A Better Canadian View

1t has been reasonable to presume that
much of the boisterous. bellicose talk of
Canadian officials and newspapers has been
for political uses In the Dominion rather
than for any supposed effect il might have
In the United States. The evidence Is
now manifesting itself that this presump-
ton Is correct. and also that many of the
most intelligent and responsible Canadian
citizens do not hold the extreme Tory
view of the rights of our New England
fishermen in Canadian ports--the view
which Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. BayaId ac-
cepted In their treaty. Hon. VIM. Nc
Dougal of Toronto has been especially
prominent In denying the right of Cana
da to forbid the shipment of American
fish In bond. In letter to the Toronto
Globe he states his position in this clear
and emphatic manner:
81 find no words in the treaty prohibiting
navigation or commerce to the inhabitants of
the United States within three miles of the
coast. The Globe, Ia criticising my former
letter, says: Fishermen are prohibited. |
answer; Yes, they are prohibited from fish
ing because their Government renounced
that liberty but when and where did the
United States reuounce the common right
of all their inhabitants to buy and sell goods
and merchandise and to enter our ports and
hsrbors for that purpose on the footing of
the most favored nation?"
This Dominion statesman puts the
American case vigorously and clearly. He
-. Ii, hi
have been quite AS much astonished as
have been thoughtful men of this country
at the timd and cowardly way in which
Mr.. Bayard fastened to surrender the
right of transshipment and to make the
enjoyment of it matter of purchase.
Signs increase that in repudiating the
wretched Bayard treaty the Senate did
what our commercial interests and nation
al dignity peremptorily demanded. While
we cannot afford to be bullied out of an
iota of our rights, and are bound by the
truest sentiment of patriotism TO stand by
the New England fishermen, we can afford
to be Practically self-reliant, and to be
drawn to the advocacy of nothing ex-
treme or premature. The sober,
second thought of the Canadians must
have time to act,

Read the Figures.

The \. Y Press certainly hits the nail
on the head when it says there is no need of
refuting the lie about the reduction of the
Mills bill being only five or seven per
cent as alleged by the Free Trade organs.
Figure it out for yourself. The total
customs duties collected in 1887 were
S2l2,0 900. Now, five per cent of this
amount would be sl0,000,00 in round
figures, and seven per cent, would be
about sl4, 000.000.
Yet Mills admits himself in his official
reports that he RENTS about $4,000, 900
or nearly one quarter of all the customs
duties.
And suppose the reduction was only
$4,000, 200, how would IL reduce the sur
plusg As matter of fact the Mills bill
abolishes at one sweep one quarter of our
customs duties and makes one sixth of all
dutiahe products free.

The terminating power of Truth con
tinues long time. Nothing good Is ever
lost. 1t is significant that the teachings
of Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, George
Evans and Luther Severance on the i'm
portance of a Protective Tariff made an
impression on the people of hennebec,
Somerset and Franklin, which has en-
durcd to the present time. Most of the
towns in these counties long gave strong
Wing majorities whenever the questions
of the tariff were really in issue. Though
most of the citizens who then gave their
votes in political contests, have past from
this life and there has been much influx OF
newpopulationt to take the places of those OF
the later generations who have gone West,
vet there still remain enough of the old
stock and of the Wing ways of thinking
to oppose a solid resistance to the PERM
cious heresies of modern Democracy
Reckoning with kennebec the towns from
Androsceggin and Franklin which used &c
belong to her, and IL will be seen that the
present Republican majority is fully equa
to the Wing majority in the most militant
and suspicious years of the Wing party
1t was fortunate for the political educa
ton of this whole kennebec region that
LUTHER SEVERANCE established the Ken
nebec journal here sixty years ago, foi
his brain and pen were always on the
right side of the questions of Slavery
Protection and Temperance. and the seeds
he planted still have negotiating power
for good, and a resisting force against tn,
whitening int,uepces of moral and politi
cal errors.

gon Pacific to the front, fast wagon ride
and had the plant attached ahead of all
others and before an assignment had been
made. At the time the contractors were
paid up to the 10th of the month while the
hands were owing for two months. Mr..
Meyers borrowed money and left for the
north. The laborers, nearly four hundred
strong, quit work and are said to be on
their way to Corvallis with blood In their
eyes, declaring vengeance on Neugass,
Hoag or anyone they can get hold off.
Their time checks In order to appease their
wrath were made out to Meyers 4 Co. or
the Oregon Pacific, which on It's face fore.
boees storm. Meyers & Co. give their
reasons for the failure as follows, we are
informed : Their contract with the Com
pany calls for 20 cents cubic yard for dirt
work and 90 cents for rock work. Consid.
erable Of the grading was in rock work,
but the engineer estimated Il rs only a
and the Company allowed emily
so cents cubic yard, Mr.. Meyers says
he has grown gray in railroad work and
never saw such estimates before The
money paid on the contracts seems to have
gone to take up securities, as nearly as we
can learn. Anyway It results In Jacobs &
Neugass having liabilities amounting TO
about SIco,ooo and assets to 10000 to $7c,-
600, and the prospects of another big suit.
The whole failure Is an unfortunate one !;
but OF course will have no effect on the
rapid development of the railroad.
