The news that Mr. M. M. Boyd has declined the nomination for this riding has caused widespread regret. Ever since the death of Mr. Hudspeth, his name has been mentioned by reformers as well as conservatives in connection with the position. The feeling has been very general that the best inter- ests of the riding would be served by returning a supporter of the govern ment for the present term, and Mr. many reasons the most- acceptable candidate to all parties. However, for a reason which all but the most extreme and unprincipled par- tisans will regret, Mr. Boyd has been compelled to decline the nomination. The stat-é- cf his: health makes this step imperative, a matter which is the sub- ject of (lg-31.) r. g: throughout the com munity on personal as well as on pub- lic grounds. _ It is idle new to dis-cuss whether the tendering of the nomination to Mr. Boyd without knowing definitely as to his position, was a wise m0ve from a party stuntip ‘n' It is equally idle to discuss the intentions of those who tool: iii-“ll Uses the respon- sibility u: 1- ~.‘::l:.j_,‘ :11 his behalf to the convention in the manner they did The entlvgsiism with which the name of Mr. Boyd ""s received and the nomi- that not, .r not, fi 1 ' n ‘ -“-VY‘.VT. nation tend-.. .s coconut 3. single (litigate i‘v‘glcis the mark of respect {:21‘ ‘;~:-; can 1aid to one so de- servedly popular throughout the riding.

So far as the present liberal-conserva- tive convention is concerned, it is made up of th: right nutcrial. The dog-in- the-manger spirit, which the local grit organ insinuates actuates certain pro- spective (:anditiztzcs, exists only in the imagina‘ion of the organ referred to. The charge is as great an insult as it is without foundation. Once the can- didate 1s chosen, there need be no fear of the result. __....____â€"â€"â€"â€" The Cautious Railway Policy. There have been two agencies at work to throw obstacles in the way of the Lindsay, Jobcaygeon and Ponty- pool railway scheme. The one, as a matter of course, has been rival influ- ences; the other considerations of a far different kind, but none the less dan. gerous. The construction of the line from Bobcaygeon 2‘0 the [Midland at Lindsay only would suit the one; action on the part of the municipalities con- cerned to ensure the construction of the line to Pontypool as a competing line, ata time when it is imperative that something should be done, does not suit the other. The scheme for secur- ing to this district the. advantages of railway competition, is at the tender mercies of the influences to which we have referred, and if the municipalities whose interests are at stake do not bestir themselves, as pointed out in our 1873, six years later, it had climbed to $235,300,000. History has repeated itself under Mr. McKinley’s auspices. We have had our scare, but are now awaken- ing to the fact that we are not yet. extin- extinguished, and that it is highly improb- able that we shall be. As to the future it is obvious that as reciprocity Is not to be last issue, “the possibility of connec- tion with the C. P. B. may be gone forever.” \In face of the fact that rep- resentations vs'ere"'made at Ottawa last session by outside influence that Lindâ€" THE WATCHMAN. LINDSAY, THURSDAY OC Egg and Poultry Trade. OTTAWA, Oct. 26.â€"â€"The Minister of Finance is following up his enquiries 1n regard to cold storage accomodatien on board the Atlantic liners for the shipment of eggs and poultry to Great Brnain. There is no lack of shipments of eggs, but exporters are somewhat diffident about say and district did not want a compet- ing line but simply the line northward, and in face of the fact that nothing has been done by the municipalities concerned to prove :the contrary, is it not important that there should be ,no further delay'.l With a VIPW to getting the scheme properly under way before the next session of parliament, that the grant to the Pontypool section may be secured, a public meeting was held on the 11th inst, by the mayor, in corn pliazzce with a largely signed requisi- tion of ratepayers. The meeting was sufficiently respectable, to be regarded as a fair representation of the people of Lindsay. Without a dissentient voice, the importance of the section from Lindsayto Pontypool being Se- cured, as well as the other, was admitt- ed. The importance of the municipali- ties interested granting small bonuses in order to give the bonds a. standing in the market, was also as unanimously approved. But when the resolution came upzasking the town council and the board of trade to appoint a delegation to meet with representatives from the other municipalities, in order that the question of financial assistance referr- ed to might be discussed and arranged, the policy of Mr. Micawber was with much unction first urged upon the meeting. The two provisional direc- tors who were present approved of the move. It is well known that several directors who were not present are anxious that the terms of the resolu- tion be speedily carried out. Fancy the possibility of a railway scheme being injured by the prospects of finan- cial assistance in the shape of bonuses Z The town council have seen fit to deny so far the wishes of the public meeting of the llth inst. It is to be hoped that the matter will not be allowed to ' drop, but that every eliort will be. made to secure the early co-operation of the municipalities concerned in furthering the important scheme under consider- ation. History Repeats Itself. Vi'licn the 1' fused to renew the Reciprocity treaty with Canada, it was because they con- sidered it would be in the interevts of ." I 7‘ . ,1 “ »‘ ‘ ‘ ..iteu butts 1.1 lobb L’- their own peeple to put a check upon Canadian competition in United States markets. It is idle to say that this action then was owing to irritation caused by the countenance given to the Southby England in the struggle against 1 l l the North; as eight years later the Hon. George Brown, who had championed Iceptance of his reciprocity scheme, a the cause of the North during the re- bellion and who was extremely popular at ‘iVashiugton on that account, failed to secure from the United States the ac- scheme almOst as w1de as unrestricted trade. The reason of the refusal was simply that American Statesmen at that time considered it would pay their country better to pursue a policy of re- striction, That freer trade relations with Canada have ever since been re- fused by the American people, is due to the same cause. In the opinion of the people of the United States, it sim- ply does not pay to have Canadian competition in their markets, and hence the McKinley bill. As to the effect upon Canada of the KcKinley bill, history will repeat itself. The effect of the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty and the effect of the McKinley bill upon Canada will prove precisely the same. Speaking of the fright pro' duced in Canada owing to the abroga. tion of the reciprocity treaty in 1866, the Mall says:â€" “ The people of that day supposed that through one legislative act on the part of the United States, Canada was completely undone. It transpired, however, that while we were embarrassed our discomfi- ture was not to be for ever. Mr. Brown tells us that on the abrogation of the treaty prompt measures were taken to open new markets. “ These measures were at- “ tended with remarkable success. Only “ seven fiscal years have passed since the “repeal of the treaty; but alread 18 4 “the 1059 inflicted by it has be§n(erd “ than made up, and excellent outlets in “ new directions opened for Canadian commerce.” He adds that our trade dropped from $160,409,000 to $139,200,- 000 m1 one year, owing to the tarifi' ob- struction offered to us in the American market; but that in two years it had to; covered its former volume, and that by given, there must be a levelling, down to our tariff. We are now undertaking to compete with the Americans in outside markets. If we wish to meet them face to face on winning terms we must render the conditions under which our producers labour as easy as the necessities of the revenue will allow. ” Editorial Notes. The following words from the ”766/78 form a striking comment upon the policy of looking to Hercules for help advocated by Messrs. Laurier, \‘v'iuian and Cartwright;â€"-“ Crying OVer spilt milk is always rn unprofitable employâ€" ment, and kissing the hand that smites is scarcely conduct becoming a great people. It is especially unbecoming at a time like the present, When such grand opportunities are within our reach. Never was there a time so favourable for strengthening our trade relations with the mother country. And the very fact that the United States find it impossible for them to compete suc- cessfully with us in their own markets, show thatthcy are unable to compete with us in the markets of the world. This applies especially to all natural products. If we only act wisely at this particular juncture there is no good reason why the volume of our trade with England may not be very greatly increased; and Men: will be a pcrma/wy about t/u's mar/Jet t/zat l/zere can never la about flat mantel in Me Umted Sta/es.” - -.~_n.__.__.__â€" Press Comments.

It is clear that the Liberals cannot promise reciprocity, and that if they do they boldly try to deceive. Mr. Laurier says he would send a commissioner to Washington, but that has been done before Laurier canth succeed where Brown has failed. and Cartwright cannot offer more than Tapper did, unless he adds to that offer political union, or, what Would mean or lead to the same thing, commercial union, and the United States has noteven indicated that it would agree to the com- mercial union. The Empire has learned a number of interesting facts concerning the new Cana- dian Pacific steamers from Mr. H. Mait- land Kersey, representative of the C.P.R. steamship interest on the other side of the Atlantic, Mr. Kersey had been over to the Pacific coast looking at the harbor, and although the outside lights were all right he ascertair ed that a better service was required between Vancouver and Victoria. Representations being made, however, to the Hon. Minister of Marine and Fisheries at Ottawa, Hon. Mr. Tupper has promised that the matter will be at- tended to without delay. As before in the Empire. Capt. Oswald Marshall, of the Orient service, will command the Empress of India, and Capt. Lee, at pres- ent on the Abyssinia, will take charge of the Empress of Japan. Each ship will carry about 160 men, all told, and the officers of the naval reserve, and some of them will be experts in gunnery and tor- pedo work. “In fact,” said Mr, Kersey, “one or two of our officers have been placed on the bridge of a man-of-war while being trained, and this rarely hap- pens to men out of the merchant service. The guns on board the ships are sixteen feet long, will be of enormous range, and are the same that attracted the German emperor’s attention at the late review of the Imperial navy.” # Late Saturday night or early Sunday morning the tailoring establishment of A.
