But what raised the little discussion going on in the RerorMer and Vindicator was the statement in the latter, that by his vote. Mr. 'Gibbs lost from two to three ufact ures and coinmerce thousand dollars that the country might geingand wot any dispute upon the ques- tion of Free Trade versus Protection. This is not now nor likely to be the gues- tion'of the day, unless. ths Conservative party may think it good policy to raise our tariff or introduce such an almost prohib- itive one as exists with our American neigh- bors: - However, be that as it may, we.do not intend to allow any side issue of this kind much to divert our attention from the line we at first intended to pursue, for we look. upon the Pacific Railway scheme and others as the qnestions of the 12 the - targets of the hour, upon which to make good, legitimate bullseye shots. Again, thé Vindicator asserts that Pro Bono Publies "'lays down squarely the doc- | tring of Frev Trade as a principle of his { party," and it adds; * Free Trade undoubt- | edly would 'be an excellent shing under | certain. circumstances. Then, I answer, | there is no difference between us--we hold the same sentiments precisely. The Vindi- c¢ator in his next paragraph says that Pro Bono Publico, 1st, "contradicts himself in || an extroeMinasy manner,;" 2nd, * In the first paragraph he is a broail Wyse Trader;" drd, "Inthe very nexthe is a namow Protectionist;" 4th, * No free "trade in fishing ;"! bth, *' net a foreign line must be dropped, on our shores;" 6th, *'the Fisher-| { ies, he tells us, are not an article of ex- tchange." Unto these statements let us make a scrics of denials. 1st, We do not contra- dict ourselves in any manner that we know: of, and we wish the Vindicator to show us that we do if he'can. 2nd, We are not in the:first paragraph a broad Free Trader ; | if by that is meant the throwing open of our ports to Americans for instance, while they levy a tax on our products enSterin | their country. 3rd, We are not in the very negt paragraph) a narrow protectionist, for we would allfr Americans to fish in | our waters under " specific arrangements" | profitable to ws. 4th, We did not say there was to be no Free Trade in tighing ; nor, 5th, that a foreign line must not be drop- ped on our shores, for we said our fisheries could be shared under a specific arrange- ment, and therefore a foreign line could be dropped on our shore. We have met these statements so squarely in the face on | purpose to attract attention to the reckless manner of making assertions which often pervades the columns of the Vindicator, and we shall quote from a former letter to enable the reader to judge between us. We said : ** The Reformers of Canada hold it as a principle that it is for the general interests of the people of all nations to have as free commercial intercourse as possible, and. to have as jew artificial ob- structions imposed on the exchange of the each as may be." "While we thus speak and approve of the interchange of commodities, there are certain sources of. wealth possessed by nations which do not come within the category of exchange, but ar: rather as exclusively retained as their own property, as are their forests, their fields, and their mines. One of these is our fishing fields, within three miles of the shore; and these we look upon as products o wucli private property as if they were dry lazsl; and not to be shared by any other nation ercept under as specific an arrange- ment as exists between the landlord and After reading these quota- tions, can any the tenant. candid us of contradiction of statement, of being broad free-trade pérson accuse that is, opposed to imposi- tion of any dutics->in one paragraph, and in the other a narrow protectionist --that is, in favor of exclusion, or nearly so. , Do these" quotations «convey no free trade in fishing on any consideration,' or that no féreiyn line ust 'drop on our shore!

The name of the town is Stuart ; and in a paper published there appears the fel lowing advertisement, inserted by one of the citizens, Geo. Stuart, probably. the man from whom the tdwn derives its name': "We want a flouring mill, and we are | going to have one. To any man who will build a mill worth £10,000 1 will give cash. | $1,000, and town lots worth £1,000. If this proposition is not accepted within 30 { days I will build one myself. To any de nomination that will build a church worth $4,000 I will give $1,000, cash." No wonder towns spring up fast on the other sidé of the line when they have such | men as Geo, Stuart. We want a few such men in Canada.
