Weldon m.p., of Albert new Brunswick would seem to hold View in common with Many of his fellow members o the conservative party. He wan interviewed a few Days ago As to the future policy of tha party when he said to immediately make overtures to the Imperial government for larger Trade with the British Island is the party s duty. I do not think the British people appreciate the significance of tha recent elections. They simply know that the government is sustained but do not realize the mome Utoqua character of the issues involved. The time has now come when England must choose Between abandoning Oana Daur agreeing to an Imperial Tariff that will give Canadian products n preference in English markets in return for a reference to English manufactures in Oana Ian markets. If England will not do annexation is Nob Only probable but appear to be the inevitable destiny of Canada. But if England will agree to discriminate against foreign and in favor of Canadian lumber bar Ley cheese butter beef and ergs in consider Tion of a material lowering of Canadian duties on English manufactures the Futura struggle is an Evsy perhaps or. Weldon Baa read the debate which took place quite recently in tha British Koch a of common on or. Howard Vincent s Resolution urging that a colonial con Fereuc should to summoned to consider the question of the Trade of the Empire. That debate it is True is important Only being the latest in which expression was Given to English Public senti ment on the Subj eco. There Haa never been the faintest Hope held out by the responsible leaders of either party in Groat Britain that an arrangement Wuoti a that suggested by or. Weidon could be carried out. And in the Robate referred to the Chancellor of the exchequer speaking the mind of the government while sympathizing most warmly with a Cleaire for a Clouer Union of All the parts of Tho Empire was careful to make it under stood that the British people would Noli Purchase it a the expense of that Trade policy which Haa made British Commerce supremo in the world. The scheme smells of Protection and great Britain will have none of it. This has been made Abund Antly Manifest by the repented declarations of those who Are entitled to spunk for the ple. I Ata bound to exclaims or. Goschey in this latest utterance on the subject we must Endeavor to scent out Section Bucnis protectionists Lurk in Many places where you would scarcely expect to find them. Some of them mingle with the bimetal ism and others join the Imperial Federam Niata and wrap them Elva round in Tho folds of the Union jack.11 if Tho attempt were Sou Only made to give form or substance to the scheme of Imperial commercial Union such a or. Weldon and other Canadian tories affect to favor instantly the cry would be that it waa proposed to raise the Price of the loaf. If raids a political ques says or. Gushen j if it wore put an n question of making Broad dearer i am bound to that no such plan would enter into the Region of the food products supplied by the Colon ies form but u Small proportion of Tho Quantity imported by great Britain and to discriminate in to Weir favor would be to raise the Price on Tho very much larger foreign to Thyl extent of Tho duty. Why should the English people thus to us themselves for our Benefit or How can we them to do it what Chance or or. Guschel hive the colonies held out to Tia that they arc prepared to move a this customs Union direction the Mut is that they will keep Wall ten Foet High Neain at is and male it eleven fee1 High against foreigners. Suppora he adds we made immense a Rincea to Effort a customs Union with the colonies it might be that the opening made for our goods was on such n Small Salo that it would be but a sight Relief against the immense sacrifices of Trade we should be obliged to or. Weldon enumerates lumber Burley Cheeky butter and eggans the articles in favor of which Britain is to discriminate. There Are Alao wheat flour and cattle of which Canada is a Larce exporter. Of All these great Britain imports largely from other countries the discrimination proposed would add to Price to Tho con Burner.

Notwithstanding the result of the can Adian election and notwithstanding or. Blake s manifesto unrestricted reciprocity with Tho United statin not a Send Imus. The great bulk of Tho Liberal party is and for it and there a no telling what the education of the next few years on the subject will bring Forth. But it May to found impracticable or inconsistent with our connection with the Empire in Csc it will have to be abandoned. Aj1 Greenway As a la Abb. It is a matter of common remark that or. Greenway has commenced the session by introducing irrelevant personalities into the de notably was this the Case in the de aate upon tha budget where he gave a Loose rein to Hia native coarseness taunting or Elo Blin the newly elected Leader of the opposition with his inexperience ivs n Leader and his friends at so far As the for Mer charge is concerned or. Greenway Haa Little reason to congratulate himself upon or. Roblin a deficiencies a it waa apparent to every auditor of the two speeches that in form and substance or. Roblin a speech was decidedly Superior to that of the Premier. As to the latter charge no one knows better than or. Greenway that. Or. Roblin opposed the attorney general upon provincial and i upon Dominion issues. Or. Martin s election to Tho Dominion parliament was desired by the Premier and his followers first Becaum that waa the easiest Way of getting rid of their inc nuns second because or. Martin s election would have been a practical Indore action of the provincial government and third because or. Mar tin s record waa not snob As to justify any Confidence in his future conduct a a member of Tho government. Or. Martin was an avowed annexation St a suspected Boodler and a Man without heart or according to his colleague s own estimate of his character. Wat or. Roblin to support such a Man because he falsely claimed to be n and ran upon the Liberal ticket or. Roblin As a consistent Liberal in the Best sense of Tho word could not conscientiously do so nor could he remain passive while so foul an injury was intended to his party and his Vince. For this he a taunted by the Conser. Native turn coat who now Unworthily represents the Liberal vote that placed him at the head of the government of this province. People who live in housed should to careful about Stone throwing and it ill becomes or. Greenway to taunt others for a change of opinion even when Auch a change has taken place. But this is not All. Or. Greenway went of indignation because reference to the desirability of securing a larger immigration be made a comparison Between of Warburton Jpike s travels of which some mention was made in these recently the Edmonton bulletin has the follow ing interesting article a Tarburton m. Pike Hunter and traveller it for Calgary on tuesday returning from an extended Hunting trip on the Barren grounds in the for North. Or. Pike own a a ranch on in Island near Victoria b.c., Aud is known All Over British Columbia As an enthusiastic and successful sportsman. In the Spring of 1880 to determined to seek a new sporting Field and to try his skill on a new and strange variety of celebrated Musk oxen of the vast Barren grounds of Arctic America. He passed through Edmonton in june of 1889, and taking a aarae on the h. B. Steamer at Hannaca at too Landing and afterwards on the Grahame at fort to Murray he sailed Down Tho Atha Basca and great slave Rivers to fort Resolution whore the latter River enters great slave Lake on the 20th of August he left Resolution in it Canoe with a party of halt Breed and Indian Huntera and their families who were on the Way to the place of their fall Hunt for the Reindeer or Caribou of the bar Ren grounds which forms the main subsist Ance of the scanty population of the far North. The sailed or paddled Northeast Wardly from fort Resolution to n Point on the North Altoro of great slave Lake about 150 Miles from i orb Resolution. Leaving the women and children there the men of the party four one Indian and or. Piko Portage their canoes about eight Miles Over a comparatively High Mountain and reached the Waters of a Cabin of Ikea which stretches for to Tho northward. The Shore of the great slave Lake Are very Rocky chiefly Granite of a formation similar to that North of Lake Superior with a Light growth of Spruce Birch and Willow. There Cully and danger of Cox warily attending the trip in search of the animals must necessarily prevent any wholesale Slaughter. Baeider the immense cute Rob and difficult nature of the Region in which they Are found will always be a great Protection to them. No intelligent estimate Cun possibly be formed of their present numbers. The party were absent from Camp on the trip 21 Davs getting safely about the first of december. The weather was very cold and Stormy while they were out and the Londa were so heavy both going and returning and the Pace to slow that some of the dogs Fiozzo to death on the return Trig. From the Camp they went on to fort Resolution which they reached about Christmas or. Pike spend the remainder of the Winter until the Mouth of May in Hunting Deer in the Vicinity of fort Resolution and in making a trip Wood Buffalo Westward from fort Resolution in the direction a Hay River. In company with some India Huntera he found a band of eight Buffalo of which a killed one. He believes the Wood Buffalo to be the same As the Buffalo of the Plains but grown n Little career on account of having better feed and Leps travel Ling and the color of the Robe a Little Darker on account of Itu being less bleached by the Sun and winds of the Prairie. The Indiana seem inclined to protect rather than destroy the Wood Buffalo Only killing Ono Neuron ally. Their numbers Are Uuk own Aud or. Pike thinks rehab they Are generally under estimated. They Are heard of in various parts of the vat Region Between Tho Athabasca. Peace and Liard Rivers a country unexplored and unknown and the fact that bands Are often Yoeu is fair evidence that they exist in conic durable in into paroxysms or. Roblin a of securing be made a the immigration statistics of Manitoba and Dakota. Or. Greenway characterized suon a comparison a unpatriotic and As belittling the character and resources of our own province and that it was the fancy of or. Roblin a friends at Ottawa was behind hand in population. There wow not a word in or. Roblin s speech to provoke this Trade in fact he said that the advantages of Mani Toba were much Superior to those of Dakota. Large numbers of those included in the statistics of Dakota were moving As quickly a they could into Manitoba and the Northwest and because or. Rohlin and Vised that efforts should be made by the government even at the expense of doubling their estimate for immigration to secure As Large a number of these desirable emigrants As possible the Premier treated the House an exordium on patriotism and loyalty with it final reference to Tho policy of or. Roblin s alleged Frinda a can any sensible Man defend or approve such silly clap trap is a reference to the Stati Vics of Progress in the United states unpatriotic is a recommendation to secure class of emigrants from Dakota belittling our and what has or Hod or. Roblin to do with the Dominion policy of restrictions id because he opposed or Martin s election a a Lodjai Man knowing or. Mart a advanced tendencies he was bound to do so. As a True Liberal he was bound to Oechel a spurious egotist whose Only ambition is to help himself into the front rank of provincial Capit Alitta. Or. Green Way a bursts of filthy eloquence will not go Down with either the House or the country. Let them remember also that it a his duty As it should be Hia privilege to re Frain from violence in speech or manner in his position As Leader of the government and that instead of setting Tho Bud example Lohia followers of introducing personalities into de Bate he of All Luti both from bin present position and Pani history to Trio last to do so. If to 1 jes nut take this advice he need not complain if members of the opposition retaliate. Are Many islands in the Lake Rocky like the coast and similarly wooded. The Chain of lakes traversed lie in a country of a nature similar to the he Ore of Tho great Slavo Lake. Small Timber is found for about 100 Miles from the Lake becoming More scanty with the distance to the North. The remainder of the distance to the height of land Between the Waters of great slave Lake and those of the great fish River is of n like Rocky nature but with Little or no Wood except Small Willow twigs. This in the beginning of the Darren of "tkheleb8 hounds. The Region is most mountainous but in part id a to Rocky and broken that even the doer avoid it. The vegetation in chiefly Moss growing on the Long Blach variety which is used fool by the Deer and oxen and a fuel by variety of Heather growing in the crevices Between the locks and a Little Gross growing where there a enough soil to support it. The lakes traversed bad abundance of whitened Trout and suckers but the indians pay Little attention to the fishery except when the Supply of Deer fails. Wild fowl had already gone South before the Chain of lakes waa reached but the Deer which the party were Hunting were met in myriads on their Way South to Tho shelter of the wooded cout itry where they Winter. They go North in Spring and feed All summer and produce their Young on the Barren grounds but invariably seek Tho Ahsler of the wooded country Lor the Winter. The Indiana meet Thorn in these migrations and. Slaughter them with Spears from Capo of As the Deer swim across lakes or Rivers on their Coureau. Deer sometimes called rend ref Are a species of Caribou considerably Tiina Llor than the Woodland Caribou and weigh ing about two thirds As much. The head is finer and the nose More like the True that of the Woodland Caribou. The Hora ate Patna Ted like those of the Caribou but Are smaller and have More branches Aud Points. They Are very irregular in size no two being exactly Aho. Tho Deer Are in millions and upon them depend fur food not Only the Indiana Bat the chief fur bearing Anima la of the fur North the Wolf woh Erino and White Fox. Although the of Deer is enormous every they Are not perceptibly decreasing but Are changing their course of Nigra Tion keeping further to the eastward than formerly to avoid tub Hunting of indians which strike eastward from the Mackenzie River. The Ptarmigan or White Partridge is found in Large numbers in Winter Aud summer in Tho sparsely wooded Region bordering the True Barren grounds on the South and a quite an important source of food Supply but it a not found on the True Barren ground. To Arctic Hare consider ably larger than the Rabbit of Tho timbered pars of Tho North but a lao found on Tho Borders of the Barren grounds but not in Large numbers. Or. Pike and the party with which he was were very successful in their Deer Hunt mid travelled slowly northward until they reached the Divide Between the Waters of thu great slave Lake and those of great fish Rier at the very last of the Woods.
