Or. Michael Davit the eminent Irish politician who arrived in the City tuesday was seen by a free press reporter yester Day. In reply to an interrogation his impressions of the Canadian Northwest or. Davit said one would have to remain a year m the Northwest in order to obtain anything like an accurate knowledge of its bewildering extent of territory and dazzling possibilities of development. The country is extensive enough Tio be an Empire and Rich enough in the bound less acreage of fruitful soil East of the Rockies and in the Mineral wealth that lies open to labour and Enterprise in British Columbia to justify the highest Hopes that have been expressed about the future Prosperity of the great Northwest. I have now travelled twice Between Winnipeg and Victoria and have visited a Good Many Parta of Manitoba the territories and British Columbia and i have seen evidence everywhere of growing communities of Industrial activity which convinces me that what has been written or Sai Daboub the Progress of the country Falls far Short of the reality. I have met men among your settlers representing every nationality of Europe and from one and All i have heard expressions of Contentment and Hope. Everyone seems to be imbued with Confidence in toe future of his adopted have you seen much of our crop or Davitt and what is your opinion of the prospects of our Harvest on my Way East i have stopped Over a Banff Calgary Regina and Brandon. I have gone Down the Souris Valley and traversed the whole of the Turtle Mountain District arriving Here by Bhe Pein Bina line and with a very few exceptions the crops looked m to wifi cent All along my j journey. If this weather Only continues for three weeks More your Farmers hearts will have Good Rea Aon to rejoice. I have Ridden through Miles of continuous wheat Fields in some places the stalks Cau Flitcr As High As the horses backs. I have byen shown Oats that were sowed on the lat of june standing Over three feet on the Slot of july. Barley likewise shows no Fine and if the i Ost will Only keep off the finest Harvest Ever reaped in the Northwest will be gathered in this what Are your import Sions of the Rocky Mountain scenery no description however eloquent can come up to the reality. The human Eye alone can do Justice to the countless giant peaks the glaciers water Falls Lake Rivers canyons and Lovely land scape views which pass before the traveller from the Summit of the Rockies to the City of Vancouver. Going Down the enchanting Val Ley of the Frazer River one is puzzled which to Admire most the magnificence of nature s handwork or the daring Veniua of Man that is seen in the construction of a railway through a Region where precipitous Mountain and Roar aug Torretti were apparently meant to reign supreme. The recollections of a journey up Ovown the Frazer Valley will never fade Ohe minds of those who travel that Way and who love the Beautiful and Sublime in nature. Was reported that you had visited the proposed settlement for crofters in British or. Davitt and that you expressed an opinion Adverse Tio the location of the contemplated Colony 2" yes i went from Victoria to the san Juan Valley upon learning that it was proposed to locate some crofters there. The place a on the Southwest of Vancouver Island almost opposite to Cape flattery at the Mouth of the san Juan de Fuca Straits and is Home 60 Miles by sea from Victoria the Valley is a government reservation of acres. Itie almost All covered with heavy Timber while nearly half of it is precipitous Mountain which even when cleared will be of no use for Agri cultural purposes. In my judgment the i a co is not suitable for crofters. They know nothing about Clearing forests and if they Are located where their prospects for four or five years will be marred by the labor of Felling heavy Timber i fear they would become discontented. There Are Many other More suitable places in British Columbia to which they might be taken and where they would be More at Home and have a far better Chance of progressing than in the san Juan Valley Ana i Hope that these localities will be visited inspected and compared with the san Juan location before any definite step is taken to brine these poor people from Scotland. If on the other hand it is Only contemplated to locate them at san Juan with the object of developing a fishing Industry at the Mouth of the Straits and in the san Juan and Gordon Rivers there is some thing to be said in favor of the selection. Silver Salmon is found in both Rivers and halibut fishing a Good in that part of the Straits of san Juan de Fuca opposite the Little Bay i am delighted in every Way with my double trip across Bhe continent and the Brac ing air of the Northwest and the continuous Good time which i have lad All along my tour have buildup my health very much.1 or. Davitt a staying at the Clarendon and will remain in the City for a couple of Days in order to rest after his Long journey. Communications. 1q1ijalx s Mantle. To the editor of the free press. Seems to be agreed on All hands that Fine present stat of affairs at Ottawa is a temporary arrangement. The successor to sir John Macdonald is not yet found Aud the question a still asked who is to continue the National policy where is the Eucha on whom Elijah d Mantle shall fall the ques Tion is a momentous one for Manitoba and the Northwest. As has Boon recently pointed out More than once in free press leaders the grits have thrown Over Western Canada they consider id an expensive luxury that ought Bobo abandoned. Having themselves tacked it on the Dominion they would now rip the Gean Aud turn us add feb such a policy a a pig headed policy but it is nevertheless a dangerous one and it behoves us therefore to look to ourselves. Manitoba Aud the Northwest Are not an expense to the Domin Ion. They coat the country have Cost it robbing that is not a profitable invest ment. On she contrary new Canada constitutes the Bank on which old Canada must ultimately draw it is the source of the future wealth of the whole Dominion and although i will not go so far As to say that it should Mould the policy of the country it should certainly impress its Mark on the counsels of the nation. Eastern Canada ought never to be Able to say we will do this or we will do that without Manitoba and the Northwest or in spite of and Yeb that is what seems to be the idea of the leaders of the grits. Now As far As i am Able to judge what is Good for Manitoba and the Northwest is Pood for All Canada and in View of the state of affairs above indicated i am inclined to be Lieve that the first being to be done is not to find the Man bub to declare the policy. Measures before and if we cry state clearly what we want we May be sure Bhatte Man to Lead a to Bhe goal will speedily appear. I have no knowledge of Eastern can Ada but it have opportunities of judging what is wanted in Western Canada and with your permission sir i will state what i think is the policy that ought to be pursued. At present the pole Star of the policy that will most suit the Prairie settlers is the rapid completion of the Hudson Bay railway and indeed railway Extension generally. The grit leaders Are opposed to this. They regard railways in Manitoba and the Northwest with As great a horror and contempt As did Thiers the first railway in England. Expenditure on such a policy they look upon As waste of Money not having realized that civilization immigration and wealth follow the Iron Road. It a High time that the locomotive supplement if it do not supplant the of team wherever there Are settlers. As Long As this is done judiciously and honestly with our doodling or "3600 a tile clauses with no convenient Uncle at Headquarters or jewelry transactions of the Perley Diamond sort then the investment is a sound investment that will pay itself Over and Over again. Close upon the heals of a railway policy comes an immigration policy but this is so obvious that nothing needs to be said beyond that it should avoid previous blunders and aim not Only at getting immigrants to come but to keep them Here when they do come. Next comes the question of the Tariff and this ranges itself under two Heads 1st, our commercial relations with the United states and 2nd, Bur relations with ourselves. As to the first unrestricted reciprocity is a Corpse. Mckinley killed sp1oug As Bhe Mckin Ley act a in unrestricted reciprocity would be an Extension area not of free Trade but of the most outrageous Protection on the face of the Earth. Apolion that would Knock Down the barriers on the 49th parallel merely to erect stronger Mckinley barriers a d every Pori on the Atlantic and the Pacific would result in our paying of Revenue to the United states traders and then taxing ourselves to make up the deficiency. We should thus pay Bhe Money twice Over Anid one half Only would remain in Tho country a. One of the objects of unrestricted reciprocity is to increase our Pursha Aea from the and thir would be at the enhanced prices caused by the Mckinley Tariff. Thus it is we should pay twice. The evil effects would be much More widespread. By Erab ing almost prohibition try barriers at the ports we should be obliged Tony from Bhe states what we now buy from England and the rest of now if we cease to buy from Europe Europe will cease to buy film us Nob willingly or out of retaliation bub of necessity by the Law of International Trade. Such Trade after All is merely barter. One nation pays another nation for Bhe goods it buys not in Money but in commodities and if we do not buy from Europe she will Nob because she cannot buy from us. Unrestricted reciprocity therefore Means loss of our european Trade both Waye the difference being made up by buying from the states at enhanced prices the Loas being provided by taxing ourselves to meet the deficiency. An other effect of such a policy and one often lost sight of is that to would throw out of employment thousands of european operatives. Many of these would emigrate borne coming to Canada. Penniless operatives with neither the desire nor the aptitude to Settle on the lands Are the Yery worst enemies we could have. What then is wanted to prevent the resurrection of the grit proposal is an a lighted treaty of Commerce with the United and i venture to suggest that free Trade in natural is not the proper basis on which such a treaty should be constructed. The basis should be the line of least resistance that is to say the natural Channel of inner National Trade. One nation yields to another what it can Best spare in return for what it most wants and it will generally be found that what one nation can Best spare is precisely what the other nation most wants. Let me illustrate the official tables of imports and exports show that Canada and the United states require each other s Coal for Large quantities go from us to our neighbor and vice versa. It is the same with regard to grains. The United states want our Barley and we buy largely from them of other sorts of Grain. These it a True Are natural products but America also wants our lumber a manufactured article our Iron and steel manufactures and our Cottons and we consume similar manufactures from across Bhe Frontier. To prevent this natural flow of Trade by a Tariff is not to protect but to harass. I do not say that All Bhe articles to be embodied in a treaty will fit so Pat As those i have mentioned but i believe if the principle be acted upon by our commissioners at washing ton next october they will be doing a much greater Good than confining themselves merely to natural products. With reference to the Tariff As it affects our selves what i mean is that the customs duties should be so reformed that in protecting Che manufacturers we do not injure the workmen. Take for instance Bhe makers of Wall papers. It is quite conceivable that a duty Bhat would protect manufacturers who Are Content with Small production at High prices would injure the paper hangers who prefer a Large production and care no thin about the Price because the More Wall paper there i the More there is to hang. I do not say this in particular Trade because i know nothing of the Trade but it seems to me that there Are Many items in the present Tariff that hardly press upon the Rich manufacturer but press heavily upon the poor Workman. A revision should be made in these subjects i believe then that railway Extension immigration a commercial treaty with the states and Tariff Reform constitute a platform that commends itself to the people of Mani Toba and the Hort Hwesi. It Job my persuasion that it should commend itself to the rest of Canada. In is indeed the natural outcome and continuation of the policy of the great chief to recently taken away and if those at the head of affairs will accept such a policy there need be neither difficulty nor delay in choosing a Leader.
