Dear Sir.—I was duly favered with vours of

which please accept wy warmest thanks.

Lhave caretully perused your documents, and

price of labor (48. wath tood tor unskilled labor) .
and although your land may be cheap, aud each

sa. to 108. per week without rations.) At the
suine time | ean well comprehend the fores of
your rewark, when you say “ P. E. Island wants
capital, evergy aud euterprise for its develope-
meut.” The Wants are many and can be pointed
out, but it is not so easy to substitute a remedy
Looking at your statistics, exports, and the simail-
ness of their quantity, after oats (which exceeds
one million bushels), }donot see how eapital can
be profitably employed either in agriculture or iv
Commerce.

The uature of your produce, and the small
money value it fetebes in a foreign market, alter
paying freight’ and all other charges, leaves a
small return to go inte the pockets of the produ-
cers. And again looking at your prices, and the
prices ruling here, 1 do net see any inducement

the statistics place you in, by shewing you do not
grow as much wheat as feed yourselves, but iim-
port flour largely from your Yankee friends; and,
in return, dhe halfot your exports go ty the States
to liquidate the imports.

Now what occurs to ine is, that your Farmers
produce articles (barley, oats aud potatoes) pos-
sessing too litthe teney value tor export, and after
paying freight, charges, and couuiission, they
can get very little to themselves: and I would

that he was seiguerant as he pretended to be.

er entice men to desert was a serious misde-
team, aed that owas the duty of mhe Court te

tenced the prisoner to be imprisoned, and kept at
hard labour in the jail of Charlottetown for six

and that it was open to him te apply to the Ex-

If the principle be adwitted that any man or
