Reduction of Taxation.

Tux people of this Province will rejoice, with those of the rest of Canada, that the general prosperity of the country, as ev)- denced by the largely increased volume of its trade, and the consequent additions to its revenue, together with economical management on the part of the Govern- ment, justifies a very considerable reduction of taxation. Nor will their satisfaction be diminished on learning that tea, coffee, tin and other articles have been eer on the free list, and that what are known as the stamp duties have been abolished.

Neither tea, coffee, nor tin are produced in this country ; and, therefore, there can be no doubt that when they are dutiable,

the duties come directly from the pockets of the people. By taking the duties off these articles, the peo-

ple will not only be relieved of expense, but the National Policy of protection to native industries will be fully maintained. In fact,as the cost of living will by ao much be reduced, the protection given to all who are interested in the industries of the country (and whe is not ?) will, by so much, be enhanced. Tea and coffee are articles of general consumption ; and, therefore, the abolition of the duties on these articles will be a relief all round. It is as fair to all sorts and conditions of the people of Canada to take the duties off tea and coffee, as it was fair to all sorts and conditions ef the people of Great Britain to take the duties off corn ; and as all the other concomitants are produced among us, we shall now enjoy a free breakfast table. Thanks to the Government and Sir Leon- ard Tilley.

The repeal of the duties on tin will bea real advantage to the country; for we are obliged to import all we use ; and the abrogation of stamp duties on notes of hand and bills of exchange will be a great boon to business.

Our Own Militia. In the report of the state of the Militia, we find the following references to “‘ our own men” :—

Lieut. Passmore of No. 1 Battery was tem- porarily attached.

36 rank and file.

The battery paraded in marching order. Marched past, and were put through manual and firing exercises, company drill, and skir mishing drill, all of which was fairly well done. The general appearance of the men was very good, and their clothing and equip ments clean and in good order, with a few

exceptions. The ba was then inspected in garrison gun drill, the whole of the men being put

through standing-gun drill, which was very well done. At Lieut. Irving's request, Major Holmes and I examined 15 men as to their knowledge of gun drill, &c., and of this num- ber 10 a good examination, showing a knowledge of their drill considerably above the average. I have also sent these men examination questions, which will be answered under the snperintendance of Major Freeland, Brigade Major. (See Note 14).

I afterwards examined Lieut. Irving and the non-commissioned officers of the battery in the printed questions on gunnery. &c,, and with very fair results.

The present very efficient state of this bat- tery reflects the greatest credit on the exer. tions of Lieut. Irving, and I hope that, as No, | Battery appears at present to be in a disorganized condition, his command may either be increased in numbers, or completed up to the required strength in officers.

The note, to which reference is made, is by the Major-General commanding, and is as follows :—

“I was well pleased with this battery, as a pn willing body of men, with an enthusiastic commandiag officer.”

“THE ENGINEERS.”

Lizvr.-Cor. Joun B. Tayior, in his re- port, says :—

Charlottetown Engineers —This is a very fine company, and Major Dogherty, the com- manding officer, evidently bas taken great pains with hie men. They performed ]2 days drili at Charlottetown, and also 4 daya addi- tional at Camp Sussex. I inspected them on the 20th July, and was very much pleased with their steadiness under arms, and at drill, aod with the good and eflicient state of their uniform and equipments; at inapection they went chrough infantry drill, and are an ef- cient infantry company, (See Note /5).

The note referred to is by the Major- General commanding, who says:—‘' f saw

EIGHTY-SECOND BATTALION,

The 82ad Battalion, under Lieut. -Col. Beer, performed annual drill at local headquarters. I inspected them at Charlottetown on the 20th July, and found the Battalion in a good state, very fairly drilled, and with a good class of men; arms and accoutrements (with the exception of one company) were clean, and well taken care of ; clothing good ; company officers and non-commissioned officers require mere instruction.

They were the only corps in camp who were at all equip in “‘marching order,” and at the review on Ist July appeared to a great advan- tage, their movements on parade being re- markably steady and soldier-like, in fact their whole turn-out was considered highly credit- able to Prince Edward Island.

THE DAILY HXAMI

The Fishories.

We acknowledge the receipt of the Seventh Annual Report of the Bostor Fish Bureau. It gives a crisp historical review of the New England Fisheries from early daya to the present time, As early |a as 1618 the abundance of fish in the waters | ¢ of Massachusetts Bay had attracted atten- tion in Europe. The Pilgrims going fr m | s Leyden to England in that year to se icit the consent of King James to their going « to America, the King inquired, ‘* What profit might arise } simply ‘ Fishing.” responded, ‘*So God have my seul, honest trade ; ing.” The request was granted. ay To the Fisheries the credit is given 0!) saving the infant colony from starvatior. | « The first free schools were supported with | an income from the Fisheries. \t

The first wholesale salt |! Wharf, | t

year the trawl! was first introduced by fish- ermen who had used, or seen them used, Puring 1880 the

by the United States Fish Commission. ; the present time all] three methods are use by the mackerel fishermen. In the mack erel catch, the purse seine superseded al! previous methods, and is now almost exelu- sively used. Its use is said to date from 1855, although it did not come into general! | use for a number of years. The largeat catch of mackerel on record | was taken, as inspected in Massachusetts, | in 1851—329,000 barrels—all taken by | hook and line, by 853 vessels hailing from | Massachusetts ports, with 87 vessels from | other States, making a total of 940 vessels, manned by 9,993 fishermen. During 1881, the year for tvhich this report was issue®, the catch was 391,657 barrels, taken by a fleet numbering 298 sail, from Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, all using the purse seine. With the exception of 470 barrels, the entire catch was taken off the United) States coast. The catch in Provincia! waters was almost an entire failure, so far as American vessels were concerned. The | few vessels which visited our waters only |

But they returned home in season to make | a good record,

The catch on the New England opened a little later than the size and quality average, with more Ne. 1's, and at absence of the very smail No. 4’s, which | prevailed so Jargely in 1880. The catch up to June was mostly taken south,and sold fresh. The whole catch found a ready market at all seasons, with higher prices | tham for several years. We observe by late Boston papers that the Southern demand is large, and the stock on hand small, and prices high; jobbers seVing No. 3’s at $9.50; No. 2’s $12: last year they sold at $6 to $7; | No. ls, $20 to $22, and will probably ge} higher. ’

Boston is the principal market for th sale of Provincial caught fish. The earliest record of the importation of Provincial fish | is 1821, when seven barrels were reported. | From that date until 1831 a few hundred barrels were imported annually, the

g coast usual, and were of an]

i

nur ber that year being 4,552 barrels, increas: | ing up to 1841 to 10,687, From that year |

until 1849 the records were «e« stroyed by | fire. In that year it had increased to 138,- | 505 barrels, and yearly from that date| from 50,000 to 100,000 barrels of mackerel, with a large quantity of all other varieties of fish caughtin Provincial waters, found a ready market in Boston,

The Provincial catch was so far a failure that there was a falling off of 43,880 barrels in the importation into Boston in 1881, compared with that of 1880.

We notice that some vessels of the mack- | erel fleot made some very large catches. The catch of the ‘‘Alice’’ for the season was 4,905 barrels, stocking $28,055; the ‘* Edward E. Webster,” 4,500 barrels,stock- ing $26,570.

The codfish catch was an average one, both off the New England coast, as well as the Grand and Western Banks, and prices have held firm at an advance of $1.00 to $1.25 a quintal on the previous year. The largest fare taken by the schooner ‘‘ Willie McKay,” of Provincetown--3,700 quintals, stocking $14,000.

The total fleet engaged in yround fishing, principally codfish, was 604, the catch for the year being 775,027 quin- tals. The Gloucester fleet brought in 7,093,400 halibat.

The report truly says that there is prob- ably no industry with Jike capital and num- ber of persons engaged, that yearly shows as great a loss of jife and property. With the severe gales or storms, the past season (1881) shows considerable loss, aud this must be recerded as the dark side of an otherwiee prosperous year. The losses, as usual, nearly all fall on the bankers of Gloucester, that part losing seven sail, with forty-three men ; the value of vessels and property, $29,800. The losa of life rom other parts included ,aggrezates a total of fifty men, while the loss of property has been limited to damaged sails and numerous seine boats.

Death of Mr. Archd. McFarlane.

Tuk following is the verdict of the Cor- oners jury :—

“*That the said Archibald McFarlane on the 24th day of February, beiog driver of Fngine No. 90, going west on special snow plow clearing train, of whick Daniel Me Donald was conductor, when about a milk west of Summerside, slipped and fell from said engine, the outside running gear striking him on the head, which, together with sno + ~~ passing over his body, caused his eath.

It was never a characteristic of anything connected with the town, for that matter; but we notice iis absence more in the young than in others. He drifts aiong as his father did before him. Depending on ‘‘the old man” to a great extent, he makes no new depar- ture for himself. By and by, the support from ‘‘the old man” is not forthcoming, and then he disappears.

The Silsby on Runners.

YESTERDAY EVENING Chief Engineer Large and Capt. Hickey tisted the new runners which have been attached to the hind wheels of the Silsby engine. Here- tofore it was impossible to move the engines on wheels while our streets were covered with deep spow. But this difficulty has been removed by fitting the engine with a pair of iron runners projected by the Chief Engineer, drafted by Engineer Batt, and manufactured by Mr. George Foster. The runners are shaped as those ef acom- mon bob-sleigh, and are of light angle iron, six inches broad. They are attached to the hind wheels only by a single bolt and connected to the fore axle tree by a slight chain from each runner top. When tested yesterday they proved a grand success. Two horses attached to the ‘‘ Silsby ” drew her through deep snow to the tank at Me- Kachern’s ccrner, Queen Street, without a halt. Then four herses were attached and the engine was drawn through the differ- ent streets of the city whether free or full of snow, to the principal tanks. Even the iank at Lea’s Factory was reached, a feat which never before was performed while any depth of snow covered the streets. ftev this satisfactory trial, tiie runners were removed from the engine, and an aitempt made to draw her on wheels. But the horses were not equal to the task. They stuck several times, and had difficulty in getting back to the Engine House. Thua the runners are a gravd success, aud all who had a hand in obtain- ing. them deserve great praise.
