Victory Again.

Acatn the Artillerymen of Charlotte- town have come off victorious at Quebec. Cur Examrnek anticipated this result. In contests requiring a combination of strength, activity and intelligence, the success of the young men of Prince Edward Island may be counted upon with well,a good deal of certainty. We heartily con- gratulate the victors.

They will be warmly welcomed home. -_—o=e « -

Hon. D. Davies’ Letter.

Ir is quite possible chat Tor EXAMINER did not catch the exact words used by Mr. Davies at the Jamaica Exhibiaion meeting. But we presume that Mr. Davies will not find fault if we hold him to his own version as given in his letter which we publish to- day. Hewrites: ‘‘I saidin substance that mo- lasses was the only article worth speaking of that our vessels brought back.” He explains that the duty on molasses is low, and quotes Mr. Newbery’s words, that it is now only 14 cent a gallon, while it was20centsa gallon under the McKenzie - Cartwright tariff, and adds, ‘‘ that is the reason why this part of the import trade from the West Indies remaius.” Again, he writes: ‘* The National Policy had shut out the importa- tion of grocery and refined sugars from the West Indits.”

Mr. Davies is very unfortunate in hie explanations. In the first place, the quan tity of sugar entered for consumption in P. E. Island from the West Indies in 1875 was only 501,752 lbs., while for the year 1889 it amounted to 629,978 lbs. The value of the molasses imported from the West Indies in 1889 was much less than ia 1878, but the quantity remains about the same. Comparing P. E. Island’s West India trade for the years 1878 and 1889--the quantity of molasses being about the same—the in- crease in last year’s importation of sugar (128,226 Ibs.) will more than make up for the falling off in 5,124 gallons of rum _ im- ported in 1878.

Our correspondent’s language regarding Mr. Davies’ speech is, we think, fully borne out by that gentleman’s own version of it, even as far as it relates to P. E. Islaxd alone. But when we know that the Do- minion’s import trade from the West Indies has doubled under the operation of the National Policy, and because of the National Policy, and that Mr. Davies’ lamentation for the want of return cargoes referred to the Dominion with the West Indies, we are amazed at his reck- lessness of assertion.

Mr. Davies’ statement regarding the West India trade is on a par with the Patriot's recent declarations that our sister Provinces do not need our cattle or pota- toes to any extent ; and that the United States is our only reliable market for these articles. In view of the fact that it became necessary Jast session to put a high duty on beef coming into Canada from the the United States, for_the impositiun of which the Grit members for this Island re- corded their votes, it is ridiculous for the Patriot to assert that the United States affords any markets for Canadian beef. But these are mere samples of the statements made every day by the Grit press and politicians of Canada.

Notes and Comments.

—The members of the United States Senate who attack Canada and accuse her of unfriendliness do so without warrant. But they can quote as their authority Mr. Laurier, leader of the Opposition.

-The general business outlook in Can- ada is most favorable. From all over the country come gratifying evidences of the people’s prosperity. In Ontario and the Northwest the crops are excellent, and, with the exception of a few localities, the same may be said of all the provinces.

— Commenting on the failure of Sher- man’s resolution, the Toronto Globe says: ‘** The fear of the Republican managers, lest an offer to us might affect the party’s chances in the fall electionsin the frontier States, has without doubt contributed to this result ; while Mr. Blaine’s unwilling- ness to treat with us in regard to trade matters until the fishery and other ques- tions have been disposed of, has also been a hostile factor on the Republican side.” Then, it was not due altogether to the fact that the Republican managers would only treat with their friends, the Canadian Op- positionists.

Montreal Gazette: ‘‘Opposition journals are trying to make the fall easier for their party by ascribing the failure of the Sher- man resolution to a feeling among the re- publicans in congress thatit would be love’s labor lost to make an offer of reciprocity to Canada while the conservative administra- tion was in power in Ottawa. There is a certain fitness about this. Having drawn their policy from Staten Island, the excuses for its failure could not come from a better place than Washington. All that is in question is, what next the liberals will go to the United States for.” .

—lInvestigations recently undertaken by

a photographic society in Genéva, says the London Advertiser, tend to show that the longer a married pair live together harmon- iously the more marked becomes the re- semblance between them. On careful in- —— of the portraits of seventy-eight old couples, and of an equal number of adult brothers and sisters, it was found that the married people were more like each other than those of the same blood. Considering that there is «a general ten- dency to marry one’s opposite in looks and temperament, the statement of the society i#@ curious comment upon the faculty human beings have for imitating those with whom they are associated.

Our Mineral Wealth.

Fine specimens of gold are daily taken out of the ‘‘Cowan mine” at Kemptville, Yarmouth Co. The crusher will resume power next week and considerable ‘‘pann- ing out” is expected.

Several Springhill men claim to have struck azinc mine near Pugwash. They have taken out the necessary right of search and are now prospecting. Thelucky men are Dr. Cove, Wesley Herritt and Hibbert and J. W. Smith. An assay made in Hali- fax has proved highly satisfactory.

An assay has been made of the silver mine at St. Stephen, N. B., and the value of the ore placed at $20.09 per ton. There are prospects of a gold lead in the vicinity.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

| Letter from Hon. D. Davies. | — -

Sir,—In your issue of yesterday yoa say, through your anonymous correspondent '** Tcewater,” that it would be hard to put | together a greater mass of ** fallacies, non- 'sense and misstatements” than [| made at the meeting called by the Board of Trade to hear what Mr. Brown, the Commission- er to the Jamaica Exhibition, had to say, and to discuss the questions he brought before us.

I am one of those who hold that when a person writes over his own signature or speaks on public questions he should not be subject to cowardly and*insulting at- tacks over anonymous signatures through the press, and I therefo.e treat ‘‘ Ice- water's” letter as an EXAMINER editorial.

Having been absent from town for some days, I did not see your report of the re- marks made by the speakers at the Jamaica Exhibition meeting until yesterday. |

You have misreported what I said on that occasion in what would seem a small but is, a ‘‘very esseutial particular.” You make me say that, owing to the N. P., the importation of molasses is stopped. I said nothing of the kind. On the contrary | said in substance molasses was the only article worth speaking of that our vessels brought back—that the National pclicy had shut out the importation of grocery and refined sugar, and the operation of the Seott Act, rum; that unless we could offer some inducement to Jamaica by taking its sugar on reciprocal terms, I was_ afraid nothing would come out of ‘‘The Exhibi-

tion.” Isaid nothing about the ‘high duty” levied on molasses. 1 was aware that it waslow. Mr. Newbery, who is

engaged in the West India business, re- plying to a question I put to him said it was only 14 cents per gallon. That is the reason why this part of the import trade from the West Indies remains ; and

'the reason why the importation of grocery

sugar from the West Indies direct has almost ceased, is owing to the high scale of duty imposed under the N. P., which throws the business into the hands of the sugar refineries. DANIEL DAVIES. Ch’town, Sept. 11, 1890.
