LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Prices of Farm Products.
Sir, —Howling Grit demagogues, during the late election campaign, told the people that the Government was to blame for the low price of farm products. It was no use to tell these blinded partizans that although the price of oats was only 28 cents a bushel, the price would be still lower only that the National Policy had built up a home mar- ket superior to the foreign market; that oat-buyers, Mr. Welsh among the rest, would be still in the business if they could
cents less than the home price; aad that so far as farm produce was concerned, the prices were low all over the civilized world. It was useless, I say, to tell them this white the election was going on, but I had hop- ed that some of them at least would own up to the truth as soon as the election was over. In this, however, it appears that I am to be; disappointed—if | may judge by the debate that took place in the Lezgis- lative Council over the Lieutenant-Gover- nor’s speech. One of the wiseacres of that august body informed his audience, which consisted of his twelve fellow-councillors, that, ‘‘We have an industrious population in this Province, but I cannot see that their industry has been crowned with that success which it deserves. We have had very poor markets for our produce, etc.” Well, now that the election is over, will His Honor be kind enough to tell us who is to blame for this state of affairs. Not a kind Providence, surely, as His Honcr’s words would seem te imply. Not the Dominion Government either, for their policy has natually increased the price of almost every kind of farm produce in Canada. Who, then, is to blame? Let the St. John Telegraph, that good Grit orgen, explain. Here is what it says—and I trust that the truth of its remarks may make a deep impression on the mind of His Honor, who obtained a seat at the Council Board by sailing under false colors :—
‘‘The past year was remarkable for the extreme low prices of farm products through- out the civilized world. The extent of the general decline may be best measured by a comparison between last year’s prices and those prevailing in Great Britain, the mother country, forming a common market for other | canntelin that have a surplus for export. It is stated officially that as compared with the average prices for forty years wheat had declined in England 384 per cent.; vats, 16 per cent.; barley, 194 per cent.; butter, 29 per cent.; beef, 12 per cent.; pork, 17% per cent. ; potatoes, 25 per cent.; and wool, 43 per cent.
Many causes have contributed to this de- cline, chief among which are the increased facilities for transportation, low freight rates, and the unexampled productive capacity of the western states of America, and other new | fields in Asia and Australia opened up within 'a generation past. This extravrdinary decline in prices has had a most disastrous etiect upon the farming interests of Great Britein and Treland, and involves the necessity of the re- duction of the rent. It has also been materi- ally injurious to countries like Caneda, which depend upon the British market for the sale of surplus cereal, vegetable and animal pro- ducts.”

Trot at West River, Lot 47.
THe 10th inst. was a day of intense excite- ment among the sporting men of this com- munity. Flyers might be seen in all direc- tions, all of which acquitted themselves well considering the training received. In the three minute race there were three entries, viz: Maud S, owned by William McLean ; Queen, owned by James D. Stewart; King Bird, owned by Ira Kennedy. This race was easily captured by King Bird, Queen taking second place. Then came the go-as-you- please race, which was the most exciting race of the day. The contest was between Ella Kate, cwned by Judson McDonald; Royal Tom, owned by Albert Robertson; Dan, owned by John J. Stewart. In this race Dan took first place, and Ella Kate second? Bad driving accounts for Royal Tom only taking third place. ‘he day’s sport came to a close all feeling satisfied that we had a fair lot of fast horses in our community.

Boston Markets. April 23, 1887.
Porators.—The market for potatoes sus- tains a firm tone, with a good demand, , Eces. ‘The market has ruled firmer, owing to light receipts, but demand is moderate Sales of Western at 124c, and Eastern at l4c per dozen. Some are held higher.
Fisit.—There hrs been a little more de- mand for mackerel and previous asking prices can be more readily obtained, theugh it is difficult to get any advance. Sales of Nova Scotia No | at $14 to $15 per bbl, mostly at $15 50. Extras are held a little higher, but as they are not much better than No | buyers are not willing to pay much over $15. Prime No 2 are scarce and command §13 to $4. Large No 3 are receiving more attention, owing to the absence of new mackerel from the South, and holders are firmer at $8 to $9. The receipts of mackerel for week closing Friday were 149 bbls, of which 199 bbls were from the Provinces. Imports from Provinces since January | foot up 14,335 bbls against 9,676 bbls same time last year.

Is it not singular that consumptives should be the least apprehensive of their own con- dition, while all their friends are urging and beseeching them to be more careful about ex- posure and overdoing. It may well be con- sidered one of the most alarming symptoms of the disease, where the patient is reckless and will not believe that he is in danger. Reader, if you are in this condition, do not neglect the only means of recovery. Avoid exposure anc fatigue, be regular in your habits, and use faithfully of Dr. Pierce's ‘‘Golden Medical Discovery.” It has saved thousands. who were steadily failing. law

Sir John on Mr. turran’s Motion.
Speaking to Mr. Davins’ amendment, Sir ; John said that since the resolution of 1852 had led to a recurrence of the discussion in 1586 and again now, it was almost a pity that the | first resolution had been introduced, but the jresolution of 1882 appeared to him to be not imuch out of place. The point that it was im- proper was notraised by this country. It ‘was the Gladstone government that raised been objection. He did not qnite agree with j this position, but he did regret that these subjects outside the jurisdiction of this House | Were coming up again and again. If the re- jsolution could be of the shghtest benefit to | Ireland he would strain a point to support it, | but the coercion measure had been discussed ‘in the Imperial Parliament and passed by a large majority, and no action here would do any good in Ireland. Bat these discussions were doing great harm to Canada. We ought to keep out of our politics the questions which cause discords. ad he been in the house he would have voted for McCarthy's amendment. He believed the house had the jright to express an opinion on this coercion matter, but he deemed that it would be i:m- proper andunwise to interfere with the sub- jject. These discussions were not calculated \to promote good feeling in Canada. More-
lover, he held it to be in the interests of this ‘country to avoid disagreements with the ln- perial Government. This had been his policy
career. No matter
whether that government was liberal or_ tory
‘he hed found no difference between Imperial parties. At present =the j|home government was stiongly sup-
\porting Canada in the fishery matter, We
desire that the support be continued and | therefore should not with imperfect evidence jin our hands undertake to censure the gov- lernment of Great Britain. In his case no | possible good to any person could come of our interference and much harm to Canada might ‘come of it. Sir Johi spoke at some length | replying to Gigault regarding the rights of ;/ minorities in old haste. He would support | Davin’s amendment expressing regret that it |is considered necessary to adopt coercive measures for Ireland and reflirming the pre- vious affirmations of the house on local self }government with proper safe guards.

Newspapers in i587.
Geo. P. Rowell & Co., of New York, will }issue on Monday, May @nd. the nineteenth ;annual edition of their standard publication, the ‘‘ American Newspaper Directory.”
The new volume contains an exhaustive list \of all Class Publications so admirably ar- ‘ranged that any one of the three thousand ‘papers represented there can be readily re- ferred to, and all important facts concerning it, together with its circulation rating, easily obtained. | ‘Lhe Newspaper Directory will be used prin- ‘cipally by Publishers, Advertisers and Ad- ‘'vertising Agents, but the vast fund of infor- mation it contains makes it valuable to per- sons of almost every trade and profession. As a Gazetteer alone it is well worth the price charged, $5,00, for it tully describes every town in which a newspaper is issued, and few people care to know about any place where one is not.
The number of papers publivhed in the United States, Territories (inciuding Alaska) ‘and Canada is put at 15,420; an increase of 581 in one year.
The growth of newspapers in some of the Western States would be a matte: of wonder, if it were not that this year is no exception to ithe rule. In Kansas the increase is 89 and in | Nebraska 64; while tiie Keystone State shows 'a smaller advance of 35 and the Buckeye State ‘of 30, Pennsylvania exhibits the largest ‘increase in dailies, 17; Kansas in weeklies, 81, and New York in monthlies, 42. Seven States show a decrease ; the most prominent instances being New Hampshire and Virginia, six each. The whole volume sows that great care has been taken to sustain its repu- tation as the most comprehensive work of the kind yet published, and to insure accuracy in ‘every detail. Anything less than a complete jcompendium of American newspapers and |periodicals would surprise those who are |Peanitias with the former efforts of this firm, -who are so well known as the oldest, largest jand best known of all the American adver- 'tising Agencies.

Tne Halifax Chronicle says: An eight-year- old lad named Bates, living at the North end, swallowed a tamarind stone on Thursday, which lodged in his right lung. Several doc- tors were called in, but could give the little sutferer no relief. Jie was finally removed to the hospital, where a difficult and painful operation was performed on Saturday, the wiudpipe being opened and the stone removed from the lung. The child is progressing favor- ably towards recovery.
