FEBRUARY 18, 1889. Our Oat Market.
Tar chief market for oats produced by the farmers of Prince Edward Island has, in recent years, been found in the neigh- boring Provinces of Canada. There has been no demand, nv remunerative price, In the markets of Great Britain. In the United States, prices have ruled as low as they have ruled here—so that, duty and freight apart-—we have been unable to send an oat into that market. But for the de- mand, the increasing demand, in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec, we should have had, practically, no export trade Ih O&@.8
It is now proposed to put corn on the free list, thus admitting United States corn into free competition with our oats, and supply. ing, to some extent, the demand which is now supplied by our farmers.
The proposal has been combatted Hon. Messrs. Ferguson, Lefurgey, Arsen- ault and Macdonald. It appears that in the course of an interview with our re-
by
presentatives in the House of Commons, they argued that ‘‘if the duties were re- moved it would injure the market for Island oats and other produce.” That there is something in this contention 1s shown by the attitude of Mr. Wood, of Westmoreland, who, although a supporter of the National Policy, favors the removal of the duty on corn, on the ground, no doubt. that the New Brunswick !umberers, winers, etc., will, as «a result, obiain a cheaper food for their horses.
But our representatives (ur mis-represen- tatives) are not disposed to stand out for the retention of the advantages now pos- sessed by our farmers in the markets of the
neighboring Provinces.

CHRIST CHURCH, CHERRY
VALLEY.
LECTURE AT
Tue Rev. Fred. E. J. Lloyd, Rector, delivered the first of a course of lectures upon English Church History, in the above church on the evening of Thursday last. A large amount of interest having been arous- ed by the contemplated lectures the sacred edifice was filled by a most attentive and appreciative people. The “Old Hund- and a collect
redth” having been sung
said the lecturer set himself to the task he a > , oer
had to perform. The subject was ‘* The
Early British Church.”
He combated the assertions so frequent- ly made that the Church of England was formed at the Reformation, and owned her origin to the sinful whims and caprice of Henry VILL, by showing that there were Christians in Britain at a very early period whom, Clandia, the daughter of Caractacus, and grand-daughter of the famous Druid Bran, who afterward, on becoming converted, was known as ‘“* the Blessed,” was mentioned by St. Paul in his second epistle to Timothy. Also that most historians of repute are pretty wellagreed that British Christianity was a product of the preaching and labors of the Apostle of the Gentiles himself. In supporting this theory Mr. Lloyd referred to the fact that in_ the journeyings of St. Paul there is a long period of eight years in which we are told but little of them: but St. Clement, the historian, and others beside him, relate that he went tothe ‘* Boundar- ies of the West,” and Tertullian, writing in A.D. 193, says: ** From whom else have all the nations believed in Christ? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, all the coasts of Spain, the various nations of Gaul, and the parts inaceessible to the Romans, but now subject tu Christ, —the words in italics alluding to Britain. Again, there are numerous tra- ditions existing in various parts of England and Wales relating to the presence therein St. Paul. With regard to the establish- nent of Bishopries aud general church or-
one of
t I ganization, Mr. Lloyd said: ‘After the in- V
rasion of Julius Caesar the Island of Britain was opened to intercourse wath the rest of

Bus they are, nevertheless, (if Messrs.

ur representatives when in Ottawa are tov high and mighty to look at a matter from a ‘‘mere sectional standpoint,’’—even though that standpoint be the standpoint of the farmers of Prince Edward Island ; and they think it ‘‘absurd”’ to suppose that winers and lumbermen will ever think of giving their horses a feed of oats and a feed of corn, instead of two feeds of cats. But theicsouls are full of pity for the poor tishermen who will starve—no doubt—if the du'y b> not taken off corn pancakes !
The question, then, resolves itself to thie: Shall the farmers of this Province— shut out of the markets of the United States—have to contend against the free competition of corn producers in the United States, aud see the prices of oats kept down, in order that our fishermen may en- joy the luxury of corn cakes, free of duty ?
Our representatives in the House of Commons say thatthey shall! What say

Breakwater at Summerside.
Just before the meeting of Parliament, Senator Carvell interviewed the Minister of Public Works in the interest of the Com- missioners for the Summerside Breakwater.

The lecture lasted an hour, but the at- tention of the large congregation, many of whom had come from Orwell and Vernon River, never flagged for an instant.
It is hoped that three other lectures will be delivered shortly by the Rev. J. Simp- son, His Worship Mayor Haviland, and E. J. Hodgson, Esq., Q. C.

Lecture and Entertainment at Emerald.
On the evening of the 8th inst. a large and appreciave audience assembled at Emerald Hall to hear the lecture delivered by Mr. J. Heber Haslam on ‘‘ Success.” This being Mr. Haslam’s first appearance on the lecture platform the great majority, in fact the whole audience, were agreeably surprised to find that he treated his subject so ably, and in the most charming language, from various stand points. At the outset he explained what he meant by the word ‘ Success.” He did not propose to confine himself to any particular vocation in life, but would discuss it inthe broadest sense of the word. .His remarks, he said, would be directed chiefly to the young men. He spoke very hopefully of ** this Canada of ours.” He was of opinion that our young men had equal if not superior opportunities of becoming successful to the young men of any other country on the Continent. He gave a graphic and intelligent discourse from beginning to end, and proved con-

water, as marked on Bayfield’s chart. The Minister, on the repoat of the Chihf En- giveer, pronounced against the work on the site asked for, viz., on the east” side, but appeared to favor one on the west side of the lightheuse. A new petition and plan were then sent up asking for a breakwater on the west side. To-day, Mr. Richard Hunt received a telegram from Senator Carvell, as follows : Orrawa, Feb. 18, 1889.
Minister has “given order for a survey and estimate for breakwater, and speaks encourag- ingly.
J. S. CaRvELL.
lt is pleasing to learn that Senator Car- vell’s representations have been so far suc- cessful, We hope that this much needed improvement to Summerside Harbor will,
ere lony, be constructed.
The world-wide reputation of Ayer’s Sarsa- parills is the natural result of its surpassing value as a bloo? medicine. Nothing, in the whole pharnacopel, effecis more astouishing 1 ‘sults, in Scrofula, rheumatisw. general de- p wag h and atl forms @f Wtued disease, than
business and ordinary judgment. The education he referred to did not consist entirely of school learning, but education in its most hberal meaning. He very much regretted that many people failed in reach- ing the so much desired summit of success, but he said the fault in the majority of cases was all their own. The lecture took upwards of an hour in its delivery, and it was « success indeed, and was listened to throughout with great attention. A vote of thanks was proposed by Mr. Peter Duffy, seconded by Mr. William Doyle and carried unanimously, to which Mr. Haslam made a suitable reply.
tev. Dr. Doyle, who presided on the oceasion, addressed those present. He reviewed the ‘lecture at considerable length, and spoke of it in the’ most eulogistic terms. He said he was pleased tobe present to listen to a discourse that elicited so much sound advice to the young men of this country, and he hoped those present would profit by what they had heard.
After the lecture there was a Very nice entertainment which consisted of singing, recitations and instrumental music. Miss
+ Emma Haslam, of Springtield, presided at the orgen,and it je, perhaps, reedicss to Bay
fully sustained her reputation. Space will not permit of our making special mention of all who took part in the entertainmen!. Suffice it to say that all did their parts well, and that a most enjoyable night was spent. A vote of thanks was tendered the Springfield choir and all others who as- sisted in the entertainment. ‘The nights proceedings were brought to a close by singing ** God save the Queen.”

The Summerside Carnival.
Sir,-—I see in the local columna of the Patriot that there is to be a special train to Summerside to take the Artillery Band up to the Carnival on the 27th inst. I beg leave, through your columns, to impress upon the Summerside committee the neces- sity of advertising the thing properly, so as to give us in Charlottetown who intend go- ing up to this carnival an inkling of how we're going to do sou. We want to know at what time the special ‘will start, also at what time she will leave for home. (And here I would suggest that she leaves Sum- merside as soon after the carnival as pos- sible —say eleven o'clock, sharp). And also what the fare is tu be. If they don’t do this, none of our Charlottetown skaters will go up, and | think that they generally help pretty largely to grace the scene.
Yours truly,

The Rev. B. Chappell writes to the /fes- leyan: Permit me space to acknowledge, with many thanks, the receipt of a nice warm fur coat from the Campbelton congregation. In it, one may laugh at the gentle zephyrs of the Restigouche and the Bay Chaleur. Lord Ashburnham, now a prominent figure | in English polities, is an interesting figure, politically and socially. He is as consistent an advocate of home rule as Mr. Parnell. He
sationalist, with a fluent knowledge ot Freuch, ' German, Italian and Spanish, and besides, he is well versed in American literature. His
figure is slight, his voice very agreeable, with | its ultra-Eoglish accent, softened by the in-| fluences of other languages with which he is | acquainted.
The Ithaca, N. Y. Daily Journal, of the 6th , inst., says: ** Dr. Schurman has accepted the} invitation cf the authorities of Wellsley | oration. Wellsley does not tolerate the orat- ment stage, but instead, secures some gifted | erator who is is in touch with advanced ed- | ucational ideas and ideals. President Gilman | of Johns-Hopkins, Dean Murray of Princeton, and Congressman Breckinride of Kentucky, have each preceded Dr. Schurman. Miss Harrison, the English Jady who was competing for a professorship in University College, London, has failed to reach the goal of her desires. The new Professor of Arch- eology is Mr. R. 5. Poole, formerly an offi- cial of the British Museum and a numisma- tologist of reputation. It is not contended that the question of sex was a determining factor in the result, but, no doubt, if the am- bition of successful, intellectual women leads them to university chairs there will bea warm controversy on this aspect of the competition between the sexes.

Mayor Mce- Kenzie submitted a report showing a surplus for last year in the town government of up- wards of $1,000. Councillor Welsh gave a detailed statement showing a dificit for the past year of about the same amount. A pas: sage at arms occurred between these two. Nothing was done towards finding out which statement was correct. The meeting then voted $30,000 estimates for the current year ; $16,000 was also voted for sewer extension. It was decided to pave Main street and it was resolved to ask the legislature for power to issue debentures for $25,000 for that pur- pose. The question of a public park was post- poned.
