To the Editor of the Hxaminer.
Dear Srr,—I am informed by those who read the New Hra that the editor of that pa- per is desirous of having public indignation meetings, held for the purpose of expressing disapproval of Senator Carvell’s appointment. Yo further the matter certain “ confidence men,” itis said, are now at work Sundays as well as week days, trying to get a meeting called in some Grit dacmaniad or other. Mr. Bowers has a right to call a meeting of his friends if he seea fit. His attendance thereat will be expected as a matter of course. He willthen have an opportunity of explaining how it came about that, as Editor of Tur Ex- AMINER, while owned by Mr. Carveli, he was found ready and willing not only to swallow Mr. Carvell, but the ‘‘ wire fence” and “ rail- way rings’ as well. He will also be expected, when brought face to face with the local member for St. Peters to ex. plain away a few little differences of opinion that prevailed in certain quarters not so very long age. The Government has, no doubt, committed a great error. Mr. Bowers should have been promoted t» the Senate instead of- Mr. Carveil. “Lis true he doesn’t reside in King’s County, but then he has claims on that County ; fer did he not (non-resident as he was) unce seek a canstituency in the East, only to be returned to the bosom of his friends. Let me say in conclusion that the great inter- est manifested at present by outsiders is too apparent not te be easily seen through. Their little games won't do. People are too wide awake nowadays to bescared by even the grand army of the disappointed.
Yours &c., CirizEn,

Will Beet Sugar Production Pay?
El ah
To the Editor of the Gazette.
Srr,—I have lately received a number ef letters from farmers and others in various parts of the Dominion, asking if the production of beet-roet sugar will pay. Asthere is much intef@t felt in the sub- ject in the Province of Quebec perhaps you will kindly give space to a fe, remarks on this important question.
There is no doubt but the soil and climate of a great part of these united Provinces are admirably adapted for the cultivation of sugar-beets, and it has been conclusively proved, by the able, prac- tical and accomplished Director of Agricul- ture (Quebec), Mr. E. A. Barnard, that the roots grown in your Province are rich in sugar—equa. to, even surpassing thst of the sugar-beet grown on the Continent of Europe, and it is a well-known fact that few crops are more beneficial to the soil than the beet, as it is not a scourging crop, and stock are fed on the tops and pumace of the pressed roots, thus returning the crop largely to the soil. The sugar fac- tories must also necessarily be in the heart of the beet-growing neighborhood, as the reots are too bulky and tender to transport profitably or safely for any great distance, and this would give a small manufacturing population in each dis- trict suitable for the growth of the beets.
The preduction of beef-root sugar in Continental Europe was only about 140,000 tons in 1852.
In 1869 the production had increased to about 315,000 tons.
In the last season (1868 —69) the produc- tion has increased to the enormous quan- tity of 1,555,000 tons.
But notwithstanding all these facts be- fore me, I haveeome to the conclusion that the preduction of sugar from beets has net yet reached a natural production by our farmers, and clearly the idea that beet sugar is easily and cheaply produced is quite a mistake, and is one that will most certainly sink a large amount of capital in Canada.
The success ef the enterprise would de- pend not only on the skill brought to bear on the manufacture, but on the good will of the Government and farmers. Nothing ought, therefore, to be done in the matter till a clear and proper understanding is come to with the Government and farmers.
The enterprise must ;be exempted from excise fora very long period. The term of ten years fixed by the Dominion Govern- ment expires in 1883. A renewal of this Act for at least ten years from the date of commencing is a sine qua non be- fore any expenditure could be safely in- curred.
The farmezs would have to enter into binding contracts with the sugar manufae- turers to deliver at the factories, each sea- son, @ fixed and sufficient quantity of well- grown beets ata stated price, taking back for their cattle the compressed pulp.
The chief difficulty will be with the farm- ers, but they can be assured that nothing dees so much to improve the agriculture of a country as beet growing, and that it will pay them to do their all important part well ; but they must at the same time be told that nothing but hard work will raise suitable beets for thejmanufacture of sugar. It demands much more attention during its growth than is commonly given to the ‘*Mangel Wurzel,” as it must be kept well freed from weeds and well earthed up, that the root may not appear above the surface, for the heat of the sun is very detrimental to the formation of sugar in the beet.
In conclusion I would say that it is very impertant that the bonus offered by the Quebec Government should only be given te those who-have both the technical know- ledge and the pecuniary means to ensure a fair trial.
Meantime, Yours very truly, Grorcs Gorpon Dunstan. Woodside, Halifax, N. S., Dec. 20th, ’79.

CATARRE.
Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRK,
Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remedy.
—_—_—_——
T. J. B. Harvie, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—
Dear Str—It is now two years since your ‘““Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intre- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to true.”
1 was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘“‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent come to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite clear of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head,
A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,
W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
