Georce E. Furt resumed the debate. Though greatly tempted to regard the question trom a Canadian point of view, he would try to discuss it from the point of view of the Prince Edward Islander. We certainly have « right to speak in this ques- tion, fur our interests in. the fisheries are very valuable, and we should not see them sacrificed without entering a protest. [i we had Commercial Union, a large and profitable trade might be done in buuding small vessels to sell to American fishermen and others, as vessels can be bnilt much cheaper in the Provinces than in the United States. Our shipping is, owing to the advent of steam,a)most totally gone ; and as a consequence the price of oats is sv reduced that oats cannot be raised by our farmers except a positive loss. Oat raising is at any rate ruinous to the land and one of the most unprofitable things to grow for export. But if we must grow some oats, the best place to sell them ia is the neighboring Provinces and a better prize would be

i yous that He had known farwers vio at first thoughs they cvuald not yrow more than an aere of potatues fur the starci: factorivs, who, when they tried tu do sv, found abaniance for several acres, with the result that nothing they grew on the fara prilthea sv weil even at the smal:

prices afordel. It is to be remembered yt indebted to Great Britain for a free mirket—she admits the products of all other natwns to her markets just as freely as she dves ours; but under Com- mercial Union with the States we shouid enjoy free trade with the whole continent, while there would be a 5) per cent. tariff in our favor as against ail the rest of the workl. Great Britain does not show u- any special favor in the matter of trade, and we should do her no wrung if we did nut regard her commercial interests while mak- ing au arrangement for the furtherance of our own. Besides it must be remem- bered that in entering a Commercial Union with the States we should only be taking the first step towards that greater Anglo- Saxou Union which is declared to be the aim and object of the Imperial Federalists of Great Britain.

Hon. Daniet Davies agreed with Mr. Full as to the unprotitableness of growing oats. But wheat isan uncertain crop in this Province? As to potatoes, our far- mers could not very well grow more on the average than four acres per year. Tv obtain more manure and also larger re- turns, farmers would, in his opinion, do well if they stall fed two or three head of cattle in each year. No doubt if the Americans could only be induced to take the 100 per cent. duty off potatoes it would be the making of this Province. The pev- ple of the States do not care a snap for our cod and hake and herring fisheries; what they want is bait and mackerel; and in these lie the factors which make fora renewal of reciprocity of trade. Commer- cial Union would, in his opinion, bea splendid thing for our farmers and the public generally ; and in return for it, he thought, the Americans might be accorded the right to fish freely in our waters. The Maritime Provinces cannot sell to any great extent inthe markets of the Upper Provinces—we have to seek markets for almost all our surplus produce elsewhere ; and he did not see how the Dominion could hold together for any great length of time. The old sentiment of loyalty is dying out.

Joun Newson discussed the question from a manufacturer's point of view. It is true, he said, that this Province itself is not likely to become great in manufactures; but he saw no reason why Nova Scotia and New Brunswick should not, with their wealth of mines, develop great manufactur- ing centres similar to those of the old country. Under present conditions, capi- tal is fast seeking investment in the Do- minion ; capitalists are, it is said, even now speculating witha view to import- ant additions tothe iron works of Nova Scotia; and at no very distant day the neighboring Provinces will, under present conditions, contain large manufacturing populations. The Island is the nearest and__—i the natural svurce of sup- plies for these Provinces; and if they grow great and wealthy supplying the rest of the Dominion with goods manafactured out of the raw materials which they possess in abun lance, it follows that the farmers of this Province will have in them a. steady market—a mirket at their doors-~in which they will have an advantage over all competitors. It is said that we can send nothing to the Upper Provinces ; but if Nova Sovtia and New Bruuswick supply the Upper Provinces with articles of mMnutaccure, and we supply Nova Scotia

thit we are o

required by their manuf teturing populations —we realiy, though indirectly, export to the Upper Provinces. We should remember that the [ nited States eaunot be counted on A$ regular customers, © such ag our sister Provineas will be when more fully develup-

produce in abundance almost everything that we produce. The farmers of the Western States are rapidly increasing, and they are going more and more into mixed farming. They donot want our oats, nor our pork, nur our beef. They are going into horse raising to such an extent that

horses can be purchased there at for $80 to $85 per head, and it is only in years (such as the

present) when there is a failure of their potaty crop that we can hope to compete with them the, markets of the Eastern States. Suppose we go into this proposed Commercial Union and allow our growing manufactures in the sister Provinces te be nipped in the bud by the Americans, who will dump their surp!us goods at our duors, what will be our condition at the end of the term of the Union? We shall either have to go in fer Annexation or else remain out in a ruined ‘state. Go into Commercial Union, and from 65,000 to 80,000 artisans in Canada will depart for the States taking their families with them. Look at the amount of wages now earned in Canada every year. ‘Suppose every artisan earns only a doliar # day; muitiply eighty thou- sand by the number of days in the year and you will have some idea ot the wages paid, and of the mioney cireulated among the people who produce the necessaries of life, which these artisans and their families must have. And as the manufactures of Canada are developed, the wages paid must, of

course, iicrease proportionally. What has made Great Britaim great, if not her manufacturing industries ? But if we enter to the propos

ed union thousands of our young men and vld men toc, will go over to the States. We shall become dependent upon the States for our manufactured goods ; and what shall we do at the end of the term /

Mr. Fut. —Make another agreement !

Mr. Newson pointed out that at present we are independent and can stand alone ; and said he would rather remain as we are than run the risks invuived in Commercia: Union.

DonaLp Farquurson, M. P. P., argued that as the Uniied states coulo furnish u with cheaper and better goods than we cau obtain in Canada, it would be better fur us io deal with the States than with Canada. He contended that Commercial Union could not result in anything but good for Prince Edward Island; and that a reciprocity trea y sah as the old one couli not be obtained. In Com- mercial Union we should have a share in “0 the property of the Great Republic on equal terins.

Arcap. McNeimi remarked that the Awericans would not probably send us any more wooden cheese, as, thanks to the encouragemeat which had been given, cheese factories had been established in Cinada in which the best cheese in the world are made. In his opinion, Canada. if jet alone, would ere long be able tu com- pete with the United States in almost every other branch of industry andtrade. Unde Com nercial Unien the Americans would absorb our ficheries and many of our infant manufactures. Some of the States are not so very presperous that we need envy them. In many of them, large numbers of farmers were compelled to borrow money on mortgage at much higher rates of inter- est than are paid here. He contended that the Americans pay most of the duty which they levy upon our potatoes. This year, thousands of barrels of apples are shipped from Annapolis direct to Great Britain ; the consequence is that we are obtaining part of our supply of apples fromthe States, and that prices have advanced in propor- tion to the duty levied. So it is in respect to the potatues which the United States import. Our gold, silver and coal mines are now being develuped east and west, and he thought we should not sell the great heritage we possess in half the continent for the sake of a free market for our pota- toes, etc. Be agreed with the Hon. Mr. Cartwright that we should *‘ keep a stiff upper lip,” and obtain such a measure of reciprocity of trade with the United States as would suit the interests of Canada un the best terms we can.

_ D. McKenzie said he did not think that sentiment armouated to much unless it was backed up by cur commercial and financial: interests. In questions of this kind the people would be largely guided by their pockets. Had those in favor of Commercial Union with our neighbors shown that we would be gainers by such Union? He thought they had net. They seemed to slur over mrtters of grave objection to the scheme by calling them matters of detail. Mr. Full, in his opening speech, advised the farmers to go into potato growing altogether, and give up pork breeding, as that did not pay. This would not be done as a certain amount of barnyard manure was necessary to raise potatoes. The mud out of our rivers was not suitable for rais- ing potatoes of the best quality. It was almost invariably the case that the farmers who tovk good hogs and good cattle to market were well off, while those who depended on potatves and oats to make money wére poor. ¢ It seemed clear from all thé infor:wation%#e had that Commercial Union wouldgruin Our pork and beef trade, as the Antleicéms, although they had to pay $2 duty a barrel, competed with us in our own taarkets. It seemed to be useless to expect high prices in these times for agricultural products. They had come down everywhere. During the old Reciprocity Lreaty the Western States were almost altogether devoted to growing wheat and worn, as the price of these was high. But of late years, since the fall in price of wheat, they have gone more into inixed farminy,and now send their potatoes

south, and pork and beef to compete with )

us in the east. It should be borne in mind that if we gv into Commercial Union a very large ;amount of revenue will have to be made up’ by direct taxation. As we would have ‘o cut off the source upon which we derive a large proportion of vurrevenue. In fact the Federal Government would practically baveto cut off the subsidies from the Provinees, and they in tura would have to put‘on direct taxation to keep up our rouds, bridges, and public schools. In fact there would have to be « revolution in our whole system of government. It was said agricultural implements would be a

great deal cheaper than they are now. He! did not believe that would be the case in;

his own knowledge of that trade that these

| implements were sold cheaper here than in

any other country in the world. He indig- |

would be e beneit. gad ke dal mt

see why the Americans would not grant it

It was not shown that such a treaty would be an injury to them. He. thought it a great mistake for public bodies and public men to make statements which were tanta- mount to saying that the Americans would be fools to give us Reciprocity. Such statements were calculated to injure our case before the Commission now sitting.

Georce Mac .eop (Bank of Nova Scotia) argued that Commercial Union would at once result in a very great increase in the carrying trade, and that vessels instead of coming here to load in ballast, would bring say half cargoes, which would help to pay the cost of their trips, and so enable them to carry away our products at very much reduced rates of freight. In the export of potatoes, for instance, we should probably obtain an advantage to the extent of five cents a bushel, which would amount to about $300,000 a year. He scouted the idea that our manufactures—such of them as ought to be maintained —could not com- pete with those of the States, citing the opinions of Alexander Gibson and others who have large means invested in Canadian manufactures, and yet are enthusiastically in favor of Commercial Union,—and con- tended that the farmers of the Western States could not compete advantageously with us in the markets of New York and Boston, if only the duties were removed, With the Upper Provinces of Canada we cannot have a mutual trade. vessels come down to us full; and go back eupty. But we can have a mutually advantageous trade with the United States. As the hour was late, Mr. Macleod moved the adjournment ot the debate.

GorGe PEake stated that the steamers of the Black Diamond Line always go back to Montreal with full cargoes of coal, and not empty as Mr. McLeod had stated.

Ilon. L. C. Owen pointed out that one vessel wou'd bring here of the goods we import as much in value as twenty vessels could take away of the raw pr duce of our farms, and that Mr. McLeod’s idea about obtaining return freights under Commer- cial Union was not correct.

Hon. DonaLp Ferevson referred to the lifficulty of obtaining manure for the growth of large quantities of potatoes, which Mr. Full had not met, and asked if it were not reasonable to conclude that if we sent some eight millions of bushels of potatoes into the United States market the price would come down ¢

The Board adjourned to meet on Friday eveningnext, when the debate will be con- cluded.

The Concert Last Evening.

THE concert last night inthe Y. M. C. A. Hall was very successful. A very good audience assembled and the Hall was pack- ed to overflowing. In fact as many attend- ed asat the free concert when the Class was instituted. The chorus singing was ex- cellent, time good, expression effective, and tune power clear and rich. In the choruses simple music, of course, was only attempted ; but simple music well rendered is always pleasing. ‘The solos and duets were very well sung, The Whip-pvor-will solo and chorus was very affectively performed, and was about the best namber on the pro- gramme. Miss Earle’s voice evidently has very much improved. It sounded beauti- fully in this solo; and the richness of tone im the chorus accompaniment was very fine It is surprising how so large a class of varied voices cuuld be trained to such per- fection in rhythm, pronunciation and harmony in so short a time, and we must congratulate the instructors on their suc- cessful methods of imparting musical know- ledge, and the performers on possessing so imuch natural musical taste and feeling.

We have no hesitation in saying that during the last week a thoroughly good work has been done in Charlottetown in increasing the love of the peuple for music. [his art, of all others, isthe one most capable of infusing an element of joyous- ness into the natures of our people, and it should be thoroughly cultivated and taught in all our public schools.

We should like to see the present class of voices develop into a really good Philhar- monic Suciety. Cannot sume of our local musicians take up the work and continne what has been so well begun.

Mr. Harrington deserves the thanks of the citizens for what he has done. His American tact and unique system ef devel- oping his business on the foundation of a free Concert, is admirable and amusing in its simplicity, and the thoroughness of his system of teaching deserves praise. We hope he will be successful in whatever town he next points his guns against.

St. James all.

Tue Young Mens’ Literary Society in con- neclén with St. James Church have made an arrangement for a series of lectures and concerts tu be given in St. James Hall dur- ing the coming winter. This is a timely and excellent move—one which our people will no doubt appreciate. The programme is as follows : —

Dec. 13— Rev. Eph. Scott, A. M.-;\ sub- ject : ‘The False Prophet Mohomet.”

Dec. 27—Dr. James MoLeod ; subject : ‘*The Evolution of Medicine.”

Jan. 17—Mr. H. Macdonald ; subject : ‘** Louisburg to Quebec.”

Jan. 31—Mr. W. S. Stewart ; subject: **A Winter in Florida.”

Feb. 14—-Concert and Readings.

Feb. 28—Mr. Malevlm McLeod ; subject to be announced.

March 13—Rev. James Carruthers ; sub-

ject: ‘‘Some Shakespearian Characters.” March 27—Concert and Reading. Those among us who attended the course of lectures given under the auspices of this society last year, will, we feel assured, be among the first to secure seasun tickets. Those who did not attend missed many rich treats, to make up for which they should be present at each and every one of the lectures and concerts on the programme of the present season.

NOTES AND COMMENTS, What “Percy” Hears, Sces and i.cads About Daily.

The holy and joyous season of Christmas isat hand. To those of us who have com- fortable homes, pleniy to eat and drink and wear, the season is invariably one of rejoicing. The shop windows and show- cases ure just now a mass of good things, and each and every one of us is busily en- gaged thinking about what he or she shall give his orher friend, Our thoughts are busy thinking what we can obtaip for our friends that will be new and novel; yet not too expensive. While the young man is puzzling himself as to what he shall get for his ** best girl,” and the afuresaid ** best girl” is busy with deft fingers orpamenting a pair of slippers for her young man, or flying through dainty silks and wools fash- ioning pretty tidies and other knick-knacks, let us not lose sight of the fact that all are not so happy as we@#Mthat many among us live in wretched hevels through whose chinks the winds go whistling at the rate of almost a mile a minute, whose fires are out for the want of fuel, with clothing just

ing hardiy enough food in the house to last them over the night. Yes, let us all look at these things in the proper light, and I have no doubt but that the poor will not be neglected.

There are several charitable societies in Charlottetown, through which the poor éan be helped ; that is, if the donor has not the time to seek out the persons whom he desires to benefit. Any of these insti- tutions will gladly handle what you have to offer, be it ever sv little, with as great care as you would yourself, All that is neces- sary for you to dois to make your inten- tions known to the good peuple, ladies and gentlemen alike, who officer these societies. The ladies who have second-hand clothing to give away can hand in their contribu- tions to any of the several aid societies in our midst, and may re!y upon their offerings being honestly and intelligently disposed of. The young or old man similarly dis- posed can dv likewise. The man of means can go to his grocer, his butcher, his coal dealer, his dry goods merchant, and order something sent down to poor old Mrs. So- and-So, or old Mr. What’s-His-Name, which will gladden the heart of the reci- pient, who, in nine cases out of ten, has seen better days, and will pave the way to Heaven for the donor, for we know that ** Charity covereth a multitude of sins.”

The early death, in the midst of a career of usefulness, of the Rev. Dr. Grant, the talented and respected Roman Catholic clergyman, is deeply regretted by all who knew him. As an old schoolmate of his, I may perhaps, be pardoned for mingling my grief with that of those to whom he was near and dear. Asa boy he gave promise of future greatness ; and I have no doubt that had his life been spared, and his hea!th remained good, he would have attained to a foremost place among the many lights of the Catholic Church. The energy and perseverance which he displayed in striving to attain the object of his ambition is eVidenced by the fact that when but

piiest, and sent out to preach the Gospel of ** Christ ‘and Him crucified.” But his great life object had been attained at the expense of his health, which soon failed him and necessitated his premature retire- ment from active work. He bore the trying ordeal like a faithful servant of the Cross, all the while duing whatever lay in his power to further the cause of that Supreme Being to whose service he had consecrated his lite. But at leugth the tinal summons came, and found him ready. He has gone from ainongst us, ‘but his works do follow him.” +_*

There is some little excitement in Eng- land just now vovera young woman who recently arrived there, and who claims to be a daughter of Queen Victoria. Her story is a remarkable one, but whether or not it will hold water remains to be secn. The young woman is said tv resemble the Queen very much. Her story is that the Queen exchanged babies vith the Countess Reuss, with whom Prince Albert is said tu have contraeted a morganatic union before his marriage with Her Majesty. ‘To ap- pease the Countess, the Queen, so the absurd story goes, in exchanging infants, undertovk thatthe one belonging to the Countess should be brought up asan Eng-

lish Princess.

We all remember the excitement over the celebrated Siamese twins some years ago. And now it appears we are to be treated to a sensation of a somewhat similar nature. At Birmingham, Eng., a week or two ago, awoman named Freeman, the wife of « poor workingman, gave birth to twin boys, joined together in a most re- markable manner. They are perfectly formed im every respect, except that their stomachs are connected to such an extent that it is impossible to separate the depth of flesh without causing instant death. Both infants were born alive, and at last accounts were doing well ; but it is thought they cannot be reared.

+,* The saying that ‘‘ nothing teaches like experience,” is very forcibly illustrated in the case of aman about whom | was read- ing afew days ago. This man, if my memory serves me, lived somewhere in Maine. He had allowed his wife to bring water from the well for upwards of ten years ; but when he needed a little water daily for his business, he at once had a pipe laid and a pump put in to savé extra work / It is pretty much the same with all of us. Everything depends upon whose ox is gored. + * There are some old women who are good for nothing but io sit in the corner and growl.

‘Tan ed. the lady readers of Tuk Examiner that the latest and most approved thing for the bridesmaids to do is tu enter the Church and attend the bride, carrying shoes filled with fowers. At Sir Robert Peel’s daugh- ter’s wedding, which took place recently, the shees were of pink satin filled with

‘pink roses, and hung trom the arm by pink ribbons. This mode of praceedure is ex- ceedingly pretty, but it comes a little high. Who will be the first among us to adopt it ?

A few years ago a pious church member ‘in one of the Western States arose at an ‘experience meeting and gave a review of ‘his life. When he came to the declaration, i I thank God that I owe no man anything,” ‘a quiet man in a remote corner jumped up jand said: ** 1 have a little account against ‘you, brother, that you must have for- ‘gotten.” ‘‘Ah, brother C.,” said the | speak <r, unctiously, *‘that debt was outlawed 'a good while ago.” How many such pious

frauds have we right here in -Charlotte-_

‘town? Ihave in my: mind’s eye at the present writing 4 case alinost identical with that recited above, which occurred in this very city; but as this is the season of ‘Peace on earth, good will towards men,” I must decline relating the story atpresent. Perhaps on some fature Gveasior!’ Fo may give imy readers the we: efit of it. a +

The Episcopal clergymen of New York are. moving in the matter of fugeral and burial reform. In New York as well as in Canada and even in litrle Prince Edward Island, there is much need of reform in this direction. Funerals and their attend- ant ceremonies’ could, to my mind, be carried out ina much cheaper way than at present, and without detracting anything trom the respect entertained for the dear departed. The plan proposed by the New York clergymen, at a meeting over -which Bishop. Potter presided, is to furm an association, which would purchase a tract of ground for a cemetery, and bury all its dead there, supplying grave, coffin, hearse, carriages and all other necessaries ata merely nominal cost. It is further pro- posed to discourage the practice of building costly mausoleums and monuments in cemeteries. The use of tombs in every form, it is held by the association, should be done away with. The body should be put in a coffin of some light perishable material, like wicker work or papier machie, so that it may the sooner be dissolved into dust. The association has not yet been formed. There is no doubt much uphill work for its promoters, as the men who are behind the cemeteries, and are making money out of them, will in all probability oppose the scheme tooth and nail.

In the course of my reading 1 have come across some queer things ; but perhaps one of the queerest is the love-letter written to Eliza Hlliot, a female captain in that por- tion of the Salvation Army stationed at Heanor, Derbyshire, Eng. Here is the letter in its entirety :—

“ Dear CapTain,—I just write to ask you a favor. I want to know if yoa will marry me, as I have taken a fancy to you. If you don’t agree with my favor it will be worse for you. "P cither mean to marry you or murder you, so you can order your coffin at once. | know 1] shall have to be hanged for it, but I don’t want to go to hell by myself; 1 want you to go with me. Prepare to meet your God. From your comrade,

** Harry Hovsevey.”

Harry didn't succeed in getting the Cap- tain to wed ; but instead fell into the hands of the authorities who bound him over to keep the peace.
