The Sugar Question

Tae United States have, by their pro, tective tariff, succeeded in transferring the manufacture of the sugar used by the United Britain and Europe to their own country. Having ac- complished this purpose, they lately used their sugar duties as a lever by » hich to induce the sugar-producing islands to ad mit ftheir products, in flour and many other products free of duty ; and the y now enjoy the privilege of using sugar—which is imported in the raw state free of duty—at a considerable reduction in price, though the sugsr combine stil! prevails.

Now, the question is whether Canada would or should follow their ex- Discussing this question, the Mon-

ample. treal Gazette says :

“If the people of Canada want their sugar as cheap as in the United States there is no serious difficulty in the way of their being satisfied. The Finance Minister has merely to imitate the McKinley billin a few parti- culars, striking all duty from raw sugars and making good the loss of revenue thus caused by higher imposts on liquors, luxaries, aud thése articles susceptible of successful pro- duction in Canada, which have not as yet been adequately fostered. That is the scheme of the American tariff, which Liberal poli- ticians find so much reason to extol, and its adoption in ‘this country would quickly remove the descrepancy in the prices of sugar in Canada and the United States with- outin any degree imperilling the refining indastry. The Government will find it good politics to put the raw material of refined sugar on the free list, otherwise smuggling will be carried on in increasing extent, the revenue and the refiner alike will suffer, and these fortunate people who live along the frontier will sweeten theic tea with five cents a pound sagar.”

One of the valuable qualities of our I|s- land soil is that it will yield crops with working than heavier soils. But for the sults it must be thoroughly ematically cultivated. A tilled condition of the soil prevents free extension of roots in search of their proper nourishment; obstructs the circu- lation of water which ought to carry food

to the plants; excludes the air which is the active agent in producing those chem- ical changes which elaborate plant food: it obstructs oxidation and nitrifaction, with- out which no plant food can be prepared. Thus a compact condition of the soil ob- structs or prevents all those operations on which the life and growth of a plant de- Thorough tillage pulverizes and opens up the soil so as to admit of the free circulation of air and water through it and thus elaborates in the most perfect manner the plant food which it contains, and also admits of its easy transportation to the roots of the plants, thus supplying the conditions most favorable to rapid and perfect plant growth.

Now is the time to prepare ths svil, bs- fore the farmer puts in the seed. Let the work be done thoroughly and efiiciently. Remember nothing can make amends fer neglect now. A stunted, ill-nourished crop, liable to be utterly ruined by a season of drouth, will be the result of neglect to thoroughly work the land. Your labor, your manure, your capital wlll be to a gteat extent sacrificed for the want of a little work at the right time, Re- member that land cannot be properly worked while it is wet. The plow is the most efficient implement with which to pulverize the soil. The modern gang plows are far ahead -of the old fashioned cultivators. The spring-tooth is the most effective harrow for reducing sod or other rough land. Use the roller on cloddy land. Finish your grain fields with a fine tooth harrow and always roll immediately after sowing. It will hastenthe germination of the seed. But first work thoroughly. Re-

duce every inch. Make all as mellow asa warden.

—It would appear to be a little early yet to judge of what this year’s crop in the United States will be, but Jay Gould does not seem to think so. In an interview a few days ago in Chicago he is reported to have said :

“I have uever seen so promising an out- look for crops as on this trip. My last order before leaving Omaha was to have every

gine and car on the Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific systems ready for service by — Ist, as from that time on these two roads will have more than they can do to handle the traflic which will be offered.

Charlottetown Athletic Association | et !

A LARGE and influential meeting of young men, and not a few of whom might be con- sidered ** up in years,” met in the Stipen- diary Magistrate's Courtroom last evening for the purpose of receiving the report of the Committee appointed at a recent meet- ing of the Hockey Club, to obtain some information as to the forming of an Athletic Association. Mr. Lewis Carvell was. appoioted Chairman, and Mr, A. H. McNeill Secretary.

Dr. H. D. Johnson, from the appointed, submitted a report to the meeting, which showed that an Athletic As- sociation could be atarted m Charlottetown on a solid basis for $900, viz.: Rent of building, one year, $150; instructor, four months, $200; janitor, one year, $300 ; gymnasium fixings and lighting, $250.

After some little discussion, which was participated in by Lieut.-Col. Irving, A. Horace ‘ Haezard, Albert

i rartlett, H. MeNeill, Joseph McUarey and there it was decided to fourm an Athletic

Association, to be known as the Charlotte- town Athletic Association. Some twenty- one of those present subscribed their names as members of the Association.

Messrs. J. B. Dawson, A. S. Urquhart, George Rogers, A. H. McNeill and Dr. H. D. Johnson were appointed a Committee to draft by-laws and submit them to a meet- iag of the Association to be held next Tues- day night. Messrs. Johnstone and Dawson were also appointed a committee to draw up a prospectus and submit it to the same meeting.

The Association propose not to commence active work until they have a membership of at least 125, and we think that this num- ber should be very easily obtained, as our young men would derive untold benefits from such an Association. It was pleasing to see such influential gentlemen as Messrs. Lewis Carvell, John Maceachern, Lieut.- Col. Irving, A. A. Bartlett and Horace Haszard taking such a lively interest in the proceedings.

We would very much like to see such an Assoeiation as the one formed last night live and prosper in Charlottetown, and feel satisfied that if the promotersof the affair work hard and in earnest its success is as- sured,

Carter’s Seedstore. 4 WELL-REGULATED ESTABLISHMENT. Tue ExaMINner’s reporter was yesterday shown over the premises of Messrs, Geo. Carter & Co., the well-known seedsmen. The premises are extensive, occupy- ing three floursand the basementof one ofthe iarge stores in the Monaghan building on Queen Street, and a large warehouse in the rea. The retail branch of the business is on che first floor. Hereevery conceivable kind of seed is kept, and heretvo the ar- rangement and sortation is so complete that the purchaser of any quantity or kind of tarm or garden seed can get just what seel he wants and the quantity desired at a moment's notice, no matter how he wants it, whether by the packet, ounce, quarter pound, pound, pint or quart. All thesmall seeds are arranged in cabinets, carefully labelled in alphabetical order, to corres- pond with the arrangement in the firm’s Seed Catalogue, which is, so to speak, the index of the business; and the root seeds, such as turnip, mangel, carrot, beet, parsnip, etc., also beans and peas, are put up in cardboards boxes neatly labelled and priced. The packing room is on the second floor. Here the seeds are carefully tested before being placed on the market; and here, too, all the packages are filled, labelled and packed. The box used for testing the seed is an ingenious contrivance, and is, we be- lieve, the only one of the kind in use in the Dominion to-day, The third floor is used asa storeroom. The large warehouse in the rear is used as a storehouse for seed wheat, clover, timothy, vetches, white and black vats, etc., in which the firm does an immense Lu-iness. The firm have for years past been importing from Carter & Co, Seedsmen to the Queen, and their importa- tions have turned out satisfactorily. They believe that it is better to obtain the best quality of seeds, and sell at a reason- able price, than to handle an inferior article at alow rate. Hence the great satisfaction they are giving and the steady and con- stantly-increasing trade they are develop- ing.

77? Notes and Comments.

— Judging by the tune of their oryan, the Grits do not appreciate the election petitions which have recently been fyled as they did those against Sir John Macdon- ald and his supporters in Parliament. It makes all the difference in the world whose ox is gored,

—Major General Herbert, when inter- viewed at Kingston a few days ago, had the following to say about Canadian military affairs: With regard to the Canadian militia as a body, | consider that it is made up of fine material. The men and officers alike appear to be full of zeal and soldierly apirit, and although my acquaintance with it has so far been limited to city corps, I have no doubt that the rural battalions will not detract in any way from my opinions as at present formed. The rural forces, I think, should go into camp yearly instead of once every two years, while all the vol- unteer corps would be benetitted by more constant drill, especially as regards such field movements as skirmishing, the attack, ete.

New Range Lights.

A representative of Tar IxaMiner viait- the workshop of the Marine Department, Peake’s No 1 Wharf, yesterday afternoon ior the purpose of having 2 look at the two new range lights for Darnley Point, refer- ence to which was made in our Ottawa de- | spatches a short time ago. Mr. Milton Welsh, who is in charge of the shop, which, by the way, is very neatly and cleanly kept, showed the scribe the lights and ex- plained how they were constructed and how they were operated. The lanterns were designed and made by Mr. Welsh himself at the request of the Department, and the The Department furnished the reflectors, which are of copper, silver-plated. The lanterns _ andtheinsidelampareof brass, Thelanterns | are eighteen inches square, by two feet six inches high. The Columbia burner, with | two-inch wick, is used. The color of the’ light is red. The lights, which wiil be} placed in position on or about Monday next, will be a visible at a distance of about six miles, The lanterns were photographed for the Department by Mr. Welsh yester- Uday.

In the year 1890 Mr, Welsh was appoint- ed general lighthouse repairer for the province. Since his appointment he has made and fitted two stationary tower lan- terns, each four feet square, for the outer and inner ranges at Georgetown, besides making the necessary repaira and alter- ations for the proper maintenance of the lighthouse service. If the lanterns seen yes- terday area fair sample of Mr. Welsh’s general work in that line, the Department is to be congratulated upen having secured his services.
