LETTERS 10 THE EDITOR.

LEGACY AND SUCCESSION TAN,

Sirn,—In the Weekly Patriot of the 15th inst. appears an editorial under the above heading, where the editor is, no doubt, encouraging our Local Legislature to pass ; Sueh a bill as he speaks of.

If the Local Government should pass the tax curse again, does the editor of the Patriot mean to say that those properties which pass to heirs or legatees would not share that tax without imposing an extra one on them ?

But such would be the impression on one’s mind by reading the following ex- tract: “But if the property of the living has to be taxed there is no good reason why estates passing from the dead to their successors or legatees should *not share the burdens of the state.” Now, I believe such atax as he speaks of would be a curse indeed. There are plenty young men on the Island who remain on their fathers’ farms working hard to maintain their parents, some for twenty years, who would have to pay tax if levied on property. Would it be just when those parents died, that their son who would be left the property, say, worth $2000 or $3000 dollars, should have to pay a tax of 24 per cent. “which would be a smal! rate) a bill of $56 to $75 on the property be became heir to.

The Patriot goes further to show reason why suck’a tak should be levied. Hers are the words, “The state, which has to protect all these parties in their rights, often by expensive law-suits, in which the expense of the courts is much increased.” Now, I fail to see any reason in the in the above for such a tax, for if the pro- perty is left by will it has to be reevrded, } and letters of administration taken out for which a large sum haz to } paid, and provided the case ended in a/lawsuit, who pays the expense? Let thé Patriot aw swer. - Much has been said in the liberal press | of the Dominion about the Government at Ottawa and their protective policy being the cause of snch an exodus to Uncle Sam’s domain; but I think if such a tax as the Patriot speaks of.is introduced here, they will see alarverexodus from our Is land in the futgre than ip the past.

I hope tlie Patriot will retrace its tracks and uphold the people of our I>- | land home from such a course of taxation | as it speaks of, or else it will be useless for the agents of the party to be canvaae- ing the country for its editor to gain a seat in the Dominion Parliament.

| ENQUISITIVE KING'S COUNTY ™M AN.

| Sin,—I see by last Wednesday’s Guardian | that the Sheriff of King’s County presented | the Judge with a pair of white clovetith« | calendar Leing clear of any criminal cases } for this term of the Supreme Court. Now, | sir, although there are few in the coun‘y that would be b: tter pleased to see King’s County free of crime than the writer, stil] Ido not approve of letting al] King’s County evil doers go scott free. I, and a good many others, would like very well to } know what happened the Cheverie-Bushey | ease. By all accounts it was a f arfa!

case, and how it was taken ont of ccurt i- j not known. There was another case of burglary and two cases of receiving stole ) goods some two years ago, that. in the opinion of law abiding citizens should have been brought before the Supreme Court long ago. But for some unexplained reason they were allowed to die. Perhaps the Sheriff or some other official having the management of these affairs, would | explain. If they would, the minds of a great many in the country would be re- lieved, as there are many who think that } politics have something to do with it.

INQuisivive. <sniennicniiiiaial cattails NORTH SIDE FARMERS ASSOCI- A N, Meeting at Glenecorrodale, The above association had a meeting at | Gleneorrodale, on Friday evening, 23rd inst. There was a very large attendance he firs: question brought up was, “Ha- | the intro .uction of machinery been benc- } | ficial to niankind ?” | Mr. J. A. Maedonald at first thought |

me would naturally conclude that ma- shinery has been a great benefit to man- | kind; but if the subject is considered it | will be found that machinery has been an | injury tothe farmers of P. F. Islan, at least. Twenty years ago our farmers | raised better crops and sold them for bet- | ter prices than they do now. machinery has induced farmers to plow tields that should not be plowed at inci would not, if the work of patting in ind taking out was to be done by the ‘rude methods of twenty years ago. —

Mr. Jolin A. Maedonald did not agree vith the preceding speaker. He thonght hat machinery has been a great blessing to not only our own Province, but to the whole world.

“What is the cause of the present low prices for farm products?”

Mr. N. McPhee—The canes of the pre- sent low prices of farm produce is the opening up of the Northwest of the Unii- ed States and Canada. By the aid of im proved machinery one man can can put in 30 acres of wheat in a week, and by the aid of the selfbinding and steam thresher | the grain can tbe harvested and! | threshed with the least possible manual labor. The virgin soil of | | the vast prairie and the basin of the Mis- siss:ppi Valley will produce grain and | neat for forty years withou’ a forkfal of manure. Quick transportation brings these products into competition with ours in the East at the very lowest rates. It is nseless for the East to compete with the | West in grain, beef or pork.

A subject for debate was next introduced | —“Which is the more destructive element, | fire or water?” Mr. J. A. Macdonald gave | the opening address, and in-a few pointed remarke, explained the terrible destruction caused by both'of these elemente.

Mr. John Dunphy was the next speaker, and endeavored to prove that fire was the more destructive. |

Mr. Neil McPhee spoke next. At this |

the meeting adjourned. There were several good speakers in the hall who

intended to take part in the debate, and the meeting was, therefore, adjourned: till Friday evening, March 9th, when the dis- cussion of the subject will be resumed. | Several other questions of importance to the farmers will be brought up. J. A, Macpoxarp, Secretary.

eee —The British Parliament is wrestling with a measure of temperance reform for Wales, The bill provides.that the town | council in a borougli, or one-tenth of the | | ratepayers in any sanitary district, may demand a poll. At the poll three resolu- tions would be put to the ratepapers. The | first would be hat the sale of all intoxi- cating liquors should be absolutely pro- hibited within the prescribed area; the second, that the number of licenses be re- duced by a specified quantity; and the third, that no fresh licenses should be granted.

William Astor is finding it fully as ex-

| pensive to indulge in the luxury of publish- ing @ good newspaper as to maintain the

finest steam yacht. The financial result of his first years’s experience as proprietor of the Pall Malf Gazette, Budget and Magazine was recently put before him, A friend of Mr. Astor relates that the | balance on the wrong side of the account amounted to about $200,000. When he had examined the balance sheet a few minutes it is said that Mr. Astor remarked: "If the balange against us next year ex- ceeds $50,000 I shalj think there is bad management somewhere.”

This is a wise rule when buy- ing seeds. People don’t rush to buy poor seeds, but they do crowd to Carter’s Seed Store every sea- son, because they know the value of the seeds. This is not “blow” but simple fact. Poor seeds tell Oe their own story when they grow, so do good ones. Buy those that have told a good story for years past. They are CARTER’S.
