LY EXAMINER,
--The Hmpire says : A large proportion of our tabulated exports to the United States are such only in appearance being really in transit to the consumers in other countries. This fact was strikingly ex- emplified in a recent public declaration by Mr. Tripp, the representative of Trin- idad, new in our city, With exhibits from thac island. He expressed his belief that ‘*a considerable quantity of Canadian goods went to the West Indies from the United States ports and were counted among the United States exports to Trinidad.” It necessarily follows that they would also be counted among the Canadian exports to the | United States. The practice to which Mr. | Tripp thus refers applies not only’ to the , West Indies, but to Newfoundland, South | America, Australia and other countries to | which the United States transmits our pro- ,ducts. Besides this, in addition to Can- |adian product thus actually transferred, an- ‘other considerable portion of our exports, {though not themselves sent forward, set ifree an equivalent amount of similar pro- | ducts exported by the United States: It would uot be a loss, but merely a gain, if, instead of giving the United States a mid- dleman’s profits on these transactions, we deal directly with the consumers in other countries. This we could do by means of quite possible energy and enterprise, At this very moment, for instance, we find more than one of the West Indian islands making advances to us to take our wheat, fish, lumber, etc., directly from us, instead of obtaining them as now through the United States. This advantageous change can easily be effected, and it is but a speci- men of the new channels which could be opened for our commerce. It may easily happen that the passage of the inimical Mc- Kinley bill, like the unfriendly abrogation of the reciprocity treaty, may result bene ficially in promoting the extension of our commerce. From any aspect of. the legis- lation at. Washington it affords no good reason for despondency and wailing, At the worst it can very. slightly impede the progress of Canada.

The first shipment of live geese for this season was made on Tuesday last. Mr. R. C. McLeod having sent 1,300 of them to the Boston market. :
Mr. John E. Slipp, of Sussex, has em- barked in the trade of shipping butter to the West Indies. Why could not a remu- nerative trade be developed in this product from this Island ?
We are informed that when Governor and Mrs. Carvell comes up to open the exhibi- tion here they intend driving by team. They also expect to drive up west before returning to Charlottetown,
We are requested by the Secretary to state that the rule of the Prince County Exhibition Prize List requiring imported stock to be in the County six months has been altered to require only three months ownership previous to the exhibition, and in regard to standard bred colts of 1890, certificate or other satisfactory proof of breeding will be sufficient if produced.
Mr. Stephen Huestis, of Wilmot Valley,
informs us that he on Saturday last dug up out of his garden a potato of remarkable growth. Tho stalk measured fully 7 feet in length, and there were underneath 27 good sized potatoes, some of them being large and none smaller thana hen’s egg. The variety are known as Compton’s Early Sur- prise, and the produce from this one stock would go a great way to filling a peck measure. The marriage of Dr. A. A. McLellan, now of Souris, and Miss Mary Ellen Dempsey, eldest daughter of Mr. Matthew Dempsey, of this town, took place at the R. C, Church on Tuesday morning last. The marriage ceremony was performed by the brother of the groom, Rev. A. P. McLellan, assisted by Rev. Dr. Doyle, there being a large number of the citizens present to witness the proceedings. We extend our good wishes to the happy pair, and hope their journey through life will bea prosperous and pleasant one.

-VOL,26.-NO. 95 LETTERS TO!
- Letter from Hon. D. Davies.
Sir,—I have to ask you fd€"space ‘in your paper to,réply to your editorialgecom- ments iu my letter of the 11th inst. “Which appeared in your issue of Saturday last. You are candid enough to admit that _-you may have misreported what I said at thes‘ Jamaica meeting of the Board of Trade ~ upon which the cowardly and insulting at- tack you made upon me over the signature of ‘‘Ice water” was based, and you justify the course you took by misrepresenting the duty levied on molasses under the Mac- Kenzie administration. e I will put you to rights, The duty levied on molasses under the MacKenzie Tariff from 1874 to 1878 was 25 per cent on the cost of the article at the port of production, equal one year with another to 4 centsa gallon. When Sir John re- turned to power in 1879 it was reduced to 15 per cont, equalto about 3} cents a gallon. This year it was again reduced to a specific duty of 1} centsa gallon.. Your whole argument is based on false premises because you assert that it was 20 cents a gallon under the MacKenzie administra- tion, and put the words into Mr. New- bery’s mouth as your authority. Mr. Newbery did not say anything of the kind. In reply to the question I put to him he simply said that the duty on mo- lasses was now only 1} cents a gallon.
The comparison of the quantities of sugar entered at our Custom House for the years 1878 and 1889, is worthless and mis- leading and shows how-little you know of the subject on which you presume to write.
The facts are that prior to confederation, Iwas the only merchant who extensively engaged in the West India trade. It was always a slow business owing to our _navi- gation being closed by ice for six months in the year. Upon the loss of both my traders at sea on the outward voyage to the West Indies, about 25 years ago, I gave it up. After we went into confederation, the Dominion Tariff was against the direct importation of West India produce.
, Your comparison of the direct imports of sugar from the West Indies for the years 1878 and 1889 is misleading. You quoted it for the year 1878 as 501,752 lbs., equal to about 1,700 barrels. This was only a small part of the sugar consumed. Halifax is the West India Port of the Dominion, and sup- plied the balance of our requirements. Under the N. P. it comes from the sugar refineries of the Dominion at an enhanced cost of about 2 cents a pound to the con- sumer. A good many old-fashioned people like myself prefer the West India sugar; hence the reason that Mr. Newbery and others still import some ; but it is only ‘a fraction” of what is consumed on the Island. “In conclusion, Sir, let me ask you how it was that you were “foolish enoug to fasten on me for the few remarks I made at the meeting of the Board of Trade called to meet the Jamaica Commissioner ? Iam not a member of the Board of Trade. I was invited to attend the meeting to give it the benefit of my experience in the West India trade, and I did so. I expressed myself in favor of the course taken by the government to which I am opposed, in appointing a Commissioner and carrying specimens of our . products free of charge to the Exhibition, though I doubted if any good would result from it unless we could reciprocate with Jamaica by an interchange of products free of duty.
I retired from- political life some years since, after, I hope, an honorable record. but Iam still an active politician in the Grit interest when occasion requires it, and I suppose this is the reason for your sub- editor and shareholder, Mr. Donald Fer- guson, trying to fasten upon me with his lies. He had better try and clear up his mismanagement of the Land Office to the satisfaction of the public, and-to use a Scotch proverb, not ‘‘ wake up sleeping dogs.” : Dantet Davies.

f. News Notes.
The population of New York city is 1,518,501, an increase of 25.47 per cent. since 1880.
Reports of killing frost in the western states caused excitement in the Chicago market on Saturday. Smith & Co., heavy dealers in corn, posted a notice that they were unable to meet their obligations.
The report that the New Zealand legisla- ture has decided against Australasian feder- ation is premature. It appears that the legislature- has sent two delegates to the federation convention, without power to finally commit New Zealand to the scheme of union that may be arranged.
English capital continues to flow into the United States and to absorb paying indus- tries. A syndicate with a capital of three millions of dollars has just effected the rur- chase of several worsted mills running 600 looms, employing 2,500 people, and turning out 6,000 yards daily.
Quebec is entering keenly into competi- tion with Montreal for the cattle shipping trade, and so far has every reason to feel satisfied with the result. There has been a remarkable expansion in the business at Montreal, but no facilities whatever have been provided to meetit. There is no accommodation for keeping the cattle while they are awaiting shipment, and there are no convenient means of getting them on board ship. Two years ago 50,000 head of cattle were shipped at Montreal, This year the shipments will reach 100,000 head, and there is every reason to believe that the business is capable af indefinitely great- er expansion. The shipments made at Quebec have proved so. satisfactory that Montreal is likely to lose a large proportion of the business.
