Notes and Comments.

Referring to Mr. Plimsoll’s onslaught on the cruelty of the Trans-Atlantic cattle trade the Canadian Gazette shows that for the past six years the number of cattle killed in transit was only about — three- fourths of one percent. on the total num- ber carried. The figures of the United cattle trade show 24 per cent. loss in the season of 1889, which is far in excess of the Canadian rate. When it is remem- bered that these figures for Canada include the cattle on ships which were totally wrecked it will be seen that the percen- tage of loss is quite as small as could be ex- pected.

—That Senator Sherman is now taking action, not for the first time, in reference to the commercial relations of Canada and the United States confers some importance upon his statements as to a matter which he must have studied. He says : ‘‘Canada consumes more of our food than we con- sume of theirs. This is the position under the present duties on both sides, and it fol- lows that the difference in favor of the United States farmer would probably be greatly increased if these duties were re- moved.” Yet, remarks the Empire, in- terested agitators are endeavoring to de- lude our farmers into believing that reci- procity would enable them to sell largely to a nation who. have an abundance for their own market, and a superabundance for export. The movement would be chiefly the other way, their larger surplus compet- ing here with the produce of our farmers,

—Speaking recently at Banff, the Duke of Fife said he had been asked more than once of late why he had made such considerable land sales on his estates. His reason was that he had always felt strongly that it was not to the advantage of the country, or of individual land owners, that an estate should be so large and so scatttered that the pro- prietor could not, with his other occupations and pursuits, take an intelligent and a de- finite interest in it. At all events, he had always felt that there should be in the country avery considerable number of quite small estates, such as those he had created lately on his own, side by side with moder- ate sized and large estates such as now exist. The existence of these small estates would not only create an element of greater sta- bility in the country, but they would tend to do away with the idea which once pre- vailed that land was the peculiar appanage of one class, instead of being, as he main- tained that it ought to be, a purchasable commodity within the reach of all.

— An organ of the Canadian Opposition remarks that ‘‘ Liberals are for reciprocity, free trade and moderate protection.” To this the Empire replies : ‘‘ Without a clue these things are hard to reconcile. But when we remember that the reciprocity of the Liberals is to be with the United States to the exclusion of the rest of the world, the free trade is to be with the United States alone, and the protection is for United States goods in Canada against British competition, while Canadian manu- facturers are to have no protection against those of New England, the whole: object is clear. This free-trade-protective-reciprocal policy is framed to benefit the United States at the expense of Canadian interests and British connection. It is the policy of Messrs. Laurier and Cartwright, but it was devised by Mr. Wiman and his associates, which explains its anti-Canadian, anti- British tendencies.”

—Mr. Blaine’s idea of reciprocity is to secure wider markets for American manu- factures. We know from the best evidence how greatly this is needed. The New York Tribune, the leading Republican organ, thus states his position: ‘‘The fathers of the American economic gospel of protection for home industries never favor- ed the exclusion of national products and manufactures from the markets of the world. Their arguments invariably pointed inthe direction of the development of American industries until competition with foreign producers should be practicable. That was the highest aim of their economic philosophy. The industries should first be established, strengthened and highly de- veloped, and then gradually be brought iuto competition with older industries in the markets of the world under favorable conditions of reciprocal trade. Secretary Blaine is not a free trader because he strongly favors an extension of the national foreign trade. He is a protectionist of the oldest and best school, and is following out to the logical results the teachings of Alex- ander Hamilton. Henry Clay and Horace Greeley.” Mr. Blaine does not favor throwing the industries of his country into competition at home with the long-estab- lished concerns of Europe. He would have them go into neutral ground, as it were, and in the southern republics show how protection enables them to compete jabroad with England, Germany and France.

9 Boston Markets.

Boston, Sept. 4.

Receipts have been moderate and there has been a steady fair‘demand for choice

stock with a further slight improvement in,

prices. The few Eastern extras received bring 22c. N.S.,N.B. and P. E. Island firm at 20c. and some of the best marks

| bring 21c.

Fisa.—There is very little change in the condition of the fish market. Supplies are generally light and prices for most kinds

‘firm. Codfish will keep well sold up.

Box herring steady. Mackerel scarce and bringing high prices.

Porators.—Receipts have been pretty full and there was a marked decline in prices during the first part of the week, but for the past day or two the feeling has

been more steady. At the close thereis a good steady demand at quotations.

‘Japan.

LETTER FROM REV. BENJ. CHAPPELLE.

AN INTERESTING

1, Physical.—A recent number of the Japan Mail gives a translation from a verna- cular paper of an account of the poverty right herein Tokyo Asa stranger passes through the streets of the city, he would not know that there was any suffering, for they endure in silence and frequently die for lack of the sheerest necessaries. This article says that with many to earn two cents a day is unusual- ly good. The lodging and food provided by that must be very little. They live just on the edge of starvation. They subsist on kinds of food that a horse would not eat, and rice, so cheap an article of food even after exportation to America, is to them a luxury unthought of. One of our missionaries, Mr. Ogata, surprised me the other day by telling me that there are parts of Japan where the year round rice ig by many a -delicacy in sickue:s, but not thought of as an ordinary article of food. This winter is not severe as regards weather, but rice has risen in price and this causes increas- pe saereis) for this little village of a million

as alone an estimated daily rice cons i of 25,000 bushels. y arty

The difficulty is being inereased by wide- spread fires. On Wednesday a fire started in Mita (a section of Tokyo) and stopped only when it reached the sea. Lust week there were four fires in Tokyo‘in oue day, all large, one of them burning 1449 houses.

2. Mental.—A young man came to me a few days ago hoping that I could find some way by which he could remain at school.

The total expenses of board, tuition, room and book rent is less than $4 gold, yet his father could not pay it. He said to me so earnestly, “What shallI do? If I go back home I will jutt drop back toignorance and darkness.” Itwas a young man hungry for knowledge sand mental imbrovement, but “chill penury repressed his noble rage.” We told him how that among ourselves we would meet his expenses. But he would not con« sent tothat. We told him that no one would

know. ‘‘Bui,” said he, grasping his breast,

“T would know it.” What he wanted was some work by which he could earn enongh to pay his way. They are very independent,

nothing of the beggar-spiritin them.

8, Spiritual.—There is not any voice saying “come over and help us” any more. than St. Paul heard when he reached Macedon, but the needs of this great nation, all that you can read in their enquiring faces, calls loudly forhelp. I will as long as I live, I think, remember the face of a young man who was bowing to idols in a temple at Tokyo one afternoon. He was, I think, a student on his way home from school. His face expressed so much, such spirituelle, such consciousness of life’s. mystery, such looking for -help and light. I frequently drop into a temple but a little way from here, into and out of which is an almost constant stream of worshippers. The worshipper washes his hands in the stone basin near, leaves his boots at the foot of the temple steps, ascends, knocks a heavy cord against a gong to tell the god that he has come to offer his petition, throws his offering into the money chest, lays a little tray of food or fruits on the altar railing as food for the deity, devoutly kneeling offers his prayer, and, the prayer ended, he rises, claps his hands. to attract the god’s attention, and going away he again strikes the heavy cord against the gong to remind the god of the prayer just presented. Within the railing gorgeously robed priests chant wierdly Buddhist prayers, and every few moments strike a clear sounding metal, thus informing the gods that another set of prayers has been repeated, ‘‘for they think that they shall be heard for their much speak- ing.” Some receive from the priest a printed paper (likely religious instructions), others are given penances. You may almost any day see persons walking up and down the path that leads to the temple, bunches of straws perhaps in their hands representing the num- ber of times this walk must be made, and each time when the temple steps are reached bow- ing tothe god, whom they are told they have offended. Oh, it all makes the heart sick! Arouod the temple proper are small- er shrines, with idols of wood and stone. I noticed a little while ago a well dressed young woman, evidently of the better class, engaged in her devotions at one of these. What her prayer was I do not know, but the tone of voice, the sigh, all told of some deep burden on the heart. It gave me a touch of real compassion. At first: my life in this in- teresting land was only brightness, but as I know the people more it is becoming deeply serious, for which 1 am thankful, and. am al- ready being shown at least one way in which I can touch these brothers and sisters of mine, whom I love with a growing affection.

Inclosing. Anything thatI said before leav- ing about the importance of the foreign work, I would say with yet greater emphasis now. I feel more strongly than ever that it is just playing with Christ and His commission and the souls for whom he died, to cluster so much at home and leave such large spaces untouched—of Japan it can be said in a senso that it cannot be said of N. B. and P. E. L., ‘* the harvest truly is plenteous, but the la- borers are few.” May the blessing of the Lord rest upon you all.
