YESTERDAY'S issue of the Patriot revives the insult that Cartwright, the Grit Minister of Finance, offered the Highlanders of Ontario last summer, and very grossly misrepresents a paragraph in our paper of the previous day. The Patriot knows that the Belfast Highland- ers will, to-morrow, poll a solid vote against his Grit candidate. Hence his chagriu and insulting insinuations.
AtrHoven the roads leading to the city are in a very bad state, the market to-day was largely attended. Prices were as follows :— Reef (small) from 6 to 12 cents per [b.; mut- ton, from 6 to 10 cents: pork (carcass) from 54 to 6 cents per lb.; veal, from 4 to 7 cents; oat- meal, $2.25 to $2.50 per 109 Ibs.; flour, $2.75 to $3.00; butter (fresh) from 29 to 24 cents ; butter (tub) from 15 to 17 cents per Ib.; eggs, from 11 to 14 cents per doz.
Two thorough-bred stallions, which were imported from England for the use of the Stock Farm, were sold by erder of the Stock Farm Commissioners, on the Market Square to-day. ‘‘ Abel” was bought by Mr. Edward Howatt, of Tryon, for $105, and ‘‘ Brown Stout” was bought by Mr. Allan Boisner, North River, for $270. Mr. J. J. Davis, of this city, bought a splendid Ayrshire bull calf for $36.00.
Ir was twenty-six thousand doilars worth of debentures—not thirty-six thousand dollars worth—as erroneously stated last evening— which were issued by Mr. Davies’ authority, and which the citizens have to pay for with interest. Yet Mr. Davies lately declared the issue of debentures a curse, and stated thata mortgage is placed upon the property of every man in the community for which they are issued. Citizens, give Mr. Davies a hoist with with his own petard! On his own showing heis guilty of an unjustifiable offence.
Tus Halifax Reporter states that the Gov- ernment of Nova Scotia have resolved upon roviding the harbor of Halifax with a steam arge, to ply between Richmond, Halifax and Woodside, calling at all the wharves of the harbor, Dartmouth and Halifax sides both, to take freight. ‘This steam barge will be so constructed as to receive freight at all tides, and will be of sufficient size to hold from four to six cars. Of course, with the Woodside re- finery in full blast, there will be almost enough freight to warrant the Government going to the expense.
An. Ox belonging to Mr. Scott, of North River, became infuriated at the market to-day and, careless of ali depredation, sped madly through the square. Pedestrians crept into every available nook, and the street was rapidly vacated, The run away crossed Grafton

The Depression.
LorD BEACONSFIELD, in reply to a sugges- tion for an enquiry into the depression of commerce and agriculture, said that though he could not see that any. advantage would result from an enquiry into the cause, he could not but acknowledge the fact of a de- pression in agriculture. He stated that Eng- lish agriculturists were suffering principally because of the low price of produce, and he ascribed the low price to the depreciation of silver, Whatever may be meant by this, there are other more potent causes at work. The fact is that wheat cannot be grown profit- ably in England at the price for which American wheat can be laid down there. A recent letter to the J'imes show clearly that American wheat, which has already brought wheat in England down in price to forty shil- lings per quarter, can be sold as low as thirty shillings. Now, if an agricul- tural depression is felt with wheat at forty shillings, the effect of a further fall of thirty shillings is very apparent. English wheat growers would be practically out of the mar- ket. Itis stated that unless this year’s har- vest is an unusually good one many English farmers will be unable to hold out any longer. As there isno practical limit to the wheat pro- dacing capabilities of America, the depression as faras it affects agriculture must be a per- manent one. Anexodus of English farmers might be anything but an undesirable thing for themselves, and Canada especially, just {now that our immense wheat-growing lands of the North-West are being opened up so rap- idly, yet it would be a great blow to one of the greatest industries of England.
The following special cablegram to the Toronto Globe from London April Srd, is published ; ‘‘ Edward Hanlan is rapidly recovering from his recent indisposition. Hie is now rowing with his usual strength and power. Very few persons will stake money against him. ‘The Canadians who intend coming over to bet will not be able to put up much money on him, owing to Ross’ easy victery. Hawdon has very few backers, as onr speculators prefer the Can- adian, considering that his prospects are reuch stronger.”

‘To the Electors of Charlottetown, Common and Royalty:
ENTLEMEN,—Having been nominated at a large meeting of merchants, me- chanics, farmers, and other electors of Char- lottetown, Common and Royalty, representing both parties in Dominion politics, to run in conjunction with Mr. L. H. Davies, for the
Local Legislature, [ beg to state that I have !
accepted the nomination.
If elected my best efforts will be directed to have the Law for the Registration of Voters so amended that no elector may be deprived of his privilege as a British subject, in recording his vote. I believe that by strict economy and retrenchment in the various departments of the public service, the expenditure of the Province can be so reduced as to bring it with- in the revenue, without resorting to direct taxation; and any measures having for their object the reduction of the taxes, or the repeal of the Assessment Act, if that be found pos- sible, will have my willing support. The state of the Provincial finances, as well as the depressed condition of all branches of trade, demand the strictest ecouomy and retrench- ment. Certain members of the present Gov- ernment having declared their intention to place Charlottetown under the Assessment Act, I shall strenuously oppose any such measure. That Act was placed upon the Statute Book to defray the expenses of main- taining the roads and bridges of the country. The City taxes itself for that purpose, and it is, therefore, unjust that it should be compelled
to contribute to a service from which it derives |
no benefit.
Charlottetown contributes largely to the.
general reveune by its consumption of duitable goods. This revenueis repaid the Province The subsidy is also largely made up by the 80 cents per head of the population. it will, therefore, be my duty to see that Charlottetown gets a fair share of the Revenue thus derived.
Any measures having in view the improve- ment of the position of the Mechanicsof this my pative city, and the protection of their indus. try by the adoption of a just Lien Law, will, I need hardly say, have my warmest support, whilst at the same time I shall endeavor to see that the r:.: t3 and interests of other classes are in no way infringed upon.
Having had an experience of upwards of 25 years in business, I claim to have some know- ledge of the wants of the people. if elected, my best endeavors shail be put forth to promote their interests. My motto is country iirst, party afterward, and fair play to all.
i have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully, THOMAS MORRIS.

I rejoice that the harsh line of religious party differences has been obliterated, and that all denominations can henceforth stand shoulder to shoulder for the purpose of striv ing in unison to carry out such measures of economy and retrenchment in the Administra- tion of Governmental affairs as the changed as- pect of commercial and other business matters in the Province have rendered absolutely necessary.
Should I have the honor to be returned te the Assembly as one of your representatives, | an object of mine shall be'to meet all reason- able and honest endeavors that may be made to lessen the burthen of taxation, which, in the present state of general financial depres- |sion, is undoubtedly necessary; and to aid any legitimate legislation that may tend to the well-being of every class in the commun- - ity, and particularly of mechanics, who, as a body, through their own magnanimity, have notin the Assembly a representative from among themselves.

Should you dome the honor of returning me as your representative, I shall consider it my duty to guard your interests in Parlia- ment, by advocating such measures as will most conduce to your prosperity, In times like the present, of financial and , commercial depression, I will advocate mea- | sures of economy and retrenchment in every branch of the public service in order to re lieve the taxpayers as much as possible.
