OCTOBER 2], 1879.

‘*Farmers, as well as others, know that, owing to the failure of the crops 10 Great Brit- ain and other countries of Europe, the de- mand for breadstuffs and other farm produce in the trans-Atlantic market this years un- commonly brisk. They know that if there had not been some counteracting force at work the prices of food stutts of all kinds would this year be uncommonly high in the European markets, no matter what Govern- ment was in power or what trade policy was in force.”

° * + * *

‘When the National Policy has produced the results which it, has been establisued to effect-—given Canada to the Canadians—the British market, except with respect to very

* few products and in exceptional years, will be

- completely closed to the Canadian farmers.”’— Patriot.

Tus would be very funny if it were not misleading to farmers who are anxious to sell their produce. England is a ‘‘Free Trade Country ;’ and it is her boast that she buys in the cheapest markets irrespec- tive of the fiscal policy of the countries in which the articles she requires are pro- duced. It is a notorious fact that she buys largely, and in ever-increasing volume, from the United States—acountry in which the ‘‘ counteracting force” of a ‘* National Policy ” is more than twice as great as it is in Canada! England’s merchants buy in the United States simply because they can buy there to the best advantage, and with- out, apparently, giving a thought to the fact that the United. States is, by duties which are almost prohibitory, protecting her manufacturers and artisans from the competition of the richer and longer es- tablished manufacturers and artizans of Great Britain. They have this year pur- chased so largely from the United States, Germany and other foreign and, commer- cially hostile nations, that it seema they are pretty well supplied ; and, consequent- ly, prices are down. They have been sup- plied with oats raised in the Western States, the first cost of whiclr was 27, 28 and 29 cents per bushel; and this is, we suppose, one of the reasons why our farm- ers cannot now obtain more than 32 cents per bushel. At any rate it is a fact— and it is singular that the fact escaped the notice qf the editor of the Patriot—that the demand for the farm produce we have

. have to sell is not “ uncommonly brisk in

the trans-Atlantic market.” Oats are quot- ed in Liverpool at 6s. 8d. stg. ($1.62) per hundred pounds. Let any farmer calculate tie costs of freight, insurance, brokerage, etc.., and he will find that oats for the British market cannot at present be bought here for a higher price than 32c. per bushel. As to potatoes the price is reduce- ed from 9s. stg. to 4s. sty. per cwt. These low prices show that the demand is not ** uncommonly brisk’—is not at all brisk ; and the chief reason we believe to be th une we have stated. At any rate the state- ment that the National Policy ‘‘ produced these results”,is unmitigated clap-trap.

Nor less false and nonsensical is the idea promulyated by the Patriet that it is the “National Policy” of Canada to have the British markets closed against us. Every- one who reads the papers knows that those who introduced and who uphold the ‘National Policy” are working with all their might and main—and not without a good prospect of ultimate success—to in- duce Great Britain to favor the products oi Canada and the other colonies of the Em- pire in British markets, on consdition that Canada, and the other colonies, favor the manufactures of Great Britain in their markets, as against the productions an« manufectures of those countries which re- fuse to reciprocate trade on fair terms.

The Philharmonic Society

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dear Str,—As winter is approaching, the question of amusements will naturally be much talked over at present ; and as music is gradually becoming one of our chief amuse- ments, | should like to make afew remarks about the Philharmonic Society which is at present struggiing into existence. The society has had five or six practices since its recommencement in the autumn ; and, al. thongh the average attendance at practices has been small compared with the member- ship, yet, on account of the regularity of the few who do attend, a good deal of im- provement has been made in the rendering of the music; and it is the intention of this portion of the members to make the society a success. The music which is being practiced is rather difficult, but very beautiful; and those who are real lovers of music will look forward to the weekly roves during the winter as a most delightful way of spending anevening. As goon asthe members begin to be fond of the music fer its own sake, there will be no trouble about irregularity. As the Govern- ment have now arranged for the public teach- ing of singing in the schools, this seems to be just the proper time to starta Philharmonic Association, the strength of which can be added to each year from the young people who have been trained in the schools. The Society will form a certain standard whereby a better musical taste in the community will be estab- lished. Music and literature seem to be the two arts that should be specially cultivated upon this Island, shut out as we are from all opportunities of enjoying the intellectual treasures of art galleries or theatres. The government might surely give a small grant, if only thirty dollars or so, to encourage the Philharmonic in its work of improvement. A real appreciation of music will add fifty per cert to the value offany,man’s life—and, likely, to tlie length if he is taught to use his lungs properly when a child, Any one who laughs heartily and sings often is a long way from consumption.

If the Philharmonic Society were to hire a smaller room than the Hall for their practices the evenings would pass far pleasanter and the singing would be easier for the members Could not the PhiJharmonic Society and orchestral clubs arrange to hire a comfortable room and piano for practising, which could be nsed as a sort of musical centre in preparing for concerts ?

of this same Orchestral Club has been ex- tremely interesting tothe members. Certain events in Summerside and Pownal have only te be mentioned to bring into the breasts of every member of this jolly musical Club a lively sense of good brotherhood. The Club has passed through the fiery ordeal of raw potatoes and rustic simplicity and has now theroughly established itself on a good basis of classical music. The members intend to give a con- cert in about a fortnight or three weeks.

Having mentioned literature in connection wit! tausic upon this Island, I will finish my letter by mentioning a matter that has often surprised me, and that is the want of a good lending library in Charlottetown. At present it is almost impossible to buy, borrow or steal a modern book on any scientific subject. As we now have in the the Young Men’s Chris- tian SAssociation building one of the best jrending rooms inthe lower Provinces, could not a subscription be formed to start a lending library in connectioh with it. The spare room where the magazines now are would be the very place for it. A few hun- dred dollars would make a good commence- ment; anda library of this kind being so much wanted at present, would be sure to pay.
