‘‘Dry Goons” is the signature of a Char lottetown correspondent of the Monetary Times who, in combatting what he alleges to be Mr. Cartwright’s misunderstanding of Prince Edward Island’s contribution to the Dominion Exchequer, states as follows :— ‘**The revenue of P. E. Island previous to Confederation, under our own tariff, was nearly $500,000; if you applied the then Canadian tariff to our imports it would have returned something like $650,000. Mr. Cartwright expected P. E. I. to return this sum, but it must be remembered that a great portion of our purchases, such as furs, tweeds, boots and shoes, soaps, etc., were imported from Canada, and would cease to pay any duty after we went inte Confedera- tion. Our teas, sugars, molasses, etc., are imported from Halifax and the duties are — there. We buy a large quantity of

nglish goods in Montreal, and the duties are paid there, for which the Provinces of Nova Scotia and Quebec got credit.” The correspondent maintains that this Province ptys into the General Government as much

as she gets from it, and only got fair terms,
