—Too much hard earned money thrown away for the sake of pa’ ade a funerals. Goldwin Smith in the Salle. ing letter, puts a case strongly :—

**The ce other

use came under my notice the

day, of a widow who was barely maintaining |

herself and her children, by the most precari- ous means, and who,

bad incurred ao uvdertaker’s bill of thirty-one dollars. she might, I understand, have es-

caped the expense, or the greater part of it, by application to the Mayor or to one of the national societies. But her feelings probably | prevented her from thinking or enquiring what she ought todo. It is surely desirable that those who have influenee with the poor should waro them againet the propensity of funeral expenditure, which lays so fearful a tax on their aflliction. indulge less in these vanities of death, which, after all. only wrong the departed spirct by identifying it with its abandonrd tonement of clay, the poor would not be incited to a ruin- ons emulation. : Yours faithfully, GOLDWIN > MITH.” —The confusion of the prophets-is complete. Even their pre- dictious about the result of the sugar duties are not borne out. There is no monopoly of the sugar business, for there are five factories pow compe!ling

the ruiu of the poor consumer, to inside as well as outside competition.

sugar is vow, if avy thing, rather cheaper |

than it used to be ; and the manufacturers are not makiog enormous profits, for the divideud lately declared by the Canadian Sugar Refivery in Montreal, was but 6

per .ceut. Moreover, good judges say that the Cavadiau refiued sugar is the

purest now in the market; aud so far fron the duties ifiereasing the price, the best atithorities state that iu the past year it has been sold “lower than the

price at which the foreign article could |

be laid down under the old duties.’

derived by those supporting them is almost beyond credence.

The strongest objection now urged by farmers against creameries is that they will be under the necessity number of cows to properly support them.

and will have to look for markets abroad

in which to dispose of the surplus butter |

produced. They cannot deny that the more cows they keep the more will their farms be benefitted by the increase ot manure, and that they will be in a con dition to place more beeves in the market. Again, there can be no difficulty in finding a market for good better. Such butter as is made in properly managed creameries

is always in de mand. Much of it will find a watket in Nova Scotia. When well packed it will stand long shipments, and will never be refused good pric-es in New York or Boston. If We can manufacture so fuuch butter that we have tu increase our shipments to foreign markets. it is a pleas- ing evidence of agri-ultural prosperity.

The qvesticn of public health was found to be beyoud the juris iction ot the Dominion |Government. A change in the consiitution would necessarily have to brought about before the General Government could take ; any action in the matter.

With a view tothe accomplishment of th: desired change, the fullowing res»lation was adopted at the sugyestion cf Sir Charle- Cupper:—
