A mMoNTREAL clergyman visiting the Island, in a letter to the Moutreal Witness says:

‘The P.E, Islanders are only waiting for the chance to beckon Yankee friends to cut the cords that hold them on their back, ‘They have no love fur Canada and groan beneath a needless load of government, in which ignor- is nurs«d at the sacred breast of honor,

We wonder why the above clergymnn went into tue Church. There are other professions which would suit a tongue like his much | r, while the reputation of the Church would in a measare be saved.

lux cricket match played between the Wanders rs, ol H slifax, and the St. John club, on the beautiful grounds of the latter, resulted in a sigoal victory for the New Brunswickers. The Wanderers going first to the bat. were all retired fur 40 runs. Neal alone getting double figures, scoring 13. The St. John’s tirst inniegs was almost as uasuceessful, being all put out for 43 runs. In the second innings for the Wanderers, scoring was very slack,and the whole team only managed to pile up 38 runs. After losing but one wicket the game was called in favor of St. John. This is the most disastrous defeat the Wanderers have susta ned for some time; and when we remem ber that only a day or two previously the St. john team were easily defeated by the Garri-

n, it seems as if the Wanderers are either playing very loosely or their team 18 ao inferi- or one.

— + ee MEETING AT RUSTICO.

SrronaLy Liperat-CoNSERVATIVE,

About four hundred persons were present. The meeting was addressed by Dr. Jenkins, D. McKay, M. P. P., Hon. D. Ferguson, De. McNeill, and Mr. Thomas Doyle in the interest of the Government, and by Mr. Welsh, D. Farquharson, M. P.P,W. Patter- son, M.P., L. H, Davies, M.P., and 8, F. Perry, M.P.P., on bebalf of the Indepen- dent-Oppositionist. Good order prevailed. Mr. Patterson knocked the bottom out of the Grit arguinent (?) that the duty increases the price of flour in Canada. He showed that as Canada produces more wheat than she consumes, and as the price is controlled | by the foreign market,it was utter nonseuse

to contend that the National Policy increas- | ed the price here! It is to be hoped that

we shall hear no more of the grave political

heresy which the Grits here have been preaching for so many years—ihat the N.P.

increases the cost of flour to the consumer in P. E. Island. Mr. Patterson discussed the Trade Question in the abstract, present- ing the Grit argument in a neat and forcible me nner.

Mr. Ferguson replied by quoting Patter- son agains: Patterson. That gentleman was among the firsi to advocate the Nation- al Policy; or what he called ‘‘ Defensive Policy.’ Asa manufacturer of cigars he had sought protection for that industry, and having obtained it, he placed his opinion of it on record, in the following words uttered by him in Parliament iv 1576.

The cost of the article was not increased one iota, and Canada got all the benetit.
