This situation has natureliy attracted universal attention and comment. Not a word, however, has been rep ‘rted from the himself, while many sormises and theoretical explanations have been suggested. Is it possible that a Congress which feelsitse!lf logically committed to the McKinley ta:itf could also countenance the reported Pan-American policy? Is it at all probable that the Secretary has so radicelly ant saddeniy changed hia views—for his articls in the North American Review ia sti! fresh inthe public mini—that he proposes S uth American reciprocity, a policy which is not affocte | by a name, and if sound is as de- sirable with f reign Karopean as with foreign American states ?

The Canadian Agriculiurist points out

that—

““When presenting his Commercial Union scheme to Canatianus, and especially to the avricu tural class:s ef the Domiaien, Mr. Wimao bases his argument in its favor chiefly m the fact (as he claims) that a market «f 60,000,000 peeple would be opened to this Bat the actual circumstances do

this claim. It is well known thatthe farmers of the Middle and Vestern States are compelled to sell their wheat, oats and corn at prices that our farmers would consider ridiculously low. But it has not been generally supposed that the stock- raisers of Nebraska, situated right in the heart of the Continent on the Missouri River, were finding a market for their beef in Nova Seotia. Yet this fact wasstated to be the case at meeting of the Maritime Grange at Halitax a few daysago. One of the largest dealers in prov’sions in that city said that enormous quantities of beef had been imported from Chicago for consumption in the lumber c«mps, and that resently beef had heer imported direct from Nebraska to Halifax and sold in that city at 6} certs per pound, Some of it had been subs quentiy reshipped to New- foundiand and sold there at a profit.

Apri 15. Oa motion of Mr. Sinclair, the Act in- corperating the French’ River Hall Com- pany was made the order of the day fora second reading. Mr MeLelian presented a petition re- respecting pedlars’ licences, which was dis- allowed on the ground that it conflicted with the Order of the House relative to the initiation of money matters, Two messages were received from the Legislative Council. One stated that the Council had made some suggestions to the Domestic Animals Act ; and the other that they had amendeif he Full Electric Com- pany Act, to both of which they asked the concurrence of the House. Mr. Forbes asked the Commissioner cf Public Works if it was the intention of the Government to complete this coming sum- mer a new roxd leading from Village Green, Lt 49, to Georgetown Road, said road being in progress for some years, aud com- peusation paid for the tighting of said road by the Government. Hon Mr. Bentley replied that money had been expended on this road since the fall of 1888; that good progress had been made in 1839, and it is expected that it will be completed during the current year.

Mr. Forbes asked the Commissioner of Public Works if it was the intention of the Government to take any action to open a road leading from Georgetown Road, Alexandra, Lot 49, to the Shore on Crown Point, in accordance with a petitien from the inhabitants of that place asking for the same, and that same petition be laid on the table ot the House.

That as the money in the hauds of the Water Commissioners is nearly all expended, it wil be impossible for them to entertain the appli cations of citizens now being made for services to their houses. That an extension of water works will be necessary before all the citizens can have an efficient supply of water. The committee would recommend the Council to pass a resolution empowering the Mayor to sign said petition.

Carried unanimously.

The following resolution was moved by Councillor Morris and seconded by Coun- cillor Crabbe :—-

Whereas, The sum of $163,900 fixed in the Charlottetown Waterworks Actas the limit of the cost of construction of s4id works has now been expended, and other expenditure is required for the greater efficiency thereof, aa also to extend the main and service pipes more generally throughout the city,

Resolved, That the Mayor of the city be authorized to sign a petition on the part of this Council requesting the Legislature of this Proviuce, at their present session, to amend such Act of Incorporation extending the total cost of such comstructic» to the sum of $209,- 000, deducting from tie debentures issued therefor the $¢2,000 issued at the Ist of Oc- tober last.

‘Farther consideration of the proposed tariff changes has confirined the first inpres- gion of farmers and their friends that these wlifications will be very beneficial to our great agricaltural industry.

shanties, gave some idea of the magpi-

tude of their importations by which they have been the customers of foreign farmers, ‘Those who are acquainted with the subject have no hesitation in saying that po:k of the kind required by the tumbermen can and will be supp ied by our farmers when they have the market assured tothem. The obstacle hereto- fore bas been the uncertainty that the market would not be swamped by heavy importations. The Canadien farmers can readily produce all the pork required in Canada, and that they shoul! do so will be greatly totheir benefit, and therefore indirecily to the advantage of the whole community. The deputation of pork packers and another of members of the House of Commons representing agricultural constituencies, their object being to sup- port the groeposéd duties, also evi- denced the importance of this matter to our farmers and the beneficial nature of the change. The increased duty on flour is also being generally recognized by the agricultural community ae promisiag them a substantial benetit by secu:i g to them the home market, always more remunerative than ‘sales for ex- portation. While our farmers can grow the vest of wheat, there is no need of letting the grain grown by foreigners oust our home pro- duce by being imported in the shape of flour, driving oar own goods out of the country. Under the changed tariff our farmers wil no longer be placed at this disadvantage, and they are well satisfied at the prospect.”

In these and in other respects, as the Empire well remarks, our agriculturists are decidedly benefitted by the proposed ulter- ations, besides the indirect but very real advantage conferred upon them by the en- couragement of manuf»cturing industries and thy consequently increased number of home customers for the farmer and the far- mer’s wife to supply.

It is possible, then, that our farmers will not suffer a very great deal by reason of the unfriendly exclusion of all the British

possessions in America from the benefits which may follow the so-called Pan- American Conference and the additiors

The committee appointed at a previous meeting to endeavor tu secure the use of a rvom for the purpose of a library and museum for the Society in the Provincial Building, reported that the Leader of the Government regretted that there was no vacant room in the building at his disposal; whereupon a Committee was appointed to make further application to the City Council for use of one of the rooms in the Market Building, and else-
