without manure or the expense of clearing the land. We have to compete with the cheap labor of Europe operated by large capital and directed, to a great extent, by men of practical education. We cannot ap-

prairies of the West, nor do we We cannot apply the capital te the cultivation of the land which farmers of other countries do, but we can, if we go tn earnest to work vie with them and excel them in the skill which we may bring to bear on the practise of our leading industry.

The farming of te-day, like nearly every other busivess, stands more in need of mental training, thau that of the past. Machinery has changed the routioe offarm work. When the grain was sowed with the hand, reaped with the scythe, and threshed with the flail muscle was more important than brains, but the seeder, the reaper, and threshing machine require skill to guide them The extended application of machimery is, I believe, destined in all the intiustries, to supercede the unskilled labor of man.

quire little besides strength for their execution will be dove by machinery. Man’s part in the industries of the futare will be more in

the inventing and working of labor taving

machinery than in manual labor, How importsnt then that we should endeavor to save cur children from bein

among the last of the civilized sons of Adam

to suffer the full penalty of earaing their bread by the sweat of their brow.

The extraordinary facilities now possessed by man for quickly transmitting to great dis- tances the products of the earth, and the general competition thus induced, demand the exercise of the greatest possible inutelligenc: by the producing classes. It is not very long since a local market absolutely belonged to the local prodacer. The want of crop reports wade itimpossible to anticpate a scarcity,

aod when it did ovcur, the time and expense required to draw a supply frem _ ont- side were almost equivalent to prohibi- tion. These things are ali changed. While

the yellow grain is still bending before th reaper, the statistican has with the aid of electricity measured the crops of the world. While agricultural science has made two grains of wheat to grow where only one was grown before, the triumph of mechanical science and commercia! euvterprise has been to brimg those grains within the reach of the hungry, Steam has annihilated space, and the markets of the world have become the common property of all producer, Ia these markets the best products only will be wanted, the fittest will survive. In our small way we are competi- tors in the world’s market, and who are the people with whom we have to compete? The trained dairymen, the scientific farmers, and the intelligent stock raisers of Britair, Ger- many, Denmark, the United States, and the sister Provinces of the Cominion. If we are to hold our own in this competition we must educate our producers, otherwise we will be in the position of a mob armed with bows and arrows venturing to engage a disciplined army supplied with repeating rifles.

JANUARY 21, 1884. Editorial Notes.

—The shrinkage in American stocks

is calculated by the Chicago News.

Taking thirty-four of the leading Rail-

road companies whose securities are guaranteed at Wall Street, and the

shrinkage for the past year has been about $230,009,000. The Villards lead the list with over sixty-five millions, the Vanderbilts with nearly twenty-six, the Goulds with over thirty-eight, the Pacific and Denver with over thirty-six, the roads centreing in Chicago with over twenty-five millions. The two roads exhibiting a gain are the Illinois Centra! and the Chicago & Alton—the first one aud the second four per ceut. The ultimate question is: Who is shoulder- ing all this shrinkage, and how many of these securities are held by banks and trust institutions as collateral? It is in the great trunk. lines running east and west, as will be seen, that the greatest shrinkage has taken place.

—The boot and shoe industry is the third largest maoufacturivg interest in the Dominion, dour and lumber ranking first and second. Mr. E. F. Ames, of Ames, Holden & Co., of Montreal, re- cently delivered a lecture in that city, wherein he traced the progress in the mauufacture of leather coverings for the feet, from the time of the ancient Egyp

tiaws uutil the present day. In 1870 there were. tweuty five firms making

shoes in Montreal, whose united annual productions exeeeded in value $4,000,- 000; the number of establishments in the city aod suburbs inv 1871 was 117, employing 5,000 persons wiih.an anpual wages roll of $1 141.579, and a product valued at $6 673,415; ten years-later there Were 200 establishments, 5 490 employees, $1.460,395 paid in wages, and the product valued at $6,880,826— figures which showed the boot aud shoe trade to be the largest manufacturing in- dustry in the city. The annual product of the Domivion was upwards of $17.000,000, with 18.949 persons em- ployed; the city of Quebec having an output of $2,000,000 to $2,500,000, Toronto, Hamilton, and London $1,225,- 000, Halifax and Sr. John $500,000 each.

Nothing appears to have been created in | vain. Even so vile and abject a thing as the Missouri outlaw—Frank James— seems to be no exception to the rule, | Strange as it may appear, he is the point | upon which a question of State rights is | impending. The question at issue ia

this: A Federal Court in Alabama has issued a capias for him, and a United | States’ Marshal has gone to Missouri to} execute it. But inthe meantime, there | are indictments against him in Missouri, and Governor Crittenden refuses to sur- render the ontlaw. He holds that the jurisdiction of the Courts of Missouri

be an injustice to his bondsmen to allow him to be taken out of the State. The Governor, therefore, refuses to make any | concession to Federal authority.

Now, this is a Very serious question for the Courts to decide. It is possible that it may lead to serious complications and great trouble. That Governor Critten-|

oP Gwey @

in 1882 were 41,109 cattle, 10,735) sheep, 11,637 swine, 13 goats, 2,991) horses, 24 asses ; in 1883, 36.366 caitle, 11, 201] sheep, 6,605 swine, 156 gouts, 2.894 horses, and 3 asses.

This makes a grand total of ship=| ments from the port of Belfast in 1883 —71,324 cattle, 10,857 sheep, 28,637 | awine,450 goats, 4,790 horses, 30 ASKER, | and 1 mule; and for 1883—61,238) cattle, 11,890 sheep, 14,601 swine, 362 goats; 4,645 horses, and 6 asses. The shipments from the port of Larne from January Ist, 1882, till September 30th, | 1883, 21 months, were 41,205 cattle, 3.936 sheep, 3,371 pigs, 1,473 horses {8 coats, 10 asses.

Liberal-Conservative Convention at Murray Harbor Road. ALEXANDER MARTIN, ESQ., OF

FIELD, NOMINATED,

Pursuant to notice delegates from all the polling divisions of the Belfast Dis- trict met at the Murray Harbor Road Schoolhouse, on Saturday last, to nom- inate a candidate in the interest of the Liberal-Conservative Party.

The Convention consisted of a large aumber of the most influential men of the district. Amovg them we might men- tion James Nicholson, Esg., M. L. C., John M. Grant, Esq., Capt. Roderick

>

McKenzie, Edward Grant, Esq., Messrs.

VALLEY-

Robert Dixon, Little Sands; John McDonald, Caledonia; Thomas Crane, China Point; Alexander McRae, Heory Burke, Pownal, and John R Moore, Pownal; John McGillivray, Vernon River; Charles McMillan,

McMillan and Peter Praugbt,

Aiberry Plains ; David O'Keefe, Patrick O'Donnell and Jobn Fraser, Pisquid ; Maleolm McKinnon and A. J. Campbell, Uigg; Hugh MeWilliams, E/don; Abram W. Cook, Belle Creek; John Power, Newton; James Stewart, Alex- ander Ross and John Ross, Murray Harbor Road. The names of several gentlemen were submitted to the Con- vention. On the third Ballot ‘being taken a large majority of votes appeared for Alexander Martin, Esq., of Valley-

field, whose nomination was then made unanimous. When the results was anneunced to the large

public meeting assembled in the adjoining room, it was received with the utmost enthusiasm, and the nomination adopted by arising vote. Mr. Martin in a neat and appropriate speech accepted the nomivation, He had for many years belonged to the Liberal-Conservative Party, and believing that the present Government had with honesty, ability, and economy, administered the business of the country for the Jast five years, he would give them a fair and independeni support while they continned to act ip

what he conceived to be _ the best interests of the Province. He would, however, give a _ slavish

| Support to no party, but would consider

measures ou their merits. If elected, he would, to the best of his ability, promote the local interests of Belfast.

He called on Liberal-Conservative elee- tors to exert themselves if an Opposition candidate were nominated. If they did so, the constituency will be redeemed with a large majority.

The meeting was then addressed by the Provincial Secretary, the Hon. Neil McLeod and some other gentlemen, after which tbree cheers were given for Mr.

Martin, ond three more for the Government.

<> 0- ED <0 Oe The Scotch and TIrish Cattle

Trade.

The leading ports of the North of Ire- land being temporarily closed for trao- shipment of cattle from that country to Scotland, itisof interest to know the extent of this trade. Our figures deal with the transhipment from the lst _ of January till the 30th of September, and thereby represent,in a measure, the normal conditioa of the trade. The closiag of the port of Belfast, six weeks

ago, naturally paralysed the trade ‘in October and November. In 1882. the

shipment frem Belfast to Glasgow were 14,668 cattle, 80 sheep, 245 swine, 5 eoatr, 1,424 horses, 4 asses, and 1 mule; to Greenoch. 3,661 cattle, 14 ‘sheep, a swioe, 176 voats and 13 horses; to Ard- rossun, 11,003 cattle, 28 sheep, 11,875) swine, 256 yoats, 350 horse-, and 1 9.38 ; to Ayr, 883 cattle, 4,877 swine, 12 borses, and 1 ass—making a total of 30,-| 210 cattle, 122 sheep, 17,000 swine, 437 goats. 1,766 horses, 6 asses, and 1 mule. The figures for the past nine months show a great failing off :—Glasgow, 6,- 220 cattle, 373 sheep,68 swine, 15 goats, 1,034 horses, and 3 asses ; Greeneck, 4,- | 917 cattle, 1 pig, and 11 horses; Ardros-. sin, 3,208 cattle, 316 sheep, 6,331 swine, | 189 goats, and 773 horses; Ayr, 527) cattle, 1,596 swine, 2 goats, and 33) horses; total, 14,872 7,996 swine, 206 goats 1,851 horses and | G asses,

Shaw's Ridge, N. Y., there has occurr- cd a most remarkable fatality_.in. the family of a Mr. Shaw, in whose boner the station ismamed. A fortnight ago a daughter of his died of black diph-

theria. Another daughter was then taken sick with the disease, and she, too, died. Another daughter was

attacked, and a married daughter left her home in an adjoining town ahd went to her father’s asa nurse, Soon the third daughter died, aod she was soon followed by two otbers, including the married sister. Ot this family of eight, there new remains but the father mother and son, and the latest intelli- xence is to the effect that the latter was coming down with the nialady. One of the young ladies wasa recent graduate of che Gorham Normal School. Of the deceased the younyest was 16 yeais of age. The tew neighbors fear the pes- tilence and the unfortunate family ha- been isuluted.
