Dean Srr,—We have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the2? built, enclosing a resolution passed at the Temperance Convention held that day in Charlottetown, in which it is re vested that the candidates nuw in the field shovld pledge themselves in favor of @ prohibition of the liquor tratliz. In y we have to inform you that we are in or of prohibition, and will advocate and rt that measure in Parliament when ht forward by the recogniz-d leaders those holding opinions aimiar to our @#b on that question. We have the honor to be, *. Yours truly, (Signed )

‘J. A. Laweon, Esq., See’y. Temp’ Con.

Dear Sir,—We have to acknowledge the Feceipt o: your letter of yesterday's dae, eneldsing copy of the resvintion passed at the Temperunce Convention on the 25th inst., requesting the candidates for Queen's Coypty to pledge themselves to support all legislation having for its object the prohibi- tidm of the-liquor traftic.

lmxeply, we beg to state that we have alre&dy, in an interview with a large num- bapof clergymen, explained that in our opinion the true and only way of resching a practical legis ative conclusion upon the important subject of Prohibition is by sub- mitting it to a vote of the people at an elec- tion to be specially called for the purpose.

Let the people vote yea or nay to the question of prohibuion pure and simple, disentavgled from all party politics or other “nasucs. ad 1 ats

If the result of the vote shows a majority of the electorate to favor prehibition of the liquor traffic, tien the government for the time being must introduce legislation to carry out the peoples’ verdict, and if elect- ed, such legislation, by whomsvever iatro- duced, will have our hearty support.

The tunnel project and the scheme for obtaining better trade relations with the | nited States seem at all the meetings wo have attended tu have absorbed the atten- tion and interest of the electors to the ex- clusion of other questions perhaps equally as important. | Toa very large extent this is the case all over the Dominion and we cannot doubt that the sureat and best method of advanc- ing the cause of Prohibition would be to submit it to the people in the form of 4 plebiscite, at an early date.

Respectfully yours, (Signed) L H. Davizs, Wx WELSH.

The Guardian remarks: ‘‘We have no desire to be exacting with the candidates, but why, in the nama of common sense, cannot Messrs. Davies and Welsh answer directly the questiun that was put to them? A plebiscite is all right, but will they sup port a pruhibition resolution if introduced ?

The Duty on Sugars.

| (The Canadian Journal of Commerce. }

Judging from some of the speeches delivered recently at political meetings there are few commercial articles about the fiscal position of which there is more popular misapprehension than Sugar. The majority of the speakers seemed tu infer that raw sugar enters this country duty free, and that the only duty levied is on the refined article. Were this the case the refiners would certainly be the highly protected cliss these speakers would have their ears believe them to be, But it is not, There are few articles of consumption that pay so high « duty as raw sugar. During last year the value of the raw sug+r importe ¢ into this count: y for retining pu: p ses was $5.279.- 717. This paid $3 304 695 to the Governm~nt or at the r.te of 626 per cent. of its value. Nor is it »lone under the National Policy that raw sugar is taxed, During the years 1874 to 1878 «hen the Liberal party were In power the du y per 100 lbs. was $217. To-day it is bu: $157. So that ra» sugar enters this couniry to-day at 60 cents per 100 lbs. less than it did under the previous government, And, whereas, in the five years: from 1874 78, the average price of re fined at first hands was 91 16c uts per ib, it has only averag d 5 82 couts p-r ib sivce 1X86 No doubt were the incoming government to reduce the duy on raw sugar, or #belish it altogether, vur retiners could enormously increase their output, hut a suin of nearly $4,000,000 in annual revenue is not easily replaced in a young country like thie, and probably there 18 no article that could bear the burden so easily and imper- eeptibly as sugar. Not only this, but sugar is cheaper here to-day than it is in New York. To day’s quotati ns in New York are $6.62} per 100 lbs. Taking off $ per cent., this makes $6 60 nett. In Montreal granulated is $6.50 to day, and l-ss ?4 per cent., the net cost in $6 34. This shows a difference of 26 cents per 100 Ibs. in favor ef this city.

SPLENDID MEETINGS 3.9 5c ucy 3

At Freetown & Malpeque

Messrs. Howlan and Hunt held a meeting at Freetown on Monday which was largely attended. The Freetown Hall was filled. ' Mr. Hunt was the first speaker. He dealt! with the trade question, the tunnel, and the general policy of the Conservative party. ah A Mr. J. H. Bell was the next speaker. Howlan followed with a masterly speech on , the issues before the people.

Capt Jeseph Road made his speech on | unrestricted reciprocity, commercial union and annexation—eiiher of which appeared | to suit him equally well.

The meetiug was a good one from a Con- servative point of view, and olosed with cheers for Sir John, the tunnel, and How- lan and Hunt.

In the evening another meeting was held at Hamilton Hall, Malpeque. Hon. David Laird was present to demvlish the Conser- vative candidates, but waa completely washed out by Howlan.

Large Conservative gains have been made in this Liberal stronghold.

The speakers were Hunt, Capt. Read, Howlan and Laird. Howlan closed the meeting, giving Laird such a dressing as he has not received since the old railway days The meeting broke up after midnight. ow

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. |

Notes from the Capital.

—_—-

Srz,—The present m»ment is one of great rush and excitement in Canada The cam- paign goes on bravely. Wh every possible assurance of additional strength for Sir Jvho Macdonald, Islanders shoud calculate ac cordingly and secure a voice iu matters; generaliy, as the age we live in is oue of cluse calculation and deep thought. Noth- ing can be advanced or undertaken now-a- days asin the period of wooden ploughs scythes, sickles and hand flails. No scheme, stock or bunds can be successfully floated unless a certain refund is assured, based on cummon sense and usage.

It is therefore all the more pleasing to note the carefully prepared memo, recently submitted to His Excellency in Council by Honbls. Neil McLeod and D. Ferguson, re the tannel, which hecavse of ita clear de- tailed contentivns and well-ordered figures has taken first place in the minds of the thinking public, whilst the object has all at ence become a live question on which all cau now enter with much accurate data. Even those who never took the trouble to inform themselves on this or any other issue affecting the Island or its trade, are now found in all centres discussing the tunnel on its merits

Ir is well that the contentions and figures so ably set forth in the document are most accurate. as many of our Oatarwo political economists (sv called) are inclined to oppose it on the ground of cust, é ¢, those who are now advocating less public works and +xpense iw the future should they succeed to the helm. Whilst by others the cunien- tions are ssid to be under rather tban above the limit of returns to which the memorial- ists might have justly claimed, and modest even to & fault.

It is to be hoped that all Islanders will peruse the memorandum carefully (as out- siders are dving) «nd make themszlves fully conversant with the contentions and facts therein given To do so will tend to fur- ther recommend the claims and truthful- ness of the demand.

Take, for example, the item of $14,359 depreci+tion charged the Stanley, and but $100,000 probsbie earnings for Tunnel a year, estimating the trade, in and our, at $10,000,000, and we find each to be well within the limit. Next take the estimate, as set forth, of 10c. per bushel being added to the export value of potatves, which is not neatly half the difference obtained in N. va Scvtia, of extra value as received in '87, ‘84 and '89 over that of P. E Island of this difference. We have the provt given in the customs returns for that period.

Therefore the sub:nission of memo. of

facts proving no additional federal outlay or expense, whilst giving fast facilities to the Island, was a must praiseworthy and states «nlike effort on the part of the dele- : . | gates and Ho», Senator Howlan, whose | name bas become a family word threuzhout Canada, and his cenveativn a living is-ue. It would be well for the electors of the whole Island, particularly in Prince Coun- render, atl possible aid t the ex

ty, to Senator, who is the ouly ree gn zed «dvo- cate and prom ter oft tunnel transt, 1a ail

een’res it is Howlan’s nama ‘hat is «8suci- a:.d wih the scheme. As such the +lec- ters can now aid him and themselves. | I do not write in the spirit of | a partizan (1 am not in polities) | but in the true interest of my Island Home and its peoples success, and a'so in the hope | that I may one day return and resume busi- ness in the old stand, which with a tunnel, would be a most vaiuable situ stien.

An opportunity is given to the electors of Prince Count) just now that may not be repeat:!. Look to it, Opportunities lost oftimes leads to:uin. Elect by acclama’ion ‘he H n. Senator and Colleague, and thas s rengthen his hands and enable him to com- lete his »dvocacy with great gain to the sland, and undying honor to himself
