THE DAILY EXAMINER

DECEMBER 7, 1898,

ABOLITION OF THE CANVASS. Tre Exner has lately been accueed of favoring bribery and corruption,—though | Tae Examiner is the only paper in the Province which has proposed a prac~ ticable plan by which bribery and corrup- tion may be putdown. Not long since we proposed and advocated the prohibition of a!l personal canvassing, by word of mouth aod by letter. If this proposal were adopt~ ed, the bribery and intimidation of electors would be impossible. Several leading gentlemen belonging to both political par- ties have signified their approval of the plan; and we believe that elestors of the country on both sides—except those who want to se)l their votee—would welcome such a law. It has been suggested that a clause should be added compelling electors to vote or forfeit asum of money to the This point, also, is worthy

MR. JAMES’ LECTURE.

One of the most eloquent and stirring lectures that we haye heard in St. James’ Hall, or indeed anywhere in this city, was that of Mr. T.C. James, delivered last evening. Mr. Jamesdealt with one ofthe great epochs in British history a remark- able and a growing time. He described the condition of England when Elizabeth came to the throne and sketched graphically the

he personal character of the great Queen. Then he portrayed some of the noble .clions (and some not so noble) of the brave ‘ren of old who fought Spain, scattered the ‘lavincibie Armada” and raised England ‘9 the rank of a great power. The num~ erous illustrations of the lecture throws upon the canvas by Mr. A. E. Morrisson were as perfect as skill could make them aud combined with Mr, James’ literary and oratorical ability to make the lecture one of rare interest and effectiveness, Lieut.-Colonel Moore moved the vote of ke, which was seconded by Principe] r who referred in terms of warm ap- to the assistance: rendered by education of the youth

SHIPMENT OF APPLES.

Initial Success of the Fruit Growers’ Association.

Sin,—Today I have received the account sales of the shipment of apples sent by the Fruit Growers’ Association of this I-land to Liverpool.. Before stating the reeult of this venture, allow me to give ashort history of the events that caused the society to send these apjles. At our last meeting it was suggested that the time bad arrived when we should prove to the people of this Island that a good value could be obtained for our apples in the English market, if properly packed and sh'pped in good order. A resolution to that effect was paseed ; and to carry it out three persone very kindly undertook to obtain the varieties of apples which were named by us, to see them put up in a good marketatle manner, and ehip them by steamer to Engiand. The three were, the Hon. Donald Ferguson, for Queen’s County ; D. A. Snarp, for Prince County ; and John Robertson, for King’s County. These gentlemen, at a great deal of trouble to themselves, have performed their duty wll, and deserve the thanks of the people of this Province. They delivered in Charlottetown and enabled our Secretary to ship 108 barrels uf apples. The apples obtained by Mr. Fergueon, 35 barrels in all, were cent to London. Of these I have no detailed account, only a cablegrain to Mr. Ferguson that they had netted £19, which fact has been already noticed in your paper and also in the Patriot. Now, as to the § balance of 73 barrels, of which

as I have already said I have received the account’ sales today. [ am more than glad to be able to announce that the net sum realized by them is $227.32, which wovld be $3.10 per barre] From this must be deducted

ibe cost of the barrel, 26c, and a very emall sum for Insurance, truckage, &c; leaving a price that ought to satisfy anyone who has had experience in fruit-growipg in this J may point out that our average price would have been larger had we sent the kinde that we now know wil! bring the We set out on a “voyage of scoverr,” 80 to speak, and sent a number

| of varieties to eee how each sold. As might

be expected, some did not succeed as well as othere, aud the average has been lowered. And this, too, I hope will be noticed: the two apples that brought the highest price were Alexanders and We-lthys, varieties that are already grown largely and can be grown withthe greatest ease and to the greatest perfection by ue. The prices in Liverpoo! per barrel are as follows: Alex- anders, 20-; Wealthy, 153,91; Bethel, 14: 33; St Lawrence, 142 51; Fameuee, 14- 3°; Nonpareil, 14s 3d; Ribstor, one lot, 15s 9! aad one 13s 91; Spys, 138 Md,

The ,letter:of the auctioneers, Messrs J C Houghton & Co., to me as President, is a8 follows:

“Dear Sir,—It gave us great pleasure to receive trom the secretary of your as- sociation b-l for 73 barrels apples per Lake Winnipeg, for your account, and beg to advise you that we have sold this consign~ ment in accordance with the enclosed a-c sales showing n-p £4708 for which amount we send you bank draft herewith, and trust all will be found in order. We regret to say that the condition in which this parcel landed was not perfect, which prevented our doing as well for you as we should have wished, but have every hope that the result of this trial shipment will not be altegether unsatisfactory to you, sod trust that it will be the forerunner of further large consignments from you.

“The Alexanders we found to be very fine fruit of an excellent color. The Wealthy were al3o of fair size and good color, but the Ribstons turned out small and the latter fact being very much against Vith regard to the ventilated barrel in which you sent some apples, we cannot recommend it for future Shipments, as we find that the barrels in which you hipped the bulk of your consigment are much more acceptable to the trale here, being of tbe description in which almost all the apples fromthe United States and Canada are consigned here, and which we have always found to answer the purpuse wel!, Our apple market is in excellent shape for fruit of goodcolor and. quality, for which an active demand exists, and for which good prices are ob'ainable, and we look for this state of aftairs te exist from now forward. Trusting to soon have the pleasure of heseing from yon,

We are, dear, sir, Yours very truly, (Sgd.) J.C. Hoventon & Co.

Our shipment, then, baa been a great success, and I have no doubt will be the means of giving fruit growing on our Ieland euch an impetus as will place usin the frout rank as fruit exporters and conduce a? much, and perhaps more, to the prosper- ity of our people as cheese making. Juvt one more word andI have done. He will vot like it, am afraid; but I must say there is one person to whom the credit of this venture, and its success, is chiefly due,

and that is our Lieutenant-Governor. He it was who first thought of making this trial shipment,

and in his energetic way pushed the mat- ter until it was an accom} lished fact ; and when’ ft aay he should have the thanks of every inhabitant of this province, Iam sure I but echo the opinion of all.

Yours truly,

Epwarp BayFie.p, President P. E Island Fruit Growers’ Association,

Charlottetown, Dec. 6, 1898.

P. S—lIt will be noticed that the sam realized by tha sale of the 35 barrels in London is £19. This would be about $2 64 per barrel, net, from which the coset of the barrel, &c., would have to be deducted, and is Jess than the price obtained per barrel for the Liverpool shipment. I think it probable that the varieties in this lot were not quite mature. Besides, there were no Alexanders or Wealthys among them. E. B.

Mr Bayfield informs us that the boxes of apples sent by John Robertson, Eeq., of Inkerman, brought in Liverpool from 8sto 3s per box, from which all charges nut be deducted. As wedo not know what

| tlese Charges amount to, we cannot tell

how this shipment has turnedout. Mr, Bayfield thinks it ought to be pretty good,
