_.The following statement from & recent English interview with the Hon. Mr. Fos ter, Finance Minister of Canada, is very significant :—

“Twenty years ago we exp yrted domes- tic goods to the value of $59,000, 000, of which Great Britain took nearly J6 per cent. In 1880 the total export had in- creased to nearly $73,000,000, and the Bri- tish purchases to 45 per cent. of this total ; in 1*90 the total had increased again to $85,250,000, and the British purchases to nearly 49 per cent. ; and last year the total increased again to $98,400,000, and the British purchases to over 50 per cent.

The increasing value of the British mar- ket is self-evident

— The Consul General of Franc: bas in formed the customs department that it bas come to the knowledge of the French government that salted pork is being ex- ported to Europe as Canadian produce, when it was only passed in transit through Canada. As the process of curing and pacsing pork isthe same in Canada as in the United States, the appraisers in the sorvice of the French customs find it im- possible to determine e¢ xactly the origin of this class of mcat. In view of these facts the French government will hereafter re- quire that every shipment of Canadian meat to France must be sccompanied by a certificate of the origin issued by the French consular authorities. Collectors of customs are to advise exporters of Canadian meats to France of the requirements of the French authorities.

—The rapid growth of agitation among the farming classes of England and their demands fox legislation which may palliate the depression in agriculture, has precipi- tated Government action inthis direction. Among the Cabinet committees preparing measures for next session of Parliament, the latest appointed is that on agrarian bills. It is not likely that the Government policy will take definite shape until after the Rational Conference on Agriculture has shown what the majority of the farm- er’s delegates desire. The Cabinet com- mittee has the Right Hon. H. H. Fowler, president of the local government board, and Mr. John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland, as its inspiring forces. Mr. Morley is understood to favor the creation of land courts in Great Britain, the aboii- tion of titles, and such extension of the Small Holdings Act as will make the ac- quisition of land easier both to small farm- ing capitalists, and, through state loans, to the agricultural laborer. Mr. Gardner's action in prohibiting the import of Cana- dian live cattle has cffended a considerable section uf Radicals, who look upon it as both unnecessary and as an unwise ad- hesion to his Conservative predecessor's policy. The Canadian prohibition was dis- cussed in all its bearings at a Cabinet council before Mr. Gardner was al'owed to issue it, and was finally agreed to as a nec- essity which must be faced, whatever risk to the party might be involved.

(From Ottawa Citizen, Nov. 16, 1892.

P. E. Island Has It

Editor Citizen,—Kindly permit me to correct the statement in this morning's Citizen that “like Principal Grant and Sir William Dawson, Prof. Schurman is a Nova Scotian.” Prof. Schurman is 4 native of Prince Edward Island, the birthplace of Archbishop O'Brien, of Harris, the artist, of James Jeffrey Roche, the poet and editor of the Pilot, of Henry O'Meara, the oet, and his brother, Stephen O'Meara, both prominent journalists of Bos.

ton, of W. C. Macdonald, Montreal's millionaire manufacturer and _ patron of lesrning. It is true that Princi- pal Grant is a Nova Scotian, but it

was not until he had spent several years on P. E. Isiand that he acquired celebrity, and it is highly probable that Sir Charles Tupper would not occupy the eminent pesition he does, had he not as a boy paddled in a ‘dug-out” on the Dunk River, a few miles from Prof. Schurman’s birth- place. Prince Edward Island is also the birthplace of the Canadian Confederation— it was there that delegates from the British Provinces met in 1864, and laid the foundations of our Dominion. And Can. adians should bear in grateful recollection that, tos summer spent on the Island in 1870, Sie John Macdonald owed the last twenty years of his life. Yours, Pounen,.

Nov. 14, 1892.

[This correspondent is inexact in respect to Harris, Roche and Henry O'Meara. The first was born in the Vale of Conway, Wales, the second in Ireland or upon the ocean, and the third in Newfound] ind. But all three certainly possessed the great advantage of living here in their youth and breathing the invigorating Island air, prov- ed to be so beneficial in the cases of Sir John Macdonald, Sir Charles Tupper and Principal Grant. It is pleasing to note that there is someone at Ottawa willing and ready to see justice done to the tight little Island. |

Obituary.

Docror Jonny Kwyox, whose death was announced by Tue Examiner of the 17th inst., was born of Scottish parents in Edin- burgh Scotland. He received his early training io his native city, and then went tu Cambridge University for his coliegiate education. When but a young man he came to this Island, and after a few years was baptized by the late Rev. B. Scott, and became a minister of the Baptist Church, Possessed of good natural ability, sound judgment and broad and liberal views, he was well adapted for the minis- terial profession. For over fifty years he waa pastor of the Baptist Church at Enst Point, Three Rivers, Cross Roods, Lot 48,

and made frequent visits to other churches in town and ec uatry. He was always received by large con- gregrations with much acceptance.

As a pulpit orator Dr. Knox had but fiw equals, His published essays and lecturs on educational, temperance and other sub- jects were scholarly and convincing. He was a vigorous writer, a close reasoner and an eloquent platform speaker, always com- manding the closest attention of his hear. ers. Philanthropic movements, having in view the moral and social welfare of society met with his sympathy and suppert. His exemplary life was governed by noble sens timents, which testified to his devutednes- to every good cause. In the practice of his medical profession the doctor was de- servedly popular. He was kind to the poor and administered to the r wants by trav- elling long distances through the country without any expectation of ccmpensation save the con.forting sssurance that he was contributing to the wants and necessities of the «fflicted and distressed. In his in- tercourse with friends he was cheerful and genial, The large number of people of all denominations, in carriages, who followed his funeral cortege to the cemetery, at the Baptist Church, Lot 48, on the 18th inat., evidenced the high estimation in which

Southport Ferry.

Sir,—Would it be too much liberty to inquire, through your journal, if there are any means in existence of preserving peace and good order, and protecting the lives and property of passengers, while crossing Southport Ferry? A scene occurred last Friday evening which leads to this inquiry, It appears that a farmer returning from market, on his way to the ferry boat, passed some teams that were on the wharf before his arrival awaiting the boat. Some of those who considered themselves injured took the law into their own hands, making an onslaught on the offender, knocking him out of his carriage, and seemed anxious to substitute him in the capacity of a football to the terror of the passengers on a closely packed steamboat, many of the passengers being women. Horses and vehicles were ran back out of the steamer and everything thrown into confusion, until the officer of the boat, after receiving many stray blows, finally reatored order. I think, sir, some means should ba taken to prevent a repeti- tion of such disorderly conduct, and that the officers in charge of ferry boats should not be subjected to such insult and abure as they received last Friday, while they are doing the utmost to accommodate the travelling public.
