Mr. Beecher’s Impressions of the Maritime Provinces.
eee
(Letter in the Christain, Union.)
The railroads of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are well built, well kept, and well managed. A nighi’s ride from St. John brings you to the pleasant old ity of Halifax... Three deys there have. left a very pleasant memory. The city is built on a tongue of high land running ont into the bay, and splitting it in two, so that on both sides of the town lies a beautiful sheet of water; on the north side adapted to commerce and on the south ,side to resi- dences, villas, etc. Noplace can be better for hay fever patients. The city has a worn and ancient look, built mostly of wood, and in the lower section having: but’ a faint reminiscence of paint. The air was crisp, cool and brilliant. The city 1s im- mensely fortified. After inspecting the chieftharbor fort and the citidal, we made up our mind not to attack it from the ocean, but to ‘tannex’’ it.
Prince Edward Island is the pearl of the northern seas. It is a purely agricultural province ; its chief products being oats, grass and potatoes. The land isall tillable, and resembles the best rolling prairie land. The fields of potatoes around Charlotte- town, to my farmer’s eye, were simply superb. The oats waved their fringes of grain in great luxuriance. The hay had just been cut—it was the middle of August; Peekskill hay was housed by the middle of of June, thanks to latitude and top-dressing.
From this pleasant Island we turned our faces homeward, stopping only for a night at Moncton.
What about the Redpath “ Mon- opoly ?”
This paragraph is taken from the Delle- ville, Ont. , Intelligencer:—
‘‘We promised the Globe a short time ago
that within a given time we would have other sugars besides Redpaths. We now
have samples of refined sugars to hand from -the St. Lawrence Sugar Refining Company of Montreal.
The quality of these sugars is very superior, not the trashy stuff former- ly supplied to our people from the Ameri- can refineries. We hope the Globe will now stop hewling about the ‘‘ Redpath Mono- poly,” sugar robberies, etc., as we can now promise them on good authority, that for the next crop of sugar there will be a third refinery in Canada, (at Halifax, N. 8.) Our promises so far have been fulfilled and so will this which we now make.” sihionabiadinid naliilamiliaeld Rs Sig Sdsts
The population of Hawaii, otherwise the Sandwich Islands, has increased froim 56,- 897 in 1872 to 57,985 in 1878, the first au- gumentation noted since the census was in- stituted. The increase, however, is wholly due to foreign immigration, the unfortunate natives retaining their characteristic habit of dying off with celerity and dispatch. There is a great demand for labor to work the sugar plantations, a growing industry of the Islands, the exportation of raw sugar having risen from 23,000,000 pounds in 1874 to nearly 44,000,000 pounds last year. Chinese are undesirable, because they do not become permanent settlers. Manakiki Islanders have been tried, but they die off as surely as the natives under the benign influence of civilization. Japanese have been tried, but their Government will not allow. them to come. Portuguese from Maderia prefer lighter work than that on the plantations, and finally it is proposed te import the tougher and more industrious colored man from the South. Hawaii is more in his normal latitude than Kansas, and there is no reason why the plan should not succeed.
