LETERS 10 THE EDITOR
Maritime Agricultural Union.
Sin,—The question of a political union of the three Maritime Provinces has re cently been ventilated by the press, and the views of leaders of public opinion in the Provinces have been ascertained on that question, which, previous to Confeder- ation, was partially entertained, but the time is now past for a Maritime Union of that kind, Tnere is reason, however, to believe thai the agriculturists, stock raisers and indus trial classes of the three Provinces woulu support the scheme of a Maritime Union having for its object the organizstion of a Triennial Exposition of the products, manu factures and industries of the three Pro vinces, to be held at three given points, say Charlottetown, St. John and Halifax The genera] competition that would take place as the resuit ot such a union, espe cially among stock raisers and agricul. turists, would greatly tend to develop the resources and industries of the different Provinces, and be productive of beneficial results to the people generally ; and wuld be as far in advance of our Provincial Ex hibitions as the latter are of ordinary Country Shows. It may be asked upun what basis, tinancialiy, can such an Exhibi-
“imply by additional grants from each ot the Provincial Legislatures, as supplements co the ordinary annual grants for Provin- cial Exhibition purposes. A priz> list could be prepsred by a jot committee of management thas would offer premiums worth competing for, and such as would arouse 4 keen spirit of competition in every branch of industry ail ovr the Provinces, and would develop their productiveness and capabilities to a degree hitherto un- equailed.
From the fact that Exhibitions under efficient management accomplish much in educating the peuple in the science of agriculture, it may be fairly assumed that the large and varied collection of é@xhibits from all points, such as would be shown at those union exhibitions, would serve as! powerful facturs in the general promotion of every branch of maritime industry.
nier into a compact for a stated number of
yeare, or indefinitely sulj+ct to joint action
‘ow far the people and Legislatures are pre- pared for such a meesure I cannot say. In the discussion of it in the Legislatures, othe: questions will crop up. such as the provisions tor local, district, County or Provincial shows. A general desire of «li the people, however, would do much to clear away diffi ulties, and nothing but benefit can result from ventilation of the whole subject. The better such a matter is unde:stood, the more favor it will be likely to receive.
You will see that I ant:cipste some delay in perfecting a scheme; but I do not by any means think it impracticable, and the more it is discussed, the better.
Pardon these hasty notes, and believe me,
Dear Sir, yours faithfully, (Sgd.) Grorce Lawson.
Trusting that a subject of such vital im- portance to the Agricultural and Industrial interests of the Provinces will meet with the approval of the public, I aw, yours truly. A. MacNerte.

Sir,—As we are bordering lobster fishing again the talk begins, Lt is hinted by the big packers that it is the Government that’s co blane fur the restrictions that is talked vf being put in furee. But it must be look- ed at in another way. The time has arriv- ed when fishermen are beginning to see that the big packers are making an _ inde- pendent fortune and have not yet given the fishermen one single advantage, with the exception of Hon. D Davies and Prowse Bros, who gave their fishermen 60 cents per 100 lobsters last summer. Now pack ers, don’t get m+d at us who have worked sv hard to make you rich, if we strike at you now and then.

The experience gained asthe result of the Dominion Exhibitions held at Halifax in the year 1881 and at St. John in 1883, | when on both occasions exhibitors from this | Province competed successfully in every class and section in which they had au exhibit, should remind our 5s 0ck-raisers especially that they h ve nothing to fear from freudly competition with the stock raisers Of the sister provinces. The fact that the Dominion exhibitions referred to were conducted fairly and im- partially by the commissioners and coammit- tees appvinted to take charge ot the aiffer- ent departments, proves that a triennial exhibitiunn for the Maritime Provinces could be so organized and conducted as to give general satisfaction. The difficulties” and obstacles experienced in the past are now toa large extent removed because of the increased facilities afforded by steamers and railways, and the great advantages of telegraphic and telephonic communivation now extending all over the Provinces. It is hoped, therefore, that the m imagers of local exhibitions will take the question of a grand Maritime Union Exhibition into | consideration, and take such action as will result, at no distant period, in the accom- plishment of so great a boon wo the people. The following ietver, received from Prof. Liwsoa, Secretary fur Agricul ure for Nova Scotia—a gentleman of large experience and practical knowledgc—published by kind permission, shows that he has given this subject mature coasideration : Hattrax.

A, McNEILL, Esq.
Dear Sir,—I am favored with your letter of the l4ch inst., sugges iog a Trieunial Usion Fxutbition of the resources and industries of the three Maritime Provinces to be held at three given poiuts, say Charlottetown, St. John and dalifax, alternately.
If the three Proviaces could combiue cor- dially for such a purpose, I think that very great benetit would result to our agriculture, and great encouragement would be given to our farmers both by promoting improved cul- tivation and methods, and by enabling them to act more readily in concert in seeking mar- kets for produce, As you remark, keen com- petition might be expected at such exhibitions from allor nearly all points in the three Provinces which would arouse fresh interest in stock ; opportunities for sale and exchange would be presented, such as we do not enjoy at present
he educational features and imp'ement improvements in whch our Provincial Kx- hibitions are so defective as compared with those of some other countries might be geeat- ly enhanced, and our catile men by union might place themselves on a better footing to enable them to compete on fair terms ia the export trade with the people of the West, What we want is not a better ciimate or better soil, but more men and more capital in the busisess, to make it large enough to be practicable It appears to me that the Dair Industry is not making the progress it should in avy of the Maritime Proviaces If ata Maritime Exhibition, prizes were given sufficient to bring forward al the latest im provements ia butter and cheese making apparatus, and to show them at work, the effect would be immense. We hada foretaste of this some years ago at the St. John Dom. inioa Exhibicior.
In making those remarks, I am, of cours, merelv expressing my own individual views i. in reply to your private commanica‘ion = Tae practical difficulty to be confronted is, thit a Union Exhibition would reqaire the uniform action, a year or so before hand, of the Ley islatures of the several Provinces, and 4s larg- grants would be required from exch, the action of one Province would depend on that of the others. Suppose for example, it were proposed to hold a Maritime Exhibition at Charlottetown in 1893, to which all th- Provinces would contribute funds, it would be necessary to provide a satisfactory gu trante to New Bv-unsvick Novas Scotia tha when their curn came for the Exnibicioa th facds would b: fortncoming. Tae oaly way
ithan that of six years ago.
close of the year the strength has slightly increased in conparison with what it was at the end of 1890 The increase amounts to about 600 men, there being now a little over 211,600 «flivers and men on the rolls, to compare with 211,000 a yearago The full establshmen: would be 216,000 the same as tt was twelve months since; and the 211.600 is a larger total by the 11,690 The cavalry are reckoned at 19,200, the artillery, ete., —horse, field, mountain and garrisun—at 25,700, the engineers at 6,700, the foot guards and infantry of the hme at 139,000, the Army service Corps at 3,500, the Med- ical Scaff Corps at 2,400 and the Ordnance Store, Armorers and Ordinance Artificers Corps at 1,200; the remainder of the en- rolled regular troops being made up of the West India, Maltese and other special corps raised locally for service in the crown colonies. Beyond these there is the great Indian native army and the Colonial Multia and volunteers, and these, with the home militia and volunteers, makes up a grand total whose numbers have never been fully ascertained. All the regular trcops are now principally confined to the home country, India and the great garrison stations in the Mediterranean and the Crowa colonies, Canada and Australia hav- ing no imperial tr ops beyond 1,500 in Nova Scotia, while in South Africa there are only a little more than 3,000 men
The establishment of European troops in India is always large and changes accurd- ing to necessity, but just now it is not greater than it was a year ago, the 73,000 menu at present under Sir Frederic R sberts being regarded as suffizisnt now the Bar- mah has been brought iuto a condition of cumparative orcer. The Bengal command as has always been the case, contains the greater part of the European garrison, and there are now within its borders near 45,000 men, representing six regiments of cava ry, 51 batteries of artillery of all kinds and 33 battalions of infantry.
The establishment of Bombay (including Aden) is much smallzr, numbering less than 13,000, with only one cavalry regi- ment, 21 batteries and 9 infantry bat- talions. In Madras there are nearly 10,- 000 troops, and in Burmsh (included in the Madras establishment) 5.500; the com- position of the United 15 500 being three regiments of cavalry, 16 batteries and 11 oatralions. Each of the three presidencies has also its own company of Royal Engi- neers, the greater part of the engineering service beiag supplied by native troops.
At home, Eigland and Walee ansorb about 73,000 men, the numbers being neariy equsl to those of a year ago, and these include the depots of the important departmental corps at Woolwich, Caatham and Aldershot. All are grouped iu the great military districts, and consist of 12 regiments of cavalry, six batteries of horse artillery, 27 of field, one of mountain, and 20 companies of garrison; 22 companies of engineers, besides the bridging and tele- graph battalions, 42 batallions and 52 depots of infantry; 30 companies of the Army Service Corps; and twelve di- visioas of the Medici Ytaff Corps, besides the smaller bodies of departmental troops. Aldershot, always the largest of the home military commands, has gown during the iast twelve months, its 16,000 being 2,000 more than last year, anditis probabie that tts strength will become atill greater during the coming year; the home (London) dis-
rict contains 7,000 men; the southern (Portsmouth) nearly 9,000; the western, 7,000; the northeastern, 5,600; the north-
western, over 4,000; southeastern (Dover), 7,400; the (Chatham), 4.500; and the Woolwich, 6,00. The four L-ish districts of Dubiia. the Jurragh, Belfass and ‘fork take up 26.500 nea, Belfass hiviag @ smailer propyrsion thin th: other dissricis. Ths priscupa items ia Lord Wolseley’s conmaad are
of securing this would be for the Provinces to
six cavalry regiments, 10 batteries and com.
the eastern, 6,000; the Thames
oxpies of artillery, five companies of ongi- wers and 26 battalions and cight depots of nfantry. Scotland never contains anything ike the proportion of troops that are qnartered in England and Ireland, and ita oresent 4,900 men are rather below the total last year, the principal items being one cavalry regiment and two infantry battalions. The Channel Islands have between them ‘bout 1,800 men, two battalions con- stituting the great balk of the force. Altogether there are at home about 150,600
men.
In the Mediterranean, Gibraltar has some 5 000 men of infantry end artillery chiefly; Malta, over 8,006, and Cyprus 700, half a hattali n of infantry contributing the greater part of the number, In Egypt the total ie nearly 3,300. In the rest of the British Fmpire, the West African settlements have been greatly reduced in Imperial military strength by the withdrawal of the colored West India troops; South Africa has a little more than 3,000; Mauritius, 700; Ceylon, 1.400; Nova Scotia, 1,500; Hong Kong, 1,600; the Straits Settlements, nearly 1 400; Be: nuda is reduced in the year from 2,000 to little more than 1.500 by the return of the Grenadier Battalion; and the strength in the West indies will be increased to more
\ than 3,000 by the re urn of the troops from
Sierra Leone.
