mons, on the 12th said: “The farmer’s interest 1s whole community, and ts sot terest.”
Mr. Mills: Hear, hear. |
Mr. Tupper: And you more sensitively than when yé manufacturers, his customers. Now, Sir, I give that to the hon. gentleman as, perhaps about as high an authority as can be adduced. Every person knows that a large portion of = agricultural production can only be consumes in ourhome market; that, as there isa large amount of the farm that can only find profit- able consumption in home consumption, that is not susceptible of beng sent abroad ee: very great injury, it will be at once seen, W nat every farmer inthis country appreciates, that the greatest value that his farm can racelve Is the building up ef a manufacturing industry i his neighborhood, by which he will havea home market, ant have a sale for the products of the farm, without being put to a great cost in their transport. Then, every person knows perfectly well that every pound, every bushel of grain that comes out ot the United States into this country tfor consumption, displaces a pound or a + bushel of Canadian grain, and compels our farmer, instead of finding ahome market {for his crop, to export 1. Every pound or bushel that is consumed in Ontario of corn or grain that comes from the United States displaces that much of our own consumption, and compels the Canadian far- mer to seek, at greater cost and difficulty of transport, three thousand miles away, his mar- ket that otherwise he would find at home. What we want is as free a trade as the | nited States chooses in relation to these matters.
Mr. Mills: { would like to ask the hon. gentleman a question. The hon. gentleman gaid, a short time ago, that he was in favor of Reciprocity. I would like to know, if we “ Reciprocity, what would be the condition o the farmer under these circumstances -
Mr. Tupper: Weill, Sir, all that I cau say is, that the hon. gentleman shows a very limited knowledge of the whole question. What the Conadian farmer asks is a fair field and no favor. ‘He asks that, if his bushel of barley is met on the frontier of the United States with a duty of fifteen cents a bushel, the corn that comes out of the United States i ite Canada shall not come in free. He asks that the storehouses of the distilleries shall not be crowded with American corn, brought in to displace the products of the soil of Canada. I am not much acquainted with whiskey, but I believe that with a great many people old rye is a familiar beverage quite equal to whiskey made from corn. | believe that there is a very large portion of this country that is not well adapted for anything else, that is admirably adapted for the growth of rye ; and I want to know whether it would not be better to clear up the land and grow rye upon It, than bring American corn for the mannfacture of whiskey into the country free of duty; If think the hon. gentlemen will find that, ‘jas far as the agriculturists are eancerned, they understand this perfectly well. They would be quite sa- tistied with a Reciprocity Treaty that would wive them free access to the markets of the United States for their products, but they are uot believers in one-sided Free Trade.”
We may remark, incidentally, that there does not seem to be any foundation what- ever for the fear entertained by many and excited to the utmost by the Patriot—that if United States flour, ete., is shut ont of the Dominion until such time as the United States give us Reciprocal Free Trade in agricultural produce, the price of flour will Maritime Provinces.

ris certainly strange-—passing strange that the Patriot—‘the Organ of Liberal- lism” ()—is stirring up a feeling against Mr. McKay because he—representing a District largely Roman Catholi¢é—declined to second a motion in reference to the Orange Incorporation Bill. Judging by its professions, one would imagine that the Patriot held ‘‘Liberal”’ ideas of representa- tive Government. But when it sharply censures a representative because he de- clined to take an active part in direct op- position to the well understood wishes of his constituents, we have the best evidence in the world that its professions are false.
As to the “‘ liberal ideas” of the Hon. Mr. Stewart. who, without a word of warn- ing, tried to entrap Mr. McKay to act, in his Legislative capacity, im a manner un- worthy of an honorable representative, they must be rather oblique.

Starch Manufacturing Company.
We publish the following Circular with readers—especially wealthy farmers—to the Starch manufacture which it is proposed to We understand that farm- ers taking stock in the ‘‘Starch Manufac-

turing Company” will be given a prefer- nce, and will secure a constant and sure home market for their potatoes. Farmers are particularly interested in this enter- prise ; for, if it succeed—as it should—we will, in a few years, have other factories to furnish a home market fer one of their principal products :— CHARLOTTETOWN, March 27th, 1878.
Six, —A Company is in process of formation for the purpose of manufacturing Starch from Potatoes. ‘The Capital required is $25,000.00, —in 1,000 Shares of $25.00 each. One-third of the Shares has already been taken up, and steps are being taken to get the Company in- corporated by Act of Parliament during the present Session.
Judging from the large profits realized by other Starch Factories throughout the Domin- ion and the United States, there is eyery rea- son to believe that this one will yield a very handsome profit on money invested in it, as the price of potatoes is much lower here than elsewhere, the facilities for shipment are greater, and in no respects are the conditions inferior.
The advantages to the Island, generally, of a Starch Factory would be ‘very large; the large cost of exporting potatoes, and the large yearly loss, by damage, of perishable cargoes, would, in a great measure, be avoided. There would be larger returns from a manufactured article, and a new industry opened out would stimulate trade, and be beneficial to all classes,
To the farmer it would be especially advan- tageous, as the large supply required would offer a steady and reliable market for his po- tatoes, the sales of which are now dependent upon foreign requirements, which are not of a steady nature,
The valuable premises known as the Spring Park Brewery, Charlottetown, have been secured, and the extensive premises, wih steam power and plant thereon, can be readily adapted to the purpose required.
One-third of the money for the Shares ap- plied for is tobe paid on June Ist, 1878, in order that preparations may be made to com- mence work in the Fall; the remainder will not be required until October Ist, 1878.
Application for Shares are to be made in fill- ing up the enclosed form, and forwarding it to the Address of Messrs. HyNpMAN Bros., Charlottetown.
be increased in the Why do we say there is no such fear! Be- cause the price of flour is, all over America, regulated by the flour market of Great Britain. Everyone knows that our mer. chants always look to the quotations of Liverpool and London for the prices of the
portionate prices. Yesterday flour was PROVING! AL LEGISLATURE. ‘¢down” in Liverpool and flour was “down”? | ——_-e————— vet in Charlottetown; and our flour merchants looked “down.” ‘To-day flour is ‘‘up” in| | Liverpool. Perhaps there is a better pros- pect of war in Europe and the price of flour is “‘up” a dollar a barrel. Instantly every flour merchant in Charlottetown adds a dol- lar a barrel to the price of his flour, and, if he has a thousand barrels, congratulates himself that to-day he is richer by a thou- sand dollars than he was yesterday. Every- ome is familiar with this fact. Then how would the imposition of a duty upon United States flour affect us? We get our flour from Ontario free of duty ; and the price of Ontario flour is, from day to day,—aye, from half ‘day to half day,—regulated by the prices existing in Great Britain at the : same time. Under the policy foreshadowed | by Dr. Tupper, the Maritime Provinces will simply give the wheat growers aud flour merchants of Ontario the advantage of their

A Goop Reconp.——Few of our Island ves- sels can show a better record than the barque Ralph B. Peake. She was launched in 1876, and was taken in command by Captain Andrew Hoban, a master whose energy and skill does honour to our Island seamen. Her first trip was to Charleston, 8. C., and thence to Liverpool with a cargo of cotten, where she arrived in 20 days. In the January of 1877 she sailed for Tybee, where we find her in February, after 47 days passage. In Savannah she ioaded with lamber, and ‘after a voyage of 108 days ar- rived in Callao, Peru. From Punto de Lo- bos she sailed with a cargo of guano for Queenstown, niaking the passage in the un- usual space of 83 days. In less than twelve months the Rulph Peake has completed her round trip, and rounded the Horn twice. She is a barque of 756 tons, well and care- fully huilt by the firm of Messrs. Peake Bro’s & Co.. and commanded by a captain who knows what his craft can do, and can can make her do it.— Herald.
