HORSESHOEING.

HAVING secured the services of MR. WIL- LIAM TUCKER, a native of this Isiand, who has had nine years’ experience as a Horse- shoer in the United States, I am prepared to supply # long-felt want in this line. Mr. Tucker has reduced horseshoeing to a science, and is prepared to perform all classes of work in a common-seuse and scientific manner. I need not inform the intelligent horseowner that the gait of the horse and condition of the feet must be understood to weight a horse properly and to successfully operate thereon. Numerous patrons already admit the merits of the work performed, and recommend his system of shoeing.

Customers can aiways depend on prompt attention and entire satisfaction.

The Trade Issue.

A BUSINESS MAN TALKS TO THE FARMERS IN A BUSINESS WAY.

Sirx,—-Again we are called upon to decide at the polls the important question, viz.: Whether ‘the National Policy has been or is likely to be a benefit to the Dominion. In discuss-

ing a question of so much importance absolutely necessary for us to take

A BROAD AND UNSELFISH

MA LER.

We must ever bear in mind that we form « part of a great Dominion which, during the last few years, has carried most of its vast undertakings to a successful issue. The solid stand taken on all great questions, the efforts made to encourage home industry, and a self- sustaining independence, go to show us that there has been a governing power at our head who have all contidence in the future gvreat- ness of our country. That Canada, as a whole, is prospering under the National Policy, is not to be disputed. There always was, there will always be, cranks who will be everlast- ingly crying ‘‘ hard times,” and prophesying the doom of this country and other countries, vf one industry and another industry, but not- withstanding this, it is plain to be seen by in- telligent business men that we are steadily moving forward, and that while we were pass- ‘ing through a succession of years of general business depression the world over, we had

VIEW OF THE

fewer failures, with smaller liabilitics, than any 66 Old London ” other country, and to-day we are only com- !

mencing to realize our advantages and the possibilities that are in store for us. It has been rightly conceded by the Lower Provinces that the National Policy has been A BOON TO THE UPPER PROVINCES,

‘and has given an impetus in the right direc- tion which has redounded to the welfare of all trade centres there ; but Grits here argue

| that while it is benefitting them it is crushing

‘us and we want none of it. Now, I canted _we were a part of the Dominion, and neither ia Liberal Government or a Conservative one /can or will separate us froin that fact ; neither ‘will they allow one policy to be'formed for the Lower Provinees aud one for the Upper. | Then it is clear that, kick as we may, we are ; compelled to throw in our lot with the whole of Canada and sink or swim with her. In

that case, does it not behoove us to take ad- vantage of what is within our reach and make

the most of it. Bear in mind, [ don’t admit that it would be better for us were we separa- ted from the rest of the Dominion, or had free trade with the United States, but 1 want to impress the point that the former we can never have and the latter we are never likely to have. Then, looking the matter fairly in jthe face asit bears on us directly, we may

‘well pause a moment and ask ourselves, after all, whether or not the benefits to be derived from free trade have not been over-estimated if not altogether imaginary. Our principal

| products are Oats, Eggs, Fish, Potatoes and Now, Free Trade would not help in

We have free trade in eggs now, so that there would be nothing gained there.

FISH.

If we had free trade our waters would be swarmed with American fishermen, and the trade almost altogether monopolized by them, They would be here during the fishing season and leave us as soon asit wasover. They

would look upon our Island as a handy little

fishing station.

POTATOES. The Americans are every year growing raised more than sufficient for their home con- sumption. To-day cargoes of Island potatoes are laying under heavy expenses in Boston and New York, and no sale can be had for them even at a heavy loss. Then we conclude that a year that they grow more than they can consume they have no need for our pota- toes at any price, and when there is no duty it would simply mean that the consumer would be benfitted and the gain to us would be noth- ing. Again. A year that the crops in the States are a failure we argue the consumer pays the duty; for instance, they must have our pota- toes, and they have no other way of getting them than coming to Canada and buying them and paying the 15 cents duty. Now we must have

TEA.

We have to look outside of our own country for it. Our Government wisely admit it in free, but should they put a duty of 5 cents per pound on it would it not cost us that much more? All Grits will readily admit that. Then caa it be paid twice, both by the consumer and the producer? In other words,

i

effect the price in China? Then, if it would not,—-how is a duty of 15 cents per bushel charged on our potatoes going to affect the price here when the American consumer in reality pays that duty? Again, does the duty of 15 cents per bushel protect in any way the American farmer? Certainly! Noone but what will admit that point. But you say at the expense of the consumer. Yes! true ! PORK.

Where would be the advantage of free trade to us in this line? In 1885 there was import- ed into Canada from the United States near thirty-four million pounds of pork, valued at about two million two hundred thousand dol- lars, besides this there was eight thousand four hundred and sixty-eight live hogs, valued at seventy-three thousand and twenty-three dollars. And yet farmers you whine about a duty on potatoes, and forsooth tell us you have no market in Canada for anything raised here. What we want instead of free trade is a higher duty on pork. Another two dollars per barrel would enable our merchants to pay, even while pork isas low as it is abrvail, fully six and a half cents per pound instead of five as itis now, Whocan estimate the ad- vantage of such an extra duty to Prince Ed- ward Island? How are we this year with our barns full of grain and our cellars full of potatoes, and yet allowing the Americans to step in and supply the market, which rightly belongs to us, with millions of pounds of pork, that can be raised profitably and to great ad- van on the Island. There is ne reason why the quantity of pork exported from the Island should not treble itseif in a short time. There is no reason why Canada should not raise all the pork which is required. we had tree trade American pork would be retailed at our very doors.

beef. The bulk of this went to Nova Scotia, a market surely as near us as itis to Ameri- cans,

WHAT WE SHOULD po.

Instead of crying now for Free Trade let us advocate for this further duty on pork of say two dollars per barrel and two cents per pound, and for a moment calculate the im- mense advantage such a duty would be to us. We export yearly on an average of about fifteen thousand barrels of pork and one mil- hon pounds of lard, ham and bacon. This, at say $4 per barre! duty, end 4 cents per pound ham and hacon would return in the snug sum of one hundied thousand every year, and which as I say,could easily be trebled in a very short time,

THAT NOT ALL.

That is not all the advantages either which would be derived from it. Every farmer knows that the more of the product of his farm he feeds to stock the better position it leaves him in to raise a larger crop the fol- lowing year.

BUSINESS.

~ ~-_-- - Wanted A Chance to Speak. Sin,—There isa Mr. Currie in Sovris East

who desires to unbosom himself on the poli- tical situation. He has attended a number of the political meetings lately held in this end of the County, and has even stood on the plat- form in some cases, and yet no person has asked him to speak. It is rumored that he has some little story about a woolen sacque to relate, and if he dves not get it olf, there is no foretelling what may happen. Mark Twain tells of a man he met with out West, who had an anecdote to relate, and the anecdote hap- pened to be one which Mark had heard several times before. In fact, he had heard it so often that he felt his health giving way under its repetition. The man undertook to relate the anecdote, When Mark remonstrated, re- marking that he was then but the melancholy wreck of his former self—that that story had fairly sapped his strength. The stranger, not quite understanding the situation and being full of his story, commenced again, whereupon Mark, in self-defence, sprung to his feet and, with clenched fist, told him to proceed at his peril. The story was cut short and the man died on the spot. Mark says that the anec- ' dote killed him, and I have no desire to con- | tradict Mark. With such an example before jus, I think, on the whole, it would be better to let Mr, Currie get his sacque story off. There is no sense in cramping a man too much in election times.

He has lately been in the employ of Matthew, McLean & Co., but whether he got the ‘‘sack” from there [ cannot say. One thing, however, is certain—the present Dom inion Tariff doesn't suit him. For years he has been growling about the Tariff—and all unknown to Sir John!

3ut is this the Mr, Currie who did business in Charlottetown during Mackenzie's Admin- istration’? If so, he must have had the Tariff to suit him then, and should have prospered. His creditors, however, were not satisfied with his prosperous career, under his favorite Tariff, and rather plainly insinuated that he had better retire.

Electors here, as elsewhere, look upon strangers, without a particularly good record, |as foolish and impertinent to offer advice or 'suggestions at election times. But I think | the sacque story should be told.

Yours truly,

Blake's Manifesto. Hon. Edward Blake is about issuing a {manifesto to the electors. The manifesto is in poetic form—a verse for each one of the eight provinces of the Dominion. After the manner of Baron Tennyson he bas had a preliminary edition published to see how the people would stand it. This is how he addresses P. E. Island:-

The Patriot recently made a serious charge —that circulars were being prepared in the | Herald office for distribution on the eve of election in districts where they would be likely to do the most good. The Herald args “ad and emphatically denied the charge 'but the Liberal organ had not the manliness , to apologize, and more than that, it allows its ‘correspondents to keep up the ‘circular ” insinuations. If any circulars are being pre- ‘pared, itis quite apparant that they will emanate from the same source as did the famous, or notorious documents thot ‘‘kicked” so badly at the last local election, and that ‘their authors are trying to fasten suspicion jupon a guiltless journal, in order the more ‘easily to cove: up their own nefarious doings, |The Patriot should be the last to mention | circulars, but it seems to forget how clearly and undeniably the Herald traced back the origin of the now celebrated Orange circular to its authors — the Orange Liberals of Charlottetown and elsewhere.
