remarks

nions the Advocate has obtained is in the aame direction as that of Tuw Examiner, Such a large and complicated enterprise, requiring so much capital and credit, neces sitating such # wide and intimate know- ledge of the markets and such constant study or all the conditions and prospects, is one into which farmers, however intelli- gent, may well hesitate to put their money. Atall events they should know all about the breeding of hogs that will produce the the

Ia reapect to the purchase of necessaries for the farm, the co-operation of our farm- ers should, we think, as far ag possible, take the form of c@-operation with our local resident manafecturers and men of business. These men, who makeup the populations of our towns, afford by far the beat, and surest, aud safest market for our farmers. They are here, and they muat live while here; and our farmers supply them at much less expense, and at much better general advantage, than they cau supply the people of Kngland or the United States or any otber distant coun- try. They are, therefore, men to be en- couraged to stay here. The more we have of them the better—the more there are to supply with food; while, forced to compete

among themselves, they must of necessity cnt down the prices. But if not encourag ed, and it allowed to gv away, our farmers will both lose their patronage and be placed at the mercy of outside traders. If we bad not anoug uesuch mao as Mark Wright & Co., Joan Newson and A. C. Compton, of Summerside, is it likely that we should obtain furniiure as cheaply as wedo?

THE PATRIOT’S MISREPRESENTATION.

Tue Patriot of last evening says :

“It must be remembered, too, that this Yukon railway is being built without adding adollar to the debt of Canada. The tories added cver $100,000,000 to the debt of Cauada between 1880 and most of woich was for the C. P. R., monopoly.”

Let us examine this statement. In 1880 the net debt of Can-~

So that the addition was...... $ 88,679,846

Or $11,320,354 less than The Patriot bas stated it, although it includes $10,199,- 520 for which land was taken from the C, P. B. This addition was at the average rate of $7,398,320, and for this sum we have the Canadian Pacific Railway—one ofthe wonders of the worli—a great en- largement and improvement of the Canale, and new ard important public works and buildings ia every quarter of the country.

Now look on the other side of ths

And there is practical’y nothing to show for the money.

The Jate government went into debt and obtained those great meane of which the whole country is now

improvemente by

profiting, and which are enabling it to in- crease its volume of trade with the return of better times in the markets of the world. The present government—in g'aring op~ position to their pre-election promises— is running into debt, though doing nothing in comparison with their predecessors.

As tothe Yukon tramway, it is not built yet. Butthe government have already given away—to the extent that they are able to do so—anincalculately rich terri- tory, four or five times as big as this Pro- vince, in order that it may be built ; while know one knows the costto the country, conatruction wili i.v-lve or the amount that will added to the debt of the country account of it.

The Patriot says: * Not much thanks | to them when they did it by Jergely ir- | creasing the taxes of the people and ine debt of the Dominion. Let us see. In 18.9 the taxation per head otf the people of Cawada was $4 37, while in 1895 it was $5.02 a difference of but sixtyative

—Zole is “quietly doing his time.” Political prisouers in France are trea~ ted with the utmost indulgence. They are sent Sainte Pelagie, where a special wing is reserved for them. The journalists, cericaturists, or advanced politicians who come to this novel prison are immediately introduced to the Governor, who politely receives his guests and bids them welcome. The prisoners are free inside the great prisov, going and coming as they piease, and paying visits toeach other. There is &® canteen where tobacco, pens, paper, cheese, coffee, milk, and wine can be pur~ chased. Brandy, liquors, and the daintest luxuries can be had from the outside by naving. All the cells are named, the best known being the “Big Tomb,” so-called because it ie a trifle dark. It has had many Ulustrious tenants—journalists, politic’ans, journalistic anarchists, theatrical! mana-~ gers, and editors. Drumond, the Anti- Semitic editor, spent six months there, for, as he eays, “writing a few words agaihst
