LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

Butter.

Smr,— As the Commissioners meet Tues- day next to complete their work on the prize list for our next Exhibition, it is to

be hoped they will encourage the stock- raisers of this Province by giving them handsome prizes for the butter industry. It is well known that this industry is the key-stone to the improvement of our stock ,and farms. Sweet skim miik is invaluable to pork raising, which can be turned into cash quicker than anything on the farm. Calves cannot make good cows without plenty good milk, and farms cannot be en- riched and kept in first-class order without plenty good stock, well-housed in winter, and well cared for and fed all the year. Then, by all means give the butter manu- facturers some respectable encouragement to make a uniform good-keoping article, and the rest of the work will follow. There is always a market for good butter and ‘stock, and men always ready to ship at a | very small commission. Every farm on P. _E. I. should be a factory in itself for this | particular trade, and should have a brand (or trade mark, just as cotton and cloth ‘factories have their particular brands and trade marks. Then, whena farmer makes a good article he will not be compelled to sell his butter with his neighbour’s com- 'mon trash ; but by having his trade mark, /he can build up that particular mark and | get his own price. | 1 understand the Commissicners are talk-

| butter from Ontario ar Quebec. This is just what ouc farmers are asking for and it will be sure to double the exhibit in the butter department.

Two or three years of discussion such as we have had for the past six months, is going to save this Province thousands of dollars. By all means let the farmers and others interested in a Dairyman’s Associa- tion organiza at once. There is lots of room for improvement.

R. K. Brace.

A Convention.

Sirn,—In your issue of the 10th inat., there is an article calling for a convention

to choose a candidate for the coming election in this county, and the names of a number of gentlemen are mentioned as being suitable persons whowould not refuse the nomination.

Now, in justice, Dr. Jenkins, and he alone, should be spoken of at the present time. After contesting the county twice, and the last time all but suecessfully, no obstacle should be placed in his way from from ulterior motives. He is exceedingly

The “‘Globe’s” C. T. Act Commie- sioner.

—_

(From the St. John Sun )

Some time ago the Toronto Globe sent out & commissioner to make investigations into the working of the Canada Temper- ance Act In the Maritime Provinces. That commissioner has visited New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and P. E. Island, made his investigations in a fairly extended and care- ful manner and reported in a series of letters which have been published in the Globe. The final letter summing up and particularizing the conclusions arrived at is important as an indication of what an observer on a large scale thinks of the Act, its results, and the general temperance sentiment of the Provinces.

The first conclusion come to is that the temperance sentiment is far stronger in the Maritime Provinces than it is in Weatern Canada. We believe thia to be a true con- clusion, Several things have contributed to this end, and among them we may men- tion the greater homogeneity of the popu- lation, the lesser the influx of emigrants irom the old countries, and the very strong and extended and persistent preaching and practice of the principles of total abstinence and prohibition. For as to this latter it must be remembered that prohibition has been practically carried out in some of our counties for nearly half a century and in many of them for lesser periods.

Another is that the Canada Temperance Act promotes the growth of order, morality and sobriety in the community. Not that it has absolutely driven out the sale or use of liquors, for that it has not done, but that its influence is to make the traflic dis- respectable as being illegal, to make it more difficult of prosecution and to strengthen the better elements of society for its re- pression and final overthrow. The effect of repeated punishment and fine carried out as the result of a solemn decision of the people that the violation punished is a violation of what society deems best for its own highest interests, cannot but have the gradual and certain consequence of diminishing the num- ber of those who will act in opposition to society's mandate.

The third conelusion reached is that the uncertainty of the constitutional power of the law—an uncertainty which was not dis- pelled until June, 1882—and the many technical points raised by counsel and al- lowed to be taken to the Ruseesie Court for argument and then kept for decision term after term, have operated very seriously against the proper and efficient carrying out of the law. But that this is not the fault of the law, but rather the last dying strng- gles of a traffic which, having lost popular

‘approval, clings desperately to lega) quib-

bies for a few years of uncertain life, the Commissioner, as wel] as other sensible

popular and deservedly so with the great bulk of the people, and as the time since the last election has been too short for any material changes to take place, and the pre- sent contest is a partial one,there is not any necessity for putting the people to the trouble and annoyance of holding a conven- tion. Let themspend their spare time in fighting the Grits, and when the general election comes on a convention will be in order, but at present it is not needed, In regard to the gentlemen whose names are mentioned, it would be more than diffi- cult to induce any of them to either seek or accept the nomination under the present circumstances. Were they capable of doing so, were they so utterly devoid of honor, they would be unfit to represent their county, and would not receive the confi- dence or support of the people. The mem- bers of the Local Government are needed where they are at present, in order to hold their party well together and it is not to be supposed that they would injure it,in order to gain self promotion, even if Dy. Jenkins had not a prior claim, as he undoubtedly has. As to the gentlemen who are not members, they have been well provided for}: by the party, and are, no doubt, satisfied that others should now have a share. There is, therefore, no need whatever of calling a Convention, unless it be to cause disagreement. Let aspirants to honor in the Commons be patient an opportunity will present itself at the general election, and the peeople will choose the best and ablest men. At present it is but justice, and justice alone, that Dr. Jenkin’s should seceive the undivided support of all Liberal-Conservatives.

I am, yours, etc.,

LiperaL-ConsERVATIVE.

Queen's County, July 11, 1884.

The National vivision.

The reports ahows a net increase in membership of the order of 10,707 last year, and of 19,152 in the last three years. ‘This grand result,’ the report says, ‘has been reached through the cordial and con- tinuous co-operation of officers and in- dividual members of the several branches of the order, and under a wise and effective system which, through their agency com- mittee and their two exceptionally suc- cessful organizers, our Nova Scotian brethern seem to have been brought near- est to perfection.’ The greatest loss report- ed is that in Michigan of 997, and next ia Ohio of 572, The greatest gain reported is that in Nova Scotia of 4,449, and next in Ontario of 1,294; Massaschusetts gained 1,209. The total namhber of members, Dec, Slat last, was 66,570, of which 38,577 were admitted during the year 1883. This included 2,688 lady visitors. The- total cash recelpta of the order last year were $92,291, of which $12,207 was paid in benefits. The amount of cash on hand and invested, belonging to the Order, Dec. 3lst., was $146,293. In the death notices of representatives is that of P. G, W. P. Avard Longley, who was G, W. P. when the National Division previously met in Halifax twenty-one years ago. The financial statement showed National Divi- sion receipts last year of $6,904, which were equalled by expenset, bat the yoneral fand

men, plainly sees. When these points are al] settled, as they surely will be, the field for a fair operation and a fair judgment of the law will be open.

Then again the Commissioner concludes that the law suffered from lack of enforcing machinery. That was true, and the truth and force of it struck him all the more as coming in ¢ontact with the system of On- tario, where much machinery is provided for the full enforcement of their liquor laws. This machinery has, however, now been supplied by the Act of 1883, and when the appointed time for appeal and decision has passed we shall not only possess an Act intra vires, but enforcing machinery behind it sufficient for all its purposes.

The commissioner in contrasting the county with the towns, concludes that in the rural districts the sale of liquor has well nigh ceased, while in the towns its strength was shattered and its power hamp- ered, He did not believe that the charac- ter of hotel accommodation had deteriorated nor that the volume of business or the value of property had depreciated from the pas- sing of the Act, or that the burden of taxa: tion had increased from a loss of license revenue.

This testimony will be generally endorsed by unprejudiced and intelligent men in the Maritime Provinces, and will be of much service to the work for the adoption of the Act in Ontario.

The Merchants’ Shipping Act. It is evident that some apprehension is felt that the Merchant Shipping Bill, Mr. Chamberlain has at length introduced into the House of Commons, sa tae of its provisions Canadian shipping shou it uaveht law. Inquiries at t riheord ot Trade have, however, failed to elicit any further information as to the possible scope of the measure in this direction than is con- tained in the reply which Mr. Chamberlain made to a question by Lord ©. Ham pee Se coe oe weeks a aban therefore, not be unprofitable to re uce the official verbatim report of Mr. Cham- berlain’s words on the occasion. Lord C. Hamilton, it may be remembered, asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in the event of the Merchant Shipping Bill becoming law, it would in any respect bring within the scope of its provisions vessels belonging to Canada and ather of our colonies. Mr. replied: “Certain provisions of the Mer- chant Shipping Bill, e. g., those relating to compulsory pilotage, to detention and to inquiries, cannot spply outside the limits of the United ‘Kineton, but wili apply to Colonial vessels within’ those limits, Oer- tain other provisions, such as those rejeting to insurance, io jiability apd to age, which are not limited to the United _ ° dom, like existing provisions on the same subjects in Acts already passed, apply to all British ships, including ships belonging to Canada and the Colonies, subject, how- ever, to provisions in the Merchant Ship- ping Act which give to Colonial Legisla- tures, should they think fit to do so, power to alter the law with respect to ships regis- tered within their jurisdiction.”
