I session last tariff permanency was necessary, that taritf reform was more or less dangerous, and he was opposed tothe tinkering he had promised the Cobdenites to carry on. But even this obvious trimming of the sails to catch the applause of an audience is eclipsed by the preterential contradic- tions. Whatcan be said of a soan who declares in London, Ont., that he wants preferential trade because it will do us good, and in London, England, that he is opposed to it because it will do us harm ? Surely Sir Wilfrid thinks that the average intelligence in Canada is extremely low. Passing from the contradictione, Sir Charles pointed to a circumstance that

it appear that there ever lived in this Canada of ours a man bearing the name John A. Macdonald. But while the Premier kept in the background the fathers of tbe country. he pushed himself contioually forward, more especially as the opponent of anything in the shape of a tar ff preference fur Canada, He was eloquent on the subject of his benevolerce to Great Britain, a benevolence which consisted of raising the duties on British goods and then droppiag them just enough to leave them a fraction higher than they were before. But when Canada’s interests were at issue he wss antagonistic to the granting of any con- cession tons. This is the pivotal point of the now celebrated tour. It is important to observe that Sir Charles Tupper, who has been right from the first on the entire question of the treaties, stands out in op- position to Sir Wilfrid’s unhappy cam-

There was sufficient discussion to throw aclear light upon the salient points of each matter that was dealt with; and each case was dealt with upon its own merits.

A resolution was passed iu respect to this which our Provinciel Government and Legislature will do well to ponder. How legislators professing to be enlight- ened and prudent could pass a law which

trade, which cannot be fairly imposed, which is utterly at variance with the principle of union and the co-operative action of the provinces of Canada, and which makes Prince Edward a bye word and a subject for contempt throughout the Dominion all for the sake of two or three paltry thonsands of dollars a year— we cannot imagine. We sincerely hope that it will, at the first opportunity, be wiped off the statute book. The Board readily decided to exert its influence with the Dominion Government in an effort to procure an additional winter steamer for service between this province and the mainland, and also an improvement in our telegraphic service.* As to the first of these requirements, we feel sure that the Board wilt be successful. The duty of providing efficient means of winter communication is so clear and the success of the Stanley so certain, that the Government bas no good excuse for a refusal to provide a second winter steamer. But the sug gested purchase of the Anglo-American Company’s telegraph line to this Pro- vince necessarily involves the _princi- ple of Government ownership of all telegraph lines, and is therefore a matter

of greater importance and difficulty. The Government may easily, however, carry

the desire of the the Board into effect by

the addition of afew thousand dollars to

the annual subsidy paid the telegraph

company. Concerning the suggested

compulsory regulations in respect to the

inspection of pickled fish and the marking

of the weight of canned goods on the aut-

side of each package, the desirability is

right on the trade question before, is right now. The people were deceived by Sir Wilfrid when he pretended in his London speech to favora preference. They will not be deceived agsin.

As the Toronto Liberals are trying to persuade the Conservativesto join in theirdemonstra- tion to the Premier, the Free Prese would have been wiser to have restrained the im- petuosity of its partizanship for a time.

the consumer ought tofbe, as far as possible, assured that the goods he buys are of fall weight and of equal quality throught the barrel or package. During the course of the meeting a good deal was said by ex~president Troop and others regarding the cultivation of a broad spirit of interprovincial co-operation. We have no doubt that the Maritime Board of Trade | will be influential in abating Provincial prejudices and jealousies and promoting a Jarge-handed and generous, as well as an honest and honorable, manner of business. 80 it will be well worthy the support of nsiness men and all the local Boards of Je throughout the country.

MEETING OF FARMERS.

Breeder’s Association and Herd Book, |

A meeting of farmers and others was he'd in a tent on the exbibition grounds at half-past one o’clock today. The Presi- dent of the Exhibition Association occupied the chair.

After explanations by Mr. Holmes, the secretary, concerning the object of the Maritime Breeders Association,

Mr. Wade, of Toronto, Secretary of lation, addressed

the | Outario Breeders Assor tae meeting and s% “The registration of o: e book only in the Dominion cf Canada siny subject on the present occasion. Ic is well known in Great Britain, the Un-

is als» another fact that the Vomnoo Shorthorn lation is the highest ot aU Fhort bye ro Herd book in tbe wrid. Short horn auimals recorded in it, are eligible for any herd book. In 1886, at the amalgama- slice british more cross an imported cow,

uop of the then two

and

those that trace to importation of both sireand dam. We have been aware that each of the three Maritinie Provinces

were recording the animals of their own proviace either by the government or by private parties but we have recently neard, with alarm, that the three Maritime Provinces were co-templating organizing

|a joint record for the above named provinces. We think thir would be a fatal mistake on their part as one

Herd Book ia the Dominion of Canada, for each breed, isenoug. It can be published much cheaper for the breeders than two or more can, and wi]! save the expense of re- cording youran'mals over again in case they are sold-to any other province, and will make a much better advertising medium than ifthey were only in a Provincial book. A three cent stamp will take pedigrees to Toronto, the same as it will to either Halifax o: Fredericton. Also being recorded in tne Dominion Book will entitle you to have thet animal recorded in the American Book by just sending in the certifisate which is not the case with the other books.

Now to conyince you that our trip to you with the olive branch is not a local or selfish one, but in the inerest of the breeders of short horns in the Maritime Provinces as well, [ will say that we have come prepared to give you all the privi- leges possible. In the first place, we thou zbt that if your province would join the Short Horn Breeders Association, that we would record all vour animal+ at members rates; but on se ond thoug! t3 we found it woula not be satisfactory as only one set of Herd Books would come into your Province whereas all breeders would have them. So instead of tha: we will try and re- duce ths fee for membership to $2.00 per annum 80 that it will be in the power of every one to join the Association and get a volume of the Herd Book for each yearly payment. It has been thought by some, that we tax the breeders overmuch; but it must be remembered that it is only in the last year, or so that our bank balance bas been to the right side of the ledger. Since that time we have lowered the members ree from $4.00 to $3, and the penalty fees materially, and as I have said before most likely at our next annual meeting the mem be1’s fee will be further reduced. We have also proposed to admit pedigrees from your local records that will pass our standard into our book free of charge, so that you can register your young stock without more expense than you would in your own book, thus giving you the berefi: of recording along with anima's from Oatario, Quebec, Mani- toba, the Northwest Provinces as well as

the satisfaction of knowing that if your animals were sold to an adjoining or dis-

tant province or a foreign country that your certificate of registration would be acknowledged by that place.

The time may not te tar distant when this demand will arise,as at the present time from Halifax to Vancouver the good news of better times aud better prices has been whispered, and we hoe you will all be prepared, when that time comes, to make your sales without the trouble of recording from your provincial books into the Dominion. It only required a trip around your lovely Island to convince me that no better stock country can be found in any land,

It will be in the recollection of many of of you that some years ago there were three short horn herd books pi blish- ed in the United States, and that it coat the breeders in that country about $80,000 to amalgamate them. It will be the same in this country should you be unfortunate enough to establish a maritime register. What I say about short horns also apples to other breeds. One book in the Dominion of Canada is enough for any ove breed.

Weare much pleased that you have formed an association in these provincee, asagrat deal of gooi and inforn a ion can be derived from them. By looking after vour interests, in various ways, such ae showing cattle ten days instead of five, and a thousand and one other things 21n

be discussed by your association that will add to the benefit of your herds, and consequently to the breeders themselves. One other subject appears to me to be an important one: whether it is wise to

| give up the beef breeds altogether or the

inilk breeds, as both are so useful in this country.

Mr. Arthur Johnson, President of the Ontario Breeders Association then addressed the meeting at considerable length setting forth the advantages of ex- bibitions and breeders associations, and strongly urging the consolidation of all the Short horn herd books into one book for the whole of Canadaas a measure of mutual benefit and importance.

Mr. William Linton, of Ontario, sup- ported the same V ew in a vigorous and eloauent apeach.

Mr. C.C. Gardner, related what had been done by himself, in respect to the formation of a herd book for Shor horns and Ayrshires in this Province aid expressed himself as quite in accord with the views of previous speakers,

Hon Peter Sinclair spoke in the effect.

Mr. Wright, of Outario,on being called upor,>xpressed his great pleasure in being

He said that the system of exhibition followed here is the best and most thorough syst m he had ever seen, and he congratulated the president and members of the Exhibition Association on the grand work they have done for P. E. Island. He urged the formation of a Breeders Association and united action on the part of farmers for the promotion of their general interests. Mr. Frederick Bovyer, of Georgetown, stated the difficulties under which breeders here labor in respect to the transportation of stock in the absence of through rat-s. He moyed the following resolution ; ‘Resolved that while fully approving of the foritiatioi of & Maritime Breeder’s Association for the Maritime ‘Provinces, it ia the opinion of this meeting that there

Mr. Gardiner suggested that the resolu- tion be amended by making it refer to all breeds of cattle. He thought that there should be but one herd book for each of the breeds,

The amendment was accepted by the mover,and the resolution, as amended, was seconded by Hon. Peter Sinclair and carried unanimously.
