Sugar.
Tus Patriot's complaint is still heard in our land. Sugar is again the sweet subject of its wail. ‘Last year,” it says, ‘the duty paid on sugar imported into Canada amounted to $3,675,724.05." And, again, ‘In 1878 the duty paid in Canada on sugar was only $2,515,955.”
It must at once strike the reader of the Patriot that, taking into considering the increase of population in eleven years, the If leas revenue
L878 than in
difference is not very great. were derived from sugar in 1889, there must be more people to consume sugar now than then, or else ‘there must have been more poverty, and consequently greater inability to afford full supplies of sugar, thenthan now. Or both larger popula- tion and greater wealth may have operated to swell the amount of the duty received on account of sugar in the latter year. Cer- tainly the average of the sugar duties has not been materially increased.
The Patriot seems to forget that tea, sub- ject toa heavy duty then, is practically free of duty now. So that really less duty is now paid by the consumer on account of the cup which cheers but not
inebriates than was paid in the old “* Free
sweetened
times. both tea and sugar are cheaper
Trade ’
Fact is, now than then: consequently the taxpayer is in a better position in respect to them.
In reply to the question, ‘‘ Who are the monopolists of Canada?” the Patriot ad- duces the single name of “* Redpath, the Sugar King.” But Redpath was the sugar king of Canada long before it became une- cessary to frame a Canadian tariff as a means of defenceJagainst the selfish and aggressive policy of the United States. Redpath was then a monopolist indeed; the head of the only sugar refinery in all Can- ada,—a millionaire. Yet he was then com- pelled to close his tactory on account of the operation of the United States ‘* bounty system.” But now, under the new scale of duties, sugar is cheaper than ever, there are several factories in Canada, instead of one, there is no monopoly of the Canadian business, and the game of the United States sugar refiners has been spoiled. Perhaps the last enumerated fact is really the chief cause of the Patriot’s complaint. A very prominent member of the Patriot's party— Mr. Donald Farquharson, to wit—has had displayed in his show window on Queen Street a large and flashy stock of United States flags—the stars and stripes—marked with this device: ‘*PRorEcTION Te American Manvractrurers.” The honor- able and patriotic gentleman poses before the public as a *‘ Free Trader.” But the device on ** the stars and stripes ”’ expresses the true inwardness of the policy of his Party. If the tariff of Canada “fixed” in such a way thet Americans could refine the sugar that we consume, and manufacture the bulk of the articles that we use, and charge us what they please, the Patriot and its partisans would be happy.

~The army and navy of Great Britain, including pensions, annually cost $160,- 000,000. The same items in France, with a navy second only to that of Great Britain, annually cost $183,000,000 ; and the same items in the United States annually, at the present rate, cost $210,000,000. By far the largest part of this item is spent in pen- sions.
—It is pleasing to note that the Stipen- diary Magistrate is after the men who keep the “‘places” that have sprung up near Charlottetown. ne of these men was convicted yesterday. The fact that a number of the witnesses in the case were young women of bad character, will it is hoped, open the eyes of parents to the kind of nets that are spread in the way of their sons and move them to take an inter- est in the matter. Some of the young men implicated belong to highly respectable families. The Stipendiary Magistrate de- serves credit for prosecuting the owner of the place on St. Peter’s Road. There are other places on other roads, and we trust that Mr. Fitzgerald will give Messrs. Heard and Brown other cases to try.
—An official work, ‘‘Moral and Material Progress of India,” just issued in England, states that there are now 10,000 miles of railway in operation in that country, and the mileage is increasing at the rateof 800 or 1,000 miles anually. The railways yield anet profit, after payment of operating expenses, of 5 per cent. The rates are ex- ceedingly low, averaging less than a farth- ing a mile for passengers, while grain and coal are carried at a cent per ton per mile. Next in importance to the railways, as means of developing the natural resources of the country, come the irrigation works. The Government was responsible for irri- gating 12,000,000 acres in 1888, an increase of 1,500,000 over the preceding year. The irrigation works pay even better than the railways. From the works in Scind and some other regions the dividend is 10 per cent,, that from the great canals in Upper India, nearly 5 per cent.

E DAILY “EXAMINER,
Exhibition Notes.
The P. E. Island ‘Exhibitions held aun- nually at Charlottetown for many years past on the first Wednesday and Thursday of October, have always been looked for- ward to'with much interest. But never be- fore in the history of our Island has any event of this kind created such a deep and widespread interest among all classes of the community as is manifested in the great Exhibition of 1890, which opens at Char- lottetown on Tuesday, the 30th inst.
The long felt want of proper grounds and buildings for the proper accommodation of stock, as well as a larger and more suitable Exhibition Building for the proper display of agricultural and industrial exhibits with- in its walls has been amply provided for and pronounced to be the best in the lower provinces. .
On Monday, the 29th inst,. the Building and Grounds will be open to exhibitors for the placing of their exhibits in their various departments
Jndging in the industrial classes will commence on Monday afternoon.
Tuesday, the 30th, the Exhibition will be opened at 11 o'clock, a. m., to the general public.
Wednesday, Oct. Ist, and Thursday, Oct. 2nd, will be the two great days on the Exhibition Grounds and Driving Park.
At 8 o'clock on Wednesday evening, the Grand Concert will take plaee in the main building, under the direction of Rev. Mr. Lioyd, including grand piano and organ recitals by professionals.
On Thursday evening, at 8 o'clock, in the main building a grand promenade con- cert will take place, which will embrace several new features and events of more than ordinary skill and talent.
Friday, Oct. 3rd, at nine o'clock, pay- ment of prizes to successful competitors will be commenced, and at 11 o'clock, sharp, the grand parade of prize horses, second to none in Canada, will come off. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Exhi- bition will be closed, and all exhibits may be removed. The entries are being well filled in all classes, and the prospects are fair for a successful exhibition.
Entry papers are coming in very fast to- day from all parts of the country. To avoid the rush on the market days of next week, it would be well for Charlottetown exhibitors to send in their entry papers with as little delay as possible. Entries in all classes of the exhibition will be closed on next Friday evening, the 26th inst.

They Cannot Come.
Tue following letter has been received by Mayor Haviland from Admiral Watson,
in reply to the invitation of the directors of the Exhibition Association to Prince George of Wales and the Ad-
miral, to open our Provincial Exhibition. Every one will be sorry that we cannot have the presence of the Prince and Ad- miral on the 30th inst. We hope for better luck next time. The Mayor is to be thank- ed for his efforts in backing up the wishes of the directors. Bellrophon, at Quebec, 13th Sept , 1890.

Latest Mackeret News.—Shore fisher- men are picking up a few bloaters daily. About fifty sail of fishing vessels were anchored at Souris yesterday. They ran in for shelter the night before, and remained till the storm subsided. Since Sunday last all the fleet got mackersl ranging from 10 to 20 barrels each. They were caught about half way between East Point and Margaree. Some of them are wheppers, 108 by actual count, filling a barrel, The Harry J. French, Capt. Keene, got twenty bar- re!s sincesSunday. The Emma W. Brown, Capt. J. McFarlane, 15 barrels; the F. 8. Nicker, Capt. Payson, 20; the M. L. Wetherall, Capt. T. Hall, 30; the Nut- wood, Capt. Lord, 30. The Critic is also at Souria along with the fleet. The Stanley has been keeping watch in the vicinity of East Point for the last few days. Some of the American skippers freely admit that if they had the old time privileges on this coast they would have their full fare before this. All they want this year is to be al- lowed to set in four fathoms of water. If they were allowed this privilege, it would be all the better for them, but all the worse for our Island fishermen.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Reply to ** Mentor.”
Sin,—‘* Mentor’s” letter, in your issue of Tuesday, anent the singing of young Harry Anderson at Mr. Waller's concert, was as gratuitous as it was unkind. The child’s performance was in the abstract most creditable to him, as well as to those
who have had the care of his voice. His age is such that the day is not far off when, in the
interests of his voice for the future, it will be necessary for him to cease singing en- tirely. f
the young vocalist, he would certainly (sup- posing he had a word of advice to offer, and again supposing that there was any ground for same) have visited him in the privacy of his home, and said his wise say. With regard to what ** Mentor” has said
that the use of the falsetto, or upper re- gister of the human voice, is not forbidden,

— | Horse Ranching in the Northwest.)
(Moncton Times.)
Dr. Jenkins, ex-M. P. P. for P. E. ls- land, passed through Moncton this week on his way from the Northwest to his former home in Charlottetown, P. E. Island, where he will spend the winter. Dr. Jenkins took up his ranch about four years ago, and stocked it with seven thoroughbred trotting stallions from the East, and about 50 bron- cho mares. He has sold off some of the stallions and quite a number of one and two-year-olds, and has now about two hun- dred head of horses on the ranch. He is of the opinion that ranching prospects in the Northwest are good, and with careful management success is certain.
In reply to the question, ‘* What-is your opinion of the Northwest as a horse-raising country ?” he said :
‘*] believe it to be the best in the world. In Southern Alberta, with which | am’most familiar, there is no trouble in raising horses without stabling or shelter of any kind, and without providing a single mouthful of feed.,’
** Can you raise horses of good quality in that way?”
‘*Yes ; my experience has been suflicient to solve that problem. By judicious selec- tion of Western mares and mating them with choice Eastern sires, the very best stock can be produced, and they thrive yas- tonishingly. I have yearlings and two- year-olds from my Eastern horses, ‘that have never eaten a bite but what they picked up on the range, and they are as well developed, and, with a few day’s
care and handling, would be as fit to go into a show yard as the colts of the East, that have as much as they can eat of the best hay and oats.” **How are you off for maz surplus stock?” ts “There is at present a difficulty in that respect; but, | think, when Eastern dealers find that we can supply a first-class horse at a moderate cost, we shall have plenty of buyers. In the meantime we can ship our choice animals to the East and dispose of the less valuable lots at home or in Mani- toba.”
The Doctor says : No more difticulty is} experienced in grazing in the winter than! in the summer. ‘The snowfall is usually
light and the cold not intense. The mares— throw aside the light snow with their noses | to get at the grass; and if the snow is heavy | they paw it away, and break any crust that
might have formed. They soon teach their
colts how to obtain food, and do not lose: strength or flesh through the winter. The- Doctor is confining his operations to carriage . and saddle horses; but on other ranches
draught horses, from Clydesdale stock, are, being raised. He is confident of a great. future for Southern Alberta in horse-rais- | ing; and looks forward to a large export, trade to the Eastern Provinces and Great! Britain at no distant day.

"Twas a Man and a Soldier.
(Boston Globe.)
Just before the steamship Worcester left | Halifax Jast Saturday, bound for Boston, a hack drove rapidly up to the wharf, from | which the bystanders gallantly assisted two | neatly dressed young ladies. They were escorted aboard and every attention was paid to them and to their ample baggage. The wharf was crowded with government agents on the Jook out for deserters from the British Army, the average number of these gentry having lately amounted to 15 monthly. The Worcester once at sea the women referred to descended to the ladies’ cabin. The best looking of the two then approached the matron, took off a wig, bangs, and a lot of female paraphernalia and frankly declared that ‘** she” was Denis Finney, not by any means a woman, but a whole man, and a soldier at that. The kind-hearted stewardess gave Denis a place wherein to resume his natural guise, from whence in a very short time he issued forth —a very fine specimen of young English manhood, albeit a little short in stature. He was accompanied by his wife, a buxom Halifax girl, who, it is stated, concocted the whole scheme, trained the warrior, and finally landed him safe and sound in | Boston. Denis was quite the hero of an | otherwise foggy ard disagreeable trip,and , his plucky wife came in for a great deal of
