LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

a - —

A Nuisance.

Srra,-—I beg to call attention to the dis- gracefully dirty state of the street in front f Coftin’s grocery shop, on Graftcn Stre: t, East. There is a covered drain from Mr. Coflin’s house emptying on the open street, and the city men have emptied a lot of shes in front of it, with the object (I sup- pose) of absorbing the filth it discharges, and which the gutter is incapable of carry- ing away. This is only one instance of many like nuisances.

As a breeder of disease they are a!most equal to the festering cesspouls and privies, which are kept open (in detiance of the law) in rear of many of the buildings on our matin streets.

The smells of Charlottetown (always abominable) have increased since the in- troduction of waterworks ; and unless the city sees to the removal of some of the fermenting filth now poisoning the air, we will shortly find ourselves in the midst of an epidemic.

Yours, &c.,

SANITAS, *e- Currency and Value.

Sirn,—I have two or three times waded through ** Notes on Currency and Value,” in Saturday’s Examiner, and fail to see what the writer is driving at. Evidently, he is not a political economist of the John Stewart Mill stamp. Is he a green backer, or an inflated rag baby, or a conundrum, or what is he, anyway ? To use the words of a late New York correspondent of THe ExaMINer, ‘* how long has he been that way /’ The first paragraph reads: ‘* One of the most common and plausible falla- cies believed by politicians, as well as the public at large, is, that the more money there is in a country, the richer the coun- try-—or, in other words, the greater the volume of currency, the more prosperous the people.” England, France and Unit- ed States, you have lots of money; there is no prosperity among your people, on ac- count of your money. Throw it way. Russia, Italy, Spain and other such coun- trics, your people are prosperous because you have nomoneyand no credit. Don’t ac- cumulate money, or you will lose your prosperity. Terrible fallacy! Money is one thing; paper currency another. Gold has a standard value; articles of merchan dise fluctuate in value according to supply and demand. Paper currency fluctuates sccording to the credit or standing of its auchor (1 might say the supply-is unlimit- ed.) As with nations, so with individuals. If they have money, it is a sure sign of prosperity; but they might hold a million dollars in notes of the old Bank ci Prince Edward Island, and it would be a sure sign of the reverse.

When there is lots of real money, or its representative (a good bank note) in circu- lation, nobody but an out and out dyed in the wool Grit would say there is no pros- perity. I would advise Mr. Mellish tu go slow the next time—to try his hand at sume- thing easy.

Yours, &e., Otv Bank Nore.

The other day,the plough of a peasant in the Island of Gothland unearthed two large spiral arwlets, a buckle anda long bar used in payment, all of solid silver, together with nearly 400 silver coins. Some of the coins were Anglo Saxon and bore the efligy of King Ethelred. The others were Ger- man and Cufic coins,

The trial of Boulanger, who is safe and sound in England, is dragging its weary length along before the high court of the senaie. There was a tumult in the court a few days ago when the president refused to permit a reply to the charges being made by the procureur general. It is said Ma- dame Pourprie, late mistress of Boulanger, has made some important disclosures to Louise Michel regarding the general.

The Japan Gazette, received by the steamer Arabic, says that about 100 per- sons were drowned, 12,000 houses washed away, and about 2,500 acres of cultivated land seriously damaged in four of the seven cantons which suffered most from the over- flowing of the river Chikugo, in Fukuoka- kan, by the recent heavy rains. Relief funds have been started in various parts of the empire.

A reply has been sent to the request of the Montreal Star’s proprietor, who recent- ly petitioned for a reference of the Jesuits’ estates act to the supreme court. It is understeod that the reply fully sets out the reasons which prevent such a reference and the uselessness of such an irregular de- cision, if it were feasible to obtain it. The cheque is returned with an intimation that the government could not under any cir- cumstances avail itself of private generosity to meet the country’s expenses.
