LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Boston Letter.

(no. 2.)

Sirn,—If the speeches made durng the last election campaign are correctly report- ed, some of your Grit candidates have been either ignorantly or wilfully seeking to mis- lead the farmers. Some ot these speeches advocate the importation of farming ma- chinery free ‘r »m duty as being beneficial to the farmer. Surely your farmers are too sharpwitted to believe such bosh. Have you no foundrries or machine shops on the island fit to turn out all the iron gear re- quisite fur constructing reapers, mowers, rakes and all other farm implements ?/ What has become of McKinnon & McLean’s foundry! Where is White’s machine shop / Mr. White isas skilful a machinest and has as good a plant for carrying on his work as can be found in any part of the United States. He learned his craft in one of the best establishments on the Clyde in Seot- land; and no other place in the world turns out more skilful workmen nor better work in that line, than the iron and steel factor- ies of the Clyde. Probably there are one or more expert workers in iro: and steel in other parts of the Island.

artificers in wood to insinuate that they are unable to construct their part of such machines.

Some one may object that the Island lacks the wood adapted for such work. This is difficult to believe. But even if true, each and all of the other provinces have abundance of itand it can be imported free. Much of the wood used in such ma- chines in the States comes from Canada.

In view of the foregoing, it is evident

that you could construct all your own farm machinery of your raw materials, and with your own artificers, if only adequately pro- tected and encouraged so todo. Why, then, hand over to Uncle Sam so much of your money,since the Grits bewail that you possess so little of it / Uncle Sam employes scores of your men in making farm machinery and thus slily divests you, not of money only, but also of men and means which you can but ill spare. It needs no philosopher to show you that every man thus taken from you robs you of just as much money as he earns and spends. He patronises neither your farmers, trades- men, nor merchants ; he does not help to pay your taxes, nor uses any of your duti- able goods,and therefore indirectly inpover- ishes you municipal treasury, and you lose the pleasures and benefit of his sociai and religious influence.

Perhaps it may be objected that the farmer can buy Yankee machinery for less money than he can the home-made. Let us see. Both skilled and unskilled labor costs more here than on the Island or any cther part of the Dominion. The street repairer here, with no other plant or tool than a spade or pickaxe, gets $2 per diem, and the skilled mechanic from $3 to $5 or more. Ali the raw material entering into the construction of a machine costs more here. Why then, could not an Island master machine-maker construct a mower, reaper, raker, or any other farming gear for as little money as a Maine or Massachu- setts manufacturer of similar fabrications?

Besides, the home manufacturer will take as part pay, at least almost any or all the surplus products of the farm. He and his employes will require many and much of such products.

Is it not sheer folly then to argue that you should exempt such imported gear free from dfty. Better far to act on the opposite policy, and give your workmen and manufacturers a fair field to work and make a decent living.

It is premature to predict what revision or adjustment the National Policy may undergo after the new Parliament of the Dominion meets ; but be assured that the United States Congress would increase rather than diminish the tax in a case similar to the above, in order to protect the workman and enrich the citizen.

Free Trade, so called, appears plump and beautiful from the outside, but internally, scrutinized and tested, it isan addled egy, unfit for use and incapable of development.

Let us now have a peep at the pork busi- ness. It has been stated by a certain statisti- cian that Canada haslately bee): handing over about a million and ahai: dollars per annum to Unele Sam fer pork ; and yet | see it stated im some of ihe papers that P. E. Island had to seek markets in Europe for her surplus of the article. Now, if this is true, something must be out of joint in the state of business. Is Canada, a country proverbially agricultural, incapable of raising sufficient pork for her home consumption / If not, why not? Where lies the hin- drance j} The difficulty may be found in the present state of the tariff. The pork raisers of the United States are protected by a duty of one cent per lb. on foreign dressed pork, and twocents on ham and bacon. Would nota heavier duty than at present imposed on American pork, induce the farmers of the Upper Provinces to raise at [the least a sufficiency of it for do- mestic use? If not, the Island market is open for them, where they cau buy an ex- cellent grade of it free from duty. they not purchase it there, then, instead of giving away so vast an amount of their money to foreigners, who absorb it forever from Canadian circulation /

Whenever the Subway bisects the Strait, a rapid and commodious transit will be opened between all the principal markets of the whole Dominion. Then intercolonial commerce will assume a broader and more lucrative activity, and local jealousies wiil find no foothold whereon to rest.

Boston Markets. Marcu 14.

Porators—The market sustains a steady tone with a good trade. Houlton Rose and Hebrons command 63 to 65c. rer bushel. Other Eastern rule at 58 to 60c., and Northern at 53 to 55c.

Ecos—The market has ruled easy the past two days, with sales of Eastern extras at 18c., and firsts at 164 to 17c. perdozen. There isa good trade, but with increased receipts prices will probably be lower.

Fisu—The jobbing trade in Fish isnot up to expectat‘on, and Mackerel are a shade easier than last week. No. | are particularly slow, and sales of Nova Scotia have been made as low as $14 per barel, though $14.50 to $16 is still asked. Extra No. | are held at $18 to $22, but hard to sell. No. 2 are steady at $13 to $14, and No. 3 go off at about $9 per bbl. Receivers are inditferent about selling No. 2 and No. 3, except with No. 1. Receipts of Mackerel for the week ending Friday were 101 bbls., of which 19 bbls. were from the Pro- vinces.

The Largest Farm in the World.

In the extreme southwest corner of Louisiana lies the largest producing farm in the world. It runs 100 miles north and south, and many miles east and west, and is owned and operated by a syndicate of

Northern capitalists. Their general manager, J. B. Watkins, gives an in-

teresting account of this gigantic planta- tion, which throws the great Dalrymple farm in Dakota into the shade completely. **The 1,500,000 of our tract,” Mr. Wat- kins said, ‘‘was purchased in 1883 from the State of Louisiana and from the United States Government. At that time it was a vast grazing land for the cattle of the few dealers inthe neighborhood. When I took possession I found over 30,000 head of half- wild horses and cattle. My work was to divide the immense tract into convenient pastures, establishing stations or ranches every six miles. The fencing alone cost in the neighborhood of $50,000. The land I iound to be best adapted to rice, sugar, corn, and cotton. All our cultiva- tiny, ditching, ete., is done by steam power. We take a tract, say half a mile wide, for instance, and place an engine on each side. The engines are portable, and operate a cable attached to four plows, and under this arrangement we are able to plow thirty acres a day with only the labor of three men. Our harrowing, planting and other cultivation is done ina like manner; in fact, there is not a single draught horse on the entire place. We have, of course, horses for the herders of cattle, of which we now have 16,000 head. The Southern Pacific Railroad runs for thirty-six miles through our farm. We have three steam- boats operating on the waters of our own estate, upon which there are 300 miles of navigable waters. We have an ice house, a bank, a ship yard, and a rice mill.’”’—¥St. Louis Republican. — 2 > oe

Lesson of the Elections.

The Monetary Times, reviewing the po- litical situation after the smoke of batde has died away, says: ‘‘Whatever opinions may be entertained as to the course the leaders of the Opposition might have taken had power been transferred to their hands, there can be no doubt as to what the course of the present Gevernment will be. They will act upon the same broad general lines of policy in fiseal and commercial matters, that have characterized theiz administra- tion for some years past. All parties feel that in these respects the course of the Government is as- sured, And of all things, men who are engaged in business require assurance and certainty. Doubt paralyzes trade and enterprise. Men will never risk their money when there is a doubt as to the course of legislation. That such doubts existed, even amongst those whose political sympathies were with the Opposition, is certain. The assurances of the leaders were everywhere taken with large reserva- tion. They were judged not so much by what they would say under the exigencies of the moment as by the principles to which, as a party, they have long been committed. It was shrewdly judged that they would endeavor to carry out those principles as soon as eir- cumstances admitted of it; and the judg- ment no doubt is right. The election was simply the expressed voice of the great business community of all parts of the Do- minion saying, let things in the main go as they are. Not that this implies approval of mismanagement, or abuses or corruptions ; far from it. These things are not looked upon as a part of the policy of the Govern- ment, but as excrescences that may be cut off, and ought to be.” How to Promote Health.

After all that has been stated of the efiects of the atmosphere in high altitudes or at the level of the sea, the influence of forests and ocean, of sea coasts and inter- ior places, humidity and dryness, cold and heat, the winds, electricity, and ozone, and ino matter what of other co ditions, the | paramount considerations for the promotion ‘of health are an abundance of pure air and ‘sunshine and out-door exercise. Without these, no climate 1s promotive of health or propitious of the care of disease ; and with them, iS is safe to say, the human powers of accommodation are such that it is diffi- | cult to distinguish the peculiarities of any climate by their joint results on the health and longevity of its subjects.— Bell's ‘‘ Cli- matology.”
