TH? WHATHER DOES,’ ee More “Free Corn.” ee Sir,- In the Weekly Patriot of the 20th inst., 1 see an article headed, ‘* Free Uorg,” in which that paper says THE Ex- LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Notes by the Way. Mr. Angus McDonald (Garahielia) of Pis- quid, showed your correspondent a very fine model of a vessel which he intends to build for James E. McDonald, Esq , mer- chent, Cardigan Bridge. The vessel will be 110 feet kee], 28 feet beam, and 124 feet depth of hold, and will register about 300 tons, AMINER and its cyggespondents take a very narrow view of the ‘* Free Corn” question. } As [ am one of the correspondents referred to I take the liberty of sending you afew. les in reply. If studying our own inter- ests can be called narrow-mindedness then ! am of opinion that the editor cf the Patriot is quite as narrow-minded as the farmers, but 1 do think our own interests is a first principle with all classes. The Patriot, like our Grit representatives at Ottawa, quotes reasons in favor of Nova Scotia and Quebec farmers obtaining free corn for stock feeding, but 1 defy him +o show one good reason why our only ats inarket in the neighboring Provinces should be destroyed by the importation of free Yankee corn. The Patriot then goes on to tellus what we all know, that growing outs impoverishes the soil, Notwithstand- ing this seven-eighths of our farmers must continue to grow it, and with free corn to-day we could not get more than twenty- live ceuts per bushel for oats. Doves the Patriot and our Grit representatives at Ottawa think the farmers are such fools as to believe it would pay to sell our oats at that price and invest the money in free Yankee corn! The Patriot editor himself has doubts of the success of the imporca- tion of free corn, as he says: ‘* Whatever might be the results of such an experiment in the Island, there is no doubt that the farmers of the other Provinces would bene- fit by free corn.” There it is again. Our Grit editors and Grit representatives at Ottawa advocate the interests of the other Provinces, but their voices and pens are not used to show one tangible reason as to how this Island would be benefitted by admitting Yankee corn free of duty, while these same Yankees tax our - potatoes fifteen cents per bushel. The Grits xbuse the National Policy and the Government for not giving a due protection to the inter- ests of us farmers, yet with that wonderful inconsistency which is at all times part and parcel of Grit reasoning, our Grit members at Ottawa and our Grit members here who back them up, do everything possible to de- prive the farmers of this Island of the little protection afforded by the National! Policy. No doubt if they could get the corn duty removed, as our Island represen- tatives at Ottawa have more than once attempted, and thus destroy our home market in the niighboring Provinces they would then, with their usual inconsistency, how! louder than ever at the N. P. for not protecting the interests of the farmer. If our Grit members at Ottawa had the welfare of the Province at heart, instead of their party exigencies, their voices would have been heard the other day (on Mr. Wood's motion for a return showing the quantity of pork, bacon, ete., imported into Canada) advocating an additional duty on American pork. If they would only secure us the home market (which, as every- one knows, is the best paying market,) for our oats and pork, we would be prepared to compete with the rest of the Dominion, notwithstanding the ‘*‘ cheap rates from the west ” that the Patriot accuses the C. P. R. of giving. ‘We do not fear our own North- west ; itisthe Yankee corn and corn-fed Yankee pork coming im duty free that would kill us. The Grit orators prate glibly about the advantages of Free Trade with the States, but secure us the home market for our pork and we can use all our potatoes and vats at home, making pork to take the place of the millions of pounds of hog products that are now driving ours out of the market. We would thus be con- suming ourown growth of potatoes and oats in making pork, and thereby be enrich- ing our soils, while we would be at the same time supplying the wants of our own mauufacturers, miners, lumbermen and fishermen, who even now, with these in- dustries only in their infancy, are the best customers we have. Surely, Mr. Editor, this would indeed be preferable to allowing Yankee free corn to come in, to drive our oats out of the market. Surely this would be more in our interests than that Yankee free pork and beef (which Grit Free Trade would bring about) should be brought here to supply our customers. lf the Yankees will not meet us fairly and give us the old Reciprocity Treaty again, we must, as Canadians, stand by our own interests and show Brother Jonathan that we can live, as we are now living, in- dependent of him, and that it he is not dis- posed to trade fairly with us, we have push and energy suflicient to meet him in the markets of the world and get our share thereof. The Pairiot winds up by accusing )he Is- land Tories of being ‘‘ very inconsistent in their cry against free corn,” and of wanting to ‘* keep up aChinese wall against cheap western products.” Yes, Mr. Editor, we, as farmers, are not in favor of allowing cheap western products to come in duty free, and compete with our home growth, until the Yankees admit our potatoes and fish on equal terms, and we will one and al. support the National Policy and Sir Joho A. Macdonald, who stands hy our interests when our Grit representatives turn their hacks upon them. - PLOUGHBOY. Cardigan, Feb. 22, 1890. The Sacred Congregation at Rome has refused Gen.

Mr. Johan McQuaid, of Pisquid, shipped 1100 bushels of potatoes last fall. The Messrs. Mc‘) iaid will sell at auction Mon- day, 3d day vt March, their estate, which contains nearly 400 acres of excellent land, together with very fine buildings, ete. Messrs. Dunn «. Welsh, of Peake’s Sta- tion, are building a store which they ex- pect to have ready for business the coming spring. There is a juvenile ‘literary and debat- ing institute established in the school- room at Peake’s Station. Mr. Jas. Kelly, teacher, is president. As there isa large amount of business traffic at Peake’s Station now, it is hoped that it will soon be made a bouking station. There should be a post « fice at Donnel- ly’s Read. All the inhabitunts there take newspapers, and are obliged tu travel some distauce for their mail. A young school teacher of seventeen summers, who has recently been teaching in , King’s County, is courted by father and son; the old gentleman carries off the prize. It appears that the old gentleman’s son was keeping company with the jady in question, and it was understood that they were to be married ia the near future. Fortunately, or unfortunately, for the young man, he had occasion to leave home for some days on business, when it was reported that he had been wedded to another lady. When tie young teacher heard the news she was much affected, and when advised by the gossips to marry the uld man, as he had property, she readily con- sented, thinking her lover had deceived her. Then Mr. Busybody goes to the old gentle- man, who had lost his wife only a few months before, and says: ‘‘ If you give me at of h y, Lil get you « young wife.” ** It’s a bargain,” said the old gen- tleman. The match was made there and then, the couple journeying to Charlotte- town, where the lady teacher had her salary paid her. The coup'e were marred and repaired to their hume. When they ar- rived, the young man who had been abseut was also present, and was chagrined to learn that his aged father had been married to his affianced, as the report about his being married was false. The young lady, it is said, was also visibly affected when she, too, learned the facts. New Perth is a remarkably fine farming district, as the land is constantly kept in a high state of cultivation. Its proximity to Montague and Cardigan Bridges affords the best shipping facilities in the country, be- sides being but a short distance to draw limestone, which the people use extensively on their Jand. On ail sides can be seen cosy and comfortable homesteads, and the latest and most improved farming utensils, etc. There are some promment farmers in this section, as well as some business men, among which may be mentioned Cyrus Shaw, Esq., who is as successful a farmer as he is a politician; William Cain, Esq , School Inspector; John Hamilton. Meq., who operates a cheese factory in conjunce- tion with some of his neighbors, ©. H. McNeill keeps a good general store. The New Perth School is a first-class one. The building is quite large and well. equipped for school and other purposes. Here religious, temperance and literary entertainments are often held. Mr. C, W. West isthe teacher, a very efiicient and experienced gentieman, who has bad charge of the institution for the Jast eight years. rhe pupils showed a remarkable knowledge of agricultural chemistry, Latin and mathe- matics, considering their ages. * There are ne fewer than six pupils from other sec- tions attending school at this place, who have passed third-class eXamiuations and are studying the higher branches. The oldest man now at that place is Mr. Daniel Minchin, who 92 years of age, and who is wondertully active for a man of bis years. He was busy chopping wood when the youngsters were voting. Mr. John Robertson, of Baldwin’s Rvad, is by far the most robust man of his.age | have met with fur some time. This old gentleman who is now 95 years, chops ail the fuel at the door. He was chopping quite vigor- ously at the house whea your correspond- ent arrived there. Mr. Roberison is 4 Scotchman, was born in Perthshire, Scot- land, and emigrated to this country in* 1819. He can read both English and Geelic, and has a Geelic Bible and Testa- ment, which he reacs trom daily. Mr. Ividore Ma:tin, McLean & Son's head blacksmith, has been very unwell for some weeks, from the effects of the inflo- enza, but is now recovering. Mrs. Johu McMillan, and several others have been contined to their rooms but are now getting better. Mr. Samuel Mutca, the veteran teacher, who last fall was ailing, is, we are glad to say, quite smart, and judging from personal appearances, he wil, we hope, long live to ** teach the young idea how to shoot.” John J. McDonald, the popular proprie- tor of the Vulage Hotel, has recently arrived home from Baston, looking hale and hearty. Mr. McDonald has ben at- tending to the sales of produce shipped by himself and prominent merchants of Mon- tague. G. —— a te Rt. Hon. A. M. Porter, Master of the Rolis in Lreland, whuse speech was the cause of Henry Campbell's libel suit agains! the Belfast News Letter, which resulted ia the plaintiff's favor, has apologized to Campbell and paid him £600. He also pays costs.
