THE DAILY EXAMINER. SEPTEMBER 11, 1890. The McKinley Bill. — Ir seems cettain—the objections of Mr. Blaine and the President as to the placing of sugar upon the free list having been met that the McKinley Bill, which passed the Senate yesterday, will become law on or about the Ist October. The agricultural schedule, which interests us, will, of course, give satisfaction to the farmers of the United States, :n whose interests it was That anything which the Govern- left undone influenced its framers in the slighest de- framed. ment of Camada has done or gree has been denied, in distinct terms, by Mr. McKinley himself and by other mem- bers of Congress. The measure is a Na- tional measure framed vpon the pinciples which were endorsed at the last Presidential How it will effect the farmers of According to election. Canada remains to be seen. the grit journals and politicians it will We have such men to be work ruin to Canada. no fear. Canadians are not the either ruined or dismayed by any action that the protectionists of the United States may take. If the United States will not take our products, Great Britian and other countries will our in- dustrious and provident farmers can live in comfort, for they depend upon a_ higher Power than even the Congress of the great Republic. Perhaps they may find it ad. visable to killa few hens, or turn some more of their potatoes into pork and beef, In any case or change somewhat the character of their products. But they will live wellin spite of all that Congress can do for the protec- tion of United States’ farmers. On the other hand the people of the United States,—the poor people of the great towns, particularly,-—must suffer on account of the McKinley Bill. How it will effect them this year in respect to one important article for food is forcibly stated by the Independent, of Northfield, Minn., which says: “‘The crop of potatoes is short millions upon millions of bushels. The United States must either buy them abroad or do without them. And when our people are threatened with a potato famine is the time the Republi- can party has undertaken to increase the duties on an article which we have been accustomed te look upon as one of necessity. In addition to the extraordinary price Am- erican consumers must pay for the large amount of potatoes they will have to buy they must pay also this exorbitant tax. Is our government so badly in need of money that they must tax the food of the people so out- rageously? ‘The tax cannot help the American farmer, for he himself in many states will bea purchaser, and it will be a tremendous burden for the overworked and underpaid factory operatives and working men of the East.” It seems pretty clear that our farmers will this year at least only have to hold out fora good price for their potatoes. The consumer will be forced to pay the duty. _—. —eouro ** It is understood that arrangements are being made which will allow exhibitors of live stock to withdraw their entries on the even- ing cf Tuesday, Sept. 30th. This will be the rule adopted with all exhibits, not excepting those from P. E. Island. It is understood that the reason for this decision is the unwil- lingness of the P. E. Island Exhibition Asso- ciation to meet the liberal advances of the St. John Association.” The above extract is from an article which appeared in the St. John Telegraph of the 29th of August last. We have not made earlier reference to it, thinking that it might not be authorized by the managers of the St. John Exhibition. From the fact that no contradiction has been given to the Telegraph's announcement that no live steck can be withdrawn until the evening of Sept. 30th, and that intending exhibitors at St. John, living in this Province, have not received definite replies to their letters inquiring as to the time at which they might withdraw their exhibits, it may now be taken for granted that live stock from this Province, shown at St. John, cannot be brought back to Charl$ttetown until the Island Exhibition is practically over. We think it a pity that the managers of the St. John Exhlbition have attempted to extend their show of live stock into the second week. Experience has proved that successful agricultural shows can only be held in the Maritime Provinces, and par- ticularly in Prince Edward Island, in the last week of September or the first week of October, and it seems hardly fair for one exhibition managemer:t to monopolize these two available weeks. ‘The latest rule adopt- ed for the St. John show, requires live stock to remain a round week at Moosepath. At the Charlottetown Exhibition the live stock will only be kept for four days, includ- ing the time for receiving and departing. the St. John management had been satis- ecwith four days, the same as Charlotte- own, there would be no clashing. — The Central Government of Brazil has guaranteed loans ‘or the provinces to the extent of $5,000,000. Upon which fact the Montreal Gazette remarks that Monarchi- cally governed countries do not embody all the political_unwisdom of the world, else (Juebec would have had no imitator in the municipal loan fund business. —The Right Hon. Arthur Wellesley Peel, addressing his constituents of Warwick and Leamington, said that the historic mace, pointing to which Cromwell made the mem- orable remark, ‘* Take away that bauble,” and which had subsequently disappeared, was reported to have been discovered at Kingston, Jamaica, and at the instance of the members of the House of Commons he had written through the Colonial Secretary to obtain the facts and obtain its restora- to the House, THE DAILY EXAMINER, _ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 1890. ace Maritime Press Association. ee ee Reports of Our Visitors. The Moncton Transcript, too, has s good word for Prince Edward Island—reminding it, in some points, of old Devonshire. We make as many quotations as Tur Ex- AMINER’S space will admit :— ‘** At this season of the year ‘ the island,’ as Prince Edward is familiarly called in this section, is invariably beautiful. The Island possesses however, a peculiar charm to me, and that is its power of recalling the coast line of Dawlish on the southern Devonshire coast of that other island far across the Atlantic. Its green verdure in striking contrast with its red-clay sloping shore ; its villages nestling in coves; its cattle browsing on the shelving banks; its white lighthouses commanding the heights or standing as silent sentinéls out on the furthermost point of the boldest promon- tory ; reproduce a bit of coast line in the Mother land. When I crossed to Summer- side the other day the waves were rolling high and the white caps crested every bil low; there was a stiff breeze blowing and the cautionary signal displayed at Point du Chene made timorvus passengers nervous as to the crossing. But the St. Lawrence is a steady, staunch, seaworthy boat ; and its captain and crew ever ready to study the comfort of the passenger. The contrast of green verdure and red soil ; and of white horsemen on green chargers dashing wildly towards the shore were exquisite. In a few minutes the passengers had landed ; and the missing NOTICE.

P.S 0B, WARREN'S & Sigs EVERYTHING NEW! FENHANKING all my OLD CUSTOMERS for their kind patronsge in the past, I beg most respectfully to inform them and the PUBLIC GENERALLY that I have leased the Store lately occupied by Mr. James B. Hall, known as P.G Fraser's Corner, I have refitted and renovated the Store, and, with a New, Nicely Selected and Well Bought Lot of Boots and Shoes, their patronage. f have decided to do busi- ness POSITIVELY FOR CASH ONLY. New Brunrwicker had joined the press gang. Attached to the regular steamboat express was, through the courtesy of Super- | intendent Unswonth, a special car for the press representatives ; and here it may be said in passing that Mr. Unsworth was the personal exemplification of official courtesy | and consideration. The marked success of | this year’s trip wasas much if not more, due to him than to any other person. The next morning at Charlottetown was delightfully sunny. The party by appoint- : ment met at the board of trade rooms and were escorted to the market. And it was a’ market! I have not seen the like for many years. The island farmer does not overlook the value of small things. He knows the wealth that lies in a market garden ; he has learned the unlimited cap- ' acity of an urban community to consume at fair and remunerative prices, and therefore he cultivates it. The market building at the island capital is a two storied wooden | structure and the general market days are Tuesdays and Fridays. It was Friday on our visit. Around the building were scores of farmers’ waggons laden with pro- duce and buying and selling was active. The farmers looked well to-do. They were well clothed, their vehicles were excel- lent and their horses in prime condition. The love of flowers is characteristic of the Islanders; and a commendable passion it is ! Here were flowers, indeed ! Not the gor- geous production of modern rules of adapta- tion, selection and crossing, but genuine old-fashioned flowers, gathered in old-fash- ' ioned gardens, done up in old-fashioned bouquets, and sold by women from the old country, whose tongues had not yet forgot- ten the accents of a far-off iand! ‘* How much for that pan of flowers 7?” ‘** For the whole pan /’ asked the dame in astonish- ment, wondering whether the enquirer was quizzing her, but ina few minutes every. lady in the press gang—and there were many—bore in her hand the distinguishing mark of a boquet. Just at this juncture Senator Howlan whispered ** Are you not going upstairs?” People say the handsomest people in the country are there? It was then | discovered that there were two sets | of stairs, up one set was an ascending crowd and down the other set the descending mar- keters. Ina moment the upper story was reached; and what a buzz! To say there were no men there would not be strictly correct, but that was the first impression on ' the eye ! Here were the farmers’ wives and ' daughters selling dairy and garden pro- | duce. Prints of butter nestling in cosy | layers of leaves, er in snow-white towels. | Black currants in profusion! Small! vege- tables ad libitum! Poultry of all kinds! And an innumerable assortment of other minor products! But the prices! A Monc- tou housekeeper with access to such a mar- ket would be blessed indeed. But to us the feature of the market was an old dame, whose tongue had neverforgotton its Devon- shire cunning, and whose ‘‘ Yes my dear” to every questioner announced her origin. A few questions confirmed suspicions, and in @ moment four members of the press gang all hailing within a few miles of each other in the old lady’s native county were exchanging notes as to the identity of De- vonshire localities familiar to the quintette. But when dishes of Devonshire cream were noticed for sale, there was a scramble. Rich clots of snow-white cream with light flakes on top soon exchanged possession ; and by and by favored members of the party were initiated into the mysteries of that delightful table delicacy, so singularly neglected on this continent. From the roof of the Provincial Building what a grand panorama lay before us. We stand in the centre of a large square, with beds of bright colors at our feet and the rousic of falling waters borne upwards on the breeze. The city appeared to be em- bowered in trees, and spacious streets diverg- ed in every direction. Charlottetown in its site is not unlike the Battery end of Manhatten Island on a small scale. It is surrounded by water on two sides, the third narrowing to a point; and to our back widening out into a broad expanse of well cultivated country. The fields being lined by bushes and trees gave it alsoa well wooded appearance. It was a fair landscape we beheld. Undulating country, gently sloping down to the broad expanses of water which formed the inlets of the sea. Away in the middle ground were the nar- rows forming the entrance of the harbor ; and still further away, almost lost in the haze of the distance, the shores of Nova Scotialouomed. Nature had indeed decked the scene with her fairest of colors and brightest of green, but the well-tilled fields, the lazy contented cattle, the clean looking homesteads, the manifest scenes of thrift and industry which marked the country Therefore 1 shall sellata SMALL ADVANCE ON COST, and can warrant my goods, Home-mate and Imported, equal to any_in the market for Style, Quality and Price. No goods to leave my Shop unless paid for. ny goods found to be unsuitable, will be cheerfully exchanged or the money promptly refunded. 47 It is reported that my business is a branch from a certain establishment in this city. I most emphatically deny the state- ment. No person has an interest in my busi- uess, I have no partners. I most respectfully solicit a share of public patronage, and shall endeavor to give my cus- tomers the worth of their money every time. C.B. WARREN, Boots and Shoes, P. G.
