ER 'A MATTER OF ; British Intelligence Departmant. j criminal by a vote of the BUSINESS. | | A Montreal despatch reports :- ‘* Mr. Blair has made a contract to ship 300,000 bushels of grain from St. John. It isexpected the country will lose $16,400 on the contract. allowing a quarter of acent per ton | per mile as the actual cost of carry ing grain, which is the lowest pos sible estimate, and the cost of ele vation in St. John at one-half cent per bushel. The actual cost of carry inthe grain from Montreal to St John is $72.38 per car load of 1,000 bushels. At the figure at which Mr. Blair has offered to do business the I. C. R. will receive just $18 per 1,000 bushels, leaving a balance of $04.38 representing the actual loss to the government road in the transaction. ’ It is pointed out that the receipts for hauling 300,000 bushels or 9.000 tons of wheat, at three cents per hundred pounds,or 60 cents per ton, are $5,400. The cost of hauling 9,000 tons*740 miles at one-fifth of a cent per ton per mile is $13,320. The $7,920. If the costof carriage is placed at | a quarter of a cent per ton per mile | the loss is increased to over $11,000. | If the elevator charges are added. loss is on the transaction the loss is still further increased. The St. John Globe makes the | total loss $15,000, which is a heavy deficit on less than $6,000 worth of business. While the Government is losing money at this rate for the sake of | the farmers and shippers of the. nainland, Prince Edward Island paying its full share, nothing what- ever is apparently being done to- | wards the transportation of our farmers’ products direct to the British markets. We call the attention of our! farmers and men of business to this fact. This is not a matter of party ; it is a matter of business in which all are interested. © NOTES AND COMMENTS. OPPONENTS of the Government, | o.land young, ought to make it a point to attend the meeting to be held in the Lyceum on Monday evening. GENERAL BULLER has pointed out | two genuine personal advantages of | the Boers. Their eyesight, he said. was two miles better than the Biit- ish, and their knowledge of the Kaf- | fir tongue enabled them, by resort-! ing to the native. kraals, to beat the —WaANTED, able and discreet men for business to represent the capital city in the Provincial Legis- lature. The first applicant is Mr. | John Whear. | Mr. Whear is canvassing hard ;— | but sensible electors will not promise | him their votes until they see wh») else is to be in the field ! Tue Montreal Star points out that ‘‘it might well be regarded as a) calamity if the elections were all one-sided. A vigorous opposition is a healthy check and restraint upon hasty or vicious legislation, and an overwhelming majority behind a| Government often tempts it away from the path of rectitude.”’ Tuk Patriot’s eulogy of Mr. Whear, the Government’s candidate, is a little overdrawn. There is no such thing as an ‘Acting Mayor’’ in the City Constitution. There is a ** Pre- siding Councillor,’’ which honor,if we remember aright,has been conferred Council upon Councillor Tanton.
