WEDNESDAY
The eutire__sy_s'tem, 1! such it can 'ua'
,_-1,_11ed, of ,Canadian defence is fram-
ed with a supreme disregard for the
Maritime Provinces. Here are twen-
ty sen Ports open. to attack 'ny any
poweil with which Britain may chance
to be at war. and not one of these
ports excepting Halifax has a single
modern gun mounted in its defence,
wh-at has Prince Edward Island, No-
-,-U, Scotia, _Cape Breton or Vancou-
ver Island to fear by way ol urmed
invasion overland? Yer.-these sec-
tions are compelled to contribute 1,0
the six millions which the' land forces
1-ost, and not a dollar is expended to
prepare against attack from sea. If
preparation for war tends to preserve
pence, then it must be admitted that
our defenseless ports invite attack,
St, John, Charlottetown, Sydney und-
ri dozen lesser Malitimc'ports wollld
bu wholly at the mercy of any hostile
guuhoat which might some ulonpz.
lt would seem that Canada needs it
navy as much as it needs an army.
flur ports on the Atlantic, the Gulf
of St. Lawrence, the Great Lakes and
the Pacific are exposed to attacks by
the maranding cruisers of any and
all of the naval powers. Gi invasion
by land we need have no fear, ex-
eept fnoni the Unitcll States, and
long-continued friendly relations have
removed that fear. Why then do we
spend over six millions this year on
land forces and not a dollar on war-
ships? Surely in this matter our
ways are not equal. Our next neigh-
bor will soon have the second most
powerful navy in the world, and is re-
latively as powerful by sea us by
land. We depen°d wholly on the Brig.
ish navy for defence by sea, yct we
contribute nothing toward its main-
tenance and it might easily happen
that in the hour of oilr direst need
the British fleet might he as far a-l
way as the British army. Conimonj
sense .would dictate that of Canada is
to put on armor and provide defen-1
ces it should 'oe against attack both;
ny sea and land. “‘

PORK. AND PURK RAISING.
Mr. Editor :-A letter appeared inf
thc press lately, finding fault with
the farmers for the poor .1uality oi'
we pork received in ijlinrlolietown
une time ago-.60 p. c. ol it would,
ilu: class No 1. J have been inquest- '
cd to state my opinion on that letter
and am sorry that the task did not
flul into the hands of one gifted with .
ore literary ability. However, hero'
are my views on the matter:
lst.-Is the mulvn who grows the
ork entirely to blame for its poor
condition ? I do not think so.
2nd.-What has the farmer to deal
ith in the autumn? Simply this:
Pork is usually worth 8 cents a pound
in the early part of the season. To
et this price many farmers kill their?
pigs, knowing well that if they flnishl
fattening their hogs they have toi
take a much lower price and waste'
the feed that the hogs would- consume
ii order to make their pork the finish-
ed article.
3rd.-The pork grower has now to
contend with a greater problem than
ever, namely, that the pork has to -be
spected for the purpose of seeing if;
it has been slaughtered with the henrt ‘_
nd liver left, in, before it is allowed _
o enter the province of Quebec and
Ontario. 1
Now, if the pork of P. E. Island ir

_valuable space,

come into operation and will not :ill
the new year but applications for the
benefits alre literally pouring in and
some prospective abuses are aires.<iy
in sight. For instance tb-ire me
cases, not a few in which iii is :illeg-
ed the would-be pensioners have taken
measures to conceal their possessions,
or have given their property to sons
or daughters, in order to qualify
_themselves to receive pensions.
1 In such cases when the facts are
discovered, no pensions will be given
hut it is alleged that the law as it
_now is opens a wide gate for fraud.
il'ci-sons who are ewrming very nearly
_or quite the stipulated income of
£31. 10s. will be tempted to earn a
little less and get on the pension list,
and many who are now self-support-
ing: may thus become chargeable upon
line taxpayers. It is stated that in
1individu.al cases persons with as much
_as $5,000 invested have made good
'their claims and been placed on the
ipension lists. In Ireland the number
of applicants has run up to 183,000
although the official statistics show
fthnt but 153,000 are qualified.
l The tendency of a pension list in
,any country has been always to ex-
ipand and increase. This has been de-
iinonstrntcd in the United States in
_the matter of war pensions. The pen-
lsions payable on account of the war
of the rebellion in 1865, just aftier the
war closed amounted to $8,600,000.
They reached their maximum twenty-
eiglit years later in 1893 when the
total was over $158,000,000. Last
year, although the great majority of
the original pensioners were dead the
pension disbursements were still
$138,000,000.
The British old-age pension bill will
impose an enormous burden on the
country at the outset, asnd it may be
it greater burden later. It remains to
bc seen--what relicf it will give to the
poor rates, and how far the predic-
tions of its opponents are true, that
it will lessen the productive power
of the people by transferring a. por-
tion of the wageeaming class tothe
dependant class. It does not follow
that a scheme which seems to work
fairly well in New .'Zealand. will oper-
ate so well in the Old Country where
o many of the people are existing
close to the border line of poverty.
What makes the venture seem more
rash is the almost impossibility of
repealing a pension act when once it
has been put in operation.
SENDING LIQUOR INTO
SCOTT ACT COUNTIES.
The Scott Act as recently ameadci
contains 11 clause which makes it a
plinisliable offence to ship f"l` “PDS”
port intoxicants from outside pclilits
into districts where the Scott Act is
in force. Recently a large shipment
of this sort intended for sale in York
County, N. B. and brought over the
Intercolonial Railway was seized at
Fredericton. Now we are told the De-
partment of Justice at Ottawa has
fit for the man of Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick to eat and to pack
r the markets of the would, whyf
r.lust it be inspected before it can en- 1
_“zur the apovc-mentioned Provinccsili
f`hi.-s act of inspection is not for the
good of the pork grower. To my
ind it is for the benefit of the whole
sale buyers and eventually will-
hurt the pork market in the cold sea- '
u by causing expense ullll l1‘2lllY-
41h.--It is very difficult for thc
ilriner to tell what .kind of li Dis YO
row to meet the demands of the
nuker. Some years.ago the 'l‘:lnl~

linands of the market. 1‘h¢Y lf'~`<'“

lstowed their favor upon lhe \oi.k-
hire. Last year the Berkshire was
the one that was most in demand. ln
my opinion it should not matter
“lint breed me pu; is pwvlllcll llc ls
pi operly fattened.  " " _
.'.l_h.--The packers tell us to lllll 0l\l‘
h.‘y..~l when the weight averages fr0m
iful to 130 pounds. This seems to be
in the charmed circle, but the fami-
er who fills that order would want a
grant many pigs to make much
nloney, My rule is not to fatten my
pins until they are Sli I¥l0l\th5 °1d
