The third class, it is evident, remit no money. We now come to the fourth classuand I would confidently ask any of the respectable and intelligent of that body, whether, with a few, and a very few, exceptions, every member is not obliged, annually, to remit greater or less sums of money‘to the different places with which they trade. Let any man take a look at the wharf of Charlottetown,and observe, the quan- tity of valuable merchandize that is annually Wed there,

that is paid for in the produce of the Island. I will venture to assure him that the value of the Imports will exceed that of the exports by a considerable sum. The Custom House returns annually exhibit a considerable difference between the imports and exports, the balance being always in favor of the former. Let us take, for instance, the imports from the North American Colonies alone, for the last year. These were——

Imports, - - — Sterling, £102,777 13 3% Exports, - - - - - - 60,307 3 9

Thus leaving abalance of £42470 9 6%

I place no great reliance, it is true, on Custom House re- turns; but they are the only data we can obtain. The im- ports are obviously put down at the lowest rate, it being the interest of the importer, where there is an ad valorcm duty, that they should be so. There are, too, a variety of charges—such as insurance, commission, See. which, though they make up no part of the value sworn to, are yet a part ofthe price to be remitted by the person importing. On the other hand, the value of the exports are, in a measure, arbitrary, there being no inducement to lessen their value; but rather a wish, natural enough, to rate them at the highest prices. The actual balance, therefore, is, in all probability, much greater now, though part ot‘this balance is paid through the medium ofBills of Exchange—a greater part from the sale of vessels built every year—still, a con- siderable sum is and must be remitted in specie.

But what ofthat? It is remitted in specie which had been previously imported, and thus productive of no injury whatever to the general trade or interest of the country. It is vain, and what is more, it is ridiculous to deny that the merchants are in the habit of remitting specie. In doing so, they are but remitting produce in another and more portable form. This money is imported at its true and natu- ral value, and is exported at the same—why then should it obtain, during its short sojourn amongst us, afictilious value, destructive of the credit and respectability of the Colony? What end does it answer? It has ansvvered the end, as I have before shown, of depreciating the Treasury Note, and, con- sequently, of lessening the resources of the Island. I will now show you to what purposes it may be applied. And to illustrate this, 1 will make use of a fact that has occurred since the publication of my first letter.

In an action by the Hon. Donald Macdonald, of Glen- aladale, against a tenant of the name of Vickerson, Mr. Macdonald recovered a considerable sum for the use and occupation of the Farm which Vickerson held of him. Now, though the bargain was, that Vickerson was to pay in Prince Edward Island Currency—that is, Island Notes, Dollars at six shillings, three and fourpencesfand so forth, yet, on a motion made for the purpose of compelling him

to receive his verdict in that currency, ' ge decided f -—-and he decided properly—that Prince ,3, ward Island

Currency meant Spanish milled Dollars ' ve shillings each, and Vickerson was compelled to pay, the amount in what is commonly called Halifax Currency, when, by the terms of his bargain, he was ‘to-have paid in Prince Ed- ward Island Currency, or, in other words, upwards of one- eighth more than he had agreed to pay.‘ Onesuch fact as this is worth a thousand idle speculations, vagaries and an— ticipations of such, an uninformed and superficial Writer as EPSILON. If Mr. Macdonald can do this, why may not Mr. Any-one-else do the same? Why may not the merchant who has retired from trade deliver over to his professional man his Warrants of Attorney, Bonds, Promissory Notes and book debts, and direct that no other money than lawful money shall be taken in payment? Nay, ‘who shall dare to find fault \with his conduct? May he not say, I have done nothing but what is strictly legal—with Portia, in the Merchant of Venice, he may proudly reply,

“ The law allows it, and the Court awards it.”

Now for EPSILON. 1 am threatened, it seems, with the displeasure of the merchants, and with that .of the relatives of Ex—Governor Smith. I most sincerely deprecate that of the former.~ As to that of the latter, 1 stand in little danger, I trust, of it, for, .in the first place, I have done nothing to deserve it. In speaking of Governor Smith’s having arbi- trarily ordered the Bank Token to pass for six. shillings, l commended the. act, and only wished that it had been ac—

.

that the Governor, when he found that they had been called in, in the mother Country, called them in here; and in so doing, he acted with a prudence and jud merit becoming his station. In the next place, I the less car it, because I know them to he possessed of too much good sense to find fault with any writer who, without impeacliiiig his private integrity, arraigns his public measures at the bar of public justice. They cannot but know that he was a public character, and that, as such, his acts are public property and n matters of history, which any man may make use of as be H finds convenient for his purposes, asl have no hesitation g in saying that I will do, as Well as with the acts of any Go- vernor, past, present or to come, keeping, however, always in mind that most excellent command which Cicero gives to the historian—“ Ut ne quid falsi dicere audeat, ne quid veri non audeat”—To never dare to say that which is false, to never fear to say that which is true. ~ I remain, for the present, yours, «Sac.
