Tue Sackville Post reports that a New Brunswick merchant, Mr. Hum- phreys, who recently took to Great Britain a cargo of live cattle, comes back firmly convinced that we cannot compete with the Englis!: farmers until we have the best breeds and fatten them in the best manner. He says that well bred, large and young eattle only can be exported profitably ; losses will inevitably result from attempt- ing to send any others. He advises the importation of Poll Angus cattle for breed- ing purposes, for many reasons: they are hardier, their beef brings the highest price in the English market, and being without horns they are much more conveniently shipped. The ‘‘ Polled Angus’ is the breed ef cattle which Senator Carvell suggests should be imported into this Island,

Ar the Dominion Exhibition, opening in Montreal on the 14th September next, every facility will be extended to our Pro- vince in order thot the best possible repre- sentation of our industries may be secured. In reply to a letter from the Secretary of eur Advisory Board touching the necessity of extending the dates at which entries can be made of the products of this Province, the following interesting reply is received :

Monrreat, Aug. 19, ‘80.

A. MeNeill, Esq., Seeretary, ce.

Sin,--I beg to acknowledge receipt of your favor of the 14th inst. 7 note your remarks regarding the exceptional circum- stances in which you are placed for making entries, and I have pleasure in informing you that the time will be extended to meet your convenience. [| am in receipt of a letter from Mr. John Lowe, Secretary of Departinent of Agriculture at Ottawa, re- questing that space will be provided for your exhibits. This will be attended to. | trust that we may have a fine display of the products of the Island. It seems to me that our Exhibition will afford a most favor- able opportunity for bringing yeur pro- ductions before the notice of the people of the western part of the Dominion. I think a very fine display of the products of your fisheries might be made among other things which you can send.

I trust to see a good many of the [sland- ers up here ; our Exhibition promises to be very five, and we desire to establish the most friendly relations between the various Provinces and to develope a national senti- ment that may cause us all to feel proud of being citizens of the Dominion.

: ail stwe | Tue report of the interview between the | Premier of Canada, and the exporters of Manchester, as published in the Knglish

papers, is interesting reading. We have

space enly for the concluding portion of the report :

‘‘ Every man is net fit tobe a farmer. If we have no manufactures, our country must be an agricultural country exclusively. 1 never heard of an exclusively agricultural country that ever advanced permanently 1a civilization. Unless a country has & @oncen tration of population in cities, it will be be- hind the rest of the world in civilization. The consequence is that all the ingenuity, all the ambition, all the mechanical skill and en- terprise for our young men who have a dis- taste for agricultural pursuits or prefer other employments, will go to the United States. These meu who thus leave our country are of the brightest, wisest, ablest, most ingen ious. All go away because they can get ent ployment in the United States, where there manufactures. They won't be farmers

The cry raised by the peo ple was for a reciprocity of _ trade with A m- erica, or a ree iprocity of t rey. l lo not think, in face of the present feel y an - anada, that there is any chance of the tury being, as a whole, reduced.

member that we had years ago «a treaty with the United States as to agricultural products, Nuhee quently the y cane lled that con- tract, and refused to renew it. We accepted the position because we could not help ourselves. We, however, overcame it, although i wasa qreat loss to Canada that her ayricaliural pre- ducts were excluded from the markets of the United States, We tried every means short of humiliation to induce the United States to renew commercial relations with wus, hut they refused, almost contemptuously, saying they would not enter info any re iprocal treaty. /n one years time the whole tone of the United States altered, There is scarcely a chamber of commerce from Boston to the great towns on the Mississippi, nor a board ef trade, nor an asseciation of man- ufacturers, that is not crying out for arenewal of ree.procal relations with Canada. They are pressing it on the Congress, and if we ever do sueceed in making arrapgements with the United States, it will be in consequence of the ceurse we have taken in excluding them to a considerable degree from our markets. They had the control of them, and they had, per- haps, an exaggerated idea of the value of our commerce in Canada, but they cannot have an exaggerated idea of the future of the great north-west, which is new being settled. They had practically, until we adopted the tariff of last year, the control and supply of that country. From St. Louis and St. Paul's aud elsewhere, they supplied that country. They now find there is a new world growing clese to them, and they are now seeking reciprocal relations. These considera- tions have induced the people of Canada to adopt the system that we have dene. Ly rveadjusting the tariff we kept in view the principle of giving what we couid in faver of England and against foreign countries, because the United States had possession of the markets as for woollens, tweeds and other articles which we were manufacturing. a the finer description of goods which the United States did not pro- duce and import into Canada, the duties are lower than they are in the United States, and the consequence is that. since the adoption of the tariff.the imports from England are in creasing, and the imports frem the United States lave decreased Mr. Birley asked me just now whether there was any chance of something like a reciprocal treaty. I can only say in answer to that that England must have something to give in return.

Mr. Brrury -We could perhaps find some- thing to give.

Sir JouN MacDonatv-—The day may come, notwithstanding that free-trade is a religion in England—{ had almost said a superstition— (laughter) -when the logic of events will in- duce a modification, sooner or later, and if it does not come from above, it will certainly come from below.

Mr. Brrity—Then that will be your time. You had better establish your Zolverein when it comes,

Sir Joun MacDon stp —No person would be more unwilling than myself to see the hazard- ous experiment of taxing food; but in ten years if our great north-west proceeds as we expect it will, we shall be able to furnish the food supply from that country to make up the deficiency in your home products which you now import from foreign countries. When that time comes, and when we have a surplus and sufficient to supply the deficiency here, then we can talk of a Zolverein with England. We could, perhaps, inake a difference of say 10 per cent between the products of England and the products of the rest of the world if we had a countervailing advantage in the English market, but [ think not before.

Mr. Birtey—-For that we are, it seems, to wait 10 years,

Mr. AcNew—Whilst we have thrown every- thing away and have nothing to give, there is nothing to show in this country. There is no feeling of regret that we have nothing to offer,

Mr. Leake—We have ‘been well paid for everything we have thrown away.

Mr. Mason—You said just now that you j|knew of no agricultural country which had become great without manufactures. There is a great and rising country called Australia, which is purely agricultural, and where there is plenty of public spirit.

Sir Joun Macponaip ~—I think there are gold mines in Australia which is an exception- al production, aud in Melbourne there is a protective system, but | donot know whether it is successful or not. One gentleman re- ferred just new to indirect taxation. Now, yeu cannot tax people against their will. When you are obliged to extract money from

Mr. Birtey—A steam plough.

Sir Joun Macponatp— We can make steam ploughs in Canada ; but we will be ready te cousider any suggestions of that kind with a desire to meet your views as much as possible, \ Mr. Anmrrace—We deal in cotton fabrics, and probably | was wrong in introducing other subjects.

Mr. Leake —In Lancashire we make every: thing except our fortunes.

Sir ALEXANRER GALT long ago.

Mr. AuNew—As | understand, your high tariff is \imposed more on account of revenue than for the purpese of protecting your in- dustries.

Sir Jonn Macponarp—That is so. We were obliged to raise the tariff to meet eur obligations, pay our debts, and develop our country, without direct reference to the ques- tion of protection, but, as [ have already stated, we have deliberately adopted the principle of incidental protection.

The deputation thanked Sir John for the interview, and then retired. owes.
