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~ worth was claimed by 01% P1l0ke"S lil lu- the only pig that would meet the linands of the market. 1‘h¢Y lf'~`<'“ ww tired of that lanky specics_ and 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 during; which time I illllt k@¢P them gi‘u\vlng.and _then I feed them. well for six weeks _.or till they arc Bvvcll months old. - stu.--some time ago Albany vw' duced a flne lot of lambs and U10 hrica was very small.

ruled that the amendment to the
Scott Act referred to "does not__ ply to the crown," meaning tha e Govcrnment~Railways are free to car- ry such shipments anywhere. _ If this is found to_1;le solégd l|1__W \1_Vl1lCl; we doubt, it will ave c e ec _o largely defeating the amendment _in question. lt _is in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. alone that the Scotii Act is now in force, and there the In- tercoloninl Railway and its branches liutcrsect a large number of COHHUES [where the Act has been adollU‘-il and .rct.ain-ed.
