Great Men and Potatoes.

ry ‘) LO ile }

dditor of the Hraminer:

Sir,—Iit has been asserted that great men are largely, if net altogetfer, mdebted to cir- cumstances for their fame. Numerous illus- trations to prove this fact are taken from ancient and modern history. Oliver Cromweil lived for forty years a quiet and peaceful life in the country, littledreaming that he, at some future day, would be called on to sway the sceptre of England. . But an odious tax called ‘Ship Money” was imposed. Civil war en- sued; and the humble Oliver became the arbiter of the fate of, Kings. Vhe only re- markabie thing about the youthful history of George Washington is the supposed fact thai he could never tell a lie. But a Tea Duty and Stamp Act made the colonists mad; and they rebelled, and fought, and bled, and died, and conquered,—and the good boy George Wash-

ington became the Father of the Almighty’

American pation, Hundreds of illustrations could be produced from history as good as the two I have given. But time and space will not permit any more.

In the two instances I have given it appears that the imposition of duties was the chief causes that led to Cromwell and Washington becoming so famous im histery. The future historian will find im the annnals of this Island another apt illustration of the connection between the fame of great men and cus- toms «dnties. it appears from all the facts that have as yet been made public, that a Mr. Daniel Millar bas been vegetating in the vicin- ity of Kocky Pomt for some years, compar- atively unknown. To the few who were ac- guainted with him he seemed au ordinary and commonplace individual, Until last week he does not appear to have been aware himself of the mighty things he was capable of doing. As a matter of speculation, he imported a few pecks of potatoes in the endeavor to turn an honest penny by selling them to. our farmers at a pretty steep price, When they arrived, and he was asked by the Customs’ officials to go and make an entry of them, and, further, to pay ten per cent. on cost before they could be delivered, he was amazed. His soul burned within him when he thought of- the indignity offered to him by the Customs’ authorities. What! Paya duty on potatoes ? No, never! Rather ‘“‘let our hearths and homes be desecrated,” says Mr. Millar. If Mr. Millar had been a common man—made of common clay—he would, have paid the duty, and perhaps inwardly execrated all Custom Houses. But he was not a common man; and the fire of his genius once lighted by the demand for duty on potatoes, he became irre- pressible. Genius carnot be hid —it will show itself in some way. Daniel Mil- lar’s found vent in a letter to the Pat- riot. It is to be hoped that you will publish it —that all papers everywhere, in all 1 ages, will publish it. They say Cartwright has read it; and determined to make a change in the tariff on potatoes in deference to Mr, Mil- lar; that President Hayes has read it, and will propose to Congress to take the duty of potatoes; Disraeli will read it, and, no doubt, will explain himself. It is, perhaps, to be re- gretted that Lawson,the sinner, of the Patriot, has made rather a selfish use of Daniel Millar’s letter. The saint of the Presbyterian had been for some weeks handling him somewhat roughly; and when he found that Millar's let- ter contained logic that would crush_ his rival to the earth, he did not scruple to use it; and it is expected that we have heard the last of poor Stephen the Saint. It must, however, be some satisfaction to the discomfited Saint to know that: the blow that furnished him

was not from the heathen of the ‘‘ Patriot,” but from the. illustrious Daniel Millar. Mr. Daniel Millar’s

genius has burst upon the world at an oppor- tune moment. This Dominion, in particular, is agitated from Labrador to Vancouver Island on questions of trade. He notices the fxct in his letter, and conveys a modest hint that, if his services are wanted to savé the country, he is ready to be sacrificed. No doubt many con- stituencies will contend for the honour of hav- ing him for a representative to the Dominion Parliament. But we must keep him here. He asserts, with some emotion, that he is a native of this Island. Think of that, P. E.-Islanders. England produced but one Shakespeare. Prince Edward Island produced a Daniel Mil- lar. There is one thing I must notice before I close. Daniel Millar -is now living at Rocky Point, and says he is a_ native. Bat ‘“* where was he born? Several localities are already claim- ing to be his birth-place. This matter should be set at rest, for it is said that--

‘Seven Grecian cities claimed great Homer

dead, “Through which the living Homer begged his bread, .

I have no doubt the great Daniel Millar will in a letter to the press, give the name of the locality in which he was born, and settle the already vexed question.

Yours, ete., Rustico.

May 25th, 1875.

If straws show whiich way the wind blows, the bearing of more weighty matters must be regarded as a more positive indication. The London ‘‘Times” mentions a fact in its financial columns that shows the direction of German sympathies in the European dis pute. It says that in Berlin enormous quantities of Russian bonds, rouble notes and other obligations, have been sold. The Russians have there found the market they could not find in Loudon or Paris. The re- fusal of London and Paris to buy the Rus- sian securities ; and the opposite act on of Germany, reveals the drift of national sym- athies as accurately as the favor with which London during our civil war looked upon Confederate bonds,

The Gatling Gun.

Something has been said lately about the Gatling gun, of which effective use has been made by the English, who propose to util- ize it still further in the event of war with Russia.. Lieutenant Grear, of Springfield, Mass, armory, is perfecting an arrangement whereby these guns can be transported on horseback, so that they can be taken through narrow defiles and over rough places, where gun carriages could not be drawn. It con- sists of an iron frame, which can be at- tached to an ordinary cavalry saddle, and straps, so arranged that the’ load can be eynally divided on the sides of the horse. ‘Three horses will be required for the trans- portation of a single gun with a quantity of ammunition, ‘The idea that a Gatling gun might be fired from a horse’s back is ex- ploded, as mo animal could be trained, or would ever be able to endure the shock caused by firing a gun at the rate of 900 shots a minute, which is the rapidity at- tained by Lieut. Grear, in his experiment with the Gatling gun.

A Pew Words to Young Men.

A correspondent of the Progress writes :

' want you to allow me to say a few words to the young men of this Province. I wish to ask them to consider well, before they poll their votes at the coming election, the actions of the McKenzie Party in Ottawa and of our Local Government here, ia regard to the dis- franchisement of the young men. The two Governments are afiiliated and both put forth every effort to secure our disfranchisement. Soth are equally guilty. “Therefore it is of the the greatest importance to us that both should be overturned in due time. li we elect Me- Kenzie men now, we know what to anticipate ‘rom the Grits ere another five years pass over us. We may fee! morally certain that if the Grits come out victorious from the coming con- test, not a solitary young man, who does not possess a property qualification, will be allowed to vote at subsequent elections. As sure as they return to power, just so sure will the endeavor to pass an Act which will de- prive us of our right to vote The have done their utmost in this direction al- ready, and we have no reason to expect any- thing better hereafter. But let us ail unite, and with a mighty and terrifie force crush the tyrants out of power foréver. Will we turn round, like the dog which lieks the -hand that beats it, and vote for men’ whe have tried to tamper with onr rights and put us im the posi- tion of slaves? Slaves we .most assuredly would be if the Grits had their way, for the moment a man loses a voice in the Govern: ment of his country, that moment he ceases to be a free citizen. Young, men, pay up your poll-tax promptly and show your siege Every young man who votes at the ng election, does so in spite of the McKenzie Gov- ernment, and every young¢man who votes on election will give the Gnts a bitter pill to swallow. Boys, let us show them that we won't submit to such an indignity like dogs— let us show them what we can do with the ballot box.

The Eastern Question. Count Schouvaloff has returned to Lon-

don; but the success Of his mission will not probably be known till next week. He will have an interview with Lord Salisbury to- day, and the result of the Conference will immediately be sent to St. Petersburg, not by wire, but by courier.. Until the answer arrives at the Russian capital, secrecy is to be maintained. Meantime it is believed that the Count, while not having been able to carry out all his desires, yet has been successful in bringing back such pacific com- munications as will make the meeting of Congress a certainty. Unfortunately, wile, England and Russia are apparently nearing an understanding, Austria 1s becoming dis- trustful and manifesting sigas of a growing anti-Russian feeling. It is reported that Austria has determined that Montenegro shall not have Antivari, but is willing it

shall acquire Spezza, which will give access to the sea. Austrian objection to the cession of Antivari — is

grounded on a fear that it may be- come a Russian port. Another somewhat ominous sign is to be fouud in the fact that tusso-Roumanian relations are again be- coming tightly drawn while Austria and voumania are drawing together. Ger- many’s advice to Prince Charles to .yield Bessarabia, and if his subjects objected to abdicate, has given offence at Vienna, and has led to the Emperor Witheim sending an autograph letter to the Emperor Francis Joseph. The reports thata new Russo- Roumanian military convention has been concluded, are emphatically denied, the Roumauian Cabinet, it is said, being in no humor to enter into a second treaty with a power which violated the convention of April last year. A conflict between the Porte and Montenegro is threatening. The Montenegrins accuse the Turks of making military preparations in Albania with an idea of attacking them, and the Turks de- clare that it is not they but the Montene- grins who are assuming an aggressive atti- tude. > 90 eo Said Lord Grougham in 1815; “ England can afford to incur some loss on the export of English goods, for the purpose of destroy- ing foreign manufactures in the cradle.” The manufacturers of the United States think they can afford some loss in order to des:roy Canadian manufactures. in the cradle. Will Canada be wise for her own interests /
