THOS. ROBSON. Fcnelon Falls, March 8th, 1893; ' The lr‘cncl‘oir rains Gazette: Friday. July 28th; 1393: Not. a. Bonanza. Fronrstatements that. have lately ap- peared in print it is not likely that there will be as big,r a bonanza in exporting hay to the oldcountry. as was expected when-the first accountt of the shortage across the Atlantic. arrived. In Eng- ' land, according to the latest quotation, hay was not much more than $201f0r the Canadian ton of 2,000 pounds, and although fodder is so very scarce in France that the Government has decid- cd:to:admit it free of duty until the lst of January next, the railwaysccmpanics and ship owners, determined to have the cream of the business, are charging such high, freights that, unless tliey.ex-.- port hay themselves, it is not‘lik‘ely that much of it will go from this side of the ocean. Last summer a Kingston firm lost on one cargo and just saved themâ€" selves on two others that they shipped to England; and so disgusted were they with their experience that a member of their firm told a number of English buyers who lately arrived in Kingston that he would deliver them hay at any shipping port in Canada or the States, but that they would have to take the ~:.responsibility beyond'that point. True, hay is cheaper in Canadavand dearer in the old country this year than it was last, but it is a very easy matter to raise the freight by land and water a notch or two higher. Temperance People Alarmed. Censidcrable space in nearly every issue of the leading Toronto papers is taken up in dismissing the question whether street cars shall or shall not be run in that city. on. Sundays. The question has already beerrvoted- on.and =vctoed,_but thosc who are in favor of Sunday cars have decided on testing public opinion again, and we have very little doubt that the result will be the same as it was before, whether the vote be taken next month, as the advocates of'the cars wish, or at the municipal elections in January, as the opponents of the ears desire. The arguments against Sunday cars are, incur opinion, infinitely stronger than the arguments for them, but what will tend more than any other single “ factor ”‘ to defeat them is the conviction of the temperance workersthat if carsnre run on Su-iduys: a great increase in the consumption of intoxicating liquors will inevitably follow; and the Toronto ‘News, which is of the same opinion. says inamarticlev under the above headng : “Just as surely as ’l‘oronto’sinfluence has tended in the right direction in the past, just so surely will the tendency be the other way if the restrictions new placed about the 7th day are removed. Experience proves this in the case of' Buffalo, where in that one city there are almost as many licensed bars as in the whole of this Province. Even in Rochester, one of the best cities of the Union, the open saloonand the Sunday car go. together. In Montreal, where the sale of beer in Sehmcr park followed- es a direct result of the inauguration of‘ scontiouous our service,- it is the same. And so it will be here if the first step is once taken.
