CANADIAN BACON.
To the Editor of the Mail and Empire:
Sir, We have to thank you for many
courtesies in the past, rid are now
asking yore• good otT.cea gain in the
publication of this letter.
We have this morningreceived a
cable message from Lonon, pointing
out the serious danger that threatens
the, export bacon trade. The super-
iority of Canadian bacon over Ameri•
can arises from one simple cause,
Speaking generally, the American hop
knows nothing but Indian corn from
the time he is weaned till he meets
his fate; the result is, he is a mass of
fat which, in cooking, boils out or fries
out—this is a condition which English -
Wen abhor. The Canadian hog, on
the contrary, is fed on. peas, barley
and refuse wheat, the result is a car-
case with plenty of lean, and wbat fat
there is of a firtu texture. .
These qualities have given Canadian
bacon on the English markets an envi•
able position its compared with Am-
erican, and, its a result, we are paying
to -day $5.20 live weight for choice
bacon hogs, while yesterdays quota-
tion in Buffalo was $3.90, and in Chi•
cagn $3.75. The danger that threat-
ens the business is. cheese factories
supplernepting the whey with corn, as
we hoar is being done. We write this
to urge the feeders to set their faces
against this. It has taken many
yeas to get Canadian bacon into the
advantageous position in England it
note has, and, if that is ever lost, it
will take years to recover it.
To emphasize the above our corres.
pondent adds, the Danish feeders are
making the same blunder. We, in
Canada, should profit by their experi-
ence.

THREE PEI1SONS TO DO TIIE. WORK OI
ONE,
Mr. James Shannon, ex- postmaster.
Kingston, writes to the News as fol-
lows:—Ill was surprised to read the
reply of the Postmaster -General in the
House to Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper's
inquiry concerning the superannuation
of the postmaster at Kingston. With
more than seventeen years experience,
I have been removed in order that Mr.
Gunn, an older roan, might be ap-
pointed for the purpose of improving
the efficiency of the Kingston Post -
office, Mr, Shannon being of advanced
age and of feeble health." The ab-
surdity of this explanation is suffici-
ently apparent to Kingstonians, but it
may be read by many of my friends in
other places, for whose benefit, I may
just state that it is misleading and
incorrect. The Postmaster -General, I
am sure, is not aware that I have quite
recently been engaged with some
of the officials in considering in what
way the `efficiency' of the office could
be `improved,' and its expense reduc-
vd, and this was not complete when
I received my conge. I ata at a loss
to understand how a person who
knows nothing of the duties of the
office can do anything to promote its
efficiency. That I am of advanced
age' is not to be denied from A cer-
tain point of view, but with a Min-
ister of Justice about ten years older,
and who, it is said, will be raised to a
higher position shortly, I ata at a loss
to know what my age can have to do
with the matter, especially as an older
person than myself has been appoint-
ed in my place, and, as I have said,
without any experience. As to my
health, about ten years ago I was a
few days out of the office owing to
sickness, but in a period of more than
seventeen and a half years of duty I
did not consider that worth remember-
ing. Atpresent I never enjoyed bet-
ter health in my life. My successor
has been employed at a salary which
I only obtain after six years' ser-
vice. Another person must be em-
ployed to do s work, ao that, with my
allowance, ree persons will be paid
to do the fPk of one. This is a new
way of re using the expenses of the
office. The whole transaction Is simply
apiece of gross jobbery and favourit-
ism. And now malice, hatred, and
'trickery' have done their worst, and
the public will see the truth of the
sayings that ,to the victors belong the
, spoils. "

i country whose tariff is, or may be.

schedule D, is calculated to imperil the
industrial interests of Canada, and is
inprinciple opposed to preferentiall
trade of any kind with the Mother
Country.
"That on several occasions the Gov-
ernment and Parliament of Canada
have requested her Majesty to he
)leased to take such steps as u)ight
)e necessary to tertninate the effect
of the provisions of all treaties which
Prevent the Parliaments of the Unit-
ed Kingdom and the self-governing
colonies adopting such tariffs as may
be required for the promotion of trade
within the Empire, but no decisive ac-
tion has been taken in this direction.
"That the desire for preferential
trade with the United Kingdom is now
general throughout Canada.
That this House is of opinion that
the Government of Canada should
cause her Majesty's Government to be
advised that so soon as the difficulties
in the way vire removed, the Parlia-
ment of Canada is ready to enter into
a preferential trade arrangement with
Great Britain and Ireland.
"That this House cannot consent
that any arrangement made by the
Government of Candida with any coun-
try involving serious considerations of
tariff and revenue should become oper-
ative without the sanction and ratifica-
