outlay of money and anxiety, have migrated
to Trinidad and Demerara, while the ma
tive labourers have withdrawn from the
estates, and have established Cocoa plan
tations for themselves throughout the is
land and the inhabitants of Carriacoy,
who We're accustomed annually to visit
Grenada in the dry season and labour upon
the sugar estates, now take their labour to
Trinidad and other places. The craze for
cocoa and spice planting still RACES here,
and sugar producers now speak seriously
of converting their cane fields into cocoa
plantations !"
The Grenadians, it will be seen, are not
in love with the change of Government
they were foolish enough to agree to some
time back, when, in common with al
most all the West Indian islands which
e~nioved o representative government, they
voluntarily abandoned it tor benefits
which exist only in the promises, meant to
be broken, of the political charlatans with
whom the British West Indies have been
afflicted in late years.
We read Of the Grenada roads having
suffered from land slips aud choked drains,
the consequence CT heavy rains. We can
only say that, if any amount OF rain can
make Grenada roads worse than they
generally are, they must be bad enough.
When we knew them ourselves, they were
simply a mockery of roads, at least those
in the country part of the island were.
Innocent of Mac Adam and his ways, the
Granadians mend their roads by cleaning
out the cutters, AID carefully spreading
the MID so obtained all over the road,
thus "preparing the land to plant h%orses,'
as we once heard it wltlily described.
And certainly q rider has to keep well
away from the centre OF a newly mended
Grenada road after a rain, unless he wish
es to sink to the girth, or at least the
knees.
Ofone of the causes OF a want OF labour
the Chronicle says: 80,
cit cannot be denied, that Grenada, with
her wide spread acres of unprotected virgin
soil, presents the means for acquiring IN
dependence. A man with his family
souats in the interior ;-he cultlvates his
provisions, and, may be, cocoa ;-he pays
no rent for the occupancy his require
ments are a peice of salt fish, a finder box
his garden furnishes the provisions, thus
located, in a year OF two he becomes
possessed of one or two hundred dollars
The land Spectator purchases an aban-
doned estate for a nominal figure and sells
his aces to advantage readily tins Is
another inducement to become lndepen-
dent, and to account for the shortness Of
laJour in the cane-Gelds.
Il entertain the opinion that the
present system Of small domestic farming
SO to speak, now rapidly increasing to mn
portauce, may ere long form a new era 10
the history of Grenada, IN which her
future prosperity must be identified. The
parish from which I write presents this
fact. Some twenty five years ago. TWEEN
ty-three sugar estates were in sugar cnl'
%tivation out of which, at the present
time, one is fully established IN cocoa SIX

By an advertisement, which APP
pears elsewhere, it will be seen that
in anticipation of the repeal of the
conventional rate of interest law
there is a borrower already in the
market, who wants $40, 900 for
twelve months at six per cent. The
gentleman can give satisfactory Sc
curity or collaterals. He appeals
directly to the members of the leg
islature, and if no one of them in
favor of the repeal has that
amount to lend, he would
take smaller sums in round
amounts. Here is an opportunity
for the gentlemen who vote without
arguing the question to prove that
they believe six per cent. is enough.
Let them prove their faith by their
works. The notes given for the
money will be liable to taxation for
the face value the same as other
personal property, and in the hands
of those recently vested with the
law-making power would Of course
be reported for assessment, and the
revenue would go into the State
Treasury. 1t is very easy TO
demonstrate sincerity of purpose,
if not to illustrate the working
of a theory. If those who adj
vocate the proposed repeal will
step to the front and offer to
loan money, in large or small sums,
at six per cent, they will find takers
who can put up fve.twenties as col
lateral. Why? Because money is
worth to many borrowers eight, ten
and even twelve per cent, and they
are willing to give it regardless of
legal restrictions. Instead Of re-
lief the proposed measure will
work a hardship; for the borrowers,
who seem to be rather numerous,
will be more than ever at the mercy
Of the lender-the many will be at
the mercy of the few. The bill will
pass, we feel sure, without much
being said in its support, and the
evil consequence will be felt for
many a year. Money ought to bring
just what it is worth-the same as
the productions of the soil which
it represents in a convenient form.
The borrower ought to know what
he is able to give as well as the
lender to know what he can take.

will pass soon and become a law,
thereby reducing the fare to five
cents, the rate fixed in the charter

matter is looked into it is doubtful
whether the City Railway Company

more than five cents. An amend
