The Cherryfipld correspondent Of the
M.chiAs Republican complains that the
army Of BURBERRY pickefs in that neigh
bo,bood are sggrisved at the unjust com
petition" that they encounter from the
packers across The line. The correspond
ent says 1t is reported that there were
thirty thousand cases of New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia berries sold in Boston last
week At prices that are runous to this i'm
po,tsnt Industry. The duty on the,e goods
10 thirty per cent. and they we're valued At
seventy five cents Q case, which is Desrly
t.o-thirds less than sotusl cost. The fact
that these berries were gathered from the
Queen's lands free Of rent, ard labor being
much cheaper. will have the effect to nearly
drive the American packers from the mar
kets. 1t is the opinion that 'hs Mckinley
tariff law should be revised or measures be
AIKEN to tut stop to the under value dodge
Of the Bluenoses.
