We received ' last week a circular from "The Anti-l/overty Society," Toronto, in which are printed a series of resolntions in favor of certain changes in the land law, as a remedy for poverty, with a request that we use oar influence in the promulgation of the prmciples therein contained. It is our humhle opinion that the rules of such a society should insist upon economy, sobriety and industry as essential conditions of deliverance from poverty rather than the mere changes of certain existing laws. In- stead of this there is not a word men* tioned as that inch principles are eyen desired. Who are the well-to-do class of to- day, or even the wealthy? Did they not rise from very humble positions in life, if notIfrom|poyeity Yes, you say, at least the great majority. Then how did this desirable state of afiairs come about Was it by oertam laws of the land being peculiarly advan- tageous to that class,^or was it not in ninety-nine classes out of one hundred the reward of self-denial and persis- tant individual effort This is, we believe, the true remedy. ha believes his eonstitotKm has tafcea a ohange, and ihe oId«a£taziih of the stomach, with whidi he used to be afflicted, has almosti entirely left him since his tiip across the eontinait last year. â€" ^The insmraace men of the count* rr do not seem to be united in their opinions upon their own business, the doctors in that line differing as they do in others. We find, for instance, in the last issue of The Budget, which calls itself "Canada's Insurance Journal," an article condemning in the strongest terms the system of paying agents by commission. The Budget points out (audit seems reason- able enough) ^that, under the com- mission system, the agent is paid as much for a bad risk as for a good one, and as the company wants good risks only, the interest of the company and the agent do not run on the same line. The Budget advocates payment of agents by guaranteed salary with a commission on the profits, thus mak iag it to the agent's intereist to make his branch a paying one to the com- pany. NOTE ANF COMMENT. â€"Up to last Saturday fifteen miles of the Bed Eiver Valley railway had been graded. â€" A train load of English stallions arrived at Stratford last week. Most of the horses will remain in Ontario. â€" His Excellency the Governor General, with Lady Lansdowne, will open the Toronto flndnstrial Exhibi- tion on Tuesday the 6th September. â€" Edward Hanlan is once more cbampioB oarsman of America, hav- ing won a race for the championship by quarter of a mile ai lake Calumet near Chicago last Saturday. HThe Eev. E. H. Dewart, D. D., edi- tor of the Christian Guardian, has Deen appointed by the Government a mem- ber of the Univei^itv Senate of Toron- to in place of the late Sur Matthew Crooks Cameron. What the States are bothered with just now is too large a revenac. Last revenue year they bad more than a hundred million of dollars above what they needed. And every kind of cor- rupt dodge is resorted to in order to get it spent. "Why not abolish a good •many taxes and lower others The remedy seems easy and likely to be efficient. -^The Christian Guardian is, in the fullest sense a first-class religious and family paper, and we notice re- cently, material improvements in more than one respect. Its "Notes and Gleanings" are shorter, yet more DumeroQS, comprehensive and point- ed. Inereased attention is also given to "personal paragraphs" such as brief items of general Church news taken from exchanges. Beeiprocity with the States is still the question of the hour and is taking hold of a very large proportion of the people, especially among the farmers. All over the peninsula, and away along the shores of Lake Erie, the feeling is specially strong. Commercial trayel- lers and others who have no interest m misrepresenting matters, testify that wherever they go this feeling is uppermost. They argue that Canada had Beeiprocity before and that in* stead of fostehng annexation, it com- pletely killed it. And why, they ask, may not this be again Besides, if Beeiprocity is best for the material and social interests of the great majority of Canadians, why should it not be gone in for In any case it can do nothing but good to have the whole question considered in all its relations and lights. To foreclose discussion by shouting treason or by threatening personal violence will never do. It will only precipitate what is sought to be avoided. Argument, and argument alone will carry the day. The silver- smiths of Ephesuii were no doubt yery zealous for the honor of Diana, but the fact of the matter was, they were far more troubled about their craft being in danger. Hence those tears, and all that shouting. Evidently those silver- smiths of the olden times have a good many successors m Canada, who shout most lustily, "Patriotism," while what they are all the while most concerned about ie their own pocket. â€" [Truth.

Splendid Wheat. â€" Mr. Henry Parker, the old established seedsman and chemist, has always shown an in- telligent interest in farming and owns one of the best cultivated places in the South Biding of Grey. It is unneces- sary to refer to his thoroughbred cattle now, for we are not writing about that, but it is well known that he put hun- dreds of dollars into their pockets by introducing the Clawson wheat and he is doing them just as good service by sowing the famous Manchester wheat, for which he paid ten dollars a bushel. Wo believe it is his intention to dis- tribute about a quart of this variety, to the leading farmers of the district who deal with him. It is a perfect success and although sowed in inferior ground looks splendid and will be a magnificent yield. If there is a real farmer's friend in South Grey it is Henry Parker, although be is very un- ostentatious about it. â€" [Clu'onicle.
