The Canadian farmers, we should judge, will pay much more attention to the well considered deciarations of the farmers organizations as to the effect of the protective tariff on agriculture,than to the deceptive statements of Tory orators st election times. They are nearly balf in number of the workers of Canadsa, and any farmer who imagines that the combines and proâ€" tected ‘interests are supporting the the tariff to help the farmer, had better go out behind the barn and figure out whom their profits come from. ‘The cotton combine clear annually $352,â€" 595 on an investment of $1,650,000. or over 21 per cent.

B. sadly, ‘and it‘s the only tie there is between us now.‘ pecuniary interests as a prudent mau l ought to be, I assure you that I see no adverse effect or influence as a result of the tariff reform which the leaders of my party proposs to initiate. The watchword of the Liberal party is ‘reâ€" form,‘ not revolution, and that is an assurance that should satisfty any rea. sooable business man. The decline in the value of farm lands and the slow growth of the rural population indicate | that ali is not well with agriculture, | which is and must be the staple industry of our young, large and sparsely popuâ€" . lated country, The farmers of Ontario | constitute about 60 per cent of our | consuming population. _ They are the customers of the storekeepers, who are the customers of wholesale firms, aod the latter are the customers of the manufacturers. Unless the prosperity of the consuming farming population is assured, {the whole fabric of industrial enterprise is in jeopardy. Any modiâ€" fication of taxation, any saving of reâ€" sources, any enlargement of mnrkeh‘ which can ameliorate the condition of the farmer will inevitably. react hvor‘ ably upon those engaged in the proâ€" duction and distribution of manutacturâ€" } ed goods. It is by these means, and not by heroic tariff increases, that the industriat depression must be reâ€" moved, and the who‘e country bronght‘ back to a state of prosperity.‘ | ‘ The development of our pork industry of late years has been mostly due, not to the protective tariff, but, as Prof, Baunders, bead of the Dominion Exâ€" perimental Farm, pointed out, to the The imports of osts were two million bushels as compared with 70,000,000 bughels grown here, while the exports wore more than the imports and were sold at a higher price. The imports of meat under a revenue tariff, except pork products, were very trifling. A great splurge is made over what would happen the butchers and farmers from Armour‘s aod Swift‘s meat, should the tariff be reduced to a revenue basis, Well, when we had a revenue tariff, the imports of beef in 1878 were only $31,792. And with beef selling here at 3¢ to 4c. and in Chicago at 3J¢ to 4}¢c, what is the chance of such a yarn as that coming to pass, did the duty come down a little 1 When complaint was made as to the imports of American wheat in 1878, it was found that our farmers received $1.22 a,bushel for the four millions ex: ported, while the five millions imported were sold for $1.15 (a bushel. It was better to export than to sell at home When there is a normal supply of grnin products, the Canadian market is supplied by the Caunadian products alâ€" most exclusively and the rest is exâ€" ported. In times of scarcity in the home market, the protective tariff helps a few farmers by runoing up the price when all the buik of the crop is sold. The feow gain all the expeuse of the many. The placing of a heavy duty on American grain and meat products affec‘ts the Canadian farmer or producer very littleâ€"in fact, to the great bulk of them it brings no gain at all. PROTECTION DOES NOT HELP THE FARMER. bealth, The blossoms cannot be cut too much for the wellâ€"being of the plants. One secret in securing early and vigor ous bearing is to plant the seed earâ€" Iiyâ€"in March, if possibleâ€"as soon as the condition of the soil will permit, and to plant deep, say six inches, coverâ€" ing the seed with one inch of earth, and filling in gradually as the plants grow. The chespening of the choice seed cannot go on. They must be dearer before they can be better. In culture tl:'o‘gu does best in moist cl:{ land, so five inches deep, wi fertilizer below and no rank matter above, Bush strongly, pinch tops when six feet high.h1thpodn picked off, water freely while bloominyâ€"Ameriâ€" ‘ A Metbodist clergyman, of Evansâ€" tonm, Iil., has a sweetâ€"pea farm from which, in the season, he picks 50,000 blossoms daily. He began to raise the flowers for pleasure, but soon found such a demand for them in Chisago, because of their size and beauty and the many varieties, that he was led to make a business of it. A Scottish growâ€" er says in‘ Loodon Garden,‘ that sweet pes colors are less bright there than in the south of England, but the cooler climate prolongs the season to the verge of winter. He finds the best fertilizer to be soot, applied as a surâ€" face dressing. 1t makes the foliage darker and the flowers brighter and clearer in color. Clipping the sboots when they reach the top of the sticks causes a crop of side shoots to break, and keeps the plant in more vigorous bealth. The blossoms cannot be cut too There is no doubt thet a smaller number of men could transact the busiâ€" ness of the County Council as quickly and possibly as safely and well as the present number, provided that they had the necessary knowledge at hand. It must not be forgotten, however,that a large part of the duty of each mem:â€" ber of the County Council is to bring to the council chamber his quota of local knowledge of the needs of the roads, bridges and other matters withâ€" in the cognizance of the council,â€" as well as of the feeling and desires of the people in his locality. It is agreed by all persons ofexperience in County Councils that the actual business is, even at present, directed in each county by afew of the isading members. It is equally well agreed that if they were not informed by the less prominent members of all the facts nmr opinions nacessary to Le considered before deterâ€" miniog any course of action, that they would of necessity be obliged to go to. various localities and acquaint themâ€" selves with these facts on the ground. It is doubtfal if anything could be saved in the matter of time, certainly nothing in matter of expense, if this course were pursued; and pursued it must be unless the more dangerous course of proceeding without informaâ€" tion should be adopted. Thedifficulty is that a eomidor:%le part of the work of the County Council is work requirâ€" ing an immens6 amount of local inforâ€" mation, and this caunot usually be had by a few men without each of them making a special effort ‘to getit, while men in the immediate locality gather the information without effort. Itis a rn of their every day life. This point not of as great importance as it was in the time of the District Councils because the territory proposed to be under the County Council now is much smaller than that which was under the the old District Council. The importâ€" ance is still further lessened becaure Township Councils take charge of a large amount of the necessarily localâ€" ized municipal work. â€"J. M. McEvoy in June Caxapianx Macaztx®. This year‘s budgetâ€"the annual statement of the nation‘s housekeepâ€" ingâ€"is the most wonderful the country bas ever seen. What does it tell us ! That, despite the fact that we are the lightest taxed country in Europe, we last year ruised m revenue of £101,974 000 with less trouble and suffering than forty years ago we could have raised £50,000,000. We have paid off some £8,000,000 of debt ; given £2, 000,000 to the uavy, £1,000,000 as a special gratuity to the land, and & nice \liwle bonus to the elementary schools .out of the year‘s income, ‘all without imposing a new tax. This extraordinâ€" ary revenue is raised, be it rememberâ€" ed, under a fiscal system stripped of any protective taint, and is accompanâ€" ied by a steady and unique growth in the prosperity of the country and in the comfort of its inhabitants. No other country in the world is so well off as is the happy England which some delight to malign; in no other country in the world are resuits so ma«goific nt bosâ€" sible. To the financial administrators of the past forty years our readers owe a debt they cian never adequately reâ€" pay.

Into an alley on Fifth etreet, between Jefferson and Market, a young fellow who kad the appearance of a country hayseed wandered yestarday and stood near the entrance,gazing up at the show bills, reading them aloud and spelling them aloud as he read. He attracted the attention of a râ€"by, who gathered around him lng commenced guying hios. He stood it pretty well for awhile, and suddenly faced about in reply to a query as to what be was doing, and said to his questioner : ,‘I‘ve jist bin waitin‘ to see how long a gentleman sould stand here and mind his own business before some durned fool would ask him what he was adoin‘.‘ He then quietly walked up the street. * The Doctor‘s Advice, Tom met an old friend wh» was formally a prosperous youog lumberman up in northern Minnesota, but whose bad habits of drinking brought him to & pretty ‘bard up‘ condition, although he hrs since reformed and is doing better, / ‘How are you T‘ asked Tom. ‘Pretty |well, thank you, but I have just seen a doctor to have him examine my thmr' ‘What‘s the matter T *Well, jthe doctor couldn‘t give me any encouragement.
