French Canadian Refatriation-
It is gratifying, at Least to Canad-
ians, to observe that the financial de-
pression in the UnitedStatea is draw-
ing back to Canada Iarge numbers of
French Canadians, who since leaving
here have been operatives in mills in
New England, new running an short
time owing to the depression. It will
be equally gratifying if these people re-
main in this country, but unfortunately,
unless they have turned Protestant dur-
ing their absence in the States,.. they
will find the conditions they fled from
unchanged,so that should the States
soon recover from the panic, it is alto-
gether probable that they will return to
their New England homes and in all
likelihood take many others with them.
They left Quebec originally to escape
the Who and fabrique assessments and
other chargee for the benefit of the
churoh fastened upon them by Quebec
Law, which is specially supported by
laws of the British Parliament and
treaties between France and England,
and which constitute the "rights" the
French often tell no af. They went to
a country where the law does not cores
pel them to pay tithes and fabrique as-
sessments to any church. Getting out
of employment there they have returned
to their Canadian homes, where they
find no change with respect to the ex-
traordinary powers the law gives their
church. If they have turned Protestant
while away they can escape the operat-
ion of the law and refuse to pay any as-
sessments that the church may make.
But if they remain Roman Catholics
and have net had an awakening of con-
science the Courts ofQuebec will enforce
the demands of the church upon them,
as it always did. It is not unreasonable
therefore to expect that should a tido
of prosperity set in again in the States,
they will return to where the lawdoes
not compel them to hand over all their
earnings to their spiritual guides, as it
does in Quebec, while the immense
wealth that thus gets into the possess-
ion of the Church, amounting to a total
of 120 millions, being by law exempt
from taxation, does not pay a dollar to-
wards the maintenance of a country
whose laws are so beneficial to them.
If Canada wiabes to retain these people,
the tithe, the fabrique assessment and
the exemption of church possessions
from taxation must be abolished. When
that work is done we should set about
amending the arrangement under which
Quebec gets as much from the Domin-
ion as Ontario does, although owing to
the fact that her people purohaae no
goods ubjeet to revenue charges, Que-
bec contributes little or nothing towares
the exchequer from which the pravin•
cial subsidies are drawn. •
The Wheat situation
The wheat situation showsrno sign of
improvement, notwithstanding it is pre-
dicted that there is a brighter future in
store for wheat -holders- One thing is
certain, that with present depressed
prices farmers do not intend to market
their wheat (at least in this part of Ont-
ario). AU through this district
farmers are making preparations tofeed
their wheat crop to hogs and turn it
into pork, It is estimated that one
bushel of wheat ground will make from
13 to 15 pounds of pork, and this will
secure to the feeder something like $1
a bushel for his wheat at the present
price of pork, instead of 60 centseseeekee
The amount of wheat now in transit
to Europa, with the visible supply of
wheat in the United States and Canada,
fit equivalent to 92,881,000 bushels,
against 52,683,000 one year ago, show-
ing the large increase at 40,500,000
bushels, and this at a time when the
new crop is commencing to move, and
after an immense amount of the old crop
has been sold ani shipped from this
continent. It has been advanced, says
the Trade Bulletin, that a Iarge proport-
ion of the new crops onthis side has been
sold for future delivery in England, and
the parties who sold would materially
strengthen the market when forced to
buy in order to fill their contracts. This
and a great deal more was urged as a
reason fora further immediate advance
in prices, and a large number of outsid-
ers bought on the strength of it, and
they may be right in spite of the react-
ion referred to. Still the wholly unex-
pected decline of a few days ago told 'n
pretty clear characters that the big
stooks in sightat this particular period,
when they may soon be expected to.
show material aug,nentation,were not
without their natural_ effect. It must
also be borne in mind that the compares

another kind of law to prevent those

Trouble at the Model iFarin.
Some time ago graduates of the Ontario
Agricultural College petitioned for au in-
vestigation into the want of ;,bartnony
among the officers of the college and farm.
The Government ordered such an inquiry
to be made by Mr. John Winchester, of
Toronto, master in chambers ; Mr. John
Waterworth, of Wardsville, Middlesex,
and Mr. John. 8 Pearce, of London The
commissioners lay the chief blame for the
want of harmony on Mgr. Shaw, professor
of agriculture, at the farm, and they also
tenaure Mr. 7I. B. Sharman, the assistant
chemist, and Mr. Johnston. E. Storey, the
farm foreman, Mr. Sharman has resigned
and it seems probable, Prof. Shaw will do
likewise. The commissioners find that
Prof. Shaw has been communicating with
the students in such a way as to impair
the authority of the Minister of Agricul-
ture and of Prof. Mills, president of the
college.
