Whenever the farming interest is hit by a fall in prices those engaged in ag- n'iculture are prone to believe the state= meats of cunning politicians who may think to advance their cause by evil prophecies, There hare been no great- er sinners a this kind than Sir Richard. Cartwright and Hon. Mr. Laurier. Sir Diehard leas boldly stated that the farm- ers have suffered a loss in round num- bers of $200,000,000 in the last decade, and Mr. Laurier gives as his opinions that the farms of Outerio have in the same period depreciated. in value by 25 g>er cent: Both these assertious are di• redly contradicted by the statistics of the Mowat Government. A return of the municipal assessment for the ten years between 1881 and 1891 issued from Mr. Blue's departmeut last year, shows that there were in this Province an 1881 20,057,000 acres of laud assess. ed for taxation, and of the value of 383,795,000, or about eighteen dollars an acre. From that year there was a gradual increase in value. In 1882 it went up six millions of dollars, and by 1884 an increase of twelve millions was recorded. In 1892 there were 82,885, 000 acres of the assessed value of $446,- 5S6,000, or an increase of 81.50 per acre oyer 1881. Thus Mr. Blue fur- nishes an effectiye answer to the dis paraging assertions of the Grit leaders nal the House of Commons. .AN E l GLISIL1L-IY ON FREE TRADE. Jerome K. Jerome's paper to -day de_ picts a very bad state of affairs under fres trade as they have it in England. .Agriculture in the old land is depress ed but manufacturing is also in a bad way and for those who do not live upon the interest of a private fortune it is difficult to know what the future holds of hope. Elere is some editorial musing upon the subject: "In the measureable fu- ture it will be a question whether any English manufacturer can pay his way, and then -what is to become of our army of workers? To offer them 'a free breakfast table' will be no answer to a man looking for.. employment. Free trade has praetically killed agriculture already, and made us of necessity a land of coal pits and smoky factories That may very good as far as it goes but what is to become of us when free trade, having rendered it impossible for us to grow our own food, also render it impossible for us to earn our living by manufacture? To save a few pence a yard on our wife's print frock we pay the price of thousands of out -of -work operatives in Lancashire. We hold up our bands in horror at the hard-hearted farmer, but it is we, my good. friends, with our cheap loaf made from imported corn, who have driven the agricultural laborers to swell the useless swarmof unneeded life in our great towns, and wile pay the few remaining on the land a starvation wage that does not enable them to keep themselves and their fam- ilies from actual daily hunger." It would be far from the truth to pre- tend that this is the prevalent view in Britian, but it represents a sentiment which is steadily growing under the continuous misfortunes attending every branch of productive industry in the islands. MANITOBA'S REPLY. The Goverment of Manitoba bas at 'last made its reply to the message of the Dominion Government conyeying the decision of the Privy Council of England on the Manitoba Schools ques- tion. The reply is couched in courte- ous yet dignified terms and amounts in substance to a re -affirming the former stand taken by the Province in the mat- ter. Premier Greenway recognizes the fact that the Ottawa Government had loo alternative in the matter but that it merely transmitted an order as in- structed to do by the highest authority in the empire. As the Home Govern- reent transmitted the decision to Can- ada under coyer of an order in -Council, •dally signed by her Majesty at Wind- sor, so the Ottawa Goveroment.having ueeived it, was bound by the Imperial mandate to send it on to Winnipeg, dewing the transmission as an admin- istrative duty, Mr. Greenway natural- ly dealS with the subject matter, even 'when he disapproved of one of the sug- gestions offered, in careful terms, The Point at which disapproval is expressed leis reference to the view that the Fed - Orel power has proposed that the educa- tional infirmities of 1$90 be restored. This idea was advanced by Mr, Sifton clairing llis campaign' in Ontario' and no doubt.' Mr.. Greenway felt that he. ought not tollpass it oyer. Bat it re- quires a strained interpretation of the Dominion suggestion to enable one to reach the conclusion that Manitoba has been asked to re-establish ineffiei- eney where inefficiency previously ex - Wed. No words can be found 'in the Dominion document to convey the im-pression that the Ottawa Government ever hinted that ,it would. be advisable to establish Separate schools, free from State inspection, . taught by teachers who are not qualified to teach, and turning out illiterate and in fact ignor- aut pupils. Mr. Greenway very pro- perly objects to state aided schools without state control and pleads for further time and an enquiry to be made, These facts point to a settle- ment of the affair in a peaceable way and that too by the province itself, It is a great pity these matters should be party brought in to the arena of Dominion party polities where they do not belong if Manitoba can arrive at a solution of the difficulty so much the better and every loyal Cauadian will wish then success in arriving at an amicable set- tlement of. a vexed question EDITORIAL NOTES. No goods purchased abroad are cheap that take the place of our own labor and our own raw material. Eyery dollar sent abroad to purchase goods that we can produce at home makes us a dollar the poorer, Our government should be as exact- ing from foreigners as from Canadians, Make them pay duty, while we pay taxes. It is better for Canada to feed, clothe and house our own labor at home, than to support foreign labor in other countries with our money, Protection compels every foreign manufacturer tc pay into the Canadian Treasury the money he has saved by not paying his workmen as such as Canadian workmen receive, before he is allowed to sell his goods in this coun- try. The town that goes off to trade will be poor, The nationthat stops its own mills and buys from a foreign country will be poor. They will have your money and you will have idle mills and empty boxes. A protective tariff keeps our goods made by cheap labor, gives our own laboring men employment and keeps our own money at home. ' The Grits say the people are getting, poorer. How does the assertion square with the following facts: In 1871 the deposits of the Canadian people in chartered banks were $15.4$ per head; in 1891 they had risen to $35.40; in 1871 the deposits in saving banks were $2.96 per head; in 1881, $5.44; in 1891, $10,42; while in 1893 they were $1.1.02 per head. The Grits will have hard work to convince the people that these figures bespeak poverty. In his budget debate speech Dr. Montague referred to the Liberal pro- fessions of economy and contrasted them with the Liberal practices when the party has the opportunity to put its professions into force, All of which re- calls the fact that there has never been a Liberal administration in Canada, either federal or provincial, which has curtailed expenditure, or lowered taxes or reduced the debt. An English exchange in a recent' issue says: " Cheap food is excellent if you have the money to buy it; but a threepenny loaf is of little value to a man with only three halfpence in his pocket, and of less value still to the man who has nothing. Free trade has given us cheap goods, and it has taken away employment from English ',',work- ers to an alarming extent. 'If we were all consumers living on !an income de- rived from . an investment in consols, Free Trade could not be too highly praised," The New York Commercial Advertis- er got off, in a recent issue, the follow- ing truths about Canada: There is not a community in the world of 5,000,000 in numbers more free from objectionable elements "than Canada. Canadians are well yersed in the art of self-government. They clear- ly understand that true liberty is not license, therefore they have profour:d respect for law and constitutional means and methods. They demand honest money. They have adopetd gold as a single standard of exchange or meas- ure of values. There is not any de mend in Canada for rag money or a debased silver currency. Although an ultra -loyal people they believe in pro- tection to Canadian lndubtries in pre- ference to those of Mother England. They have as many miles of railway per capita as we have, and they have common sense enough not to embarrass their railway systems with adverse leg- islation. The history of their banking system is most creditable to their skill in finance. ROSEBFRY. STEPS OUT His Resignation Placedin the Hands,. of the queen,. LARD SALISBURY ,'SUMMONED lie Will be Entrusted With the Boring tion er u l►Iiui'stry -7 ho Radicals anil, the Conmmander- in - Chief— , Prince' Henry of Itettonberg as Viceroy of India; London, Juno $2.—The Goverin!it was de.eaced yesterday on the motion of Mr, Williaiu St, John Broderick, Conservative member for the Guilford division of Sur- rey, to reduce the salary of the Secretary of War by £100 on account of an alleged deficiency in the ariny stores and mun- itions of war, chiefly cordite. The motion was adopted by a vote of, 132 to 125. Pro- gress was immediately reported.. The general belief • expressed this even- ing is that the defeat of the Government means a crisis. The business of the ses- sion can be wetted td in short order. The result of the division was so unexpected that whoa the paper was Banded to the Opposition whip, Mr. Akers -Douglas, to rend the figures lie returned it to the Gov - imminent whip 1vlr. Edward T, Ellis, who had about read it,' When he saw it was ii defeat, arid returned it to Mr. Douglas,• who, as the Opposition had won, was en- titled. to announce the figures, Mr, Doug- las read them and prolonged and •vocifer- ous Opposition queering followed. The Conservative leader, Mr: ' Balfour, then asked what course the Government pro- posed to take, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir 1Viliian 'Vernon. Harcourt, announced that the Governineht would proceed -with a non -contentious, bill, and the lfonse proceeded to discuss the Naval Works bill. The Unionists are jubilant at such au Unexpected victory, Tile Opposition whips only issued an ordinary "whip," but there was an immense ahiannt of private can- vassing clone to bring up their supporters. The division took place daring the din- ner hour, and some of the Government supporters had left the House. London, June 23.—It` is officially an- nounced that the Rosebery Government will resign. Lord Salisbury will be sum-' moned by the Queen to form a Ministry, and his Cabinet will proceed with the routine business of the House, obtain provisional supplies, and then dissolve Parliament. The court circular contains the follow- ing:—" The ollow- ing:"The Earl of Rosebery; First Lord of the Treasury, and President of the Council, arrived at Windsor Castle Satur- day, and tendered his resignation to her Majesty, by whom it was 'accepted." Her Majesty sent for Lord Salisbury, who will proceed' to, Windsor Castle to- morrow, when ho wilT'.be entrusted with. the formation of a Ministry. It is generally supposed that Mr. Chamberlain will leave a position in the Salisbury Cabinet,. but what his office will bo is purely a'matter of conjecture as yet. It is stated that in his interview with the Queen Lord Rosebery, after' inform- ing her as to the status of affairs, advised her to summon Lord Salisbury to forma Government. Lieut. -061. .Arthur 23igge; an assistant private secretary, tp .'the Queen, to -day conveyed her Majesty's summons do Hatfield : House Lerd;Salis-, bury's residence in Hertfordshire. . Lord Salisbury will obtain the views of the Duke- of Devonshire, .the Liberal - Unionist loader in the House of Lords, before he "goes to Windsor, to -morrow. Mr. Chamberlain' had an interview' with the Duke of Devonshire on. Saturday and afterwards Mr. Chamberlain received visits from several of his Liberal -Unionist followers. It is not doubtedthat a joint Ministry will be formed of Liberal Unionists and Conservatives and that' it will be called a 'Unionist Government.. When it became known in the clubs this. evening that Lord Salisbury had been summoned by the Queen it was' said that ho would not consent to form a Ministry with the present Rouse of Commons and that he would recommend the Queen to dissolve 'Parliament. The Unionist rank and file advise a prompt appeal to the country. They believe that they will be able to obtain a majority of eighty in the next Parliament. They are now very en- thusiastic and sanguine. Prime Minister Rosebery telegraphed to Mr. Gladstone at Kiel an account of the situation. It is reported that Mr. Glad- stone advises strongly against' the resigns, tion of the Government, and recommends that a vote of confidence be taken. He has communicated with Mr. 'Campbell Bannerman to remain in office, and to support bis colleagues. without regard to his personal feelings. • ' The Radicals are privately attacking the Ministry concerning the report that the Mike of `Connaught will succeed the Duke of Cambridge as 'Commander -in-. Chief of the British arniy. They have boon assured that the question is as yet unsettled, and that Field Marshal Wolse- ley or General Lord Roberts is more like- ly than the Duke of Connaught ,to suc- ceed to the commandership. This assur- ance, it may be said, is not credited. It is certain that if the appointment is made• when the Conservatives aro in power the successor to the Duke of Cambridge will be the Duke of Connaught. Mr. Fowler,, Secreary of State for India, returned yes- terday from Balmoral, whore the nomin- ation of Prince 'Henry of Battenberg, as, Vice-roy of India was considered: Prince Henry, it will be recalled,' is a son. -in-law of the Queen. In this respect the Cabinet crisis has a welcome side to •the Ministers, postponing their decision of an unpleas- ant subject on which; they must collide with the Queen. 'Horsewhipped by Masked Meep. 'Carton, June 4.—Mrs. Huff, who took poison on. Sunday, will likely recover. It will be .remembered that she attempted suicide because her husband was a worth- less, drunken wretch, who beat her and her children. About midnight Saturday some thirty masked mon visited the Huff house, and unsuccessfully tried to coax Huff outside, but, finally they dragged him out into the road and gave him a Horsewhipping. They then warned him to leave town by to -night er they would repeat the dose. A Big Haul of 11`lsh.

Minneapolis, June' 21.—The Hayward case was presented to the judge Wednes day afternoon in chambers and a stay of thirty days was granted upon condition that the case be argued during this term, which ends July 3. Hayward was to have been executed to -day. It is generally be- lieved that a new trial will be refused and the condemned man will likely be exe- cuted soinetime during the month of July. He has already expressed himself as being opposed to any unnecessary delay if he is to be executed. Another Confession by Welter.
