We have, it is true, free trade among

with foreign countries are necessarily

pays us no taxes; he is not amenable
to our laws; he perforates no civil or

of the Canadian Government or its
progress and prosperity. • Upon what

product here to compete with ours, this
being our home, our natural market,
your competing projects must have
attached to them a condition, and that
condition is the payment of duties,
which must go into the Dominion

rest upon them."

A Montreal coutemporary thinks it
has found figures which show that the
Canadian woollen industry has declined
under protection. The Canadian wool-
len industry in free trade 1878 required
4,608,000 pounds of foreign wool to
supply its mills, In 1894, which was.
a somewhat dull year too, it required
7,166,00 pounds of foreign wool, and in
1888, which was a fairly good year, it
took 10,503,000 pounds. A decadent
industry does not make a record like
this,
When Jim Someville tackled Rev. Dr.
Benson, in a scandal hunting venture,

be quite wrathful at the suggestion
that he was hunting for a scandal! He,
Jim Somevillo, scandal-hu.nting! ' But
Jim didn't know when he was well off,
He wont on to enquire into the private
espouses of the reverend gentleman
during his trip to Britain, and was
promptly called down by the chairman.
The Grit, scandal -hunter has no sense
of propriety, no idea of decency.
The Montreal Star speaking of how
Canada escaped to a very large extent
the commercial deluge which swept
over the United States and Great Brit-
ain
ritain during the past three years says: -
"Our tariff dyke kept the contagion out
of this country. For proof that it did
so, we refer the Globe to the claims of
national prosperity made by the Liber-
al Provincial Goyernments—authori-
ties for which it undoubtedly has the
highest respect. But had the dyke
been down, we should probably have
taken our share of the panic with New
York, Ohio and the New England
States.
.NOTES -4. ND CONI lIENTS.
The condition of the crops through•
out the entire wheat growing North-
west promises great results. Farmers
in every quarter appear pleased and
are confident that present indications
will materialize. Reports from' some
places say that the harvest will com-
mence earlier than last year, and that
the yield wily exceed anything ever
known of bnfote in the western country.
Reports were received at Snperintend-
car Whyte's office by telegram yester-
day from all points, and their general
tone is most encouraging.

The Minister of Justice has recom-
mended the remittance of the sentence
of Edward Bowers to one year; and the
Governor-General has acted upon the
advice. McByoy, Wilson & Pope, coun-
sel for Bowers, Monday received inti•
mation of the action taken. Bowers
was Sentenced on October 10th, 1894,
and with the tune allowed off for good
conduct he will be liberated about the
middle of • A.ugust. The reduction of
the sentence will be generally favored
here. The unfortunate prisoner, it will
be remembered, was a resident of Bid-
dulph township, close by the scene of
Donnelly- tragedy. Ile had been threat-
ened with some calamity for having
taken up a mortgaged farm, and think-
ing an assault was contemplated upon
himself and family by a' crowd assein•

turned a bill for tnanslaughter, The

has fanned the fire intoa blaze, and
moot' valuable timber has been des-

have been reduced to ashes The farm-
ers have ploughed around the burning
districts, often without success, and
'Sundays have been added to the days
devoted to fighting fire. The scene is

About seven years ago one of Morris
township's best farmers, who is the hab•
it of growing rape for Fall "feed' got in
mistake a species of rape which is
grown principally for the seed which is
manufactured into oil or ground for
feeding purposes. This species is en-
tirely worthless for Fall pasture as it
blossoms and produces seed the same
year in which it is sown. The farmer
referred to, howover, allowed sd this crop
to get up to a considerable height be
fore putting stock on it, The result
was that a great amount of the seed
matured and fell to the ground and
although the land was seeded to grass.
the following• spring and remained so
for six years, the seed was found on ac-
count of its oily nature,to be sound and
growing vigorously amongst the 'grain,
similar to wild mustard, necessitating
the labor of pulling in order to get rid
of it. Had the crop been plowed down
when it first came is blossom, it would
have saved much annoyance and labor.
The following is going the rounds of
the press, and we think that now is a
favorable titne to insert it: We .pre-
sume some neople think we newspaper
men are presistent duns, but let a farm-
er place himself in a similiar business
position. and see if he would not do the
same. Suppose he raises a crop of one
thousand bushels of wheat, and his
neighbor should come to buy a bushel,
and the price was only the :mall sum
of two dollars, or less, and the neighbor.
says, "I will pas you the sum ilia very
few days," As the farmer doa't want
to be small in the matter he says "All
right." Another comes in, the same
way, until the whole of the one thous-
and bushels are gone out to one thous
and different .persons,• and not one of
the purchasers concerns himself about
it, for it is, a small account he owes the
farmer, and, of coiuse, that could not
help him any, He does not realize
that the farmer has frittered away his
crop of wheat in !idle dribbles, and
that he is fearfully embarrased in his
business because his debtors treat it as
a little matter. But if all would pay
bine promptly, which they could do as
well as not. it would be ;a very; large
amount indeed to the farmers, ` and
would enable hint to carry on his _busi-
ness without difficulty.
