ETRENORMENT AND REFORM Twelve and fifteen yearsago the money value of an Ontario farmer's anttput was considerably greater than that of the present day. His income enabled him to live comfortably and, put by something against old age or a rainy day. Government officials were few in number and their salaries were moderate but just accordingly to the ;services rendered, In 1882 the total .expenditure of the Local Government of Ontario was 82,918,826 while in 1892 it bad risen to $1,068,257, In all the departments salaries are on the in• crease and new offices are being con- atantly created for favorites of the min- i^'ters and for party workers who are most active during the elections, The annual expenditure every year far es- eeeds the receipts but still the waste goes on and moneys are borrowed on annuities falling due in future years to tide the treasurer over present diffi- culties. Why are not salaries of min- isters and all other government officials reduced instead of increased in these tinges of financial stringency and de- pression among farmers and working ysople generally ? According to prices Laid far goods of almost every kiad a ilt;•iiar will now purchase nearly double the amount that it did fifteen years ago hence the officio' who receives a $1,500 •aa'.ary can live: in better style than the :elan who received 82,000 formerly. But the farmer has to be content on a much steelier income than he had fifteen _ears ago while the industrious me- •rhanie finds his wages cut down and employment to be had only half or .true quarter time, indeed thousands of them are without a job the greater part eZ the time acid find bare existence a ae41 struggle. Why then all this mul- •,tilieztion of r'ftleers, why this increase the annual controllable expenditure of the Provincial Government? Is it ::tt high tiine to call a halt, and for a return to the economy practiced by i :ase who directed the affairs of the Trtivinee in bygone years? Unless the a :` •pLe vote to dismis:i the nen who now ',eel it over them, and pronounce in fa - ver of thosa pledged to a return to the ;:;-•tltemie methods that once obtained fes the inauagtnnent of local affairs, the of direct taxatioa trust soon be up - en RS.

OFFICIAL ESTIMATE FROM THE HUNGARIAN BUREAU. Canada Will Soon be One of the Great Wheat Exporting Countries—The Estt- ntatecL Dedeiency. Budapest, Au. 80.—The Ministry of .Agriculture has issued its annual esti- mate, in which it describes the world's harvest as extraordinarily light The total yield of wheat is planed at 575,760,- 000 metric huudred weight, while the present annual requirements are esti- mated at 655,150,000 =trio hundred weight. It is calculated that for 1S97 and 1898. there will be a shortage of 50,- 800,000 hundred weight. The stooks re- maining on hand from 1896 are approx- imately estimated at somewhere between 38,000,000 and 45,000,000. The total supply for the year, reckoning both the present stocks and the harvest in esti- mated at from 610,000,000 to 651,000,000 metric hundred weight, The world's deficits are estimated as follows: Rye, 69,000,000 hectolitres; bar- ley, 38,000,000; ,oats, 58,000,000, and Dorn, 59,000,000. The report states that many exporting countries, such as European Turkey, Egpyt, Australia and Austria-Hungary will either be unable to export grain or will be compelled to import, while others, including British India, Argentina and Chili, will have their wheat export considerably reduced. The favored countries are Canada and the United States, the former of which will soon bo one of the most important of the exporting countries, its excess over last year's production being 7,000,000 bushels of wheat and 20,000,000 bushels of oats, Its output of all sorts of grain was 270,000,000 of bushels. The yield of wheat in Great Britain this season i, fifty million of bushels, against 68,000,000 bushels last year. The wheat area of I3ritish India is re- duced from 23,000,000 acres to 18,000,000 acres, and tho wheat yield front 231,000,- 000 bushels to 302,000,000 bashels, The 'United States, which has reduced its area sown in oats by 2,000,000 acres, that sown in corn by a million acres, while that in other grains reinains nearly un- changed, will nevertheless dispose of 5:14,Uut),00a 111141018 of wheat, against 434,0000e10 bushels last year, allowing the exportation of 100,000,000 bushel+ of ss heat, while the exports of corn will pos slbly be 50,tn00,000 greater than those of last year. The prospects for eats and barl."y are less favorable than in 1806. The price of bread in Austria has already risen 30 per cent, London, Aug. 30.—The Mark Lane Express, reviewing the crop situation, say:: the wet weather has seriously de- layed the harvest. and that the new wheat is bound to suffer. Advices from France and Italy, according to the same authority, show the Russian crop to be decidedly below the average, while the Arncrican crop is probably above the average. In this connection The Express says that information regarding the Anmeriean crop appeals to be kept back, adding that the experience of recent years leadi to the American Government adveees being placed upon a much lower level of authority than those of European countries. THE AMERICANS RETALIATE. •Dutr on Canadian Horses at S1ca;rtvna• and Dyca. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 31.—The steamer Ring City has arrived from Dyea and Ska„way. The following letter was brought from the Associated Press core resl.'e ndent at 4hagway, Alaska:— The nes: deputy -collector of Customs at ; kagway and Dyes:, has imposed a duty of 430 a head on Canadian horses unloaded at this port from Canadian terr•it+ry, to be used ,in packing owners' outfits over the summit. Since the new British collt'etor, a few days ago, an- nounced that his Government would waive all duty on miners' clothes and outfits intended for personal use for the next six months, it is feared this action on the part of the United States collector will react on American miners. The duty was paid under protest. The col- lector also assumed the right to appraise goads at their value here. One man paid w5431 for what cast him F300 at victoria. TRAVEL SUSPENDED. An effort is being made to improve the Skagway trail. The miners camped at Skeerway and on the trail tree to do the Work, while the citizens- of '^kagway furnish all food and transportation of supplies.. There are not less than 5,000 miners between the landing and the summit, and ail travel' is suspended. Trees haw been •felled across the trail, and no one will be allowed to proceed until the entire trail is finished. NEW MAIL SERVICE. Wcshin^;:on, P.C., Aug. 31,—A new steamboat mall service betw,, ern Juneau and Dy. a, AI:asaka, the. first s;trctch on the overland trail to the Klondike region, was announced by the Post -`Bice De- partrrent to -day.

The 'united States battleship Maine is to bo placed in dry -clock here the last week in September. She is to be followed by the battleship Iowa. A Woodstock Man's Close Call St, Marys, Oat, Aug.27th.—A piano dealer named Jones from Woodstock, had a marvellous escape from death this afternoon While driving out of. town in a buggy he wasrun into at the crossing between the market and the Junction station bya. freight train, which was following the uoou express, going west The horse was thrown agaiust the embankment, and the man was carried over fifty feet, alighting iu therailway ditch.

The Western Fair London, On the 9th of September, the great Live Stock and Agricultural Show at London will open its gates, and from that day until the 18th many visitors will pass in and out of them. The Secretary persists in calling it Canada's Favorite Live Stock and Ag- ricultural Fair on account of the large number of breeders, herdsmen and buyers who make their appearance annually, with and in search of the cream of the droves, herds and flocks of this country. The word Agricultural is broad in its meaniug, including every thing growing from the soil. At the Western it not only includes the varied products of the fields, y gardens, or- chards, greenhouses andconservatories, but the best of each variety and shows what this country is capable of raising.
