The committee couaists of Messrs. James Pick- ard, George Willis, Jatuos Swenerton, Eared Drew, W. Fenwick, and Abel Wolper. A meeting of the committee was held on Moutlay night, at withal Mr. Wolper was appointed chairman 0.111.1 Mr. Fenwick secretary. We have no doubt but business is intended. There was moll a great soarcity of cars here during the greater pars of the fall that the buyers could not get the grain away. Many *anthills had to be left in the farmers' bags at the sta- tion, Alia the storehouses were filled :to over- flowing. The dealers wore compelled fax want of storage rooin to stop buying for some time, except in stnall quantities. This state of af- fairs it. is proposed to remedy by inducing the Grand Trunk to Will a branch from some con- venient point on the main line through Exeter and Zurioli to Bayfiold narbor. Both Bayfield and Zarioli are anxious for a railway. What they think of the proposal for the G. T. R. branch we have not yet learned, bat no doubt we shall soon hear, for the secretary, beiug strongly in favor of a second road aul interested in the red:lotion of freight and the proper supply of as, will lose no tium in getting an expression of opinion.

To the &law?, qf the Tim% Sen,—The chief ohjact of a National Pulley bas already been aohioved,naine- ly, encouragement of 0:median Indus- try. • It was decided ttt the polls in the Most uninietaltable manner in Septem- oer, 1878, that it was foolish to pur- chase from a foreiguer goods that can be produced at home.

It, • is nselebe for free traders to argue that iu the great Western Stated feud can bo rained at a less cost than here, and eoneequently we ought to buy it, there instead of attempting to grow i1 here, or in other words, to impoverish or force Oanadiass farmers to ishathdon their farms. This is exactly the policy which woe presented by the Meekeuzie Cartwright thavernineet daring thole term of office, and whioil they are uo.v advocatiug with all theleitternetss of defeated office holders.

That this statement is untruthful ond at, variance -.vith the real state of affairs, mill be seen by reference to the following table, copied from tho trade and navigation returns for the year, commenoing Juno, 1877, and endiug Juno, 1878, which may be token, so far as yield in erops, as au average.
