A Western operator in apples tuts commenced, the season by offering growers Si per barrel for the fruit with the rise, which means he will guarantee that price and as much more as the market may advance, an offer which not only places him at a decided disadvantage hut eevors of reckless awl illegitimate speculation. In the Arst place the 17. S. and Canada, apple yield promises to lie enermous, and the British market is beelad to be glutted as in 1806-7.-0 when many Canadians were ruined. In tbe second place, fruit can bs shipped on an av- erage a oue sbilling less from Boston these from Montreal, giving American exportere, even counting inland freight Charges, au advantage of at least ari to 40 cents a barrel, wee a.

ONE PARTY ; ONE POLICY. Sir Charles Tupper's latest remarks on the subject of the sending of the troops to South Africa are in keeping with his conduct from the first. Be was among the first of the public men in Canada to offer his support to the Government if it would put this coun- try in line with the Australasian colo- nies. Repot only spoke from the plat- form in Nova Scotia in favor of the action that was taken later but he telegraphed the Premier the assurance of his help in Parliament in carrying any vote to meet the expenses that tbe despatch of a contingent would entail. Should the Government be at- tacked anywhere for its action in the matter it would be his duty to declare his sentiments, and he has done so in a manner that will win hint credit wherever people respect principlennd those who act upon it.
