fertility will be exhaused if the resources
of the soil are too numb taxed by raising
wheat year atter year. I think 011 )0 sae
to say that there aro more causes than
one which have combined to depress
prices. Though, perhaps, there is more
gold now on the earth than there ever
was, there is a comparative scarcity of it
arising from different causes. The
world's business has inereacned greatly
within the last 25 years and gold being
the standard of value it requires more of
11 1.0 do the world's business. After the
France -German war both Germany and
Italy made gold alone, instead of gold
and silver, a legal tender, the difference
between the value of gold and silver since
that period to the present is thirty per
Gila. Either gold has gone up in value
or silver down, and I rather think silver
is down. Then we have the reduction of
freight by Bessentor's invention of steel
rails and also the maimed coueumption
of coal and the largest capacity of ocean
steamers, but possibly the greatest factor
in bringing about the low prices for
wheat is the great eaptteity which the
East Indioe has shown for its production.
The least Indies is a warm climate, the
laborer there requires nate expeediture

Anti' Jesuit Neeting.
A rowing antiereguit IiIlg WS>
held in the Town 111.1, here last Friday
evening. The largo building was packed
to the doors with et very enthusiastic
audience of ladies ane gentlemen, many
coming miles through the rain to hear
the addresses. Reeve Gresham took the
chair at o'clock and the meeting opened
with singing, and prayer bv Rev. Sarnuel
Janee. The following resolutions were
submitted to the meeting and carried un-
animously, the Inever and seconder of
each speaking to their reepective r00 -
tion :-
Moved by Rev. 3110. Ross, B. A.,
seeonded by B. Gerry, That whereas all
Canadians and British subjects, irrespec-
tive of nationality or ereed, should enjoy
equal rights oivil and religione, there-
fore, be it resolved, that this meeting
strongly disapproves of the aot entitled,
"An act respecting the settlement of the
Jesuits' Estatcs,• inaemuch as the said
act recognizes a right on the part of the
Pope to interfere in the civil affairs of
Canada which is derogatory to the supre-
maey of Tier Majewy and metuteing to
the lloerties of tho people.
Moved by Ilev. 1.1. Paul, seconded by
W. 11. I0011/, Resolved that this meeting
regards with profound regret, the fact,
that whim a, motion was submitted to the
Dominion Parliament calling for disal-
lowance of the said Jesuits' Estates' Aot,
it was voted down by 188 out of a house
of 901, as We fully believe the vote does
not represent the sentiment of the Coun-
try. And further this meeting highly
approves of the noble stand taken, and
fully appreoiates the veto recorded by
the thirteen who voted for disallowance
of the said Aot.
Moved by J. D. Rowed seconded by
W. M. Sinclair, That a, committee of
seven be appointed by this meeting to
further the objects of the anti•Jeanits in
Brussels and that one or more delegates
be sent to the convention to be held at
Toronto.
Rev. Mr. Ross' address was very care-
fully prepared and full of information,
the leading thought being that no Gov-
ernment had any right to legislate wholly
and solely for the benefit of any religions
denomination. Hie pointed reasons why
disallowanee should have carried were
very clear. The rev. gentleman was very
liberal in his (30100 and gave both political
parties their aoserts.
Dr. Maodonald, M. P., for East Huron,
one of the "Devil's dozen," was present
and wont into the subject at considerable
length, oeoupying over au hour. Ile took
up the history of the Jesuitic and pro-
duced proof as to their past history and
the detriment they had been to any ocam.
try where they had a foothold. He also
expressed the opinion that it was doubt-
ful, under existing eirounsstanoes, as to
the probability of the appeal being pre-
sented to the Privy Connail. The Drs,
