I now, confidently, ask from you a largely increased support, and thus teach lato importations of a fresh kind, like Mr. Denman, that yen can judge for yourselves and will not be led by turn nor approve of his actions either on the Board or in the late eleetion and protest. He did not accept his defeat in the late election (as ho was the real eandidate, not Mr. Gilpin). I therefore ask the free and independent ratepayers to support me this time in such a manner that Mr. Denman, ISIr, Buyers or any of the other enemies of ()sr good school will not agaie mistake your verdict.

Gibson, M.PP., at the Farmers' Institute, hold at Gerrie Wit wsek : It is dilIloult to rupden All adequate, or at least, a eertain cause for the depreei- ittion in the value or produce -the world over princes keeping low for et aeriee of years as they have elope - better at pree. ent than for five or six years preview. Thin 00118011 prices have been local, 110 0111011.1 111 Ontario is relatively higher than elsewhere, Seeing it woiet pay to ship to Liverpool, the purchasers there won't give et lame to pay the charges and freight from Montreal and ice current value hem- 1 there can be no doubt that the opening of the North weet has more than anything else clopreciatect the mime of tho land in Ontario, meing hind is to bo had there in illimiteble quantities for the taking and near the C.P.R. for comparatively low prime, frost being seemingly the only obstacle to oontend with ; though we may bo cam vain that there as well ae elsewhere the 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 for either food oe shelter and he nonsid- ors six-penee a day geod wages. A. little rice sullierA the year round for his 1113111' 1008.1100 and a few yarde ot cotton for his clothing. Joined to all that 8110er is the legal 150310 11, India, and, strange to say, 10 118.8 maintained its value there, so that really 11111 has the advautage of thirty per mut. higher prices than the North American continent or Jenrette. Then there has been the opening of the Suez canal, eheepening freight and risks near. ly ono half, ail of which has made India a formidable competitor, enabliug it to put 40,000,000 bushels of wheat on the European markets 0a1nnally. It niav bo asked what caused the Past 'Indies to go into the raising of wheat ? There is very little doubt hitt that the high tariff of the United States imposed diming the Civil War, and kept rip gismo, led to it. Brit - itch capital Dewed into India where 1. i1 and canals were only regniriel to give on outlet for its products and trade will go where it is most profitable in spite of all artificial restraints. A. ves- sel that has tt cargo both ways can carry freight cheaper than when it often has 10 30 0115 way in ballast, and 111010 10 no doubt that the Americans have lost far more than they have gained by Mich: fluent polioy of the last 25 years. It was noticed by observing men in Britain that during the period embraced between, say the years 1500 and 1800, when the islands peoducted enough, as a rule, to maintain the population and during a considerable pert of that period grain wee exported to :Flanders and Holland, and at times a bounty MIS paid on its; export, that a delicieney, say of onedenth, in the harv- est resulted in rise of prices of thirty per mats a deficiency of '251)00 cent. doub- led the prices. With a bountiful har- vest prices were lowered though not to the same extent. At the present time the available area, °eying to the faoilities of transit, is 80 widened that nearly the whole globe must be taken into aeoceint, but it looks very like as if the average, Bay of 85,000,000 bushels yeerly, thrown upon the European market by the East Indies amounting to full one-tenth, per- haps oue-eighth, of Europe's impo to has depressed prices the thirty per wet. which Gregory King, tho English econ- omist of 200 years ago, laid down as an appropriate 'rule. Thie seems to be the era of combines, there is hardly a buai. nose now but what is being, as 10 19 eall- ed, regulated in some shape or form. I see 0 greet meeting was held in & West ern city, I think at Minneapolie, by farm- ers representing various grain growing Statedenouncing the twine combination and pledging themselves not to pay abode a oertain price for it, resolving to do without, to hied the grain by hand rath- er than submit to whet they say is ex- tortiton. 311 10 to be hoped they may sue. need. Farmers are such a numerous ohms, living so moll apart, in the busy season 00 101.1011 taken up by their work, that it is almost impossible that they oat do as altnost every other lino of 11110101000 is doing from Sr working combin- ation. If they could do so on the North Amerioan continent, for say five or six years, and agree to raise one-tenth loss, whieh would bo somewhat 111020 than India's 8017110, 11 Hinge; rule worked, as there is very 1>ttle doubt it would, prices would inevitably go up.

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.
