We do not hear much .now-aelays of the benefits and advantages of the National Policy. It must now be pain- fully evident to even the most bigoted Protectionists that the National Policy will not ward off trade depression, neither will it keep up the prices of products. We have not had for twenty years a period of such severe commer- cial depression and stagnation. of trade as we are passing through now, neither have the prices for all kinds of farm products been so low as they are at the present time. A. few years, ago we were told by the political doctors of the Tory persuasion, that all that was re- quired to secure high prices and pros- perous times was increased protection to our native industries. This doctrine was preaahed so assiduously and so earnestly, that at length the people . were got to believe it, and in order to procure this patent nostrum they turned from power the most honest, economical and efficient Government Canada ever had, and replaced it by one of exceedingly doubtful antecedents. ; Well, we got the National Policy, and listrange to say, trade did revive and prices did go ep for a time, and. soMe of the people were foolish enongla to be- lieve that the change was dne to the National Policy, instead of to the gen- eral revival in synapa,thy with other countries. We have heard otherwise sensible men declare upon the public platform, in all sincerity, that the im- proved State of affairs was due to the National Policy, and we have heard them point to the improved market quotations in proof of the benefits which that policy nad conferred upon the country. These statenaents were made -- we believe, in the fell belief that they were true. But, the babble has now burst, and even the • moat credulous muat now surely be Convinced that they were deceived. and misled. There is not one, we believe, but would admit thia if they were to give vent to their honest convictions. 11 the National Policy could produce prosperous and profitable trade, and give increased prices for produce, it is clear that it naustbe equally effica- cious to continue them and to pre- vent stagnation ancl low prices. That it has not done this i so Painfully evi- dent that proof is not required. The fact is now being keenly felt by every man, woman and child in the land. It is, therefore, only fair to assume that as it -failed are prevent hard times it was equally ineffectual in the production of proaperous times, and hence the pros- perous period we have recently passed through owed its origin not to the National Polioy but to someother cause or agency, and consequently the people who trusted in the National Policy have been deceived and duped. In fact an the leading National Policy organs ad- mit this ranch. The Toronto Mail, a few days ago, had the impudence to say that any man who supposed that any Government could bring about good times or prevent bad must be a fool. That this statement is perfectly correct there is no daubabut it:certainly comes witla very bad grace from a journal thatso long and BO assiduously preach- ed the contrary, doctrine, and absurd as it was, the Mail got its readers to thoroughly believe in it. To go back on its own statements now, in this way, and call its proselytes fools because they were siraple enough to believe its teachings is mean and ungenerous. But the Mail sometimes doe e very disreputable things for partizan pur- poses, and it can not hear that its friends in power should be blamed for the hard tittles and low prices which preveb. It is, however, quite as just to blanull, them for these as it was to blame Mr. Mackenzie for the hard times and low prices which existed when his Govefmnient was in power, and yet even those; who are not blessed with very long inemories will not yet have for- gotteh the unlimited abuse which the Mail i heaped upon them for not dein whet its own friends, by its own co fessi al, are powerless to mum plitih now. If it was right and jut and n the interests of the oonntr then that Mr. Mackenzie and hi frien $ should be turned from powe it ran t be equally in the interests of th cu: ay that Sir John should now b releg ted to the cold shades of oppos tion. If the Mail and its friends war hone tin their outcry for the remot, 1 of Mr Mackenzie then, they should b equal y clamorous for the removal o Sir J lan now. The fact that they ar not, i the very beet proof that the were then anxious only for office an powe , and were not concerned for th intere ts of the' country. Having thn prove thsnaselves untrustworthy, thos who ave been led to do an unjust ac thron h their misrepreseutations, Omni refuse to longer follow their lead, and i they (meetly desire to do what is right they held set themselves to work t repair the wrong and injustice which while ding under this delusion, they were i duced to commit. Seeing tha they lamed Mr. Mackenzie fora thin it has since been proven he was no respo Bible for, and Was powerletils t peeve rt, they should now have the man- liness Ito confess their error and show their tilincerity by returning to himsel tied his party their allegiance, and by doing What they can to restore him to the positiou. from which they wrong- fully and without cause ejected him. This c nty is all the more plain in view of the fact that the leader and the party to wi9om they gave their confidence, have Ieen proven by their own confesn sions t be impostors, and consequently 1 unworthy ofthat ponfidenee: • A " JASUAL OBSERVER" in:the Minne- apolis Canadian' American Says: The aggreg te wealth ofCanadianAnaericans living n Minnesota is greater than that of any other foreign element in the pop- ulation. Hill, Kittson and Ryan lead off wieh their millions, and hundreds residing in the Twin Cities touch over fifty thoasand. The average is good all.the -way through, and the statement I make above is easily susceptible of proof. The Presidental Election. The agony, begotten of suspense among our American neighbors, is now over aed there ie no longer any lancer tainty as to the result of the recen elections. The official count has re vealed the fact that Cleveland has been elected by a small majority and the Reptiblicans have admitted their defeat _Blaine has published an address in whicii he accepts the situation very gracefully. He says that, for himself he has 120 regrets -a very cOngenial and profitable occupation was -interrupted by the campaign, and he will return to it with much more pleasurable feelings than he would have gone to the White House at Washington, with all its ac - competing responsibilities and trials. For the Republican party, and the country, however; he has, he says, the sincerest regrets. He attributes his defeat to the defection of the indepen- dent and prohibitionist Republicans, the former refraining from voting alto - ether and the latter voting for St. John. Mr. Blaine claims to have polled a larger total vote than any other pre- vious candidate for the Presidency, but there was also a larger vote polled against him. As to the causes for his defeat there is no doubt he is about correct. Had the so-called independent Republicans voted for him he would have been elected irrespective of those of his party who voted for St. John. The change to the Republicans willt be great. It is only some of the older members of the party who know what it is to be in the cold shades of opposi- tion. Many of their most prominent men and office -holders have, as we ight say, been born in office and nownothing of Opposition. They will now, however, have a tasteof the bitter as well as of the sweet. It isnot alone the office holders, either, who twill feel the change most keenly, but there are as we 1 hordes of contractors d jobbers of various kinds who have lived and thrived on official patronage. These also will now be forced to strike hard pan and will require to seek some other means of making &livelihood. It is ahnost impossible to realize the ex- tent and importance of the revolution that mast take place on the fourth of March next, when the ins move out and the outs move in. It is said, no doubt correctly, that the new President is already besieged night and day by ap- plicants for office, and his position for the first year of his rule will not be a pleasant one by -any means. If he emerges from the White Isfisuse as po- pular; a man as he entered i, he will deserve credit. Now is the tirne for the Cariadian authorities to press their -olaims for a renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty. The Democrats, no doubt, will be anxious to signalize their accession to pewer by rn some great strategic effort,and they ca tot do anything that will better eatiaf a ,very large number of their ostn part that to make their trade relati ns wit this country as liberal as possib e. No is the time, therefotie, for the C nadian to strike if they wish to take as vantag of the situation.

Cattle Raising in the Northwest, THE PRESENT AND FUTUBE OF THE -ROCKY MOUNTAIN RANCHES. -OPINION OF AN EMINENT ENGLISH AGRICULTURIST ON THE SUBJECT. Rev. J. A. McMullen, Vicar of Co - bridge, Staffordshire, who visited the Northwest during the past summer, writes as follows in the Field regarding the Northwest cattle ranches: At present the British farmer need have no fear of competition from this quarter. There is a market on the spot for every pound. of meat that can be produced there. The Canadian Gov- ernment have obtained their lends from the Indian tzibes on condition of finding them in food, and every Indian man, woman and child reaeives a ration of one pound of meat and one pound of flour for each day. These supplies are brought to their reserveii, where each Indian family has a square mile (640 acres) of the best land, in the country reserved for their use for ever. The rations are dietributed to the Blackfeet, the Peigans and some Of the Stoney Indians every other day, The Crees, who have a little more self control, get theirs once a week. This bargain suits both the Indians and the Canadian Government. The buffalo being extinct the land is no longer of any use to the natives, and the Government- wants it for settlement. In adcliten to supply- ingthem with provisions, the Canadian Government are taking ev ry paeans of inducing the Indians to devote them- selves to agriculture. Th implements necessary are provided f r them, and ia inl etructors in the art of usbaeidry are regularly sent amongst th m, the Had son's Bay Company actin as the agents of the Government in regard to the supply of implements and tools. On the land of this company at Winnipeg I saw rows of ploughe, harroWs, and other necessary machines, all for distribation amongst the Indians, with the name of the reserve for which theY were intend- ed painted on them; and i believe I am not exaggerating if I say ;they covered fully half an acre, and the efforts of the Government in this direction are prov- ing successful. Mr. Begg' the Indian agent for the Blackfeet andCreestwhone I also met in the Northwest, informed me •that at Blackfeet Crossing, one of the principal reserves of that nation, 400 acres of wheat were grown list year, and much of the crop averaged 35 bushels to the acre ; and some of the Crees have not only grown sufficient for their own consumption, but have grain to sell. The Government, _ however, take parental precautions with them, and, before they are allowed to sell,they must put up sufficient for next year's seeding in the public stores, of which a Government officer has charge. The ploughing is done at the expense of the Government, which finch horses and implements, as the Indian horses are not strong enough for breaking up prairie land; but the natives sapply most of the labor, and there are already not a few expert ploughmen amongst them, the older men taking to it better than the young men. As yet these tribes are not allowed cattle. That is the next step in their protnotion. They will get them as soon as they show themselves capable of self- restraint and fit to be trusted. The Stoney Indians, however, at Morley, a Wesleyan settlement, have already at- tained that position, and have consider- able herds. mer frosts never do any harm, as I was informed by Father Leconabe, and ex- cellent wheat is grown at Fort Dunve- gen, on the Peace Rive; in latitude 56°. The spring and harvest are earlier by a month than at Winnipeg. February is often a most delightful season -farmers are ploughing, trees are budding, birde are pairing. With March there may be a return of winter for a week or tyse; but there are few places in the vsorld within the temperate zone where sum- mer frosts do not occur. They have them in the United States, they have them in Winnipeg, and we have them in England. For my own part, I believe that this region is not only suitable for, mixed farming, but that it is emphatically that portion of the American continent which is par excellence suitable for that purpose. In the train going from Winnipeg to the Rocky Mountains I met several of the leading men of the Northwest -amongst them Me. Hass_ isty, the chief trader of the Hudson's Bay Company for that district, the host of Lord Milton and Dr. Cheadle when they stayed at Edmonton. By this gentleman I was informed that a field of four acres at the Roman Catholic Mission at Edmonton had last yearpre. d.uced the amazing yield of 90 bushels of wheat to the acre.In confirmation of this he referred me to a Mr. johneton, who was also in the train, and to father La- combe ; but as none of these gentlemen had themselves verified this extraordi- nary fact,I hesitated to accept it. When I was returning, however, two gentle- men who had come on be, the Edmon- ton coach joined the train at Calgary. One of these was Mr. Usborne,the poet - master at Edmonton, and I took that opportunity of making further inquiries. They had both seen the field. Mr. Os- borne was of the opinion that the yield had been somewhat exaggerated, and that it 'was only 84 bushels to the acre, but his companion Mr. Herbert, who is a farmer at Edmonton, confirm- ed the first statement, and explain- ed that it hteppened in this way. The field had been used as a corral for the cattle of the mission for a year or two previously during the winter months, and had been so enriched that it gave this wonderful return. Now, if the prairie soil is such that it will stand manuring at this rate, and the climate will bring grain sown on it to maturity, it is clear that it is just the district where mixed farming aill pay. Large ,herds of cattle will supply large heaps of manure, if housed, as I am Bare they must be by-and-by, and that will give large crops of grain and vegetables. It is very well to talk of the inexhaustible fertility of the virgin soil, and I suppose there are some tracts here and there where manure might do harm ; but I saw none of them,and gentlemen whose farms 1 visitedsnear Winnipeg are mak- ing good use of all the manure they can get. The cattle must increase there, no doubt, as there are nearly 5,000,000 acres now taken for grazing, and the - lessees are bound to have one beast on the ranche for every ten Bares in three years or forfeit their lease. This would make 500,000 head in that time ; but it is not easy to see where they are to come from, and there is not much- risk in hazarding the opinion that they will not be there, 1 And Dr. McEachran is of opinion that in a few years' time the 'great eattle companies will have to turn eastward to find. a market for their increasing herds; but by that time another element in this question is likely to be developed -will these companies he allowed to retain hold of these great ranches? Hitherto they have had them on lease at a very cheap rent ;'but now that the Canadian Pacific Railway has made the country accessible, squatters are coming in and taking claims in the very heart of the ranches. The squatter of Australia is the ranchero of the Rocky Mountains. The squatter of the Rocky Mountains is the free selector of Australia -the de- testation of the Australian squatter,. who complains that the free selectors especially deserve their name from a habit of nocturnal free selection from the squatters' flock& and herds ; and the Rocky Mountain ranchero enter- tains pretty much the same feeling to- wards the American squatter, and com- plains that the squatter's cows have an abnormal number of calves following them. - The rancheros maintain that mixed agriculture is impossible in those re- gions, owing to the prevalence of sum- mer frosts, which destroy green crops and injure corn; but, in my opinion, this is only true of certain li ited areas. Mr. Shore, of Fish Creek, a few miles from Calgary, kept a record of the tem- perature there all through last year, and only once during the summer months did the thermometer fall to freezing point -on the night of August 29 -when it came down to 28°; but at that time all the grain was harvested, and the effect on green crops was hard- ly perceptible. Observations taken at Fort McLeod are to the same effect, so that it may safely be concluded that from Calgary to the frontier mixed farming will prove successful. At Ed- monton, in latitude 53.31, nearly two hundred miles north of Calgary, sum - The Crops of 1884. The report of the Ontario Bureau of Industries for November has been issu- ed. It contains a vast amount of useful - and interesting information from which we extract the following sum- mary. The report deals chiefly with the grain and root crops of the -Pro- vince, and gives tables of produce based, on 1,250 realms made to the bureau on the 25th of October. Those tables show that the harvest of grain crops has been even more bountiful than appeared by the estimates of the 1st of August, and form a gratifying contrast to the tables of last years harvest. The quality of the grain, too, is generally excellent, being plump, hard and heavy. Barley, however, was badly discolored by the rain of the harvest season, and the bulk of it does not range higher than second grade. Wheat is remarkably free from defects of any kind. The grain is above the standard weight, and the average yield of the spring and fall varieties is 22.3 oushels per acre, or 9.6 more than last year. Oats also show a large yield, although ha the northern and northeast- ern counties this and the other spring grains suffered from the drought ofjune and July. Compared with the harvdt of 1883 the aggregate yield of cereals is as follows : Fall:wheat, bushe13.... 201,8784.22,288 11,656,957 1883 Spring wheat Barley 14 609,661 9 ,726,083 19,119,041 18,414,387 Oats The total yield of 5ple68:38s5:2625is95 135,6848:0511123:61097° Rye bushels, or 3,000,000 bushels more than last year, while the average per acre is 24 bushels or 4.3 bushels more than last year. The quality is of unvarying excellence, little or no damage having been done by the bug. Beans and corn, whiela were in an unpromising condition at the end of July, made a surprisingly good recovery in August, and steadily improved to maturity. The yield of the former is 592,044 bushels, and of the latter 12,935,889 bushels, being an average of 23.8 and 74 bushels per acre respective- ly. Last year both crops were destroyed by the early frost. The root crop is generally an excellent one, especially potatoes, mangolds and carrots. Turnips suffered to some ex- tent from the August drought, but they are of good quality. The aggregate yield for 1883. and 1881 are as follaws Potatoes, bushels 1884. 1883.
