The bon. gentleman proceeded to argue on the lines of such free trade as they have in "old England" as a means of ensuring prosperity- to the Maritime PEovinces. It seems that he has one text for the people by the sea and another for Ontario, At Brantford, the'centre of large and thriving indus- tries fostered by the,National Policy, it would never do to talk free trade as he did at Quebec. It was deep ed more expedient to hint adherence to the policy of a customs tariff, which, while raising revenue, would act as a safe- guard to those in4ustries which can only flourish in- Ontario because of it. As Mr. Blake, at Malvern and Oshawa, cut the feet from under the reciprocity Ad by intimating that the policy of protection would have to be regarded in .view of the large 'vested interests that had grown up under the tariff, so Mx. Laurier dashes in pieces his fine spun threads of free trade at Quebec 'directly he opens his mouth in an in- dustrial centre -of Ontario.

Canada has recently been compli- mented highly by the Journal of the American paper trade upon the success of her paper industries. The capital invested in these indus- tries more than doubled during the decennial period of 1831-1891, and shows that such resulted from the moderate protection adopted in 1878. • It should be pointed out, too, that while the paper business has been ex- panding, employing many more peo- ple and paying out great sums of money for Canadian raw material the prices of paper'have been rapidly fall- ing. Ten or fifteen years ago the paper in the daily press used to cost from 6 to 8 cents per lb. Now a paper of better quality sells for from 3 to 4 cents per lb. This industry therefore affords a splendid example of protection stimul- ating production, keeping up keen competition, and reducing prices. )UST ONE SINNER. At Brampton, Mr: Laurier appealed to his Conservative friends, whom he said he loved most to talk to saying:— "The Liberal party is like the king- dom of heaven. There is more joy over the repentenance of one sinner than there is over the perseverance of a thousand just men." What is) the matter with "the joy over the repentance Of sinner Dalton McCarthy,' that it does not materialize ? Mr. McOi rthyvna,y cast "sheep's eyes" at the French-Canadien leader and practice -the most studied- and adroit phraseology in soliciting his approval, but all in vain ! He mournfully con- fessed at St. John, N. B., the other day, that he "had been kicked out of one party, and .was not received by the other, and would therefore now drive a horse of his own." The coldness with which the overtures of Mr. Mc-' Carthy have been received must be a sad discouragement to others who, reading themselves out' of the Con- servative -party, seek a foothold in the opposite camp. SIR RICH -4!W, THE JON AII. Once more an effort is being made by the Grits to get rid of Sir Richard Cartwright. He has not been invited to attend any of the public gatherings thus far held in the interests of the party 'and he is not to accompany Mr. Laurier to the Northwest upon his stumping tour. It is said too, that the Grit machine is encouraging "a local capitalist named Janes in Toronto to try and get the nomination away froni Sir Richard in South Oxford. Janes has bought a farm in the riding and openly says his intention is to get the endorsation of the Grit party there. • All this is pretty rough upon Sir Richard but it is the fate of alleople Who desert their prin- ciples for advancement. Sir Richard left the Conservative party because he was not promoted; he is now being clubbed by the people to whom be went over for office. The difficulty in the case has' always been there was never any love' for him among the Grits. In success he was tolerated ; but in long years of failure he has been looked upon as a Jonah and his asso- ciates have not cared to hide very much their desire to throw him to the fish. Sir Richard has bled well for party purposes ; he is their most vigor- ous fighter and the only man among them who can make a decent financial criticism. They are bad enough with him ; -they would he infinitely worse without hire. It however doesn't matter to the country as they have no chance of success. CURRENT TOPICS. Laurier has spoken twice in Ontario within a few days., He had all the time he wanted and had his own choice of euhjects. Yet he tittered no word in condemnation of the outrages recentlyerppetrated by his const;. tuents in Quebec. To help Laurier to make his reduc- tion of $4;000,000 in the expenses of the government, the Dundas Banner pro- poses the establishment of a perman- ent high commissioner for Canada at Washington. If the Grits were in power they would create offices as rapidly as Sir Oliver Mowat does. The rnetnber• and the Grit party of South.

No man in the Dominion has a more extensive knowledge of the Com- mercial interests of this country' and the possibility of their develo,, went. Mr. Laurier shouts. for "free trade and reciprocity." He is a very voluble gentleman, but he would have to talk a long time to explain how he could get reciprocity by means of free trade, or free trade by means of reciprocity, or both together. Reciprocity means an exchange of equivalent advantages ; but by the adoption of free trade Mr. Laurier would deprive himself of the means of offering any advantage in exchange for another. In Kentucky they do not habitually burn negroes; but a story comes over the wires which suggests the thought that if the auto-da-fe were introduced in that state it might prove a popular spectacle. The story is that a woman of bad reputation was nailed to a tree by her hands and feet, her cruciflers being a number of women who objected to her course of life. A - wide departure, this, from the treat- ment which another woman of bad reputation received from One to whom sin was more loathsome than to the Kentuckian dames: "He that is with- out sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her," said the Master. As ,between kindness and crucifixion as rival remedies for social evils, history proves that the former is more effect- ive, although mankind—and woman- kind too—are slow to learn the lesson.

Western Fair Agricultural and Arts Exhibition, London, It is with pleasure that we call at- tention to the advertisement, which appears in this issue, of this Great Fair, fqr such it has grown to be. It is now second to 00 Live Stock and Agricul- tural Exhibition on this continent. Ever since 1868 it has steadily increased in size and iniportance, and is now looked forward to as an annual source of enjoyment as well as' instruction to the, people of Canada. It is desirable that those Fairs should be maintained for the benefit of all, but especially the bunting conmiunity, as they afford op- oportunites for seeing the steady advancement in agricultural machin- - ery, the improvements in live stock, and numerous hew varieties in field and garden products, together with the latest inventions of all kinds. Each year brings its requirements and ne- ceSsary improvements in the grounds and buildings. This year it is along the line of 'public comfort," and the Directors have decided to expend some of their suplus funds in this direCtion, and the visitors tothe WESTERN FAIR of 1894 will find themselves better pro- vided for than by apy other Fair Asso:: ciation in this provnice. The exhibition of Live Stock of all kinds prornises to excel, hi ex- cellence and numbers, past years, and the exhibits of .Agricultural and Horticultural products only depend upon the production of the country for, as in the past, specimens of every description will be on exhibition. The alterations being made in the internal arrangements of the Manufac- turers' and Liberal Arts Building will add largely to the heretofore attractive displays, and already several very wealthy firms have signified their inten- tion to expend conSiderable money on fitting up their sections and some extra fine exhibits may be looked for. The speeding in the rink will equal any exhibition ever given by, the Asso- ciation, as some of the fastest horses in the country are now entered and all the events will be hotly contested. The special features, many of which have heen already engaged, are the best for exhibition purposes that can be procured. The Special A ttractions Committee are alive to the public de- tnand for this branch of the Show and have spared neither time nor money in making their selections. Among those already secured are the famous Grecio- Roman Hippodrome & Chariot Racing Company ; 'rhe Kemp .Sisters sa new feature in Balloon Racing, a lady and gent going up on the one balloon and racing down on separate parachutes, making a very exciting act ; Professor Calverley, Niagara's Hero on the High Wire, who gave such a daring eXhibi- tion last year, and who met with so erions an accident, which was noted t roughout the.

Colborne, Ont., August 20th, 1894.— Having personally canvassed the great- er portion • of the apple producing sections on this side, and. having receiv- ed a large number of reports from pearly all apple producing clistricts,on both sides, we suhtnit this report, believing its perusal . may *prove of interest and result in profit to both grower and shipper. "',• United States—Maine, New Hamp- shire and- Massachusetts will probably have 75 per 'cent. ; Vermont, 35 per cent. • Connecticut, 50 per cont. ; NeWik York,' 40 per cent., but some reliable Ire reports state. more ; Pennsylvania and Ohio, some parts light anti porne well loa.deds Michigan, 55 per cent. • Illinois and Indiana, 25 per cent. "Wisconsin and Minnesota, 60 per cent., the greater quantity of which. is fall fruit ; Iowa and Nebraska, 75 .per cent. ; Kansas and Missouri, 55 per cent. ; Oregon and the Pacific slope, fully average. Great Britain—The crop will be Continent—Reports vary, some indi- cating small, while others indicate in certain district% a fair yield. Nova Scotia—The crop is fairly good, fully eqtal to last year. Ontario—A summing -up of a great number of reports from many sections would indicate 50 per- cent. of an average crop. It is quite apparent from the above that the only reliable market thiS season for Canadian apples is abroad and that the United States, instead of being large receivers of Cantsdia.n apples as last year, will be quite heavy exporters, and necessarily the quantity to go forward to Great Britain, as compared With last year, will be many times greater. It has beets by some estimated that this year's crop in the United States and Canada is as large as in 1892 and 1893, when 1,200,000 barrels 'were exported. There is no crop raised by a farmer more profitable and at the same time less expensive than his apples, and this is true as priceS of cereals now obtain, even if the grower received no more than 50 cents per barrel. And hence it follows that -no matter how large this season's apple crop may be or hotv inferior ths quality may be, one thing is certain to take place, and that is, that in some form or other al/ the apples grown will reach some market. What the regular shipper .A.fti leaves as culls will reach the evapora- tor and all will be 'marketed. It seeme, unnecessary to state lunch further for the guidance of either grow- er or shipper, as it is apparent that our only reliable market this season is Great Britain, and the ruling prices will entirely depend on the demand and the %utility and quantity of apples going forward. We would strongly urge buyers and shippers to be most conservative in them buying, both as to prices and. quality, and exercise the greatest of caution in handling only hand-picked fruit, careftilly sorted and properly packed, if you would ward • off the disasters that in the past have so often occurred as the result of misguided Do not export culls and avoid slacks by only engaging at the heads of gangs experienced packers, as it costs just, as Much to ship a poor as a good barrel, and besides it injuriously 41( affects the market.
