We are trying to eke contract with the O.P.S.M.Co., so far as I out an existence in competi ion with the ' whole world; with the peaeants of Rueeia, the Hindoos of India, acd the Negroes of Argentine.

They bad—in that part of the Province— been paying $1.25 per bbl. for their salt; they had been paying this prioe all along. The considered this price to be away be - yon d its commercial value; moreover, salt ie an article that is used to a great extent ()binary as cheap at least as the people of upon the farm. For these reasons, there- foreign countries could get the same Cana - fore, they contracted with the salt company dian make. But we cannot. The Massey at Kincardine to be supplied for three years, Mfg. Co. can sell their machinery oheaper, with so many oar loads of salt, the price and are selling it cheaper, to the farmers of being 650 per bbl. By this deal they have Argentine and other foreign countries, been getting their salt for the last three than they can sell it to us farmers here at years at a pride away below what it other- home; simply because the Government al - wise sells for in that part of the Province; they have been getting it oheaper, even, than we farmers in Huron, situated in the very midst of the salt wells, have been get- ting it; they have, by their deal, effected the eaving of many hard-earned dollars, and although they may have to pay just now a trifle more than they otherwise Iowa them a rebate of 990 on the dollar on all duty on raw material that enters into the menufaoture of machinery for export. Then, on a par with this gross injustice to the farmer, is the action of the Government in taking $750,000 of the public funds to subsidize a line of freight -carrying eteam- n boats between Australia and this country, would have to pay for it they would much using the money earned chiefly by the rather do that, thrust pay 50e. for a little farmers of this Dominion to enable the while, and then, a few months hence, have to pay the same old prices. and yet it is because of this transaction that Mr Rens- ford interprets Patrons of Industry and Pigeons of Innocence to be synonymous terms. I agree with Mr Ransford that Pigeons of Innocence is, or rather has been, a very appropriate name for farmers; but this sobriquet is far more applicable to farmers who are not Patrons, than to those who are. And Mr Ransford, in his heart of hearts, knows full well that he dubbed them with this name, not because of the action of the Patrons with regard to their salt deal, but because of the knowledge that he has of farmers, from doing business with them, and from the manner in which they stick to their respective parties on election day, voting against each other, and against their interests. Mr Ransford has done business with the farmers, and he has found them, without a doubt, veritable "Pigeons of Innocence," in permitting him to have his own sweet way. He has sold them salt, and he has bought of them loge; in each caee he was the individual who fixed the price. Oh, yes, Pigeons of Inno- oence is a term that has been applicable to farmers, but they are beginning tsee that they have been altogether o nocent; that they were being plucked r ght and left, by those epecies of bird that considered them their legitimate prey; and now P. of I., as applied to them, will mean People of Intelligence• Mr Ransford argues that we Patrons, in combining together to break up all com- bines, rings and trusts, and things of a similar nature, and of electing men from amongst our own ranks to represent us in Parliament, are not one whit better than combinesters ourselves; and everything we say or write against such things are stones that recoil upon our cwn glass house. It is difficult to underetand by what process of reasoning ho arrives at this conclusion. It is very strange login, surely. By a parity of reasoning, we would arrive at the con- clusion that a number of men who banded together to hunt down and bring to justice a band of robbers, were not one whit better than the robbers tnemselves. If farmers were combining togetheraise the pric.e of farce produce above rte legitimate value, it would be a parallel case, but for the peo- ple of Ontario to sink a salt well, and clo.a "thriving trade," by being their own con• snmers, is, to my mind, a legitimate, sen- sible, proper proceeding; there is nothing very wrong or very fanny about it, Pat and his whiskey to the contrary, notwithstand- ing. And for the people of this or any other country to shake themselves free from the slavery of party, and to band themselves together to secure such legisla- tion as would be to the interests of the toiling masses, do away with cla-s legisla- tion, and corrupt and extravagant govern- ment; exercise their franchise like intelli- gent beings, and not like automotons, is, in my estimation—and is in the estimation of any intelligent individual honest enough to admit it—a very legitimate, sensible, com- mendable thing for them to do. And, if Mr Ransford, or any one else, can point out to me how this country, as a whole, can be injured by legislation along the line of the Patron platform, then I will admit that this combine of the Patrons is as iniquitous as that of the manufacturers. But in ar- riving at the conclusion, they must not fall into the error of considering that the whole of this country comprises the manufactur- ers, bankers, lawyers, members of parlia ment, and corporations, salaried officials, etc.; they must take into consideration the toiling masses, who comprise four-fifths of the population, and who are the people, so far as the production of wealth is Concerned. I can readily understand, Mr Editor,why you are a Grit, and. I can readily under- stand why Mr Ransford is a Tory. It pays yon to be so. As an editor, yon occa- sionally get some government printing to do; not much, perhaps, but then the prices paid are good, away above the local rates. Then you are living in hopes that some fine day you will get an office from your government; a post office, perhaps, or a customs office, or something of a similar nature, as payment for the work you have done for your party. It is to your interest, therefore, to commend everything that is Gbit, and denounce everything that ie Tory; to say, "Sic him, Patron," and pat him on the back, when he is after a Tory, and say all manner of evil things concerning him, when he is after a Grit. And it is to Mr Ransford's interest to be a Tory, because that Government makes possible and legal- izes combines, one of which he is the worthy secretary, But what the mass of the people are going to gain by continually voting Grit or Tory, is something I cannot understand. Take us farmers, for instance, we have been voting Grit and Tory for years; killing each other's vote on election THE PATRONS, THE SALT DEAL, AND OTHER MATTERS. 7'o the Editor of the New Era SIR, — Judging by Mr John Ransford's letter to the New ER1 last week, concern- ing the Patrons, and their salt deal with the Ontario People's Salt Manufacturing Co., of Kincardine, he is in a somewhat perturbed state of mind. He tells us thr 1 he detests whining, and all that sort of thing, and yet his letter, from beginning to end, is one long, continued whine, howl and growl. It is evident that the Patrons, by their action in this matter, have effectu- ally prevented the Canada Salt Association from consummating another combine, hence the rage of its very angry members. They are the only individuals whom I know of at the present time, who are whining about salt. The Patrons are quite satisfied with the price, and, according to John Rana - ford's own ruling, the O.P.S.M.Co., have also reason to be quite satisfied. He commences with a history of the salt trade in Canada; would have us believe that the object of the salt manufacturers, in sinking their capital in those wells, was from motives of pure philanthropy, that the people of Canada might have cheap salt. He unblushingly tells us how, that by a combine, the prices were kept at and above the dollar mark, and yet the main object of his letter is to show how the "Pigeons of Innocence" (as he facetiously calls the Patrons of Industry) had been effectively plucked by the O.P.S.M.Co., in 'securing from them a contract to supply them with salt at 65o a barrel. If—as he intimates—the O.P.S.M.Co. have a good fat thing in salt at 65o. per bbl., what a mint of money there must have been in the salt business, when it was double this price. Verily philanthropy pays large dividends on the capital invested. No wonder that so many went into the business. They obeyed the Scriptural injunction, "Cast thy bread upon the waters," but they took precious good Dare that "many days" would not elapse before it returned to them again. It is now upwards of three years since the Patrons effected their deal with the O.P.S.M.Co.; they have been securing their salt at 65o. per bbl. during that time, and yet Mr Ransford says that the very first day that this Co. could legally sell salt at that price, it had dropped to 50o• a bbl. Where did salt drop to this pride three years ago? Certainly not in the vicinity of Clinton; certainly not at Mr John Rana - ford's works. The people of this vicinity at /bast have all along been payippg 91 a bbl. It is only within the last f'v weeks Mr Ransford advertised it at 50o, and even now it would appear that he does not want to sell it at this price. laolmesville Asso- ciation P. of I. tried to get a oar load from him at this price, but he refused, giving as an excuse the quibble that he had adver• tised it at that price f.o.b. This statement, therefore, of John Ransford's sounds very much like that little word of three letters, that which he has a penchant of flinging at other people. I don't suppose that there is very much mosey in salt at 50o-; like many other things, this business has been overdone, but, at the same time, I am of the opinion that there is just as much money in salt at .50 if ro 6n ie in ui ti a bbl. as in wheat at 50o a bushel, and we are to judge by the style, the stir - endings, the manner of living of those gaged in the respective oconpatione, there far more money in salt yet than there is wheat. But then, "Those farmers are ed to povetty and hard times; their poli• n in life has always been that of 'hewers of wood and drawers of water,' they have, in the course of ages become inured to this co dition of things, and they are not to be co pared or planed in the same class with m nufaotnrers at all," They should be grjsteful to the salt men, and not begrudge $1 and 91.25 a bbl. for Balt, because there w s a time when they had to pay three ti nes as mach. Just so, and by the same to en the old pioneers of this country s old at the present time be well satisfied to live on black bread, because there was a thine in their early history, when they bad to live for weeks on turnips and birch bark• For this depression in the salt trade the salt men themselves are, in a measure, to blame, By combining, and keeping np the price, the profits were so great that many w re induced to go into the business, and a share in the largo profits, and eo the thing became overdone. Cast your greed upon Australians to plaoe upon the Canadian markst their foreign meat and other farm products, thus entering into competition with us in that "home market," which was to be our share of the benefits of the National Policy, and for which we have been taxed so very heavily.— This is what we get for sticking to our par- ty, and voting against each other. The Tory party could count upon their contin- gent of Tory farmers, who would support them in 9verything they done; and the Grits had their contingent likewise; like a sore finger, they were always on hand. They could count upon them every time. But not so the manufacturers and certain other olessee• They had to be bought, and in order to buy these complainers, the non - complainers had to bleed. "But," t ima- gine I hear some Grit saying, "the Reform party would not have treated the farmers so," And if not, why not ? The Reform party is composed of exactly the same ele- ments as the Conservative. They love pow- er, and office,and fat salaries just the same; and they would resort to the same schemes to keep themselves in power. I know of no reason whatever why they should differ from the Conservatives in this respect. I believe it was a close shave, anyhow, that protection did not emanate from the Grits instead of the Tories. They had the mat- ter un3er serious consideration,atany rate; and if they bad brought along protection, the Tories would have had free trade, as a matter of course. In that event the Grits would be shooting protection to -day, and the Tories free trade. There is not the least doubt about it• It is the name Grit and Tory they are after, and nothing else; and so long as they can retain those names, they would change platforms with the ut- most unconcern. At any rate we Patrons believe this to be true, and we ought to know, for we have been there. And because we believe this and act accordingly, we are, forsooth, dnbbed by Mr Ransford "Pigeons of Innccence•" In conclusion I would give that individual a piece of advice. It is the same exactly as he gives the Patrons in his advertisement in the Farmer's Sun, and that is to stand by his common sense, and guard it well, for he needs every particle he has got, if he is foolish enough to believe that those Pigeons of Innocence can be ought by such chaff as he offers them.

Governor Northern ha* a very sensible article in the Southern Cultivator on the subject of brains on the farm. Governor Northern tells us of an eminent lawyer who, as the result of experlenoe on the farm, arrived at the conclusion that it took more brains to manage his farm than to manage hie law ofltoe, for ho succeeded best in law. This, our distinguished writer conclude!, was rather a matter of aptitude than a matter of brains. • After Borne discussion of the question he says: "It 1A a great mistake to adopt the gen- erally received opinion that any man can successfully farm if he will only stick at it and put into it plenty of elbow grease and personal sweat. I do not believe this to be any nearer the truth than that any man of ordinary intelligence can practioo physic carefully simply because ho stays steadily beside the bedside of his patient and industriously administers medicine at every apstrront change of symptom. "Just so long as we believe and practice the belief that any stupid dolt that never had an original idea in his life and has given evidence of no higher capacity than to hold a plow and boat and starve a mule, will snake a good enough farmer to till our lands and make our material wealth, just so long will we invite ruin to our agricultute and desolation for the best interest of our sections. We must away with such suicidal practices and put more brains on our farms.. Let muscle do the work, but intelligence direct the management and the methods. " Governor Northern brings out a groat fundamental truth in the following sen- tence: "In the soil God has given an inherit- ance not exclusively to the generation that now butchers it on our farms, but to generation after generation to follow, and we have uo more right to turn loose upon it such savage slaughter than allow hordes of quack doctors to become un- restrained vendors of poisons to the des- truction of human life." There are few more pitiable industrial spectacles than that of a farmer reducing the fertility and character of his farm. It is a standing advertisement of his mental incapacity and sluggishness and his entire failure to seize upon the grand fact of a very plain fundamental obliga- tion of life. One who is satisfied to leave the world poorer than he found it has not the ring of true manhood in him• The whole class of soil robbers and farm dis- poilers are not only, as Prof. Robertson concludes, traitors to their country, but they are more—they are traitors to nature and to their God. We want a race of mea and women on the farm far above the low ideal of agriculture that governs many farmers. - Diplomatic Bismarck. One day the Austrian Ambassador to the Federal Diet, Count Reohberg, re- ceived a dispatch instructing him to vote with Prussia for a certain important measure, accompanied with a confidential letter directing him to induce the re- presentatives of the other German States to vote against the measure and thus de- feat it. In his haste he handed the wrong paper to Bismarck, who read and re- turned it with the remark : "There must be some mistake here." Reohberg saw his blunder, and grow pale and excited. "Don't be disturbed," said Bismarck; "you did not intend to give me this docu- ment, and therefore you have not given it to me, and I am wholly ignorant of its contents•" In fact, he made no mention of it in his official reports, and thus won Reohberg's gratitude, beside having him henceforth "on the hip.

In walking the heel should not be brought down too firmly. A part of the weight of the body belongs upon the toes, and when a due proportion is thrown there it gives an elasticity to the gait which is lost when it is not properly dis- tributed. Walking with the heels raised from the ground is a good exorcise al- though a fatiguing one, Hopping on each foot -alternately is another. Dancing is a valuable ' ac.::::-iriient for children. The consciousness of being able to dance well gives ease and self possession to many a young man and woman who were otherwise bashful and awkward on their flret entrance into society. The little people usually delight in the rhythmical motion, and if it is not combined with late hours it dons thein nothing but good, says a writer in the Ladies' Home Jour- nal, who adds: All outdoor games that involve running and active movement of any kind are use- ful adjuncts in physical development. An immense amount of exercise is taken under the guise of diversion. Battledoor and shuttlecock, which was long a favor- ite amusement. is a capital indoor game where them is room to play it and might be revived with advantagte. Bean bags, colored bags filled with beans and aimed at a ring or other mark, and the form of quoits played on shipboard with rings of rope may be utilized to furnish exercise on rainy days. Especial attention should be paid to ventilation when the chaldron aro exorcising indoors. The respiration is quickened, the lungs demand more air, and there should be a plentiful supply of oxygen to meet it. They Could Not Land.
