-Wheat is reported much damaged
in the United States by recent storms,
and the yield will be less than was ex-
pected a few weeks ago. Kansas and
Nebraska wheat fields have suffered
the most. J. J. Hill, the great rail-
way magnate, reports that at best the
yield will sink to 600 million bushels,
Secretary Coburn, a wheat expert,
says that "enormous widespread dam-
age has been done." "Dollar wheat"
is predicted before many weeks.
-The "Northwestern Miller," a
United States journal, fears that Can-
ada is becoming a formidable rival of
the States in the exportation of grain,
unless the United States takes posses-
sion of the foreign market. It is
pointed out that while in 1900 the
wheat crop of western Canada was not
over 20 million bushels, in 1903 it was
over 80 millions, and with the vast in-
crease in acreage sown there is a pos-
sibility of the crop reaching 800 million
bushels, or more than the United
States produces.
Total taxation $28,01$,625.00

-Fifty years ago Japan was un-
known, except upon the map of the
civilized world. It had sixty-four
clans, who warred with each other,
but only with swords and bows and
arrows. In "1872 it opened its first
eighteen miles of railroad. Now it
has 4,273 exiles in operation, eighty-
four thousand miles of telegraph and
more miles of telephone wire. In
place of ancient junks are 5,415 vessels,
carrying a tonnage upon all seas of
222,000. Besides this, the Japanese
navy has proved itself a power to be
reckoned with, among the navies of
the world.

--Speaking of the parliamentary es-
timates, that excellent Farmers' paper,
the Weekly Sun, says: --
"The supplementary estimatea
laid before Parliament Monday eall
for an expenditure of nearly $12,-
000,000, This brakes the total vote
for the year, in round figures,
$77,000,000. This is a tremendous
burden to lay upon an, population
of about five and one-half million
people. At a time when prudent
men are taking in sail, when farm
revenues are shrinking in the
opinion of some of the closest ab --
servers, by 20 to 25 per cent., and
on the eve of a period of at least
partial depression, the Govern-
ment of the Dominion brings
down an expense bill which makes
the wildest extravagance of the
past look like parsimony. Where
is it all to end ? What is neces-
sary in order to teach the Gov-
ernment the plainest lessons in
economy ?"
-In the Commons, on Wednesday
last, Mx.. Bell contrasted the Govern-
ment's policy with the policy foresha-
dowed by their promises when they
were in Opposition. They. had then
claimed that the expenditure was too
great, and the taxation therefore too
high. During the Iast seven years of
the Cpnservative rale the average an-
nual taxation was $28,636,205, against
537,510,506 during the seven years of
Liberal rule to the end of 1003. Dur-
ing the seven years to 1904 the total
expenditure had been $412,204,621, an
annual average of $58,899,233, an ex-
cess over the average of the' last Con-
servative rule of $16,613,180. The tax-
ation per head in 1904 had reached
$9.44, the highest figures it had ever
reached, and the expenditure per head
had also reached the record figure of
$11.74.
-A number of Liberal papers are
sneering at Lord Dundonald's warning
to "Keep both hands on the Union
Jack," and the Toronto Star carica-
tures the matter by a cartoon repre-
senting the Union Jack almost covered
with two big hands. This leads the
Toronto Telegram to remark :-
Well will it be for Canada when
Lord Dundonald's words: "Keep
both hands on the Union Jack'
are taken to heart by the patriots
who are btisy with the work of
"developin"' the undeveloped re-
sources of the country. There are
five or six Canadian patriots who
do not "keep both hands on the
Union Jack" because their hands
are busy with their life -work of
reaching for subsidies. If these
gentlemen, whose names will. oc-
cur to every student of modern
history, would take Lord Dundon-
ald's advice and "keep both hands
on the Union Jack" their suffering
country would be millions of dol-
lars ahead at the end of the year.

-From the fervor with *hieh Sir
Rich'd Cartwright denounced wrong-
doing in his opponents, better was ex-
pected of him than the course he took
last week in the House. When the
expenditure of Canada was $38,000,-
000, he declared it to be "unjustifi-
able" and if his friends were in power
they would reduce the expenditure
several millions. His friends have
been in power several years, and the
expenditure has now reached 77 mil-
lions. ,Sir Richard rose in the House
-what for ? To protest against the
doubling of the expenditure in the
face of his promises of retrenchurent?
No, but to defend Jackson of Inger-
soll, the man whom Judge Street de-
clared had assoeiated with the vilest
criminals, and who purchased perjur-
ed evidence to unseat Donald Suther-
land -evidence "he wanted -true or
false. Of the latter he secured con-
siderable and for his trouble, Sir
Richard rewarded him 'with a good
government situation in. England.
The only thing Sir Richard blames
Jackson for, is that he was "indis-
erect" that he failed to "look under
the bed" and "behind the door", in
other words, for being caught in the
dirty work. Sir Richard never ap-
peared in worse Plight than he did
when defending the Jackson appoint-

BINDER TWINE.
(Hamilton Spectator.)
Ever since the Laurier government
abolished the duty on binder twine
that commodity has been higher in
price than it was before, and the com-
bine has been able, several times, to
get the farmers "into ahole" and force
the price up beyond aA reason. For
some years, during the war distur-
bance in the Phillippines, the Grit
journals pretended that the price of
binder twine had been raised because
of the increased cost of manilla fibre,
paused by its scarcity, the scarcity be-
ing caused by the war. Bnt, as the
Spectator pointed out at the time, ma-
nilla fibre was not used in the making
of binder twine in this country, the
raw material being sisal and other
cheap raw material which was not at
all affected by war.
And now the Canadian farmer finds
himself compelled to pay a very high
price for his twine. The combine has
boosted the price shamefully, and the
farmer must suffer for free trade's
sake.
The effect of admitting foreign twine
in free was to throw the whole busi-
ness into the hands of the American
combine, with which Canadian makers
now stand in, and the Canadian far-
mer is at the mercy of a combine, the
bulk of the members of which are hien
of a foreign country.
It is just such facts as these that
show sensible Canadians the utter fal-
lacy and childish foolishness of the
beautiful free trade theory.

poor sufferer has almost an intolerable

found in fragrant healing Catarrho-
