ADVICE TO )rAliillLs ., '
It isalittle an2u-sing just non to read.' the
adyiee tendered -fermiers bylhe• protectionist
liapers,,in refer euceto disposing of their grairj,
The Mitchell Advocate, in reference to the
matter, urges them to -dispose of all their sur-
plus „rain, `because tlrc English marlcet''is
elutterl icr}i bawat?stuH's from abrot "
advice may be good, -but not for. the: „reason.
given, for it would'kbe better to hold on a bit,
if the market is glutted ; but there was a time
-when papers of that class ridiculed tite idea
that the•;(nglisb markets hacl?'itnything to do
with regulating tbe'pi'ico of grain. Farmers
who were gulled into believing'tbat"the N.P.
wonld give then high prices, irrespective of
the conditions of foreign markets, now have
an opportunity ;of reflecting; on the -matter;
and if they possess even a grain of common
sense, will see that no protective policy can
increase the price of any -article which they.
have to sell.
However, aside from any, political consider-
ation of the question, we think farmers .would.
be wise to sell their wheat. Sir'LharlesTnp.
per, who has just returned from the north-
west, estimates that for the 'present: season
there -will be a surplus• of 2,000,000 'bushels`
of grain for exportation to'Europe, and that
next year that quantity will be c
uadrupled
Though
this amount May, not.be 'absolutely'
correct; it is near enough to show the advise
ability of accepting present prices, R. when
this quantity finds its way to market,it will
have .its influence` in loiveriing prices. The
oat crop "in the t:nied States is estimated aT
800,000,000 bushels,the amount of the great
w,heaf crop of 1S80.. The }lateness of frost
has been. "favorable for buckwheat, .the .rye
crop .there is about 28,000,000 bushels,' and'-
the barley crop 45,000,000.
Some farmers are ic.eepng bact their pots -
•tors ;expecting better price's-. They were.
never further ristaken. The 1ew.'1'ork.and-
• Boston markets are glnttecl,the crops through.
out the country, are'enormons, and there will
be no 'demand in the States this year for Oa..
inadian potatoes, as the crop there is said to be'
about 180,000,000 bushels.
SCOLDING FOIL SI PFO'LLT.
• to following is part of a paragraph xelat-
ing to. local business men, in the co1u>5ins' of
the'Record :-
+' There are some others inbusiness who
are such bigoted politicians that they would
not spend a cent for advertising outside of a
Grit office on any consideration. Conserve.,
tives will do well to 'remember that by .pass
ing these• men by they 'are only doing just
what is fair and right, their custom isnot
asked by these parties and they should cer-
tainly not go where they 'are not invited."
We dare say that if a few -moment's eonsid-
eration.had been given the above would not
have appeared in'print, for if they suppose
that by scolding business men they •will ''be
more likely to gain patronage, we think they
will find out they were never more mistaken:
Besides, it is a piece of unwarrantedassump•
tion to say that auy one is not invited to 'do
business with such merchants as Ido not ad-
vertise in their colnmue, for, gene'rally, push-
ing merchants choose the best and most ex-
tensive means of advertising, and ff they can
d`a-meziitrm-ofeaching-all-v ithont-the
unnecessary expense of advertising in their
columns it is both economy and': wisdom'; to
do. so. More than half the advertising the
Record receives is from Reformers, and if the
principle it advocates was to -be carried out it
would soon have to . close up. ; To saw the
least,- it. is not only bad taste but very injudi.
cioueto stir up party feelings:. in business af-
fairs. The public verdict in such matters is
always against• the aggressor; and' it is a good
thing Thr peace sake that it is so. 1
Tamm "little' tyrant Mowat appearel. to
have a' strong, hold on, the affections of the'
people of Ontario, as evidenced by the fact
that he carried seven out of the eight bye-
elections.
THE Goderich Star publishes a copy, of a
summons issued by aLondon eaetmagistrate,
in which the spelling is dreadful'and gram-
mar 'worse, attributing the samelto " one of
Mowat's J. P's," and conveying the idea that
such an ignoramus should never. have been
appointed.It turns .out ' that the magistrate
in question is a dyed-in-the-wool Tory, but,
will the Star mention this ? Not, .very much,
as it: is apparently more willing to score a
point against Mowat than have anything to
do with' the truth.

Some may ask ." What has the American

words :

WmsN Sir John A,. Macdonald told the
Licenses Victuallers that he would make some,
change in the present admirable'' License eys
tem he committed himself to a'rash promise,
the fulfilling . of •whish. .would arouse: a
strong spirit• of resentment. But ithe Victual•
lers are evidently determined to liold him. to
his promise,'. for on Saturday ,a deputation,'
Waited upon him and desired him to use his
-personal iisfuesic and that of his ministry to:
have the Crooks Act altered so that the hotel
and saloon keepers may bei enabled to keep
their places of business open until 11 o'clock:`
o❑ .Saturday' nights; instead 'of 'closing at 7
o'clock, as'the.actrequires.' This;.was.but one
of several grievances which Sir John was re-
questedto use•hi,s influence towards remedy-
ing ',Sir'John, of course, readilyproniised to
act uponthe request.. Now, why did the de-
putation go
e-putationgo to Sir John ? He has nothing to
do with Ontario Legislation. ',It:looks much
as if ,they feared` that they could not trust bfr.
biered.ith.• And who beside afew hotel keepers
wish to bee bars kept open until -a late hour
on Saturday night.? Certainly very few, and
many hotel keepers are satisfied with the pro -
sent requirement, as it gives therua little time
,for rest. Should Sir dohn go so far as.to`ne-.
dative the legislation of the Ontario Govern-
ment in this respect he. will arouse public
feeling;to a pitch that he little Anticipates,
and while it in ghtput. a little more moneyein`
the pockets of 'the hotel keepers to be allowed
to keep open later on' Saturday nights, for a
time,'they would soon rue the change ;• for,
public sentimei,t would grow stronger against
the privilege. .
TEE most popular thing with the public at
present is "Mowat's Tyranny,"•and it seems
that the more they got of it the more they
like it.
Ovi, often, reads intlie'papers that," a tea
timonial is being set on foot for Rev. Mr.
Blank, who has so zealously labored for a
natnber•of years, 'rte." These are uodoubt
well meant, but we think- the objects are not
always well chosen: If people wish to recog-
nize the services,of those who " do the igreat-
est good to the greatest number," why don't
they got up a testimonial for some newspaper
men ? There is uo class who work so labori-
ously for the public good, and get: as little for
it, and it has beb>i truly said that newspapers
are far more philanthropic, than most people;
give them credit for, T3ut'as newspapers are
wearied out Nvith' this testimonial business,
they do not want; a personal infliction o£ this
eharaeter; an 4herefore_lielieve t11.at.the beet
thing that could be done would be to take a
resting spell, and wad till there,�was more
vales in inieh a gift.
An early session of the, Dominion 'Par-
liament is indicated by the fact that seve-
ral of the public departments have been
ordered to prepare' their estimate for the
nest fiscal year.,
WFrechette's-_.('Tory M, P. -elect for

peals. The result was that the honorable

also to disqualify himself. N
Mr. Bettes, the Liberal candidate for
theerepresentatioh of Muskoka. and' Parry
Sound in the Ontario Legislature, has.
been elected by a majority of 324, with
several municipalities to heat from, which c
