The Exeter Advocate, 1890-8-28, Page 4TliE : .e er 'oratt. WM. SANDERS. Editor. THURSDAY, AUG. 28th, 1890, EDITORIAL NOTES.. No w eennar the Globe and Lord. Salisbury are not good. friends. He has just added by the Anglo -German. agreement a million of squarelmiles to the Queen's dominions, bile the chief organ is vigorously engaged in trying. to detatch :3,519,000 square miles, which. is the area of Canada from the British Empire. IT looks as if the speculators were at the same tricks regarding the Manitoba, crops as they were a couple of seasons ago, when reports were Spread that the crop had been almost ruined by the frost, while it had been only slightly damaged, Trustworthy !accounts say that the crops are all right, and the public should not regard dispatches to speculators sent solely to affect prices A TORONTO advocate of the agitation for the commercial vassalage, followed by the political annexation, of Canada to the United States with blun,lering forgetfulness admits into itseditorial columns a statement that the number sof pensioners of the United States is 'already more than half a million, with over three hundred thousand addition- al applications. Yet this Reform organ is strenuously urging ' the people of Canada to claim the privilege of pay- ing a share of this swollen pension list. ONE would think that the Reform or- gans would get tired of collecting and disseminating statements to the detri- ment of the Dominion. But they never -seem to do so. With a persistence worthy of a better cause they labor to show that things are as bad as bad can be, and then profess righteous indigna- tion when accused of the very offence they have committed. Perhaps in the political mellennium there will be no Reform organs except within the cases of museums as specimens of an extinct monstrosity. Soma of the counties of the province of Quebec are represented as being "in extreme want owing to the failure of their crops." We are told that "they had a poor harvest last year, and this season everything has been burnt up by drought." And the misery thus caused is actually attributed by a Reform journal to the N.P., while there is the further absurdity of assuming that the United States customs duties are fixed by the N, P. Strange are the shifts to which the Opposition organs are driven. THERE will be a fresh howl from the Blaine school of politicians and the big railway rings when a new phase of the Behring sea question comes to the front. This is the fact that the cargoes of seal- skins are being prepared at the Pacific coast for shipment to London over the C. P. R. One cargo in particular, now being got ready in Victoria, is owned by a San Francisco firm, and is valued at 0150,000. The bold Canadians not only have the effrontery to fish in the high seas, but they compete success. fully for freight cargoes, and even in- duce United. States merchants to use their railway in preference to American lines. All this is enough to send the tailtwisters into a fresh frenzy. A FAnetr i who has been vainly try- ing for seven years to make a living in Dakota has arrived in Manitoba to stay. His experiences are worth ;not- ing. In July last he had 200 acres under crop looking promising, but a hot wind came along and ,wiped out the whole thing. The hot wind is evi- dently a robust member of the blizzard family. He told the representative of a Winnipeg paper that his" experience has been the same, year after year, for the long period mentioned, and he says. that state of things is general. All the people who can get away are conse- quently leaving the district without being able to sell their land or their stock. Coming northward the gentle- man found excellent crops extending from Inkster, N. D., towards Winnipeg. He does not hesitate to say that if he could have raised such crops as he has seen in Manitoba he would not have found it necessary to leave South Da- kota, Gnu chewing is decreasing in some parts of the continent, but in others the practice is extending. In St, Louis gum vendors go the rounds of the com- mercial. d .n " a Iaiv offices and the clerk buy both for themselves and the pretty typewriters. Stranger still old men yll c � e, l who',lrould 'scarcely think of entering a sliop.to buy bilin buy it freely in their own offices and chew. The prac- tice seems an es teat one, but it has its defenders. It is said to cheek bleeding at the nose; it sine e > isjns the jaws and cleans the teeth. .l'.ui as it may be for digestion in many instances, it is claimed that it is '1 sovereign remedy for some kinds of ili'spepsia, amongst them heartburn. Another argument used in its favor i 'nit it is an outlet for American nervousness. Gum is rarely sold to men who drink a'.coholic liquors, and most of it not sold' to the women, boys and girls goes to men who neither smoke nor drip x.: Com- pared with tobacco chewing, gum chewing has some advantages, among- st then the luar:i t 'nerds() it gives the jaws. The practice is, however; somewhat inelegant, and if continued through many generations would, no doubt, develop jaus as broad as the chest, and so Iowa:- the standard of physical beauty. It would also tend to make the Ainerthan race a silent, one, and, if accompanied by the enor- mous jaw development referred to would possibly interfere seriously with the demand amongst European noble- men for American elves. A FARMER'S YEAR. From almost every y section of Canada comes the gratifying :intelligence that the wheat crop will nowhere fall per- ceptibly below the average, and will in Manitoba and the North-West go con- siderably above it. Indeed, some estimates put the a Trplus of wheat for export from that section of the Domin- ion as high as 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 bushels; and, although this may, pos- sibly, prove .a trifle high, still there is no doubt but that the yield will be large, equalling, if not exceeding, the great crop of 1887. In Ontario an average of 25 to CO hushels to the acre is confidently counted on; and all in- dications at present are that the. Do- minion will not only grow enough wheat to feed our own people, and pro- vide seed for next year, but will have several million bushels of a surplus to send to Europe, where the crops are pretty generally below the average, and the shortage , iP 3e about 175,000n 000 bushels, which' will have to be drawn from. Egypt. India and this side of the Atlantic. In the United States crop prospects are poor. Wheat will not be a two-thirds rip, and corn will fall considerably below` half a crop. Under these circumstances it is of course not surprising that the prices of cereals should have experi- enced a sharp advance; and the indi- cations are that before, the opening of next year, wheat, corn and other grains will be selling at figures which have not been touched for a long while. This is essentially a farmer's year. He has had, and will continue to have, the combination he is elways desiring, a large yield and high erices. The sum- mer has been ung, ,ally favorable in many ways, as the abundant rains have hot only given an enormous hay crop; but the plentitacle of good pas- turage is apparent in the 'improved quality, as well as - 'irautity, of the cattle shipped to Great Britain, while the quantity of cheese exported to date is about 125,000 boxes more than at this time last year. There > will, of course, be one drop of gall in the far= incr's cup of happiness, otherwise he would not be happy, The Whole root crop in some distriets does not promise to quite come to the average, potatoes especially, being somewhat short both in quantity and quality. Still, 'taking one consideration with another,' the fanner will come, oat at the end of the year in afar better position than lie has for three seasons past. 1..m UNFORTUNATE IRELAND. Once more it appears Ireland is to go through the saffe,rilig of a potato fam- ine, which means want, privation, per- haps actual starvation to thousands. The blight has again made its ,appear- auce, and in that part of Ireland mark- ed by a diagonal line from Waterford across to Sligo,which is one of the poor- est and most thickly peopled sections of the country, the crop is an entire failure. Throughout the whole island the potato crop is the worst since 1879, when an appeal had to he made to the. world to feed the starving;i an appeal which was nobly responded to then, and will be responded to again if as- sistance from without becomes neces- sary. The Imperial Government has voted sonic £500,000 or .6600,000 for the 'construction of railways in the striken district, with a view of provid work for the needy; butt it is feared that this will prove only a drop in the bucket --and not an immediately avail- able drop, either -and that help must be appealed for from other nations.
