What course does a ng man pursue

He restricts his dealings certainly,
until assured of his error or changed
principles. The 'United ,States have so
dealt with us and if in exercising the
common caution of a businessman, the
Government of Canada earn the name
restrictionist; well We can support them
without disgrace, and wear the title as
a badge of honor. The Globe admits
that the Canadian manufacturer will
receive a heavy blow; it even hints
that he may be blotted out; that is: our

a matter of increasing importance to
the whole Dominion, Amidst the many
conflicting reports which were current
during the last two or three weeks it
was difficult to deterznine with any de-
gree of certainty whether the year was
to be set down amongst the failure& or
the successes. It is gratifying to be,
now informed, on the authority of the
Minister of Agriculture,that very com-
plete report# have been received by hes
Department from all points, and that
there is no longer room to doubt that
"this year's grain crop, most of which.
is not Harvested, is a magnificent one,
the yield heavy and the quality excel-
lent," This is indeed good news, and,
if confirmed by . the crucial tests of
threshing and marketing, -will not only
bring needed prosperity to the :farmers
and other dwellers oa the prairies, but
will help to Confirm the reputation of
the country for wheat -growing to an
extent that must tell powerfully upon
11QSt season's immigration,
EDITOBL =.1L NOTES.
Sir John Macdonald told a Montreal
reporter on his way home to Ottawa
that it was time enough to speak of re-
ciprocity when it was adopted by the
United States Senate. That sums up
the situation 'beautifully in a very few
words.
Oa* nnninr of Mr. Mowat it is ad-
vanced that his new condition in the
contemplated sale of limits that the
timber must "be manufactured in the
province" has the curious effect that it
"knocks on the head 'the theory" of
Tory writes. It is a strange way of
knocking a theory on the head to a-
dopt it and put it in practice. Conserya-
tive members and Conservative journ-
als have pressed upon Mr. Mowat that
he should thus secure a benefit for the
people of Ontario instead of surrender-
ing it to foreigners, and after prolong-
ed resistance he has now knocked, the
Conservative theory on the head by
yielding to it. The explanation is
queer, but the conversion to better
ways is satifactory.
In Mr. Mowat would follow a little
closer upon Mr. Meredith's heels he
would better deserve the compliment
of leading a " progressive Government"
bestowed up him by the London Ad-
vertiser. Mr. Mowat is no Reformer.
His administration is honey -combed
with fossilism, The appointment sys-
tem is execrable. The province lives
upon its caps l,l, and critism is staved
off by a comparison with the extra;
vagance of Quebec. As the fountain
of power Mr, Mowat is able to stifle
i within ranksthefaithful
elitism t lutheoff at
at present, and attacks like ours are
credited to partisan bias. But the day
isnot distant when these things will be
seen in their true light by the whole
province.
Tun Ottawa Journal does not appear
to understand,the system on whichMr.
Mowat rules this province, when it
declares: "Hon. Mr. Gibson still dis-
charges the duty of a Minister of the
Crown in the Ontario Cabinet, although
he is not a representative of the peo-
ple, inasmuch as he was defeated in
the general election three months ago.
It is time that either Mr. Gibson found
a new constituency, or Mr. Mowat a
new Minister." If the Ontario Premier:
was responsive to the will of the people
he would have been. in Opposition long
ago. The chief use of his Administra-
tion, however, is to furnish to the peo-
ple of Canada an example of how a
Grit Government behaves. As long as
this example is before them they will
never elect a national Government of
the same cgmjalexion.

The Apple Crop.
There is not the least doubt now,
says the Montreal. Gazette, but that the
price of winter apples will be high this
year, owing to the scarcity. At the
present time the market is glutted
With early un •keeping varieties, which
dealers find the greatest difficulty in
imt i tifg, the deina•1.d no doubt being
curtailed owing to the Targe oferings
of'other fruits. Mr John Larry, who
,does -a large wholesale trade in apples
at the honsecotlrs market, has just re,
turned from a trip through Ontario,
where he has been buying. Ho in-
formed a reporter that the crop would
be from one-fourth to one half the
average. The American crop is also a
failure, and the American buyers are.
contracting for all they can get their
hands on, and have now fully half the.
crop in many large sections scorned,
Of course, said Mr. Barry, this scarcity
means high prices this fall. Dealers
are paving frons $2.25 to $2.50 per bar-
rel for the fruit on the trees, while con-
tracts have been suadeeast of Toronto
as high as $3. The best fruit is to be
found about Meford and Owen Sound,
and is only medium, in other sections
a large percentage being badly speck-
led. Speaking of the prospects for
shipping to the other side, Mr. Larry
said the exports would be light, as
there would be none too many here for
home consumption. Mr. 0. E. Hart, of the
firm of 0. E. Hart, fruit merchants,it•ho
has also just returned frons a trip
through Ontario,•1•eports apples very
scarce, and does not look for over .one-
tenth of the average yield. :While ?.p•
pies now on the market are cheap and
hard to move, he says winter:, apples
must be high. We cannot get any
from the states and iie have an in-
sufficient yield in Canada for home con.
sunption; so that prices must of necess-
ity be very high The pear crop, he
estimates, will be . between one-third
and one-half the. average. There are
no peaches and very few plums. The
cause of the poor crops is electric
storms which prevailed early in the
season and did great injury, to the trees.
The Church .of .Notre Dame, Montre-
al, is said to have had a narrow escape
from fire.
