To the farinurs of Canada belong. ,nearly. one half of the $23,00O,000 now on deposit in the Post Office Savings Bank, yet the discontent- ed say that the farmers are the poorest class in Canada. THE pleanteous downpour the northern part of this continent has experienced for some seasons past seems to indicate the need of a re- vision of the theory, that cutting down the forests decreases the rain supply. TohoNro GxonE:-"We believe that the education of the Canadian people into Free Trade principles will be a slow and difficult process. And the Globe has discovered that` the people of Canada are loyal' and not disposed to hand themselves over to the American Republic.. THE TELEGRAPH ' people are kick- ing vigorously againstPostmaster• General Wanamaker's proposition that they shall carry messages at the rate of a mill a word. This would mean that a message of ten words would cost only oue cent, or half as much as Mr. Wan- amaker's Department charges for sending a letter by mail. WE are glad to note that the health of Alexander McKenzie has of 'late •improved considerably. The,' ex -premier talks' freely in justification ot his rote against the motion for the disallowance of the Jesuits' Estates Act. Grit though he is the hon. gentleman is nothing if not, consistent. It was that quality that lost him his position as"leader of his party. Tai:_ young Reformer.. of Cor onto,,have invited Hon. Mr. Lau- rier, the leader of their party in the House of Commons, to speak in Toronto some time this fall, He will, doubtless, -compliment them on their conspiracy of silence, as a party, alieni the condemoa- of the seventy-three Grit M. P.'s who voted against disallowance, and on their infinite tact, individ- ually, in howling against the horrid Tories for giving the very same vote as their friends. SoMx,.of the Reform journals are Oxitario'e .Agrieteltural $tatis tics, Parts 1,, IL and XII. of the seventh annual report of the Bureau of Indus- tries .contain the agricultural statistics of the, Province for the year 1888. The first part deals with the weather and the crops, giving records ot the temperature, aunshine and rainfall, and tables of the area and produce of crops; the second part with live steels, the dairy and apiary industries ;' and the third with values, rents and farm wages; The tables relating to these various sub• jectsare shown by counties and groups of counties, and comparison is made with ' the statistics of previous years from .which we are enabled to see what -changes are taking place iu`' the great industry of our country, and how the results ono year's Ifbors stand with another. The weather records in which an ob- servant man may read the record of the crops,' show that the growing season of last year did not differ very materially from the average of seven years. Thus, for the six months, April to September, both included, the temperature at ton principal stations varied less than 1 0 from the average of seven years, being for the whole Province 57 ° in 1888, against 57.3 ° for 1882-88. The rain- fall shows a greater 'diversity for the same period, being 13.02 inches in 1888 against 15.33 inches for 1882-8. the months of May andJuly beingless than the average by an inch each. June carne within half an inch of the average being 2.41 against 2.91 ; while, on the other hand, August exceeded the aver- age by nearly half an inch, being 3.13 against 2.66. We find the effect of this abundant August rainfall in the splen- did root crop of the year, and the June rains were hardly less effective on the spring grain props. The sunshine record' gives a comparison for six years only, and last year is a little above the average, being 1,418,2 hours in the sic months, against 1,395.5 hours for the corresponding period in 1885-8. The total areaof land in the Province, as shown by the assessors' returns, was 22,058,279 acres, of which 20,823,426 acres are recorded as resident and 1,234 853 acres are non-resident. The clear- ed land amounts to 11,314,735 acres, or 51.3 acres per hundred, being very nearly 200,000 acres more than in the previous year. The balance is made up of 8,512,740 acres of woodland and 2,- 230,814 acres of swamp, marsh or waste land ; but of course the whole area of assessed land is only a small part of the area of the Province. The extent, of ]and devoted to crops is getting slowly larger year by year, being 7,125,223. acres in 1882, and 7,616,350 acres in 1880. The following table gives the area of the principal field crops in 1888 compared with' the averages for the seven years 1882-8: Crops. 1888 1882-8.

The area in oats alone last year exceeded the averageof seven r years by 280,000 acres, while that of wheat fell below it by343,000 acres. Pasture land had an extent last year of 2,536,604 acres. and the rest of the occupied cleared land is devoted to or chards and crops of various kinds. As indicative of the relative impor- tance of the different .crops,it may be stated that upon an average 1,000 acres of cleared land the proportion in hay and cloyer last year was 202.8 acres, in oats 163.6, in barley 79 2, in fall wheat 73.5,wheat 32,5 in peas 61.6,in spring in corn 19.7, in potatoes 13.6, in tur- nips 10., in rye 7.04, in buckwheat 5.1, in beans 2., in mangel-wurzels 1.9, and in carrots 1 acre ; the total in these crops being 673.6 acres per 1,000 acres cleared land greater, and wheat 36.5 acres less. In comparison of the yield of crops the season of 1888 ', differs but little from the comparison of acres. Barley, oats, rye, peas and roots were a plump average as shown in the yield, per acre, and although fall wheat was three bus. less spring wheat was one and a -half bushels greater. The hay crop was under the average by nearlyhalf a ton per acre. The following g table presents a comparison of aggregate yields for 1888 and the averageof the seven years 1882.8; at present '-endeavoring to make the people believe that the Toron tolMail is gradually becoming Tory. Such twaddle requires to be taken with consideration. An election is nigh at hand, and, owing to the ,Mails irregular course' and its crusade against the Catholics and ,Anti -Prohibitionists, the:.

It is a very notieable, fact that in the production of the principle cereals the average of Ontario surpasses all the best agrioultlzral States of the Ameri- can 'Union. • On this topic the report states as follows: -- Fall wheat in Ontario in 1888, although 3.1 bushels below the annual average of the Province, was 1,5 busklela abeve that of Kermess, which made the best record of any State, Michigan comes, nearest to the annual average of the Province, but is 4,1 bushels below, The best crop in spring wheat was in Wisconsin, being 11.5 bushels, or six bushels' below that of Out- aria, The annual average, however, of Dakota for the seven years comes within 2.2 bushels of that of Ontario. WViseon, sin is also Ontario's nearest rival in barley, but is 3.6 bushels below in 1888 and 3. bushels below in the annual average. Illinois leads Ontario in nearest approach to our annual average, but is 1.5 bushels below. Michigan and Ohio come next in order with yields of 2 2 and 3.6 respec- tively below that of Ontario in 1888, and 3.2 and 1,4 bushels respectively below Ontario's annual average. Facts of this sort should go far to- wards giving the farmers of Ontario a good opinion of their own Province,, and to convince them -if conviction, is in any case necessary -that the Ontario farmer can hold his own in, all markets against his American rival, It must be gratifying to every citizen of our fair Province to know that she stands agri- culturally at the head of the column among all the provinces and States of the o ontinent. It will be seen by the secretary's report of the late School Board meeting in our local colums that. the Board has, decided upon a teacher to succeed Mr. Thos Gre- gory whose term' expires with the present year. From upwards of 2o; applications, that of Mr. Gregory Tom of Exeter was selected, by an almost unanimous vote. Mr. Tom is a well educated ycung man and respected, and his appointment may and may not prove satisfac- tory in all respects but in our opinion, judging from the number of applications at hand, the Board might have made a selection more in keeping with the importance of our schools. A man of more mature years and with greater general experience would have been more acceptable. However, if the public are satisfied, we acquiesce. MANITOBA at the present time is considering a wrestle with a some. what diffioult, and we might add, impossible problem. They are threatening to abolish 'Separate Schools in that Province. They will do well to stop and consider. Constitutionally speaking, they cannot do so. Separate schools are one of the provisions of the North America Act, and as, long as that. Act stands Roman Cathol- ics can claim all it allows them. It is beyond provincial legislation to amend the Act. though such an amendment may be much needed and if the Manitoba Legislature takes such action uponit- self its enactment will not stand testing in the courts or in Parlia- ment, should those affected be dis- posed to seek such redress. De feated in one quarter by an uncon- stitutional law, Protestantism souldn't try to remedy matters in another by an unconstutional law. Such would be senseless. The opposition of the Pope and the political power of the 'chut ch is fast devolving into opposition to the Roman Catholics individually. That is a bad spirit to, let grow.. No good can come of it, and car- ried to conclusions means a religous war in this country. which is about the worst thing that could hap. pen. it. There isno one in Can- ada, black or white of whatever nationality or religion, christian or pagan, who is not entitled to life, liberty and pursuits of happiness, so long as he acknowleges the national laws. A square wrestle with political Rome is one thing, and an attempt to deny Roman Catholics rights which the law allows them is another. Lvoxvow Aug.
