Our Canadian Commercial Union- iit=. THE BBOT ON TIIE OTHER LEG, Before the McKinley tariff went' into operation great activity was displayed in rushing Canadian stores of bailey, peas, beans, eggs, etc., over the border, and a section of the Reforin press tried to make it appear that all this anxiety was on the part of the Canadian farm- ers, to get rid of their surplus pro- duce in the fear that there would be no chance to sell it in the mar- kets of sixty millions after the Act should be enforced. But according to a despatch from Washington to the Toronto Globe, the boot was mainly on the other leg. It was the American dealers who were specially anxious, because it is they who would have to pay the duty in any case on these import- ed commodities. The despatch says: "The 1 big seed houses in Jefferson County have been doing their best to act in this season's crop of peas and beans before the- new tariff wiped out the larger part of the profit of the busi- ness. For these concerns Canadian peas and beans are a necessity, because the varieties that they cultivate and handle cannot be grown to adythntage in New York State. The soil and ciim• ate on this side of the St Lawrence are not right for the successful growing of the crops that the seeclmen desire to put into their storehouses. The quantity of seed peas and beans grown in Northern New York this year is so small that it is scarcely worth mentioning. The wet weather has spoiled the crops in most localties, and they are put down as almost a total failure. The farmers feel poor, but they are not foolish enough to think that their condition is going to be bettered by the high tariff on Canadian products. In an emerg- ency like this Canadian potatoes should be a great boon to people here if they could get them without paying a duty of 250 o per bushel. The Canadian farriers,' having the advantage of a gravelly previous soil, have not had their crops ruined by wet weather, and avere it not for the exorbitant tariff duties Northern New Yorkers might get their supply from the other Side 'of the St Lawrence •River at reasonable prices, and this without detrimentto the home producer. For several days past Cananian grown potatoes have beau coming across the river at Ogdens- burg, Morristown and Cape Vincent for 4441111111101•12P ‘....MOMMOMMIP use here. The price paid, fur thein by the consumer is from 70c to 80c per bushel. Within a week it is predicted. by the dealers the price will go up to $1 per bushel and perhaps higher People lu'the city of Ogdensburg, and other border towns have been largely depen- dont on their neighbors acrossthe river for certain products used on their tables because the farmers in their own neigh- borhood did not have thein to sell, Canadian eggshave of late years found a ready market, and now that a. duty of fiveceuts per doz is put on them, the consumers are that much out without the slightest benefit to New York pro- ducers, The consumers feel that the McKinley tariff is a little less than rob- bery." So that it is the American con- sumer who is to pay the increased duty on these commodities, 9n his own admrssicn, and not the Canad- ian producer, as Sir Richard Cart- wright and the Globe have been proclaiming. The TIMES has pointed out that if the McKinley Act does not raise the price of the products levied upon in the home market, it can be of no earthly use to the home producer. And, if it does raise the price, and the con- sumer pays the increase, the Can- adian farmer is no worse off than before. It will We found that all the talk of ruin to Canada as the outcome of the new tariff is a mere bugaboo. EDITORIAL NOTES,. The net debt of Canada on Sep tember 3oth was $234, 689, 326—a decrease for that month of $I,87o- 603. At the close ot the fiscal year 1889 the net debt was $237, 530,042, or $2,84o,tess than on the 3oth ult.. The Globe on Monday bad a six column review of the Birchall case, purporting to be statements made to his keepers as to his guilt or innocence. No names were mentioned, and as Birchall has denied every word of it, we must infer that the Globe manu- factured the article as a fake, for the purpose of securiug au increas- ed sale for the paper. The people were badly deceived and censure the Globe severely.. ON Jlonday last the :McKinley Bill went into force. Tire malster of the United States in view of the high duty placed on Canadian bar- ley, which they are forced to use, have been buying and rushing over the border as much of the article as they could secure. Over 7,000,000 bu,llels are reported as haying been shipped across during the past few days. Some 50,000 d zea of eggs were sent from the two cities of Berlin and Guelph, alone in one day. In fact the railways and steamboats bad all they could do to meet the demands of shippers for transport. Canadian eggs in a short tune will be as expensive a luxury to the American as a can- vas -backed duck, and McKinley will receive impolite praise for making the "fruit" a luxury. The barley so far bought for exportation represents about one-third of the entire Canadian crop. THE graziers in Great Britian have never looked with a kindly eye upon the American cattle trade as the effect of it upon their busi- ness has not been beneficial to them ; but, despite their opposition the better sense of the authorities has prevailed, and under a strict quarantine Canadian cattle are admitted on the hoot, while United States cattle, owing to the preval• ence of disease in the American herds, are slaughtered at the port ot entry. The. Americans have striven stror.g l y `'to have this imbar- go removed but without success, and so careful is the British depart- ment of agriculture to guard the native cattle from contamination, that Canadian oattle have been on the point of being excluded also. Twice has Sir Charles Tupper pre- vented this. A few days ago a re- port came from Dundee that a cargo ot Canadian cattle landed there was infected with pleuro- pneumonia, although it is well known to those in authority that the disease does not exist in Can- ada. But at the first hint of such a thing it is natural that the British .Department of Agriculture should take alarm and sef about a speedy. investigation. The result has been that the report is pronounced un- true. There was no disease what- ever discovered in the shipment It would be a great loss to the Dominion's cattle bade if Canadian cattle were excluded from the Brit- ish market. At the first sign of disease in them they will be shut out. Therefore it behooves the Canadian authorities to exercise the utmost vigilance in excluding front Canada the infected cattle of American herds. Any relaxation o£ aigilance' now dtiserve d` would be disastrous to a great and grow- ing industry.

A COMDINATION ON' INTJIESSTS BETWEEN Tirsia* TWO eaEttr LINES ROSSIBLE, Montreal, Clot 3, 1890; -From time to time rumors have gone forth that negota- tions were on foot between the Grand. Trunk and Canadiau Pacific Railways looking to a union of those two great trunk. lines -or, if not a union, at least to closer relations, and perhaps, a pooling of re- r,'ipts, Is there anything in it? is the question an interested public has asked. Thus far there apparently has not, but ouce more the attention of the nubile is conspicuously drawn to these roads, and the knowing ones assert that this time some united move is contemplated. The prolouged visit of Sir Joseph Tyler; his visit to the Northwest, and the proposed hostile legislation threatened by the United States towards those two gi eat roads, give rise to various rumors, and the question is again asked, " What will be the result? Will they oontiuue to protect their mutual interests?" Time will tell; but in the. meantime, there is one natter upon which those connected with these great railways unanimously agree, timely, tbat Nasal Balm is the only comedy for the effectual cure of cold in the head and eatarra 1, in all forms and stages. The following testimony from two well known omoials of these lines, bear out this assertiop. Are J D Kennedy, G T R agent at Brockville ,says: A. shod reatment with Niisal balm radically re.. moved all tracee of my catarrh, The pre. peration is pleasant and easy to use, and gives immediate and permanent relief. Ur Gordon Starr, 0 P li mut at Brook- ville, Bay*: For Roma years I was troubled with a severe oase of catarrh, and was sel- dom free from catarrhal headache, I tried many reniodies, but without avail, I pro- cured a bottle of Nasal Balm, and in less than a week my headaches had dissappoar- ed, together with all other symptoms of catarrh, I believe teasel Balm is a boon to all sufir ring from this terrible malady. Every sufferer from cold in the bead or catarrh should at once procure n bottle of Nasal Balm. No other remedy can possibly take its piece.
