Musgrove, adllool'teach- er, of Wbtteoburoh, was ttio'unanimoua choice as standard bearer' at the next election to the Loaal Legislature. Mr. Musgrove is an iutelligent young man and a ready speaker but we have our doubts about him ever writing M, P. P. for East Huron after his name. In fact a good many of his supporters have no expectation that he can defeat the pres- ent member, Thos. Gibson, and feeling this some of them did not even attend the Convention. We did intend refer- ring to the resolutions passed at the meeting, which are given ih another column, but space will not permit. Tan Farmers' Institute of West Zor- ra, in Oxford, recently discussed a paper read by Wm. Stewart, on "The Causes of the present Depression in Agriculture and the Remedy." Tho causes are chiefly embraced in the single word,—Competition. The Ontario farmer has to compete as regards wheat, not only with the settlers on the prairie lands of this continent, but with cheap labor civilisations like those of Russia and India. Modern science, —the rail- road, telegraph, and steamship,—is mainly responsible for this state of things. It is a pity the members of the West Zorra Institute had not had before them a speeoh delivered a short time ago by Sir Lyon Playfair, a distinguish- ed economist, and a prominent British Liberal. In this speech Sir Lyon re- ferred to the effect of modern invention upon agriculture in those words :— The economical applications of science in the vast improvements of the telegraph, the railroads and the steamships have changed the whole system of commerce. The effect of these has been to destroy local markets, and to consolidate all into one market—the world. If our land- lords and farmerswant to know the names of the three persons who have knocked out the bottom of our old agri- cultural system I can tell them. Their names nae Wheatstone, Sir Henry Bes- semer and Dr. Joule. The first, by telegraphy, has changed the whole system by which exchanges are made ; the second, by his improvements in steel, has altered profoundly the transportation of commodities by sea and by land ; and the third, by his disooveriee of the mechanical equivalent of heat, has led to great economy of coil in compound en. gines. By those changes the United Stales, Canada, India and Russia have their corn crops brought to our doors. The effect of these discoveries upon the transpsrt of Dorn will be realized when I state that a small t m 1 cake of coal,width would pass through a ring the size of a shilling, when burned in the compound engine of a modern steamboat, would drive a ton of food and its proportion of the ship two miles on its way from a foreign port. This economy of coal has altered the whole situation. Not long since a steamer of 3,000 tons going on a long voyage, might require 2,200 tons of coal and carry only a limited cargo of 800 tone. Now a modern steamer will take the same voyage with 800 tons of coal and carry a freight of 2,200 tone. While coal has thus been economized human labor has been lessened. In 1870 it required 47 hands on board our steam- ships for every 1,000 tons capacity, now only 28 are necessary. All these ohanges going on in the economy of fuel and of labor have lend to increased production at a small Dost. Three men in the U. S. working for one year in the growth, milling, and transportation of wheat can produce floor for a year's oonenmp- tion of 1,000 other men, allowing one barrel of dour to each adult. I need not elaborate this point further, for you will all see how this bas anted upon agricul- ture. It has made the grain market one all over the world. No doubt agriculture in the various countries will, in comae of time, adapt itself to the altered conditions. Ontario, for instance, will go more and more out of wheat, and more and more into mixed husbandry. In the meantime there will be considerable disturbance and loss. One thing is clear, however, and that is that, come what may, cheapness of pro- duction will always be an important factor. For this reason the Ontario farmers are specially interested in tariff questions, yet, curiously enough, such question aro generally tabooed in the Institutes lest they should evoke party feeling. But surely the farmers ought by this time to be able to discus matters of the kind from a farmer's point of view. In the United States the farmers' clube devote a great deal of attention to the tariff, 'because of its profound effect upon the toot of production, as web as upon the foreign market, the foreigner being slow to buy from those who refuse to take his products in payment. Sir Lyon Playfair and others halo stated that England would not have spent a thousand million pounds in building Indian railways in order to procure wheat from that country, had the other largo wheat -growing countries been will- ing to accept her goods in exchange for their grain. The Institutes should study the N. P. fairly and dispassionately, just as they study ensilage. manuring, or any other matter oonnoetxl'witll the eoouomy of agriculture. Ii tvhld pay them to do so, and bo of ssrtiii+,'to all. 4 bx.t;1.4kit it 1v0'W 4. osorbittfdrmer was 'obbet'of u AD 1 a 1 i $ 0 by hole hired. matt. A protntoent %Vindaor lawyer, C. J. Crickmore, has disappeared. Him Alex. Morris, ex.M, P.1°., and ex-Lieut..Governor of Manitoba, died NTon' e,y morning. About $4,000 have been paid out for apples at Bothwell during the past few weeks, and still they vers coming in rapid. lyOver 000 persons' have been converted, it is said, at Crossley and Hunter'smeet- ings, at Kingston, and the Campaign goes on for anotherwedk. Mrs. Isabella Fraser issuing the Grand Trunk Railway Company' for damages for the death of her late husband, Chas J. G. G. Fraser, who was killed in the Hamilton disaster last spring, Mrs. Eynon, wife of the late Rev, Dr. Evans, of 'Hamilton, who was injured in the memorable accident at Sb. George on the G. T. 11., died on Monday morning at her residence, East Hamilton. One of the earliest settlers of Essex oounty passed away on Wednesday after- noon of last week, when Ned Lott'smule , "Jennie," aged something less than 100 years, left this world of toil. Miele Ned mourns the loss with many a tear. An old man from Oakville, who has spent the last two or three winters in Milton Jail, was put in again for the winter this week. A few days before leaving Oakville he had his name put on the Dominion Franchise list. The Northwest Assembly appointed a oommit,ee to draught a petition to the Dominion Government to abolish dual languages in the Territories, and their report states that sound public policy, as well as economy, demands a change. The report will be preseuted to the House when Judge Rouleau, the only French Ganadian member, takes his seat. A by-law is to be submitted to the rate. payers of Collingwood asking a bonus of $2,500 for every steamer built by the Doty Engine Works Company, who pro- pose establishing a shipyard there, until sixteen steamers have been completed, each steamer to cost not less than $40,- 000, after which time the bonus will cease. The passage of the by-law is a fertainty. A train with the Vanderbilt party on board made the trip from Windsor to St. Thomas in two hour and sin minutes. There was a atop of six minutes for water, and thirty minutes were lost in slowing up. Deducting the thirty-six minutes, the actual running time was ninety minutes for the 111 miles, over some portions of the road the speed ex.. needing seventy mike an hour. James Thompson was arrested Friday for stealing a bottle of whiskey from Geo. Cummings, of Iiomoka. This is the same offence for whioh another man was arrested a day or two before, and it is alleged that they were accomplices in the theft. Thompeon's chum gave the name of James Roberts, but his real name is D. Summers. That bobble of whiskey will Dost the county about 320 before the pork is pulled. The Grey Review says :—"The other afternoon, a widow lady, named Mrs. Crozier, oame out from Prioeville, intend- ing to take the morning train from Dur- ham, for some point in Miohigan, and, we hear, has her ticket purchased. But Robt. Austin, a gallant widower of this town, got hie eye on her, and thinking she would decorate and cheer his lonely home, proceeded to use those gentle per- suaeives, suitable in such a case, and be. fore the clock struck the midnight hoar, Mrs. Crozier was Mrs. Austin and settled in a comfortable home." An extensive scheme, by whioh the Customs have been defrauded for years, has just come to light at Winnipeg, and it is said that a nnmber of prominent people are implicated. It appears that they have been importing basswood from the United States invoioed as Whitewood. There is no duty on the latter and only an expert can tell the difference. It is also reported that large quantities of dressed lumber have been smuggled across by the same men, the dressed lumber be- ing packed in the oars with a tier of saw. ed lumber, on which ithere is no duty, piled about it so as to deoeive the ap- praisers.
