The Crops of the. Present Year
A contemporary after carefully seru
tinizing the several crop reports which
have this season been issued summarises'
the
result as follows : Westward of
Toronto lies the most important'', grain
- producing part of Canada. Yet in it
winter wheat scarcely amounts to a guar•
ter of a crop. We have heard of it being
cut in many places and piled up for
manure. In some places where it was
hardly thought fit for such a purpose
whole fields were burned. There is an
average of less than five bushels to the
acre. Spring wheat is about half the ordin-
ary yield, and the average is not more
than tern bushels. The sample in both
kinds has a rather poor appearance and
lacks the customary bright color. Bar-
ley is a light crop with a thin grain. All
the coarse grains appear to be abundant
in yield 'and of standard iweight. To
the north, and eastward as far as Moat -
real, fall wheat returned no more satis-
factory results than in the west. Re-
ports speak of it as a failure in many
places, almost a failure in all. Thecon-
dition of spring was rather better, rang-
ing from one-half to a two-thirdaverage, -
Barley is bright - in sample, of fair weight,
but under the general quantity. Other
grains have done well. Between Mont-
real and the Atlantic Provinces the
average of winter wheat was very small.
The little that was grown was fair in..
quantity and good in weight and appear- '1
- anoe. What spring wheat was grown
left little room for complaint. In other. i
kinds of grain the production showed -
some diminution, but almost equalled
the ptosperous yield which was common
to the whole of this Province.
el check. Caution and watchfulness, no
despondency, are the true qualities fo
the. times. --A certain amount of busi
nest must be done, an will be done, un
der all circumstances ; and let it_ neve
be forgotten that a sm )ler business wel

Mr. Mackenzie's Speecb.
The Dominion Premier delivered an
address to his constituents in the County
of Lambton last week. A synopsis of
this address we publish in another part
of this issue. It will well repay a care-
Jful and attentive perusal on the pa't of
our readers. It is a plain, straightfor-
ward and truthful statement of th, af- l
fairs of the country as they exist. ! His
evident desire is to place matters in their
proper light, and to leave an intelligent
• public to judge as between himself and
hie opponents. In a few words he clear- 1
ly and distinctly showed the hollowness 1 i
and insincerity of the newly -found re-
gard of Sir John and his colleagues, for A
the welfare of the manufacturing and dom. d
mercial interests of the. country, and also
showed that the present Government lad ao
done more to advance those interests - h
during the short period of their e.Xist- o
ence, than their opponents had done dur- a
ing their long tenure of office. He equal- P
ly as clearly and distinctly declares his (ta
sympathy with the temperance move- to
Ment, and his desire -for the total prohi-
bition of the liquor traffic, so soon as the te
country is prepared to'faithfully carry m
out and make operative so sweeping a er
.law, He showed that greater efforts are C
now being made to open up and developru
vi
the resources of the Dominion than liad de
ever been attempted under the old re- is
gime, ani- he proved that the public on
works are being conducted more eeo- do
nomically than similar enterprises .had mil
ever been, ,under the control of the old. oa
Government. In reply to the taunts': of be
his oppoueuts that the members of the Ai
present:Government are lacking in abil-
ity, he pointed out many prominent
measures which had been carried through
Parliament by his- Government, which.
' their predecessors, through lack of cour-
age, dare not tackle, He also enumer-
ated many useful reforms, such as a pure tA'
election law, the extension of the frail -
to
chise, and the ballot act, which had been t o
given to the country by those now in an
power, and which the _country would not
she
now enjoy had their opponents remained toes
ties
in office, Ile proved from the public re-
cords the untruthfulness of the charges
made against his Government, of favorit-
ism in awarding public contracts and of
general extravagance, and defied his op. the
ponents to substantiate on the floor of Fou
Parliament any one, of the many charges I P be,
