An Over Worked Fad.

( Montreai Gazette.)

The very astute and skilful editor of the Toronto Mail has given the commercial union movement a bad black eye in his effort to turn the failure of the crops in the Bay vf Quinte district to the service of the Wiman project. That journal has for sev- eral days past sought to impress three things on the public mind: that a feed famine is about to overtake Ontario; that farmers must either sel] their stock or im- port fodder, and that commercial union in this circumstance would be of enormous benefit to the agricultural classes. The famine has been worked up fur the special purpose of promoting the *‘ fad,” existing only in the minds of the Mail editor and his retained ©. U. correspondents, and the astonishing part of the business is that the editor should have thought it worth while manufacturing a famine to point a moral which knocks the bottom completely out of the fad. For if an im- aginary grain aud feed famine in Ontario, the chief agricultural] province in Canada, is to be met by importations from the United States rather than from other pro- vinces Of the Dominion, it is obvious that our neighbors have a Jarge surplus of farm products to dispose of and that these can

be obtained at low prices. The Mail locates the famine in the Bay of Quinte district, a small though very fertile

portion of Ontario; it tells the farm- ers that if commercial union pre- vailed they would be able to buy an abun- dance of fodder acrossthe lines at low prices, whereas under the existing fiscal policy they must make good the deticiency by procuring the surplus produce of farmers in more favored portions of the province at high prices; Now, it is quite true that the United States has annually a vast surplus of all agricultural products, excepting perhaps barley, and it is also true that, as a rule, prices run in that country below those in Canada, but, in the name of common sense, are these ,reasons to induce our agricultural population to embrace commercial union? Such a failure of the crops as has most unfortunately vecured inasmall section of Ontario is abnormal, the farmers of the province be- ing blessed, as a generai thing, with good harvests; is it wise to open our market to the surplus products of the States for all time in order to make good the deticiency of a single district in one year? If Amer- ican farmers can cheaply supply their fellows in Canada with fodder and seed, the United States clearly affords no market for the surplus agricultural output of the Dominion, yet untii it en- tered into the mind of the editor of the Mail to manufacture a famine in Ontario to promote the cause whose livery he wears, the farmers of Canada were urged to embrace commercial union in order to obtain a better market than Canada or Great Britain can afford for their surplus farm stuffs. How the American market can be at once a dear one to sell in and a cheap one to buy in it will puzzle even the astute editor of our Toronto contem- porary to explain.

Happily there is no occasion for the alarm sought to be created as tothe harvest in Ontario. The prolonged drought has, in- deed, destroyed the grass and grain crops in Prince Edward, Lennox, and portions of Hastings and Northumberland counties, but the province as a whole will give a yield weil up to the average. Many count- ies in which the cereal production is much larger than in those named, are assured of an abundant harvest, and taking all classes of field and farm products, the season’s out- put will give little cause for dissatisfaction, outside the Bay of Quinte district. The farmers there may be hard pressed; some may be driven to sell live stock, and many tu purchase fodder from other places, but the necessary feed-stuffs can be supplied by more favored localities in Canada, if not as cheaply as by American farmers, at least to more general advantage than could possibly result from the adoption of Commercial Un- ion. Ifthe Mail argument means any- thing it is that that the many ought to suf- fer for all time for the benefiit of the few for a short time.

Taking the Responsibility.

A young man of great capability, fascina- tion and power had a passion for brandy which nothing could control. Often a friend remonstrated with him, but in vain ; as often in turn would he urge his friend to take the social glass. On one occasion the latter agreed to yield to him, and they walked up to the bar. The keeper said: ‘“‘Gentlemen, what will you have?” ‘‘ Wine, sir.” The glasses were filled, and the friends stood ready to pledge each other in renewed and eternal friendship when the young man paused, and said to his intemperate friend: ‘* Now, if I drink this glass and “become a drunkard, will you take the responsibility? ”

The drunkard said ; ‘‘ Set down that glass!” It was set down and the two walked away. And if every liquor dealer who asks for a license to tratlic in the souls of men was asked, as he pays his money: ‘‘ Are you willing to assum? the responsibility, the ruin of health, the broken hearts, the loss of life, the waste of property, the breaking up of families, the blighting of hope and damnation of hell, that waits upon the traffic of strong drink?” Are there not some who would say: ‘‘ Take back the license; rather let me live a life of poverty and of toil, than win the wealth and comforts of this world by spreading ruin and desolation among my fellow men.”

The Spring Hill News regrets to announce the sudden death of John Adams, brakesman, under the most painful circumstances. In jumping off the train to perform some of the duties of his position, his foot slipped on the rail and two flat cars passed over his thighs and the lower portion of his body. He was very badly mangled, and died in a few minutes.

Temperance Picnic.

On Thursday, the 26th inst., the officers and members of Union Division, Springtield, Lot 67, held a picnic near Stanley Bridge on the beautiful grounds of Geo. Bell, Keq. From the site could be had a splendid view of the surrounding country, which, about this time, looked at its best. Temperance and other folk from Clifton, Long River, Gra- ham’s} Road, Stanley, Elliott Station and other parts joined them. The doctors, law- yers, merchants, teachers, millers, farmers, fishermen, &c., were in the crowd to have a day’s recreation. The owner of the grounds came from his hay field, and to please those who brought the good things, had to eat a share. he strangers were treated like- wise. An informant counted 24 wagons driving homeward on the east side of Stanley River, while as great a number went Clifton-ward, to say nothing of those who hadn’t far to go. The crowd were order- ly but jolly, and the only intemperance the writer could charge them with was in pitching Cupid’s darts at each other. He was surmis- ing from this that more “‘ unions” may result from this day's gathering than the mere stiffening of the forces of Union Division or any other temperance body. But oh, he may be considered too presumptive in that opinion, especially by those who wouldn't believe, even though should there rise from the dead a PROPHET,

Silence is Golden.

An exchange says :—General Harrison, the Republican candidate for President, has made himself sick by talking too much, and is con- sequently being ridiculed as the babbling can- didate. In the face of the admonition of the Chairman of the National. Republican Com- mittee-—‘* Don’t talk,” he has been doing nothing since his nomination but receiving delegations of political bummers or notoriety seekers and making speech after speech to them every day, writing letters to cranks on political subjects, and doing everything he can to exhibit his freshness as a presidential aspirant. At last he made himself sick and had to go to bed. Babbling candidates gen- erally defeat themselves. .. Besides saying things they shouldn't say, they destroy their ability to rivet attention when they have something really important to say. Grant knew the golden value of silence, and so does Grover Cleveland. The Reform party in Canada is in the same fix as Gen. Harrison. The biggest talking is regularly done by the Reform papers and sponte:s, and whenever any of them opens his mouth he is sure to put his foot in it. The party isin bad luck right along. If Reformers would do with less brag- ging and prophesying they would mightily improve their chances as a party.

News Notes.

A thousand coal miners at St. Etienne, France, have struck, and it is expected the strike will spread.

Over ninety-five millions of persons travelled by railway ia India last year, eighty-nine millions being third-class pas- sengers.

The Berlin journals consider that the Journal de St. Petersbowrg’s recent refer- ences to the personal relations existing be- tween the Russian and German courts in- dicate the marriage of the Czarwitch and one of Emperor William’s sisters.

The worst epidemic of glanders ever knowa in Ohio has developed in Cleveland. The State Live Stock Inspector found num- erous cases of glanders all over northern Ohio, and traced them to the stables of the Brooklyn street car line in New York. In- vestigation showed fifty-two horses suffer- ing from the disease, some in the worst stages. The cases had not been reported and the horses killed as the law requires. It is feared that infection has spread through the city. The disease is incurable and can be conimunicated to human beings.

The Chief of the Washington Bureau of Statistics, in his twelfth monthly statement for the year ending June 30, 1888, of the imports and exports of the United States, reports that a comparison of the values of foreign commerce for the fiscal year just closed with those of the preceding year shows an increase of $11,336,786 in the total values of the imports and exports of merchandise. There was a decrease of $20,208,592 in the value of exports of mer- chandize but an increase of $31,545,378 in the value of the imports.

New York is not, the Empire remarks, the only city in the United States which views Chicago’s boast of a population of 802,651 with dismay. San Francisco used to be proud of its disfinction as a wonder in the matter of rapid development, but has now to stand to one side and see all the attention bestowed upon Chicago, Minnea- polis and St. Paul. San Francisco excuses its own backwardness in this way: The wheat-milling industry has built up the twin cities of Minnesota very quickly, but this sort of growth has a limit. California is not concentrating its population, but different industries are being cultivated in different parts of the State, and the people are thus scattered over a wide area and are variously employed. This variety of occu- pation swells the population of the State, perhaps not at the cost of the city, but in marked contrast thereto, and San Francisco must wait for the general development around her to confer permanent and un- limited benefits upon the city. This is the true spirit of philosophy which patiently accepts what it cannot prevent. >
