The Hon. W. H. Hatch, of Missouri,

much as Russia and France combined; of has this to say of the sixty-five million

corn, about as much as all the rest of the

world; of horned cattle they have five mil- lions more than any other country; of pota-.

toes, 200,000,000 bushels a year; and as many hows as all the rest of the world com- bined. The United States is pre-eminently the agricultural country of the world, and sending farm produce there is like sending coals to Neweastle. Someone will ask, How is it, then, that we send them agricul- tural product8? © will try and explain.

The Unived States exported over 810,- 000,000 doilars worth of goods last year, the bulk of which was agricultural products, and, with the exception of cotton, corn and tobacco, nearly ali cf these articles are pro- duced in Cxnada.

Tney sent more potatoes to the West Indies Inst year from New York city alone than Canada sent to the United States alto- gether. They can never be consumers of foreign agricultural products; but if Canada ch» s 8 ‘olet the Yankees du the selling for her I suppose they will charge their com- mission ané net complain. I du not mean to say but the buik of the goods sent from Canada to the United States is consumed there, but that does not aff. ct the argrment. The potatves that the Island sent to the Boston market last year practically went to the West Indies, for from New York a cor- responding amount went there that would have to be kept home were it not for the Canadian article. They consume our eggs, to be sure, but the production of eggs in the United States is growing very fast and svon will overtake the consumption. The eondition of agriculture in the United Stares is deplorable, and the eastern farmers are turning their attention to the pro- duction of those small articles that we have been sending to the New England cities,

‘and it is only a question of a few years

when they will havea surplus of the smaller articles as great as they now have of the staples.

Now, we hear a lot about the 65,000,000 market, and are told that if this market was opened up to our farmers the value of their farms would increase 100 per cent., and that it would be a boon ef such great benefit to the Maritime Provinces that to secure it Mr. Davies says he would “‘vote a severance of the union without 4 moment's hesitation.” (Vide report in Patriot of Mr. Davies’ speech in New Brunswick some time ago )

Now, if the farmers of Canada would pr-sper to such an enormous extent by participating in this great market, meeting as they would the competition of the Amer- jean farmer, that individual must be in a very happy and prosperous condition, hav- ing the whole market to himself, and meet- ing no competition. But is this a fact / I think surely if we can prove that if the American farmer in place of prospering, is losing money, that with all those glurious opportunities he must have from the un- contested possession of the 65,000,000 mar-

than slavery, surely the whole argument for Unrestricted Reciprocity must tall to the ground. I can see no logical escape from this conclusion. If there 1s any one,

who can, I would Ike to have his name and address. We will call on the witnesses.

Here is what the Hon. J. G. Cavlisle aays, and there is no better-informed man in the United States :

‘* That agriculture’generall: is not now, and has not been for several years, in a flourishing condition in the United States, is almost universally conceded. There are, doubtless, pticula: localities adapted to the production .f special articles, in which tie farmers are fairly prosperous, but a great majority of those engaged in agricultural pursuits are barely able to support their families and ex- pend a sufficient sum annually upon their jands and buildings to prevent them from deteriorating In many parts of the country hes are not able to accomplish even this, ani some have altogether abandoned the ‘effort.

“Ig agriculture depressed?” Ves, helow that of avy universal and absolutely imp>rt- avt industry withiu the present century; de- pressed to the lowest mark it will bear with- out absolute ruin to all engaged in it, aud the inevitable creation of a political and social revolution to maintain its «xistence, and save the hc mesteads of millions of farmers. This depressiou it not sectional, nor is it confined to any one of our great crops, It embraces in its baneful « ff-cts 4/1 sections of our coan'ry, and every g/eat crep growing and every class of steck raised. «xcept, in a limited sense, extra fashions ly bred blooded _ horses. lt has produced the absolute ab«ndon- ment of thousan:is of farms in the New Eng- land States, and the sale of thousands of others at prices so low as to arouse the Ntate authorities of Vermont and New H«mpshive, impelling them to a character of official ad- vertisement for settlers from Europe, unpre- cedented in our history, and anielite to the perpetuity of our once prosperous condition as an «gricultural peopie; and this is the most highly favored section of our country, as to prices and ‘“thome markets.”

In an article in the Forum last April, C. Wood Davies says :

‘“‘From the close of the war until near the middle of the ninth decade the farmer shared in the nation’s prosperity. In more recent

cars, however, this state of thrift has been succeeded by one of unremunerative toil, accompanied by much privation. When, as is now the case, over vast areas wheat sells at from 40 to 50 cents, oats at from 9 to 12 cents, and corn from 10 to 13 cents a bushel, and fat cattle from 14 to 3 cents a pound, farmer can indulge ia but few luxuries.”

“The logical conclusion trom vhe evidence offered is that the troubles of the farmer are due to the fact that there are altogether too many farms, too many cattle and swine, too many bushels of corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat and potatoes, too many tons of hay and too great a production of nearly all other farm products for the number of customers.”

Concert at Lake Verd.

On the 31st January the members of Lake Verd Debating Club gave the first of a series of concerts. Although the rosds were blocked and travelling inconvenient a large and respectable gathering assembled in the Schoolroom, and quite a large num- ber of the fair sex graced the oceasion with their presence. Mr. Jvseph Smith, in opening, said he regretted that the dis- agreeable state of the roads prevented a great many members of the society frora attending. However, he had much pleasure in opening the concert and hoped all who were present would de the best they could to make it a success. The following ladies and gentlemen took part: the Misses Acorn, the Misses Wood, Owen Wood, Patrick Jakeman, Charles Curley, Daniel Carmichael, Thomas Howlett, Peter Jakeman, Joseph Carroll, Daniel Line, Alfred Acorn, John Trainer, Michael Jakeman, James Trainor and Bernard Cal- laghsn. To particularize would be doing an injustice, as all did their parts remark- ably well; but one thing was noticesb'e, namely, the amount of vocal talent. display- ed, alse the harmony and good feeling ex- isting among those present. The singing of the ladies was particularly good. Mr. Bernard Callaghan deserves the thanks of all present for his sociability and great en tertainmg atilities, After nearly a score of songs had been sung, besides a large amount of readings and recitations the night's fun came to a close by singing ‘‘Auld Lang Syne.” Three cheers for the Queen were then given, after which the audience dispersed well pleased with the night’s proceedings.
