Minister Foster brought down his budget speech in the Dominion Par- liament on Friday last. Tbe speech showed the finances of our country to Le in a prosperous condition. The receipts lajt year from all sources had been 188,772 ,H7.0, leaving a surplus above txjwnditure of $1,900,000 to add to the sinking find. There was au increase in revenue receired from customs of t2,H74,40i. With rcler- once to the businees prosperity of the country the Minister of Finance said : Tin fanners aud fishermen have probably had no more, if not some- thing less, than au average year, but taken on the whole their condition is oue of fair prosperity and one without the hardships, which are found in many other countries outside of Cana- ii i While the state of trade and the condition of the country within has been so thoroughly, satisfactory, as 1 have said, there has been something done also towards tbe realization o! tho hopes which bave been enter- Uintd for > number of years which w, , pat in a permanent way last year by the generosity of this House thu formation of swift communica- tion between Canada aud various other important sections of the world." Tho Breech embraced provisions for some radical changes in the tariff, made necessary by growth of mauu facturcs and other changed conditions of the country. Corn for ensilage purpose has been placed upon the free list, which, no doubt, will make our uitimbnr for south Orey happy. Tbe speech throughout showed that the Government is fostering the in- terests of its people and building up another great country ou this wetiterii In mi. spherei Ware not yet quite ready for annexktiea to tbe United btat< a not quite.

If tb* opyo- >uj Mis art M *W behind the prea- fil Uwe iet e^a4 to the prnleeltou of 'Lurch throagU iu uioutlipieec, Hon. Mr. Fraser, 10 bitterly oppcM tlicm ? Why does he tauut the Opposition with beigg Orange fanatics, if he has assisted in placing still more stiingent laws on the statute books ? It makes n tired aud sick to listen to such an oratoriMl east wind. If at the next election the electors divide on the merits of the case and vote as their best judgement and impulses suggest and not as their party prejudice* lead, they will take Mr, Meredith s view of the cape The subjoet of Canadian barley growing is receiving great Attention just at prebfiii at the hands of farm- ers and dealers. The United Slates is about to impose a heavy duty on imported barley, which will ilmt it out of their inarkcU. Canada exports annually 11,000,000 bushels to the United States. What will be the result when this market is closed to us ? A writer in Tuesday's Empire (whose letter we repiint else- where) discusses the matter in a practical manner aud advocates tin growing of the two-rowed variety for the English maiket. Uur farmer friends would do well to read the let- ter carefully. The Dominion Govern- ment has tiJit.ii this matter by the foreltck arid brought to Canada several thousand bushels for distribu- tion, notice of which was given three weeks ago. After ten years of publication the Stratford Advertiser, printed by Messrs. Pratt & Tracy, has ceased to exist. In their valedictory the pub- lishers say : "There are subscribers on our books owing from oue to eight years, the total amount ruuuiig np to hundreds of dollar*." This is what The Advance calls newspaper con sumption, aud it is fatal in nearly al cases when it once takes a hold. If subscribers will not pay up the paper cannot live, and then, after a paper ha* ceased, those who owed the print- er have the remorseful satisfaction of knowing that they helped if thy only owed fifty cents to ruin a follow man in btimness. Humanity will have more to answer for iu in..- line than it probably in aware of. Do jou owe for this paper ? In his speech at Taristock Mr. Mowat said, "I am not going to dia- CUM Prohibition here." Ho was as cautious as the colored preacher wiio said to a white brother who was to oocupf his pulpit on,8uuday morning : "It will be just as well to make no allusion to stoaliu' in de sermon dis mo'niB,', 'ka-je it might frow a damper ou de meetin'."
