St. John, of Kansas /;ave some startling figures regarding the fi- nancial standing of United States farmers, which certainly proves that tLo farmers on the other Bide are re- trograding with serious speed. Mr. St. John fears that in a few years they will bu a nation of tenants ruled by a fow money kings, and says, " We have more farm tenauta in tweut,v<four states in this union than th'Te art in England, Ireland, Scot- laud and Wales combined." Tlie country's indebtedness has of late been increasing thrto times faster than the wealth has increased, and iz times faster than the population. Nine oer cent of the fiamilies of the United BwU-s own 71 of the wealth, according to the census report, while C 1 por Cunt of the families own but 9 per cent of the wealth. In 35 states aiid territories, including the district of Columbia, the amount of private mortgage indebtedness resting upon the homes and property of the people equals 11,500.000.000. morn than the face value of all the gold com in tin- world. TuU ia a terrible ih'owiug .ml triUiiily accounts for tho unrest demoralization so rampant on other side juat now. To show tho extreme speed with which matters iiave been going 10 the bad, Mr. St. Jolin gives the following comparison : In 18bO only twenty farmers in 100 were tenants ; in 1890 it was 82 per 100, and in tho last ten years the ratio has inoreated over 60 per cent. There is uo doubj whatever that the farmer bears the brunt of this disast- rous state of affairs and ia tho great- est sufferer. To illustrate the sad position in which he is plaoud tho fol- lowing is related : " In 1H7.'I, wlion the Uepuhlic.in party 1 nctiziil Mlvwr by *iionlti>ig a lull l!it. . null (.'nngi-uss > adroitly that ei>n Hi.' l'i,i,|.'i,t ,lid not know tliat th.-n- WAsaSSMM ill it demonetizing mlu-r lion h,.

DBAK SIB I hear that a report has been raised and circulated by a certain fanner living Dear tho "Morey House" corner* that the affair* of the late Rob- ert Park were crookedly manipulated by his agent, the late Joseph Legard. A my wife it the sola legatee, I pronounce the report a base slander without the least foundation to act upon. Mr. Legard ac- counted for all moneys and other property left iu his charge to my entire satisfac- tion and I am entirely s^'-Uficd with the nianuer in which he conducted the affair. By tho will of Robert Park my wife wax left sole legatee, and as I am perfectly satufied With everything Mr. Legard did in the matter I cainW under- stand why such a slanderous lie should he circulated against his honorable lutine.

The fallowing from an exchan((o is only tou true : It is strange how closely men read the papers. We never say anything that anybody doesn't like but we soon hi-ar of it. If, however, we once iu a while happen to say a good thing we never htar of that ; nobody seems to not- ice it. We pay a man a hundred com- pliments and give him a hundred puffs, and he takes it as a tribute to his groat- ness, and never thinks it doe* him any good. But if we should happen to say something this man doesn't like, or some- thing he imagines a reflection on his character stw how quickly he flares op aud gets mad abutit it. All kind* of evil are charged to us, bat we never, pper- ently, get any credit foe what gocd we do. A number of tanners of the townships of Derby, Sullivan, Kvppel and Sy.U-u ham, have entered into an agreement with M r . W. K. liarkuess, uf I.eith, to ship cattle for them to the old country, and the tint shipmewt of 2M head will leave in a few days for Glasgow. Mr. Harkiiosa gnsranteee the ownm $3.50 per hundred pounds), and th-y pay the ocean freight and 98 < pet. head to M . Harkitee* for his services. Mr. llarime s has made arrangenMMsis for tpaoe at 40 shillingM per head on the steams* Aniar- antha, which nails from Montreal on tie 16 iii-<t , and the Khinniaut wilMoave h.'ie on the llth. The cattle will be insult d f T 970 per head at a cost of 7v5c. each. Tlie result of the venture will be looked for with much interest among farmers both in and outside the county. The hiKhont prioe obtainable here from the buyers is, we understand, from 4 to 4J c.'iiU per pound, and the cattle will have to ttrilie a very |>r market indeed on reaching QUsgow if the net resuks to the owners do not exceed that amount.-* Ad- vertiser. !.
