Toronto is jut at present in a very dilapidated condition. The streets arc being ripped up from one cad of the city to the other for the purpose of instituting electric cars. King and Queen are expected to be in running order for the coming exliibtion, but just at prereut the aunuut of business done along these thoroughfares is is down to a minimum. TLe threatened blow has fallen. 1'reBiden'. Harrison has signed the manifesto which u supposed to make Canada quail from Atlantic to Pacific. Du and after Sept. 1 a duty of 20c.pcr ton will he charged on all Canadian roight traversing the Sault St. Marie .inal. The Canadian Government ,.ad intimated that the objectionable rebate on Wellaud canal freight to Canadian potts would bo abolished at the end of the present season, but that was not sudden enough for the luighty President to the south, and he Lai decided to "put on the screws." Bo bo it. Wo fancy the Canadian government have sufficient backbone at their command to pilot this thing through without any further degrad- ing concussions to the cormorant, IT ha peei'l* will assuredly stand by uny resistance offered to this latest i.iace of Ktpublicau deinagogery, even to the i'*t' nl of reimbursing our vessel meu for any loss incurred. The proper course for this country to pursue at prMi'iit ia to abrogate tlm Washing- * n treaty, aa it has been directly broken by the Americans, and impose direct tulU on American. vegsols through iho Welland ami St. Glair flats caimls. If tin* were clone tho Great Mogul of American Republican- ism would directly find out that his (services were no longer required in the VYhiU {louse, and at the same time a fund would be raised whereby our own vcsselrnen could be more than reimbursed. The Canadian Government went too far when it agreed to abolish tho rebate, but it is not too late to retrace its staps. To the Edtior of Tlit AJeatux. DEAR SIR : I see by your last week's issue in the Fovorsham cores- poudeucc that tho FariuerB' Milling Co. are desirous of obtaining a tanner for the oatmeal department. I am doing business for the said company, and know that such an article is er- roneous and is not hinted at from merely a sarcastic point of view, but pure umlice because Dougal Archie, a quack tanner in this vicinity, is dubirous that such an industry should be established in the village. The Company have plenty to look aftor at present, but should they dtein it ad- visable to engage in that line they will require the services of one skilled in that profession uud not an expert in dog skins alone. Dougal Archie has attempted to remove the obnox- ious proleid from several ukius in thu vicinity for Mr. Paul and several others, and spoilt d the greater num- ber of them. My ail vice to the said tanner is turn his clumsiness to some- thing ho can make a tist of, for far frcin being a spuciahst in the tanning line he is a world's cirotunferauce from being a rival. Signed on behalf of the Farmers' Milling Co. H. HKITMAN, Feversham. The Milk utter. Tho Americans are at pretont hav- ing a very hard time of it. What with labor agitatious.negro agitations and Canadian aggravation, tha govern- uaut of that country is verging upon hysterics. It is now necessary to mainUin a standing army to protect iU millionaires. Within the past two ituonths tbo troopj have been trotted out throe ijiues to suppress the striker al|H jmoatetd, Cocur D'Alano, aud laul v.eek at Buffalo. This ii a strik- ing comment upon tho "freedom" aud "independence" instituted by the igners of the Declaration. A stand- ing army hold to keep tho turbulunt element in check and protect tbe bloatod millionaires who liavo fat- tened of! the poverty stricken masses How tkem down with miniiia balls if they bccotno discontented. That's tint way, old Slurs and Stripes more particularly stripes. Since reading the article iu last week's Mbaford Mirror wo hare found nn reason io niotlify or correct any of tho views ex- |>rMud two weeks ago. The Mirror ha llroppt il the liiul> school t|iiostii>u with a lew insiK"ilii-nt runmi k, Mid does not attiMn;,t to justify tlie brave we-wilt pny attitude which it assumed.

If tin- Minor thinks Mtufoitl is in a pi>iti<>n to assume aucli a hvautifully intli i>i>i>.l<>ut attitude, wliy let it K" nlit'ad. It is it* own funeral. If it thinks its sarcastic references to ' Isinb-liko and adoiuUe " members from the south will help its cause, then again, let it keep rytit on, vf coursa. We are To tit* Klitur of Thf Advance. DIAU SIR,- - Kindly allow mo to make a few remarks on 8. A. Thompson's letter regarding his milk. Had it uut IK-UII for tin liut rumarki, I would have allowed llu letter to |>aaa. He aay there are only two ooune* upon to me, either to withdraw my insinuation t>r prosecute aocordinn to law. Now, air, I nutcr iiimnuatutl. I told linn his milk wa tampered with, which thu diflereut test* in my 'iMiok will ihew. If I had in- tended making thii a caie for the court I would have toslvd hi* milk on the farm. The act says the teat miut be laki-n within it daya after the milk is found wrong. I had no thoui(iit of mak- ing tin* a nuwipa|>er item, u it can do no good, but if S. A. Thoion wishes, I will give datea and per cent, of cream and let the public judge for theinaulvvi if I have dune 8. A. Thompson any wrong. Thanking you for thi* spaco, CHA8. HTKWAKT.

Unfortunately they gave their borses too much of the Beaver river water which is too strong for some animals, as they went home at a two- forty pace. It was "the best man first and the devil take the hindmost." Two rigs were demolished, and this cooled their ardour. Harvesting operations are. in full blast in this district. A good crop is reported of all kinds of grain with the exception of pease. Our entei prising merchants.Messrs. Hogg & Cairnc, have shipped a lar^e quantity of berries this season.
