Canadian Barley Ought to Realize 65 CentsaBushel in the British nIarketrâ€" The following is the conclusion of Prof. Robertson’s address before the Ontario Central Farmers’ Institute on “The Possi- bility of Selling Canadian Farm Products at a Profit in the English Market”: I have here the particulars of prices obtained for Canadian “Baldwins” in the Liverpool market, during the present sea- son. Based on sound No. 1 stock, the average price was 16s. 4d. a barrel or about $4. The average transportation charges are from 90 cents to $1.10 per barrel. I have a chart here, showing the relative position for four years of the Canadian apples, showing how the Canadian Baldwins compare with New York, Maine and Boston Baldwins. The chart shows that the Cana- dian Baldwins have been getting the highest prices going. That means that we have obtained the preference of the English pur- chaser, which I think a very important matter. Mr.. John Dyke, Canadian Government Agent at Liverpool, writes as follows: The Canadian barrels are somewhat larger than those from the United States, but the quality of the Canadian fruit stands superior to any other opple imported into England. The articular varieties received from Canada are Bel wins, Greenings, Northeni Spy, angs and Rpsseta. Baldwins are theo apples in greatest demand, end the lowest average price for No. 1, sound stock, this season has been 14s. 6d., whilst the hi ghest evmge has been 205. per hen-cl.

After that date, the English fruit is not a. factor in ’the competition at all. The freight from any part of Ontario to Liverpool will not average more than $1 er bun-e1. toshippers. The im m this sense! have been in excess of anything be ore recorded, but the «div; has been excellent, and there is Many no limi to the demand for Gunman fruit of this quality and condition. The English apple, generally making, is not of II keeping quality! and is mostly disposed of by tile keeping q'nalit , and'is mostly disposed of by the time the (Jam ian winter stock arrives Egan, gyjjhp I have taken a good deal of your time. 3 The subject as to the possibility of selling Canadian farm products at a profit in the English market, has not been presented as concisely to you as it would have been if I had had more time for preparation; but I have to thank you for your kind indulgence. The object has been to whet your percepâ€" tions, clear away some mists that ther around men’s opinions when their in arms.- tion is imperfect, and lead you to the for- mation of a sound judgment and profitable practice. I have touched upon the econo- mical aspects only. Besides, there is the patriotic and national aspect, which means a good deal to most men. I have hope for and faith in the future of my own country, and I have confidence in the capabilities of my own business of farming to render the farmers every desirable service. I am con- fident that the English market is able to give us such prices for our products as so leave a living profit, a leisure for workers, and enough of a balance to make Canadians the most prosperous, contented and happy people who follow farming, anywhere on the earth. British and United States Markets for Food Products. In the matter of barley, Great Britain imported in 1891, 34,931,396 bushels, hav- ing a value of $28,916,920. Canada has been sending to England very little barley. During the past season, a little over 300,000 bushels of two-rowed barley were shipped, and the price paid to the farmers here has been from 8 to 15 cents higher than for six rowed barley. It has not met with the same favor in England as, perhaps, some of us expected, for this reason, that the Eng- lish market in everything is a discriminat- ing market. Farmers need to have the different qualities, graded properly, cleaned properly and kept separate, so that every- thing will stand on its own merits and quality. The Russian Government has been moving vigorously to establish a sys- tem of grain inspection at its ports,for Rus- sian wheat has been dumped into England indiscriminately, and consequently brought the lowest prices. The prices in England for barley have been ruling at 36 and 40 shillings per quarter. That means a price of 92.1; cents for our weight of 48 lbs. to the bushel. The freight and charges from To- ronto to Great Britain vary from 25 to 27.3 cents per bushel. If we had a quantity of barley as good as the samples which were sent, it could have been sold in Eng- land at 36 shillings a quarter. The expense of getting it there would not be over 27 cents a bushel ; that makes it possible for the Canadian farmer to realize 65 cents per bushel of 48 pounds. If you want to gain the English market, you must suit it, and it will give you fair play. Oats have been imported into Great Britâ€" ain in 1891 to the value of $26,648,572. The Liverpool price has been from 50 to 55 cents, and the Toronto price about 34 cents, have a. bare margin of profitable ex- port. ...n i“- L Peas were imported into Great Britain in 1891 to the value of $4,197,144. During the year ending June 30th, 1891, Canada sent to England peas to the value of $1,485,348. They have been selling in Liverpool at about 90 cents, and in Toronto at about 60 cents. Other varieties. like the Prussian Blue and Marrowfat will sell at a. higher price per bu‘shel.â€"â€"â€"Prof. Robertson. Our best policy is to exalt and make the most of our opportunities, and to minimize and remove the obstacles and (lfiiculties which we find in our way. I have address- ed meetings of farmers in Vermont and New York, and have found them no more com- fortable and fully more disheartened than the farmers of Ontario. Most men are easily discouragedâ€"farmers particularly so. Their environment is rather limited; the nature of their work prevents them from enjoying' general and frequent contact with men of other eallings. They are ready to believe in a melancholy tale of their wrongs. Since the time when the serpent made Eve discontented with Eden, by his crafty pre- sentation of its unendurahle restrictions, the wily temptations of “professional per- <onagos” have been the bane of the medal- nus ugrionlturists. Be of good cheer ; welcome the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and ye shall over- mne and vanquish every oppression andl de- pression that alfiicts your business. It is British vs. United States ”Markets, Barley, Oats and Pens. .ardly fair to assume and then to assert, :iat “the best of our people” are forsaking mr land, or are being forced out of it, by in purely fiscal enactments of this country . my ()1 imr (,'Ollllil'}'.

Many attrac- tions are influencing the people on this con- tinent. to mass themselves on its central belt. Among these may be namedâ€"humi- dity and moderation in climate, great min- eral deposits, and agricultural resources that may be realized upon with the least exertion. Notwithstanding all these considerations, the northern bracing climate, develops a life with abounding enâ€" ergy for the harder tasks, which bring out the best manhood in the race. No, gentle- men, the best have not all gone south, you and I are still here. We have opportunities for a. good market in England for most things. We could have a better market close to us for some things, if the people of the United States were only wise enough to accept our advice in the administration of their own affairs. The United States ap- parently do not want to buy some of our products. If England does, I would send them there; and if, after a. while, the States want them at hi her prices which will leave us more pro t, I would send them there, and bear no grudgeâ€"Prof. Robertson. Hints to Letter Writers, 1 A few simple rules should be borne in mind for guidance, whether in a. letter or a. ; note. In the first place, there is the man- ‘ ner of edtlress. Begin any note or letter to an acquaintance, or a person to whom you write for s favor, an infinity, en auto- grap, etc... “Deer, etc, etc. ’ The “deer” is a. mere matter of social form, as meaning- less as my commonplace society phrase, but by the best authorities as cor- rect. ‘ writing an order to e. workmen who is to be employed, or if answering a note or letter addressed in the third person, use that for-mule, Le, “Kiss (or 11:13.)»â€" would like AB. to come here at 9 e..m. and attend to the oerpentefing needed,” or “Mrs. A. is in receipt of Mr. B.’s note of the 16th, and she regrets she is unable to give him the information éesi .” It is inelegant to begin my letter ‘Triend, etc," although adopted by many well-educated people. The “dear,” etc., in such a case should be used. More mistakes, however, are made in signatures, and here I would also suggest a. few simple rules. Never sign your name with a prefix of any kind. The reason is obvious. If you sign your letter, "Yours truly, Miss Mary Smit ” for example, you make use of a title, the “Miss” having nothing whatever to do with your name, which is your signature. Therefore eti- quette re uires you shouldsig‘h as, for ex- ample, “ ours truly, Mary Smith.” In the event 01 writing to any firm or person who would in return need to know how to address you put “Mrs.” or “Miss” in brackets a. little distance to the left of the signature. In addressing a gentleman on business in a purely formal manner write thus, “Charles J. Brown, Esquire. Dear sir.” And in such case always sign, “Yours respectfully, etc, etc.” In writing letters to your friends or acquaintances, make what you say not only wortg reading but as free as possible from all. airectation? Say very little about the afl'airs of others, and be guarded in what you write of your own private concerns; but 3. art from this do not pick and choose wor 5, nor feel obliged to consider how each sentence shall be “rounded.” Your letters will, in case you are constantly considering your mode of ex- pression, be dull and stupid and not worth their postage. \Vrite to your friends as you would talk to them. In the last century letter-writing was a. fine art, and as a. result we have the most charming and perfect picture of the times. Horace Walpole, _Lady Mary ‘Vortley Mon- tagu, Madame d’Arblay are only three among a hundred famous letter writers of that day, when to send a letter some dis- tance cost some shillings, and therefore all “the news,” as well as the social and do- mestic events, was chronicled. Nowadays people seem to have no time for real corres- pondence, which should be in every house- hold and family one of the most interesting elements. A postal card or a. brief note seems to suffice for the most important oc- casion, and the increased postal facilities make this sort of “despatch” business easier. And here it may he said that you should never write aletter to a. friend or a stranger on a postal card. \Vhen you notify the iceman that your mother will need an extra quantity of ice on the morrow, or the coal-dealer that the cellar needs refilling, you may use a postal card, for this is a con- venience to the iccman and coal-dealer ; but avoid postal cards for anything but the very simplest and least private of mes- sagesâ€"Harper’s Young People. Labor and “’ages in London. The trade-unionist operatives of London belonging to such guilds of artisans as the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, the Carpenters and Joiners, the Bricklayers, are the aristocracy of labor, better off, on the whole, than the other workmen of Europe; as well off as the best of those working in the United States or Canada, inferior in their social position among the workmen of the world only to those of the Australian colonies. The problems which we cannot solve in London concern the un- skilled laborers and the women workers, for even skilled or half-skilled women are ground down by competition to wretch- ed wage. There are skilled needle- women employed on “ ancy” apron-making paid 2s. 6d. for twelve dozen, able to make four dozen in a day by good work. The match-box makers receive Qid. for 144 boxes, they finding the tow and paste, and fuel for the drying that is needed in damp weather. They work hard for twelve to fourteen hours daily, and their earnings average Gs. to 7s. a week. Sack-making, tobacco-sorting, paperbag-making, book- folding, rag-sorting, are on the average no better paid, and there are in London, in these and similar employments and in con- fectionery factories, vast numbers of women earning but from 10d. to ls. a day, although they have to display some skill.â€"Harper’s \Veekly. The human stomach possesses most won- derful powers of adaptation to circum- stances. When Lieut. Bligh and his eight- teen men were cast off from the Bounty by the mutineers in an open boat, they subsisted for forty-one days on a. daily allowance of one-twenty-fifth of a. pound of Biscuit per man and quarter of a pint of Man’s Wonderful Stomach. water. Dr. Tanner .in 1880 fastéd for forty days, subsisting, it is said, on water alone, and Succi and other fasting men have since excelled this. Kafiirs, North American Indians, and the “fat boy” in “Pickwick” may well be quoted as fearful examples of voracity; but even their gas- tronomic feats are exceeded by the full- grown Esquimaux, who will daily eat twenty pounds of flesh and oil if he has the chance ; while on the authority of Admiral Saritchefi’, a. Yacut of Siberia has been known to consume in twenty-four hours “the hind quarter of a large ox, twenty pounds of fat, and a. qutntity of melted butter for his drink 2” The Present Form of Government in Eng- land a Curious Compound, The English people have never con- sciously adopted a. democratic form of gov- ernment. The form of democracy which they now have has been generated by many forces, some of which have been operating for ages. It is difficult to see how the English constitution could be reduced to definite legal form and adopted, in the American sense, without at the same time giving rise to a multitude of restrictions upon the officers of the government. Certainly there is no reason to believe that the English people or any other people would have deliberately adopted the un- restrained democracy whio’h they now en- joy. The question naturally occurs to the Political Science Quarterly, how then did they come to have such a government? Without attempting to give a complete answer to this question, important light may be thrown upon it by noticing the contributions to this end which have been made and are now being made by the crown. It is chiefly owing to the Foodier position of the crown that the Eng ish constitution has not been committed to writing: that it hasbeonleftuobodyo! customs and in- definite understandings. According to the fauna of English law the entire overnment is built up around the throne. e monarch is the source of law. The podiament is the king's high oonrt for legis‘lntion.

The king enjoins the ap- pointment of the four-end-twenty barons, and directs them to make war upon him and compel him to obey the charter; and the king is even made to say that in case some of his supiiects would not of their own accord jafii the arons in making war upon him he would order them to do so. This passage in Magna Charts. may serve to il« lustrate the absurdities which would appear in English law Me understandings of the constitution should be redhead to mom form and enacted into law. The makers of Magna Charts. lived long before the mofe refined method of amending the English constitution had been pei-fébtét‘ The modern way is either to traverse the forms of law by an understanding, or, if the form is made void by actual law which the courts enforce, to take care that an appear- ance of consistency is secured. I do not in- tend to hold that the crown has been an active force in securing the unwritten character of the constitution, but simply that the forms of law, the unwritten consti- tution and the unrestrained democracy are correlated facts. The Man Was Not Murdered But Wu Killed By the Cars. NIAGARA FALLS, Oct. 19.â€"Regarding the finding of John Anderson’s body on the railway track, it has become known that he boarded a train gaing west from here shortly after midnight, but as he was on the wrong train the conductor put him 03 just outside of the freight yards with two negroes, who had no money. It is thought Anderson was intoxicated and continued to walk ahead on the track when he was met by the east-bound train about 3 o'clock and run over. The accident was not discovered at the time, however, but when the train reached here blood was seen spattered over the bottom of the cars. As the ash pan under the engine was being cleaned out at the roundhouse his pocket book and part of his watch were found in it. Later on one of the man’s legs was found near this end of the Suspension Bridge in a hole. It had probably been carried here by the engine and dropped near the track and afterwards dragged to the hole by a. dog. It was first feared that Anderson might have met with foul play at the hands of the negroes, but they were seen fully 15 minutes before Anderson met the train go- ing in another direction. Excepting the face and head, the body was torn to pieces and strewn along the track. Undertaker Morse took charge of the remains, but does not deem it necessary to hold an inquest. Anderson carried a $1000 policy with the Chosen Friends of Stony Creek, a. place near Hamilton. He had two tickets from Hamilton to Bufialo and $2.65 in money. His relatives in Cleveland have been noti- fled. The Villain Exposedâ€"Gauamâ€"There’s a. married man paying marked attention to Mrs. Bloobumper.
