Would the one bushel pur- phased; by the brewers out of every eighteen produced, rule the barley market? The brewers say yes ! And it is the first instance on record of the {ail wagging the dog. 0f the 8.407.- 031 bushels that remain in the Prov- ince, probably 1,135,754‘ bushels was used for seed; the remaining 7,561,287 1 was used for feeding purpOSeS.

The fallacy of that; ”line of argument has only to be care- ' :fiully examined to be condemned. According t9 the statistics of .Ontario, ‘10 zaised in 1883, 18,414,337 bushels of. barley, and of that amount we ex- fported 9,917,316 bushels ;~ the balance «of the eighteon million bushels remain tagee to. our citizen; of the park.

The day may not: be at hand but it is nevertheless surely approaching, A legislative union of. the two countries would be practically impossible; but the com" munity of commercial interests, the growing unison of political sentiment. and thepowerful influences of similarity of speech and literature will some day when the enabling generous impluses of the two peolile overpower the dis» cordsut notes of the demngogues or the bitterness bequeathed by the troubles of the past compel them to creates great defensive alliance of the English speaking people throughout the globe. Suchau alliance would not be a menace to the remainder of the World, but a 1 guarantee of peace. The interests of a commerciallcountry are adyo-rse to the pursuits of war, and the growing; inâ€" fluence of higher conceptions of man's duty to man, would assist in protect» ing those interests by resorting to the arbitramcnt of calm and impartial men, and not to that of rash, headstrong soldiers. it may be argued that though l England is a commercial country, yet she has shown an unfortunate tac~ THE following remarks which we copy from our able cotem the Monetary Times we commend to all farmers and those interested. We would especially call attention to the opinion given in the matter of price prospects. We have always contended that an early market- ing of grain is the safest and most profitable to the farmer in the end and this year especially will it be so. Never before have prices been so low in Europe as at present and in wheat, Monday’s report gives the market quotations at Liverpool as the lowest of the century, Every indication points to a vast crop in all producing countries and if our farmers wait till the great bulk is thrown on the market they must content themselves with the veryllow prices which will certainly prevail. The Times says :â€"-“The good harvest is in every one’s mouth ; bright spirits, brisker business, better times, are. freely predicted in conse- quence. Let us hope that all these wxll come ; some of them have come already. But business men may do something to help them. The country merchant for example, should bestir himself to get his accounts col» lected. The farmer on his part should hasten to market his grain and hay in order that he may get out of the shop- keeper’s debt, or pay up any arrears to the Loan Society. If any farmer takes to holding grain hack, speculating on higher prices, he is likely to be deceiv- ed ; for with good crops all over Am~ erica and no serious shortage elsewhere, prices cannot raise, though they may fall. We know that Some wholesale . houses are determined to push vigor- ously for payment this autumn of hills which may be due. And if the retail dealer do not in turn press for payment of his accounts, so much the harder will it go for him. It is not the far~ mer alone who owes the shopkeeper. The mechanic, the factory-hand, as well as the drone in the hive, all need “drumming" more or less. There is a large aggregate of indebtedness bet ween the classes we have named that might be liquidated or greatly reduced by a systematic effort. We trust it will at once be made. oâ€"mA_.â€".-A_ Tm; Rev. Joseph Cook, the well knoivn divine in an article on Angol- American political alliance contributed Tn: expedition which is being form- ed to relieve Chinese Gordon from Khartoum, it is stated will cost £8,000, 000, \Ve do not wonder at the,hesit~ ancy of the government to incur such an enormous outlay when the' circumu stances of the case are considered. Gordon got into his present extremity through his own rashness and against the orders of the government. Eng~ lish sentiment, however, will not permit so brave a general to perish without an attempt being made to assist him from danger, hence the pressure which has induced the expedi- tion. The government will equip 8,000 British troops, 2,500 Egyptians and 950 river boats, manned by 500 Can- adians, 300 Vroomen and 2,000 Egyptu inns and N ubians.

A few evenings ago John Buy, an old hunter of this place, uent eight or nine miles north of Kirkfield, to shoot some beers which were committing great havoc in that neighbourhood. He secured one and wound- ed three (others. One of these Mr. lay states stood over six feet high when in sitting posture. The place where he came in contact with them was at the edge of a dense swamp and although wounding them severely they succeeded in crawling into the bush. John has had too much experience in hunting to go poking among bushes for wounded bears“ GENTS,â€"aning brought one of your “Little Brnntford" Binders for the season of 1884. I feel it my duty to let my fellow farmers know what I think of it. In eVery respect it has worked‘to my entire satisfac- tion. Ihnve out about 90 acres of the different kinds of grain and a great deal of which was badly lodged. It did its work well. “'0 have used two horses most of the time. Have had no breaks or any trouble. Farmer’s who intend buying a Binder for 1885 cannot do better then buv a “Brantford” from Mr. \Vm. Cameron. the company’s agent, as I fully believe it to be the best made machine in Canada. I am sure it is far more durable than a self-rake machine. Wu. CAmsmw, Agent Hurris, Son A: 00., Inmere Take Notice. [Advertisement] Knowing that so much has been said about the Whitby trial of Binders by many unscrupulous agents, Messrs. A. Harris Son’s have authorized me to make known the following facts zâ€"They with the other manufacturers of Binders signed an agree- ment not to attend any contests of Binders, but it appears the contest at Whitby was arranged and to which some of the others went. The “Little Brantford” did not compete, the company not allowing it after having signed gthe agreement not to do so. It has since been circulated through the Press and otherwise, for reasons better known to themselves that the “Brantford” Binder competed and was not successful, which is a misstatmbnt and 'far from the facts. The public should know that the "Brantford" Company manufacture twice the number of Binders made by any other firm in Canada, and this Season. so keen ‘ was the demand for this machine that early in the season'their immense supply was exhausted, while other firms have still on hand a supply either unsold or returned. That the “Brantferd” Binder has fully satisfied its purchasers. we quote from Mr. Donald Grant. one of ‘M nriposa's best known farmers. and whose testimonial is but one of many stating the same; NORTH MAmroaA, Aug 26th, 18%, A.

The extensiolx of the tranâ€" chiee to the masses of the people, who pay the bulk of taxation, and suffer the most in orphaned children or widowed wives by war, will make the nation more cautious in the future thun inthe'paet. The great warlike coun- tries of Europe today are those whose people enjoy the least measure of popular liberty, and whose commercial advancement is handicapped by the enormous tax imposed upon all inu duatriea by the maintenance of large bodies of armed men, who consume much, but produce nothing.
