In Canade,where the farms are uot very large, aud where meekapieal appliauces for the saving of labor, sugh as the Meadow Lark Mower and the Royee Reaper, are in use, the work of barvesting is carried on with expedition and comparative ease. But in the Western States where Gelds of wheat contain from 2,000 to 5,000 aeres the work of handling the crops is very laborious and 1s attended with greatrisk and apsisty to the husbandman if the weather is unsetâ€" fted.

P., Recieverâ€"General in the Pacific Scandal Ministry of 1873, has been appointed to the vacant office. Thus ends the political tragedy which has been played at tho ancient capital and which bas engrossed so much public attention for any months. M. Letellier retires with the consciousness of having done his duty to his conntry to the best of his ability, and of having foiled one of the most flagâ€" rant outrages which has ever boen attemtâ€" ed against the privileges or a free people. No one questions the right of theLeutâ€"Gov aot to dismiss his advisers, and the expcâ€" diency of chat step was conclusively setiled at the polls by the people of Quebec, who lone were affected by the questions in disâ€" pute. â€" Still further, whon the matter was brought np in the Parliament of Conv‘, fhom wlich M. Letellier recievcd his apâ€" pointment, his action in dismissing t e De Boucherville Cabinet was sustained. Surely this was enough. But no, the reâ€" sult of the elections en the 17th of Septemâ€" ber gave frosh conrage to the discomftted Tory faction. A motion was brought up onse more in the House of Commons, dur ing the last session denouncing the dismisâ€" eal of M, Letellier. This was of course carried fby _ the Conservative majoriâ€" ty.

Governor‘s administration was sustained at the polls on two successive cccasions. Such conduct on the part of Sir John Macâ€" donald and his Cabinet brings us buck to the days ef Strofford and Thomas Cromâ€" well.

Some suppose that this will end the war; but as Cetewayo has retreated to his fastnesses among the monniaius it does not seem likely that he will yet be disposâ€" ad to throw down his arms.

They reopen the Letollier case and because Letellier disâ€" missed a corrupt anl most extravagant Government therefore they pronounce that Lotellier‘s usefuiness is gone. So, electors of Ontario, you can easily see what direcâ€" tion the remarkable financial abilitiee of your representatives take. Please make a memorandum of it and when any of these financial geniuses of the present dominant party of the Dominion come before yon to hide themselves under an exhibition of talk jnst ask them why they did not put it in this way and say $ling Letellior‘s usefuiness to corrupt practices is gons, That is the true meaning and contains in something less than a nutsbhell the whole gist of the bitter opposition he has encountered. The battle will have first to be fought in the Province of Quebec. But whatever the sult there the matter must be one of chief questions at our next Dominim elecâ€" tions. The Constitational questions inâ€" volyed lie at the root of our Provincial autonomy and affects our whole Federal system. Itis for all who have the interâ€" ests of the country at heart, without regard to par.y to consider well the questions inâ€" volvad and we shall from time to time refer to the mattor and view with interest the people of Quebes vindicating themselvos and their late Lieut.â€"Governor. _ _ The Governorâ€"General will arrive in §# John, N.

He will be accompasied by the Princess Lovise cdom if evrer seen, and evon the reaping machines so useful among ourselves havre been discarded fer selfâ€"b‘nders and harvestâ€" ors. The eelfâ€"binder cnts the grain in the usunal way ard binds it into sheaves Then comes the harvester" wheih is a more powerful machine and does more work in a given time. It is drawn by three horses aund is provided with a platform on which the men who attend the machine stand and bind the grain as it is delivered to t:em by an elevator. But as the harvest progresses and the straw gets dryer and more brittle the Linders and barvesters give place to the Header, which simply cuts the heads of the wheat, leaving the etraw ctanding in the fields to be destroyed by fire when the harâ€" vost is over. It is said to bethe cherpest as it cortainly is the most expeditions way of cutting wheat. As soon as the harvest is lir:n thrashing begins and the wheat is sent to the market. In the harvest fields of the West the work is very arduous under the great heat and the long hours, which cxâ€" tend from sunrise to sunset, according to l the London Free Press to which weare inâ€" |d<-btcd for the above facts, there being freâ€" quent cases of sunstroke from these causes. A great doal of the work is done by the wheat harvest tramps, who starting from Texas, follow the ripening grain northward }t‘;:ruu;:h Kansas, Nebraska, Dakota, Minâ€" uesota and the Red River ‘Territory, until the barvest fields are all baro. In these Western States the harvest is well advancâ€" ed and promises better than was expoctal i a short itime ago. In our own county harvesting is now very general. Fall wheat is au excellont crop both as regards quanâ€" i tity and quality, and as the weather is very avorable it will in all probablility be housâ€" ed in good order.

"My good friend," says he, "I do not swear as a bishop ; I swear as a man." So it may be, the head of our political pyramid acts not as the Marquis of Lorue would do but as the Governorâ€"Goneral can. But it is no pait of our purpose or duty cither to attack or defend the Gov.â€"General‘s part in tiis matter, He may have lost a grand opporâ€" tunity of nobly vindieating the rights ofthe people. Ifhe has doue so it only adds to the greatness of the opportunity which the people now have to vindicate constitutionâ€" al practice by energetic constitutional action. We mucl: mistake if the ultimate recult will be at all bene icial to theCounserâ€" vative party. By the dismissal of M.

To square his duty to his conâ€" viections is the special business of the Marâ€" quis. â€" His homologating his Minister‘s adâ€" vice however does not in the smallest degree affect the constitutional aspect of the question involved. Neither is it a neâ€" cessary inforence to draw that because the Governorâ€"General, as such has acted on Lis Cubinet‘s advice, that thersfore the Marâ€" quis of Lorue endorses that action.

PROTECTION IN THE UNITED | STATES. es ‘The rapid development of trade in thp neighboring Republic during tha first year of Protection is often pointed to by the adâ€" vocates of the National Policy as an arguâ€" meut for the introduction of Protection iuto Canada ; and as often it has been shown by Free Traders that the success of that policy in the United States for a few years was duc to the existonce of oondifionsf which have no place in Canada,. The Reâ€" public is rich in natural resources, possessâ€" es coal and ircn in abundance and in close proximity to one another, has as yot an unlimited extent of fertile land capable of yielding every variety of produce, and a large population which affords a ready market for the productions of her industry, while at the samd tims the ¢5urse of trade Letween the different States of tno Union is perfectly unrestricted. Tho correctness o! these views recieve additional confirmâ€" ation from anfrdependort witness 1t the anpual meeting of the Cobden Clab recentâ€" ly beld in London, England, "In response t> the toast of "Our Guests," among othets Mr. Horace White said:â€"â€""Mr, Chairman and gentlemon, I am freqnontly asked why Froeâ€"trade makes so little beadway in the \ United States, The truo answor I concieve to be thisâ€"that we have never been made to feel, as you wore onee mado to feel, the i the real angnish of protective legislation. (Hear, hear.) We have had no hungry } millions thundering at the doors of the Legislature, like your famous Antiâ€"Cornâ€" Law League. (Cheers.) Our country is too large, too thinly populated persquare mile, too full of nataral resources to feel sensibly und neutely the effects of bad fiseal legisâ€" lation, and I had almost said, of bad logisâ€" lation of any kind. Covering nearly 60 degrees of longitude and 25 of latitude, and embracing an endless variety of produc: tions, it does enjoy freedom of trade over a greater area perhaps than can be found elsewhere in the world. Fortanately the Constitation prohibits the States from levying duties upon projucts entering them from other States. But for this proâ€" hibition I make no donbt we suould have had as many iuternatiofal taviffs as Gerâ€" many was afficted with before the Zolver» ein, and far more than England is afficted with now at the hands of her own eolonies. So long as we tax wool to the extent of 70 per cent., as we do in some varietios, we skell never be competitors of yours in the world‘s markets for woollen goods, nor shall we exclude you from our markets. So long as we protect copper and pigâ€"iron and chemicals and dyestufls, and the wholo range of raw materials, we leave you the uadisputed masters of the world‘s comâ€" merce. Protection, I say, is enacted to prevent somebedy from getting something as cheaply as he mightâ€"(loud cheers)â€" and if :t fails of that it fuils of its end. Now I don‘t say that Great Britain would not repp 2ly@itege« from our abandenzicnt of protective duties, but 1 do say that when we abandon protective duties greal Britain must meet her first serious competitor and important rival as a manufucturing power, and not before. Depend upon it, the hand that strikes down protection in the United States, lifts up a great rival to England as a mavafacturing and commercial Powerâ€" a geverousand friendly rival I hope, a forâ€" midable one I am sure." If Mr. White had included among the causes assigned for the little progress made by the doetrines of Free Trade in the United States, the exâ€" istence of powerful rings of manufacturers and speculators, who not only eontrol the industries themselves and tho home marâ€" kets which they supply, but the legislatures by which they are all governed, his auswer would have been complete.

The prosâ€" pect of this kind of transport being stiil furâ€" ther faeilitated has lately been wonderfuily incveased. A project is in contemplation for making a ship canal between Lake Huron and Lake Ontario. If this eanal were available, the saving in the dist.nce veiween Chicago and Liverpgo!,$ compared with theâ€"route through the Erio Canal, would be 834 miles; the saving, as comâ€" pared with tha route through the Welland Canal, would be 320 miles; whilo the esâ€" tirsated reduction in the cost of carrying freight would be..about, three: dollars per ton."
