United States. have `been advised in _a secret circular tocombine to with hold this year's crops from the American market until higher prices are paid. This may or may not be true, but there is a won- drous absurdity in the cases of farmers who have so often protested against com-.. blues of all sorts to form _ a gigantic ring to control the price of the staff of life. The. thing is impracticable. Combines have a limit and need` concentrated capi- tal. Sucha combine as six million far-mers,is too large and the capital needed would swamp a billionaire ring.

In . England there are_ two kinds of primary schools, namely, voluntary, or those `sup- ported and `controlled by one or other of the religious denominations and board schools which are` under the care of . the Government. Both kinds are considered by the new law and a fee of about $2 45 per scholar for all pllplll from ve to fourteen years of age being given toeach. This grant essentially relieves the sup- porters of voluntary schools from the burden of fee paying. They will only have to raise the sum of one and a half million ` dollars instead of nine and a half millions which they had to-`raise before the new ; enactment. This pretty nearly realizes free education to the working classes. { The question to be dealt with was one of exceeding diiculty and delicacy. The J voluntary schools which `contain about 1 _ . ll... ._._'n:-_ , I The nature of the `work done at these" I farms is fully set forth in the report of Minister of Agriculture and in the bul- letins issued every now and then through the year. In the `distribution of -seed grain, tests of grain and roots, experi- ments with fertilizers, testing the vitality ' of seed grain, and a, hundred other mat- '_ ters in the interest of :0anada s great industry "these farms. are doing a great i and important work." That the farmers set a proper value on the work of these farms is shown by the number of letters they` write `asking for "information {and the samples of seeds they send for testing 7 their vitality. The 13th Bulletin, issued a few days ago, contains some -interest- a lug gures on that and kindred subjects. The farmers of Canada `are under _d.ep obligations to the Government for the way they are being beneted. It is doubtful if there is another class of people in the country whose material interests have been more carefully looked after than the farming class and no class that has less reason to complain.

V- v-our gnuunnu AV\IUlEU' ed British Empire, is sufficient to re the imagination and create'a desire for its accomplishment, but no one presumed to to lay down a practical basis on wlifch the idea could be realized. Rev. Principal Grant, has. with wonderful eloquence, showed the great advantages that would result to all parts of the empire,but neither he nor anybody else would come down to the practical and show how it was to be done ; that has been left for Sir Charles Tupper. Lord Salisbury himself was somewhat wearied with the idea only being constantly brought to his notice and it was his demand for some practical plan b that called the (zanadian Commissioner from the realmsidof the ideal to the prac- tical. It is impossible with the meagre outline of Sir Charles Tupper s scheme that we have seen, to be able to form an accurate judgment of itsfeasibility or its value.
