Outs will yield fairly well and so will peas, but they are very small. This is not a bar- ley district and so little of it was sown that its success or failure was not a mat- ter of very much importance, but a good many farmers sowed» considerable rye. and as .it will grow almost anywhere under almost any conditions and we 2 Straw an Fepelon Falls. 1 res, young a Stock 01 the Latest Fashions in bility is that it will turn out fairly well. This year buckwheat was planted much more extensively than heretofore, and early in the season it looked so thrifty that a very large yield was predicted, but later on the grasshoppers “ went for it,” and, it is said, left but little for the owners of the fields on.,w.hich it was growing. Potatoes, as well as buck- wheat, have been greatly injured by the hoppers as well as by their natural ene- mics, the Colorado beetles, and the growth of all kinds of roots and vege- tables has lately been retarded by the want of rain. Taking the poorness of the cropsi'nto consideration, it is no wonder that. the farmers as a class are depressed in spirits 10nS 1n (1 Ladies’ Underwear, to the Lad Mus. R.

They cannot, by tak ing thought, control the weather or add a. bushel to the product of a field; but they can, if they will, do away with the greater part of the indirect taxation that does more to keep them poor than unpropitious seasons and insect foes.

Thoy,do not. make a ,pyescntof. it to us; they dolnot'send" it on credit, andjwe certainly do not send them gold for it. ,Then what. do they take? Why, goods;gocds that we have produced in CanadaL-grain, lumber, fish and menu-- lactnresjof certain kindsâ€"goods to the value of 3200,000,-all the result of. Can- adian labor. Suppose, instead of. im- porting the $200;000 worth ofbcef, ,wc producelitin Canada, what happens? Not an increase of $200,000 in the pro- ductions ofiC‘anada- but simply the div~ ersion of the‘lahor for the production of goods sent in exchange loathe beef, to the direct production of the beef here, forit is apparent. on its face that, if we do not take the $200,000 ,worth ofbeef from the Americans they will 'not re- ceive from us the $21l0.000 worth of produce we have been in the habit of sendian them for. the beef, Now, the reason .tl;att.-wo..have bought the Ameri- can bcef is that they produce it cheaper than we1 can here, or. than we can buy it from any other. source, and the. reason they. have taken our goo-ls is that they have found those . particular articles we have sent them for the beef cheaper than they can get them anywhere else. Imagine a government. trying to upset or overcome the physical law that. “ Mo- tion seeks the line of least resistance.” Yet we Canadians .think ;nothing ofa government tl)9.t,.triss to overcome the counterpart of the law in economics that trade follows the, line, ofi,le,ast resistance, which is that,-untrammelled, we buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market. “ I cannot see that Canada: would be any better of producing $200,000 worth of beef than in producing that value. in. other articles . which we new export to the United .Statcs in..cxchango for the beef, and which forms. part of the 355.0,- 000,000 worth which we annually ship to that country. We cannot have our cake and eat, it, and we cannot stop im- porting without also stopping exporting, and it seems to me even in the eyes of the protectionist the last condition would be worse than the first.” Wm ‘ The Swing Bridge. _ Dnnmmr-M-r.

The work will prob- tion this fall. If they come off it will ably take at least six weeks; but if a. f I On Friday last the first consignment _ of the superstructure (consisting of‘two girders) of the new bridge arrived at the Falls, and a couple of hours later one oi them had been got into place and how extends from the abutment on the south side of thcriver to the centre of the first plot. The other girder, a-m-nch lighter, because much shorter, one was brought‘across the- river and will lie aside for some little; time, as. neither. ,the abutment; nor the piern-on-rwhich it is to rest has yet. been commenced. The masons are now working at the third pier from the south side of the south side of the river, and“ as soon-as 'it is finished two more girders will arrive. To look atthcse immense masses ofiron, anybody would naturallythink it would be a tremendous job to transfer them from the cars to the piers and abutments, but the men sent with them understand their work and handle them with sur- prising case. The girders will be all the same width and will of courscbe flush with each other at the top; but the longer they are the deeper and heavier they are, and will not all match at the bottom, which, however, is of no consequence except as far as looks are concerned. The. two girders already hero were in stock. The shorter, 28 feet long, was made at Toronto; the other, 43 feet long, was made in England. The others are being made. at L-ichinc, and it is expected thattwo of them will be here in about a fortnight. _..__._ L____~...
