The Patrons show their wisdom in not making their coâ€"operative store system the sheet anchor of the society. As one of their officers pointed out the other day, it is not the country store keeper who is gatting rich at their expense. He is [very often as hard worked and as hard pressed as the farmer ; and in the long run our people will find the natural laws of competition, supply and demand to be better distributors than any socialistic device, large or small. The field in which any organized effort to help the farmersâ€"in this time at leastâ€"must «lo its best work, is that of politics. Some Ministerial journals are very fond of advising them these times to build good roads, to try many improvâ€" ed kinds of farming, to paint their ences and to stop keeping dogs. But And this argument works just as well the other way round. If the farmers are not prosperous, there is no one to buy the out put of the factories, and, as a consequence, city life is parâ€" alysed. "Trade and Get Rich" is an oldâ€"saying ; but if the means of trade are dried up at the sourceâ€"the ability to purchaseâ€"it may well be read "hagâ€" gle and get poor." No one is particuâ€" larly astounded that manufacturers do not flock to the Government during the present tariff enquiry, and demand a reduction of the duties. But if they were far sighted, they might well do so; for an impoverished consuming class will very soon begin to stop their looms and silence their forging hamâ€" mers, one by one, Overtaxation of their constituency will be as fatal to them as underâ€"protection of their proâ€" duct. will fight the battle of the consumers as a whole. It is in the interest of every man who purchases clothing, furniture, cutlery, wall paper, tools, or any of the ordinary necessities of life, that the cost of them be lowered, proâ€" vided this is done without cutting off his own means of livelihood. Let tariff reduction stop short of the point at which it would ruin the industry from which any given machine gains his living, and it is all in his favor even on the very article he is engaged in manuâ€" facturing ; for his wages are generally fixed, not by the wealth of his employâ€" ers, but by the international competiâ€" tion in his line of labor. The farmers can only menace the great mass of townspeople in the course of their agiâ€" tation by insanely refusing to allow the necessary revenue of the country to be collected on a system that, at the same time, protects the industries of the people ; and, should they do this, the greater damage would recoil upon themâ€" selves, for, with the decimation of the towns and cities, their own best marâ€" ket would disappear. tax others more, but siniply to pay less taxes themselves. Then the farmers are the great consuming class of the country, so far as manufactured goods are concerned ; aud, if wisely led, they Though the movement is exclusively a farmers‘ rising, there is no reason why the rest of the community should view it with anything but. friendly feelings. At the outset, it must be remembered that the farmers are not asking for an increase of duties. It is not the object of their movement to increase the price of the food of the people, or, in any other way, to raise the cost of living. They desite, not to On the testimony of the. leaders. . of the Canadian _ farmers‘_ movement, which has taken formâ€"under the title "Patrons of Industcy," it is learnâ€" ed that the objects of the Association are almost wholly political. The coâ€" operative storeâ€"keeping system, which has attracted so much hostile criticism, is regarded by the Patronsâ€"at least in their public utterancesâ€"as a purely secondary matter, the adoption of which is wholly optional with the members. The pledge of political inâ€" dependence, however, hangs by no means at so lax a tension. It is put forth as the real ratson detre of the organization ; and the country is given to understand that the Patrons will feel that they have failed of their purâ€" pose if they do not succeed in making the "farmer vote" a keenly felt factor in national politics. At present it is their belief that the tariff taxes them inordinately ; and it would be very hard to persuade them to the contrary when they have so many flagrant cases of special class taxation ready at their hand by way of proof. ‘ Noticeâ€"J.

The orâ€" der will not go into effect until Sunday, May 21st. The buildings will all reâ€" main closed as agreed with Congress, but visitors will be admitted to all parts of the grounds and view everything outside of the buildings. Though the failure involves a large liability it will not affect local business interests outside of the banks to any extent. Three local banks, however, are interested to the extent of about $400,000 The Molsons bank holds probably $250,000 of business paper, endorsed by the Ontario coal company, the Ontario bank about $100,000 and the Traders‘ bank about $20,000. These banks. do not admit holding such amounts, but the figures given will probably be found to be not far from the mark. The liabilities, direct and indirect, will fall little short of $1,000,000, and the World learns that the estate when wound up is likely to pay a very small dividend, probably not more than 10 cents on the dollar.

Twelve thousand six hundred and vighty two persons bought admission tickets at the World‘s fair grounds yesterday. It is estimated that 5000 bought tickets at the down town offices. One of the attractions at the opening todry was the sight of the electric fountains on each side of the Mucmonies, fountain in front of the administration building, emitting. water from thouâ€" sands of jets high in the air. The Macmonies, which as has already been displayed, was also set to playing and they attracted large crowds all day. The Fountains and IJuminations. Chicago, May 12.â€"Lmst night was the first time there has been »nything like a general illumination, and alâ€" though a tithe of the electric Inmps were lit, the result was diuzzling ana bewildering. The beautiful gold dome of the administration building was surmounted by over 3,500 incandescent lights, and opposite, on the peristyle connecting the Casino and the Music hall, were some 2,000 more, while all the other great buildings surrounding the grand lagoon fairly blazed with lights. Then the large search lights on the tops of the Agricultural and Manâ€" uf»cturers‘ buildings and the Music lall, said to be of five million candle power each, are turned on, and the rays change color again and ngain till the crowd fairly yell with delight. It is as light as day, and every detail of the huge statues which encirele the lagoon is plainly to be distinguished. * The gondoliers in brilliant suits ply hither and thither in their. oddly shaped craft, mingling their songs with the music of the band, the electric launches flash through the water, and the scene altoâ€" gether is one which will long linger in the memory. THE WORLD‘S FAIR AT NIGHT the smell of the herring is plain to all. They are exceedingly anxious that the farmer shall not make it awkward for their party by demanding lower taxaâ€" tion and better foreign trade facilities at the hands of Parliament. _ It would be politically safe for them to send out a royal commission to investigate the great question as to whether or not the cow should be milked at the right side or the left ; and there is no doubt that a couple of lawyers, a brace of politicians and a political farmer could collect some very valuable hints for the farmers‘ wives on this point. But when. the farmer wakes up to the necesâ€" sity of real reform of the tariff, they see political peril in the demand, and begin, with one consent, to try and attract his attention to something else. But the steady growth of such purely political movements as the Patrons . of Industry show that they have not been drawn off the scent as yet by even the most malodorous herring ; and they have but to push ahead to win not only the willing ear of the touring Ministers, but the ready obedience of Parliament, _ This country. is always ruled by that vote which is best orâ€" ganized and which knows best what it wants.
