Law Horeb cuts Aro inserted they must be to. Not mounted on old country but there can to no certainty about the fluctuations of exports from India Nee the severe drop in the of wheat the opinion of the Tribune indication that the Indian wheat grower will turn his hand to something else than growing wheat to be sold to Tho English for Leas than Ita coat. In 1803, when the exported surplus of in Dian wheat sold for a in Tho three months ending june 30th, ont abroad in Tho corresponding period of the Proi ont year the Price having fallen to 93 cents the exports were hundredweight. The enormous falling off the agricultural department of India says was due solely to the lower prices. The stocks of Whent in India Are officially stated to to Large and if Tho Root finds that he cannot sell his wheat to will certainly Stop raising it. Trio Tribune Troat contemptuously those Eastern newspapers which Havo Crown excited Over its advice to Farmers not to sell their wheat at present prices and to raise so much of it another year. It agrees with those journals is to value of cheap food but not think that wheat sold for less than its Cost of production is cheap food. To sell for 50 or co cants it says what it Cost 05 to 75 to raise will use up the Farmers. A nation that grinds up its Farmer in its flour is. Not getting cheap but very dear bread. It is ridiculous to say that the Farmer shall not exercise the privilege which All other toilers Havo of refrain to give himself away. Farmers of course like other producers should carefully trim their sails to the commercial wind but they should be cautious about following the advice As the Tribune tenders in Days like those when they Are so liable to be misled communications. Fine them for the very of once he he has a perfect right to commit and it pwt Tom daily b01tion. I will . And to Many loading Thorn.

Is the inclination of every upstart to be the Law of our City and it Applit merits ? if thin specimen of insane belief is at All general among our lords and masters of the Council we can easily explain Many strange things that have happened in the past for they were inclined to do and if the com Mittee of Tho Council who Are examining into the Case Bear out Aid.

The hosiery love departments monday october 20, 1884. Civic at this Point in the history of our City we would urge if possible with greater than Over before the absolute and immediate necessity that exists for every citizen to devote time and thought to its business. The details of City government cannot carried on by the great body of the electorate in person but they must sea to it that those they place in Power to represent Aud govern them carry out their wishes which can Only be done by constant attention being paid to the Busi Ness transacted not Only by a few r tentative and influential men but by the whole people. Those who desire Benefit or who conspire to Rob the City or who belong to rings do not fail to notice All matters of importance and consequently they Are posted and Able to act 10 As to Forward their Peculiar ends. Eternal vigilance is the Price of and so it is also Tho Price of Prosperity and of purity and intelligence in government. How Many of our people Aro really Well posted in civic matters we Aro afraid very few even after nil that has been done amiss Aud after All that Haa been said to Rouse them to a sense of their duty. The individual ratepayer May in conversation blame and criticize the Council but to is to blame himself to a great extent for the acts that Council being foolish or Crim Inal. How is he himself acting so As to improve the things he complains about will to support and work for Good men Only or will he in the vote for the first Man that asks him to have now the Point at which by some Means we must turn right around on our past record in this matter and every ratepayer must constantly Bear in mind that a stupid foolish or Crimi Nal vote in the Council Means dollars and cents out of his pocket at a time when that pocket Haa perhaps very Little in it the Summit has now been reached and any further carelessness or Advance in our present course will land us at the Bottom of a precipice hard to look at even now but which will be harder still to to thrust Over. Our City expenditure reached High water Mark some time ago and the re sults we now feel in High valuation and High taxation. Individually we groan at the state of ii Fain and condole with each other but in the name or All that is Good what Are we going to do about is it to be in the future intelligent business Effort towards an end or a it to to the same old display of hesitation that has at last placed us in our present painful position 1 a serious responsibility upon us nil. Let u see to it that we one and All arouse ourselves to it and keep aroused As to remove the disease under which our a Stem of City administration has. Become to extravagant and corrupt. Abate one Jot of Tho Industry heretofore displayed by them. They might undoubtedly with profit devote More Energy to other branches of farming but that might be done without reference to the wheat Market. It would be worse than Folly however for any Farmer be Casio disappointed in Tho Price received for his wheat this year to decide to pro Duce less of it next year or any succeed ing year until in a position to effectively Tarn his unexpended Energy to gome thing More promising. .

Shaggy mane excites Ary curiosity in the the far one Day his a moment Vicinity of the next he the Outlook for Wix sat. The Chicago Tribune says that Ono of Tho interesting questions brought Forward by the Low Prico of wheat a whether Farmers in America and abroad will aban Don wheat growing to an extent sufficient to restore the balance of the Market. It is universally admitted our contemporary Tau 9, that wheat is lit present Selling in United Stulgis and in England at prices which do not pay Tho Cost of pro As Well and the auction. In such As the tit a industries on manufacture textile industries generally prices Aro Bolow Tho Cost of production and in them Tho producers Aro responding to Tho state of Tho Market by reducing their output. Will Farmers follow their example 1 is Tho important question now being asked. The Tribune considers it too Early to speak with much do finiteness As to the policy of tha Western Farmers but it Haa not Ninon inform Alii m which leads it to con clude that the Furuie Isof the Winter wheat District intend sowing a smaller acreage this year than it estimates a de crease of fifteen per cent in Tho area fall ploughed. The Tribune thinks it natural to expect that Tho american Fanner who according to it is possessed of greater intelligence a better Market Ful Ler information and More adaptability than the Farmers of any other country will to Tho quickest to make a change. Bradstreets English agricultural Corrozi Pondant a of the opinion that the slow Ness of the British Farmer to depart it hair s breadth from the paths trod by generations of Farmers who have gone before will keep most of them at wheat raising until they have had several of disastrously Low prices in succession. There May be lome diminution to thinks in Tho Quantity produced in. The tosses his mighty horns amid the Pine boughs of Maine Tho third Blu wild Eye lights up with a now found gleam of re proach As he looks Down on the Golden cities of the Pacific. And to he wanders on sometimes interesting always Melan Choly for he it seems is on a Farewell visiting round. The gentlemen of the press have digged for him a grave in the lonely West to he is the grateful and considerate beast he ought to be he will shortly Betake himself that those Sci whom he is indebted for free passes and gratuitous advertising May not be disappointed. There is Are told with a mourn Ful snuffle believed to be not a single Herd of wild buffaloes upon the Prairies of Dakota of Minnesota where they once wandered in thousands. It is believed that the Only remnants of these mighty herds and of the thousands that once thronged the Canadian North West Are a few thousand animals scattered about the Vicinity of the u Wood mountains in the if this be True what does it prove that the country has gone to Tho dogs or that it has filled up with settlers who can turn their land to better account than Buffalo grazing 1 what would Tho Thrifty Farmers of Minnesota Dakota Manitoba and the Northwest do if buffaloes were still wandering in thousands Over their Fields and vegetable patches How would our Prairie milk maids get along if those mighty herds were still run Ning at Largo in this country frightening their cows and overturning their pails when they Felt so inclined t the Buffalo is undoubtedly a very estimable and vastly interesting animal but Manitoba at least can manage to worry along with out any More of him than Warden Bedson can conveniently put up at Tho Penitentiary. Advancing civili7.ation is an uncompromising and uncultured monster. It ruthlessly destroys picturesque land scapes by sweeping away forests and piling up smoke stacks. It has no More regard for the Purling Brook than if it were a sewer. It tears up Tho Green Sward and tramples the Flowers of the Prairie under its feet. Worse it ignores the romantic with its musical River cart and tossing Down its straight uninteresting rails sends its Iron forerunner shrieking through the land. All this besides slaughtering and driving away the Buffalo advancing civilization undoubtedly does. In fact it generally behaves itself the Young Ladias great horrid but How Are we going to help ourselves this horrid thing is uncompromising in its requirements. If we have Limpid streams to cannot have factories if to Havo picturesque buffaloes we can not have thriving settlements. We must Mako our Choice. We Aro grateful to editors for the sympathy which they Are extending to at this trying moment when to Are awaking to Tho fact that to cannot eat our cake and keep it. We Trust that they have been rewarded for their kind Ness in having Boon provided with a Good subject for but if not to in Tond to prove that to Aro not ungrateful some Day when to get time by growing oct.

I believe with ratepayer that our school Board will not Sanction any such proposition. In your excellent editorial in to Day s Issue under the heading of some compari you very truly say that our methods in connection with the civic Busi Ness Are entirely too extravagant. Does our school Board wish to follow such an example surely not. Let them care fully consider the comparison with re Gard to the expenditure on Public schools in Hamilton London and Winnipeg not forgetting the respective populations of the three cities. The citizens of Winni Peg Are not in the humor at present for putting up with reckless extravagance from the. City Council school Board or any other body having charge of Public funds.

Sik Are colonization lands exempt from taxation 1 to this question i would like an opinion through your valuable paper As you have Ever been willing to assist the struggling people of the North West. At the court of revision held in the municipality of South Quappelle an Appeal was considered from the Ontario Quappelle land company their agent claiming that the greater portion of the lands offered for Sale by Tho company Are exempt from taxation on the grounds that these lands have not been regularly accepted Anglo Catesby the land company.

Hay has been sold on these lands and Timber melancholy Over Tho disappearance of Tho Moose from Tho Vicinity of new York Chicago then adjourned. Is now offered for Sale by the agents notices posted by them land have company s also been Arning settlers against trespassing in any Way upon said lands but when the question was put to the company s representative whether these lands were the property of the company or occupied by them or in their Possession the answer was. In the negative Tho agent stat ing that the land company acted in a measure for the . So far As i understand the agreement Between Tho o. P. R. And the government in reference to Syndicate lands it is to the effect that As soon As the land passes out of the control of the 0. P. A or is in any Way occupied they then immediately become taxable property. Now or. Editor if agreements for these lands can be so arranged by the different land companies As to prevent their being taxed until they have been disposed of to a third party you May add this a the lat est and greatest grievance to the settlers of the Northwest.
