There was much talk a the depres

price of grain an i the decline in land values That was true to a certain exient But iet these grumblers turn to other parts of t!
world. Let them compare the condition of Canadian farmers with the condition of
farmers in Engiand or the United States. It would be found chat in England the value of farm property had depreciated be yond parallel, while in the United States there had not only been a very large loss of population in rural districts, but the value of land had sunk to point. This latter perfectly clear by the correspondents of

fact had been made
the Globe who visited New York state a short time ago. In Ontario the value of ferm lands had also gone down, and why ! Because enormous belts of fertile territory had been opefied up in the Northwest, and the price of agricultural products had declined in a!l the great markets of the world.
The Government had not, however, act- ed as mere ** flies on the wheel.” When- ever the price of any article was inflated by means of trade combinations, 1 had either been put upon the free list or the
duty lowered to « point which rendered the abuse of the protection impossible! it was not to be supposed, however, that peculiar to countries

having a protective tariff. In England, a country approaching the nearest to free trade of any nation in the world, combina- tions were just as great and as numerous as ip the United States, and much more so than in Canada. There the tariff, a popular error to the the increase.

f wealth and influence there. Last year uguese Government honored him
‘ is title, and he is now the Chevalier Mi Kay. Arcpoter for the Sun had a ‘ interesting chat with Mr. McKay while he wasia St. John, and found him
very ready to discuss the prospects of push- ing Canadian trade with Damerara. We llows from the Sun:

Asa member of the Royal Agii- cul:ural and Commercial Society, be was in- strumental in getting a commissioa appointed to test the merits of Canadian flour, against which there was strong prejadice. The com- mission made full investigation and proved that Ontario flour had been grossly misrep- resented. And on the last steamer from St. jJchn there went down ten bsrrels and a num b f bags of Manitoba flour, sent by Prem- Mr. McKay is sure that Ogilvie’s flour and that of the Keewatin mills ist what the people want, aud that a large is bound to be develope d.

Wonderful Consistency ! Six,—I notice in the Weekly Gveardian a long article entitled ‘‘Divisions of Christianity,” which is really an attack on the Church of Rome. Referring briefly to the Ritualists of the Anglican Church, the learned editor very charitably speaks of
them es the ‘*imitators or emissaries of Rome But who are his authorities gainst Rome? His chief authority is the late R Dr. Littledale, who was a most
iounced Ritualist, and who probably wrole more in defence of Ritualism, and
more against Rome, too, than any rian of the present age; and the itic'e winds up very nicely with a quota- tion from Bishop Perry, the Ritualistic Bishop of lowa, whom mavy will remember having visited St. Peter's, Charlottetown, s few years ago. The Guardian should be re carcfal than to give the lie direct to its word, ANTI-PREJUDICE.
