A ny one unacquaiafied with Canadian politics would suppose that this Sir John was now ru‘iing and swaying the destinies of this fair DUXIJin‘tGIl, instead of being, as "he is and has been,.out of oflice for three years past. Then why this repeated , reference to a private-gentleman by those who run the machine called a Govern- ment. Granting, for the sake of argu ment, that Sir John is as bad as What Mme make him out to'be, he has suffered for doing wrong. He was condemned three years ago, and it is useiess, unfair, and met in keeping with the way poiiticui matters are treated, either in the Old Countrj or the neighboring “Republic, to he refeinying to the personal position of one man, and that man a private indi- vidual an 6 out; of office.

' There are two ways of looking at a-quc'stion, and it suits the writers of the Government papers only to give that side of the question that will help their own cause. No one will deny that there is a large number of people out of work in New' York, but it must be recollected that the United States is a sort of gran guy for the reception of hundreds of’ thousands of immigrants from every city and country in Europe, the most of whom,',iperhnps, congregate around New York and other large cities. 'l‘heref‘ore, it"is not suprisi‘ng that numbers of people must float into New York, who will find it hard to obtain work. Why it is said that half». million alone of the popula- tion of the United States are natives of the Dominionol’ Canada. But the idea of trying to force the people of Canada tobflieve that the reason of the vast numbers of, people out of employment is on account of promotion being granted to it! minufuctures is too nbeurd and RICHMOND HILL, AUG. 25, 1876.

SIR JOHN. $60 00 35 00 20 00 12 00 8 00 00 ridiculous, and cannot, by a thinking! and reasonable people, be for one moment entertained, us before this can be accepted the Globe and kindred papers must show to the satisfaction of its read- ers how it would be, provided there was no protection granted to the mechanic. It is not unfair to assume for every skilled workman now found idle in New York there would be, under a lower tarifl", double the number. But the question with us, as a people, is are we content to allow the rulers of our Dominion to permit the manufacturers of a foreign country to enjoy not only a protection tariff from their own Government but from ours also, because the low rate of duty, as compared to theirs, which we permit goods to come in from the United States is, to all intents and purposes, a protection to the foreigner as against our own people, and until the American Goyernment see fit to reciprOCate and grant a {air interchange of commodities, justice will not. be done, and the only way to get justice from the Washington Gov- ernment is to put a duty of cent against cent upon every article imported from that country. One-sided free trade we have enjoyed quite long enough, and pandercd to the whims and capriccs ot’ a. people who apparently delight to set at naught the fair meaning of every treaty made with them. BALLoU’s MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR. SEPTEMBERâ€"The September number of this cheap and popular mag- azine has appeared, and is now for sale at all the newsdealers in the country. In spite of the hard times the people seem determined to read Ballou's, and the evidence is seen in the fact. and the circulation has fallen oflless than that of any magazrne in the country, a trib ute to its worth and the hold it has upon the people. In short, Ballou’s Magazine is for the people andjust. suits them, tbr it. has more variety and good readng then all the heavy high-priced serials in the country. Its domestic stories, its sea yarns and its tales of ad- ventnre make it. interesting to all classes, rich and poor. The table of contents for the September number is remark- able, and among the good things be lound M. Quad’s greatjuvenile story of “ That Taylor Boy,” which grows more inteieeting as it approaches a climax. It is insinuafed m the miscellaneous news’ column of' the Economist, that Sir John was drunk at the picnic at Col- bo-rne. It. would be as well for some people to look nearer lmme.

B. July. 20, we may say that the writer had not can;th a glimpse of a ghost, neither had he been imitated into the mysteries of Free .l’lasonry. He was simply startled at the firm hold American manufacturers have of our market. His letter reads thus: “ Matters do not. look very eu- couraging here. The shops are full of Amerimtn goods. Every shop I go into they throw down piles of them on the counter for my inspection, and, I can tell you prices and styles are cn-mgh to some a follow.” The Star very wisely thinks this quotation well illustrates the extreme folly of the policy which has so far prevailed in Canada, and fears that things will have to come to a much worse pass ere the Government will be scared into giving the Dominion'a‘Fair Play Policy. * The next Prdvincinl Exhibition Will be held in Hamilton on the 18th, 19th, 20th.

TFhrough the couruwy of one of our friends in the village, we had the pri- vilege of seeing the Economist of last week, as our exchange did not. come to hand; A Reform paper grants the idea that Mr. David Glass is about to be elevated to the Bench. IL may-turn out to be an elevation for Mr. Glass, but a deteriora tinn for the Bench. As M r. E. B. Wood got a reward for his political treachery, so, likewise, Mr. Glass must be paid for his. The Country Gentleman strongly re- commends the above order as preferable to summer fullnwin‘g. unless the land be too foul and weedy to admit of sewing a crop. A fallow is good to distroy weeds, and while it cleans, it at the same time enriches the soil, but it involves more or less labor, and what. is worse. the loss of a crop For the season. A better way when practicable is to sow a crop which draws largely on the atmosphere for its nutriment, smothers weeds, and leaves the soil mellow. Such a crop is the pea. Its Value as a preparation for fall wheat is not so Well understood as it ought to be. Many who quite apprecate the giain yield and even the straw product of this crop are entirely ignorant of its efiieaey and value in the other direction now adverted to. With the aid of plaster, to which it responds more promptly than clover, it may be grown on poor land, and leave the land in a better state than that in which it found it. If the soil is rich the plaster lshould be omited unless it is wished to ‘plough the haulm under. Too liberal a ‘supply of plaster must be avoided, lest ltlie result should be all straw and no grain. “Then you have no definite plan in your mind, Rufusâ€"nothing great or noble you wish to strive afterâ€"butjust the poor low object of making money Fast. Do you remember the little text, ‘ He that hasteth to be rich, shall not be innocent.’ There are very few honest Ways of making a fortune suddenly, and better a crust with God’s blessing upon it, than great treasures with it. Now my boy, the true way to make some. thing of yourseli’in the world is, to do your very best always~ in all circum- stances in which God has placed you. Every simple duty well done is a step- ping: stone to something higher. This is the only true way to rise in the weild. Learn to do as many things as you can. Drill yourself'to a soldier’s promptness. when any duty is to be done. Keep you r eyes open for good opportunities of improvement, and never fail to embrace them when they are within your reach. Learn all you can at the common school you attend, and if'you are really diligent, you will lay a good foundation for future education. \Vithout this, your day dreams will be only dreams. It is work. and not wishing. that will serve you in this working world. On some of the best managed farms in Great Britain and Ireland hay and straw are always “ chuffed," that is cut into short lengths with a machine before being fed to horses, cattle or sheep. The food is much easier masticated when in this condition. It is peculiarly adapted for animals which from age or accident have not got. good teeth. It is sometimes steamed and mixed With bran, bean meal or corn meal. Straw is also cut into short. lengths for litter, and it is claimed that in this shape it possesses the following advantages over the uncut article; It absnrbs liquid manure bet- ter. The manure is fit for immediate use when taken from the stalls, it is easy and does not interfere with the working of'lhe ground by an agricultural imple- ment. It may be applied to turnip fields with great advantage after the tur- nips have been thinned out. It may then be mixed with the soil by the drill- harrow or horse shoe, and on dry soils in dry seasons an application of out straw farm yard manure has been found ex- ceedingly beneficial. To- take rust from steel- covar the steel with Sweet 01]. well .nubhed- in.. Iniffirly~ eight hours, rub itwith finwly‘ pawdered nu- alacked lime until the rust disappears. If the soil be stifi' clay and in need of the mellowing influenceol' the freezing and melting process of our winter climate, plough late in the fall. Plonghing may be done in the spring. and even later, as the pea is early ripened. Brought along by the moderate application of plaster. it grows apace. As soon as the crop is secured plough again. 'I he straw should not be cut close, but both stock and root be turned under as green manure. At this time the soil should turn up clean mellow, and in good tilth. It ought to be in the condition of a perfect seed- bed. No better preparation than this for fall wheat can be suggested. There is the. effect of the fallow in the ploughings and harrowings, the weeds have been killed out, the soil has been shaded and kept moist, the crop has lived mainly on the atmospheric nourishment obtained thoughthe stimulus of the plaster, the land is the for the use to which it has been put. arm the cultivation is much better off with a product than with a naked fallow. As a green crop to turn under t‘or manure. there is nothing better than the pea, and when this use is made it plaster may be applied without stint, For the ranker the straw grows, the more manure there is. ‘ I am so tired of staying on this old Farm. and never having a chance to rise in the world, Uncle John,’ said Rufus Cole one day. ‘ I wish I could go ofl" somewhere, and do and [20 somethiug sometime ' Oh, I dontf knowâ€"something that would bring me plenty of money.

PEAS BE FORE WHEAT @rgrimlmml. A writer in theTScienttfic American says, in reply to a correspondent Who is troubled with Canada thistlcszâ€"The mode that I fonnd most expeditious and effective is to wait until the thistles are in full bloom and before the seeds were far enough advanced to ripen, and then mow them down with a scythe, which always ended the curse. The reason for this is that the stalk becomes holâ€" low after the plant blossoms and after the stock is cut it fills with. water, which rots the root; and the seeds not being old enough to ripen the vitality ends. There may be a few plants which have not blossomed, and which therefore will not rot, but sprout again, which will require cutting again when they get in blooom ; and as they are all cut at once they will all grow and blossom at the 1 same time, so that a second cutting will finish them. I have cleaned a field, that was so full of them that a cow could not be driVen throth it, in one season by this method. FOR THE DOMINION, At 56 per hundred feet.
