year, larger stock of wheat was existing in this
country than IN any former year whatever. And al
though those stocks may be suffering some consld-
cradle dminutlon at present. yet II must be borne IN
mind, that the extra consumption upon the old
stocks, IN consequence of the lateness OF the present
harvest, VIII be IN some measure compensated by
the fact that the crop of this year will only have TO
supply eleven months consumption that of 1874
having already been available for thirteen months.
The REVOLUTION IN GREAT BRITAIN--But apart
from the circumstances at which we have glanced,
other causes have been at work to produce this
feeling on the part OF the British farmer. The soul,
the vitality OF the English aristocracy, consists in
the possession OF respectable rent ROLL and in the
influence OF political power. To increase the one,
the great landlords have assumed of late years the
task OF educating the cultivator of the soil, by in
PRODUCING hlm TO the mysteries OF chemistry and
making him acquainted with the wondrous powers
of the different manures. To secure the other the
same landlords hold their tenants in kind of po-
litcal vassalage-make them nants-at-wil, and in
the majority OF cases, refuse to grant leases of any
duration on the property which they occupy. The
consequence is that he.tenants must exercise the
franchise his lord directs him, or bid adeu to his
homestead. These two motives, seemingly ineom-
patible brought out in strong relief at the agri-
cultural dinners, and both of them have contributed
in their way, to the singular anomaly in which, as
body,ihe British farmers are placed. If leases were
general, the farmers would possess the strongest Pc
cunlary lnducement 10 vest his capital in the I'M
provenient and extension Of his land-in making it
yield the best return but in the absence of such
motive, he lives, as IT were, from hand to mouth,
he knows not the day when he may get notice to
"turn out" So, again, thesmprOvements of modern
science go into the pockets of the owner rather
than the occupier OF the land--for with the means
of increasing the produce come an increase of the
tenants rent Thus, the activity which has at length
oyertaken the sons Of the soil, engenders state OF
mind untavorable to the existing order OF things and
II Is not very surprising, therefore, to find many
practical farmers the friends rather than the oppo-
nents OF those who advocate free trade in corn;
In short the corn laws are now universally regarded
as landlords, not tenants question and the best
proof OF the progress which Golden has made on
the minds even of the aristocracy, to be found in
the subdued tone, and in the actual recognition OF
his principles, by many OF the titled personages who
formerly assailed them in the bitterest terms. The
new light, which has at length so tardily began 10
dawn on the minds of the operative agriculturists
has loosened, IN great measure, the sympathy
which long bound them up with the feelings and pre-
JUDGES OF their superlors-the sympathy OF an ina
glnary but mistaken self-interest. That the change
in the corn laws Is not distant may be read in the
speeches at the various agricultural gatherings in
different parts OF the island during the last few days

The Accountant General has reckoning in store
