The law authorizing the water pipes to BE- laid was
passed. il is said for the express purpose Of giving
employment TO cur idle manufactures, but in total
disregard Of the viii Of Congress, the contract Is
given 10 an individual who is not a manufacturer,
and who makes his purchases in Scotland, It is
enough TO excite the indignation Of American man
ufaeiureTs aud Of tho whole American people, to see
the spirit og Che law wiiiuy and deliberately vic
laied and foreign manufacturer respiRg the bene-
fl intended to be conferred upon the home work
aan-BdRReT.
Congress had no right to pass q Law for any such
purpose. The government might as we'll engage in
digging bitches to employ the idle population about
the streets Of New York. The Bqaaer must be wrong
nassgning this reason for the psssageof the law au-
thorizing the construction Of the Washington aque,
duct Il the work was necessary for transaction of
the public business it was legitimate to appropriate
the public to that purpose, and It the
duty of Congress- to have the work done ascheaply as
possible. 1t had no right to use the peoples money
to enrich capitalists and manufacturers in Pennsyl-
vauia or elsewhere. The contract for furnishing
water pipes vas, we suppose, let out to the lowest
bidder, lkeother contracts, andthe government haG
no right 10 dictate to the contractor, wherO be
should buy his material. He probably purchased
his iron where be sould get it cheapest

CANADIAN POLITIcs-REsIGUATIoE OF THE Brown
IMIsTRY.-Mr Brown enjoyed the Premiership
but a very short time On Monday his Ministry
was announced. A non confidence motion passed
the Legislative Council the same day and the House
Of Assembly on Tuesday. Mr.. Brown then Gp-
Peaed to the Governor General for dissolution of
Parliament and a new election. Sir Edmund Head
refused. On Wednesday the resignation of the
Brown Ministry was announced, and Mr.. Gait, the
member for SherbrOOke, was sent for 20 form a new
Administration. Mr.. Brown will, doubtless, let Sir
Edmund and the new Ministry hear from him Oeoa-

The Hammers Argument and its ExPlana-

The Hammers Argument and its EXPl"n"-
ton.
The Bonner endeavors 10 explain its statements that
iron could be bought lower in this country than in
England ana to reconcile this statement with its ar
gument for protective tariff. The explanation is
only an additional link in the nterminable chain Of
Inconsistencies which our neighbor has been draw
ing out The reason now assigned by the Banner
for the reduction in the price of domestic Iron below
the foreign article is entirely original with itself
Neither the Philadelphia Inquirer, nor North American
is respon able for it. Our neghbor did it all by him
SELF The explanation is as follows: American Manu-
facturers we're willing to sacrifice their Iron to get
this job from the government They we're afraid
Iron would decline and hence 'Aey "vr9 "ifnng 20
sell below the .sarket valuation.
This is the substance Of the Banners reasoning on
the subject Now we should think the privilege Of
selling to government would furnish no indictment
to submit to sacrifice, and that uuderselling the
market price would be the worst way in the world
to guard against the effects Of = decline.
The fact is, however, that the price Of Iron has
been nearly stationary for the last six months until
within four or FIVE weeks past since which time the
tendency has been upwards. Though not so high
as it was in the flush times Of SO and 54 when it
was selling under the low tariff at from S38 TO S45
ton for pig metal, Iron is certainly bringing very
fairly remunerative prices At any rate there has
been nothing in the condition or prospects of the
market for several months, to induce manufacturers
to under sell the regular prices Our neighbor will
have to try again

About the Crops.

WILSON COUNTY, aug Z, 1905.
Editors UHioa and AneTieaa: In a recent issue Of
your paper, you ask statement of the farmers in
reference to the crops So far as my knowledge ez-
tends, net one farmer in City in this county saved
bundle of oats The crop was nearly an entire fail
ure, particularly that sOWn late in the season.
The wheat crop is better than was anticipated
before harvest. The yield was little more than
half as much per acre as last season. The breadth
of land sowa was about the same as in 1885, conse,
quenuy we have little more than half crop Of
inferior wheat.
The corn crop in this (eastern) part of the county
will compare with that of any other year. But
learn that in localities the crop has suffered
materially Tor want Of rain. The fields that L have
seen in Smith county present aattering prospect
for an abundant harvest. Nothing like rust has
made its appearance in the corn.
Those who were fortunate enough to SOW rye, have
been well remunerated for their labor but the guam
ty sown was very small, consequently there is
great demand for seed. The seed, think, will be
worth from 81 to 81 % per bushel by seeding time
A great many of our farmers have sown millet.
The early sowing has somewhat rusted; the later
looks promising which we hope will partially sup
ply the place of the bIghted ost crop, and teach
farmers useful lesson in this ancient usage Of
soiIdestroying and oaf cullivating policy, and in
duce them to cultivate rye, mille and the grasses
either of which is far better provender than oats
Some fields of tobacco look WELL while others pre-
sent but poor prospect for good crop. Too much
rain fell early in the for new or wet land.
The quantity planted is not great as in former
years. The worms have begun their ravages in
good earnest, and upon the whole, conclude the
growing crop will be short one.
Too much rain has fallen for vines but the sweet
potato crop will be fine, if seasonable until frost
