The GRAIN CROP This YEAR-Some of the
organs of the late wing party are just now
grievously troubled because the country is ex-
porting no breadstuffs to Europe, a crcum-
stance VIII ch with singular logic, they ascribe
to the want of protection to native manufac-
lures. Their argument appears to be, that if
our tariff were higher, Europe would consume
more American breadstuffs.
About enough nonsense has been uttered on
this breadstufs question; it is time that it were
properly understood. 1t is positively pitiable
to hear people talking, at the present day, of
tariffs regulating the price of American wheat,
or of American farmers being ruined because
Europe needs little or none of their wheat. It
is high time that every one should understand
that the real customers of the American wheat
grower are the people of this country, and
that, one year with another, when sufi-
cient quantity has been set aside for seed
and reserve stock and a few million bushels
supplied to the West Indies, South America,
and other countries which rely on the
United States for food, this country does not
grow great deal more than it's people con-
| sumo. In prosperous times the people of
the United States will consume in year
| one hundred and fifty millions of bushels
of wheat: add to this the quantity which must
| be retained for seed, for surplus in case of a
| crop failure next year. and what will be left,
even out of crop of 2OO,OO0,OOO bushels, for
| export to Europe? Time has been it is true,
when this country has exported to England in
season over 100000 bushels of wheat; but
what was the consequence? The price, in con-
sequence OF the speculative impulse given to
the market, rose here to over So a bushel, and
for the sake of getting from the British that
price for fifteen millions of bushels, the Amer-
can consumers of all the rest of the crop had
to pay double price for their -four.
This season there is very little prospect
OF large breadstuffs export to Europe, for
two reasons. First, the crops of last year
were largely above an average, and the stocks
on hand at all the great commercial centres
are large enough to supply the demand till
next spring. And secondly, our crop last
year was so small that the whole country is
very bare Of grain and -four. New England
and the Middle States will require be-
tween this and winter time, very large
quantity of wheat. We may mention, in
illustration of this, that though Chicago is send
ing forward an average of 100000 bushels OF
wheat per day, not bushel of it reaches this
city; it is all caught up by the millers and con-
sumers on the way. On the whole, it is fair to
infer that the home demand will afford the
farmer fair market for his produce, and will
prevent prices falling to a point OF which II
could be shipped to Europe.
AS to connection between the tariff and the
grain export, there is none whatever. The
highest protectionist tariff that could be de-
vised would not make the English give as much
this fall for American wheat as 1t can be sold
for here, simply because they don't want it and

New YORK AND Observation-Disclosures Popu-
1Arross.-An arithmetical genius, who is proba-
bly Interested in real estate in the City OF
Churches, has sent to the morning papers a
communication showing the relative growth of
NewYork and Brooklyn for the last forty years,
and calculating on the basis thereof their in
crease for the next forty years. According to
this calculation the year 1900 will find New
York with population of about five millions
(4,966,4S0) and Brooklyn with population of
six and half millions (6,56s,0OO.) These
figures are obtained by taking the returns Of
the last census, in 1856, and assuming that New
York doubles Its population once in fifteen
years and Brooklyn once in eight years
Without pausing to reflect on the wonderful
picture of a city of eleven or twelve
million inhabitants, we cannot subscribe to the
reasoning by which the sanguine calculator ar
rives at his results. Brooklyn may have in
creased for the last forty years at the ratio
stated; she may have doubled her population

house for the United States Court, and a COM
modious Post Office for the federal govern
ment There is plenty of room between Chat
ham square and Centre street to erect all these
buildings, which, if constructed with taste and
an eye to architectural beauty and harmony,
would give New York one Of the most magni-
Hcent public squares in the world, and would
at the same time rid the city of one of its great
est nuisances.
Let the Corporation do this, and let the
Beekman street job alone.

The Northwestern boundary Dispute
with England.

with England.
We received by telegraph last night later
news from the island of San Juan relative to
the movements of the American and British
troops there; and by the arrival of the Arabia
at Halifax, from England, we learn of the effect
produced in that country by the news of Gen
Harneys occupation Of the island in question.
The news from the island of San Juan indi
Gates that there will be no collision between
the forces OF the two governments; for, al
though Governor Douglass seemed determined
to provoke an encounter with the Americans
the British Admiral on that station has proved
a man Of cooler temperament, having refused
to obey the orders of the Governor, and deter
mined to await orders from the Home Govern
ment before taking any decided action. Mean
while General Harvey had notified Governor
Douglass that his object in taking possession of
the island was solely to protect the Americans
there from the insults of the British authorities
of Vancouver Island and of the Hudson Bay
| Company-the head of the last named being
none other than Governor Douglass himself
! The discreet decision of the British Admiral
will prevent hostilites, and the arrival on the
ground of General Scott will secure peace until
the two governments can come to an under
standing
The news from England is that the organ OF
Lord Palmerston the London Post, had taken
the view which we had reason to expect ii
would assume. 1t asserts, with Pamerstonian
Indignation that the British government cannot
tamely submit to the occupation of the island
by the Americans, and that they will see thai
justice is done to British subjects This il
simply carrying out the established policy O.
the British government TO make extensive
claims in cases Of dispute, in order to secure
even a small share in the end.
But the matter is one for diplomacy, and can
be settled easily between the two governments
if England is sincere in her protestations of a
desire for peace with the United States, and
will consent to be guided by common sense
and equity. We have already surrendered a
large portion of territory on our Northwestern
boundary for the sake of peace. Our govern
ment will not give up this island of San Juan
which is clearly ours, and should by all means
| remain in our possession.

THE GREAT EASTERN AT SEA.-We learn by
the Arabia, at Halifax, that the Great Eastern
started from her mornings in due course on the
9th inst, and was out at sea, making for Port
land, England from which she was to start on
her trial trip on Saturday last, the 18th inst
She got safely through the intricacies OF old
father Thames, and worked in satisfactory
manner in all respects. Read an interesting
sketch Of her history in another part of this
mornings paper. So far, then, her success is
established; and as she is probably returning
from her trial trip about this time she will most
likely sail for this country, as announced on
the 2sth She will be due in Portland the first
week in October, from which point she will
come to this city, entering by the Sound. Look
out for the monster of the deep! Meantime,
we suggest to the New York Yacht Club, whose
squadron is to rendezvous of City Island on

his country does. And if ever this country is
again called upon to feed Europe with wheat,
which seems to be the great dream Of some
economists, it will be the greatest misfortune
imaginable for the United States, for it will
oblige every consumer of bread throughout the
country to give double price for his food.

The News.

The steamship New York reached this port last
night bringing files of papers to the 9Th inst, the
day on which she left southampton. Her news is
three days later than that brought by the Persia,
but not so late as the teegraphic news by the Ara
bia at Halifax, which is to the 10th inst. We have
also advices from Liverpool to the 18th by the Nova
Scotian, which passed Farther Point yesterday. The
political news is of some importance. The confe-
rences at Zurich had been suspended, and
Parma and Modena had passed resolutions in ia vor
of annexation to Piedmont. We give the speech of
Victor Emanuel, in which he declines to accept
the united crown of Tuscany and Modsna until after
the assembling of general congress- with some
other interesting extracts on Italian and French
politics. Miss Jessie Mereton White MADAME
Mario) had been released from prison in Bologna.
A petition for the restoration of Prince Napoleon
to the head Of affairs in Algeria had been
signed by the principal proprietors in that colony
The principal local item Of interest in Great
Britain was the splendid trial performance of the
Great Eastern, she having run fifteen miles in two
minutes less than an hour, with a strong tide
against her, and with expenditure of only two

San Francisco advices to the 9TH inst. state that
five hundred American troops were on the Island
of San Juan, had erected earthworks, and so dis
posed the field pieces as to command the harbor of
Victoria. The British Admiral had refused to obey
the orders of Governor Douglas to bring on COLI

tight, and the Bank was preparing to issue new

The attention of the American Minister at Peru
has been called to the claims of American citizens
on that government, many of which are of long
standing. Peru has recently expressed willing
ness to settle, in two instances but the State
Department is anxious that all may be included
and has directed Minister to insist on the settle
ment of number of other similar cases. No re-
dress has yet been obtained from Chile for the nu-
merous outrages perpetrated on persons and pro-
perry of American citizens in that country.

from error and was not intended as an insult. Mr..

DEMIsE.-We made a brief announcement
last week under our obituary head, of the death
OF COLLINS WETMoRE, more Familiarity, but re-
spectfully known as UNCLE Coll Being one
OF the Oldest inhabitants of this vicinity he was
OF course well known, and as we'll respected
His sunny disposition, his kindness of heart,
and his correctness of life, were with him ma
tive qualities, and their legitimate and tact ac-
acknowledgement, were not withheld from him by
his acquaintances in their daily intercourse with
him. His type Of character is well shown in
the anecdote we published of him soon after
spreading our tent in this place, and which time
will not easily efface from recollection, and we
cannot avoid repeating as a memorial of him.
Crossing the sill of the stranger, with well fill
ed basket Of most Of the leading products of his
garden, he made the presentation to the la
dy OF the house, who curious to know who il
was from, raised the inquiry but only to
be informed in the very dubious and humorous
way, that it was from "UNoLE Coil"
AS was intended, this answer detracted but little
from the interest of the transaction, His death
has been coupled with the accident, which oc-
Cured to him on his return from the West last
spring, but we are informed that he had for
year or more labored under disease of the
stomach, or intestines, at times quite severely,
and which was probably the immediate cause
of his death
He was not we believe, amember of any reli-
gious denomination, but his funeral was numer-
ously attended, and the charge of the obsequies
was taken by the Masonic order, to which he
belonged. The interment was made at Ply
mouth. May his unostentatious virtues find imi.
tators among his survivors
