THE BARLEY CROP Or CANADA-Ths II.
=. consul at Port Sarnia, in a report To the
Department OF State, says that the farmers
OF Ontario, the great barley pro iuciny dis
trict OF Canada, are much disappointed al the
color OF the grain of the present years bari ~
crop which is very dark. This color is az
counted for by the wetness OF the season, Az
beer invariably partakes of the color of in
malt from which ii is manufacturei a
bright amber color ad Is much to the valus ot
The grain. IL is expected, therefore, that the
dark color will materially interfere with tha
sales of The present crop. In all other re
spects the crop is considered salts factory, for
Glthough the acreage was not SO large "a tina
or the previous year, the yield is ex ,elie n,
al An average harvest is anticipated. Tee
total exports of barley and rye 10 the U. 4.
during the year ending June 80, 1875. was
5,4l3.S4i bushels, worth S5 359 3il. For the
year 1876 these exports am )unted TO TO- l6i 55i
bushels, worth ~ .426, ,s27. An Increase of
twice the amount in quantity, but a great
falling off In the price per bushel. Almost
the entire exports OF barley aud rye are to the
United States, only 6,60S bushels going to ali
other countries during the year 1876. Fears
are entertained that the temperance move
ment in the United States will have q de.
pressing effect on the bre Rers, and through
these, TO whom all the Canadian exports of
barley and rye are disposed, on the eyricui-
tural interests OF Canada,

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1877-05-03

Packard in retiring from the contest in
Louisiana wrote letter bitterly review
ing the course pursued by the general
government and concluding as follows:
Had the General Assembly continued in
session in the State House | should have
deemed it my duty to have asserted and
defended the government to the last, not
withstanding the withdrawal Of the troops,
but with the Legislature disintegrated and
no prospect Of present success, cannot
task your tried fidelity by asking you to
longer continue to aid me in the struggle
have thus far maintained. ! therefore
announce to you that am compelled to
abstain for the present from all active as
scrtion Of my government. ! waive none
of my legal rights but yield only to su-
perior forces. am discouraged by the
fact that one by one the Republican State
governments Of the South have been
| forced to succumb TO force or fraud or
policy.
Louisiana, the first State rehabilitated
after the war is the last State whose gov
eminent thus falls and believe it will
be among the first to uprise itself again to
the place Of equal and honest, represents
ton. / advise that you maintain your
party organization and continue to battle
for the rights Of citizenship and free gov
eminent. We strive for these and not for
man or men. 1t grieves me beyond ex-
preston that the heroic efforts you have
| made and the cruel sufferings you have
undergone to maintain Republican prin-
cipIes in Louisiana have had this bitter
ending To those who have 50 gallantly
stood by me in the long contest we have
passed through tender my heartfelt
thanks and to all cousel peace, patience,
fortitude and firm trust that cventuall,
right and justice will prevail.

persist in bringing the cheapest stuff they
can get to the last quarter of cent gal
Ion, rather than purchase the best in the
market at a fair price, it is useless to leg
islate for any other purpose than to pro-
tect community that will not or cannot
protect itself.
He says, further, we asked for law
to protect the people from the imposition
of adulterated oils An amendment to the
law of last year was framed having this
purpose in view, which Mr.. Stacy agreed
to support He knows better than | why
it was not enacted. He also knows better
than why this amendment designed to
protect the people of this State from poor
oils was rejected, and another enacted re
ducing the test to 100 degrees, when all
the competent, disinterested testimony in
the country would show that the flashing
test only insures safety, and has nothing
whatever to do with the quality of the OF
in other respects.
1t is perfectly clear that Mr.. Stacy il
not satisfied vet. He means 40 degrees
oil, and I have no doubt that if the State
| is SO unfortunate as to secure his service:
in another Legislature, his efforts and hi
elequence, assisted by an invoice of adul
| terated oil from Cleveland, will be enlist
ed in securing further reduction of tn
test to 10 degrees.
| | have read Dr. Rhodes article witt
much interest and pleasure. 1t is sount
doctrine from beginning to end; but
warn any one from making the expert
ment described by him on 40 degre
oil. as recommended by Mr.. Stacy
Very respectfully.

THE LOUISIANA COMMISSION.

The Louisiana Commission seems to be
acting by indrection. On the 18th they in
formed a reporter that they thought the end
of their labors was near. This opinion seems
to be based upon the desertion of members of
Packard's Legislature, and the corresponding
increase of Nichols Legislature. Packard
claims that these assertions are instigated by
the Commission. The Commission
telegraphed the President on
the 10Th stating that everything looked favor
able to an adjustment As they included in
their telegram letter from Gov. Nichols,
pledging protection to all classes OF citizens
it is inferred that they intend to solve the
problem in manner similar to the South
Carolina case Packard still declares
his discrimination TO stick, and his
Legislature held u caucus OF most exciting
character which resulted in passing resolutions
dcnouncing the Commission for interfering in
the domestic affairs of the State, and inducing
members to join Nichols ranks.
The President and Cabinet held pro-
| tracted session on the Goth, considering
the report of the Louisiana Commission. 1t
was decided to withdraw the troops, and after
the Cabinet meeting the President sent the
following letter: Executive Mansion. Wash
ington, April 20, 1S77-Sir: Prior to my enter
inc on the duties of the Presidency there had
been stationed, by order of my predecessor, in

ground upon which the military power OF tn
national government may be invoked for tn
