The anticipated failure OF the
English harvest, owing to contin-
uous rains, and the prospect OF
anger importations than ever OF
bread.stuffs and cattle from the
United States, is intensifying the
feeling in England that some means
must be taken to prevent the alb
solute ruin of the farmers and agri-
cultural laborers. The London
Spectator sums up the situation by
pointing out that three remedies
are open. In the first place the
landlords must reduce their rents
The Prince of Wales and half q
dozen great landowners have al.
ready done so, but the reductions
must be greater than any yet made
The second remedy suggested is
an import duty on food, which
is not likely to be granted, because
the American supply is a boon to
every one in England except the
farmers. There are hundreds Of
thousands of English people who
never tasted beef except on Sun
days till the introduction of Amer
lean beef Lastly, there is the re-
sort to emigration, prescribed by
Lord Derby and likely to be adopt
ed, per force, by a very large num-
bers of English farmers. An H.
flux may be looked for here during
the fall similar in character to that
of the years of the Irish famine,
though probably not SO large.
