The Committee Of Inquiry into the
causes Of Agricultural depression has .
wide field before It, and 10 certainly
not limited to the causes to which may
b assigned legislatlye origin. As
It will take cognixance Of American
competition, It will be bound to esti-
mate - nearly ~ it can the advan-
tages and the Disadvantages enjoyed
or suffered by the home producer.
The advocates Of our own agr1cultur-
al interests appear to calculate with
great nicely the prime cost Of Ameri-
can produce, and the expenses OF
transport from the interior of the vast
western continent, by land and sea,
to the heart of this metropolis. They
arc bound to apply the came keen
commercial acumen to the transport
of their own goods from before their
doors to the Same aIl-absorbing goal.
Why are they beaten in q race in
which their competitors have to run
Eve or six thousand miles, with some
)
change of conveyance, while .hem-
selves have to run perhaps only fifty
miles, all at one course2 In some
matters the competition will have to
be estimated quality for quality. The
best American cheese, butter, bacon
and hams will not bear comparison
with the best English, for, apart from
such difference - the coil and climate
may occasion, articles intended to
travel half round the earth cannot be
prepared in 90 sppetizing and there
fore pefishable form - the choicest
products Of the English diary. But,
quality for quality, what can England
offer at the same price that shall equal
American butter At 3D., bacon and
hams ct 3D., and cheese ct 4d. The
general complaint of :agriculturists
il that they do not know how to dis
pose of their goods, and that when
they attempt to discover or force a
straighter way to the consuming pub.
lie they find themselves headed by q
ring Of middlemen or thrown upon
unknown people who prey on their
Ignorance and ssimply rob. them OF
their goods. Bat II Americans cas-
bring their products to market and
place them well for sale-which it is
always assumed they do-why canno,
the English landowner and farmer I?
Ono answer will suggest itself to
many: II is that the American ,s
much keenH and sharper than the
Englishman, and that he pursues his
melancholy business simply with an
eye to profit. On the other hand,
farming IL here an amusing and dig
nifed occupation. and only exception
ally . plan for money making. 1t is
too true that many country gentle
men would feel themselves sinking In
their own estimation If they found an
annual balance In their favor, even
after repairs and odd expenses. They
might take q sort Of competitive pride
in proclaiming the fact but they
would, nevertheless, feel It too much
like real farming. Such spirit may
be very generous, but It has no claim
to legislative aid. The committee
will have to treat agricultnre on it's
own merits as the manufacture of food
ont of the soil.-(London Times.

made one of his irresistible cut pictures-two
pictures for which alone any one can well
afford to buy this number. A very interesting
