If the National party was organized ior
anything, it was TO oppose Republican leg
islation, which was proving ruinous to the
country; yet under the leadership of Wea-
yer, ali the efforts of the party this year
have clearly tended to aid that party to
success, while in Toledo some of the fell
lows who got their first taste of official fod
der by the help of the National party, have
almost invariably used their influence 10
curry favor with the party they were pre-
tending to oppose. With such lot Of
treacherous barnacles climging to it, self

A depreciation in the value of the farm

This is augmented by a migration from
the Canadian manufacturing districts of
great numbers Of French Canadian Catho-
