A Home Market.
Irs VALUE TO FARMERS - CANADIAN CON-
PETITION.
+ Manchester IN. H.) Mirror. |

Manchester IN. H. Mirror.
The very fact that our farmers cannot
compete with Others in the production OF arti
c!es that arr sold abroad, like wheat, corn,
cotton, beet and pork, makes them absolute
" dependent upon Il home market This has
been true for wars, MT only generally but
special, and narrowly; that is, our farmers
have not oulv received yearly every dollar
tn, ir crops have brought fir I'm New England
consumers, but there can hardly be found an
exception to the rule that th-is prosperity has
depended upon their proximity to a market in
which they could sell their products without
the expense of shipment, and the services of
several sets of mldlemen ihe farmers of
Bedford, Dunberton, Golf town. Gambia. and
Hooksett have all got rich. and their farms
are valuable because they have a home mar
ket at Manchester, while those with Just as
good land and just as much enterprise and
industry have grown poor elsewhere because
they have had no market which they could
reach with their own teams, and have been
compelled to ship everything by rail and pay
somebody a commission for selling, and so it
is all over New England That is so well un
der-tood that if the Bedford farm which is
worth $50 an acre was located in many of the
towns in the State it could not be sold for
half what the buildings cost. And yet we
have paper up at Concord talking about the
''home market humbug."
And this brings US to another question:
the protection of our home markets from
Canadian competition, which we regard as an
all-important one to the farmers of Vermont,
New Hampshire and Maine. There are peo-
pie who argue that the annual importation of
seven million dollars worth of lumber, 2l,-
600 horses. &c, 900 cattle, three and half
million pounds of wool and large amount of
other Canadian produce. very large share
of which crosses the line east of Detroit aud
is sold in every New England town in direct
competition with the products of New Eng
land farms does not damage our farmers any,
and that the abolition of the duty of about
tweoty per cent that Canadians are now
compelled to pay, and it seems, are able to
pay in order to get into our markets, which
would treble, qusdruple and quintuple these
mportations. would be a blessing TO our land
owners; but this seems to US the essence of
folly, and our judgm mt is that the future of
New England farming is almost entirely de-
pendent upon the settlement of this tariff
question in which is involved the existence
and control of our home markets For us
there is and can be no foreign market and
no domestic market beyond cur own Dor
ders; aud unless there is a home demand
and one which foreigners are not allow ed to
supply, our farming is doomed industry.

Not to be Discouraged

Persons who have once got the idea into
their heads that they are "heirs" to large
English estates, of which they will become
possessors if they only persevere in push
ing their imaginary claims. appear to hug
their delusion more closely as difficulties
increase in their way. An illustration of
this is found in the fact that 300 of the
Lawrence Townley "heirs' recently held
meeting in Detroit and Indignantly re-
jected as unworthy of unbelief the state
ment procured from our minister to Great
Britain that there is no Lawrence ownley
estate, nor any known family of that de-
scriptioD. and that there is Townley
estate which has been held for long time
by its proprietor, who are protected by
law, and against whom no one offers any
claim. Owing. however, to this state
ment, the lawyers appear to have changed
the name and location of the property, al
though its value remains at the old sum OF
$500, 900, 900. Once it was the Chase
estate, then the Chase-Townley, and then
the Lawrence ownley. Hereafter it is
to be the Peregrine- Edward Townley es-
tate. and the "heirs" are to be represented
by William II. Stewart and S. H. Blake,
of Toronto. The lawyers will doubtless
keep up the search in regard to the prop
erty as long as they are we'll paid. and it
would seem that the credulity Of these
clients is sufficient to keep them employed
forever, or until such fine as the want of
funds will oblge them to cease their pur-
suit of the gns fatuus which is leading
them such a foolish dance.
Opening the Sioux Reservation.
The bill which has passed the Senate.
for the opening to settlemento OF II 100000
acres of the Sioux reservation in Dakota,
is very important measure. A special
to the Tribune from Washington says:
1.-The reservation comprises $4,000 square
miles, is four times as large as the State of
Massachusetts, and 'is as fine country
Senator Dawes says, 'as the sun rises upon
in all this nation there are only % 900
Indians on the reservation and the Siouxs
practically have given their consent to
the reduction and are to be paid fifty cents
an acre for the land taken. 1t is to be
open to settlement under the Homestead
laws, with the exception that fifty cents
an acre must be paid by the settler. The
residue of the land is to be divided in sew
crafty among the Indians in the discretion
of the President. Senator Teller says that
every alternate section in the entire reser-
walton ought to be opened to settlement.
as the only way to settle the Indian prob
lem is to put the settler side by side with
the Indian; but he did not press such an
amendment. Senator Dawes says that he
believes that the absorption of the Indian
into the body polite, mixing him with the
white population, is the true theory in
settling the problem, but it will have to
be done slowly"
