masterGul monarch of the European
markets.
With we'll filled barns and bursting
granaries, with ungathered harvests
ten-fold more abundant and valuable
than those already reaped, it would
seem that the American farmer ought
to sit on the top rail and contemplate
the gravity of the general situation
with complacent satisfaction and Sc
rene hopefulness, So long oppressed,
tax ridden, robbed and "hogged," he
could not reasonably expect anything
else but a continuance of these hard
ships, spoliations and disasters. But
Providence has smiled upon him, pro-
pitious seasons of fructifying shower
and sunshine have charmed away the
hidden treasures of his broad and fer
tie domain, and but for one thing and
one thing only, he would be monarch
OF all he surveys-a veritable Midas,
whose hand would transmute into
gold everything it touched. Whilst
hunger is tearing down the tariff laws
OF other countries, the American tariff
stands before him gluttonous, raven
Gus monster, demanding and devour-
ing one-third of his substance. The
only obstacle, and that is insurmount-
able, to fair and profitable exchange
OF his vast crops is Americas iniqui-
tous embargo upon its own trade.
These crops must go to Europe and
will be exchanged, to very large ex-
tent, for her manufactures, and when
the return cargoes reach American
ports, they will be seized by the leeches
OF the tariff system, they will be
weighed, measured and valued, and
the owners be compelled to pay fifty
per cent, of their value. To state the
fact in form easily understood, the
farmer must send about three bushels
OF wheat to get the exchange value Of
two, the other, or one-third, being
practically confscated by the Govern.
ment. He must cultivate three acres
to have for his own benefit the yield
OF two. After all, the Government is
the landlord, the farmer the tenant
and there is feudalism in all its glory
After all, with his sudden, unexpected
prosperity, with the unstinted bless
ings Of Heaven in barn, store house
and ripening fields, he is not so great
a king in the year of Grace, 1891, as t.
overcome us by the emblazonry of hi
wealth and the magnifcence of bis
imperial splendors.

One word with regard to the ore: 1t opened
better than we expected. Itismostly hematite;
but there are some brown ores AS to the

and so far as the development has gone, there
appears to be no reason for the present genera
tion troubling themselves on this point. Our
manager reports that the ores are well within
the Bessemer limits. Exclusive OF the ores
which we shall require to burn in our own
furnace, we shall be able to sell surplus ore at
the rate of 100 tons to 200 tons a dav--Hon. H.

THE cable brings the information
that Prof. Arnschied, OF Leipsic, who be-
longs to one OF the most noted Roman
Catholic families of that city, has an
nounced his conversion to Protestant
ism. Coupled with this is statement
that the professor attributes the change
in his religious view to his disbelief in
the authenticity of the garment known
as the holy coat, which is on exhibi
ton in the cathedral at Treves, and
his conscientious scruples against sup
porting church that would lend its
sanction to such an exhibition. How
any sensible man or woman can be
