Lord Churchill Talks to Farraers.

Lord Randolph Churchill, addressing a meeting of farmers „at York, Thursday,said the present kvw prices of wheat where ruinous to the farmers. As a politician, he had not a grain of comfort to offer them. A British farmer growing wheat did not seem to know when he was beaten. Lord Churchill says he foresaw nothing likelv to cause a rise in the price of wheat sufficient to afford a profit to the grower. Foreign imports were illimitable, not from America only, but from other sources. The farmers of England should realize thoroughly that India is a tremendous granary, and will continue to pour into the English market increasing quantities of wheat. This radical change in the conditions of farming should prepare all interested in agriculture to adapt themselves to changes.
