Mr Henry Brown, of Chesley, who rae-.one of the leading. speakers at the rr4+oent 'Farmers' Institute meeting at The Lucknow. Sentinel Bruce County,Friday,November FIs# THE experiment of shipping to England Canadian eggs, which have been shut out of the United States by a duty of lid. per dozen, has beep very successful. The 12,000 doyen seat to London have been sold at from 9s. 6d. to 10s, per ten dozen, which will give the shippers a very fair profit. A trial shipment of live lobsters from Cs.nada to England will shortly be made with the view of opening up this trade, which is affected by the AN English ° company proposes to make a inili-poud of Lake.

There is enough of it to run many fae,to:ies, and the town of Sault Ste. Marie is expected to be filled with flour mills, pulp factories and workshops for the reduction of ores.

Then each has raised 1000 bushels of barley which they sell in the same market on the same day at the same price, says 75 cents. The American farmer -brings home his $750 but the Canadian gets back with oely $450, the McKinley man having again taken the ether $:i01) Th-eY then start ofFnext day and sell their pota- toes, 400 bushels each, for which they - get gay 50' cents„ per bushel.

The American gets home all right with his $100 in cash and `leis $100 in goods, but when the unfortun- ate 'Canadian gets to the line with his goods, minus the $100 cash,' he is again stopped by the Foster man who -pill not let him•„take them home until he has handed out $35. So that out of $200 worth of products with which he left home in the morning he gets home with.$65 Worth of gouda The other y $135• is what be has pain for being. a Canadian and living under "the o.d flag," and it is the same all through withevtrything he buys and sells down to a .head of cabbage for which he has !to take three cents less than his Republicans to the influence of the new tariff, which he regards "as the rockiest path to travel for public office." The people of the United States, he says, are in such a state that not even the most prosperous will stand . the addition of another feather's weight of tax. t was the most -unwise policy any party could pursue to take the stand of favoring an increase of the tariff when it is and has been apparent that' a reduction is what has been needed and wanted. " I think I saw what was c0171112g at -lea a,, st-my-acrrows- show that I pursued a wise course, and other Republicans knew only too well the inevitable consequence of the Mc- Kinley bill's adoption." THE following pertinent remarks from the Canada Presbyterian on a live sub- ject, we refer to the careful consider ation of the people of this county, and especially to the members of the county council. It says "One of the facts brought out by the Ontario Prison Commission should make every Ontario citizen hang his head with shame. It merican neighbor no matter.whether is as clear as expert .evidence can make prices be high or low, the commed,2.tj 1 anyEkingthat-in-thnity.. co, es -aged scarce or p pasty, these differences are against him every time. A few figures from the trade returns will show how utterly 'dependent the Canadian farmer is upon the American market. Last year we sold 17,767 horses, of these 17,277 were bought by the Americans and only 490 to the rest of the world ; of eggs . we sold ,14;000,000 dozens to the Americans end- only 17,000 dozens to all other nations ; of barley virtually our whole" export, 10,000,000 busbela found a market( Over the line ; out of 91,00,0 tons hay 82,0100 wenn to the States and 818,000 bushels of our potatoes find the same rna%ket. In short about one half we export goes to the other side and more than one half of all our buying is done in the American ne,rket. These example will give the Canadian 'farmer'some idea.of his position."
