AN UNTRUTHFUL ILLUSTAATION.
. The Cardwell Sentinel tells of a Re-
form farmer, who in selling lambs to a
Reform buteler up there, °told Min he
wanted more than $2 each, as • tho
buteher-was—lanying- for the American
market, and Iambs were high in New
-York, seege,Yeg,assaids.the „buteheerselees
I svill have to pay 60 cents, 'ditty on
each to get them arose the lines."
Then it seems " quail the farmer,
" that I, the producer, have to pay the
-duty," CertainlyTrepIlda the Initeher.
"Well," said the farmer, "it's all well
enough to support the party oe long as
it doesn't dost anything, as 111 your

is going to take 20.e -cents out of every.,
