FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10 1881.
FIIOM one cud of the Province el On-
tario to another there has Kine up a
Tory hell against the disloyalty of the
Reform Government under Hon. Oliver
Mowat, for the course it has pursued in
standing up for the rights of Ontario on
the boundary question ant the disallow-
ance of provincial logislalteiu.ua ilio part,
of Sir John Macdonald. The loyalty
howl is a;wrys the Tpry refuge in
time of need, and when they have no
argument to back up their positiou. On
the 3rd of March. 1881, Mr. W. R.
Meredith and all his supporters, with
one exception, voted in favor of a 'no-
tion in the Legislature, setting forth the
claims of Ontario, on the question of the"
boundary award. Inside of eleven
months Mr. Meredith and hia supporters
have made a complete change of fiont,
and, at the word from SirJohn Macdon-
ald, swallow their (notion of March 3rd,
1881, and denounce to -day what they
approved of when they voted their mo-
tion. The circumstances in connection
with the boundary award have not
changed; Mr. Meredith and his -followers
have.
A WEEK or two ago, the reporter
the London Adrertiser brevetted one of
the editors of THE SIONAL "Captain,-, af-
ter he had responded to the "Army and
Navy," at the Burns Anniversary at
Lucknow; on Wednesday lsaLan anomy-
mous correspondent to that journal gives

self would gladly make us a "Colonel',

no pinnacle of military eminence is be-

THE Conservative Association of Cen-
tre Huron:will merit at Seaforth to -day
(Friday' to nominate a candidate for
Centre Huron. The names of Mr. S.
Platt, of Goderich, and Dr. Coleman, ef
Seaforth, are tnenticiied its connection
with the candidature by those who
ought to know"the ropes." Mr. Platt is
spoken of as the fav,,i-ite, and having al-
ready '-stumped" the Riding twice, will
doubtless carry the convention. Centre
Huron is to be again contented ,by the
Tories in accordance with the instruc-
tions of Sir John, "Not to let any -Grit
constituency go by Acclatnation," and
not with the h •;••r ef capturing the
Riding.
THE Ontario /pis,ait4 n profess to be
eager to get all the correspondence
which has passed between the Local Ad-
ministration and the Dominion Govern-
ment un the Bouielary$ Award oyes -
tion. These communications aredoubtess
interesting, but not so interesting as
would be the reaiLng of the correspond-
ence between the D•,n,iinion Govefi•tlment
and the Local 4 il,position on the same
matter.
THE 1 Parliament opened
yesterday at Ottawa. The session pro-
mise. to be an important one, as it is
likely that a dissolution of the House
will follow after' the prorogation. The
boundary award and the disallowance of
Provincial legislation will receive due
o.nsideration at the hands of the Op-
position during the section.
A how days since rather a peculiar ■o-
cident happened on the farm of Mr. M.
Lomond near Fargnhsr. While Mr. L• -
mend, was threshing clover, a sheep
TRH under a barn door which had been
thrown over the temhting rod, and un-
noticed by anyperson, came in contact
with the revoving iron, which, becom-
ing entangled in the sheep's wool de-
prived the poor animal o,t its skin. in
order to end the suffering of the ,Beep,
one of the hands working around the
machine immediately cut its throat.
A hot debate has taken pleee in the
Ontario Legislature on the Boundary
Award question. The I:.nterntent has
expressed its determination not to allow
Ontario to be robbed of her territory,
and the Opposition is loyal tla the back-
bone in stionort of Si, John. ]fest

After discussing the peculiarities of
the present season, the causes and effects
of these p oculieritics, how the earth
passed through the tail of some nameless
comet and was thereby enshrouded in
complete darkness from 2 p. fit. till next
morning, how the Ades of the earth had
assumed a reverse position, to our mu-
tual edsAcati,in apd satisfaction, we
changed the topic to a less speculative
and more grovelling one.
"Can you tell ins the re ►ion why the
farmers is this district, who toil late and
early, raise fair crop., managetheir stock
well, exercise economy in every way, are
not getting along better, and have such
difficulty in meeting their liabilities T'
Here Was a loner, one, indeed, that
could net be answered in it few words in
spite of one's love of condensation.
How to frame a satisfactory reply to my
friend's question was to me a puzzling
task; rine that required sumo consider-
ation and analysis. -
'For our present purpose let us lay
aside obstacles that are exceptional or
peculiar, such as interest on mortgages,
etc., and deal squarely with drawbacks
that are common to every member of the
community, differing only in ' degree.
Let us also—omit the consideration of
section, township and county taxation,
as well as aid to higher education, for a
future review, and deal with small leak-
ages which conjointly snake a, large
drain on the farmer's picket; just as the
converging of numerous insignificant
streams make up the mighty river. I
have no doubt that you use a larre quan-
tity of coal oil during the year.
"Upon my word we do; you would be
surprised to learn the quantity of oil we
use from one end of the year tel the
other."
"Now let me relate to you that while
in conversation with a friend of mine
from the Sault, a roan of unquestionable
veracity, I was assured by him that the

An interesting paper by Mr. G. Baird,

clear that these concessions would fur-
nish you oil for fifteen cents per gallon.
The common price you say is 30 cents,
or double what it should be at a fair cal-
culation. When, therefore, you go to
buy a gallon of nil, you place the value
of it, fifteen cents, its one pocket and
another fifteen cents in the other pocket
as a bonus to the manufacturers, and
this bonus you bestow un the same indi-
viduals as often as you repeat the pur-
chase. Again, your grocery bill, I have
no doubt, is quite an item, too, in your
yearly expenditure. Now let us consid-
er, seriatim', the different articles which
constitute this bill, with theit respective
prices, and determine the amount of
bonus which you give un each purchase.
Well, then, according to your own state-
ment, you receive nine pounds of sugar,
instead of fourteen in former times, for
one dollar. A very simple caleelatiou
will reveal to you the fact that as .often
as you invest one dollar in eugat you just
get, avoiding fractions and awarding
yodall the consolation possible, sixty-five
cents worth; the balance of your dollar
you bestow on the manufacturers, prin-
cipally on that firm in Montreal. Per-
haps you are related to the members of
that firm." .

treal."
"All I can say, then, is that you are
very lavish of your money and generous
towards strangers end if I could take
the liberty of jedgiett of your diap.ei-

feel lees reluctant in paying this money
for a charitable purpose; but you most
remember it finds Mt way into the pock
eta of rich men who would scarcely corm -

"I liked that sermon, and I now wish you

persons in the congregation barer as
much as bowed to me during that time."
