Farmers in other distriets have overcome some of the diffi- culties and have formed joint. Stock Com- panies, and built flour mills to do their own gristing and chopping. It has been done in other places, surely it can bo done here. There is no better plaae in either counties for a Farmers' Mill than Kirkton, The question now comes will it pay ? It has paid at Nottawe, Lochalsh, Asprey, in Ashlleld township, and a number of other placee where farmers have built and are operating mills under the control of a Board of Directors, and are giving the best of satisfaction. And from reports they publish the farmers save from 4 to 5 lea of flour and from 3 to 4 lbs bran and shorts on every bushel of wheat ground, and 1 to 2 cents per cwt on chop ; and thus in nee year would amount to a big item, Now also take into consideration the time you spend. the wear and tear, and ex posse of travelling 8 to 12 utiles to a Mill with grista as at present. It would be a saving to the average far- mer, at least calculation, 825 a year, if there was a Farmers' Grist Mill et Kirk - ton, And it 300 farmers which is not near ly the number that would receive benefit from the mill would save 825 each, that would amount to the sum of $7,500 a year Sharehollere in the mills mentioned Lie. receiving double the interest on money in- vested than if deposited in the Savings Banks. The Farmers' Mill in the town- ship of osprey is said to make a clear pto- fit of $1,500 a year. The mill tat Loch alsh has to be run night and day to do the required amount of work And now fellowdarmere can you answer that question, "will it pay ?' Fnrmora' Mille make one straight grade of flour, and one only, and that first class This thing of making 2 or 8 grades of flour o. S. of farmer's wheat is a thing of Y n' i,.hatching audio&theringright down es. But since farmore have started mills of their own, this chicken is getting plucked, and ere long will be strip. ped of its deceptive plume. Who will snake a move and call a public meeting to discuss the building of a mill ? A Joint Stock Company could be formed with a ea',i�tal stock of any 87,000 or $S,000 in shares ff 00 or 825 each. The mach. nrory of n ,i0 or 50 barrel mill Dan be put in for 84,000, anal the mill itself can prob- ably be built for $2,000, What do you think of the undertaking ? Let ua boar from you at once, and if possible get to work at an early date. Yours etc., Ussolt;\s FARMER. You hardly realize that it is medicine, v hen taking Carter's Li tle Liver Pills: they are very small; no bad effects; all troubles from torpid liver aro relieved by their nee.

WAsuneorox, Dee. 7.—In beginning his message, the President says: -In submit- ting my annual message to Congress I have great satisfaction in being able to say that the general conditions affecting the com- mercial and industrial interests of the United States are in the highest degree favourable. It is true that the market prices of cot- ton and wheat have been low. It is one of the unfavorable incidents of agricul. ture that the farmer cannot produce upon orders. I believe that the' protective system, which has now for something more than thirty years continuously prevailed in our Legislature, has been a mighty instr'u- went for the development of our national wealth. flowing Sea Treaty. A treaty, providing for the arbitration of the dispute between Great Britain and the United States as to the killing of seals in the Behring 'Sea, was concluded on the 29th of February laet, This treaty was ac- companied by an agreement prohibiting pelagic sealing pending the arbitration, and a vigorous effort was made during this season to drive out all poaching seeders from the Br:bring Sea. Six naval vessels, three revenue cutters and one vessel from the fish commission, all under the command of Commander Evans, of the navy, were sent into the sea, which was systematically patrolled, Some seiz- ures were made, and it is believed that the cutch m the Behring Sea by poaohera amounted to less than 500 seals, It is true, however, that in the North Pacific) , while the seal herds were on their way to the pass between the Aleutian islands, a very large number, probably 35,000, were taken. The existing statutes of the United States do not restrain onr citizens from taking seals in the Pacific) Ocean and per- haps shonld not, unless the prohibition eau be extended to the citizens of other ructions, I recommend that power be given to the President, by proclamation, to pro- hibit the taking of seals in the North Pad - fie by American vessels in ease, either as the result of the findings of the tribunal of arbitration or otherwise, the rostrainte can. be applied to the vessels of all countries. Canadian Government's Proposals. During the past year a suggestion was received through the British minister that the Canadian Government would like to confer es to the possibility of enlarging upon terms of mutual advantage to the commercial exchanges of Canada and the United States, and a conference was held at Washington, with Mr. Blaine acting for this Government, and the British minister at this capital and three members of the Dominion Cabinet acting es commissioners on the part of Great Britain. The confer- ence developed the fact that the Canadian Government was only prepared t o offer to the United States, in exchange for the con- cessions asked, the .Admission of Natural Products. The statement was finally inado that favored rates could not be given to the United States as against the mother coun- try. This admission, which was foreseen, necessarily terminated the conference upon this question. Tho benefits of an exchange of natural products would bo almost wholly with the people of Canada. Some other topics of interest were considered in the conference, and have resulted in the making of a con- vention for examining the Alaskan boun- dary and the waters of Passamaquoddy bay, adjacent to Eastport, Maine, and in the initiation of an arrangement for the protection of fish life in the coterminous and neighboring waters of our northern border. The controversy as to tolls upon the Welland Canal which was presented to Canada at tho last session by special mss • sago having failed of adjustment, I felt constrained to exercise the authority con- ferred by the Act of July 26, 1892, and to proclaim a suspension of the free use of St. Mary's Falls Canal to cargoes in transit to parts in Canada. The Secretary of the 'Treasury established such tolls as were tl..ougbt to be equivalent to the exactions unjustly levied upon our commerce in Canadian Canals. 11, as we must sup- pose, tho political relations of Canada and the proposition of the Canadian Goverment are to remain unchanged a somewhat radical revision of our trade re- lations should, I think, be made. Our re- latives must beintimate, and they should be friendly. I regret to say, however, that in many of the controversies, notably those as to the fisheries on the Atlantic, the sealing interests on the Pacific, and the canal tolls, our negotiations with Great Britain have continuously been thwarted or retarded by unreasonable and unfriend- ly objections and protests from Canada. In the matter of tho canaltolls, our , treaty rights were flagrantly disregarded. It ie hardly too much to say that the anadian Pacific and other railway lines whieh parallel our northern boundaries re sustained by commerce having either is origin or terminus, or both, in tho- nited. States. Canadian railroads °orn- ate with those of the United States for C is U p our traffic and Without . the Restraints of Our interstate commerce act. The oars pass almost without detention into and out of our territory. The • Canadian Pacific railway brought into the United. States .from China and Japan via British Colum- bia, during the year ending June 30, 1802, 23,239,659 pounds of freight, and it car- ried from. the United States to be shipped to China and Japan, via British Columbia, 24,068, 346 pounds of freight. There were also shiPped from the United States over this road from eastern ports of the United to our Padifio po:ts duringthe same year 13, 912, 073 pounds of frieght, and there were received over this road;at the United_ States eastern ports from ports on the Pacific coasts 13,293,315 pounds of freight, Mr. Joseph. Nimmo, .`jr-, former chief of the Bureau of Statistics, when before the Senate Committee on relations with Can - da, April 26, 1890, said that "the value f goods thus transported between different Dints in the United. States across Cana- ian territory probably amounts to $100,- 00,000 a year. Of Course Not. Ther• is nu dispQAticalt on the Pa t os< the people or Government of the United States to interfere in the smallest degree with the political relations with Canada, That question is wholly with her own peo- ple. 1t is time for us, however, to con- sider whether, if the present state of things and trend of things is tie continue, our interchange upon lines of land trans- portation should not be put upon a differ- ent basis and our entire independence of Canadian canals and of the St. Lawrence., as an outlet to the sea, secured by the con- struction of an American cantyl around the Falls of Niagara and the opening of ship. communication between the great lakes and of our own. sea ports. We should not hesitate to avail ourselves of our great natural trade advantages. We withdraw the support which is given to the railroad and steamship lines of Canada by a traffic that properly belongs to us, and no longer furnish the earnings which lighten the otherwise crushing weight of the enor- mous public subsidies that have been given to them. The subject of the power of the Treasury to deal with this matter without further legislation hag been under iliacus sion, but circumstances have postponed a conclusion. It is probable that a consid• eration of the propriety of ,a Modification or Abrogation of the article of the treaty of Washington relating to the transit of goods in bond is involved in any complete solution 4o1 the question. The construction of the Can- adian Pacific Railway and the establish- ment under large subventions from Can- ada and England of fast steamship service from Vancouver with Japan and China seriously threaten our shipping interests in the Paoific, This line of English ateamers receives, as is stated by the Commissioner of Navigation, a direct subsidy of $400,000 annually, or $90,967 per trip for thirteen voyages, in addition to some farther aid from the Admiralty in connection with contracts under which the vessels may be used for naval purposes. The competing American Pacific mail line under the Aot of March 3, 1591, receives only *6,359 per round trip, Efforts ]rave been making within the last year, as I am informed, to establish under similar conditions a line between -Vancouver and some Australian port, with it view of seizing there a trade m which we have had a large interest. The Commissioner of Navigation states that a very largo per cent. of our imparts from Asia aro now brought to us Ey English Steamships and their connecting railways in Canada. With a view of promoting this trade, es- peeially in tea, Canada has imposed a dis- criminating duty of 10 per cent. upon tea and coffee brought into the Dominion from the United States. If this unequal contest between American. lines without aubsidy or with diminished subsidies, and the Eng- lish-Canadiau line to which I have referred is to continue I think we should at least see that the facilities for customs entry and transportation across our territory are nob such as to make the Canadian Netts a favored one, and that the discrimination as to duties to which I have referred, is met by a like discrimination as to the importa- tion of these artielee from Canada. No subject I think more nearly touches tho pride. the power, and the prosperity of our country than the development of onr mer- chant marine upon the sea. If we could enter into conference with other competi- tors, and all would agree to withhold Gov- ernment aid, we could perhaps take our chances with the rest, but our great oom- petitors have established and maintained their lines by government subsidies until they now have practically excluded us from participation. In my opinion no choice is left to us but to purbua, moder- ately ateleast, the same lines. When the reacting of the message was concluded 111r. Outhwaite (Dem. Ohio) an- nounced the death of his late colleague, Jno. G. Warwick, and asked that an ad- journment be had as a rnark of respect to the memory of the deceased. Congressman. Tho House adjourned. English Press Comments. Lor nor, Deo. 7.—In commenting on President Harrison's message the Morning Post says: "A perusal of Mr. Harrison's message suggests rather the dogged cour- age of a gladiator than the foresight of a statesman. It is singularly characteristic of his community that the retiring presi- dent finds its consistent with his position to indulge in a flourish of impotent menace against Canada." The Daily News says that much attention need not be paid to President Harrison's reference to Canada, The Standard says: "Not every one is privileged to vent his spleen in the form of a state paper. Dr. Harrison's message is not meant to be gracious. The warning to Canada is polite compared with the threat once hurled at Chili, but has flavor, nevertheless. - There is an unwelcome ambiguity in the reference to the Behring Sea matter. But it matters little what he says. Ichabod is written in every sentence. Tho Chronicle says: "Mr. Harrison's tariff remarks remind us of the school boy maxim, 'If you tell a lie tell a big un and stick to it.' It may now be regarded as certain that America will make the Nica- ragua canal and thus prevent France from reviving the Panama scheme." THE PANAMA CANAL. If the Doisserin Rill be Not Passed the Chamber Will Dissolve. Polus, Dec 7.—The Ministers have agreed regarding the Panama inquiry that a .distinct line shall be drawn between the powers of the judiciary and the legislature. The Panama committee will support in the Chamber of Deputies the Boisserin bill, which gives to the committee the -right to summon witnesses, to punish those who commit perjury or make libelous denounce- ments, or who refuse to give evidence, or who are guilty of contempt of the commit- tee. Tho bill also gives the committee power to, issue, Warrants for the;. searching of houses and the seizeirs of documents. If the Chamber of Deputies refuses to ac- cept modifications is. the measure the crisis will assume a most acute phase,' and it is highly probable that the Chamber will be dissolved: The National Prison Association, now meeting at Baltimore, is in favor of per- petual imprisonment for habitual crimi- nals, paupers and drunkards. The Pall Mall Gazette says that Judge Mathews, president of the Eviction Commission, has been recalled. The other day a man called on Mrs. Nathan'Jonee, of Tyendinaga township, and paid to that lady $20, the balance of a debt contracted by his father 50 years ago. The trustee pf the Duke of Sutherland has applied to the court for an injuno- tiot, to restrain the Dowager Duchess, his stepmother, from disposing of the family hairlootto. ALWAYS IN TaE LEAD ..
