ceutly been erected in tho neighboring
`.:township of 131aushaard, on the graves
reed leading to 8t. Ma1•ys, just a few
!•oils .vest of the corporation limits:.
There is no toll gate ou the east. A.
t.trtuer on the west side takes et load of
woad into the towu, arid has to pay ten
omits toll upon it. When he has ar-
rived on tate market, he finds another
farmer, one from the eastern side of
the town. Both must sell their woad at
the some. prie,.., say $2 per cord, admit-
ting time qualL'jj to be equal. Now, tho
tresterll farmer has paid out ten cents.
Theo he only in fact receives fur hie
load $1.00. The eastern farmer has
paid no toll, having uo toll gate to pass
through, and receives $2 for his load.
Is not tins as clear as the sun at noonday
mei that the producer and not the paroles
her of that wood pays the duty p Now,
against—WE have no market fees in Ex-
frter.'hay that the farmer receives $1
per bushel for his wheat. For a hun-
dred bushels he then has $1100. Sup-
pose we establish market fees. Do the
farmers thiuk the buyers would give
their price and pay the fees too ? Not
at all, That fee would come out of
the farther himself, and the putting on
of those fees would take the amount of
the fee from each load.
Now we shall give a case which al-
most.every farmnerin this neighborhood
is !acquainted with. They know it to
be true. There is no theory about it.
It is practical, and cannot be got
around by sophistry. Two years ago am
farmer, a Iteforuier too, in Usborue,, a
mile or two from Ex ter, had one of
the best heavy draught teams iu the
Connty of Huron. They attracted the
fancy of a Yankee horse dealer. He
went to, buy them. One of theme atni-`
mals, by the way, was a rnare,,the'oth•
er a gelding, the latter being worth in
• the owner's estimation, w40 snore than
than the mare. After l'oohing at the
team and satisfying himeelf that they
were what he wanted, the Yankee' saki:
"I'll give you 6180 for your horse,
and $200 for our mare.. Will ;that
do ?"
-"Why, no,*";eaid the farmer. .."That

There is another idea in the last ex-

boldly and plainly in view. 'The Am-

the most certain means of securing that
end if the people of Canada unwisely
persist in allowing them to central our

to the fact that onr markets are tribut-

they do not produce enough for their

Ise.; land, but &eland has not yet
placed a tariff on their geode. But
the most utterly mlritrutllful ,assertion
he made was that there is no deprt's-
tiou in Canada, none in the County of
lluron�. Many an ineredmous smile
flitted across the couutenancee of the
people as he uttered this bush. He
)ext attempted to prove that the pro-
lneer pays the duty. but made a very
had familure ; in fact he would have
.lone butter not to have meutioued it.
tlr. Greenway may not have been a
very .acceptable mlan to the party, but
at all events, he ttnderetood the trade
lue:.tion better than the present candi-
date. After a very feeble speech he
took his seat.
Mr. Porter's reply was masterly, lo-
gical and convincing. He showed that
the fatrmers were injured by the com-
petition of Yankee farmers. and quoted
from the Trade and Navigation Re-
turns to prove that Canadian farmers
received more for their grain sent to
l�ngland than for that sent to the
Uuited Crates. This proves their pro-
tective duty injures us. He took three
or four articles and the prices than
were obtained in 1877, and showed
that the amount of time Yankee duty
over the Dost of transportation to Eng-
land almost exactly measured the dif-
ference in price. This also proves that
the producer pays the ditty. IIis reply
to Mr. Cameron's theory that the con-
sumer pays the duty was clear and
convincing, and only those who won't
be convinced contend that he did not
completely demolish the • very frail
strnoture which Mr. Cameron had
built up. He showed that the carry-
ing trade would not be injured by the
imposition of an increased duty, for all
time grain could pass through Canada
in bond on the way to the seaboard,
and closed a speech of an hour and a
quarter's duration amici lend applause.
Mr. Cameron replied, but without ef-
fent, and launched out into tlme,mazes of
finances in -which he made several ghtt'
lug misetatenieuts.. At every meeting
hitherto held, he had refused Nr.
Porter the right of speaking as often as.

the Anglin inadvertency, the Foster:
contract, auti his own >zorruptiou. But
perhaps it was to his interest to keep
dark on these very shady traimsactions.
This speech was even worse than the
one at Exeter, and the wonder is that
31r. Porter could find it in hie heart to
speak against hint. But 11e did, and
carried the audience completely with
him, and excited the iuterest of the
farmers on the trade question. That
theyare begiuning to realize their true
position, std the injustice of the com-
petition of the American farmers is
evidenced by the very patient and at-
tentive hearing they give 31r. Porter,.
and the questions asked him by the
farmers at the conclusion of his speech
all of which he answered to their entire
satisfaction. Itir. Cameron replied,
but his speech was so contradictory,
weak and ineffective, that Mr. Punter,
although his supporters were vastly
in the majority ; in the proportion pos-
sibly of 3 to 1, did not deem an
answer necessary. The meeting dis-
persed about eleven o'clock, and if we
are not very, very far astray in our cal-
onlations, the people of that neighbor-
hood will vote almost in a body for Mr.
Porter. There were dozeus of farm-
ers present who iutend to support Mr.
Porter who never gave a Conservative
vote in their lives. This is the case in
every part of the riding.
