Protection and Pork.
Tlae Conservatiye Government, in
1890, in pursuance of its policy of de-
veloping home industries, having found
. that the pork duties were insufficient
for the purpose intended -that is,
• securing the Canadian home naarket for
the Canadian hog raiser -increased the
duties on barrelled pork from 1 cent a
pound to le cents a pound, and on
smoked and cured meats and hams from
2 cents a pound to 3 centa a pound.
The effect was aeen at once. Thete
was an immediate a decline in the
quantity of barrelled pork and hams,
bacon, lard, etc,, imported, and a large
increase. in the quantity exported. In
1890 there was imported. for consump-
tion into Canada the following quan-
tities end values of hog products :-
Quantity. Value.
Rork, lbs 17,185,794 $ 832,358
Bacon and hams
lbs • . 4,353,653 324,927
Lard, ;bs 4,881,786 301,006
26,421,263 $1,458.286
In 1893, after the duty had three
years to show its effoets, the imports
for consumption were as follows :-
Quantity. Value.
Pork, lbs 3,826,546 $ 272,460
Bacon and hams,
lbs 670 115 76,008
Lard, lbs 146,885 12,620
4,679,486 $361,0,88
The exports of hog products, on the
• other hand, show a large increase.
Here axe figures for 1890 :-
Pork, lbs 238,889 $ 14-,281
Bacon, lbs 7,235,336 607,495
Hams, Ibs 254,746 23,584
In 1893 the
ing figures 't -
Pork, lbs....
Bacon, lbs
Hams, lbs...
7,730,971 $645,360
exports show the follow -
903,022 $ 81,893
.. 17,288,311 1,830,368
• . 903,022 81,945
19,094,335 $1,994,214
That is to say, three years after the
Canadian farmer was given adequate
protection; the import of hog products
Mt° the country declined to less than
one-fifth of its former quantity, and the
exports grew to three times their old
volume.
The Montreal Board of Trade dealer-
-al in 1868 that the abrogation of the
Reciprocity Treaty with the United
States had started the Canadian cheese
factory industry, and given the Can-
adian trader an opportunity to ship his
goods to England.. So, in 1893, it is
seen that the imposition or a sufficient
proteative duty on hog products gave
the Canadian farmer encouragement
bhat enabled him to shut off foreign
competition and extend the market for
his products in foreign countries to a
very marked extent.
The returns of the Ontario Bureau of
1nduatries show that the number of
hogs kept by Ontario farmers increased
from 835,469 to 1,142,133 in 1894.
Protection pays the farmer as well as
the citizen.
Prices in other Lands.
Good horses can be had in the United
States at from $1 to $15 per head.
Cattle are a drug in many of the
States.
Corn has sold for 16 cents a bushel
last year.
Wheat, bought in the States back
from large centres, as low as 25e and
30c per bushel hot fall.
• In Australia wheat is 24 cents a
bushel.
Though prices are low in Canada for
what the farmer sells they are higher
than in any othet producing coutery ;
and what he buys is cheaper.
Therefore, in no land is the purchas-
ing power of a dollar so great as in
Canada.

As the poptiettion of the cities in-
creaee, the prism of feral produce goes
ue, and the oompetition of city indus-
tries miasee. the price of manufactures
to go down.
In 1861, the population of Montreal
Wae 90,000. The price a butter in
October, as quoted in the local papers,
was, for good, 12 cents to:14 cents ; for
ordinary, 9 cents to 10 mute. The
price of white refined sugar was 11 cents
to 12 cents,
In 1894 thepopulation of Montreal
was in the neighborhood of 295,000.
The price of butter in October, as
quoted itt the locat papers, uras, for
good, 20 mute to 21 cents; for ordinary,
16 to 17 cents. The price of white re-
fined sever is 41 cents to 4e cents.
As the city has grown, the pnce of
butter has gone up 80 per cent., and
the price of sneer has fallen 65 per cent.
In 1861 Canada had a tariff for rev-
enue ; in 1894 it has a tariff for protect-
ion.
The same state of affairs is shown by
comparison with triore recent dates
under free trade, In 1878 g
sugar sold at 9e to 9a cents
at 9 cents to 16 cent
In 1878 th
ter woul
a butter
•
Ise of a pound of but-
uy trom one to two pounds
gar. In 1894 it would buy from
4 to 5 pounds.
The same comparison holds good in
regard to the pieces of cotton goods.
These have fallen so much that the
money that evoold buy only one yard
under the free trade tariff for revenue
of 1878, will now buy two or more
yards.
NOTES AND COMMEN TS
The highest price obtained for On-
tario creamery butter in '94 was twenty-
four and the lowest a little over twenty-
three cents. The cost cf manufacture
was three and a half to four cents.
Even after a liberal gllowance is made
for the value of the milk used it would
seem as if there shou'd be profit in the
enterprise.
x x11
There are 325. cheese factories in the
district within the jurisdiction ot the
Dairymen's Association of Western
Ontario and about°, 152,000 cows are
drawn upon for the milk supplied to
these factories. In 1893, the product
of each cow, on an average, yielded a
little over .1334, and in some cases as
high as $65 was obtained from one
animal.

In his speech at the annual meeting
of the Canada Landed and National
Investment Company, President Blaikie
remarked on the steady decrease in the
rate of interest. He said there could
be no doubt that the day of high rates
of interest is gone, never to return, and
investors must make up their minds
that 5 per cent per annum is now the
maximum return that can be looked
for when coupled with undoubted secur-
ity. As mnney is the tool of traders,
few will regret that the high interest
stage has been passed,

What a great relief it must have been
to Sir Oliver Rowan when the collet
decided that the provinces had not the
power to prohibit the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors. [Sir Oliver,
while not posing particularly as a great
constibutional lawyer, has been wonder-
fully successful iu all his •contentions,
and must tow feel like shaking hands
with himself when he remembees the
promises made to the country that he
would go just as far in passing prohib-
itory measures as the law would per-
mit. The matter will now be forced
upon the notice of the Dominion. Gov-
ernment. Neither political party will
take it up, however, and it will remain
an =settled question for years. In
the meantime, the temperance sentim-
ent is gradually spreading and what
was considered all right in the drinking
customs years ago would not be toter.

ior to all Others,
colors bear a relation to each other
something like that of the musical net*
and there is a harmony of eolors, analogous
to that of mualcal rounds. An • exquisite
tate in the combination of colors may be
the result of a nice perception of these
relations of remain' sounds. It is un-
quesionable that there are some combin--
atione of color which are universally
plee.aing, and others as universally dia-
agreeable,eadepeudently of any association�.
or acquired habits. To the cennoieseur
lover of colors, no More lovely or beautiful
sight can be presented, than the tastefu1-.
arrangement of over forty standard colors
of Diamond Dyes, and the One hundred
rich shades and tints which are produced
from them. Diamond Dye creme are
scientifically prepared, and when used
accordiog to directions in the home, the
