NOTES AND COMMENTS. The National Policy aims at keeping ourownmarkets for our own producers. • x Protection builds up industries and these create a demand for the farmers' produce. x + x A tariff should be maintained to keep out the products of cheap foreign labor. -i• i- These are only a few of the things done by the Conservative Govern- ment for the benefit of the farmer. • x Canada should work up its own raw materials, and allow nothing to be im- ported that canoe produced forherself. This is the object of the National Policy. • x Three men from Ottawa on their way to Milwaukee, Wis., were compel- led to return to this country by Im- migrant Inspector McGlogan, of De- troit. Two of the men claimed they were going to Milwaukee on a visit, while the other stated that lie had worked in that city: for the past four years, and had a child buried there. Customs Officer Drouillard took the evidence of the men and will forward it to the Canadian Government. All lesser political influences like the Catholic vote and the Orange vote will be swallowed by the bicyelevotewhich is growing up in this country. The bicycle vote has just fought a pitched battle with railway influence at Albany, and won. The railways agreed upon regulations depriving the bicyclist of his right to have his wheel checked just as Ins trunk was checked. The bicyclist united in an appeal to the Legislature, and the Senate and the Assembly by almost a unanimous vote answered the appeal with a law which compels the railway companies to carry bicycles as personal baggage. In order to cheer up Mr. Laaurier's unhappy followers, the Globe has de- voted a. good deal of space of late to dilating upon the brightness of the party's prospects in Manitoba and the North-West. Its observations do not seem to bane been altogether satisfac- tory, for the Winnipeg Free Press al- ludes to them as follows : — The Globe's zeal as a party organ is run- ning away with it. Outhere in West- ern Canada we may not be as wise as the Toronto paper. We think, how- ever, that we understand what our own interets are quite as well as it does; a large proportion of ns, indeed, will go further, and say better. But bettor or worse, or as much, we choose for ourselves, and we resent the impu- tation of the organ when it implies that we are fools for our pains," x + x Last week's riotous proceedings in Parliament, while disgraceful to Can- ada, were especially so to the Opposi- tion leaders, by whom in reality they were organized and conducted. That there is any precedent for them is al- together to be doubted. The nearest on record in this Dominion is that fur- nished in 1885, when the Liberals, smarting because the franchise law, then under consideration, proposed to spoil their conspiracy to defraud the electorate through the local voters lists .manipulated by the Provincial -Governments, thought they could wear it John Macdonald out, or talk him into his grave. But in that case the business of obstruction was conduct- ed with a degree of respectability al- together wanting in the present in- stance. There was less of calumny than prevailed during last week's ex- hibition, and although some of the iberals rehearsed voluminous ex- racts to spin out the time, nobody rought . in the Scriptures, as Mr. Charlton did the other day, to read hem kr the ribald amusement of Mr. Iartin? and Mr. McMillan. On the hole, there was very little slander, d no blasphemy. x An anti -treating law, such as that 'used in Ohio, Wright be enacted in :ntario and do match to stop the eon- ' ial drinking which ruins the men ho are best worth saving. Temper - /ice people ought to awaken to the uth that they can best serve their use by proceeding one step at a time, y lessening the opportunities for the anufacture of drunkards without espassing upon the privileges of those ho drink because they really want'to rink. The treating system should be bolished either by law or practice. aaiadians have no natural frugality protect them against the evils of treating habit.

DONE FOR THE FARMER.' CONTRIBUTED BY MAJOR R. R. Mo- LENTNAN, M. P., FOR GLENGARRY. There is nothingchatwill prove more clearly the oh';ti.on of a country than clearly. ▪ bus ess ...allures. In the year end- ing 30th ,, une, 1874, the last year that the Co• iservativepartywas responsible to t he country priorto 1878 thefailures -mounted to seven and a half million dollars. In 1875, the very first year wader Reform rule, the failures reached the highest amount in the history of the country, twenty-eight and a -half million dollars, nearly four times as. much as the year before. The lowest amount in any year during the regime was twenty-four millions and a half, and the average under Reform ad- ministration was twentysix and a half million dollars. In 1880, the first year in which the beneficial effect of the National Policy, inaugurated by the Conservative party, was felt, con- fidence was again restored in the country, and the failures were reduced to eight million dollars. Since that time, although Canada incommon with other countries, bas passed through a season of the greatest commercial de- pression the world has ever known, the average amount of the failures for the fifteen years has been only thirteen million dollars, as against an average of twenty-six and a half million dollars during the period in which the country was under Reform Government. In this, as in every other branch of the statistical records of the country, there is indisputable evidence that the policy of the Reform party was ruinously de- trimental to the best interests of the country. A similar result may be seen in the ''nited States, where the two great political parties are divided on much the same lines as regards their com- mercial policy as the Conservatives and Reformers in this country, In making the comparison it should be remembered that the policy of the Democratic party is Free Trade and tariff for revenue only, the same as that of the Reform party here. They made great promises before the elect- ion of 1892, just as the Reform party of this country did in 1873, andmuch was expected of them. They were elected on the strength of the benefits that were anticipated from the policy they bad promised to bring into effect, be- ing in this respect in exactly the same position as the Reform Government of 1874-78. The result wasthe same there as here. The failures amounted to only one hundred and eight and a. half million dollars in 1892, and the very first year the Democratic party, the party of free trade and tariff for res venue only were in power, the failured increased to four hundred andtwo and a half million dollars. There as in Canada,. under afree trade and tariff for revenue Government, in the first year afteethe affairs ofthecountrycame under the ir control, the failures increas- ed tofour timesasreticle astheywerethe year previous. Thepeople of theUnited States followed the same course as we in this country did in 1878; they took the first opportunity to elect a Republi- can majority in favor of protection to Congress and to the ;Senate. Confi- dence was again restored there as in Canada in 187e, and the number of failures was inunediately reduced and now amounts to no more than they did previous to the change above noted. County Councils. An order-in-councilhas been passed by theOntario Goyernmentappointing the following County Court Judges to di- vide the present counties into County Councils districts under section 28 of "the Act to reduce the number of County Councillors," passed at the recent session of the Legislature :-- Judge Jones, of Brant; Judge Wilkin- son, of Lennox; Judge Bell, of Kent; Judge Dean, of Victoria; Judge Senk- ler, of Lanark; Judge Creasor, of Grey; Judge Benson, of Northumber- land and Durham; Judge Horn, of Essex; Judge O'Brien, of Prescott and Russell, and Judge Doyle, of Huron. Judge Jones is named as chairnian. The aboye will form com- missions of tWO Judges each—two for the west and two for the east. Judges Jones and Creasor will di- vide ivide the Counties of Essex. Kent, Lambton, Huron, Bruce, Elgin, and Norfolk; Judges Bell and Horn the counties of Oxford, Waterloo, Brant, Wentwortir,Haldimand, Peel, Halton, and Grey; Judges Jones and Doyle the counties of 'Wellington, Simcoe and Dufferin; Judges Bell and Doyle the comities of Middlesex, Perth, Lincoln and Welland; Judges Dean and Benson the counties of York, Ontario, Peterboro', Hastings, Len- nox and Lanark; Judges Wilkin- son, and Senkler, the counties of Nor- thumberland, Durham, Prince Ed- ward, Victoria, Leeds and Grenville, Frontenac, Prescott and Russell; and Judges Dean and O'Brien, the coun- ties of Carleton, Stormont, Dandas, Glengarry a n d Renfrew. Judge Senkler, of Lincoln, and Judge Mac- kenzie, of Lambton, are appointed to act in the place and stead of any of the Judges who from any cause may be unable to act on the commission. General Eiections. Ottawa, April 21.—(Special)—The nominations for candidates in the com- ing general elections for the Commons have been fixed for Tuesday, June 9, and the elections will take place on Tuesday, June 16. By universal consent Sir Charles Tupper will be Premier, and when he takes hold a considerable change in the personnel of the Ministry may be expected from Ontario. A well-in- formedpolitician saidto-night he would not be surprised if Chief Justice Mere- dith, Hon. Geo. A. Kirkpatrick, Col; Tisdale or Hon. Peter White were brought in, while from Quebec the names of Sir A. Lacoste, Sir' Hector Langevin; Lieut. -Governor Chapleau and Provincial Secretary Pelletier, are mentioned. Some politicians incline to the belief, that neither Lieut. -Gov- ernor Chapleau or Chief Justice Mere- dith will enter Federal politics until the school question is disposed of. As. for Hon. Peter White, it is generally conceded that he could only accept a or tfoli t o with the school pool o is the P policy of 1 f 3' i Government modified. The name of ' Mr. Hugh John Macdonald finds great acceptance in Conservative circles, in the event of Mr, Daly retiring. Mr. Macdonald, however, is known to be reluctant to re=enter politics. The Canadian Government has pro- tected the products of the farm from outside competition,preserved and built up abomemar17%tworth many millions of dollars annually, arranged the tar - riff so that the necessaries of life are nearly all admitted free, whilst the taxation on food and animals which the [farmer raises himself and which he does not require to purchase if he does not wish to, is imposed for his protection so that he virtually pays no tax on necessaries, 'while the average duty on luxuries and articles of volun- tary use is 50p. c., thus making the tax on the farmer as light as possible while the rich man has to bear the burden and pay about eighty-five per cent of the taxes. Out of the revenue raised in this way the Government has constructed railways and canals at a large cost, in order toprovide facilities to enable the farmerto get his produce to market as cheaply as possible, while in the seyeral states of the union and of other countries this is done by direct taxation. In addition to this the Govern- ment is doing what it is not for any other industry :—By establishing ex- perimental farms at a large cost, on which experts are made to test what are the best grains, grasses and fruits to grow, how they can best be grown, by what process of tillage and by use of what manures, what are the best classes of stock to raise, and how they can be earliest and cheapest fitted for the market? How best cheese and butter can be produced,what grades of cattle are best fitted for this purpose and what are the cheapest and best foods for such cattle? It sends out free sample packages of grasses and seeds to farmers throughout tlx country to enable them to test new grains, grasses, &c., for himself, and see wkich are the best suited far this soil. It employs experts to ascertain dis- eases and inspect pests which affect the farmers' crops and live stock and what are the best remedies and the best preventative for them. It publishes reportsandl0 bulleties of the work done which are scut to every farmer who asks, without charge. It establishes experimental dairy stations throughout the country and sends around travelliug dairies to show what appliances are needed and what course should be followed to obtain products of the highest grade. It makes purchases of these high grade products, sends agents to Eng- Iand and elsewhere, to sell them, to advertise their quality and enhance their market price. It establishes quarantine and em- ploys agents to prevent the spread of contagious diseases in live stock. In order to place Canadian butter on a better footing in the British market, special shipments .are made under the direction of the Dominion Government and sold under the most favorable conditions so that the fact has been established that Canadian butter can successfully compete with the finest grades of the product of the chief dairying countries of Europe. There is now every proal;ect of the butter trade of Canada becoming as great a source of profit to the farmers as the cheese trade. This is altogether due to the wise action of the Dominion Government, and Mr. Deebyshire, president of the Ontario creamery Association and ex -President of the Outaro Dairymen's Association, and others prominentlyconnected.with the dairy industries have acknowledge in the strongest: possible terms the great value of the service thus rendered to the farmers of the country. Mr. Derbyshire says :— `•The Govern- ment could not of wished for a more splendid justification of its action than the results which have farmed. Our butter was introduced into eheEnglish market, and its superior quality became known. The old country buyers soon learned that Canada could supply the finest quality of creamery butter de- manded,—and on the English market it is the very best they want and are willing to pay for, Professor Robert- son managed the whole business very skilfully, and last year's yenture end- ed by costing the country very little— a small outlay, indeed, for the opening up of such a magnificent new market. If it bad not been for what the Domin- ion Government did, the butter mak- ing business would have flattened out and everybody connected with it would have been discouraged. It would have been disastrous. But now our butter has established itself as firmly on the English market as our cheese has already established itself." Steps are now being taken to do the same for the cattle trade by arranging for the shipment of chilled beef to be placed in the hands of leading dealers throughout Great Britain and labelled as'Canadian Beef.' By this means itis proposed to establish the special quality of our beef, and create a'special demand for it. $300,000 will he appro- priated for this purposes and thercecan be no doubt whatever of the success of the undertaking. Provision is also be- ing made for increased cold storage on the Canadian steamship lines in order that our farmers may have ample facilities to take full advantage of the important trade that will thus be es- tablished. Engineer Kemp, of the Winnipeg waterworks, was killed on Wednesday by falling into the big flywheel. Micheal O'Neil, about 70 years of age committed suicide at Port Hope Wed- nesday by walking into the lake. In- sanity was the cause of the act. Pain from indigestion, dyspepsia, and too hearty eating, is relieved. at once by taking one of Carter's Little Liver Pills immediately after dinner. Don't forget this. News has reached Montreal of the death of E. H. King, aged 68 years formerly general manager andforsomo pears presidentof the Bank of Montreal. He had been living in England since his retirement from active business in 1893.. He died red Tuesday Oarlo where he went for his health.

Cresswell, of Tuckersmith, left on Thursday for South Dakota, where he is employed with his uncle in the ran- ching business. James Smillie, of Lambton, paid a visit to friends in Kippen last week, returninghome on 1llonday, taking back withim the fine stock horse "General Gordon." .A. kindly spirit was shown recently by Goderich citizens, in making a con- cert, clearing $80, and handing it over to an excellet t family, who had last a child, and suffered terribly from diphth- eria. Mr. John Common has sold bis farm on the ellth concession of McKillop to his neighbor, William McKay, for $3,500. This farm contains 75 acres, with good frame buildings, and is cheap at this figure. This gives Mr. McKay a farm of 150 acres. On Tuesday, one of the earliest sett- lers of Grey passed beyond the great divide, in theperson of James McKelvy of Ethel. He settled in the early days ori a farm one half mile east of Ethel, and resided there until his family had all grown up and gone to do for them- selves. One by one the pioneers of our country are being removed by the hand of the reaper, Death, and it now becomes our painful duty to record the death of Mr. Charles Lovett, sr., of Summerhill, which :took place on Saturday the ISth inst., at midnight, at the ripe old age of eighty years. The deceased had been ailing for several years from affections of the stomach. On Monday eveningMrs. D. Denman of Brussels went out to the well for a pail of water, and while there she heard her four year Bold daughter scream, and on going to find the cause, she found the child's clothing in flames, and before she put the fire out tele child was so badly burgled that no hopes of recovery were held out by the doctor, and about 10 p. m. death put an end to the child's sufferings. It is not known how the clothing caught fire. Mrs. James Scott, jr., of Roxboro, on Friday morning, passed. away. Mrs Scott had been confined about twelve days previously, but seemed to be gett- ing along remarkably well. She be- came suddenly ill, ane, despite all that medical skillcoulddofor her, sbepassed away. She was a young woman, being 27 years of age, and had only been married about eighteen months. She was a daughter of John Campbell, of McTCiUo . On Wednesday morning last, the death of Mrs.. Alexander Mustard, of Brncefield took place. Her death was e very sudden oue. It seems that Mr. Mustard got up about 5 o'clock that morning, ancl, after lighting the fire, went out to the barn to attend to the stock. When he returned to the house be was surprised to find that his wife was not yet up. Upon going to the room, his feelings may be more easily imagined than described, upon finding that she was still in death, and had apparently been dead for some time. She was a daughter of Mr. John .1%etehen, of Stanley, and was 40 years of age. She leaves a family of six children, the youngest being only about six months old. We see from the legal intelligence in the Toronto papers, that the action has been decided in favor of Mrs Han- nah. The action was brought by John Beattie, the new assignee of the Han- nah estate, to set aside the sale of the two farms in Tuckersmith, made by J. C. Smith, the former assignee of the Hannah estate, to Mrs. Hannah. The farms were first offered for sale by public auction, but no one would pay the amount of the encuumbra aces agr;:inst the places. Subsequently, Mr. Smith, with the consent of the inspec- tor of the estate, sold the farms to Mrs. Manual,, and this action was to set aside the deed of the farms to Mrs. Hannah. The judge dismissed the action, on the ground that the whole transaction was open and above board, and that the estate of John Hannah lost nothing by the sale to Mrs. Han- nah. lie Wants Others To Know.

Miss Archer, an estimable young lady of Lambeth passed away with typhoid fever. Several other members of the family are in a serious condition, and the death, under the circumstance, is particularly sad. The family and friends have the sympathy of the en- tire community. A happy event which always creates an excitement in social circles took place on Wednesday evening, at the residence of Mr. Robt. Armstrong, of Harpley, when Miss Jane Eagleson was united in marriage to Mr. John Paxman, one of our prosperous young farmers, in the presence of a large as- semblage of friends and relatives of the contracting parties. An old and respected citizen of Park- hill died the other evening in the per- • son of Mr. John Bremner. He had nearly reached the age of 82. For some years he has been an invalid. Mr. Bremner was one of the pioneer settlers of EastWilliams,having in the early days of the township taken up a bush lot on the 14th con. About 25 years ago he moved to Parkhill, where he has since resided. The residents of the 15th con., East Williams, were startled the other afternoon by the suicide of Miss Mary Mcisaac, the,handsome and talented daughter of John Mclsaac, one of East Williams' oldest and most respected farmers. The young lady was 25 years of age, and no reason can be assigned - Science is " knowing how." The only secret about Scott'. Emulsion is years of science.

Mrs. Twaddle, wife ofMr. Twaddle, of Ailsa Craig, died on Tuesday, aged. 77. She was the second daughter of the late Robson Hord, Esq., of Hexam, Northumerland county, England, and married William Tweddle at that place in 1815. In 1854 Mr. Tweddle with his family came to Canada, and shortly afterwards settled in McGillivray town- ship, where they remained until Mr. Tweddle retired, and purchased his present residence in Ailsa Craig. Geo. F. Robins of St, Marys, is now manager of the Star Photo Co. of Wingham. Master John Fraser of Mitchell had one of his arms broken on Tuesday by a fall from a beast that he was riding. The days of spring shows are about numbered. In St. Marys last Thursday the attendance was small, and the number of entries was small. Richard Long, of Listowel, has sold his farm, lot 5, 12th concession, •Wel- lesley, to Wm. J. Elliott, of Wallace, taking in part payment for same the stallion "Woodland King." .A. committee waited on the St. Marys council the other evening and urged that a system of water -works be constructed for the . town. A com- mittee was appointed to take up the subject. The Keeler boot and shoe business in Mitchell has been bought by John Gillespie of Hibbert, son of the late Jas. Gillespie of Cromarty. Mr Gilles- pie will take possession of the busi- ness on Thursday, April 23rd, and will retain Mr. Keeler in the repairing department for the time being. At a recent meeting of the directors of the Listowel Rink and Park com- pany, it was decided to call a general meeting of the shareholders on Mon- day night, 27th hist., for the purpose of appointing liquidators and inspec- tors and taking such other proceed- ings for immediate liquidation as may be deemed expedient.: A special session of the Perth County Council was held Wednesday to con- sider tenders for the House of Refuge, to be erected at Stratford. Nearly 50 tenders were received, and that of McBeth Bros., of Strathroy, for $14,- 268, being the lowest, they were award- ed the contract. However, after the council had adjourned, it was discover- ed that 14IcBeth Bros. tender did not include heating, as called for, so that the matter is still in abeyance. Another case of mysterious disap- pearance came to light Monday noon. Jessie Hutchinson, of Stratford, Ont., went to Port Huron seven weeks ago. She left a large satchel, containing all her clothes and valuables, in a drug store, stating that she would be back in an hour. Since then she bas not been heard from, and her satchel is at police headquarters uncalled for. Her parents in Stratford were inform- ed of her disappearance. They have not heard from her since. she left for Port Huron. A very interesting event took place at the home of Val. Paulin Fullerton on Tuesday of last week. Two of his daughters were married by the Rev. J. H. Wagnes, of Sebringville, to two worthy young men, in the presence of nearly one hundred' invited guests. Miss Louise was married to Adam Wiley, and Miss Kate to John Saakell. The presents to both brides were very numerous and pretty, and showed the veryhighesteemlwh ichinthetwoyoung ladies were regarded by their large circle of friends. At a well attended meeting held at Fullerton Corners on Tuesday after- noon of last week, A. R. Walker tendered his resignation as the Patron candidate in the coining election, and Jas. A.. Donald, the former candidate of the order, was unanimously put in nomination by the united elements present. The meeting was largely grade up of members of the P. P. A. order and dissatisfied Orangemen, with president Mountain of thePatron order presiding. There seemed to be some dissatisfaction over the' change recently made at the Downie meeting when Mr. Walker was substituted for Mr. Donald; also as Mr. Walker did not covet the position, he readily with- drew on becoming aware of this feel- ing. It wase ; ' d cided by the Cabinet Sat- urday to prorogue Parliament on Thnrsdaynext and dissolve on Friday, when the dates oft e h electionsw ill be announced. It " is thought ntim I that nomi- nations will be held on the llth June and polling on 18th. There was an impression ,,that. the election would take place at the end of 1VIay, but Most members agree that the middle of June,, between the seasons of seed- ing and.haying, is the best time.
