WILL IT BE AN IMPROVEMENT?
The new County Councils Act found
few defenders a,naongst, our Huron
legislators during the debate on Mr.
,Geiger's motion last session, as report-
ed on another page. The only thing
that could be said on its behalf was
that perhaps it paight effect a saving
in the amount of the pay roll for each
session, but this it was argued, will be
more thau offset by the increased cost
for elections, and the disadvantages
which the DeW systena is certain to en-
tail from present appearances. As has
been argued before in these columns
a considerable reduction :of the mem-
bership, and a large financial saving,
could have easily been effected by rais-
ing the standard of electoral strength
entitling a municipality to a deputy -
reeve, and the advantages at the
County Council as a general educator,
would still have been as generally
available as at present, but now the
possibilities of a seat on the county
board. are greatly eontracted. An ar-
ticle in the last. number of the Cana-
dian Magazine points out other objec-
tions to the new system, and from this
we quote:
There is no doubt that a smaller
number of men could transact the
business of the County Council as
quickly and possibly as safely and.
well as the present number, provided
they had the necessary knowledge at
hand. It must not be forgotten, how-
ever, that a large part a the duty of
-each member of the County Council is
to bring to the council chamber his
quota of local knowledge of the needs
of the roads, bridges axidother matters
within the cognizance of the council.
as well as of the feeling and desirous of
the people in his locality. It is agreed
by all persons of experience in County
Councils that the actual business is
even at present, directed in each county
by a, few of the leadiug members. It
is equally well agreed that if they were
not informed by the less prorniuent
members of all the facts and opinions
necessary to be considered before de-
termining any course of action, that
they would of necessity be obliged to
go to the various localities and itc-
quaint themselves with these facts on
the ground. It is doubtful if anything
could be saved in the matter of time,
certainly nothing in the matter of ex-
pense, if this course werepursued; and
pursued it must be unless the more
dangerous course of proceeding with-
out information should be adopted.
The difficulty is that a considerable
part of the work a the CountyCouncil
is work requiring an immense amount
a legal information, and this cannot
usually be had by a few xnen without
each of them makes a special effort to
get it, while men in the immediate lo-
calitygather the information without
effort. It is a part of their everyday
life.
A trial of the new measure will best
reveal its defects, brit there appears to
be no dolibt that it is far from being a
great improvement, and the bill might
well have been referred to County
Councils for their opinions, before it
was so burridly passed through the
House of the last session.
meat market as well as drive every
butcher anywhere near the railway
out of the businessn Our local market
is of enormous value to our own
people, and our legislation should be
directed to conserve it.
Now take an illustration a the ad-
vantage of this policy in the matter
a pork. In 1890, when the duty on
this was a cent a polio& we imported
from the Miffed States about 20 1-2
millions of pounds of pork, valued at
about one and a half million dollars.
After that the duty was made 1 1-2
cents a. pound, and the result was that
in 1895 the itamortsfell to 6 1-4, or about
1-6 of what they were in 1895, but the
great effect was that it gave the home
market to our own people, who were
not only able to supply it, but to ex-
port an enornaous quanity in addition.
Thus in 1890, Canada exported •
niillion pounds of pork, valued atabout
38-4 million dollars, whereas, in 1895,
Canada exported. about 42 million
pounds, of the value of nearly four
millions of dollars. This is only one
illustration of the advantage to the
farmer, and to our own people of the
protective policy which is truly styled
a National Policy.
If we take Mr. Laurier we must
give all this up, for his success means
death to the protective policy. The
platform of the Liberal part.y says
protection must go, and the man in
the iron mask, Sir Richard Cart-
wright, says peotectioa must go; and
go it must if Messrs. Laurier and. Co.
get the reins of power.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Messrs. Geiger and Delbridge moved
that this County Council place on
record its disapproval of the new
County Council Act, as it is not of a
character to give all municipalities a
chance of being properly represented.
The motion caused quite a debate in
which the consensus of opinion was
against the new Act, but on a division
the motion was lost by what appeared
to be pretty nearly a party vote, 21 to
eta
The New York Tribune the other day
said straight out that the contest in
Canada was of material interest to the
United States, that it was tbe duty of
the United States Government to bring
any possible influenceito bear in favour
of the Liberals, and, intimated that
treaty to withdraw the banding privi-
leges to our railways: would. "beat
Tupper at his own game!" This is
the tone adopted by the press across
the line'without reference to party.
"We Ami
ericans"-they say n so
many words -"heartily wish to see
the Clauadiatt Liberalsin office, because
it will benefit the United States and
injure England.'
WHAT PROTECTION DOES.
The late Alexander Mackenzie said
in his speech at Clinton, Ont., on the
5th of July, 187'7, that protection to
farmers was a delusion, and that the
effect it wonld have upon such as are
farmers would be that they would get
nothing more for their produce, end
some people, like Mr. McKenzie,
still thought the farmer got no benefit
from protection, in fact many people
thought that the protection was all
for the manufacturer, the bloated
aristocrats Hying in cities and towns.
This was a great mistake. The far-
mer had his competitors just as the
merchant and manufacturer had.
The Canadian farmer had just about
the same thing to sell as the Arnerica,n
farmer living alongside of him. The
market for both for simple products
was abroad; now if the American
could dump his wheat, oats, hams,
and pcnie into onr market the result
would be to make fresh and strong
competitors for our own farmers, so
the 1•Ititiotial Policy says, "We will
protect our farmers against
that competition; we will give our own
• local market to our .own people," and
it is for this reason that you see oats,
• which we only take as an illustration,
selling at 25 cents a bushel in Mon-
treal and Toronto, while it is only sell
ing at 17 1.2 cents in Chicago. Let
_American oats in here without duty,
and youtvellevel the price of Canadian
oats at least five cents a bushel. Do
you want :that Then stand by the
policy that protects. Mr. Laurier,
with his unrestricted reciprocity,
would put all your American rivals in
on the ground floor with you. Where
'Would our Canadiarefarmers be then?
If uot swamped you would have to take
lower prices. for everything you pro-
duce. Now what peotection did our
tariff give the farmer? It gave him
20 per cent, on the value of live ani-
mals, a cent and a half per pound on
live hoe,e, two cents a pound on meats
in barrels, 3 cents.- a pound on fresh
meats, 5 cents a dozen on eggs, 3 cents
a pound on cheese, 10 ee,nts a bushel
on peas and rye, $2.00 a ton on hay,
10 cents a bushel on eats, 15
cents a bushel on wheat, 15 cents'
per baxael on wheat flour. Is this not
a great protecMon for •our farmers?
Would they like the Armours of Chic-
• ago to come in here and steal the

TRE EXETER TIMES.
County Council.
Below is a condensed sunarnary of
tleemiuutes:-Aresolution of sympathy
with Mr. John Sherritt, (a member of
the council) on the loss of his wife was
posse'd. It was moved. by Mr. Watson
and seconded by Mr. Cox, that three
valuators be appointed to equalize the
assessment of the various municipali-
ties, and that their report be accepted
for the term of five years. This motion
was lost. A by-law was passed pro-
viding that the nominations of candi-
dates,for reeves, deputy -reeves and
councillors in townships shall be held
on the last Monday but one in Decem-
ber. A motion was paesed to mem-
orialize the Legislature to amend a
certain statute which makes it com-
pulsory for county councils to offer a
reward for the capture and conviction
of horse thieves, and leave it optional
with the county to do this, it was
moved that the council place on record
its disapproval of the new county
council act, as it is not of a character
to giye all municipalities a chalice of
being properly represented; this motion
was lost. The council adjourned. to
meet on the first Wednesday in De-
cember next.
REPORT OF COMMITTEES.
SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
In reference to the petition of 5,
Caldwell, on behalf of .A., E. Oullis,
Manchester, asking to have bis pro-
perty in the police Irilla,ge reduced. to
$2000, the committee recommended
that this be done. This recommend
was afterwards reserved, and no action
to be taken until the petition of the
ratepayers be amended. Concerning
the proposed Stavely-Estate Hospital,
to be erected in the town of Clinton,
the committee recommended that the
county council make a reasouable grant
towards the maintenance of an hospit-
al,when such is built andfolly equipped
in the town of Clinton. In reference
to the incorporation of Hensall as a
village, eve recommend that petition
be granted, Messrs. Harold and Arnold
to take the census.
FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Finance Committee recommend-
ed payment of a lot of small accounts;
also House of Refuge accounts to the
amount of $2450.61. The Treasurer
was instructed to notify each muni-
cipality in arrears for the county rate,
to pay the same at once, Treasurer wasinstructed to advertise mortgages
on hand for sale, The rate necessary
to meet the estimated expenditure is
mills on the dollar; last year it was
1i rail's.
EQUALIZATION COMMITTEE.
This committee reported the equaliz-
ed assessment practically the same as
last year, (a slight change in local as-
sessment, not effecting the total) which
was, townships, $29,105,734; towns, $3,-
145,250, a total of $32,188,253, A mot-
ion to reduce the assessment of
Howick from $34 to $32 per acre was
lost, arid a motion to lower the equaliz-
ed assessment of Clinton by $75,000,
putting it on a rate similar to the ad -
mining towns, was introduced by
Reeve Kennedy and seconded by De-
puty -Reeve Cooper, but lost,
nousx os REFUGE COMMITTEEREPORT.
In reference to the Hospital ac-
commodation required at the House of
Refuge, the committee recommended
the acceptance of T. McKenzie's tender
for carpenter work, etc., at $1556; J.
K. K. Heyman's tender for brickwork,
etc„ at $2000; Harper & Lee's tender
for beating, etc., at $425, an i that H.
E. McBride superintend the construc-
tion of the work.
In council it was decided to defer
this work in V10IV of the proposed
Stavely.estate hospital, until authoriz-
ed by council.
REGISTRAR'S FEES.
The County Treasurer says: -With
reference to the Registrar's fees, the
Act was amended at a recent seselon
of the Legislature by a clause declar-
ing that the intention of the :former
amendments was that the surphis fees
should be paid to the County and not
to the Province. The amounts, there-
fore, paid to the Provincial Treasurer
are payable to the County Treasurer.
It also appears by a decision of Justice
Robinson that where a change. in
Registrars takes place the portion of
the year occupied by each Registrar is
to be considered as a full year. If this
be a correct rendering of the statute,
the amount payable to the county for
1895 is $360.02, instead of $1590.52, the
amount which would have been pay-
able had no change taken place in the
office. This section has also been
amended, and LOW the fees received
by the county will be the same whether
a change is made in the Registrars or
not.

Sir Charles Tupper In amber.
• The most magnificent demoustration
that has ever been accorded Sir Charles
Tupper in any rural district since he
first began the campaign was tendered
hint in Exeter on Friday. The riding
of North, Middlesex gave a royal. we
to the Premier, aod excelled it-
self in the enthusiasm it displayed over
his visit. It is safe to say that never
in the history of the town was there
such a remarkable deroonstration as
took place in connection with the visit
of Sir Charles Tupper, It wasonly on
Tuesday last that the party leaders
learned of the Premier's intended visit,
but such was their enthusiasm that
the demonstration was worthy of
weeks' of effort. An audience of inore
than 7,000 persons participated in the
welcome tothePreirner, his colleagues,
Dr, Montague, mullion. John Carling,
of London, and hundreds more would
have been known of earlier. Arches
of evergreens adorned with flags and
mottoes were erected along the inain
thoroughfare of the town, a.nd there
were few stores or dwellings that did
not display some decoration or other.
The procession, which escorted the
distinguished visitors front the station
to the race course, where the meeting
was held, was a most elaborate affair.
It contained a large body of uniformed
niounted horsemen, a lerigade of sonie
40 or 50 lads, each earlying a union
jack, the Reeve, and theTown Council,
and. au endless string of buggies and
carriages, while music was frtrnished
by four bands. The weather was
simply glorious, and better for such
ceremonies co uld nothave been desired.
From start to finish the demonstration
was a splendid success, and affords a
sure and certain augury of the return
of Mr. 'William Hutchins, ehe Liberal -
Conservative candidate far the riding,
on the 23rd of June.
To show the character of the de-
monstration it nifty be mentioned that
people came from a point as far dis-
tant as Goderich, thirty miles away,
while other towns which sent influ-
ential delegations were :-Olinton,
Seaforth, Mitchell, Craig, St. Marys,
Parkhill and Lump,
Sir Charles, was ascompaided by Dr.
Montague and. Hon. John Carling.:The
Premier was in excellent spirits, not-
WithStaUding the fatigue of the pre-
vious day, and spoke with much
pleasuie of the tremendous demon-
stration he had received in the Forest
City. The whole neighborhood. of the
station was occupied by a dense crowd,
who, as soon as they saw the Premier,
cheered, threw up their pats, waved
their handkerchiefs, and in other ways
evinced their great delight For some
time Sir Charles was kept bowing in
response to the plaudits of the popu-
lace. A, long procession accompeaued
the Premier to the place of meeting.
The procession was under the direc-
tion of Captain Howard and Mr. Thos.
Prior. Sir Charles rode in a carriage,
accompanied by Dr. Rollins, presi-
dent of the Exeter Conservative As-
sociation; L. H. Dickson, vice-presie
dent ; and Mr. W. H. Hutchins, the
Liberal -Conservative candidate. Im-
mediately following him were the car-
riages containing Dr. Montague and a
number of members of the Reception
Committee. The latter comprised :-
Messrs. E. J. Speakman, D. Mills, L.
Hardie, T. II. MeCalliont B. S. O'Neil,
M. J. White, Charles Sanders and. B.
Coughlin. „Members of the Town
Council were also in line, including
Reeve Bawden, Deputy Reeve T. B.
Carling, Councillors John Taylor,
Charles Snell, W. Treble, S. Sanders,
Tfeasurer ; and M. Eacrett, Clerk. Mr.
Priclham, Liberal -Conservative
candidate for South Perth, and Mr.
John Fox, of Lucan, president of the
North Middlesex Conservative Asso-
ciation, occupied a foremost place in
the procession. Sir Charles' carriage
was escorted by a body guard, con-
sisting of Dr. Etynclman and Messrs.
Isaac °ailing, P. L. Bishop and Herb-
ert Elliott. The sidewalk's along the
route of the procession were lined. by
thousands of interested spectators,
while the centre of the street was fil-
led with fill apparently interminable
line of vehicles of all eorts, mounted
men and pedestrians. While passing
the Central hotel, Mrs. Billings threw
a large boquet to the. Premier which
he caught, and accepted with a, pleas-
ant smile and bow.
The speaking on the race coarse
took place from the judges' stand,
which -canopied with evergreens, af-
forded a gratefid shade from the rays
of the sun. The audience arranged
themselves in a dense black mass on
all sides, and gave the speakers a most
attentive hearing. The chair was
taken by Dr. Rollins, who spoke in
terms of eulogy of each of the visitors,
and said that he admired Mr. Laurier's
mental agility on the school question
and the fiscal policy. The Premier
We do not mean a shake of

• The Premier's appeara,uce to the
front of the platform was the signal
for an immense _enetburst of cheers.
He excused hir.'from speaking at
length on the ground that he had un-
dergone incessant toil in addressing
from three to four meetings a day in
all parts of the country, and the de-
mand upon his vocal powers had been
such that unless he exercised great
care he would not be in a position to
speak at Petrolea that night. It was,
however, almost unnecessary for hire
to declare lus views, so well known
were they to the people at large, and
be was fortunate in having with him
his tried and trusted friend, Sir John
Carling, as well as his respected, able,
and eloquent colleague, Dr. Montague,
both of whom would address them.
The Premier replied to the assertion
of the Liberal press that Dr. Montague
wished to resign because he saw the
Government would be defeated, and
said he supposed. Banquo's ghost did.
not create more consternation than
the reappearance of Dr. Montague in
such health and vigoue as enabled him
on the previous night to deliver
tut hour's speeclx to one of the most
magnificent assemblages, Sir Charles
said, he had ever seen in any part of
Canada. Before concluding his brief
speech, Sir Charles commended lb the
support of the electors the Liberal-
Coeservative caudidate for the riding,
Mr. Hutchins, whom be thanked for
the support he rendered at the most
critical period in the history of the
Liberel-Conservative patty since the
days of Coufederation.
Short epeeches were delivered - by
Messrs. William Hutchins and Win.
Pridhaao. They were succeeded by
Sir John Carling, who, for an hour,
discussed the trade question in a man-
ner that frequently won recognition
from the audience. He scored point
after poiut, in showing what the Nat-
ional Policy had done for Canada, and
aroused an appreciative cheer when he
made it plain that the return of the
Liberals, pledged as they were to the
destruction of protection, would be
fatal to the interests of the farmer. A
particularly strong feature of his
speech was the statistics he gave,
demonstrating the remarkable develop-
ment whieh bad taken place in this
country since the inception of the pre-
sentpolicy.
Dr, Montague was evidently no
stranger to the people, for he was
greeted with all the heartiness of an
old friend. His speech was quite up
to its usual standard, and it was en-
livened by many an anecdote, which
put the audience in a capital humor.
.4‘.1most the whole of his address was
occupied with the school question, and
rarely has a cleverer or le more can-
did presentation of the Government's
case been made out. That it was not
without a strong effect upon the au-
dience was clear from the many aud-
ible comments of approval made while
the speech was in progress, such as
"That's right," 'That's common senee,'
and so on.
The meeting concluded with the
usual cheers, and the Premier and
party were then escorted to the sta-
tion by a large crowd of supporters.
It was nearly one o'clock when they
left the town, followed by cheers.

PHYSICIANS COMMENCE TO REALIZE
THE VALUE OF DODD'S KIDNEY
PILLS.
Ottawa, June 15. -The inveterate re-
• luctance to admit the success of patent
medicines, usually evinced by the phy-
sicians is rapidly giving way so tar as
Dodd's Kidney Pills are concerned.
The eases of Dr. Rose and Dr. Mc-
Cormick, who published details of their
recovery front diabetes and Bright's
disease, through the agency of this re-
medy, were the first attacks on the
citadel of their skepticism and now it
appears as if the remarkable recovery
of Mr. G. H. Kent, of this city the de-
tails of which have been transmitted
to the press, would conaplete what has
ban' so auspiciously begun. Tito pub-
lished interviews with Mr. and MA.
Kent and the sworn statement of the
former loaves no foothold for disbelief.

Milking Stool.
The dimensions are as follows: Take of
pine board; 8 feet by I toot 3 inches by 1
or I y, inehes. About 2 inches from ono
end out a round hole about I foot in di-
ameter whlob will leb a wooden pail down
about to the ears, Take a Wasp about 9
feet long, tack the ends in the Grooves at
AA; take another strap the same loDg$hl
and tack the enda in the grooves at BB;
by means of these straps almost any alma'
pail may be used. Bore a hole near esett •
corner of the board for the lege, the bolsi
to be slanted, which enables the stool to
stand more firmly. A cleat across eaoh
end of the seat where the legs are inserted -
will keep it from splitting. Make Ihe lap
about 1 foot long. People should use
their own judgment about the length of
the legs, as hardly two persons require'
the same length.
Buying Cows by Tests.
The North Carolina Experiment Station-'
proposes a plan for buying and selling
cows based on the yield of their milk, to.
gether with the quality of the same, ar.
determined by tests of milk. The rule is
to pay for the cow at the rate �f $12 per -
gallon of milk given per day that Is rich
enough to show 334 per cent. of fat. To •
this price add or subtract ono dollar for
every one-fourth of one per cent. of fat •
which is above or below the 334 per oink
By this rule, a cow le bought entirely
upon her merits. It is believed to be &-
conservative plan and one if adopted
(or one upon a similar plan) will raise,
the standard of cows and increase their
milk and butter production, for if they
cannot be sold easily for milt% COWS they
will soon be turned over to the butcher,
and a better animal be kept, or a willing^
purchaser be found. The result cannot
fail to be beneficial to all parties.
The above illy digested plan is going
the rounds of the press. We wonder thee
any Mae of good business sense and hay-
ing any knowledge of dairying shoul d
propose it, and that it should bo oonsid-
ered meritorious by any reputable paper. 11
Cows underfed or overfed at tho time of
test would make or lose money for either
buyer or seller. .Again, some cows give
heavy amounts of milk when first drop-
ping their calves, and then after a month
or two drop sharply off, falling beneath
the yield of others that start with a small
yield and hold up close down to the dry-
ing time. But, again, age would much
modify the value of a cow, while It is
more than doubtful whether a Holstein
giving six gallons and on tho plan bring-
ing $72 would not bring too muoh com-
pared with a Jersey starting out with •
three and ono -half gallons and 6 per cent.
of fat, and bringing in tho rule.02. For
126 pounds extra of fat on a ybild of 5,004 •
pounds of milk, 150 pounds extra of but-
ter would result, worth not $10 bub
$87.50 yearly at 25 cents per pound in a
given yield for each cow. Now an increase
of 71.4 per cent. fat from Ws per cont.
inereasas the sale value of a cow but $10,
while FM increase of 71.4 per ...cent.. itt
milk flow from 824 gallons increases
the sale value $30. Other objection!'
might be enumerated that would cause
practical mon to rejeot the scheme.
