THE FARMERS DISAPPOINTED If Grand President Illallory speaks for the Patrons, and the farmers are represented by the order. then Mr. Fielding's tariff is not acceptable to the agricultural industry of the Do- itninion- In the most emphatic terms C. A. 'Mallory condemns the Govern- ment for the violation of the pledges given by Liberal candidates at the hast election, and concluded his column of denunciation in the Farmer's Suri with the statement that "Patrons must look elsewhere for justice." That the taint laint of the patrons. is well foaalided thare can beat) question. They were promised free trade and they have been given protection. They were promised reciprocity with the rutted States and they have been given lower duties on their produce, and no reduction upon the goods they must purchase. The removal of the duty on corn without any compen- sating concession from the United States will destroy the market for coarse grains that the farmers have enjoyed, while the old duties on im- plements are retained. Certainly the farmers have reason to complain, and all who believe that free trade as it is in England would be a good thing for Canada must be grieviously disappointed at the bill that has been presented. THE WOOL QUESTION. It appears that the McKinley Gov- ernment on the other side are as un- certain about the Dingley tariff as is the Laurier Government on the Cana- dian duties, It will be recollected the house of Representatives at Wash- ington passed a tariff bill making everything dutiable shipped to the United States after the lst of April, but the Senate, which has consider- ation of the bill, has reported it with the stool tariff feature stricken out. This duty on Canadian wools would range from 0 to 12 cents per pound. The members of the House of Rep- resentatives who are responsible for that feature, however, insist upon it that this wool duty will be in the bill when sigaxed by the President. But Senators say that the tariff bill will not pass if that feature is hi it, and there is a very remote chance of the collection of any duty on wool that arrives in the United States before the tariff bill is signed by the President. But it is uncertain when this will oc- cur, and hence the wool trade is hi n very unsatisfactory state, Canadian wools in Philadelphia, are worth to- day about cls .. 0 centsfor fleece washed3 and about 18 cents for unwashed, but manufacturers are pretty well sup- plied, having been buying all over the world in anticipation of the tariff, so that when a duty is imposed it will not increase the price in the United States to the full extent of the tariff for a year or two, or until that which is already there is used up. From this we assume that there will be no need to import a pound of wool into the United States for a year after the tariff bill passes, that already in stock there being ample for their needs for that length of time. As stated above, while the chances of tbe wool shipped in between now and the let of July hawing to pay duty are very remote; yet American buyers take this into consideration in making advances. So that American buyers e b Byers of Canadian wool which is worth 20 cents are only 'willing to advance to buyers here half its present value, which would be 13 cents on washed and half the present value on unwashed, which would be 0 cents. The Dingley bill and the Laurier tariff are in the same muddle; and if the former bill should happen to be signed by the President in the meantime, 12 cents a pound would be put on against our lustre wools, and the American purehaser would be left. At the ramie time the Canadian buyer and the American purchaser are left in suspense, and this wool season may be expected to be atncertain to the Canadian farmer. • Health and happiness are relative conditions; at auy rate, there can be little happiness without health, To giye the body its full .treasure of strength and energy, the blood should be kept pure and vigorous, by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. NOTES AND COMMENTS There is a chance that other nations will come in for the preference which the Laurier Government has extended 1ito British products, and that Canadian i manufacturers will be .overwhelmed by .unfair competition. If future results verify the fears of the present, the Conservative party will profit through the sufferings of Canadian industry, and protection will again be supreme at Ottawa. Assuming that under Imperial treaties other nations are entitled to the preference which Canada offers to England, the practi- cal result would be a horizontal reduct- ion of.duties pleasing to free traders, but offensive to protectionists and dis- astrous to Canadian manufacturers. There would still be a way out for the Liberal Government. It might declare against giving favors to nations from which Canada gets no favors and abandon the preferential clauses of the tariff altogether, thus adopting the Conservative policy in toto. The seductive influences of a gov- 1 ernxnent job have been too much for Mr, T. O. Currie, the (at one time) stern and unyielding advocate of Pa- tron principles, and grand vice-presi- dent of the organization. He will bencefoxth be Canadian immigration agent at St. Paul, Minn., duties not arduous and salary comfortable. By the way, what is a Patron, anyway ? x + In consequence of the recentpractice of insurance companies in advancing rates under the claim that the object was to force cities and towns to im- prove their fire protection facilities, many complaints have been made to the Ontario GovernmentiendIit haaslbeen urged that the government exercise supervision over the to derwriters and companies. X -t :i The Liberal Association of East Huron met in convention at Brussels on Friday afternoon for the purpose of nominating a candidate for the next provincial election. Nearly 200 dele- gates were present. After routine business, nominations were called for, when sixteen names were handed iu. All withdrew excepting Mr. A. Hislop, of Grey township, and Mr. W. H. Kerr, of Brussels. The ballot resulted in a victory for' Mr. Hislop by 124 to 04. Mr, Kerr moved that the vote be .made unaninxous, The name of Ur, Thos. Gibson. M. P. P., Was placed in nomination. but he having decided to retire at the end of the present Parlfa- xuent, withdrew bis name, and gavea valedictory speech. Mr. McLeeae, M. P. P., also delivered a short address. After his defeat in the general elections, MnLaurier, who nowadays smirkingly testifies hisloyaity to Eng- land, said in Parliament in 1891 : •*We of the Liberal party maintain that the policy of the country must be based not uponenthueuts but upon business principles ; and, fresh as we cone from the people, I say that the only policy which will benefit this country is unrestrieted reciprocity and continental freedom of trade. Sir Charles Tupper says in an :article published a few shays ago in the North American Review that the de- lusion, as he eailis it. of unrestricted reciprocity, was dead and buries]. Dead and buried 1 I am as good an authority on the subject ars Sir Charles Tupper, and I say that it is more alive than ever." These are utter- ances that mist be remembered. In some sections there is an agitation to abolish the recess. practice in public schools, the claim set up beiug that there is more wickedness instilled into the minds of the young than there is recuperation to tbe health. The only reasonable objection to keeping the children in the school room for three hours at et time, is on the score of health, and all danger in this respect can be avoided by having the roome properly ventilated. The lessons would receive more attention and be- come more fixed in the niincls without the receee. Nine -tenths of the public school teachers will admit this, but will oppose the destruction of the time honored custom, as they enjoy the re- cess as well as the children. It is a puzzle to some people to know tvh • binder twine is notcome r y t to cox undo the operation of the new tariff until January lst 1808. The problem is no secret to those who know the story of the binder twine industry as itis to- day. It is stated that Mr, Hobbs who represents London in the Provincial Legislature and a good Liberaliopolitics has a contract for the twine that is to be manufactured in the penitentiaries this season. There is a good deal of money in it for Mr. Hobbs under bis contract price, for of course the labor costs nothing bum the daily rations .of the prisoners. 1 the new duty went into operation at once Mr. Hobbs would be exposed to• the competition of United States manufactures of twine,ancl his profits at the end of the year would not be so large as they will be with the market protected for hint as he will sell more goods. The "Free Trade" government of the dayrecogniz- ing that Mr. Hobbs is a man to look into emergencies, have decided] not to apply their free trade principle to his case until he has squeezed the Lemon dry. so the duty of the binder twine is not to go into effect until 1898.• If the removal of the duty would reduce the price of binder twine to the farmer then the government is taxing th farmers,and every centthat the farmer pay over what they would pay wit free twine, goes, into the pocket of l\f Hobbs and his company. The Co servative government kept bind twine out of Canada by a tariff, th Canadians might find `,employment i the hinder twine factories. The Fre Trade Liberals kept the tax on binder twine that a favored member of their party may snake a good thing out of his prison contract, The political crisis at Madrid con- tinues.

The Sunday School and Church Workers' Association of the Dianery of Huron,opened this convention with service in the Trivitt Memorial church, Wednesday last. After service the delegates returned to the School Hall, when an address of welcome was de- livered by Rev. Bray, of this parish. Among other things Rey Bray said he felt honored that the association met in his parish this year, it being Jubilee year, he also made patriotic mention of our sovereign lady, Queen Victoria. The reports of the various Sunday Schools were road by the secretary, Miss Sweet, all of which showed that some good S. S. work was being done throughout the deanery. D. Dyer was appointed secretary pro tent in place all Dennis who has moved from this deabery, The Rev. Rural Dean Iiodgins presided, and to his energy and tack is largely due the success of these conventions. He never allows the interest in the dis- cussions to flag, and can put through a lot of work in a comparatively short time. In his address he advocated that at • each annual convention the papers, and from what parish to be furnished, shouldbe decided on at each preceding convention ; he also sug- gested that the annual meeting take place two weeks before or after the anneal meeting of Synod. He was pleased to xrotiee that such .a number of S. Schools throughout the deanery had adopted the institute leaflet scheme in teaching, and suggested that reports for comparison be made out from year to year. Much discuss- ion followed on the difficulties arising from the non - attendance Of chiIth it especially boys afterreeach- ing the age of 15 years. The other clergy present were Revs. Smith, Lowe, Stout, Mills. Brownlee and Mc- Quillan, with Messrs. Smith and Pur - ton, divinity students, and over fifty visiting Sunday school teachers and lay workers. Apologies for non-at- tendance were readfrom Revs. Gunne, Turnbull and Parke; also a letter from the Rev. Thomas Loftus Armstrong, of Dungannon, refusing to support the convention, and asking to be counted out. Miss (:ronyn, 'Vinghane, roadtthe first paper and it was favorably com- mented upon. Personally, Miss emus eel received nnieh praise as a sueccess- ful teacher. Much profit resulted from the paper read by John Rainford and the discussion which followed. Next year the peogratunne will consist of papers from Bayfield, Godericb, Gode- rich township, and Exeter. The next annual convention will be held at \Vingham per invitation from Rev. Lowe, of that parish. Election of officers resulted as follows: President, Rev. Lowe, Winghiu n ; Vice -prey, John Ransford, Clinton ; Secretary. Mies Foster, Wingbain; recording-secy D. Dyer, Exeter. Miss Smallacoaxibe, of Honsall, read a very interesting paper which also caused much pro- fitable discussion, Owing to the ab- sence of Miss Holmes, of (Muton, her paper in nuissiouarywork was not read, but the subject was thoroughly dis- cussed by several delegates. In tbe evening divine service WAS held in Trivitt Memorial church, when a large cangregaion was present. The splendid surplice choir and thebeaauti- ful building added to the beauty of the occasion. An excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr, Lowe, of %Vinghaaue, on the words, "A little child shall lead them." On Thnrsdaay morning there was a celebration of the Holy Communion at 8 o'clock, and a business meeting of the deanery chap- ter at 10, when matters appertaining to the work of the church in the dean- ery were discussed, and committees appointed to see that they were pro- perly carried out. To Rev. and Mrs. Bray and the church people of Exeter the visiting delegates are much indebt- ed for the kindness and hospitable treatment accorded thein while attend- ing the convention.
