IPO1iIi OF THE C0111IISSION. Some people have nu idea that the Tariff Commissioners are only making things more difficult for themselves by securing such a mass of bewildering and contradictory evidence, and the promi• nence of the projected interests before the Commission has awakened appre• lreusions in some quarters that the tar- iff reform pledges will not be fulfilled. We can well understand that weak men would lose themselves in the mass of material the Commissioners have to One of the gravest objeotiOus to the protective system is that ditties so easily grow in volume, and rednotione are so difficult to make. But in no better time could the tariff be reduced than now, when bneineae is running ander bare poles. The Commissioners have a big job before them, and a lot of hard work, but we are satisfied the country as a whole will have reason to be fairly teals - lied with the results of their work.— Guelph Mercury. The Seaforth Poultry Show. The first annual exhibition under the auspices of the Huron Poultry and Pet Stook Association was held in Seaforth ou Tuesday, Wed- nesday and Thursday of last week and proved a huge success. The feathered race was repreeeuted by an exhibit of about 350 birds, all of the highest breed- ing and in prime condition. The follow- ing are some of the largest exhibitors from remote parts of the county :—J. 0. Lytle. Luckuow ; E. A. Wells, Goderich ; A. J. Grigg, Clinton ; Juo. Barnard, Wroxeter ; W. Taylor, Wingham ; W. Carter, Huliebt. The success of this, the first annual Show in Huron, is large- ly due to the untiring efforts of the Presi- dent of the Society, Dr, Scott, and Secre- tary Wm. Hartry, who did all within their power to bring the exhibition to a digest, but with strong men—and they successful issue. The exhibits were impressed everyone that way in Guelph— { judged by J. L.

Nova Scotia grew restive quo, and Sir Charles Tupper, in 1881, gave them the iron duties which the late Government reduced in 1804, but which are still complained of, They have stimulated Nova Scotia production to some extent, bat we believe au increase in the bounty and tho radical reduction of the duty would work little injury to the vested interests of Nova Scotia, while it would greatly relieve the other Pro- vinces. Coal is a more difficult matter to treat, but a reduction in it would be made up to the Nova Scotians by a re- duction on other necessaries. The fruit men are too greedy by half• It is intolerable that Manitobans and Maritime Province people should have to pay two and three prices for peaches, grapes, 3:c., simply to benefit one section of Ontario. To put high specific taxes on purpose to shut out early Southern fruit and make the rest of us wait longer and pay more for the late Canadian fruit is no part of a Government's duty to the people ; fruit is not a luxury, as Mr. Pettit tried to advance, in a vain attempt to dodge one of Mr. Fielding's questions. The Canadian growers have no right to ask the Government to overcome all their natural disadvantages by putting on heavy taxes. The farmer's interests were pretty well advanced. The retention of the duty ou Amerioan pork was urged for fear its free importation would injure Canadian pork in the English market. The wit• neseee ou this head did not seem to be aware that Canadian packers have the privilege of importing American hogs free in bond, and packing them for the English market, if they choose. That they have not done so is not because of the duty on pork, that dict nob affect them at all, as they could importfree, but because the Canadian pork was superior and the Canadian supply was sufficient. Mr. Ballantyne showed that the price of bacon in Briton and the price paid for hogs in Canada often had no relation to each other ; to be fair to the swine men, they did not claim that it had, as a goner. al rule. They wanted the American hog shut out hocaas° it was fed on inferior stuff, and because of its fancied effect on fhe English trade, not because tate duty benefited nacos muoh. Germany, a muoh bigger country than Canada, and one not nearly so intimately related to the States, tried once to shut out Ameri- can hog products on a similar ground, but they bad to come to time to avoid retali- ation by the States, It would seem to us that the swine men would have been far more consistent in melting that the same revenue duty of some 25 per cont, be applied to hogs and hog products as will have to be applied to other articles. The position of Mr. Smith, the sheep men's representative, was far more reasonable ; he was quite willing to trade off any advantage a tariff Would give heti for reductions in other quarters, Ayleebory dnoks.—Drake, W Garter ; duok, W Garter ; young drake, W Cart• er, Pepin ducks.—Dralte, 1 it 2 G W Ir. win, J 0 Lyons ; duels, 0 15' Irwin, J 0 Lyons ; Yonne drake, Win Wallace, J 0 Lyons, G W Irwin ; young duck, G 1V Irtviu, W Wallow, 3 0 Lyone, Tolouse geese.—G W Irwin, Speoials.•—L 0 Charlesworth, for yonngeet exhibitor ; best Gane cools, 0 A Wells ; best breeding pen of Asialios, J 0 Lyons ; highest sooriug Ooehiu, 3 0 Lyons ; highest eooring Houdau 000kerel, J G Lynas ; beet breeding pen Minorcan, W Hertry ; highest eooring breeding pen, W Hartry ; best light Brahma, G W Ir. win ; best rook bird in ebow, W Hartry ; best white rook cockerel, W Hartry ; best Poland, W Carter ; best Brown Leghorn cockerel, J Melviker ; best breeding pen white Leghorns, W Sarbry highest scoring dark Brahma, G W Ir. win ; best pais of geese, FV Grieves ; hest pair ducks, G \V Irwin ; best Guinea fowl, W Carter ; best Seebright Bantam, G W Irwin ; highest scoring bird, G 1V Irwin ; best barred Rock by farmer, J Gemmell; beet exhibit of turkeys, T McMichael ; bast collection of pigeons, Newton Davis ; beet Leghorn pullet, W Hartry ; best Leghorn cockerel, W Carter ; beet dark Brahma, G W Irwin ; best light Brahma, \V Outer ; highest soaring pullet, Dr Scott ; exhibitor win- ning the fewest prizes, J H Howson.

Wel], my boy was about twenty•ouo months old when I began to give hitt your Sys- tem Renovator Improved and your Protein Resurgam. I gave him the medi- cies for about five months, then he was oured, and to -day I have as strong, ELS healthy, and as good•looking a boy as yon would wish to see, now three years old. Be was very troublesome from the time be was born, cried nearly all the time and slept very little and that never soundly, not until he had taken your medicine for a short time, lite used to go into oonvulsione three or four times a day from the time he was live days old and then his head began to grow larger, increasing in size all the time until the medicine took effect. We sought medical aid from different doctors without any t'mnetlt, Cooly one relieved him some), The size of the head began to diminish gradually au 110 was gsbtiug affect of the dropsy and of the water in the head. No other medicine was used but yours only, with tbs above mentioned results. I trust other inethers will benefit from my boy's mire. The bottle of Renovator which .I took myself has done me n great deal of good. 11"rout lay very heart and that of it gratofnl another you will have my good wishes wherever you may be as Iolig its ynit lire. I remain Your true friend, Mae. AxucEw SMITH. 5014 by Jas, e'ox, Druggist, Itrassele, 13luovalre. Will, Bailey is off duty with a severe attttok of la grippe. 0.
