Thos. McMi -heel, in. which he n t only

although T ave no objection to it r.

which I m st confess is rather ( ifficult
for him to d.. At the Meeting tc which
he draws a tendon, I put on TO airs,
neither did I say a single word gainst
either a far net or graindealer. •1. gave
my own ex]. erience ;and- opinion on the
matter. 11 ving • been buying roduce
from the fa sneers fot the last se en teen
y -ears, and s ent on average tw-ent thou-
sand dollars a year, I have as good a right
to my opini n as be has to his. voted
against the olls, and had no obje tion to
take off the ees if practicable, or modify
them to mu the minds of the publ ic.
Mr. Me1 cheat, selfish man, v ted to
keep the tol on his neighbors, be ause he
did not nee to travel on the grave roads,
and had he .ccasion: to do so, he would
go round, a i d to the neck in mud before
he would p y ten cents of a toll. If he
sets hirasel forwarcl as representative
man, he 'm st become mom liberal and
truthful th n he has hitherto been. In
all my carer as a gain merchant I have
never form d. a ring or combination with
any man t wrong the farmer et keep
down price, I never bought a bushel of
grain at th station as he says, but it was
i who bought at the crater, where he
s
says he always got gentlemanly treat-
ment. Mr. Editor, I am quite willing to
leave my reputation in the hands of the
public who will do me justice, as they
know whether I acted small or mean to -
wads them.
Now to the creature's own appearance
on the platform. Mr. McMichael mount-
ed the stage in a perfect rage,. stormed
and scolded for a while, and ended by of-
.fering to Int ten dollars with- some of the
company who did not believe his story.
He made a desperate effort to get out his
purse, but failed,as usual with him. Mr.
McMichael says, when he looked around
upon the c,ompany, he instinctively
placed hit • hand on his purse—that in-
stinct is the only one he seems to have,
cultivated. I have no objection that Mr.
McMichael should become an advertising
medium' for any store in town, and he
may carry a board on his back and an-
other on his breatt if he pleases, but the
laudations of such a man are not worth a
stick of candy. Apolaizing taking up so

Seaford), Dec. 21st, 1870.
To the Editor,of the Huron Expositor.
SIR,—In' my report of the Seaforth
meeting, relative to the continuation of
farmers' market fees, in my last commu-
nication, I stated that Messrs. Logan and
Luxton took the position that „market
fees, collected as a revenue, were unjust
to the farmers who paid them, and ruin-
ous to the best mercantile interests of the
village. Such, Sir, was their assertion,
but they produced no substantial proofs
to Sustain their position. I will- nylAr oc-
cupy.their position, and endeavour to
prove their assertions correct by facts
and figures, and these_ are " chide that,
winna ding, and daunla he disputed."
Suppose for instance a farmer with 5 or 6
Of a family, occupying 100 acres, 70 or 80
of•Which are cleared,—in ordinary years he
will have about 500 bushels grain to sell,
independent of beef, pork, cheese, butter
and eggs, his store account will amount
to abont $400 or $500. I will also sup-
pose that the owner of a first-class store,
when we take into consideration the in-
terest on his stock, bad diebts, rent, and
,the salaries of his assistants, will require
at 'mast 20 per cent profits on his cash
salese—ba in order that you may fully
comprehend my meaning relative to the
profits and loss of tne farmer's custom, I
will refer you to the following account:
Grain -dealer's commission on. 500
- bushels. 3' cents per bushel; • $15 00
Farmer's store account consisting
of dry goods, groceries, hard-
ware, green and root seeds; tail -

as ehrinkaee. Now, Mr. Editor, you will
observe froru the above figures that in
corsequence of one fermi -leaving Sea-
forthe on account of the imposition of one
dollar and ten urns of market fees, there
will be a dead loss to the co) poration tf one
hundred and twenty -tat) dollars and four-
teen cents. This is the ruinous policy to
th cri hest interests of the village that
Messrs. Logan aud Luxton sear looming
up:through the mist. Had the ratepay-
ers of Seaforth thoroughly underemod
their own interests they would' hive
adkited the wise and sagacious opiniOns
of Mr. Logan and Mr. Luxton, but by
their vote they endorted the silly sophis-
try of the " penny wise zind pound fool-
ish" policy of Messrs. Cash, Beattie &
Go. But some of the ratepayers of Sea -
forth are still rejoicinobover the fact th
_at
Clinton is also going to establish a, mar-
ket and collect market fees, but the busi-
ness men of Cliartmahave oot yet commit-
ted themselves, and I would humbly- mine
gest that befere they do -I they will
consider well the above figures end a'
the same time bear in mind that Clinton
occupies eentral position between God-
erieh and Seal-orth, arid that if she cen,
with a free mareet, only withdraw from
Goderich the ;custom of sir's substantial
farmers, and f TGM Seaford' the "mean sel-
fish M. McMichael" and live others, the
profits upon the cuetom of these 12 far-
mers will amount in the year to $ t,439.28;
and as Seriforth :market ib let fur thc pre-
sent year for $1,320, and supposing Clin-
ton market to be let for the same amount,
there would be sm balance in favour of
Clinton, with a free market,. of $119.28.
In ;conetusiou, I may perhaps at ome fu-
ture time have something more tc say re-
lative to free markets :out free roads, but

Thos. ICHA EL.
Hulled, Dee. 14th, .1870.
The Darwiruau Theory.
To the Editor of the.Huron Expositor.
ou will oblige by inserting the
followina° to correct the misrepresenta.
tions ofthe Seaforth correspondent of
the Ooderieh, Cliuton, Mitehell, and
Stratford papers, in reference to the ad-
dress given by Dr. Vercoe, before the
Seaforth Literary and Scientific Society,
on the evening of the 14th inst., upon the
subject of the " Darwinian Theory," in
which the author states that "Dr. Vere
coe is a strong upholder of the Darwin
theory." This statement is a falsehood,
Dr; Vercoe said nothing of the kind. He
distinctly announced in his very interest-
ing address, for which he received the
thanks of the meeting, that he did not
assume to be the advocate of the Darwin-
ian theory; and that in giving the pecu-
liar views of Darwin, his own sentiments
were not eupposed to be represented:
Further, Ithe arguments of Darwin, as
given by Dr Vercoe, did not 'embrace the
statement, "That the origin of life, ani-
mal or vegetable, resulted c not as Moses
says, from any creative power proceeding
from the Jehovah, bet from protoplasm,
which being placed in the most favorable
circumstances as regards heat, moisture,
I
produces a low kind of animal life,
thus a., process of grad al self -develop -
Ment produces a higher, nd that a high-
er- tkill, till at last man, he lord of crea-
tion, in the pomp of his 1 ride and power,
crowned the pile." Now Dr. Vereoe ut-
tered no such scntimen s, neither does
Derwin. So far, this qi adruple corres-
plondent again conviets theself of false-
lifood and exposes his iJnorane of the
subject. Passing in revi w the aWnom of
tIlts correspondent, I will venture to ail-
sert without fear el contradiction that no
protoplasm nor any other "10w form of
animal life" ever exhibited itself in Sea -
forth with so much emit+ mptible pomp
and vanity as the correspondent ef these
papers. His " debut " as more in the
character of a "travellm f mountebank,'
piping himself into notiet to the tune o 1
the ‘• Campbells are com ng," than tlat

practice his profession i 1 an honorable
Manner. Next inecharac er we find hiM
