SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, July' 8, 1887.
A Burning- Question.
The question of Commercial Union
between Canada and the United States
is rapidly becoming the burning ques-
tion of the day, if it has not already
done so. That it has taken a firm hold
upon the public mind is abundantly
Manifested by the large audiences, prin-
cipally of farmers, who at this busy sea-
son of the year, have assembled -at the
different places to hear the addresses of
Messra. Erastus Wiman and Benjamin
Butterworth. More than this, the
warm and hearty, reception accorded
these gentlemen, together with the
strong resolutions which have every-
where been unanimously passed, show
not only that the people are interested
in the subject, but prove. beyond a doubt
that they are enthusiastically in favor of
the scheme. It is true that none of the
leading politicians on either side have
yet shown any disposition to consider
the subject favorably. This, however,
is not a matter for much regret. It in
worse for the politicians than it for
the cause. Indeed, it is probably better
in the meantime that the politicians do
hald aloof, as if the rank and file marshal
into line they can soon command the polh.
ticians, and these gentlemen will be only
too glad to obey,whereas if the politicians
of either aide had taken the initietive
there would be much less likelihood. of
unanimity afterwards among the manses.
Now, men of bath parties are uniting
heartily in the agitation. A few days
aga, at a meeting in the county of
Prince Edward for the formation of a
*Union Club, a prominent local Reformer
moved the adoption of the proposed club
platform, and an equally prominent
Conservative seconded the motion. This
platform binds the members of the club
not to support any candidate for any
pablic position who will not pledge him-
self to use his inflaence in favor of Com-
mercial union. At Port HOpe also, on Tues-
day last, at Mr. Wirnan's meeting there, a
resolution was unanimously passed as fol-
lows : Commereial Union is the policy
we will support, and we will vote for
no party or individual who will not
favor it." .The meeting at which this
resolution was adapted was attended by
over a thousand people. These are
straws which -show pretty plainly how
the wind blows.
•
In another column we give a fairly full
synopsis of the meeting held at Dufferin
lake on Dominion Day. At the Port
Hope meeting Mr. William discussed the
question from other points of view. His
statements are so plain, so pointed, and
withal appeal so clearly to the eommon
sense of every person, that we qnote his
remarks below to the exclusion of other
editorial matter. -This is a question in
which every Canadian is vitally interest-
ed, and we therefore bespeak for this
statement of the case by Messrs. Wiman
and Butteredorth a fair and impartial
perusal. Mr. Wiman said :

discrimination of the -tariff. The tkade

Mr. Butterworth, in the "cour e of his
speech, put the disadventages under
which we labor under the present .sys-
tem thus -tersely. He said :
"At present there was a line of fron-
tier 4,000 rniles long lined with custom
houses and picket guards to, prevent the
free and natural course of -gale and ex-
change of commodities between the two
countries. Take the case of the pro-
ducer in Ontario. A farmer starts from
Ontario with it carload of barley for New
York. When he reaches the picket line
the United States- Gavernment kindly
takes one bushel out of every seven. He
pays freight, etorage . and commis-
sion and buys corn 'on the United
States eide and starts home. His own
Government stops him at the picket
line and the officers take one bushel in
every four. Thus, after a seaton of un-
remitting toil, he is permitted to rejoice
in the fact, that in exchanging his pro-
dube for the things necessary for his
family, he_ has had wrested from him by
two Christian Governments, one-half his
goods. (Applause.). If he cressed the
lines several times with the same goods
the Governments would have all his
goods and he would have the felicity of
knowing he had at least saved himself.
One Government made a man divide as
he went to marlset and the other made
him divide as he returned._ And yet he
was told that to even c'all into question
the wisdom and justice -of this system of
legalized brigandage was to be disloyal..

strength in such conditions was of Ithat
character which could hardly be skein'

"He would confine his attention to
meeting two or three objections which
had been raised to the proposal They
were, first, the supposed annexation ten-
dency; second, discrimination against
Great Britain; third, the falling off of
revdnue; fourth, the possibilities in the
United States of the acceptance of the
project. As to the first point, he asked
what would. be the advantage to the
United States the annexation of Can-
ada ? In his experience of thirty years
in the United States he had encountered
the utmost indifference there in regard
to the future of Canada. The United
States had already as much territory as
they could manage. He knew of. noth-
ing which indicated the slightest desire
to, annex Canada. The people of the
United States knew less about Canada
than they did of Macedonia. But while
the Americans did not want Canada they
wanted the trade and commerce- which
she could give them. It Would be better
to have this trade and commerce than
Canada herself. Political parties in the
United States were too evenly divided
for them to bring in nnknown factors in
the shape of the French Catholic, Orange
and protectionist vote of Canada. If
there was any annexation sentiment in
Canada it was because of the material
advantages evhieh would follow access to
the large markets of the United States.
But these would be accomplished by
Commercial Uaion which would give
all the increase of' trade desired. He
believed, therefore, that Commercial
Union would have a tendency to -main-
tain British connection. (Applause.)
The country had reached that state that
some change was absolutely necessary,
and this was the reason why the reci-
procity agitation was sweeping the coun-
try to-rlay. ln regard to the discrimi-
nation amainst British goods, at the first
glance the scheme looked much like dis-
crimination. England had long ago- set
the example that free trade was the best
policy. She would be the last to com-
plain if Canada carried out her teaching
' even against' herself. Three-fourths of
the money borrowed by Canada came
from England. The amount of interest
was appalling, and was almost a much
as the value of the wheat crop. The
-ability of the country to pay it depend-
ed on the prosperity of the farmers. Any
policy which benefitted the farmers
would make the payment more assured.
But there were only 500 merchants in

Tem Monetary Times, the well-known

.
though supposed to be neutral in 'lilacs
alvvayst leans its soft side towards the
Conservative_ party, concludes an able
article on the work of the recent session
of the Dominion Parliament as follows :
There is a sense in which the local
railway grants attest that Parliament,
the Provinces, the constituencies, have
all- passed into ;the declining stage of
hopeless corruption. The distribution
of these grants has become a grab game.
There is no principle in it. And all
sense of shame has been banished. These
grants are every whit as bad in principle
as those which Lord Durham denounced,
nearly half a century ago." Theee are
words of truth which it would be -well
for the people of Canada to ponder over.

a perfectly proper one to be brought in
that court and should have been tried on
its merits.
-On Wednesday night of last week,
while Robert McQuillan and his sister -
son and daughter of Mr. W. J. McQuil-
lan, of West Wawanosh-were return-
ing home from Lucknow, they met wide
a 'nest lamentable and serious accident.
When just outside the village, and near
the residence of Mr. Thos. Steveason,
the horses took fright and ran away, and
turning off the roadway the vehicle
struck against a telegraph pole, tossing
the young man and his sister to the
ground. Mr. McQuillan, who was
thrown fully twenty feet from the rig,
had his shoulder dislocated and was
otherwise terribly bruised about the
head and body, while Miss McQuillan,
who fell to the opposite side, had her
collar bone broken and was also badly
cut about the head amd face. We believe
Miss McQuillan had been away on a
visit, and had just returned by the late
train that night, and they were on their
way home when the sad affair took
place. Their escape from instant death
was miraculous. Another young lady,
who was sitting in the back of the demo-
crat when the runaway occurred, escap-
ed unhurt.

Bran for Fattenixig Store Cattle.
By PROF. BROWN, OF THE ONTARIO EX-
•
PERIMENTAL FARM..
In previous years we have tested the
value of different kinds of grain separ-
ately in the fattening of stores, but
never bran thoroughlY against any of
them, or a mixture of them. The
prothinence now giveit tie the brad of
wheat in feeding milchicoWs decided the
experiment of testing it in comparison
with othek grains, im fattening store
steers.
Eight animals were hos handled, all
being Short Horn e -ade steers two
years old -three only of ithich could be
held as tops of their kind,;and the others
but very ordinary spedirnens. They
were got in October, 18861 and put up to
good stall feeding until the beginning of
the test on 28th FebOary following.
The lot was made into twe equal groups,
balancing everything 4s1usual to the
best of our knowledge, i and changing
during periods of thel 6$ days ending
7th May., - '
The two rations per head per day
w ere :
A.-18 lbs. bran, 9 lbs.. timothy and
clever hay, and 30 lbs. turnips.
B.-10 lbs. of equal weights of ground
peas, oats, barley and corn, with 9 lbs.
hay and 30 tbs. turnips.
Upon the grain (B), all over the two
Periods, the average animal 'entered
with 1,347 and came out 1,371 lbs.
Upon bran (A), all lover the same
periods, the average entry was 1,330
and the closing weight 1,382 lbs. per
head.
These brief statemeatti of the whole
experiment are so astonishing that re-
capitulation in anothee form is desirable.
Group 1. on grain began at 1,334 itild
closed at 1;360, hex* increased only
26 11-3s. per head in' 31 days. When
changed to bran the averitge animal in-
creased from 1,360 to 1,40:3 lbs. in 35
days.
Group 2. on bran -started at 1,300 and
closed with 1,361, thus ill ereaiing 61 lbs.
in 33 days, and when_ changed to grain
the average animal ran from 1,361 to
1,382 in 35 days.
Altogether, then, there has been a
mean daily per head increase,' from all
sources over all the period, of over one
(1.10) pound to the live' Weight. Grain
gave a daily rate of two-thirds (.69) of a
pound, and bran fully . a pound and a -
half (1.53) per head daily!.
Animals were in good health and had
no trouble except one that bloated thrice
when on bran, and hence would be an
item asking for credit to that 'ration. -
We have never. had the same ex-,
perience with a lot of, etores. During
the last eleven years with us the average
daily increase to weight by many kinds
of feed has been 2.03 Ths.,the lowest 1.60,
the highest 2.70. ' Beside4i, on almost an
exactly similar ratioa to this grain SB),
we haveabtained in past r years a mean
of 2.25, so that we are in
ing to account for the u
-Dr. Richardson, of Stratford, lately
received by mail two copies' of a ccnnic
Chinese paper. The papers are issued in
the form of a book with a yellow cover.
The leaves are double and uncut,and ac:
cordingly only one side of a leaf is printed
on: In looking at the curious and elab-
orate Chinese characters it ceases to be
a wonder that it takes some 150 volumes

trouble in han-
nusual circum-
stance of the general ba doing, with-
out refeence to the specialties mean-
time. One thing is eviddnt in this ex-
periment, namely, that the conduct of
each group has been very uniform, but,
all over there was' a decidedly under
average lot of cattle. Q ality was want-
ing in the majority, and
feeders. Nevertheless
form health, and so far a
for -experimentation the onditions were
precisely alike, with the reflection thet
treating such a class of animals to a
variety of things would most likely be
better for them, as agadnst one kind of
food in abundance.
The nutritive ratio o the bran diet is
1:5.04, and of the mixture of grain
1:5.64, which, though not always neces-
sarily the hest evidence of the feeding
value, is a guide,. and indicates in this
caee that the hay and roots with the bran
was about 12 per cent. richer than the
other ration. The twe may be placed
for all practical perpolms at equal market
value, and thus we have amincreased
interest in the cbmpetition. -
That growing cattle life, specially set
aside to produce beef, during winter,
should be more than doubled in added
weight by the consumption of 18 lbs. of
wheat bran as against 10 lbs. of a mix-
ture of our best coarse hereals and the
pea, seems hardly possible from a farm-
er's reasoning. The peint is not only
one of considerable impoktance ; it is ohod
gi
of physiologica.1 interest the more so
we have had the milking cow and tiii
beefing steer giving suet' different res,
sults. Take the latter fact first of all:
As shown in Bulletin 12. a spayed
cow -an agent of the vely best kind by
the way -not only gave! samewhat less
rniek on 18 lbs. of bran per day, but that
milk was 17 per cente less in butter ;fat
than when she got the 16 lbs. of the mix-
ture of grain in question!.
Is bran, then, by it4 higher concen-
trated and less digestible character,
better adapted to produce fat and -flesh
than milk and milk fat? It has most
unquestionably said so in these tests,
and while further prosecution of the en-
quiry may alter results to some extent,
the faets so far are too prominent to be
set aside as belonging tei any unusual
circumstances.
We do not enter upon the chemical
bearings of the experiments at present,
because Professor James has not yet
completed analyses of fodders "and the
manure obtained.
It will be matter of much interest to
all feeders to note that while the'coiv ate

DEATH 0 F -1. PIONEER,. -The following
additional particulars are -given concern-
ing Mr. George Cunningham, lately of
the 13th concession of this township,
-whose demise was briefly alluded to last
week': DeceaSed was born "in Selkirk -
shire, Scotland, 27th December, 1815,
and consequently at the time 'of :his
death was in his 7:3rd year. He 'served .
ii
an apprenticeship in a wholesale house
in Edinburgh, and in the spring f 1834
emigrated to Cankda, where on the 9th
coacession North Dumfries, Wateeloo
county, he settled on lots 24 and 25, in
partnership with an older brother,
James, and cleared- 115 acres. In Oc-
tober, 1850, he moved into the toWnship
of Hallett and settled on lot 37 in the
13th concession, where he cleared 120
acres', put in 1400 rods of underdrain,
and cleared out all the stumps. In the
year 1876 he sold his farm and retired
to lot :33, where he had four and a half
acres on the 13th concession. Mr. Cun-
ningham wat a man of robust constitied
tion and enjoyed good health, with the
exception of rheumatism, until a few
years ago, when the action of the heart
wea impeded by fat, causing shortness
of breath and finally caused his death.
He had been failing for some time, arid
_especially since the beginning of March
of the present year, and by the end of
April had sunk so low as to be insen-
sible for some days, his medical attend-
ant expecting him to pass away at any
moment ; but he rallied again and was
able to move around until a feiv days
before his death, daring which time for
the nsost part he lay in a sort of stupor,
apparently unconscious of anything go-
ing on around him. He passed, away
quietly without a motion, as in la calm
and quiet sleep. He leaves a widow, in
frail health, and a family of fiVe sons
and three daughters. Two son4 living
