SEAFORTH„ FRIDAY, July 21st, 1893 possible, as there is likely to be no look of demand at fair prices for the present orop,at least. The Cattle Trade. There is now no doubt but the scheduling order against Canadian cattle going into the Bride) matket will be permanently main- tained. This will have the result of disar- ranglitg and demoralizing' the Canadian cattle export trade for a considerable time. It is certain that, in the meantime, prices will have to oome down. The shipping trade has, thus far this season, resulted dis- astrously to all engaged in it. Nearly every shipment has been made at a loss varying from ten to twenty dollars per heed. This, too, has been on the very beat stall -fed cattle. Some may be surprised that the shippers continue to send over cattle under such discouraging circumstances and know- ing that loss is certain. Well, the fact is, they cannot help themselves. Most of the °attic that have been shipped thus far were purchased early in the season, and the vessel apace engaged for them while there wee still hopes that the embargo would be removed, and the dealers are forced to lift the cattle they purchased and they have to use the steamboat space engaged, or, at all events, they would have to pay for the space whether they used it or not. Under these circumstances they ship and take the risks, even in the face of certsin loss. In this - way, also, the farmer or feeder hes not yet commenced to feel the pinch in the market. Nearly as high prices as usual were paid for fat cattle this past spring. The entire loss, nearly, has fallen upon the shipper. Ite fact, the export cattle trade has been for years a very unsatisfactory one for•the ship- pers. The risks were so great and the mar- kets so variable, while vessel freights were equally uncertain, that the trade has been almost one series of lessee. But as one man got cleaned out another fresh and hopeful spirit seemed to rise up to take his place, and thus the trade, although very unlade - factory, has been kept up. This year, how- ever, the lotuses have been much heavier and more frequent than usual, and many of the largest shippers will be seriously crippled, if not permanently bankrupted. The pres- ent out -look, therefore, is, that for a year or two, at all events, the cattle feeding trade will not be as profitable as it has been. We have no fear, however, that it will be per- manently destroyed. A tratsformation in the way of doing business will simply taie place. During that transformation period, lower prices will, no doubt, prevail, but when the new order of things, which must be introduced, is got fully going, the trade will be better and more profitable than ever. So that, persons hitherto engaged in the feeding business and who have all facilities for it, would, we think, be foolish to aban- don it simply on account of the present die- eouragiog outlook. The shipping trade will still be carried on extensively, perhaps more extensively than ever, but it will be done in a different way. Instead of lean cattle be- ing sent across the Atlantic only the fattest and beet will be sent alive, and with the im- proved lacilities for slaughtering, which must be provided there, there will not be much, if any, diminution in price of this class of cattle. Besides this, the dead meat trade will be more extensively carried on. In this way, in both these branches, this country will reap the profit of producing the finished artiole, instead of, as now, allowing the bulk of that profit to go elsewhere. The Chicago Canadian -American gives the fol- lowing encouraging words in reference to the dead meat branch of the trade. It says : " Canadians are about ready to acknow- ledge that John Bull does not mean to admit their cattie to his markete for fattening purposes. The obnoxious ruling passed last fall rescinding the privileges for years en- joyed by Canadian exporters of cattle is in high favor with British farmers, who have been crying for proteotion against Can- adians, and Dlr. Herbert Gardner, President of the British Board of Agriculture, is de- termined to have the preempt state of affairs continue for an indefinite period.' Can- adians should have no trouble in recovering from this "blow." Let them imitate Ameri- cans by establishing packing houses and get nearly an the profit there is in raising cattle for the table. It will be a new industry ; capable of immense expansion, from British Columbia to the Eastern Provinces. The trade will, of course, have te undergo a re- volution ; but capital, brains, and energy will have enlarged opportunities Older a policy that will keep the Canedian 'feeder busily engaged up to the point of slaughter. Stock yards ehould in the near future dot the cattle raieing districts of the Dominion, and the dead meat trade grow into one of the most important industries in the land. Let our neighbors turn that obnoxious order to good account by adopting the American plan made familiar by the operations of Ar- mour, Morris, Swift, the liatleys and scores of others whose energy and capital have contributed so much to the prosperity of the United States. Let them give some of their young men a chance to add immensely to the industrial life of the country." THE HURON EXPOSITOR. years ago there was a great ory there for . Sunday street oars, all for the sake of the wor)tinginan and his family, of pours% The whams was badly defeated at the polls, but that did not convince the demagogues, the walking delegates, the professional agitetors andlthe financially interested 'parties who professed to represent Toronto's working- men,. They elaimed that It was the wealthy people who could afford to take their vaca- tion on weekdays who had defeated the by- law. awl so they have had another by-law prepared which will be submitted in the heat of summer, when those miserably sel- fish rich people will be out of the oity. The street railway company, which, of course, does it for the sake of the working men, is putting up the money necessary to secure vote on the question, and the advocates of Sunday street cars, before enumerated, ex- pect to be triumphantly victorious. We think they will be surprised and grievously disappointed. The working men of Toronto, if they are like most of their brethren, are a pretty level headed lot ; they know the thin end of a wedge when they see it, and we shail be surprised indeed if they vote away their right to one day oat of seven, a day of rest and quiet in the midst of their families, whom they seldom see all together at any other time. They know that Sunday street oars are but they do not sit on the The Export Hay Trade. The exporting of hay to Great Britain is a comparatively new industry. For years, more or lees hay haft been bailed and sent to various parts of the neighboring republic, but it is only within the past few months that anything of any account has been sent across the Atlantic. There is a hay famine in England and in some parts of France. Last year the hay crop in England wae very light and this year, owing to ary weather, it 'is almost an entire failure. This accounts for -the boom in hay on this side. This,also, will insure a good demand in Britain for the present crop of hay. We do not fancy, however, that prices here will reach to too high a point. Hay is a bulky and a very perishable article and the distance is very great. The risks, therefore, in shipping are considerable.. In addition to this, with hay as witty almost every other article in the British market, quality is a very import- ant factor in determining price. John Ball ia always willing to pay a good price if he can get conditions to snit him, but he is not easily suited and especially with Canadian products. In the first place, his hay must be in prime oondition ; in the second place, it must be of a particular quality, clover and timothy well mixed, and in the third place it must be -baled in a particular way, and the bales must be of a certain size. All‘ these conditions complied with, he will buy readily, but he will " kick " just as readily on very slight provocation, and when he does kick the Canadian shipper usually gets 1 the worst of it, as he is so far ' from the port of delivery and the expense, of bolding are SO great that he has to take what he can get rather than run the risk of throwing good money after bad. It is much the same in the egg tradeethe apple trade and the trades in all perishable products. The deka, owing to dietance, are so many and the losses so frequent, that the amount lost between the producer and consumer is frequently very great, thus keeping doWn the profits of the former. There is another very serious ele- ' ment to be reckoned with, and that is the steamship companies. There seems to be a lack of competition in outbound freights, and, consequently, any rise in the market in any product is followed by a corresponding rise in freight rates. Here, spine_ another large share of the profits that ehould go to the producer and the dealer goes into the cliffers of the transportation companies. Taking everything into account, therefore, we think it would not be wise for people to build on exorbitant prices for hay. It will, no doubt, be a fair price for this season. Fortunately, for all concerned, there was a lerge crop here last year. That has been well cleaned up by this European 'demand, and our farmers have got fair pricee. There is also a bountiful crop this season and it has been well saved, and we may fairly ex- pect to obtain just as. good, or perhaps a shade better prices for it, than We received for the last crop. In this way the hay will help to mak,e up ia some measure for the low serice of wheat and for the temporary dullness in fatted cattle. We know there is a prejudice against selling hay, and it is considered a mark of bad farming to sell hay. It is held that it ehould be all fed on the farm. This contentioe, however, is like a greet many others ; it is sounder in theory than in practice. Of course there are times when it wilt pay better to feecl all kinds of crops on the farm than to sell them. But these things must aIl be regulated by com- mon sense. There is no more harm in send- ing hay off the farm than there is in sending off wheat, if a paying price is got for it. But it is bad policy to raise bay and eell it at a loss, as it is equally bad policy to raise wheat and sell it at a loss. In fact, if hay can be produced and sold at a profit,it is bet- ter to grow it than fall wheat, as it is eas- ier on the land. It must be remembered,how- ever, that this foreign demand is due to ex- ceptional causes, and is, consequently, only temporary. If hay were an abundant crop in the Old Country, it would not pay to grow it here for export. of his nooses is his industry. That and that alone brought him to the front and - kept him there. Of course he wee first tak- en into the ministry by Sir John Macdonald because he was the leader of the Oriengemen, but he has ceased to boa representative Or- angeman many years and in order to main- tain the order within the Conservative ranks Mr. Clarke Wallace was taken in. Mr. Bowell is not a shrewd man, nor has he a cool judgment. He is not a student of history and does not draw any lessons from the past. He is not a leader in any senile and the most that can be said of him is that he closely attends to his duties, having few ties to keep him from them. Notwithstand- ing all this Mr. Bowel! hite achieved the distinction Of being acting Premier. This he would never have done if mediocrity had not dietinguished the Cabinet as a whole for the past number of years, or if the majority were not as Mr. Davin described them, "cor- ner grocery statesmen." The Governor General has departed and there will be an interregnum until the mid- dle of September, when Lord Aberdeen comes out to assume the office. The latter is already taking an active interest in Can- adian affaire as is seen by his introduction to the Eng.lish 'Minister of Agricelture of the deputation which went to ask Mr. Gardner to remove Canadian cattle from the sched- ule. It is regrettable that Sir Charles Tup- per was shut out from acoompanying that deputation by his intemperate language and abuse of the Government of the day. Al- though now an old man Sir Charles Tupper is still hot headed and has such a strong bias in favor of the Salisbury Tories that he has at length shown it openly. It would be an unpardonable error for an ambassador from a foreign country to England to criticise .the English Government. He would be recalled at once. Sir Charles Tupper's pos- ition is akin to that of a foreign Minister, and his conduct therefore is a very serious matter. He has made himself a sort of a diplomstio 'outlaw in London, and was so sensible of this himself that he dared not ac- company the deputation which interviewed the delinieter of Agriculture. Sir Charles Tupper, in 1891, placed himself in such a position that the United States Govern- ment would not receive him again as a di- plomatic agent of the British or Canadian Government, and he knows that so well that since then he leas refrained from going there. It is quite evident that Sir Charlee Tupper's usefulness begone, and the sooner he is retired from the public eervice the bet- ter it will be in the interests of Canada. It is said that he will sail for Canada this week on private business. It is probable that he requiree to confer with the Government over the matter of the French Treaty, which he made such a bad muddle of that 'Parlia- ment refused to sanction it. The ptrtial returns of the revenue and ex- penditure for the twelve months of the fiscal year, ending on the 30th of June, show that the revenue will be in the neighborhood of $37,000,000, or over a million dollars in ex. .cess of the expenditure on consolidated fund account. There is of course, the capital expenditure in addition. These are only approximate figures, however, and it will be some months yet before they can be verified. The Government have notified Lieutenant Governor Royal, ot the Northwest Territor- ies, that his successor will not be appointed until the first of September. It in still un- derstood that Mr. Mackintosh, senior mem- ber for Ottawa City, will get the appoint- ment. At all enents he says himself that he has got it, but he may have been playing the same game as Lieutenant Governor Schultz played when he wanted the Govern- orship of Manitoba. He got the correspond- ent of a Winnipeg paper to telegraph that it was likely he would be appointed, and to say bow popular the appointment would be. He then showed this to the Prime Minister as an indiostion of the popular feeling and finally worked the oracle so as to receive the appointment. An examination of the first volume of the census discloses the fact that there are few- er natives of Ireland and fewer natives of Scotland in Canada now than there were ten years ago. The natives of England however, have considerably increased. An examination of the foreign born immigrants in the Northeenest and Manitoba discloses a loss of 122,0D0 immigrants from that coun- try during the last ten years, provided the figures published by the Government at Ots'- tawa, as to the number of immigrants that went in during these ten years, are correct. If allowance was made for the natural in- crease the loss woald of course be vern mach greater. The fact that even the Irish and Scotch inhabitants of the country .who . die are not having their places filled by 'in- -migrants from thole) countries is a very lamentable fact indeed, in view of the large immigration to the United States now going on of both Irish and Scotoh. During the last ten years 653,000 Irish landed in the United States, while the number in Canada during the same period actually decreased. Another regrettable fact is that the number of Germans in Ontario has not increased over the number present in 1881. As the Germans are a most desirable class of imnii- grants this is a Fever() loss to the Province of Ontario. Notwithstanding oun great losses of imminrants we have spent since 1879 nearly $4,000,000 on immigration and yet the number of immigrants in Canada to- day beonly 36,000 greatei than the numner ten years ago,and the number of immigrants from the British Islands, England, Ireland and Scotland, is only 3,600 greater than ten years ago, taking it on the average for, as already loointed out, the number from Soot - land and Ireland is smaller. It is time that some statesrnen arose in the land cspable of geappling !successfully with the immigration problem. Mr. Robert Venning, of the DepartMent of Marine and Fisheries, who has been' ap- pointed British agent at the Russian Islands, under the terms of the Convention between the British Government end the Czer re- specting the restriction of sealing within a certain distance of the Russian Islande, has left for his post. Mr. Venning is an excel- lent man for the position, and being young Vial doubtless strive to make a reputation the beginning, and if project in a most em- phatic manner they are much less sensible than we have always had reason to believe Ahem to be. The Race of Heroes not yet Extinct. In this commonplace age, in this moat commonplace and practical of countries, we are more apt to laugh than to adndre, and no country is less given to mock heroics,but that true heroes are yet to be found among us is amply proven by two incidents that have come under our notiee within the past few days. The first showed an unselfish heroism that could scarcely be surpassed. A lady and her little neice, who had been pieced in her care, went berry picking, and While returning along tbe railway track au ap- proaching train whistled behind themn The little girl became panic stricken, and in. stead of stepping off to the side, ran along betw een the rails at her utmest speed. Her aunt, regardless of her own danger, started after her, and managed to cetch up to her, but before she could push her from the track the locomotive struck them, killing butte. The second incident occurred near Sar- nia. Two little brothers were playing in a barn, which caught fire. The elder got out of the building sefely,but on looking around found that his younger brother was not with him, as he had sapnosed. He at once rushed into the burning building, but was driven back. He tried again, got inside and found the smaller boy lying on the floor overcome by the smoke. He tried to drag him Mit, but was unable to do so. He was obliged to leave him and try to save himself. He reaphed the outside, but was so badly injured tbat he has since died. Braver and more unselfish deeds than these have seldom been chronicled, and we people of Ontario should be proud that there is such stuff among us. _ face badly bruised.

About noon lightning struck the end of the building and ignited. One horse was killed. The flames spread fast. Neighbors gathered and worked with a determined will to save all they could, but the flames spnead so rapidly that about tvienty tons of hay! were consumed, also a -binder, plow, harnefie,oats, chopped feed, lumber &c. The loss will be from $1,500 to $2,01)0. The property was insured in the London Mutual for $6e-000. Mr. Currie cut his knee severely with an axe while endeavoring to remove some of the nailed boards. One of his brothers narrow- ly escaped death in the flames while assiet- ing in the removal of contents of the building. —At a congregational meeting of the Wingham Presbyterian Church recent- ly. held, a report from special auditors pre- viously appointed to exa,mine the books of the Treasurer and Pew Stewart from 1888 to 1891 was read and the following resolu- tion adopted : Moved and seconded that this meeting deplores and strong- ly deprecates the unseemly and un- warrantable assertions made by cer- tain ministers and others, both on the floor of the Presbytery of Maitland and outside of it, to the effect that the deputation from the managers and members of the Wingham Session, who waited on Mr. McQuarrie in the fall of 1888, " went to him with a lie in their mouth." The falsity of such saver - done is clearly shown by the report of the auditore—Messrs. W. B. Hutton, James A. Cline and W. 0. Stuart—lately appointed to examine and report upon the financial standing of the congregation at the time re- ferred to, wherein it is too plainly shown that the affeirs of the congregation were in a n.uoh worse state then than the deputa- tion represented them to be ; and the Pres- bytery of Maitland is hereby respectfully asked to enjoin upon certain of its members the propriety of refraining from further cir- culating false and damsgiog reports about the Wingham congregation or any particular member thereof.

About ten years ago he retired from farming and went to live in Fordwioh, where he died. There is, also, another point to be con- sidered. The present demand _for hay is likely to cause more to go into the shiPping business than should. With hay it is likely to be as it was last year with apples. The leusineas was over -done, inferior stuff was shipped, and good stock was frequently in- jured be• irnproper packing and care, and the reeuIt was Ioss and disappointment.

The aerman Army Bill has at last passed the Reichstag, by a majority of sixteen, and Premier Aron Caprivi is in a joyous mood in consequence, as is also his royal master, Emperor William. So Militarism is still dominant in Germany, whatevertmay be said to the contrary. Thie was a straight contest on principle, for the amount of money involved or th e proposed increase in taxes was not sufficient alone to have caused all the conflict the Army Bill has given rise to. It was the principle that was at issue ; the question really was should Ger- many continue to be the first military na- tion in the world, or should she throw off the burden of military despotism. The answer has come in the passing of the Army bill and, for the present at least, militarism holds the field, and the poor toil- er, who really produces the taxes to sup- port the Army, must continue to sweat and save and starve in the interests of military glory, and to keep a lot of idlers in luxury. A Lesson for Sabbath Desecrators, Our readers all know more or less about the tremendous fight that was waged in re- gard to the opening of the World's Fair on Sundays.- Everything that could be done was done by Sabbatarians to keep the big ehow closed, but their efforts came to naught. All their eloquence, their petitions, their injunctions, could avail nothing. The 'F‘air was opened on Sundey—but it is closed again. The chief, and almost the only, ar- gument used by those in favor of Sunday opening was that it would benefit the work- ing people. They chlimed that the work- men and their families had no other day free to see the beauties of and be educated by the great Exposition. Many and elo- quent were the Om put forth on behalf of the'wOrkman and hie family. The- gates were opened on Sunday, but strange to nay, the workmen and their families remained at home • the thing was a financial failure in ' like a successful stock dealer away from consequence, and the gates have been closed again, last Sabbath being the last open day. The same thing happened a couple of years ago in regard to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Had the Direc- tors of the World's Fair but taken a lesson from the experience of the Managing Board of the Museum of Art, they would have saved themselves a vast deal of trouble and a good deal of money.

WHILE the Christian Endeavor Conven- tion was in session at Montreal, there oc- curred what came near being a serious riot on aocount of an tette* on Roman Catholic- ism alleged to have been made by a speaker at the Convention, a converted Hindoo from India. A mob gathered in the evening and things wore such a threatening aspect that it was neneessary to give up the usual even- ing meeting in the immense tent on thn Champ de Mars. Nothing serious oocurred, however, as the mob was broken up by a large squad of police and the delegates were escorted out of danger by a force of volun- teers in plain clothed. It now appears that all this ado' was about nothing. The words complained of were 'niftily never uttered by the Hindoo minister and the rowdy ele- ment of Montreal as well as some of the French Press are put in a position that is far from being a creditable one. mommaresmasmeMe THE DOMINION CAPITAL.

THAT BASE BALL MATCH. —DEAR EDITOR.: I wish to say a few words regarding a base ball match which took place a short time ago, between the Chippewas, or more cor- rectly the Swamp Angels, and a team from 13arrie's school section. Seven innings was the number which was to have been played, but owing to a dispute the game came to a terminus at the end of five innings. Of course the Swamp Angels have a mania for milling disputes when they find they are no match for their opponents. In order to show the readers of your paper how the game stood at the end of the fifth innings, I will quote from the seore book, which our opponents cannot gainsay. It is as folio- ws, giving the names of the players : BARRIE'S 8. 8. .SWAMP ANGELS. R. 0. R. .), D. Smith, 5 1 L. Russell, 3 1 W, Smith, 5 1 W. Cook, 2 0 W. Forsyth, 4 2 W. Russell, 3 1 B. Smith, 5 1 A. Halliday, 2 1 J. Forsythe 5 1 W. Harina ] 3 3 3 1 1 0 A. Pybus, 2 3 W.Miehie, 3 J. Nichol, 9 1 J. Cook, 4 J. Kernochan, 4 1 E Cantelon, 6 S. Walker, 3 2 C. Michie, 6 Runs, 36 ; outs, 13. Runs, 33 ; outs, 13. This shows conclusively that the team from Berrie's school section had the best of the game by two rune. So much for the scribe who sent in the report. If he had seasoned hie remarks with a little truthfulnese it would certainly look much better. As re- gards the umpire, who by the way, is a grocer, there is not much' to be said, as he is a properin qualified person and quite capa- ble of performing his ditty while acting in that or any other position. If the Swamp Angels are not sstisfied with the above re- sult, we will play them on any ground for from $10 to $20, or more. W. SMITH, Cap- tain.
