The dire Of Canada being strong corporation, requested requeated the Government to allow corn for distill ery purposes to be brought in free, which was granted, and now 75,000,- 000 pounds of corn is brought in to the exclusion of our rye, which was worth from 75 to 85 cents a bushel, and would be so still if the duty re• mained on corn, but now rye is only 45 cents to 56 cents per bushel, as it must be shipped to Germany to make fat Dutchman instead of being used in our own country. This is AN „INJUSICE TO FARMERS. who grow rye, especially to those along our lake shores, on very light land, and cannot grow anything but rye, many of them being obliged to desert. their farms, as they cannot growIt at such prices. Agair., we will mention the article of pork. While in'the North-west last summer I met on the Calgary and Edmonton trail about 600 horses and oxen load• ed with supplies for the Indians : there were also 200 horses on the Regina trail and a large number on the trail north of Winnipeg. Now, the numerous wagons and carts are loaded with flour, tobacccesugar, etc., but their principal load is fat, pork. The question arises, where did all this amount of pork come from.? Not from Ontario, but from Chicago, they receiving the Government and Hud- son Bay Company contract, and are allowed to bring it in duty free, to the exclusion of Canadian pork, and we are obliged to take often less than the Government contract for our pork, and rue obliged to pack it. and seek a foreign market, paying heavy freights and commission. Whereas we could have a home mar- ket and use our own railways for transport. This is a sample of free trade and we lose largely by it. This loss of the pork tra Pof t Northw oidoesday. Jan.

FARMER THOMAS-- ELMES' FAMOUS ADDRESS BEFORE THE SOUTH BRANT FARMERS' INSTITUTE • — Following ie a poetical of the text of the address delivered at the Farm• era' Institute of South Brant by Mr. Thomas Elmes, of Princeton (Reformer), under the title, "Farm- ers of Canada, are we slaves or vassals of the United States I Never." A stranger coining into our coun- try and reading our different politi- cal uewspapere, and heariug on every aide the piteous cry to the United States for auuexatiou, cent mercial nuiou, free trade, reciproci ty, or scene other treaty, would naturally suppose we are in pet feet slavery to them, and our very being was entirely depeudiug on them -- indeed, our lives entirely in their hands. Now, it is my intention to show this is entirely false and ri- diculous in the extreine. Indeed, I shall endeavor to show that it would he greatly to our edvautage. to .ever our ielatioushi p with them entirely—Shake off the yoke we have allowed them to place upou us, and stand erect like men and say, to chem. "Thue far shalt thou come and n� farther." Ontario, the flower of the Domin iou, is, truthfully speakiug, the garden of the world.

BE TRUE TO BRITAIN. As a couutry, as regards our natural defence, we are probably the weakest in the world, having a frontier of about 4,000 with a popu- lation of about 5,000,000 stretched along the entire length. But though so disadvantageously situat- ed as regards defence we are not forced to keep a etandiug army, as we are under the protection of Great Britain, and a simple roar of the British lion is more effectual for our defence than if we had every inch of our frontier enclosed with • an impenetrable Nv a 1 1 and mounted with cannon m4uned by thousands of soldiers. Still with all • our uatural and teitiond a.lvantages we" find that some of our people dare to talk of annexation to the United States of America. They virtually say, let us turn air backs upon the mother country, who has spilt so much of her blood upon the differ- ent battlefields of our country in our defence ; lot us insult the memory of those who perished at the post of duty ; let us destroy the monuments erected to .eerpettiete their memory ; let us cast their ashes to the four winds of heaven. Shall this ever be allowed 1 Let every true British heart, from every part of the vast Empire stretched around the globe, shout with one united voice, Never ! Never ! 1 As this never will bo allowed, and as the United States are already too large to agree atnoue themselves— the northis divided against the south, and the oast against the west —it is unnecessary to mention itn y - thing further in relation to the annexation of Canada to that coun- try, but simply treat it as it should be; with silent contempt. eitletr,ports o $ notte eceive any rlertiele we are short of, .and y ,sa.v r when our Wants are BlIPPlied close (m ()lir national debt will also be an effectual barrier in the way of free trade, as it reaches the respectable sun of sm,opo,000, and we receive from customs alone $2.1,000,000, and from excise $14,000,000. If these enormous amounts were levied an4 nually by direct taitation, it must come directly out of the farmer's pocket, and this would Overwhelm agriculture in hopeless bankruptcy. Direct taxation is impossible owing to our indebtedness,. as the land would pay the tax while the capital. ist, the professions, the mechanics and laborers would go free from Government support, something worthy of re til consideration. Horace Greely said : 'Go west, young man." The young man went weet, from the New England states, and came into direct competition with the old man on the old farm. The old gent was worsted, and fib many instances was obliged to desert his farm, as he could not compete with the young computition of the west. This would be our fate if we had free trade with the American peon ple. 4. 1WriKal9no Medloinek—Mr. J.11.

Manitoba is said to suffer from haying to pay more for agricultural imples ments on its account. I believe this is entirely without foundation as I found when there last summer. I could purchase for cash any imple- ment nearly as cheaply as in On- tario, and the Manitoba farmer has the satisfaction of knowing that he is dealing with reliable firms in his own country, and if anythipg is wrong with his implement or machine it will be tnade right 'at once. But with regard to the credit price of the implements in that province it must of necessity be high, as the people there as a whole are poor beginners and the uncertainty of grain crops on which they wholly depend does not make their credit first class, consequently the credit price must of necessity be rather high to com- pensate for losses. And even it American iwplemeuts were admitted tree they could not be sold a particle cheaper if as good an article. But the Manitoba farmer receives more by having his wheat protected ; re- ceiving more for it than if the millers were allowed to bring in American wheat duty free. Again, there is greater profit in a home market for our produce than in sending it to a distance in search of a market. But to have a home market we must have population. Now the beat means to secure this is to encourage hoine manufactures by protection, which will make prosper- ous cities, towns and villages, and the farmer, mechanic and manufac- turer can rejoice together.

' MR. Geo. ToLss, Druggist, Gravenhurat, Opt., writes : "My customers whohave used NORTHROP& 1...TESAN'E VEGETABLEDISCOVERY 80.y GIRL ithas done them more good than anything they ever used."' , Our manufacturers are continually crying out for protection, why not the farmer? What are we begging free trade off the Americans for? We have a far better market than they can possibly give us now free and open. As we have hown Britain we can produce the very best article, for instance. our cattleer chemeieeee, flour,-Pels, eggs, ruit, barley and oats, it we grow heavy varieties. Our butter trade would also have been enormous if we had not had too much connection with the American butter made from tallow, lard and soap grease, it will take some time to recover our good name which they have ruined, but if e deal honestly and play Our cities will decay. Our towns deserted and our villages wiped out of existence, and the A tnericans would laugh at the downfall of our country. But we are not obliged to have free trade or commercial union with them, or indeed any other treaty, as we have A BETTER MARKET for our products than they could possibly give us, and we are beginning to use it to good advantage. The surplus farm produce of the Domin- ion is about $156,000,000, and of this our benne market absorbs $110,000,- 009, pr 73 per cent: Great Britain $23,000,000, or 15 per cent : the United etates $15,000,000, or 10 per cent. Then we have other countries with which we are opening up a large and profitable trade —the West India trade, for instance. On Octo ber 14 last there were lying at Hali, fax, to be shipped to 'frinidad 40 carloads of merchandise, consisting of horses, oats, potatoes, cheese, butter, beans dry goods, medicine' glass, varnish, paper, woodenware, organs and pianos, boots and shoes, wire 'mattresses. tinware and other articles including the Manitoba exhibit. In fact there is a vast trade opening there. In 'return we will receive their products consisting of sugaresenotasses,fruits—indeed nearly all tropical products we require. We are exporting to Great Britain about $6,500,000 worth of cattle and about $9,000,000 worth of cheeae, while the Americans are only paying us $4,500,000 for barley for which we might have received $10,000,000, if we had the British market, and grew what they required, viz., two row ed barley. The British market can also be used for our peas, fruit, butter, bacon, eggs, etc., which are meeting with good remunerative prices. Another class of our people are hogging for commercial union or free trade with that country, instead of a protective tariff as we now have. This is worthy of our careful consideration at the present time. The la -it few years there has been a commercial stagnation all over the world, and men have been looking for straws to grasp at. The favorite straws in Canada have been commer- cial union, a free trade With United •States. This is alt a delusion, nor can we receive any suitable benefit from a country who, like ourselves, are producers, not constitnets to any great extent. Our legitimate market is Great Britain, from them we must hope for a profitablemarket for our stir plus productions. It is that coun- try that rules the markets of the world, beingthe largest consumer, while the United States are our most formidable competitors for that market. It is self-evident to all that we MUST HAVE PROTECTION of different kinds ie this our coun• try if we reasonably expect to prosper and advance aa a people. For instance, a few years ago there was no duty on cotton goods coming intoCanada from the United States. I called at the time at one of the largest cotton mills in Ameri- ca, between Philadelphia and Baltimore. 1 was shown into the IN SNOW -BALLING SEASON. 1 FLUTES OF 'rHE PYRAMIDS.

Can we com- pete with these countries? We have proved that we can"; our eggs are better quality, more uniform in ',drape and size on account of better breed- ing. We can deliver in less time than many of these countries. Ours pass over the cool waters of the Atlantic while theirs must pass over the warm waters of the Mediteran, nean much to their detriment. Our present market with the Americans is simply a gatnbling one. CANADIAN NEWS NOTES. HAD OUR SCALE.

And if we were raising good, heavy white oats suitable for the British market we would not be receiving as we now are, only about an average of 30cents but a much higher price. But let us once open our ports to American oats, whieh are at present worth in Kansas about 9 oente a bushel ; Iowa, 16 cents; Illinois, 16 cents and other states in proportion, and down would come our oats far below what they now are, and in a season of scarcity like the present we would have the pleaaure of selling our oats for about 25 cents instead of 50 cents.
