P., of Euglaud, has been in Canada the past couple of weeks investigating the live cattle export trade with a view of embody- ing the result of his inquiries and observations in it hill that is to be brought before the Imperial Peaia- ment. English legislators have sug- gested the prohibiting of the land- iug of live cattle iu that country from any place beyond the seas, owing to the alleged ill treatment of stock and the loss of life on board of ship. The cattle men in Montreal met Mr. Plimsoll before an investigating committee and all the evidence tended to show that cattle on ships were as a rule treated humanely. All agreed that separate compartments for each annual should be provided so as to prevent overcrowding, and that a Govern- ment Inspector should be appointed to soe that proper accommodations were provided. Mr. Plimsoll also "met representative cattle men in Toronto. He 18 a great exaggerator of the ill treatment cattle receive on hot rd of ship. Our well-known cattle dealer of Clinton, Mr. James 1learn, has crossed the Atlantic 17 times, on most of the occasions with cattle of his own, and he says that cattle suffer more or the cars from Clinton to Toronto than from Montreal to England. He men- tioned a recent case. Ile sold 21 head of Christmas cattle to S. Smith of Toronto. Mr. Hearn says they were the finest lot of cattle ever shipped from Huron county. They went forward in charge of ...en expert. When they derived . in Torouto they werlCin such a bruised and ba'tered condition, that the Treronto butchers, who had been advised of their coining and of their being choice stock, refused to buy them at any 'price for Christ- mas beef. And Mr. Smith instead of making $50 or $60 had to sell them at a loss of $100. Of course fat cattle will he more easily injur- ed than stockers, but AIr. Hearn who is a tnau of experience and good judgment, declares that the investigation so far has not brought out this Very important feature of land transportation. He avers that su far as injury to cattle during transportation from Clinton to Liverpool they receive far more injury on the way from here to Montreal than during the ocean voyage. Mr. Hearn admits that shippers are not blatneless. They want to get their cattle carried as cheaply as possible, and when one man endeavors to cheapen., the cost of tranait by overcrowding in cars othets will follow. He admits it is penny wise and pound foolish con- duct, but competition often drives men to unbusiness like methods. Our informant is positive that if the Dominion Parliament will com- pel railway companies to have a separate compartment for each animal in their cattle car's, that they would reach Montreal in such good condition that the prima cause of deterioration and mortality among live eat(% crossing the ocean would be done away tv'th. Mr. Hearn says he has never seen any deteriora- tion of etocic, worth mentioning, in crossing the Atlantic, when the animals had boon put aboard the ship in good condition. He says that public attention cannot be too often or to pointedly called to the necessity for the regulation by government of the mode of convoy- ing live stock from inland points to the seaboard. If the animals are intended for exportso mach the worse are the effects of their treat- ment by the present system of bunching then in, the cars. If they are intended for domestic consump• tion they are touch lessened in ,value. And in both caaea they suffer a certain amount of cruelty unavoidable under existing carrying conditiona. ADVICE ALWAYS A 1310 CROP. An abuudence of advice is the one atop that farmers can always depend upon. The bong and ainew of this noun - try are not suffering from any lack of conned. It is a poor townehip that in these winter days does not sport a meet- ing at which farmers are told how to make farming pay. The informs. tion costa nothing, and it is dear at that priori. The trouble is that the lecturer is some member of parlia- ment who runs a wholesale dry goods buainesas, inherited a fortune or lends money on first mortgagee All these distinguished theorists are sure that farming pays. A desire to escape the curse of riches drove thein away from agricultural pur- suits in early life. They were afraid that they might discover a gold mine with a hoe. Farming does pay sometimes. The road to agricultural wealth is as easy as falling off a log. All that a distressed farmer has to do ie to attend meetings, listen attentive• ly to the remarks of these gentle- men some of whom farm a four - floor warehouse and others culti- vate a hundred -acre law practice. They know how to make farming pay, and the best of it is they will disclose the secret to their fellow- men.—Tekgrant. LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE MEETING. The postponed annual meeting of the West Reding Association met at Smith's Hill Monday last as per announcement. The chair was taken by President Bock, Mr. Stiveu of Goderich acted as Secre- tary, on account of the absence through sickness, of Mr. Jas, Mitchell. The various municipali- ties wore fairly well represented and the names of the delegates read out. There was au attendance of probab- ly 100 persons present, in spite of the day being quite sternly. --Some present -ham'driven over twenty miles. Messrs Malcom Macdonald, Robert Webster and Mr. McLean from near Lucknow, Mr. Owens from near Belgraveand many others (driving from 17 to 19 miles. It was a cheering sign of the grasp which the Grand Old Man and the party which he repiesents have upon the bone and sinew and intelligence of the country to see so many old and young men of all oreeda and racial .descents assembled under such difficulties to give counsel and aid in discussing rnatters pertinent to the good government and the developement of the industrial in- terests of the country. 1'be former officers were re elected with tho addition of Mr. John Beacom as first Vice President. Mr. P. Kelly, Mr. John Beacom,Mr. E. Corbett, 111r. J. M. R6berts, Mr. Andrew Young,Mr. Robert Webster, Mr. Jaynes Johnston and other vice presidents of the various muni- cipalities referred to the prime im- portance of getting the names of Conservatives on the Dominion voters' lista at the very earliest opportunity, as it will cost consider- able money to get thein there later on. All agreed we have got the material to carry West Huron at next elections by a large ,majority, but the names of voters must be on the lists. It was shown how great were the Conservative losses at both the last Dominion 'and Local elec- tions, by not having all . the legally entitled voters on the lists. Scores of good votes were left off through carelessness. It was earnestly hoped that this will not be the case again It ie the names ou the voters' lists that count, not the names on the assessment rolls. A resolution expressive of con- fidence in the Right Hon. Sir. John A Macdonald and his colleagues and of congratulation on the Premier having recently completed his 76th year, and wishiug him many more year's of life to guide the ship of State,was enthueiastioal ly and unanimously carried on a standing vote. In a similar manner the thanks of the meeting wore tendered J. M. Roberta for the energetic and highly honorable manner in which he contested West Huron for the Local House last summer, and congratulating hila on the success 1{" attained in reduc- ing old time majorities. A change of 57 votes would have elected him. A unanimous vote of thanks was given President Beck for the highly satisfactory manner in which he had performed the responsible duties appertaining to his r,osition both as presiding officer and esexecn- tive head of the association. He was also authorized by the meeting to act for the party in West Huron in advising in, the matter of the' poesible arrangement of the Riding which may he made necessary in consequence of altered couditione which may result from the taking of the census this year, in order to comply with statutory and constitu- tional requirements. The names of the vice presidents of the various municipalities will be given next week. Rousing cheers were given for the Queen, Sir John A.Macdobald, J. M. Roberts and President Beck were given and a thoroughly har• monious and profitable meeting was brought to a close. EDITORIAL NOTES. Tho Hamilton Spectator says the present year is not 8o Oy as the last one was The Globe's manufacturer of ro- mance, purporting to be the views of industrial manufacturers who are op"osed to the National Policy and the Conseryative, has kept the cap- tains of industry busy setting them- selves right. The letter from the Guelph Herald, in another column, written by a sewing machine manu- facturer, is a mild sample of the !Wanner in which those interviewed are kicking. Mr. Charltou iu his ecomniercial union advocacy says many funny things. In addressing the young Liberals in Turouto, htotyovrlr the objection that England would not sanction a tariff by Canada against the United. States, by saying that England sanctioned the N. 1'. Now,could anything be more lamp than this 1 ,Britain sanctioned., the N. P. because it did not, disali urin- ate agaitnt iter, Britain would not likely sanction the commercial union fad because it would dis- criminito tgainst her. Iu trade mat ters all outside countries are equal before the tariff laws of Canada. If Wiman, Charlton and Cartwright had their way one foreign country would have froo access to our mar- keta, and our own people in Britain bo shut out from us by a 60 per cent tariff. Cranks start up every now and again with the cry that they have found something new. This is the case in matters religious, political and scientific. They by to make martyrs o'' thotnselves to what they are pleased to call their progressive views and reform principles. 10 the great mass of maukind the Bible and Christianity was unknown for centuries or disbelieved in. Men of so-called pr'ogresaive ideas would thrust mankind again back in the dark ages and then call this reform. Christianity is especially a system of progreasion; infidelity is retro- gression. Peter was an improve- ment upon John- the Baptist, Paul upon Peter, John the Apostle upon Paul, and the best Christian thought of to -day is an improvement upon that of the first and succeeding eras of Christianity. The same retrogression of ideas is noticed among political reforiners as may bo noticed among religious reformers. The Dublin Express publishes a statement to the effect that Glad- stone, writing to a friend, says he fears his end has come as far as public life and politics are concern- ed. With all respect for the Grand Old Man's past pre-eminent abili- ties and services his later years eccentric conduct will justify the conolusion he is said to have arriv- ed at. OUR Grand Old Man, Sir John A. Macdonald, appears to be so mentally and physically robust that the country can reasonably look forward to his shaping tho destinies of this Dominion for many years yet. Last Sunday Sir John celebrated his 76th birthday. And he is a lively old "boy" yet. Only last week he opened a toboggan slide at Ottawa with as firm a nerve as he holds the executive power of the country, and climbed up the hill again in a race with several young ladies and would have beaten thele as he was not "blown" a bit,but hie natural gallantry allowed then) to take precedence. A recent American paper says -- "The Stara and stripes are the emblems of peace as well as power Various cities have ordered the flag •fixated above their school -Nausea. Heretofore the flag has floated front the wings of the Capitol at Waelt- ington only when the Senate and Douse were in sesei.on. Hereafter it is proposed to float the flag from the center of Jhe Capitol and on both sidesr all the year round. Every public building in the coun- try should be similarly deeiguated. We can not have too much of the flag." This puts to shame the few grovelling Canadians who say we can have too much "Union Jack" which overtope Himalaya high the Stars and Stripes whether as an emblem of peace or power ur moral- ity or equal rights. The Hamilton Times, the Grit. paper of Hamilton, says"Mr. Gib- son gut $7,500 from the Ontario Government to help build the west eud sewer. But Mr. Stinson could not get as many cents to help along the job." And yet with the promise of this sop the electors of Hamilton repudiated Mr. Gibson and the Ontario Government whose Minister he was and whose Minister he is, in violation of constitutional usage and responsible govern weut When 11.e Dominion Government expends money on public works in which the whole country is interested the fnctionista of the Oppositiou charge the Tories with buying up the country wholesale. 13ut when Mr. Mowat grants $7,500 of l'rovincial,niont.y for the purpose of such a purely local matter as a sewer iu tl{u city of Hamilton it is all right and ,lir. Mowers local olgau cruwa over the f.tct of it being a bribe to help elect Mr. Gibson. Mit. RAYMOND) ANC) THE TRADE QUESTION, SIR,—You will notice by theToron• to Globe and Gueluh .Mercury of yes- teede,y :!- I nave been interviewed by a Globe reporter. The comments made'on,nay words are so far from my real views that I feel, in justice to myself, I must explain. I ern will- ing to abide by everything which I said. In the first place I made this statement : That I ask no bonus, no Government help, any further than to place me on an equal footing with my American competitors. Let me have my material at the same cost that they get theirs and I will risk but what I can hold my own. My second point was that the present duties should not be reduced, but should be raised to be equal to those Imposed on us by the United States. My third point was that if the duties were all taken off sewing maohines so that there should be equal free- dom to sell in either country, my business would not suffer by such a change. Now, Mr. Editor, I do not understand that these views are hostile to the National Policy or the Conservative party. I certainly be- lieve in protecting our Canadian in- dustries all we possibly can. . I have no sympathy with the policy that would open our market to those who shut us out of theirs. When the policy of the United States is chang- ed, or promised to be changed, it will be a seasonable time to fully discuss this question. I remain, Respectfully yours, • CHAS. RAYMOND. Guelph, Jan. 6, 1891. CURRENT TOPICS. THE DRINK OF KINDNESS. In Holsingfo-s, Finland, is a temperance society which was organ- ized just live years ago, and has a membership of 3,000. This society tries to tnilitate against drunkenness, instituting popular theatricals, read- ings, and other entertainments, and keeping in the crowded parts of the city tea end coffee houses where poor laborers can get a meal for nothing. It makes it a special business t.o open such tea houses in the neigh- borhood of rum shops. Dec. 2 this society celebrated its fifth annivers- ary, at which the highest Govern- ment representatives were present, and complimented tho leaders on the useful work they carry on. There is less drunkenness in Ilels- ingfore than in any oilier city of the Russian empire. IN AND ABOUT THE COUNTY. —The saw -mill in East bVawanosh be- longing to Mr. T. H.
