EGG TALK.
The Americans the past season
paid as-'inuoh ruouey for seven
million dozens of Canadian eggs as
they did the season previous for
twelve million dozens. The greater
part of the difference in cost went
into the American Treasury, asmall-
er moiety of the difference went
into the pockets of the Canadian
producers, owing to better prices
obtainable through tho opening up
of the English market. During the
year ending 30th June 1890 we'
sent to England only 3,600 dozens
of eggs; for the year ending 30th
Juno 1891 we sent to England
950,000 dozens.
It is almost heart-rending to read
of the devices the Americans have
to resort to in order to obtain a sub-
stitute for The genuine Canadian
hen fruit which by an excessive
duty they have raised the price of
so enormously. On another page
we reproduce from a St Louis,
Missouri,papor a detailed account of
chemically prepared eggs, the basis
of which- is corn meal, and which is
being largely used in the cities of
the States.
Then we find in the Michigan
Farmer a description of a plant
that is said to produce a fruit that
cannot bo distinguished from the
product of the hon. It is being in-
troduced. into California. We „clip
from the Farmer :—
"This plant boars hard•boitod
eggs for fruit. At least the fruit
resembles a hard•boiled egg with
the shell taken off, as nearly as a
truly egg can. There are three eggs
on a single plant—one as large as
a pigeou's egg, another the eine of
a turkey's product and the third is
about five and a half inches long by
two and a half wide. In color they
are identical to tile bluish -white of
the cooked at ticle of the hen produe
tion. Tho fruit possesses , no de-
fect. It cannot be hatched into
broilers."
While some jellyfish Canadiaus
are bewailing the goes of the Ameri-
can market for Canadian eggs, it
does not appear from the volume of
exports to England in that lino and
the excellent prices realized that we
have need of much sympathy. On
the other hand wo cannot but ex-
tend words of commiseration to our
cousins across the lino who, by their
fatuous policy, are compelled to use
artificially made hen fruit and have
their stomachs turned into a deposit
for the product of the chowiets
laboratory; or who have to put up
with a garden sass imitation of the
real thing instead of the nutritious
annual product. Verily the Ameri-
cans! aro biting off their noses to in-
jure thoir own stomachs and
pockets. However, time rights all
things, and the Americans will yet
learn that there is no better way of
producing hen fruit. Apropos to
thio is the remark of the fatuous Dan-
ielO'Cpnnell when expatiationing ou
the progress of the times, how this
and that was made by machinery.
That he wouldn't bo surprised to
l.n.,tr,,AL c}ljl�grtnbeipl; tzla(to.b
machinery. "Then you'll never
get my man's vote if you're in favor
of that," spoke up a well preserved
matron, "we'll still believe in the
ould way."
AN OLD 11 URON REFORMER.
Supplementary to our remarks,
anent Grit and 'Tory -last week. we
:night refer, in illustration of our
contention, to the ease of Mr. Chas.
Girvin of West \Vuwanosh, ox•
warden of Cho county and who
probably served longer in the county
council of Huron than any man
now living, Mr. Girvin is a life
long Reformer. IIe was out with
the loyalists and helped to suppress
the rebellion of 37-33, IIo was an
equally staunch supporter of order
and the Queen's power during the
Mei rebellion, and though over three
score years at that time had sufr
cient of the tiro of youth to have
gond to the front it' necessary. The
county council happened to be
sitting in Goderich when the coun-
try was agitated over Riel's miser-
ably mistaken efforts in defying the
power of the Crown ou account of
imaginary grievances fanned by un-
scrupulous agitators for political
purposes. While discussing Riel's
uprising in the sitting room of a
hotel a fellow member of the council,
of Grit proclivities, hazarded the
elatement that Riel and his handful
of followers were the loyal men and
that the volunteers sent to suppress
the uprising wero the rebels. Mr.
Girvin mildly protested against
such pernicious views, casually re
marking that he was an old time
volunteer and helped to put down
the McKenzie rebellion. The other
replied that Girvin was the rebel in
that case too. This was more than
Mr. Girvin could stand. And
though of a particularly peaceful
disposition, and an old man withal,
while his libeller was a comparative-
ly young man of more than ordinary
physical proportions, he propared,
after a wordy interchange of com-
pliments, to convince his opponent
that the man who insisted lie was a
rebel because be fought on the side
of British authority in aBritish coun-
try was as badly mistaken as ever
Riel was., *His opponent, however,
whether from a consciousness of
the untenablonesa of his position, or
for some other reason, apologized
and a fistic encounter was prevented.
These two men belonged to the
Liberal party, but one wase Reform •
er representing the larger and butter
element of the party, while the
other was a Grit representing the
fag end of a small faction in the
party, And we believe there is not
a man in the Reform party of Huron
today who is held in'greator respoot
by his follows than Mr. Chas,
Girvin. A slight recognition of
this was shown at the recent meet•
ing of the county council when by
unanimous consent of that body,
though he is not now a member,
tile gentleman was asked to take a
seat of honor beside Warden Bock,

weight.
SOME ANNEX ATIO\ MATS.
There are in some counties a few
anneaationists; in some counties
more than in others ; but the agere,
gate number in the Dominion, 1 am
sure, is small as compared with the
aggregate population. The great
majority of our people, I believe and
trust, are not prepared to hand oyer
this great Dominion to a foreign
nation for any present commercial
consideration which may be propos-
ed. We love our Sovereign, and we
are proud of our status as British
sabjects. The imperial authorities
have refused nothing in the way of
self government which our represen-
tatives have asked for. Our com-
plaints are against parliaments and
govcrnmenls, which acquired their
power from our own people.
NOT READY FOR INDEPENDENCE.
We do not wish to disconnect our-
selves with the Motherland, unless
it should be by-and-by to set up for
ourselves as an independent nation
in friendly alliance with the Mother-
land, if no longer in political connec-
tion with it. But the time for abso-
lute independence has not Come.
The strongest tie between the pro-
vinces of the Dominion al this mo-
ment is British connection and ail
that such connection implies. Brig
ish connection should therefore be
cherished by all practical means un-
til other ties and the mutual inter
este of the provinces become strong
enough to secure their union and
their independence as a nation.
North America is amply large enough
for two independent nations ; and
two friendly natioos would be better
for both populations than one nation
embracing the whole continent.
REPUDIATE ANNEXAT)ON.
I am glad to believe that these are
your views as well as mine; and I
should strongly advise that as many
as may be of our constituents who
hold them should endeavor to attend
the meeting tomorrow and should
carry a resolution repudiating annex-
ation or any present change in our
political relations.
Such a resolution would show that
we love our own nation better than
any other nation, and our own inter-
ests better than the interests of any
other country; that we are prepared
to sacrifice something it necessary—
though I do not suppose anysacritice
will be necessary—in order to retain
the allegiance of this great Dominion
to the Sovereign we love, instead of
suffering it to be transferred to an-
other nation which may any day be
at war with our own nation, the
nation of our fathers.
RULED BY THE PEOPLE,

reason for maintaining our political
relations. with the fatherland in that

LONG CHERISHED VIEWS.
Agreeably to your suggestion, I
have thus hastily stated my long -
cherished views, and these views and
sentiments I hold very strongly. I
believe and trust that they are the
views and sentiments of the greet
majority of the Liberals, and of the
Conservatives also, of the county of
Oxford; and I are very anxious that
the county, whose honored repre-
sentatives you and I are, should not
be misrepresented or misunderstood.

The Galt Reformer, one of the
moat consistent Liberal journals in
the province, says the Grit wing of
the party, are the men who defame
their country, and "who feel tuore
bent on smashing Confederation
than on smashing the Tories, or re-
dressing the country's grievance."
Last week about, 700 jolly British
tars were exchanged between Hali-
fax and the Pacific Coast by the
Canadian Pacific Railway. The
transportation is said to have suc-
cessfully proved the utility of the
C. P. R, as a military highway, and
this route will be largely used in the
future to transport troops between
Iudia and England.
Some of the Grit pessimists pre-
tend to believe, and try to make
others believe, that Canada is suffer-
ing badly for the want of free ac-
cess to the American markets of our
horses, This is a mistake. The
class of horses the 'Americans want
to buy from us are chiefly those re-
quired for breeding purposes and
these can be sentthere free of. duty.
Compare the Chicago market and
that of Toronto or Montreal and it
will be found that prices for aver-
age horses are fully as good here as
in the States. For street car and
van horses, the demand thore has
fallen off on account of the intro-
duction of electrical and other mo-
tive power so that the home supply is
more than sufficient. And the de-
mand for heavier classes such as are
used for lumbering purposes bas
also fallen off on account of the in
troduction of railways right through,
the heart of the lumbering districts
Now a days instead of hauling the
logs and lumber long distances
railways are built right to the mills,
Then for heavy draying purposes
the Americans have gone so largely
into breeding this class from im-
ported British and Canadian stock
that the supply is fully equal to all
possible requirements. In proof of
this those who visit the large cities
of Britain tell us that large num.
bora of American heavy horses are
continually arriving there. Some
time ago we gave the number of
horses raised in Illinois, Kentunky
and other States, taken from the
census, and it was stated that the
numbers were largely in excess of
the requirements of home purposes.
And we notice by a recent number
of the Michigan Farmer that the
little State of Vermont sold horses
last year aggregating X2,000,000.
And the Western Agriculturist says:
"The American draft horse is at-
tracting the attention of European
dealers and they will take all the
1600 lb horses wo have to spare at
$300 and $400 each ; they want
ship loads of them." If Britain is
the best market for heavy Ameri-
