Tho Huron 1:xpositor last week reproduced Ottawa correspondence purporting to show how much lees the prices for turkeys aro ,iu Cauada ao compared with the States. The writer inteuded to convey the idea that were it not for the McKinley Bill tnrkeya in North Lanark, where a by•eleetion was being held, would be worth 14 to 17 cents a pound, .instead of from 8 to 10 cents as under existing conditions. Now the statement is obviously a "whopper" which we will prove by . most excellent authority. It would be impossible, having regard to business principles, for any buyer to pay 14 to 17 cents a pound for turkeys for shipment to the States even wore there no duty ou them going there. Wo submit the proof :- Chicago -Inter Ocean, market re port Jany 1 : Live turkeys 9c. per Detroit Michigan Farmer, mark et report i Live turkeys lOe. per lb. products.1or a lower Oleo than the utat•cete of the world will warrant. Now it would be a business im-. possibility for any one who did not intend 'to live by the loss in com- mercial transactions to pay 14 to 17 cents a lb for turkeys in Canada and ship them to the States and sell them for 9 to 10e., after paying freight on them. The average price for both turkeys and' eggs in Can- ada the _past year has been fully better than Alto average price in the Stetes, And the average price of tvheat,, oats, hogs, cattle and many other farm products is better in Canada than in the States, in spite of the McKinley Bill, and infinite- SAY-hatsQr,,.,„-titan-would ..prevail in Canada under nnTestricted- recipro- city. The reason is not fact, to seek. The United Stites have a large earl plus of these products, therneelvee, are in fact exporters of them. Rborbacks such as the unfounded statement we have been referring to are sudulously djasemimated by ' • Canadian Grit papers week in and week out all the year through, more especially if an election is on.

MAPLECREEK, Deo. 10. -The weather here is everything that could be desired, clear sunshine and balmy air, snow all gone, and the farmers are taking advantage of the fine weather, as they are busy threshing and hauling in their grain and pro- ducts. Mr. G. W. Quick, one of our enterprising ranch men, threshed 3,060 bushels of grain last week. Messrs. Gallagher & Sons, and Mr. Kobold and Mr. Jennings shipped kora here last week 10 ears of beef cattle. Mr, Gallagher purchased four carloads from H. A. Greely, Mr. Kobold four oars from Mr. Carter, and Mr. Jennings one carload from Messrs. T. * igal and McCartie Brothers. The' catttle Were in firat class condition, and were all for the Winnipeg market. The highest price ever paid here before for 2 y'°ear•olds were obtained for these shipments, ranging from $40 to 845.

A PARTY ttEA50N. "In addition to the reasons which are common to both Conservatives and Liberals, there is a party reason. why Liberals as a party should retain British connection in their plattcrns. In a paper by a Liberal for Liberals, this party reason should be mention• ed for the sake of any Liberals, though they may be few, who, though attached to their party, and in the public interest desire its success, have been induced to. think favorably of political union with the United States. I'desire to call to the notice of such that for the Liberal party or any important section of it to favor political union with the United States would be death to•'alt hope of Liberal ascendancy in the councils of the Dominion."

He is reported to have asked the people to "stand by hila in endeavoring to -Endo the colt of TOO -yea -is ago anti aid in bringing together the two severed parts of the British race on this continent." In his published letter to Mr. McKenzie the other day, Hon. Mr. Mowat repudiates the Grit policy which propostes to surrender Canada's commercial a>pnlitical independ- ence by adopting the tariff of the Unted States along the seaboard and allowing our tariff to be dictated from Washington. Mr. Mowat adopts the Liberal Conaorr'ative and the Liberal Reform policy as against the Grit policy. He asks : "Why are Canadians opposed to giving up, Canada to the United States? Why do we wish to retain our British connection? Why are Liberals so generally opposed to taking that old plank out of the Liberal platform ? And he replies to his own ques- tion : "It is certainly not booause of any batred towards the United States. Such hatred ,exists amongst very few of the Canadian 'people and, but for the animosity prevailing In the United States against Creat Britain, EDITORIAL NOTES, The top market for wheat in Chi- cago is 91c. as against 92e. for simi- lar quality in the small Canadian town of Clinton. . Poor effocto Britain , and her colonies do a trade of $59,000,000 annually with, Japan while the Unitedatates' trade with the same country is only $26,000,000. The Colonial Empire trade alone with Japan is $27,000,000. At Grafton, North Dakota, which is ouly a short distance from the Manitoba boundary, we find by the North Dakota Advocate that the price of wheat' ranee from 46 cents to 73 cents a bushel which is from 8 to 10 cents less than it is worth on tho Manitoba side of the line. "But there are many reasons against political union which are national and common to Canadians of all parties. Let me glance at a few which specially influence my own mind," • BRIT -AIN OUR CATS NATION. (I) "Britain, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, is our. own nation, as it.was the.. nation pf our fathers. It is it nation to which we may be proud of belonging. Among the nations of Europe, ours has been for centuries in.the 'front as regards freedom, civilisation, learn. ing and power, and as regards all the arts of both peace and war. It is at this day the most extensive empire in the world, and poasesses in un- surpassed measure all the elements which go to make up national great - ness. We are glad that ° we are otizens or this empire.. We rejoice that we were born under its ltag, as our fathers were. We are pround of our present status as British subjects. We have as Canadians no grievance against the imperial Government or Parliament, as the other American .colonies had in the last century. Canada has had representative Government for a century and re aponeible. Government for the last had£ eclatdrys-We tiniiii`riner'"for'tiier Dominion of Canada•and'itis Provinces the very constitution which through our representatives we ouraelvea asked for 25 years ago ; and no amendment desired by our repre- sentatives since has been refused. Attachment to our own own nation thus constitutes one great reason why Cauadiana in general are against now changing their nationality for any other. Dressed hogs sell at $4.50 in Detroit as against $5.00 in Clinton. Green hams are quoted at 61-c. in Chicago as against 9c. in Clinton. And tho Grits are sighing for a forty -parson power of persuavi;ness that shall make it clear to Canadians that 4 is more than 5 and that 6/. is greater than 9. The official` report of the Ontario Bureau of Industries shows that the buildings, implements ant live. stock on the farms in Ontario were. worth over $100,000,000 more in 1891 than in 1881. This shows that the wealth of the farmers is in- creasing in a vastly greater propor- tion than the population, and is a gratifying indication of prosperity. (2) Another reason somewhat akin to the first is, that we cannot and do not forget that Canada was won in the last century by British blood and the -expenditure of British treasure. The men and the money were the contributions of Englishmen, Irish- men and Scotchmen, of the old lands. Canada thereupon belonged, with all its undeveloped wealth, to the whole British people. It did not become as of right the property of the firat settlers, any more than Muskoka or Parry Sound or Algoma became the property ofthe early settlers of these districts1 as against. the_rest of On. air (3) "The representatives at Wash- ington of our 5,000,000 of people would be outweighed twelve times over by the representatives of the 63,000,000 who occupy the present States of the Union. Canadians can have no pleasure in auras a prospect. our territory is as large as the Unit- ed States, or perhaps' somewhat larger. It has immense resources for purposes of agriculture and com- merce. Two thirds of thewheat area of North America is in Canhda. We have probaly the finest forests and richest fisheries in the world. We have coal and iron and copper and silver and gold and nickel. Our climate is specially adapted for developing an Active and hardly population. Canada has thus ample materials for becoming a;'nation : and there is ample room on the North American continent for tsvo. great nations. It would be in important respects for the advantage of their populations that there shquid be two sues iiatioiis rather than dtto." A HAPPY NEW YEAR .ter A ntost righteous judgment was that of the County Court Judge at Ottawa who in a suit against a civil servant for $24, remarked : "I am going to be very severe with you civil servants, every mother's son of you..order. for -per./ emptorp payment, failing that I shall commit you to jail. You shall pay down $6 and 30 per cent. a month of your salary,"' -- On Deer. 31, the first of the by- elections was -hold. It was held in North Lanark, and resulted in the. Conservative candidate being re- turned by a majority of 431 as against a majority of 301 in March last-artel 105 in 1887. The electors rose in their might and played havoc with disloyal Grit machinations. The Liberal Re- formers refused to be deceived by the unpatriotic policy of the Grit faction that is running the Liberal patty. To All Our Patrons. CARD OF THANKS. We have had an immense trade during the past few weeks, and we sincerely beg to thank one and all foi' their very liberal patronage. Thera Waa an intense desire to know what the country thought of the whole thing, and North Lanark has supplied the information. No 'body takes any stock in the Opposi- tion shouts of "boodle" applied to the Government; that is clear. The firm stand taken by Mr. Abbott and Sir John Thompson has con- vinced the country that they are honest as well as capable rulers, and are to be trusted to give us what they have promised to give us -pure Tad economical governhient, with a firm maintenance of Canada's fiscal and political independence.
