FLAX AND BINDER TWINE.
Two or three* years ago a few of
the enterprising citizens of Clinton
took up the matter of establishing
a binder twine factory in Cliuton,
but owing to the expensiveness of
machinery required tho matter was
dropped. We find by the trade r.•
turns that Ontario exported last
year to the Uuitod States fisx to the
value 61 $81,386, and that we im
ported from the Uuited States
binder twine of the value of $26,-
837; coarse cordage,rope, etc., to the
value of $64,000, and as much more
of coarse manufactures of flax such
as matting etc.
This matter has been revived by
a proposal from the Stratford Flax
Mill Cutupany to the city of Stat -
ford to start a binder twine factors
there to employ at first 20 or 30
hands on condition that they get
exemption from taxation for 10
years.
Considerable fKk ie grown in thio
county and more would be raised if
a profitable home market could be
found for it. And there is no
reason why there should not bo.
There is nothing to prevent Cann -
diens manufacturiug the raw mater-
ial here into binder twioe and
cognate manufactures instead of
sending it abroad to have it manu-
factured there and returned to us.
This is one of the many industries
that capital could bo profitably in-
vented in in Clinton. Doubtlese

reasonable aid. Binder twine es•
pecially will always be in demand
and the demand must increase to
enormous proportions se the im-
mense wheat finds of our North-
west aro developed. A binder
twine factory would find employ-
ment for an additional town popu-
lation• and afford the beat market
for the raw material raised by our
farmers. No town, no country, can
prosper unless it shall to the great-
est extent possible find employment
for Meir own citizens at home and
retain the largest ainount of money
in producing manufactured articles
which we require instead of sending
enormous mins abroad to support a
foreign population upon a foreign
)loll. The people have time and
again declared at, the polls that they
are in Favor of developing home
manufactures as in the iuterost of
the farmers, so that manufacturers
need not to be afraid of a change of
policy in this respect. The gigantic
combines in the States will soon
have our farmers by the throats if
we do not set about manufacturing
binding twine for ourselves. •

reason to doubt that the whole dia•
puts will' be settled by ft loudly

Patterson, of Brunt, while censur-
ing the Government for not effect•
ing free trade with the Uuitod
States, acted strangely incoueistont
when he declared : "I do not be-
lieve in paying the price that tho

It is .rumored ihnt an old time
"Baldwin Reformer" is willing to
put as a deposit a sum of money
equal to the amount expended at
the General;Election, •as published
by Mr. John Mellillau'e financial

After a nine days trial at Hamil-
ton Bartram and Lottridge, charged
with the murder of Ileelop, treasurer
of Wentworth county, were ac-
quitted, a largo uumher of witnesses
swearing that prisoners were else-
where on tho night of the murder
and could not have been at the
scene of the murder. The general
impression outside is that they are
the guilty ones, and that some tall'
sweating was done.
Ia e. communication to the Senate
Prosi:lent Harrison is alleged
to have said that if Great
Britain will not assist in the
protection of seals in Behring Sea,
ponding arbitration, he will exclude
poachers if it require the whole
military force of the United States
to accomplish it. Thia is presi•
adeeei.1-e:`? t" 1.„ year an it the 1 lus-
ler of Harrison is regarded as mere
bidding for .votes. Salisbury offers
to help keep poachers out providing
the t if British subjects are excluded,
and that it shall afterward bo found
by arbitration that the United States
have not exclusive jurisdiction they
shall acknowledge the claims of
such British subjects for damages
resulting from their being exclud-
ed. Britain does not aainit Cana-
dian vessels catching Beals outside
of the three mile limit in Behriug
Sea are poachers; this is the point
in dispute.
Papers asked for by Mr. Meredith

tion Ross had spent $100,000 in
connection with Upper Canada Col-
lege without the sanction of Parlia-
ment or order in council, in direct
violation of the statute. This and
various other illegal expeudituros
and gross jobbery in connection
with the Crown Lands Department
go 'fair to show that Mr. Mowat's
government if not as corrupt as
Mercier's is fast getting there.
Only' let it llaveseope enough and it
will yet hang itself.
EDI7'ORIA L NOTES.
Col. Atnyot, an old time Coneer-
vative, but who joined the Oppo-
sition because he was opposed to
the Government on the Riol ques-
tion, has returned to his allegiance
and deolared his adherence for the
future to the Conservative party.
Still they Come.
President II❑rrieon and Cabinet
have expreise,I themselves as pleas-
ed with the pos-tion Lord Salisbury
has taken an 1 his reply on the
supplied by foreigners. To show
how imports of farm products have
been checked we will. give the
quantities imported into Canada
under the lower tariff of 1889 and
the higher one of 1891 :

Thia is a statemeut • which needs
no explanation to the farther or to
any other intelligent man. It
moans, that that the National Policy
is putting money into his pocket,
not at the expense of the Canadian
consumer, but at the expense of
• the Uuitod States competitor, And
if we may judge from the bye -elec-
tions the farmer knows whet he is
about.
--•.Thereecair hauls=donketafet"hasdif e
ference between the policy of the
Liberal Conservatives and the. lead-
ers of the Grit element that domin-
ator/in the council of the Reform
party. Mr, Foster on behalf of the
Government declared they would
not accept the terms upon which
the Americans would concede freer
trade between the two countries.
There terms are free trade in all
products, a uuiform tariff and that,
tariff to be made by the United
States. Thus while admitting all
American goods into Canada free
we should have to impose the dut-
ies prevailing in the United States
on goods coming from Britain or
any of the colonies. Sir.' Richard
Cartwright stated in the House that
his party ie prepared to pay the
prioo demanded. The Government
will likely look to secure a prefer-
ential trade arrangement•with Bri-
tain. The policy of the Govern-
ment and the Opposition is narrow-
ed to this. The Conservatives are
for a policy of preferential trade
with all other parts of the
British empire and protection
against all other countries.
While the Grits are for free
trade with the United States
and protection and discrimination
against Britain.
In reply to an enquiry regarding
the respective territorial areas of
the United States and Canada we
find in the Canadian Year Book
that Canada has an area of about
3,470,257 'square miles, or inciud•
ing its water surface about 3,610,•
000 square miles. In the Ameri-
can Treasury of Facts we find the
area of the original thirteen states
put down at 325,065 square miles.
Of the other States, not including
the; present States of Washington
and Dakota, 1,751,685 square miles.
Of the Territories iucludin'g Wash-
ington, Dakota, and Alaska, 1,509,-
770 square miles. Making the total
area of the United States, including
Alaska, 3,586,530 square miles. If
the area of the Uuitod States as
given includes its water snrtacc',
Which our authority duets not stain,
the territory embraced in Canada
is'lightly in excess of that of the
United States. If the American
estimate does not include the water
surface, which we rather think it
dons, the area of the United States
is alightly in excites of that of Csu-
ada. One thing is conceded : the
area of laud in Canada capable of

We consume a certain amount of
faun products in Canada. If we
can bay them more cheaply from the
UnitedStates which have an immense
surplus we will naturally do so.
But the Government very wisely
says so long as the Americans
tax our farm products going into
their country we will tex theirs
coming hero. This to a great extent
enables our formers to supply the

A LETTER FROM MR BLAKE.
In the New York Sun of Tues.
day Hon. Edward Blake writes as
follow*: •
"Sin, -My attention has been
called to the despatch from your
Montreal correspondent under the
date of March 4, in which it is
stated that, in the very crisis of the
last Caundiau general election, I
blasted the prospects of my -party by
publiehiug a letter exproesiug my
strong dissent from the policy with
which they ware endeavoring 10
carry the country, and that to say
that my letter caused them the loss
of eight or ton seats is probably
making a moderate estimate.
"I ata sure you do not intend to
act unjustly, and that you will give
me space to say that these etate-
mente are the revere of truth. I
enclose you my Durham letter, with
its covering note, from which you
will see that it was not published
till after the election, and that I
retired from pnblic life in order to
avoid inflicting on the Liberal perry
that very injury which.your corres•
pondent lays at my door.
"These facts aro well known in
our country, but not so in yours ;
hence my wish to make this correc-
tion, Yours faithfully,
EDWARD BLARE.

NO MERCY FOR MERCIER,
It is currently reported in Mon -
treat that the resignation of Mr.
Mercier will not be accepted. Cone
servativee have determined on his
expulsion from the House and there
is little doubt but that criminal pro'.
necution will follow shortly after.
Regarding the prosecution n special
despatch from Quebec says : En-
quiry elicits the fact that the Gov-
ernment will shortly carry out its
threats respecting the criminal pro,
secution of the leading boodlers,
from the implicated Ministers and
members to.their immediate entour-
age downwards. The accused part,
ies, if still in the country, will short-
ly be arrested and brought to trial.

In question seems to be ' doubtful
of this as he says : `•If •true it
means 8001bs of pork or a revenue
of $40 to $48 per acre." From per-
sonal experience in growing clover
and breeding and feeding Berkshire
hogs for market, we know that
clover 1s one of the best crops on
which swine can be brought on dor,
ing the summer from the time they
are weaned in spring till the fall.
But to keep them in good strong
growth some additional feed in the
way of slope, refuse milk, butter-
milk or anything in which some
shorts or corn meal can be mixed
will be necessary. But the bogs to
he turned into clover must first be
rendered incapable of rooting it up,
by ringing their snouts, or they
will soon root up and destroy the
entire crop, as they are especially
fond of eating the clover roots if
they can get at them. Good thrifty
growing hogs of good blood should
when on clover, and with a little
extra feed as above, put on from one
to one a -half pounds of flesh per
day. They are then easily harden,
ed np for market in the fall on peas
