A COM PA111SO.\'.
Sometimes comparisons are not fair
in the eyes of some people. But when
a man honestly compares the state of
things in two different countries and
speaks from a personal knotyledge, his
words should be worth something and
carry weight.
Mr. W. F. Keyes, of Stanley town-
ship, has spent a year or too in the
United States.
It might be well to remind our readers
that he is likely one of the gentlemen
that the Globe and other Reform jour -
nate have said so much about being com-
pelled to find a horse in that country.
He is one of the many that have
been there, but found worse places
than Canada to dwell and prosper in.
Mr. Keyes spent his time in Warren
County, Iowa. Any quantity of wheat
could be bought there—with light
crops—for 40 cents a bushel. The high-
est price ,going was 45 cents, No. 1,
65 lbs. to the bushel:
Beef on foot, less than 400 miles
from Chicago, only realized l,}
cents a pound, much less than offered in
"starving" Canada or in the "starving"
County of Huron where farmers are
"driven to despair and ab'soluto despair
and desperation !"
Binding twine—and we hear a great
deal about the Canadian farmer being
robbed—sold at 1 }c, leas last summer.in
the town of Clinton at 'Harland Bros.,
than in Iowa ; and our twine gave good
satisfaction, too.
Horses there, without as good bone as
Canadian bred animals, but similar to
ours in size and - weight, are sold
and bought in lowa for . $50 and
$60. .The same class of horse
here brings the Canadian.. farmer from
$70 to $90. It takes a superior animal
to realize the' price ^of our ordinary
class.
Mr. ^ Keyes informs THE NEWS-IIE-
boRn that he has'no intention of re'turr:-
ing to the United States, and further
states in his travels' he did not find a
termer as prosperous or doing as well as
those iii Huron County.
There may [)6 -an exodus of people to
the United States, but Mr. Keyes is a
farmer who knows from personal expe.r.
ience that Canada is among the best
countries in the world and a long -way
ahead of the country to the -south. His
views harmonize very nicely with tho-e
of .J. Kernighan, of Benmiller, este-tee
timely and convincing letter appeared
in these columnsa short time since.
CURIIEFT TOPICS.
It is generally considered that the
price of pork bas reached its highest
point, and it is thea efora unwise for
farmers to hold on in expectation of a
rise in the price of this article.
This commendation comes from the Toron-
to Globe :—Cootroller Wallee(' has done a
good thing in planing trimmings for hate,
when imported by hat manufacturers, on the
free lint.
Mr. Robert Brimingham, secretary of
the Liberal Conservative Union of On-
tario, who has been very ill for five
weeks with congestion of the lungs, is
now ont of danger. Flis friends in Clin-
ton are much pleased indeed to learn
of his recovery.
Sir Charles Tupper hire left London and
returned to Paris. Arriving there, he will
reeume nag ttia ions in the Franoo•Cana Tian
treaty, the progtdas of which has been un-
avoidably delayed by the French Ministerial
oriels. However, now a favorable iesuo is
expected, and there appears to be good roar
eon f >r the !tope that Canada will be placed
on the (french minimum tariff schedule.
Col. O'Brien's declaration that Sir
John 'Thunpson's religion should not be
considered a bar to his political prefer-
ment is timely. And the declaration
is all the more forcible from the fact
that the Colonel's Protestantism is of
a much higher order than that of the few
who have attempted to raise the sec-
tarian cry against the Premier.
The V. indsor Annexation Club has touter
eel Itlr. Sol White, M. P. P., from its rauke,
beeousn at the reoent reception and bouquet

Reform papers are pleased to point
to the deplorable state of Canada and
picture our distress in that the dwell•
iugs in all towns and viliiagee aro with-
out tenants. Ilowever other towns
may be, there 510 not many vacant
houses in Clinton. If this means
prosperity, as it must according to the
contention of some, Clinton is a pros-
perous town. People of course who
reside here know that it is.
Andrew J. Seymour, of 'Rockford,
111., mind reader, proposes to throw
himself into a state of complete insen-
sibility in June next, and be buried in
a grave that ie to be watched by
committee eiay and night, until a crop
of barley is Bowed; ripened and cut over
it, when, he says, he will be disinterred
and return to life. All the foola are not
yet dead, but one more will be by next
autumn.
There is a considerable agitation in
Chicago over the teaching of German
in the public schools. It is claimed
that as so large a part of the population
is foreigu, Bohemian, Scandinavian,
Italian and Polish are equally entitled
to consideration, The Chicago Tri•
bfute thiuks, unlike Sir Oliver Mowat
in Ontario, that only one language
should be taught in the schools. That,
however, is a new ouo called "the
American."
The Canadian poet, Archibald
Lampinan, says if he were exiled to
eo"nle inaccessible inland or imprisoned
ani were allowed to choose half a
dezen'books fur his solace and support
ho would 'ask the Bible, the poems of
'Homer, ;the plays of Shakespeare, the
poems of Wordsworth, autobiography
of Goethe and the Don Quixote of
Cervantes,' and says that from these
'six books 'a man aright draw sufficient
strength, knowledge, inspiration, de-
light and humanity to last hitt a life-
time.
A bill of marriage reform has been
submitted to the' Illinois Legislature.
It provides that marriage licenses

ada it may seem absurd for the State
to assume the duties of parents, but the
American idea of parental control is
not the highest. A clause should be
added to tyie bill providing that the
contracting parties must have known
each othe1 at Ioaet a whole week bofore

A DRA\VIN(x CARD.

a very good drawing card if the boy
