broke under my arm. I Lust my finger and
it gathered and threw out pieces of bone.
If I hurt myself so as to break the skin, it

UNITED STATES PRICES AND
OURS. •
The following letter written by a St.
Clair County farmer and published in
the • Port Huron Commercial is well
worth reading. - We commend it to the
men who are trying to discourage our
Canadian farmers.
"Editor Commercial : Last month an
item appeared in the Almonte paper,
in which the statement was made
that a certain firm in Boston handles
100 cars of Canadian hay per month, on
which is collected a duty of $4 per ton.
To this, by way of climax, was added
the following: "As the Boston dairy-
man pays the same price for both the
Canadian and American hay, and the
Canadian farmer gets $4 per ton less
than the American who pays the tax ?'
The claim that the American farmer
has a home market far superior to that
of the Canadian is frequently heard,
and that is precisely what the item in
question was intended to teach.
Without going into argument as to
whether Jones or the other fellow pays
the tax on the hay, it may he both in-
teresting and profitable to crake a
comparison of the prices of Canadian
produce in general with our own. The
Toronto Globe of March 14th, gives
the following market report which
compares very favorably with the De-
troit market as reported in the Free
Press of the same date :
Toronto. Detroit.
Wheat, 58 to 62. 57i to 58;
Oats, 41 to 411,. 33 to 3.5
Hay $9 to $10,50. $11.00
Dressed hogs, $5.75 to 6.10. $9.00
Clover seed,
$5.70 to .$8.40 $4.50 to 5.30
Cattle, 2i to 31. 2 to 4
Sheep & Iamb,, :3.4 to 4. 2 to 4
Butter, dairy, 13 Co 23. 18 to 20
Eggs, 15 to 17. , 15
Other products relatively about the
same as the above, Manitoba wheat,
quoted in Toronto at 71i to 76; and in
Montreal at 741 to 80.
It will be seen from this exhibition
that the Canadian farmer has quite as
good a market as his Yankee neighbor.
be sure prices
o s vary there as here
in different localities, accordingto the
cost of transportation, but it is difficult
to see what motive there could be for
using the markets of the United States
extensively. Even the great American
barnyard fowl is unable to dispose of
her protected eggs to any better:advan-
tage than her less fortunate cousin. In-
deed, from other data at hand it ap•
pears that the price of eggs in Canada
average rather higher than here,
It wll be noticed that hay, instead of
being $4 per ton less than in Detroit,
ranges from 50e to $2 lower. We have
just been informed by an experienced
ay dealer that the reason Canadian
hay can be shipped to Boston is not
that the Canadian farmer gets $4 per
tori less than the American, but be -
use it Wings • #.coin. $2 .to $4 tilertop°

and handling, But it the 011nitdiau

gets a little e .less •i'Ur, his hay he gets
enough,for his wheat, oats and clever
seed to make up for the loss.
Lest some may suppose that the pre-
sent relation of the two markets is at-
tributed to recent changes in this
country, we will say that a similar com-
parison made a year and arhalf ago,
before these changes occurred, showed
the markets for farm produce, relative-
ly, to be substantially the same as
now. '
THE REGISTRATION BILL.
The immediate effect of the Regis-
tration Bill, introduced by the Mowat
Government, is the disfranchisement
of thousands of voters. The enduring
result will inevitably be the propoga-
tion in this country of the infamous
system that has made New York
politics fairly wreak with corruption.
Canadians have little idea of the
extent to which fraud is practiced
under the simple system of registration
in the home of Tamnnany. Prior to
the time appointed, the saloons gambl-
ing houses, brothels and tenements are
loaded up with all the crooks and
blackguards of the city. They are
marched to the place of registration,
their names enrolled and then they are
given liberty to return to their various
haunts, if they cannot be found
when !wolfing day comes around, an
army of "pluggers" is on hand to vote
on all the names registered. A report-
er of the New York Press tracked one
of Dry Dollar Sullivan's agents on
election clay and saw him vote some
sixteen times.
It is this system that the Mowat
Government purposes to adopt in Tor-
onto and other large cities. The rea-
son is obvious. In the revision of the
voters' list, now almost completed, the
Liberals have been getting the worst
of it. To hold the elections on those
lists:would mean an utter route in Tor-
onto. So the Christian statesman has
decided to wipe out the old lists alto-
gether and begin over again, compell-
ing every voter to personally register
his name. The effect will of course he
that thousands now on the lists and en-
titled to vote will not go to the trouble
of complying with the new provisions
and their dilatoriness may, in one con-
stituency at least, be the salvation
of Mowat's representative. The aver-
age man, not thoroughly versed in the
ethics of theology, will find it difficult
to identify in Mowat's Registration Bill
an additional "evidence of Christian-
ity."
"THE BRIBING GO VERNM ENT. "
Under the above caption the Ham-
ilton Spectator deals with the Ontario
Government in this convincing fash-
ion:—
No other government in the world
ever used so many dishonest tneans to
influence voters as the government of
the Christian statesman has used for
many years. There is no form of in-
timidation, no form of improper in-
fluence, no form of bribery, which it
has left unused. No money is spent for
any public purpose without being turn-
ed to the best possible account.
The government spends from $100,000
to $200,000 a year ,ostensibly for the
construction of colonisation roads. It
is in reality a hue bribery fund.
Roads are maintained in districts
which give Reform majorities and
neglected in districts which give Con-
servative majorities. They are main-
tained for the benefit of lumbering
companies which "do the right thing"
by Reform candidates. Employment
is given to settlers who vote as minis-
ters think they ought to vote. The
men employed as foremen and over-
seers are those who are known to be
skillful in manipulating votes. Pork
and other supplies are purchased from
farmers for the men employed on the
roads, and oats and hay for horses
without tender. "No Tory need apply"
when these articles are needed, And the
price is made to suit the man who votes
right. Other supplies are purchased
without tender from merchants who
contribute liberally to Reform election
funds. No proper audit of the ac-
counts of this outlay is made. These
expenditures are spread over a dozen
constituencies, and fully account for
the fact that counties whichive large
Conservative' Majorities in Dominion
elections give Reform majorities in pro-
vincial elections.
But the Christian statesman does not
rely alone on the colonization roads
bribery fund. Settlers on free grant
lands in frontier districts receive their
patents after the performance of cer-
tain settlement uties. If they are
good Reformers they receive their
patents without trouble: if not the
patents are delayed and conditions are
insisted upon which are not enforced
with Reform settlers.
Even this is not enough for the
Christian statesman. An army of
land agents, forest rangers, fire rangers,
and other officials, is maintained in the
frontier districts, whose "services and
disbursements" are of great value to
the Reform party, hut of little value
to the province.
The license infamy has been so thor-
oughly discussed that it is not neces-
sary to consider it :et length here.
License commissioners are appointed
to manipulate the law in the interest
of the Reform party, and it is unneces-
sary to say that they are all and al-
ways Reformers. When the law was
.proposed the Christian statesman
promised that Conservatives and Re-
formers alike would he appointed.
He lied when he said so, like the —,
well, like the Christian statesman he
is; and he has since explained that
Conservatives could not he appointed
because they would interfere with the
proper working of the law. These
commissioner's and inspectors give
license holders distinctly to under
stand that if they know on which side
their bread is buttered they will vote
in the interest of the Reform party, and
agents of the Reform party call upon
license holders for subscriptions, who
are afraid to refuse. In Hamilton the
commissioners are holding a number of
licenses open so that the applicants
may be unusually active and zealous
during the election. Commissioners
are appointed for party service, and
those of them who are in trade get the
custom of license holders to the de-
triment of other men in the same line
of trade.
The schools have been made part of
the Reform machine. Positions are
given as r"swards of party service, and
party pressure is exerted throughout
the whole system. We have even
been that 'Zra,, hose.' dlschat'ged ` sr

people are plundered as well by the
school -book monopolies; and we can-

hold these monopolies show their
gratitude, if not for favors received,
at least, for favors which they hope to
receive.
Z'HE MIDDLE OF JUNE.
We are in a position to say with
some degree of confidence that the
provincial elections will be held on the
13th of June or within a day or two of
that date. Sit- Oliver Mowat has not
taken the Spectator into his confidence;
but the information reaches us in so
direct a line that we cannot doubt its
substantial accuracy.
It will therefore be well if all oppon-
ents of the Mowat government hasten
the work of preparation, complete
their organization where it remains
incomplete, prosecute the can ass of
voters with diligence, and do all that
in them lies to have their forces in
battle array in four weeks from the
present time.
The Spectator desires the success of
every man opposed to the Mowat gov-
ernment. That government is the
most corrupt, the snort tyrannical,
and in every way the worst govern-
ment that has ever afflicted Ontario;
and we heartily wish success to
every candidate who is oppose to it.
The work in hand at present is not
to reconcile differences between Con-
servatives, Patrons of Industry and
P. P. As., but to bent the enemy.
In this war he who is not against
us is for us. Let each man do
his ' best to defeat the corrupt, ty-
rannical, and odious .Mowat govern-
ment, and leave subsequent events to
he settled when the proper time shall
come.
The duty of the hour is to get the
opposition forces into line, and vote
against every man who has the Mowat
brand on his forehead.—Hamilton
Spectator. '
CURRENT 7OPICS.
E. F. Clarke, Esq., M. P. P., report
says has determined not to offer for re-
election. Ills retirement from politics
would undoubtedly prove a direct loss
to the party. From a printer at the
case he has risen to eminence as a man
of superior ability. For several years
he was Mayor of Toronto, and in addi-
tion to being a member of the Legisla-
ture has been the successful head of
several public institutions. As :yet
Mr. Clarke has never suffered defeat.
THE NEWS -RECORD would like to see
him enter the Dominion arena. He
is just such a man as would serve the
whole Canadian people in the truest
sense of the term, and he is a Conser-
vative, too.
PRESS OPINIONS.
The General Opinion.
It is generally believed that the Gov-
ernment will bring on the elections im-
mediately, as a postponement until the
autumn would mean a midsummer
campaign, which would be inconvenient
for the politicians and objectionable to
the farmers, whose busiest season is
during hafivest. A short campaign
may be looked for, and it. is probable
that the result will he known before the
end of June.—Empire.
Pushing Canlada—Slow Uncle Sam.
The Canadians are taking advantage
of all the mistakes made by New York
in her conduct of the state canals.
The Welland is open to traffic earlier
than the Erie ; Canada is appropriat-
ing millions for her waterways, New
York is appropriating thousands
Canada gives a depth of 14 feet to its
waterways, New York barely main-
tains six; Canada shovels grain at $2
to $2.50 per '1,000 bushels, while the
elevator charges here are $1.50 for the
same work. This strangling policy
was never so vigorous as it now is.—
Buffalo News.
It is Only a Coincidence ?
It has been frequently shown that
the colonization road expenditure of
the Mowat Government exhibits a
wonderful upward tendency in each
year in which a Provincial election
occurs.
This same peculiarity is noticeable in
the miscellaneous account. In 1879,
when a general election was on, the ex-
penditure under this latter hend sud-
denly bounded up frons $79,001) to $124,-
000 ; in 1833 the same cause led to a
(jump from $66,000 to $104,000; in 1887
(the election was held in December of
'80) there was a bound from $86,000 to
$149,000 ; in 1890 the leap was from
$60,000 to $152,000 ; and in 1893, in
anticipation of the contest of this year
apparently, the advance was from
$118,000 to $179,000.
In every year in which a general elec-
tion has occurred there has ben a most
astonishing and suspicious,jtrrnp in the
miscellaneous expenditure of the
Province, and in one case the increase
amounted to no less than 1510' per cent.
How are these coincidences', accounted
for? Do the "miscellaneous" and
"colonization road" accounts cover the
"Liberal election fund" account as
well ?—Toronto News (Independent.)
How it Works.
One of the features of the Christian
statesman's license system is the power
it gives commissioners to secure the
trade of license holders. We do not
say that a commissioner ever tells an
applicant that license will be granted
only on condition that the license hold-
er shall purchase from the commission-
er. We do not say that an applicant is
ever told that he cannot have a license
because he has refused to trade with
the commissioner. It is enough that
the commissioner has power to exercise
a benevolent influence in behalf of his
customer, and an adverse influence in
respect of the man who declines to be
his customer. It is enough that the
license holder thinks he will stand well
with the license commissioners if he

needs goods which they bity.eto. sell,
It is. a tact tiAt .thrpugho14 Ontario
license oolulniesloners, who.are its husi,,
#es» get the trade of license- holders,.
and that other men in like business get
none. of it. Irt Toronto or Hamilton, or
Ottawa or London, the position of a
license commissioner who is ill business
is worth many thousands of dollars
yearly, and less sums in other license
districts.
It is true enough that this is one of
the least evils of a system which is
villainous from beginning to end. The
Christian statesman conceived it in
villainy and operates it tryannically.
License holders are compelled to •pay
money they do not wish to pay. The
Christian statesman blackmails them.
They are compelled to vote for Reform
candidates : the Christian statesman
robs them of the rights of free men.
If they dare to think for themselves
they are deprived of their licenses : the
Christian statesman exercises his mean
revenge and • robs them of their living.
And they feel compelled to deal with
the men who have power to grant or
withhold licenses : the Christian states-
man gives three men power to influence
a large class of customers to the injury
of all others in the same lines of busi-
ness. If a lawyer were a license coin-
missioner in Hamilton, would not every
license holder in the city have that
commissioner for his legal adviser ?
The whole system is a system of
wrong and infamy worthy of the man
who pharisaically parades himself he
fore the public as a Christian states-
man.—Hamilton Spectator.,
Advice From A Sincere Friend.
The New York Sun has all along
been the faithful friend and adviser of
the Reformers in Canada. To it, they
turn for aid and comfort: to it they
send the arguments and statements on
which they most rely. In its columns
may be found the appeals of Mr. Wim -
an, Mr. Glenn and Mr. Tarte: and when
the discovery of his plottings made Mr.
Farrer's retention on the Globe no
longer desirable, that advocate for mak-
ing only one bite of the cherry of an-
nexation, naturally moved into the Slur
office. So far as Canadian politics are Eureka
concerned, the Sun is not only almost
but altogether, such as the Reformers
of the Dominion. are, except that it is
wiser than they.
The Sun how tells its Canadian
friends that they are on untenable
ground, and that unless they shift their
position. they will assuredly come to
grief again. "The Liberal party of
Canada,' it says, "is clearly riding for
a fall in forcing revenue reform to the
front as the leading issue in the general
elections supposed to be near at hand."
It points out that the customs duties
collected last year averaged only I7}
per cent, and that any marked reduc-
tion from this rate would "paralyze the
manufactufing industries of Canada, if
not destroy her industrial investments,
without in the slightest degree enlarg-
ing the market for her surplus natural
productions."

The plea of the Reformers has been
that it would he wise to injure one
half of the people for the benefit of
the other half—that it would be profit-
able to destroy the country's manufac-
turing industries in order to give the
farmers cheaper manufactured goods
imported from other countries. And
they have asserted that if Canada
would accept unrestricted reciprocity
and admit manufactured goods from
the United States free of duty, Cana-
• dian agricultural products would find
free entrance to the United States.
We shall not stop to do more than to
point out here that, even granting that
It would be wise to injure the manufac-
turers and artisan for the sake of the
farmers, it does not follow that the
farmers would gain by losing their
home market and getting foreign goods,
which are no cheaper than domestic
goods, and that it is absurd to say that
goods are dear in Canada because of
protection, and that we may get cheap
goods in a country which has higher
protective duties than those imposed
in Canada. But the Sun frankly tells
our Reform friends that they cannot
have unrestricted reciprocity on the
terms they propose. It says: •
The adopitlon by Canadians of so-called revenue
reform will sot hays any beneficial ihauenoe in se.
curing them a treaty of reciprocity with the United
States. Political union in the only door to the free
adt•tesion of the products of Canada in Ibis market,
Liberate and Tories alike may as well accept this
statement Bret as last, and adjust their fiscal policy
accordingly. We do not propose to barter our
market with 70,000,000 consumer., rapidly increasing
in numbers and wealth, for one of 5,000,005 slowly
devaloping upon this continent.
This is plain talk, and it is true. Re-
formers may argue for unrestricted
reciprocity as much as they please, brit
nothing is more certain than that they
could not secure unrestricted reciproc-
ity if they were in power except on the
condition the Sun lays down.
The policy of the Conservative party,
the Sun tells us, "is practical and can
be realized and defended by those who
desire to maintain monarchical institu-
tions on this continent"— that it is by
those who desire to maintain British
connection. It winds up its half
column of good advice to its friends in
Canada by saying:
Status quo rind reveane reform as proposed by
Mtwara. Laurier and Cartwright, Involve ananelal
trouble, an increased erodes, decreased immigration,
and commercial and industrial stagnation. States-
men will not propose a fiscal policy which violates the
dictelee of ordinary common sense. The Liberal
leaders sheet abandon revenue reform, end should
formulate an issue which will command the respect
and support of all the elements which are opposed to
the Tory party; one which will conserve rather than
destroy the prosperity of the country. If they desire
eu.ne.e they eh (mid first deserve it.
The Reform leaders, however, will
not take the Sun's advice. They are
not wise enough to adopt a policy
which could possibly he accepted by
the Canadian people. They have no
hpatriotism nor political wisdom, nor
onesty of purpose. And they remain
just where they deserve to remain, in
opposition.—Hamilton Spectator.
For Public Men.
When Henry Clay was stumping
Kentucky from re-election to Congress,
he met at one of his addresses an old
hunter of wide political influence who
stood up its the meeting and said,
"Harry, I've always gone for ye, but
since you voted so-and-so I'ln going
gain ye."
• Clay parsed and said, "That's a
good rifle you've got, my friend, isn't
it ?" "Yes." "You think a good deal
of that rifle, don't you?' "Yes."
"Well, did she ever miss fire ?" "Yes."
"Why don't you throw her away
then ?"
The old hunter thought a moment
and said, "Harry, I'll try ye again."
