It Is Not So
One hardly knows what to think of
a man who can deliberately make
public statements which he should
know are not in accordance with facts.
In a speech delivered in England the
other day—in fact the very day on
which England and the United States
had signed the arbitration treaty—Sir
Charles Tupper is reported to 'have
stated that the American people had
but one aim and purpose, namely, the
acquisition of Canada. If Sir Charles
has travelled at all , in the United
States, he mustknow that such a state-
ment has no foundation in fact; , he
must know that the Americans, as a
whole, do not care a snap of their fin-
gers about acquiring Canada. They
have enough territory now to engross
their attention, and they are not eager
for more. The American newspapers
do not talk in the spirit indicated by
the late Premier, nor do the American
statemen, and we venture to say that
the idea has its origin in the fertile
and imaginative brain of Sir Charles
alone. As there was, seemingly, no-
thing to be gained by such a state-
ment, one is really at a lose to under-
stand why it was introduced into his
speech at all.

WEDDING. — A very interesting
event took place at the residence of
Mr. Thos. Gregory, on Wednesday, be-
ing the marriage of his daughter, An-
nie E., to Luther E. Gill, M. D., of
Gibsonburg, Ohio, U. S. A. Miss May
Gill, sister of the groom, assisted the
bride, and Mr. Will A. Gregorv, broth-
er of the bride, assisted the groom.
Both of the contracting parties claim
Exeter as the hcme of their childhood,
and are most highly respected through-
out the community. The bride has,
for a number of years, successfully
taught in one of the departments of
our public school, Old has also taken a
very prominent part in "church work,
being a member of the Main Street
Methodist Church, the congregation
of which presented her with a beauti-
ful silver tea service as a testimonial
opp
f esteem and appreciation of her in-
terest in church work. The popular
pastor. of Main Street Methodist
Church, Rev. Locke, performed the
service. Mr and Mrs Gill left on the
evening train to visit in London, De-
troit and Toledo before returning to
their home in Gibsonburg, 0., where
the doctor has established. a first-class
practice in medicine.
DEATHS.—The remains of the late
Leonard Carley, who died in London,
were brought to Exeter per G. T. R.,
Wednesday, and interred in the Exe-
ter cemetery. Mr. Carley was well
known in this vicinity, having resided
here for a number of years with his
mother and brothers and sisters. The
funeral of the late Mrs Robt Frayne,
which took place to the Exeter ceme-
tery, was largely attended on Tuesday.
The deceased was one of the earliest
residents in Usborne, having settled
with her husband (who survives her)
on their' homestead on con 2, in 1844.
Up to the time of her death she was a
consistent member of the James Street
Methodist Church, and much respect-
ed and beloved by all who knew her.
Three sons—James, Peter and "John—
and five daughters—Mary Ann, Sarah,
Eliza, Elizabeth Ann and Emily --com-
prise the bereaved family, who have
the sympathy of the entire neighbor-
hood.
The Ada Powell memorial service in
the Main Street Methodist Church last
Sunday morning was a'very impressixe
one indeed. The "scholars of the Sun
day school attended in a body' and
were seated in the front seats. The
sermon of the pastor, Rev. Mr Locke
was not one of the tear drawing kind
but one intended to touch the hearts

eonsideratibn when criticising the progress
of the country.
.but let Mr Hanna speak for •himself:
'I went frotri Pennsylvania to Griswold,
Manitoba,' he says, 'in In 1881. I cleared
the land and in 1883 I raised two thousand
bushels at eighty-two cents and eighty-one
cents per bushel, There was no elevator
there then. In 1884, I raised four thous-
and bushels, which I sold for seventy-six
cents. In 1885, the orop was a little in-
jured by frost and in that year I shipped
four thousand bushels to Toronto, obtain-
ing for it forty forty cents per bushel. In
1886 I sold seven thousand bushels at sixty
e ts; in 1887,ten thousand bushels at tifty
n o y
two cents; in 1888,six thousand bushels at
a dollar and two cents. In 1889 there was
a drought, which nearly burnt up the crop,
the average being only about ten bushels
per atcre. In 1890. I sold fourteen thous-
and "bushels at eighty-two cents, and in
1891, eleven thousand bushels at sixty-five
cents. During all this period I raised a
lot of coarse grain and did some mixed
farming. Of late years the price of Wheat
has been very low and I have gone into
into mixed farming more and more exten-
sively.'
'You nave had no reason to complain of
prices recently, Mr Hanna ?
'No, the recent appreciation has been a
real blessing to the country. It has en-
abled. those who were a bit behind to pay
off their debts, increase their stocks anti
implements and extend their holdings.
Generally, I may say that the Manitoba
farmer was never in a better position than
be is to -day.'
'How many acres do you farm, Mr Han-
na ?'
'I have two farms, about ten miles apart.
The one, of fifteen hundred acres, I farm
myself; the other is of three hundred 'and
twenty acres. Of these about half arc
under cultivation— let to a tenant on
shares.' •-
'What was your best yield of wheat per

thousands at this season.at
They have no appetite; food
does not relish. They need the toning up of
the stomach and digestive organs, which
a course of Hood's Sarsaparilla will give
them. It also purifies and enriches the
blood, cures that distress after eating and
internal misery only a dyspeptic can
know, creates an appetite, overcomes drat
tired feeling and builds up and sustains
the whole physlcatl system. It so prompt-
ly and efficiently relieves dyspeptiosymp-
toms and cures nervous headaches, that it
seems to, have almost "a magic touch."
Mr Ogilvie has paid me the highest price
for it. I do not think that farmers should
speculate in wheat and the past has proved
that I was always right in selling my
wheat as soon as it was threshed and de-
livered.'
'If it is not asking too much, Mr Hanna,
at what do you estimate the present value
of your holding?
I have over ten thousand dollars' worth
of buildings on my farm, besides I own the
land and have,all the best and most mod-
ern implements, and I any happy to say
that all are paid for,'
I have seen a drawing of your house and
it certainly looks a fine structure.'
'Yes, I confess to being a little proud of
that honse myself. It is two stories high
and built of brick; the bricks I shipped
from Winnipeg. It drains into a well
constructed sewer, itis fitted with both
hot and cold water, etc., and has the most
modern system of Ventilation. It has also
a windmill to raise water to the top floor.
It cost me five thousand dollars. I have
also fitted a windmill to my barn for the
purpole of crushing and cutting feed, etc.'

BORT, HOLMES,
nothing, but thinks he knows It all, and all
he succeeds in making ae a rule is a la-
mentable mess of it, '[ remember a few
years ago, some Ontario farmers Doming to
Manitoba. They Dame with their wagons
and implements; they were roughly dressed
and the 'dudes' I am describing laughed at
them, called thein Yiay$etiaa. H9weYer,
these men knew their business and the
laugh was soon on the other side. I only
mention these facts to show you the kind
of men who deory the country; for Eng-
lishmen in general I have the greatest ad-
miration, some of the best farmers in
Manitoba are practical Englishmen, and I
only wish there were mold of them.'
`New about the climate, Mr. Hanna;
that is, well, rather too hot in summer,
isn't it, add, to put it mildly, not exactly
"sultry" in winter, eh ? We are told, too,
that the mosquitos in your dog days are
very powerful and persevering and hardly
satisfied with a man at a meal.
'Ha, hal !Iinghed Mr Hanna, heartily.
'In winter,' he said, 'the weather is certain-
ly cold and sharp, but it is very bracing,
and as we dress warmly for it, we feel it
and mind it not at all; in fact we really
like it. There is no better summer climate
in the world. Ae for the mosquitos, they
are to be found in the 1 ng grass and low
lands, but on the high a d cultivated lands
and on the rolling P rairi there are hardly
any.'
'Yet the frosts play the misohief with
your wheat, Mr hanna'?'
'A little, yes, but not nearly so much as
is reported. I only remember three years
when the frosts damaged our crops to any
extent, but of the fifteen I have been in the
country. , Of course, in these years the
farmers Buffered from the low prices of the
damaged article.'
'Then to sum up, Mr Hanna; you think
that the country is "all right." '
•I am sure that the country is all right
and has a great future before it; all that is
wanted is the right sort of settlers; and
plenty of them. If the price of wheat
keeps at a remunerative figure, as I think
it will now for some time, we shall extend
our operations; if it reverts to the low fig-
ures of the past few years, there is plenty
of scope for mixed farming. in any case,
my own opinion is that mixed farming is
best, as it brings into operation all a farm-
er's resources, and it can easily run along
aide by side with the most extensive wheat
cultivation. -
'One or two things I would like to add to
your many questions.' concluded Mr ,Han-
na, smiling in bis hearty fashion. 'In
Manitoba now good land can be bought at
from three to five dollars per acre not far
from the railway and settlements; of course
without improvements. I would also like
to point out that we have coal fields on
the west, at Leithbridge; on the south, at
Aseiniboia; and that at Fort McLeod we
have as good anthracite coal as is to be
found anywhere in the world. Add to
these things the custom that must come to
us.when the gold region shall • have been
developed, and I think you will agree with
me that our future prospects are of the
brightest.'
'One last question, Mr Hanna, are yon a
free trader or a protectionist ?'
'That is a question to which in the ab-
stract I am not prepared to answer yes or
no. I will tell you, however, I am decided-
ly of the opinion that we should not open
our markets to the United Sfates without
reciprocity. We now grow a good article
that has a reputation in the world, a repu-
tation that is increasing; the wheat in largo
proportions is ground by our own millers,
and the high quality of Manitoba flour is
being more and more re app
resisted
abroad
as is rovod byour increasingexports to
Australia and •Great Britain and other
places. 1 do not agree with throwing this
away'for nothing, and the influential so
oiety to which I belong in Manitoba agrees
with me. If the Yankees are for protec-
tion, we are for protection ."all the time."
After a brief visit to his friends in Ot-
tawa and Brockville, Mr Hanna proceeds
to hie native place in Huron County; where
he will remain about two weeks.
'Mr Hanna was emphatic in his reply.
'My experience is not at all exceptional, he
said, 'all the practical, industrious fatmere
I have known have been equally successful,
aocording to the size of their properties.'
'Then why the bitter complaints con-
cerning the country that we hear from
time to three?'
Mr Hanna smiled. 'Now let me give
you a few modern instances,' he said. 'Last
year, at the solicitation of his friends, I
gave employment to a young Swede. He
was a very gentlemanly young fellow, but
knew no more about farming than a babe
in arms. However, he said he was very
anxious to learn and not mind how hard he
worked, so I let him start. In about three
weeks he Dame to me one day and said he
would have to leave. I asked him if he
found the work too hard. NQ,.,he replied,
but there was not enough leteure. He
said, at home he had been used to read
three or four hours a day ' and found that
he could not get along without it. Of
course that is rather an extreme indenter.
what is of frequent 000arrenoe though, is
the advent of youpg Englishmen of good
family, sent abroad because their people
want to get rid of them. Some of these
young fellows tarn out well: they start do-
ing chores, are promoted, and finally be-
came good farmers. With -this ,Majority,
however, it is different, most of them are
ignorant of farming; some are idle, some
are dissolute and invariably they are a
nnieanoe. Then there is the English 'gen-
tlemen' who Domes abroad with a few
hundred pounds (Mr Hanna pronounced
'pounds' with an exaggerated English
ascent) and fancies he le going to make his
fortune in about three months. He knows
