the quantay of soft and tender sides in
. bacon, which is coming out of salt this
week. These sides are chiefly in the
lighcer weights and from hogs which
have not been sufficiently well finish-
ed. Doubtless the high prices prevail-
ing have induced fatmers to sell hogs
which under other conditions would
have been fed some weeks longer and
sold when properly finished, Possibly
these hogs have had roots and other
soft feed, and being marketed in an
immature condition have not been fed
on grain a sufficienelength of time to
give -the necessary firmness to the
meat. Whatevet, may be the entree,
the facts are as abo,ve stated. Because
of this, we will pull out. all mean qual-
ity hegs,and discriminate against thein
very severely in prioe, We urge you
to ploteckyouraelf front loss and the
trade fiom ageredit in buying hogs of
this character. We also urge yen to
use your influence with the feeders in
your section to get them to avoid using
food stuffs which will make soft bacon.
In this latter respect, the situation
must be clearly understood by the far-
mers who feed the stock. If for eight

whichthe feeders are aware that mak-

mouths. Remember, the four months
of soft bacon are the same four months
each year, and the faulty feeding
which makes the bacon soft one year
doubtless is the cause of it being soft

Ottawa, April 14. -The debate upon
the budget, has made some progresS
this week, and more than one. import-
ant speech on each sale has been con-
tributed thereto. The principal result
of the debate so far has been to draw
the lines of demarcation very clearly.
between the trade policies of the two
political parties. The government's
policy is cleaaly defined as : a revenue
tariff secured in part by a substantial
preferential • reduction upon ,British
imports, whereby its pronaises of re-
• duced taxationlare fully redeemed and
inter-inoperial trade encouraged and
. _developed; the Opposition policy is ne
concession to Great Britain unless at
least an equal concession is made to,
Canada in return. This has been very
appropriately stigmatized as "The
pound of flesh policy." It is an ex-
• emplifaction of the old Tory principle
so boldly enunciated by Sir John Mac-
donald and the Mail newspapertwenty
years ago, but carefully hidden away
since. "If British connection is im-
perilled by our trade policy (the N. P.)
so much the
tion."

WHERE THE FARMER BENEFITS
The contention that the farmers of
/Canada have experienced • no relief in
taxation through the new tariff was
pretty thoroughly destroyed by Mr
Paterson in his budget speech. In-
-diem corn, binder twine, barbed fenc-
ing wire, and cream separators are
now admitted free; The qua,ntities
imported would have paid under the
sse"oid tariff nearly a million dollars.
There ,were reductions in the ,duties
on many articles used by fats:run, in-
cluding prpnged forks, hay teddeis,
rakes, scythes, spades and shovels,
• threshers, and separators, and other
portable machines, stoves, axes, saws,.
•tools of all kinds and coal oil. On
woollens there has been a saving. of
$451,000, on cotton, $163,000, on iron
and steel manufactures, $850,000:
The fact of the matter is that the
speech of the Minister of Customs,
created an impression in quarters
' where it was leetar expected. The Tor-
onto Telegram, for instance is not not•
-
ed for its susceptibility to sound Grit
argument, but even it is constrained
to observe "Sir ()narks Tupper's argu-
ment would be tnore presentable at
this moment if it had not been doomed
to assault by Hon. Wm. Paterson. He
knows the Department of Customs as
intimately as the Liberal platform of
• 1893, and when he chose to hit some of
Sir Charles' mathematical calculations
• with choico ebunke o the customs re-
turns the impact was usually a
success."

THE YARN WILL STILL Lim
As is well known to all who have fol-
lowed thri tariff controversy at ell, one
of the ridiculous fallades to which the
Tories have strenuously adhered in
spite of ell evidence to the contrary
has been that while in England attend-
ing the jubilee festivities of 1897, Hon,
Joseph Chanaberlain made a proposi-
tion to the (Menial Premiers which in-
volved the adoption of the principle of
noutualpreferencenf preferential trade
to the colonies and that Sir Wilfrid
Laorier declined the proposal, -Thireof
course, hitt ,kteed denied repeatedly on I
both sides of the •Atlantic, and Mr
Ohanobeflaiii- himself has taken the
trouble to point out the abeurditv of
auch it statement, inasmuch ae apart -
from every consideration, he had no
power Or turthority to make any such
proposition, but Canadian Tories even
the Federal leaders,-Messre. Tupper,
Foster, and, Clarke Wallace, --with
talkative irriesponeibiiity, keep)repeate I

noon, when we took the traitittA4)PlaWa,

the band played us off, although there were
only nine of us, but the• people are very
patriotic, jute( now. We arrived in Toronto

supper, and they did it to their credit.
There was all kinds of fun, the boys giving

taken, We got on the arm at 10 p, m.
and arrived in Ottawa at 8 o'clock nex
morning, se we missed mot of the scenery
travelling by night. Although it was so
early in the morning, the 'crowd at the
station was tremendoue-much largeethan
the crowd in Toronto, and it was by no
means a small one -we could hardly push
pur way through. The brass band -and the
bugle bend played us up to the grounds
We liked the atopeereinoini of Ottawa unti
we reached- the gratirida, and then came a
great dieappointment; we had heard that
there were 200 or 300 boys there, and ex
peoted to see a nioe large berracke, but
found that the boys were sleeping in the
cattle else& in the exhibition grounde,
there being no barraoas there, and they
were eating in thepoultryhouse. But we
were agteeably surprised when we got in-
side the "dining -room" to find it beautifully
desorated and everything nice and clean,
and the best of everything to eat, the Red
°rose Sooiety putting up 25c a meal for us,
besides the' ordinary govethment grant.
The cattle sheds were nicely fixed up with
flage. berths, and 'places to wash, and every-
thing was comfortable, the Strathoona
Horsemen haying stayed there two weeks.
We got a good equipment, 2' suits of every=
thing, quite new, and per 'measures taken
for dress We had our parades daily,
.the same me at .camp, in the big crystal
palace, where 600 men' osn drill with wise.
More men kept aiming in on eyery train.
One thing I eaw that reminded me of home
was the nice stand in the exhibition palace
fpr Doherty -organs. We were ailbwed to
go where we pleased after 4 p. m. We left
Ottawa 700 strong on Tuesday morning,
the brass•and bugle bands playing to off to
the station; the orowaii were s .) dense that
ropes were put up to keep them back, the
same as they did with the Strathconas.
Our train was decorated with nage, and as
We pulied out the band played "Soldiers Of
the Queen." At Montreal we nark on a
company nimsbering 120; there was an ins.
mense crowd at the depot, and the Scotch
Highlanders had a good' band in attend-
anee. Great enthusiasna was shown among
the French, as half the Montreal company
are French. Then we went by Quebec and
took on another company of 120 noys, Tne
scenery from here • on was grand -great
high rocks and mountains on both eidee,
and a email river falling from rook to root(
made a very pretty Ocoee. We passed
through an extensive game' country, and
were two days and•two nighte on the train.

from the station, and is situated on a hill

building, containing 100 bedrooms, each
capable of holding 10 men, and various
other buildings and,. rooms, such as wash
