Gillmor shared with the members :from St. Johnin their excessive loyalty. He believed in the mainteance and inte- grity a the Empire,but he did not see why it could not as well be maintained under free • trade as under protection. He would vote for, a resolution of free trade witle, the Mother Land. He would as soon expect to see England go back to African slavery as to protection. Protection was a selfish, wicked, sinful, thing. Mr. Macdonald (Winnipeg) expressed himself as cordially in favor of the resolu- tion. He dwelt upon the material advan- tages to Canadians of British connection, • but went on to Inv that it was upon senti- mental grounds after all that the Canadians favored connection with the Mother Coun- try. When Richard Cobden began the great campaign which ended in the over- throw of the corn lavas in Britain, he had .only a few men about him. In Britain there were already a hundred members of the House of Commons who had voted in favor of preferential trade arrangements with the -colonies. There was a strong feeling of . distrust of the future on the part of the • British workingmen. They found them- . selves suffering from foreign competition. s Such a measure as this would tend to afford •relief. But above all it would advance the ;interests og Canada, which should be the 'tfirst consideration with Canadian public t men. Mr. Watson denied that the Manitobans • were afraid of being flooded out by the • tproducts of the United States, for in their „natural products they did not fear competi- tion with the world. As to manufactures • they had none, and therefore had no inter- est in protection for manufactures. In the 'last general election there was not a Con- servative candidate dared to face the trade .question. • Mr. Foster, after congratulating the • inember for North Bruce on his speech, and thanking him for introducing his resolution, stated that although in his opinion it would be a good thing for Canada to have reason- able trade relations with the United States, and although it would be a better thing to have the advantage of a proposition of this kind, he did not believe hat the future of Canada, its progress and development, de- pended upon either ono or the oaher. Mr. Davies said the porelerous platiffides of the Finance Minister would hardly be taken by the promoters cd this resolution as compensation for the cold el ater which, for the greater part of his sp.nch, he poured upon it. He moved in • amendment that all the words after • " that " be omitted • and the followingsubstituted: "Inasmuch as Great Britain admits ths. products of Canada into her ports free of duty, this House is of opinion that the present scale •of duties exacted by Canada on goods mainly imported from Great Britain should be reduced." A division was taken on the amendment, resulting as follows: Ayes 64, nays 98. The original motion was then carried as 'follows : Ayes 97, nays 63. Sir Richard Cartwright asked if the tenant farmers' reports were ready to bring elown, as he understood they were to be brought down the day after the last discus. sion on immigration. Mr. Carling said that the report of those delegates who visited the Maritime Provinces had • never been 'received. He supposed they ha4 been sent to the High <Commissioner. The House went into Committee of the Whole ()utile hill respecting United States • fishing vessels. Mr. Laurier suggested that the second clause relating to the issue of licenses by :Newfoundland should be struck out: On motion for Committee of Supply, Mr. Watson rose to call attention to the subject of the duty on binding twine. He stated that petitions against this duty had been received by the House from the Patrons of Industry and the Dominion 'Grange, representative organizations of the farmers of this country: It was as good as admitted that the bindertwine manufactory. of Canada was controlled by the National ,Cordage Company of the United States,. by which name the great binder twine monopoly of the United States was known. He had been informed by one of the leading dealers in Manitoba that it was about a toss-up with his firm whether they should import American twine and pay the duty or -buy Canadian twine. This was proof positive that the farmers had to pay tribute • to the Canadian factories to the extent of the duty. There was no revenue from this article, so that the Government would not lose anything by removing this duty. This tax was particularly onerous upon the people of Manitoba, because they cultivated a larger" quantity of land per -capita than the people of the other Prov- inces. He had gone into a careful examina- tion of the prices on either side of the line, , and found that the additional price to Can- udian farmers was about 3 cents per pound. ,On the crop of last year this would repre- • sent a tax upon the farmers of Manitoba of t$117,000. Upon the whole of ,Canada the tax amounted to $400,000. it might be -denied that the National Cordage Company was owner of the Canadian Mills. But he • found in a favotable notice of thiscompany , in the Beaton Transcript a declaration to the effect that they had purchased all the Canadian factories, and that as there was a • protective duty they would do well. Surely it was time to do something when they •found that the dealers declinedto quote prices tb farmers until they should know • whether the chit was to be removed or not. He closed' by moving a resolution declaring • that binder twine should be placed on the free list. Mr. Mulook secoadecl the esolution. He read a letter from Robert Wilkie, Secre- • tary of the Ontario Grand Lodge of Patrons of Industry, to the effect that binding twine • wan increased in price in Canada by about the amount of the duty, or ahnost 3e. per ;pound. The duty in the United States was only a tenth of one cent per pound. When, `the duty was removed from sugar the sFinatioe Minieter declared he had relieved the •'people from taxietionaind the fact was proven by an immediate drop in the price of sugar. 'Why would not the ean-te result follow the Temoval of the duty on twine? Now that this industry was in the control of a mon- opoly of foreigner% it was surely most lunpatriotio of the Government to leave in the hands of these men the power to tax so :heavily the largeet clues of. the Canadian industrial pepulation. &mu Weans. Mr. Sutherland, continuing the debate, ,quoted from a report of the preeicient Of the American Cordage CoMpany showing the factories eentrolled Were 49 in number, P Whieh included all alio:factories in 'Canada. a' The profit e of the combine for the year were $1,406,000, while the dividenda paid to stockheldere amounted to $1,300,000. •No argument could he advanced in favor ef maintaining this duty, aft it wee ooly puts Ong the Veiny of oar forMere into the pooaets of Yankee manipulators. v • Mr, O'Brien said the resolution was made in such a manner as to be objectionable to gentlenten on his side of the House'hews ever disposed some of them might ho to sup- port the principle embodied. Mr, Christie said he must raise hie voice against the iniquitous system whieh had fostered se many combines. The time was come when this duty should be removed. There were a great many other combines besides that. Mr. 1Viailelullen, said the Government had declined to allow the original motion to stand on the order paper, and hence the member for Marquette was compelled to take this means, by moving an amendment to the motion to go into supply, of bringing his motion before the House, He was sur- prised that the member ftr Muskoka would not support the resolution. His loyalty should induce him to favor the English 'manufacturer of binding twine, as would be the case if this resolution was carried. Binding twine was as much a raw material for the farmer as twine for fishing was for fishermen and the fanner suffered more, because While the fisherman's twine would last him for several years, after the farmer had used the twine once it was done with The very cord with which you lowered the remains of your friend intO the grave was manufactured under a combine. Mr. Fairbaine said unless the previous speaker could show that the American farmer was receivinghis twine cheaper than • theCanadian vvas getting it, he had no case. He had given this subject a good deal of study, and lee was bound to say that he had affidavits showing that the Canadian farmer was paying no more for his twine than was the American farmer. Mr. McMillan (Ifuron) said the gentleman who had opoken on the other side acknow- ledged that a case could be made out if it was shown that the American farmer got his binding twine cheaper than the Cana- dian farmer did. He quoted Mr. Massey as having stated that he could buy binding twine in the States, pay the duties to bring it into this country, and then it would cost him no morelhan if he had bought it in Canada. There might be some excuse for a duty when the money went into the treasury, but when it went to a combine that excuse could not be pleaded. Mr. Smith (South Ontario)- defended the duty. If it was removed we would have to get all our binding twine from the United States, while if it were retained, Manitoba hemp would be employed to a great extent in preparing that product, most necessary for the manufacture of binding twine. Mr. Henderson said that the higher duty on binding twine coming into Canada than on twine going into the United States was no evidence whatever that we were paying higher for twine than the people of the United States. It was true that when the • duty was taken off sugar the price of sugar went down. Nobody expected anything else. The duty on sugar was put on for revenue purposes. When, after years of economical administration,it was found they coield do without that revenue they re- moved theduty. But the dutyon binder twine was intended to promote an industry, and to remove it would only be to kill that in- dustry. The quantity of binding twine required was uncertain until the crop was actually reaped, but by agreeing to take back unbroken packages the Canadian manu- facturers gavegreat advantage to the dealers, which in turn reached the con- sumers. If the Canadians had to depend upon foreign manufacturers, a heavy crop might cause such a demand as would leave them with only one-quarter of a supply. Mr. Casey said the gentlemen opposite said about binder twine what they had said about all other articles which were subjects of the proteetive tariff yea: This article is manufactured in Canada cheaper and better than elsewhere, therefore Canadian manu- facturers must have protection." ' He ridi- culed this position. Mr. Lister contended that the House ought to hear from the member for Halifax (Mr. Stairs), who was a representative of the National Cordage Company, the mon- opoly which controlled this business in Can- ada. The hon. gentleman had an interview this afternoon with the Finance Minister on this subject, and the House had a right to know the result of that interview. He in- vited the member for Halifax to state his views upon this subject. Mr. Bain said the important point to be noted was that farmers regarded the duty as a tax. He ridiculed the gentlemen oppo- site for their claims of loyalty, contrasted with their willingness to maintain duties for the benefit of a great monopoly of Ameri- cans. At the conclusion of Mr. Bain's address the House divided on Mr. Watson's amend- ment to place binder twine on the free list, which was lost. Yeas 64, nays 107. The House went into Committee of Sup ply and passed several items relating to immigration. Sir John Thompson agreed to Mr. Laurier's request that the debate be resumed at 3 o'clock on Wednesday next. Sir John Thompson said he begged to ask permission to introduce a bill readjusting the representation of the constituencies in this House in accordance with the notice which stood in his name on the paper. He was sure the bill would be well received by the House, if he could judge by the anxiety evinced by the gentlemen opposite that it should be brought down. He did not claim this bill would satisfy everybody. That was the only misgiving he had upon the subject, but he thought those disposed to criticise a measure of this character, apart from every political consideration, would say that those who are not pleased are hard to please. Ontario had in 1881 a population of 1,926,922, now itE4 population was 2,112,989 ; Quebec in 1881 had 1,359,- 027, now 1,488,586 ; Nova Scotia in 1881 440,572, now 450,523 ; New Brunsvvick in 1881 321,233, now 321,294; Prime Edward Island, in 1881,. 108,891, now 109,088; Manitoba, in 18i1, 2,260, now 154,442; British Columbia, in 1881 49,49; now 92,- 767; Territories, ia 188 25,515, now 67,- 554. The redie I ribu would leave Ontario 92 members, Ise at present, and Quebec 65, as at present; Nova Scotia, by reason of the fact that the growth of popu- lation had not been as great as in the other provinces, would lose . one member, and would hereafter have 20 instead of 21; New Brunswick, for the same reason, in- stead of having 16 would have 14 ; Prince Edward Island, instead of having 6 would have 5; Manitoba, Which new had 5, would be entitled tee 7. The representation of the Territories was based on an arbitrary arrangement, whicoh it was not proposed to disturb. There were now, and sbill would be, 4 members ; British Columbia, according to the proportion of popolation, woald be entitled to 4 members, but, under the terms of the Act of Union, the province rnuet have 6 representatives until by increase of 'population it was en- titled to more. In Prince Edward Island to give five members instead of six it nrottld be necessary to entirely re -arrange the corn 'Attila/mien According to the division reposed West Prince (Aunty would have bout MAO population ; East Prince, 20,723, inolndiug the town of Surnmereide ; West Queen'e would have 22,209, including the eity of Charlottetewo ; East Queen's Would have 23,460; and King's would bave 21,084, inoluding Georgetown. The county lines were departed from in each mute, Ire New liruneweek there was first to be noted the change in the city and County of $t. John- It Was prorated to take one neetnber from the city and county, making the rep-, resentation hereafter one member for the city and one for the city and colint5a It was intended to join the countice of Sunbury and Queen's. Thus two members would be out out, leaving fourteen representatives. The city and County of Bt. john had a population of 49,374. The united counties of Sul:diary and Queen's would have 17,935. In Nova bootie the smallest constituency was the County of Queen's, with a media tion of 10,610. Shelburne'the adjoining county to the westward, had 14,954, while the adjoining county to the eastward was Lurienburg, with 81,076. It was propesecl to unite the counties of Shel- burne and Queen's, with a population of a little over 24,000. The unit of the popula- tion in the Province would be about 22,000. Conaing to the Province of Quebec, he desired to mention that there were some leading features not connected with the question of the aggregate of pope.- lation. There were great centres of popu- lation in the Province which should. have larger representation. The city of Montreal, which had three members, had a population of 182,695. Hochelaga had 80,998, the two together having a population of 263,693 with four members. In the opinion of the Government it was just that the represen- tation of the city should be increased to five, and Hochelaga should have two members In addition to that, the County of Ottawa called for an additional representative be- cause of increased population. Under the new arragement it was proposed that Ottawa county should be divided into two coun- ties, each with a populationof about 32,000. in•Ontario there world be very few changes. Just as in Quebec, it was necessary to give large centres of population, Ottawa county, Montreal and Ifoohelaga, additional repro- eentation in the House, it was found it could not be done without altering constitu- encies having smaller population, so reasons called for changes in Ontario of the sanie kind. There is the case of Toronto, which calls for a change, as in the case of Mont- real, and requires an additional represen- tative. There is a necessity likewise for providing an additional representative for the district of Algoma. Also theyproposed to give a member to Nipissing district, known as North Renfrew, and which in- cluded a portion of Eastern Algoma. .In giving an additional member to the city of Toronto, the Niagara district would be reconstructed so as to bring the constituen- cies about up to the average population. The electoral dietrict of Lincoln and Niagara world consist Of the town of • Niagara, the city of Si. Catharines'the townships of Grantham, Clinton, Louth, Pelham and Gainsborough, and the villages of Beamsville and Port Dalhousie. The electoral district of Welland shall consist of the townships of Bertie, Cnowland,Ilumber- ston, Stamford, Thorold and Willoughby, the villages col Chippewa, Fort Erie,Niagara Falls, Thorold and Welland,Haldimand and Monk shall consist of the townships of Oneida, Rainham, Seneca, North Cayuga and South Cayuga, Canborough' DuninMoniton, Sherbrooke, Wainlieet, andthe villages of Caledonia, Cayuga, Hagersville and Dunn- ville. South Wentworth shall consist of the townships of &Whet, Binbrook, Barton, Glanford, North and South Grimsby, CaistoriEast and West Flamborough, the town of Dundee'the villages of Grimsby and Waterclown. North Wentworth -and Brant shall consist of the townships of Ancaster, Blenheim, East., Brantford, South Dumfries, and Beverley. These were the only changes made by the bill in the Province of Ontario. It would be observed that the reconstruction which world take place was confined to Toronto and the group of districts about Ontario lake. Sir Richard Cartwright—Give us the population of Haldimand and Mersa. Sir John Thompson—The emit of popula- tion is 23,000.

It was not proposed at present to make anyehange in the representation of the Territories. No change was required in the number of members for the Province of British Columbia, but some change was calledfor by the alterations in the popula- tion of certain districts. • Sir Richard Cartwright—How is Toronto to be divided? • Sir John Thompson—West Toronto is given two members.

VIE TRAVELLING DAIRY Rata 011 the Uove—whe Experiment of • /met Tear Developed on a Substantial 84101$.-8eMe reintere Ior Tito1e In- •terested. The lame Travelling Dairy ie probably familiar to readers of the Times who are interested in dairy matters, for during last ;summer reports %mewed from time be time la the leedeng daily pe,pere telling of the work being done in various parts of the Province by Prof, Dean, of the Ontario Agricultural College, and his two aesietants, Messrs. Palmer and Brown, who helped him in his difficult task of bringing the most modern methods of making butter and test- ing milk practically before the eyes of the farmers, and of lecturing on those most im- portant subleets—the breeding, care and feeding of milch cows, the handling of milk, and on all subjects bearing on dairy farming. °limn TGE TRAVELLING DAIRY. It will be remembered that the Hon. John Dryden, Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, first conceived the idea of pending a travelling dairy through the Province to give farmers and their wives and daughters practical instruction in butter -making and to arouse a keener interest in dairy matters generally. For this purpose he obtained a small appropria- tion from the Legislature, and on consult- ing with President Mills, of the Agricultural °college, they decided to send out Prof. Dean and two assistants, who were to take with them a complete outfit of butter - making and milk -testing apparatus, and to hold meetings at various places as arranged beforehand by Mr. Mills with the seoretariee of the different Farmers' Institutes. weia wonx ACCOMPLISHED LAST YEAR. This unique but useful contrivance to help the farming community, and the con- sumers Of butter as well, proved successful beyond all expectation. it was thought at first that during the summer, when farmers were necessarily very burly, they would hardly turn out to the meetings, but the contrary was soon proved, for not only did the farmers and townspeople ttirn out, but a • large number of ladies always appeared on the scene, who took a great interest in the proceedings. After the work was once begun letters arrived daily at President Mills' office ask- ing that the Travelling Dairy might visit this or that county, but it was impossible to go everywhere. During the months of July, and August three counties • were pretty well covered, namely, York, Ontario and Sinnott. Twenty-seven meetings were held in all, the attendance ranging from 30 up to 500 people. During September ten of the leading fall fairs were visited and in October twelve meetings (including attend- ance at three fairs) were held, in Essex county. At the outset many difficulties presented themselves, which, however, were gradually overcome. In nearly every, case those in charge met with a most cordial reception. The meetings were largely attended and the general opinion seemed to be that it was the best thing that had yet been done to lift the butter trade from its present unsatis- fa,ctory condition, and to spread abroad valuable dairy knowledge. • THE WORK PLANNED FOR THIS YEAR. As the experiment proved so successful and of so much practical value, Mr. Dryden decided to ask the Legislature for an in- creased appropriation, so that it could be continued for another year. This approprn ation was obtained during the last session in March. It was, however, deemed ex- pedient to make certain changes in the pro- posed work. First, owing to the hundreds of aPplications sent la, it was *found neces- sary- to send out two separate deputations— one to go east, the other west. Second, owing to the difficulty of arranging meetings satisfactorily, so that proper connectioas could be made on the trains, and also owing to the expense incurred in reaching those points which tile refilwAy did not couch, it WU thought advisable to purchase • MVO teams and waggons, so that the different counties could be covered thor- oughly, independent of trains or livery rigs. With these changes the arrangements aro practically the same as last year. The meetings are arranged by President Mills, aided by the Secretaries of the different Farmers Institutes. ITS RELATION 'TO CREAMERIES AND CHEESE FACTORIES. • It is thought by some that the influence of the travelling dairy, or dairies as they now are, will hinder the advancement of creameries and cheese factories in the Prov- ince; but this is not so. It was not Mr. Dryden's intention when he first started the dairy that it should in any way compete with the creameries or cheese factories ; he desired rather that they should be fostered and upheld by every means possible; for to develop a large and profitable export trade in dairy products he realized that the fac- tory system would have to be, adopted in butter -making, as it has been adopted to a large extent in cheese -making. One great object of the travelling'clairy is to aid butter -makers to leesen the cost of producbion, and to improve the quality of the product made in private dairies, the" output of which finds its way to the local markets, and being very often of poor quality it does not satisfy the palate of the consumer, and hence brings a poor price. •These private dairies are often so located that they are not within reach of factories, or at any rate a certain amount of butter is made, and will be made until winter dairy- ing is adopted, before the factory opens and after it closes. Bub this is not the only object. Perhaps a greater one is • to improve the condition of the dairy cows in the Province, to dis- cuss the breeds of dairy cattle, the best way to breed and feed so as to produce the most profitable breed and to talk over dairy farming in all its different phases. In this way the interests of the factory will be in- creased, not diminished. WHEN THE WORK WILL COMMENCE. Arrangements have already been by Presi- dent Mills for a large number of meetings; One deputation will be in charge of W. J Palmer, B. S. A. Mr. Palmer, a graduate of the Agricultural College, assisted Prof. Dean last year in his travelling dairy work. Re has lately been attending the famous dairy school at Madison, Wisconsin, and visiting some of the large centrifugal creameries in Illinois. He will be assisted by Mr. John aleTavish, of Seaforth, who has an extended experience in practipal buttermaking. During the last three years he has managed the Londesboro creamery, owned by r. John Hannah, of Seafoeth. This deputation will start from Garamocetie, in county Leecle, on May 2nd, with a team and complete oiatfit. The first meeting will be held at Seeley'e Bay on Tuesday, May 3rd, at .2 p. in. From thence they Will proceed to 3/Igin en May 4th, and so en until the county ie well covered. About twenty-one meetinge will be held in this one county. Dr. Preston, M. P. P., of Niiwboro, and Mr. Freeman Button, of Gananogite, seoretarn of the institute, are making the necessary arratagentents.

With the exception of teams and waggons the outfit is nearly similar to that of last year, consisting of an eight -bottle Babcock mill:tester, a No. 3 Daley churn, a lever butter worker, cream can, milk setting cause thermometers, and other utensils necessary to make good butter. About three gallons of cream and some ice are required for each meeting. These are arranged for ahead, and are supplied by some person near at hand, who, after the meeting is over, gets the butter in return for his cream. as THOSE WHO SHOULD ATTEND THE MEETINGS. Everybody who can poesibly do so. There is no excuse nowadaysthe farmer who keeps in the old ruts of Thirty or forty years ago. The man who is alive and eager to gain knowledge bearing on agriculture, even supposing he may know all about his business, he is the man who will get on. But not only the farmer, but the store- keeper, the cheese-feetory man, the cream- ery num, all are interested and all should attend.
