When Providence has sent him rain and sun- shine in season, then he wants con- sturiers of his products as near as pos- sible, and the nearer he can get them, the better customers they are. If we should ask, the farmers which they would rather have beside them, an- other farmer, or a factory, they would say a factory every time, Why? Be- cause the factory gives employment to men and to women who don't raise the products they require and must buy from the farmers. TEN YEARS OF FREE_ TRADE. The result of Great Britain's experis mice with Free Trade for the past ten years canhardly beencoureging to the Cobden Club, or even to the advocates aFire,-TrAde in this eteentry. A e011a- parison of Britain's foreif.rn counnerce for the Vein's l.A.5 and 1895 shows: That in the quantities of foreign goods imported for consumption into the United R.7ingdoni, there was an in- crease of 44e per cent., while the in- crease in quantities of British produces exported was only 211 per vent. or 23 per eent, less than the increased -quantity of imports. As to prices, we find there was a faUing off of 22e per cent. in the yalue of imports, while the value of the Brit- ish exports MI off by 12 per cent. The cash resat was an increase of $150,- 000,000 in the adverse balance> of last year's British foreign trade as .c(anpar- ed with 1885. This is vertainly not very encouraging to free traders. THE EFFECTS OF FREE TRADED ON THE WOOLLEN INUSTRI OF THE UNITED STATES. -- By special arrangement the opera- tion of the Wilson Tariff Bill for re- venue only as far as woollen goods are concerned, did not take effect till Dec- ember Slst,1801. The following table shows the .disastrous results of its first year's operation upon the woollenraills of the :New England States alone Total mills affected 32 Mills shut down 14 Miffs on quarter time 10 Mills on eighth time 5 Mills on hell time_ Mills practically closed 2 Operatives practically idle 7,500 Estimated annual wages of these operatives one year ago' $a,000,000 Estimated annual wages of these operatives to -day $375,000 Loss to country in wages $2,625,000 Loss to country in raw material $6,000,- 000 .AN UNPREJUDIOED STATE- MENT. Discussing the Reniedial Bill, Rev. Dr, Shaw, Principal of the Wesleyan College, at Montreal, says “I do not go so far as Sir William Dawson on the matters of the Separate Sehool question. I wish it were not a neces- itv. My nssociation with Roman Catholic students in my young days made ree think more -both of them and their church. I wish all eould be - educated together. But the question is purely a constitutional one: If the rights of the Roman Catholic minority in. Manitoba, described not by indivi- dual caprice, but by the highest court in the Empire, be not respected, as . one of the Protestant Minority of Quebec, I say the British North Am - rice Act, is not worth the paper it is written on. Our grievances, . if we have any, may at any time, be e foot- ball fax political partisans. I knew the Remedial Bill was a constitutional necessity from the - start and I have faith in the people of Canada to know that in the end hiev must be maintain- ed. I think it is quibbling to point to the word "inay." "Given on the one hand, a grievance . judicially declared, and, on the other, a remedy which may be Applied and . .every principle of law declares that eriaY' means 'shall.' The veord 'may' simply empowers the Dominion Par- liament to entervene„ and the grie-e- h ance judicially declared creates the • - obligation for its relief." ,ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON ON THE VALUE OF THE N. P. Our esteemed contemporary, the Cornwall Standard, says :-"A local •dealer was captured by the Customs officers, on Wednesday, with eleven tubs of butter, which he was trying to smuggle in from the other side of the river. He had to pay the full value of the butter, nearly $60, to the Customs authorities before it was released. This sort of thing has been of frequent occurrence lately, every class of farm produce selling so much lower on the Aroerican side- that many buy there, ancl attempt to evade the Customs. No better or more practical illus- tration of the value of the National Policy to the farmers can be given than this. With the free trade policy that would be put in force if Mr. Laur- ier and his friends should get into power, there would be nothing what- ever to prevent the dealers and con- sumere on this side of the line from crossing over with their cash and bringing back the farm products of our Yitrikee neighbors to conapete with the total producers. Prices would necessarily -drop at once, and the rlifferenee would come du ectly out TRF E X ET 1.11 R i E B 1 a the pockets of our fear-mere, There The Latest N ews, can be no doubt about this, People would nottake the risk of smuggling unless there wan big money in it. Take off the duty and the fanners on this side WoId be compelled to accept $2,00 per hundred less for their pork, 15 to 20 cents per bushel less for their po- tatoes, 5 cents per lb. less for their butter, le to 211. cents per lb. less for thew beef, ancl so on through the wb.ole list of products of the farm. This is the way the Liberal leaders propose to improve the condition of the fatmers if they are entrusted with the administration of the affairs of the country. It would be a sorry day in- deed for Canada if they should succeed in getting into power.' he -tete WHAT HAVE THE OPPOSITION DONE' What have the Opposition to the Dominion t d t tl Gov ernmee one ut should secure public approval? 1. They opposed the purchase of the Northwest Territories or $1,500,000. 2. They opposod the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. 3. They opposed the construction of the Grand Trunk Railway, by oppos- ing the public aid given to that enter- prise. 4. They left our latarket Open, while in power, to the American farmers, while their Markets were closed to us, 5. They advocated in opposition a Commercial Unionwith the United States. 6. They were ready and anxious to discriminate against Great Britain. 7. They inereased our taxes while in power three million a year, a. They td our tea and coffee that every man uses. 9. They increased our debt $40,000,- 000 and left nothing to shoes' fcr it but a history of deficits. 10. They increased the superannuat- ion expenditure four times as fast Ile have the Conservatives. 11, While preaching purity they have preetised the most epee face cor- ruption. 12. They have changed their trade policy- almost every ,year to try and get into power and: have thus shown themselves to be demagogues. The above it seems to us are twelve good reasons why these gentlemen should be kept Out of power. , - NOTES AND COMMENTS. It is the home market that the English farmer is now pleading for, and it is the home market that the Liberals ask Comedian farmers to throw away las worthless. + x Accordingto the evidence of Inspec- tor Christie before the public Accounts Committee of the Ontario Legislatnre, it cost $58.56 a head to feed cattle at the London Asylum last year.

Laurier looked at the division list ,ou the Remedial Bill, and saw the names of Mr. Clarke Wallace and Mr. Dalton McCarthy on the same side as his own, he did not say, thank God, there are no Orangemen among us, the Liberals. + x x The Liberals in Parliament are, evidently, resolved that the Manitoba minority shall get no remedial legis- latice. this session.

Would it not be a very good idea for Uncle Sam to put a barbed wire fence around his ranch and keep out ever ybody. It woald really matter very little to Can- ada, and would be a wonderful source of satisfaction to a lot of dog in the manger Yankees -Kingsville Report- er. X + X The opponents of the remedial bill talk very glibly of the great principles involved. It is simply the right of the Roman Catholics of Manitoba to spend their own money, in the education of their own children, in accordance with the dictates of their own con- sciences -a right they bargained for and were solemnly guaranteed before Manitoba entered the union. They don't ask for a cent of Protestant money. Why not let them have what belongs to them? Why should we bump our hacks, like cats in the presence of a strange dog, at a bill which provides that the school taxes which are taken from Catholics shall be returned to them for the support of their own schools? x In spite of the sad pictures the Lib- erals are painting, Canada's trade tends to show that it is constantly improving, particularly in those branches which interest the far- mer most directly. For instance, we shipped from Montreal last year 91,972 cattle, whereas in 1891 the ship- ments numbered 88,085 head and in 1893 only 83,322. But a still greater improvement is shown in the horse trade, the exports at that point were 1,600 in 1893, 5,623 in 1894 and 1 3 , 2 0 3 i n 1 8 9 5 . Gratifying as this increase must be it is less than the increase in the sheep trade. Of these there were shipped from Montreal in 1893 only 3,743, this trade jumped up in 1804 to 139,780 and in 1895 it still further increased to 210,607. The farmers are feeling the benefit of the exertions of the government in their behalf. G, Cloutier was killed at Ottawa by jumping off a moving train. Rev. Dr. Carson, a well-known Can - adieu minister, died in Detroit. lames McDonald's infant daughter was burned to death at London. Patrick Connors was killed on the Grand Trunk Railway at Hamilton.

The Liberals of South Middlesex are in a quandary. Their crop of candi- dates for Dominion Parliamentary honors is just double what they would be thankful for. They need one, and have two. Robert Boston, M. P., of Lobo, has the nomination of the con- vention, held at Delawarelast fall, and Col, P. B. Leys, of South London, threatens that he will rtm on the Liberal platform also if Boston is not put out of the way. That this can be accomplished does . not seem at present to be possible. In the Divisional Court at Toronto on Satmelay, the suit of Anderson vs. the G. T. R. came up for review. It was a jadgmeet on motion by plain- tiff to set aside non -suit and to enter judgment for plaintiff for $3,000 in action by personal representative of deceased person for deanagee. At trial Meredith, C. 3. directed a non- suit, and the parties agreed that if mien appeal the court should be of opinion that there was any evidence to go to jury, plaintiff was to be en- titled to judgment for $3,000. De - cased travelled on a return ticket from Ailsa Craig to London. When lie started to return he was warned that all trains had been cancelled owing to storxn, and that his train would take him only to Lyman Cross- ing, a station at the intersection of the London, Huron Ss Bruce Rail- way, four miles from Ailse which could not be approached ex- cept by crossing adjoining farms, whose owners had forbidden trespass, or by. walking aloeg track. Deceased goVeff at Lucian Crossing, and, walk - mg along track to get to highway, was killed at the third telegraph pole from the station by a freight train. Held, that deceased, being lawfully at Luc= Crossing station, had in this case a right af egress by the railway track. The defendants. by their con- duct, implicitly invited the public to use the railway track as a means of egress, and deceased could not be held. a trespasser, or convicted under section 273 of the Railway Act. There was evidence of neglect by the defendants of duty cast upon them by section 256 cif the Act, because deceased was lawfully on the track, and plaintiff was therefore entitled to have case submitted to jury. Judg- ment for plaintiff for $3,000 (to be hereafter distributed,) with full costs of action. ---------- - . Perth County Notes. John Madigan, of Hibbert, is dead.

In a foot note in the report of an ex- periment in feeding animals found in the 20th annual report of the Massaahu setts Experiment Station is the following assertion: "The many experiments at this station have shown that hay Is too costly to be fed in large quantities to cows and growing stook. Its place should be taken by other eoarse foddors." Is this statement correct? We know a comparatively young farmer who is now making money by buying old worn-out farms, and renova- ting and restoring them, and by his good farm sense, putting them into al better producing condition than they ever were before. This man does not rent his farms, but hires all the labor 'teen done, under, his own direction, and as a result, all his old worn-out farms aro constantly inn - proving. .And even in these "hard tiznes" the products furnish him large interest on the money invested, besides the con- staut increase in the value of his farms. Re Is an intelligent and careful farraer and he reaps bis reward. The market gardeners have made farm- ing in the outskirts of °Wes, a profitable Industry, but very few dairy farmers have as yet availed themselves of the same op- portunities. Customers who know where their nallk, and cream comes from are al- ways willing ,to pay good prices. A dairy farm located not far from a large oily can be run on a paying basis, and ous- tomers can be found by simply advertis- ing the fact, and delivering the milk fresh to thorn every day direct from the tarm Anow use has been found by ship- builders and sailors for the pith frau oorn stalks. It has been found muoh bet- ter for packing war ships, so as to close the holes made by shot, than tho cellu- lose, whioh is the product of the cocoanut fiber. With a packing of uorn-stalk pith, shot holes oloso up almost immediately when water touches it, and effectually prevents any leak. The fire tests are equally satisfactory. The cellulose from cocoanut Aber burst into flames under tests where the corn pith was absolutely free from fire. These important proper- ties of corn pith will, undoubtedly, ma- terially add to the value of the corn crop, and furnish another illustration of the use whit% modern science is making of what used always to be thrown away ea worthless. It is a mistake to suppose that any kind of fertilizer will injure the soil ex- cept as it mates mops grow more thrift- ily, and thus takes from the soil plant food which the fertilizer does not itself supply. When the phosphate manure fails to produce its former effect it shows that other plant food, most probably nitrogen, Is Jacking and must be given to seoure full yield. The alteration of nitrogenous manure is espeoially important for land that has long been phosphated. On suoh soil there is probably enough phosehate In the soil, but it has reverted to insolu- ble forms. The addition of nitrates pro- motes decomposition and thus makes the phosphates again soluble.
