Wo promised our farmers free binder Lwiuo, and 1 remember well, in dnye gone by,how the charge wee thrust in mu hums that we were not sincere, that wo were (limply moving resolutions and making speeohee in order to compromise the pooitlon of the Government on the trade question, and that if we acme into power we would never orystaliee 1111108 promises into law. Well, fortunately, we game into office. 1?ortuntttoly for the :country we are here, and fortunately for the hummers we carried out the promisee wbiola wo then gave, and have planed ]binder twine on the fres list. How mush did the farmers realize froln that? It is estimated that the farmers of Ontario need, iu the last harvest, 6,000,000 pounds of binder twine, and by tatting orf the rhlty, you will find that we have affected a saving of nearly $10,000 to the farmers of Outario alone. And In the North-west Torritorieo 'I0re'ie a huge quantity used, though I have not the means of ascertain- ing what the number of pounds is. I3nt, undoubtedly, very largo sums of money will be saved to the farmers of the North• west and Manitoba as well a0 other ports of the country through this policy. 1301 this did nob end the promises of the Liberal party. The Liberal party prom- ised to place corn on the free lint. This afternoon an hon, gentleman (Mr. Well. leer tools fifteen minutes to prove that 'we are all wrong upon the em question. True, there are differences of opinion upon 11 811821 among farmers themselves in different localities as to the wisdom of piecing ooru upon the free list. But you will understand tbet when the Govern. chant is called upon to frame a polioy, they do not frame a policy for one section of the oonntry, but they form a polioy which they believe is, on the whole, in the interests of the whole Dominion. I sleim that free corn is in the 111101eets of the whole Dominion. Why is free corn edvautugeous to the farmers ? Becomes she fanners 0f Ontario partiolularly, and of other parts of the country also, go largely into the raising of cattle and into Ceirying and in order that they may feed their (tattle and fit them for the foreign market iu whish they have to compete with corn -fed cattle, it is admitted by the lost authoritiea in this country that corn is an absolute necessity. It is asserted that free ooru will reduce the price of the teams grain produced on the bum. It 08uuot do so beoacse the prices are fixed »pen the export prices of these articles. We send a large quantity of peas to the old country and the price in the English market regulates the price here. We sell a great quantity of oats in Great Britain, and it is the prioe obtained there that /else the market in Canada. Therefore, 31 the farmers find it more profitable t0 else corn for the feeding of their animals they will sell their peas and oats and other course grains and buy corn. The advantage is very easily proven. I was told to -day that corn could be purchased in Windsor at 18 aunts, mud oats at from 36 to 18 cents per bushel. Supposing a farmer in the neighborhood of Windsor wished to feed his cattle, would it not pay Ike to sell 84 pounds of oats from 10 to 1S cents and buy 56 pounds of corn at 18 Gents ? Will not 56 pounds of corn go imether in the end to sustain and fatten nu animal than 31 pounds of oats ? It ie thus plain that it is of advantage to the themes of the oonntry to have the food which is their raw material as cheap as pee:wible, so that they make their fiuished erLioles as low as possible, and thus realize the highest profit in the British market. But the Li1Ortul party mads other promises. We promised that we would remove specific duties and we have largely aucoeeded in doing so. I ata sorry that they were not ell removed, but, no doubt, le would be difficult to do that. We have always oontended that tbo specific duties tore heavier upon the cheaper geode pur- chased by the poorer olaseee of people than the geode used by the rich. Let me give you an example : Talcs the ease of a shoddy blanket. The old duty was 20 ler Dent. and 10 emus per pound. The blanket I refer to amulet weigh about 8 ponuds and would curb at the factory about $1. That i8 100 per Daub. on the blanket. Now tithe a fine French blanket shat weighs 5 pouude and which yon buy for $6. The epeaifio ditty amounts to 60 eollte and the ad valorem, e.t 20 per oent., amounts to $1, a total of $1.50, or 30 per twit. as compared with 100 per tent. on she fisherman's or lumberman's blanket. Thal is how the privaipttl worked. Talkie any 12/11018 on which there le a epeaifio slaty, not wines, 8pir11.0, beer and toha000, with whiob 1 have no concern, but talkie articles used by the people -and apply this privaiplo and you will find that the 11'leci$0 duties bear very heavily upon the );oode used by the poorer class. The Liberals promised to remove this form of Amy, and I am glad to say that in the sesoloti0n8 before us they have been re- . moved to 8 very large extent, showing that the Liberal party hes oarried out 1008onably well tIte promises it made, it8 eati0n thus far being an evidence of what ie. to be clone in the near tutors, We bide promised that luxuries should be taxed higher than they were before. From the public, platform wo proved to the people that Many luxuries were im. ported into the oonntry which bore a lower cInly 111108 1)8113' of the emissaries of life, and we aoutended that taxation ebould fall more heavily upon theee ladies who are willing and ready and able to buy the luxuries they wanted. .dad what has been the result 7 On silk velvets and all m8nuht0tures of ai11c, em. broidery, hoes, jewellery, gold and eilvr i1bated ware, liquors; tobacco, oigars, 4ugarettos, atm„ the duty has been in- greased by this new Liberal tariff, thus •vindicating the promisee made by the Liberals to the people.

The following resolutions were passed unanimously :- That this Couveution desires to place on record its unbounded faith and admin- atiou for the able manner in which the HOU. A. S. Hardy has ooudnctod the business of this Province.

Throughout Eastern Ontario, and the Province at largo, farmers and fruit growers cultivate and annually harvest large quantities of Summer and early Winter varieties of apples. Even though the fact hi so plainly nuderstood by grow• ors that these varieties do not find a profitable market in Canadian demand, or carry well enough to allow of exporters placing them Suee88efelly upon the foreign market, yet they are produced each year in inuroased quantities. Probably with the advent of cold stor- age, the soft apple, of a better quality than the ordinary early variety, may bo expol'tod profitably. In the meantime, to ascertain the relative values of 1110 several varieties of the early frith for ave. porating and drying purposes, somo£orby- sue kinds wore experimented with by Prof, Craig, the Horticulturist of tho Ex- porlmontal Farm, last Autumn. Taking a stated number of pounds of each variety and snbjeoting them to the process of evaporation through the machine for that purpose, the quantity of water which was loot nx the drying operation, and tho con- 0equ011t weight of the dried product which remained, were all carefully and acmu'ately noted. The practical results of these (taped. mental investigations revealed the fact that, out of a bushel of good eound 'Win- ter ripples, the process yielded from six to seven pounds of evaporated stock ; while, on 111e other hand, it was found that not more than four or five pounds of dried product which remained per buabel could be obtained from the largo majority of tho Autumn varieties. When. the cost of producing this article of consumption is eo0sid8red, together with the low price which evaporated apples command at the present time, ono can but eonclttdo that the idea of converting the early varieties of Summer and Autumn apples, by dry- ing the same, into a profitable article of commerce, is purely visionary to say the least. The reason for this is easily ex- plained and the recent experiments of Mr. Oraigbave oleerly demonstrated the fact. The Summer and Autumn apple is soft in texture and contains a far greater percentage of water 1n its tissues than do the keeping varieties. The larg• 0r percentage of water means a cor- respondingly smaller amount of dried product, and that is the exact difference between the profitable and losing trans- action in the business of drying apploe. Tho manufacture of evaporated apples is, at the present time, a very extensively worked industry in the State of New York. In one County alone, last season, no less than 30,000,000 pounds of dried apples were manufactured ; the product, probably, of from six to eight millions of bushels. Apples whiel). were usocl fn 'manufacturing this article slid not net the growers more than eighteen to twenty- five cents per bushel, giving outside figures. A point then for fruit growers to oneidor is the necessity of increasing the number and variety of the Winter apple, and 0,100 whether 1t will nob repay thein to plant new overarch of such trues as bear more largely of the keeping sorts, and where large numbers of trees are set, which boar crops of soft Summer fruit, to inbrordnoo the Winter kind by top grafting, It may also be remarked that the soft Summer variety is not nearly so suitable for cider maiming as the Winter kinds, on account of their ooutainiug a much less percentage of sugar them the latter variety. There is a very marked difference, ac- cording to Mr. Craig, between the eva- porated product 1038 the old fashioned dried apple. In drying apples in the old- fasbioneel way the water was gradually withdrawn by the slow process and no mhhuge took place in the composition of the fruit. In the ease of the evaporated apple, itis subjected to a temperature ranging from 212 to 240 degrees of heat. The reason why the fruit does not scorch at this high temperature is because the process of ovaporation is a cooling one, and the air immediately surrounding the apple and close to it, is oelsiderabiy col. 0r than that of the evaporating ohalnbor gotlocally. S0'bjocting the prepared parts of the apple to this high temperature has the effect of coagulating the albmneuoids of the fruit, and in this form bhoy are prac- tically sterilized, whish accounts for evaporated apples keeping so much better than the ordinary dried product. The Horticulturist then ushered ole into a small store room which had beers especially constructed so that by a system of ventilation, planned by himself, this ohambor maintained, at all times, au even, cool and dry atmosphere. Here he was experimenting npou the possibilities of keeping fruits ruder different conditions. Apples were chiefly the subject of experi• ment, although grapes and MLb80 fruits figured largely upon the shelves, • 00e half of the samples of oath variety of ap' pl80 were wrapped iii tissue paper and the remainder of the epeeim0ns were ex posed to the atmosphere, This experi- ment was duplicated in another room in the dollar, which possessed the memo de- gree of temperature as the first 0hamber referred to, but having this important distinction, that the atmosphere of the cellar room wa0 charged with e, greater percentage of moisture. Tbo tests ihcli- mated that the varieties contained in the cool, dry chamber became shrivelled and lost in pinmpuess as compar4d with those in tho cold, but moist cellar.

Rev, Mr. Jones was born in Kingston - Seymour, Wales, fn January, 1808. H8 was apprenticed, when 14 years of age, to the baker's trade. About this time he was converted and at once began to work for the Savioctl ho had foetid, ofteu walk - lug 5 or 0 miles to assist in bolding meet- ings at which ho evo711e1 exhort, thou walk home, without n0011 rest, to go bo work at midnight. In 1830 Mr. 50000 was un- ited in Marriage to Miss Elizabeth Jones, in Bristol, and she proved herself to bo a helpmeet indeed both in things temporal and spiritual. Their family of Dight children toll died young with the excep- tion of two, William, who became anEng- lish Church minister and died at Diok- son, Ill., whore he was preaching in 1870, and Mrs. Walter Jackson, of Brussels, with whom Mr. Joneo has resided since his wife went home to her reward, 20 years ago. Mrs. Sense died of apoplexy three hours after the stroke and was 00 years of age. Three of the children re- ferred to died in the month, of 0mallpox, at Bristol, England. Mr. Jones labored as a missionary both in Lmuoasllire and Yorkshire, England, his last charge being Liverpool. In 1850 be and his good wife crossed the A1lautlo, lauding at Boston, and located at Amherst, N. F1., and for 0 or 7 years he labored sueoessfnlly with the Baptist deuominatiol ab Elizabeth- town, N. Y., Milton lylills, N.

A year's proba- biou followed, when he aouopted a call to Knox church, Brussels, then Ainloyville, Whore for 20 years he did splendid work both as a preacher and pastor.
