The Cotton gings in
Convention.
The cotton mairfacturers of the Dom -
on held a convention in Montreal this
week. They have decided to close
doWn their mills on Saturdays for the
vext twelve weeks, and have bound
themselves under penalties to ubserve
spa adhere to all rules, terms, prices,
via by-laws fixed on the sixth of Sep-
tember, 1883. Accor$1ing to a state_
sent made by Mr. A. F. Gault the
noon for closing down -the factories on
setnedays was to do away with over-
production. Apart from ' closing on
'base days the association may order a
moral closing down of a week at a
rime. There will be a slight increase in
prices all rotthd, ranging from 5 to 10
iser cent. This is not at all exorbitant
;hen it is considered that the cotton
manufacturing business has been any-
thing but paying during the last three
or four years. The manufacturers are
not meeting for the purpose of taking
elvactage of the trade or the public,
but rather for the benefit of all alike.
The scale of minimum prices which will
be resolved upon will prevent ruinous
competition in certain quarters. The
meeting will have the most satisfactory
results as the greatest unanimity pre-
vailed among all those present upon the
necessity of united action.

Sir -John and Orangeism.
Theollowing communication appear-
ed in the Toronto Globe of Saturday
last:
tteir,-My attention has just been
called tothe factthat on a recent occasion
Sir John Macdonald made the statement
in public that he had never been an
Orangeman. I beg to inform you that -
in the fall of 1844 Sir John Macdonald
and myself were initiated the same even-
ing into the 0 -range Lodge in the city of
Kingston. This was shortly after the
completion of the Kingston City Build-
isgs, for which I was the carpenter con-
tractor, and Mr. Henry II. Benson was
the Master of the Orange Lodge. Mr.
Ogle E. Gowan Was Grand Master of the
Orange Order in Upper Canada at that
time, and presided at the lodge meeting
the evening we were initiated. I am
much surprised and pained to hear that
Sir Jan should deny that he ever was
an Orangeman, and I hope you will per-.
mit me to give a public -denial to his
statement. You are at liberty to make
whatever use you may deem best of this
letter, the facts of which I am prepared
to swear to.
ROBERT FISHER, Seaforth.
Two Ways of Doing It.
There is a story of a Scotch congrega-
tion who, by their loud and persistent
praises of their minister, induced, a
neighboring community to call him to
fill their own pulpit. After their offer
had been accepted, the preacher's elo-
(pen& proved far less wonderful than his
new -flock had anticipated. "How could
yoa crack him up so much ?" said one
of the new congregation to a member of
the old. "Oh," was the dry reply,
"yell all be ready to crack him up, gin
ye see a chance of getting rid of him by
it." This is no new fashion. Addison
tells an instructive story of the just ret-
ribution which befel certain West In-
dian colonists who played a similar game
to rid themselves of an unpopular com-
mandant. This officer talked of resign-
ing his post, and the colony built a
bridge for a flying enemy by joining to
furnish the most flowery testimonials;
lauding him up to the skies, and repre-
senting his fitness for the highest posts.
He departed for England fortified with
these letters of recommendation -to re-
turn as governor of the colony; the ap-
pointment being conferred on him on the
strength of the testimonials vvhich so
clearly showed his popularity in that
particular settlement.
Death of Mr. James Ingersoll,
Registrar, of Oxford.
Mr. James Ingersoll, Registrar of Ox-
ford, died at Woodstock at 5 a. in. on
Monday. Mr. Ingersoll was a son of
Mr. T. Ingersoll (after whom the town
of Ingersoll was named) and Sarah
Whiting, sister of General John Whit-
ing, of Great Barrington, both natives of
Berkshire County Mass. and was born,
in the portion of West Oxford which is
now the town of Ingersoll. He is said
to have been the first white child born
in the County of Oxford. His eldest
brother Charles was a lieutenant of
dragoons in the year -1812, and was
afterwards for several years a member of
the old Parliament of Canada. James
Ingersoll took charge of the Ingersoll
farm in 1818, built a saw mill which was
putinto operation in April, 1819, and in
1820 began the erection of a grist mill
and a distillery. In 1821 he opened the
first store in what is now the town of
Ingersoll. He was appointed. Registrar
of Oxford. in 1834, and held. that position
until the day of his death. He was a
faithful and efficient officer.
In January, 1848, Mr. Ingersoll mar-
ried Miss Catharine McNab, an Irish
lady, who survives him. Four sous and
a daughter have been born to them.
Two sons were accidentally killed, one
having been shot and the other killed in
A toboganning accident. Two other
sons and the daughter, who is the wife
of Wm. A. Bell, county clerk of Chat-
ham, survive him.

---Police Magistrate Lowes, of Guelph,
who was at Fergus] on Wednesday, try-
ing Scott Act cases, was assaulted twice.
The first assault took place at the Com-
mercial house about 6.30 in the evening,
when he was knocked down without the
slightest provocation, not a word having
been spoken. The second offence was
committed about half an hour after-
wards at the railway station, where he
was waiting for the train.
That Binder Trial.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.
To the Editor of TUE HURON EXPOSITOR.
DEAR SIR, -My attention is drawn to two com-
munications, which appeared in the Expositor
of the 30th ult.; one over the 'signature of Geo.
A. Moffatt, the other signed by Geo, and Thos.
Shipley, and both referring to the trial of bind-
ers which took place on the farani'of Mr. Thos.
Shipley, on July 19th. Now, Mr. Editor, as these
reports are both very rniedeading. I ask your
indulgence to allow me space,to answer, in de-
fence of and in justice to myself, else to lay the
matter, in its true light, before the public. In
the first place Mr. Moffatt asks, "Why dld they
bring in a machine that had run through the
. harvest of 1885, with an experienced man and
team to handle it, t� cOmpete with new machines
- out of the shop, just set up, if it was not to take
an undue advantage?" -Great Scott "Take an
undue advantage!" Did the thrashing he got
smart so hard as that, it must have been a very
severe one for him." Take an undue advan-
tage !" see how he acknowledges his defeat, and
limps off with themisleading and childish excuse.
Why did they take an unccue.advantage?" The
reason we did not take a new machine' into the
field is as well known to Mr. Moffatt as to our-
selves, but for the benefit of the publicI will just
explain. The Binder Association (by which Mr.
Moffatt, as well as myself, is governed in selling
binders) prohibits agents from entering field
trials, on any consideration, and as both Messrs.
William_ and Thos. Shipley had previously
bought a new Bmntford binder, we, of. course,
could not enter their field with a new machine
for competition, and in this emergency, Mr.
Churchill, who bought. a "Toronto" from me
last season, being- confident of the efficiency of
his machine, entered the field on his own respon-
sibility, and the result is clearly proven by the
testimonial I append. And now about "the ex-
perienced man th handle R."; Such childish
twaddle! Mr. Churchill's experience with the
Toronto extends only as far back as last season,
while Messrs. Shipley -sin their own letter, boast
of having six years' experience with binders, and
this in connection with the experience of Mr.
Moon and Mr. Moffatthierself. Does it take an
expert to work the "Brantford?" Mr. Moffatt
would lead us to that belief. Again Mr. Moffatt
says, "We knew nothing about the arrangements
until Monday noon, and the machine was at the
station." Yes, Thoinits Shipley's -machine was
at the etation, but

on the farm of Mr. T. Shipley, near Clinton, on
the 19th of July, between the machines of your
make and those of a Brantford Company, and
having seen a letter in a Seaforth paper, in refer-
ence thereto, which is directly contrary to the
facts of the case, we deem it our duty to give a
true version of the trial as it took place. -The
test was in a field of badly tangled grain, and
neither of the other machines managed to get
through without being chocked at every round,
while the Toronto diditswork without any in-
convenience whatever. In our opinion the Tor-
onto did infinitely better work than the Brant-
ford, and any statement to the contrary is not in
accordance with fact, and is made by those who
have a purpose to serve in stating it. We be-
lieve -the Toronto to be a more satisfactory bin-
der all round than any other machine present
that day, and have no hesitation in placing our
signatures hereto as proof of oui belief.
