4,ny one but the true one
Many Coneervativo papers, realizing
that thaoensas returns are a strqng
oondernnatign of the policy of the gov-
ernment, try to break their force by
assigning some reason other than the
One one, ae'the cause of the country's
•stagnation. They have so long mis-
t' ledthemselves into a belief that the N.
P. Was.producing prosperity, that they
are loath to accept the irrefutable eyi-
1 denpe,presented to the contrary.
The chief line of argument taken by
'the supporters of the govern ment is
that the "Grit " speakers have driven
the people out of the Liberal , constit-
nences,'and that, that therefore, the
Liberals are responsible for the exodus,
It this argument, silly and untruth -
fill' as it is, were accepted, it would al -
e9 apply in an inverse order, so that

dtioliard Cartwright's constituency has
„,anoreased by 5,000 in the ten years
shows that the argument will not hold
ood, ,
ut there has been an enormous ex-
odus, - no one denies. But the great
ijnestion is, why that exodus has taken
lace. Canada's natural resources are
iheifinest in the world. Its soil and
apability cannot be surpassed. Its
eoiile are energetic, reliable and push -
{ink, : and fill some of the best positions
whenever they have a chance to dis play

iln:ew of all this the question may
vveli be 'asked "why should oltr people
-:leave fora country possessing inferior
advantages?"
There is one answer, and only one
that can be correct. It may not be the
One a good many would like to give, but
�iit'is, nevertheless, the only truthful
• one. It is this ;-Our system of gov-
itraaihent is too elaborate and expensive,
With the faoilities for cor ruption that
t,'retents, and the experiment of tax-,
ingthe many for the benefit of the
10W -has proved a miserable but costly
failure.
It :could not be otherwise. Those

System of protection would never be

Apparent prosperity - might be - exper-
i iced for a time, but inevitably a col-
lapse comes.
It` is time this country quit "experi-
menting " with a fiscal system that is

taperatoine, dishonest in its application,

people may as well admit it first as last.

Among the farm stock of the Pro-
vince there are 118,460 working horses,
131,153 breeding mares, and 210,023 un-
broken horses, making a total of 659,-
636, or 40,481 more than the number
reported last year. There has been an
inorease in the total number of horses
every year given.
The number of hogs in the Province
(1,140,550) has taken a tremendous leap
upward compared with the returns for
the .previous or any preceding year.
The total number of all classes of hogs
in the Province is 305,090 more than in
the previous year.
The total number of horned cattle in
the Province is 1,894,712, which, al-
though 2,813 more than in 1889, is con-
siderably less than the figures returned
for any other year. But although the
total number of cattle has increased
compared with the previous year, the
number of miloh cows in the Province
has decreased by 1,333. The number
of working oxen is decreasing with the
advancement of settlement and general
civilization, being less by 2,405 than in
1888.
The total number of sheep in the
Province is 1,339,695, which is less by
4,485 than in the previous year, and the
least also of any of the years from 1886
to 1890. The decrease has been mainly
confined to sheep over one year old, in
which class there has been a decline for
some years; but the number of young
sheep has increased compared with the
returns of 1888 and 1889. The total
number of fleeces recorded is less by
18,444 than in the previous year.
The total number of all classes of
poultry is given at 6,854,864, which is
550,556 more than the number reported
in the previous year. The largest num-
ber of turkeys is found in the St. Law-
rence and Ottawa counties; the greatest
number of geese is reported in the Lake
Ontario group, and the West Midland.
counties lead in the number of other
fowls in the total number of all classes
of poultry, closely followed in both par-
ticulars by the two districts previously
named.
The total number of cheese factories
reported to the Bureau as in operation
in 1890 was 817, being 33 more than in
the previous year. Th6 quantity of
milk used in the manufacture of cheese
in 1890 is 76,241,189 ib. above the figures
for the previous year, and the quantity
of cheese made therefrom is 6,771,866
Ib. more than the make of 1889. An
increase of $402,388 is observed in the
total value of cheese .manufactured, al-
though the value of cheese per 100 lb.
fell from $9.35 in the previous year to
$9.06. The average quantity of milk
required to make a pound of oheese was
10.54 lb., exactly the same as reported
in 1887. There is an increase of 1,623
in the number of patrons, and of 31,353
in the number of cows. The average
date of opening was May 4th, the same
as that for the eight years, but the ave.
rage date of closing was two days later
than that of 1883-90.
The number of creameries has been
increased by 6. Of the 32 creameries
returned 5 make both butter and cheese,
one each in the counties of Middlesex,
Waterloo, Prince Edward, Stormont
and Glengarry. Only three were thus
engaged in 1889. The output of batter
from the 27 butter factories was 38,896
Ib. per factory, as compared with 29,517
lb. in 1889, 26,592 lb in 1888, and 34,250
Ib. in 1897. The number of patrons in-
creased from 74 per creamery in 1889
to 92 in 1890. The prides realized for
butter averaged $1.77 per 100 lb. less
than in 1889. More than 60 per cent.
of the creamery butter is manufactured
in the counties of Grey and Bruce. Of
the- creameries reporting, seven state,
the quantity in pounds of Dream gath-
ered, and seven the quantity of milk
gathered. The former use 1.693,163 lb.
of cream in manufacturing 373,417 Ib.
of butter, valued at $71,988. It thus
required 4.63 lb. of cream per pound of
butter as compared with 4.14 in 1889,
and 4.38 in 1888. In those creameries
manufaoturing from milk it took 25.24
lb. of
milk for a
pound of
butter, as
u
compared with 24.28 in 1889 and 24.9
in 1887. The average value of the pro-
duct of 100 Ib. of milk by this system
was 79.6 cents (exclusive of the value of
buttermilk). The average from cheese
factories was 86.0 cents. The average
from the 5 oombination cheese and but-
ter factories was 90.2 cents. These fac-
tories used 4,333,003 lb. of milk, and
made 97,3461b. of butter, valued at
$19,551, and 310,438 lb. of cheese valued
at $20,428. By estimating the business
of the seven factories not returned, in
the same proportion to the 27 butter
factories reported, it will be found that
the 39 creameries used 37,812,5341b. of
milk, or the product of 13,770 cows.
Correspondents report a very slow
movement in the erection of silos. The
idea seems to have met with the great-
est fayor in the Lake Ontario counties
and in some of the counties along the
St I;,awrence river, lint even in these
seetiong dairymen are moving eantioue-
ly. One correspondent in Dundas Goma-
t'y states : "If the silos sprinkled over
the township turn out well this year
the prffitioe Yrf.grotring, cern foie ensis
1ag8,ig,likely 'to become quite general
next year. " Another correspondent,
however, claims that an ob7ection to
the silo is "the large amount of work it
demands during a busy season of the
year." Corn ie the principle crop used
fer ensilage. Some oorrespendonts re-
port the silos as being remarkably sue-
oossful, while one suggestively describes
a neighboring silo as "smelling like a
brewery. "

same denial should have been made two
months ago.
Tho Globe very properly says that
the shabbiest and meanest boodling yet
revealed is that in connection with the
sale of Government offices in East
Northumberland by Mr Cochrane's
patronage committee. Fancy a poor
devil, with a wife and family, in receipt
of $1 25 a day from his office as bridge -
tender or towpath men,being compelled
to stump up $150 of his pay to those
cormorants.
Ordinary mortals who steal for a
liveilihood are gentlemen of honor com-
pared with some of the thieves who
bask in the sunshine of Government
sits at Ottawa. It has jest come out in
evidence that some of the clerks there
are in the habit of getting their " dry -
goods and groceries -charged to the pub-
lic service, and paid for out of the pub-
lic chest. These men are the meanest
kind of thieves.
Some of the Conservative papers are
anxious that the Dominion Govern-
ment should investigate Mr. Mowat's
Government of Ontario. The Domini-
on Government has no power to investi-
gate affairs at Toronto. Each is supreme
in its own domain. But the Free Press
would like to find something against
Mr. Mowat's Government so that it
might be able to let the Ottawa gang
down easily. Mr. Mowat has been in
office nigh on to twenty years, and the
first scandal has yet to be proved
against himself or his Government.
Go on with your investigation.
Orange Brotherhood.
The following appears in the Mail,
of Thursday last; The Loyal Orange
Brotherhood Lodge held its regular
monthly meeting on Tuesday night in
the Younge Street Arcade, Bro. Joseph
Campton, W. M., in the chair. After
the usual routine business of the meet-
ing had been gone through, the report
of the committee appointed to enquire
into the working and usefulness of the
Orange Order was received and unani-
mously adopted. This committee was
appointed at the last regular meeting of
the brotherhood, and was also appoint-
ed to consider the question of the ur-
gency of transacting public business on
Dominion day by the Government at
Ottawa. The report of the committee
is interesting in several particulars.
The committee report that so far as
increased membership, public displays,
and apparent respectability are con-
cerned, the order is in a flourishing con-
dition ; but with regard to the working
out of its avowed principles, it may be
truly said that the Orange Order is
only a living corpse.

testimony to his uniform courtesy,

good, and yet their record is a square
blank in this respect. It is true that
the rank and file are honest, and en-
deavour to promote their views, but they
are sadly betrayed by their leaders.
The Orangemen send men to Parlia-
ment to represent them on the floor of
the House, but when these get there
they are ashamed to acknowledge the
influence that raised them, some even
from obscurity, to the dignified posit-
ion which they hold. "Grand Master
Wallace and Bro. Mackenzie Bowell, "
says the report, "may point the breth-
ern to the Act of Orange incorporation
which.they obtained through a back
door, and by the grace of the Jesuits,
as something to be thankful for ; but
the brethren are now finding out that
they must pay a high price for this
Act." The report goes on to show
that the Grand Treasury will realize
$18,000 from the fees imposed on the
lodges for the passing of this Act, "a
nice piece of boodling for somebody at
the expense of the rank and file, who
could, in a more honourable way, get
incorporation for twenty-five cents un-
der the Mowat Act."
The Grand Lodges, great and small,
have concluded ncl dad their
i
mactog
s. Dis-
tinguished brethren from foreign coun-
tries attended, but there was no public
expression on the burning subjects of
the day. "It is indeed sad to say
it," says the report, "but the truth
must be told, the Orange Order
is hopelessly rotten --and impotent
for good under the present regime."
The committee nails upon the members
to let the light of honour guide their
actions in the future, and cast out the
political schemers and traitors within
the fold. With regard to the observ-
ance of Dominion day, the committee
sets forth the Act by which this holiday
was established, and says that in defi-
ance of this Act Parliament assembled
for the transaction of business on that
day, under no painful necessity, and
that when a motion for adjournment
was made it was lost upon division
"It will be seen,"says the report," that
Grand Master N. C. Wallace shirked
the, vote. We submit there is more
than a bad example involved in this; we
hold that the transaction of any impor-
tant business on Dominion day is ille-
gal, sp long as the above Act remains
on the statute book," The committee
also says that the Government that
fails to respeot its own laws teaches
then
p biro to do likewise, and is un-
worthy of respeot and confidence. The
committee does not wonder at the dis-
graceful scandals at Ottawa and Quebec
when theParliament of the country sets
the example of contempt of law and
disloyalty to Canada by the unpatriotic
assembling of Parliament on the
national holiday+.

The September district meeting of

missionary work were partially made,
most of the services being lett for
local arrangement.
The church discipline provides that
a Sabbatho
Soho 1nv
co ention shall ha l
be
held in the district at some time dur-
ing the year, but through an oversight
no arrangements were made at the
proper time, and after an animated
discussion it was decided to leave it
over for a year.
The next district meeting (May)
wilt be held in Clinton.
In the evening a public meeting
was held, with a large attendance,
Addresses that ware really excellent
were given on "Revival Work' by
Revs Messrs Bielby, of Benmil-
ler ; Potter, of Dungannon ; and
Casson, of Seaforth, interspersed with
good music by the choir.
Political Points.
The petition against the return of
Mr James Oonmee as member of the
Legislature for Algoma West has been
dismisesed with costs.
There is a rumor published at
Ottawathat the Governor-General has
expressed the opinion that the present
House of Common: must shortly be
dissolved. Owing to the deception
and corruption practised by the Gov-
ernment at the last general election,
the present Iioulle does net properly
represent the views of the Cahadien
electorate.
The statement is made that the
Marquis of Lorne will by his lack
in the next Inaperiai elections,

Makes the
Weak Strong
The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state of health derive
from hood's Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak
Strong." -It does not act like a stimulant,
Imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Flood's Sarsaparilla overcomes
That Tired Feeling
creates an appetite, purifies the blood, and,
in short, gives great bodily, nerve, mental
and digestive strength.
"I derived very much benefit from Hood's
Sarsaparilla, which I took for general debility.
It built me right up, and gave me an excel-
lent appetite." ED. JENRINs, Mt. Savage, Md.
Fagged Out
"Last spring I was completely fagged out.
ply strength left me and I felt sick and mis-
rable all the time, so that I could hardly
attend to my business. I took ono bottle•of
Hood's Sarsaparilla, and It cured me. There
Is nothing like it." It. C. BEGOLE, Editor
Enterprise, Belleville, Mich.
Worn Out
"Hood's Sarsaparilla restored me to good
health. Indeed, I might say truthfully 1t
Saved my life. To one feeling tired and worn
Out I would earnestly recommend a trial of
Hood'sSarsaparilla." Mns. PsEEE Mosnita,
