American and Canadian Prices.
The assertion is repeatedly made,
*hat but for the duties, American
farmers would send their produce into.
--Qanada, and destroy the home market.
The absurdity of this statement is ap-
parent to all who are familiar with the
actual state of affairs, but a quotation
from the Empire's own columns is sup-
plement.�,l evidence. Here are the
quotations from the Empire's., Buffalo
and Toronto market reports :- ' -'

What nonsense to talk of "protbct-
ing" the Canadian against the compe-
tition of the American farmer, who is
getting higher prices at home for his
products. What the farmers of Onta-
rio desire' is freer trade relations with
the United State's, which are the na-
tural markets for a large proportion of
their products. A Liberal Govern-
ment at Ottawa, nut tied hand and
foot to the combines, could arrange
better trade privileges with our neigh-
bors, and as a result our farmers would
not only get Buffalo prices for all their
live stock sent there, but the Toronto
prices would have to go up to the same
'figure, in order to secure a share of the
trade. The interest of the farmer lies
in free trade, not in restricted markets.
In this connection, the following
despatch from Buffalo, under date of
Feb. 2, will be of interest :-
"In almost every instance where the
duty has been diminished the importa-
tions have nearly doubled, and in some
Uses they have increased to even a
larger extent. This is especially true
of Canadian barley and foreign fabrics.
Barley is now being shipped here in
innmensc quantities. Other Canadian
farm products, since the new law went
into effect, have found a demand in
Buffalo markets. Live stock, including
_,sheep, lambs, cattle ,and some horses,
contribute to the influx of taxable
odds from across the border. Deputy
i ollect.or Collins says the trade with
>anada under the new tariff has had
an immense impetus, and weekly
shows an increase. He does not doubt
that the fiscal year will at its close
show that 'the year's operations at the
customs will have exceeded all previous
years." -

RATTENBURY ST. CHURCH. — The
quarterly meeting exercises in connec-
tion with this church, held on Sunday
last, were not only well attended, but
were evidences of increasing spiritual
life. The love feast was a means of
race to a large number. The morn-
s ]tag sermon, by the pastor, Rev. J. W.
Holmes, was an elaboration of the text
"Ye are the light of the world," and
the number who afterwards partook
of"the sacrament was unusually great.
Tne spiritual condition of this congre-
gation shows continual development.
The quarterly official meeting showed
the finances to be in good shape, there
being's, balance on hand. The follow-
ing resolution speaks for itself: -Moved
by W. R Lough, seconded by H. E.
Hodgen, and carried unanimously,
that this board desires to express.,its
dipredation of the labors of Rev.J.W.
mes during his pastorate, and also
*tend
dimes,
an *invitation to return for
Oft third year; and we earnestly pray
Ahab the consecrated spirit of the pas -
may be 8o infectious that we mar
-imbued With the •Sirit of Christ,
*Aid thereby be better fitted to labor in
*kr meeter s service.
The 33rd
Battalion Dinner.
The first annual dinner given by Lieut.•
Col. W ileon and officers, of the 33rd Batt.
Huron Infantry, was held in the Ratten•
bury House, Clinton, on February 1st.
About 30 of the officers,^ ex -officers and
friends sat down to a repast prepared by
mine host, Mr Rattenbury. The dining
room presented a very brilliant appearance
for lavishness and beauty of decoration;
the variegated beauty of the uniforms pre-
sented as attractive a picture as one may
wish to see, and the spectacle viewed from
the outside was gorgeous and inspiring. It
was a matter of regret that Lieut. -Col.
Smith. D.O.L., and the members of Par-
liament for the county, through pressure
of other engagements, found themselves
unable to appear. The menu would have
done honor to the Queens or Rossin House,
Toronto, and Mr Rattenbury received many
congratulations on having the finest spread
ever presented in Clinton. The service was
of the very best, as Sergeant Harry Read
had his men well trained in their duties.
After justice had been done to the dinner
the President, Capt. Williams, and Vioe-
Pres., Dr. Shaw, proposed the following
toasts, which wore responded to by the
guests present:—The Canadian Militia and
Volunteer System, responses were made by
Dr. Holmes, Major Wilson, Capt. Hays,
and songs by Capt. Rance, Major Jordan
and Capt. Young,
The ex -Officers, responded to by Lieut.
Jackson, Capts. Jackson, Howard, Todd
and Roberts.
The Legislature, responded to by Capte.
D. A. Forrester, Beck and Rance.
The Learned Professions, responded to
by Dr. Freeborn and Capt. Wilson.
Trade and Commerce, responded to by
G. D. McTaggart, D. M. Jackson and John
Ransford: . • -
The Ladies, responded to by Lt. McTag-
gart and R. G. McDonald.
The Press, responded to by Capt. Todd.
Those present were Lieut. Col. Wilson,
Major Wilson, Capt. Wilson, Capt. Combe,,
Capt. Hays, Capt. Rance, Lt. MoTaggart,
Dr Holmes, Dr Shaw, Paymaster Jordan,
Quartermaster Beck, Capt. Young, Capt.
McDonald, Capt. Williams. The ex-offio-
ere were, Capt. Howard, Capt. Jackson,
Lt. Jackson, Capt. Robert, Lt. Courtioe,
Capt. Forrester, G. D. 11'(,gTaggart, Dr.
Freeborn, W. Jackson, J. R�i'usford and R.
J. McDonald.
The Citizen's Band, under the leadership
of Mr Shank, kindly played some stirring
military and other airs during dinner. As
this is the best band in the county, they
are entitled to the honor of being the 33rd
Batt. Military Band, and in the near futfire
may have.that distinotion. G�

er ii .nutinbers than on' previous o0osaione,
was a suecoss, and many questions of vital
importance to the order, were disouseed in
an agreeable and masterly spirit. What it
looked in numbers wits counterbalanced by
enthusiasm. There were present delegates
from the extreme northern corner of How;
iok, and also from the extreme south of
Hay, as well as from north of Ashfield and
intervening pointe; showing that Patroniem
is still very much alive in this county.
The following officers were elected for the
year 1895: -
Co. President -A. T. Dean, Dashwood
Co. Vice -Pres -J Govenlook, Seaforth
Co,Seo-Treas-W.S.Lawrence, Clinton
Co� Sentinel -J. S. Brown, Seaforth
Co. Auditors f J S. Philips, Kippen

Delegate to Greed Aeso'tion-R.Common
Alternate, James Connolly, Holmesville
After the eleotion of officers, Mr. Forrester,
Patron candidate for the Commons for
West Huron, was called upon, who in hie
usual able manner, addressed the meeting
to some length, and partly outlined his po-
sition, and who would have entertained the
meeting much longer to its profit and satis-
faction, had it not been for the lateness of
the hour.
Mr. R. Common, the Patron candidate
for the Commons in South Huron, was then
called on, who had also to curtail his re-
marks, owing to the night being far spent.
What he did say, however, was to the point,
and went to show to the Patrons o' South
Huron that they had a candidate of whom
they need not be ashamed, as he is a good
clear speaker aad close reasoner.
The following motion was then passed:—
Moved by W. S. Lawrence, Clinton, second-
ed by J. Northoott,Exeter, that this County
Association tender its, thanks to the Town
Council of :;Minton, for its kindness in al-
lowing us the free use of the hall for our
meeting, after which the association ad-
journed, to meet in Clinton, the first Tues-
day in February, 1896.—Coe.
South Huron Orange Lodge.
ANNUAL MEETING.
Although the weather was very in-
clement, it did not prevent a large
number of Orangemen from the differ-
ent districts of South Huron from as-
sembling in Exeter, at their annual
meeting, held there on the 5th inst.-
Most encouraging reports of the pros-
perity of the order, were given byWor-
shipful District Masters present. The
lodges under their jurisdiction, appear
to be in a flourishing condition, both
financially and numerically. The wor-
shipful County Master, who has held
the positionforflve years, in the course
of his address, informed the brethren
he would resign. This intimation was
received with great regret by the mem-
bers in attendance, and an address,
couched in language which showed
very forcibly bow much they appreci-
ate his wise counsel, his firmness and
ability in overcoming difficulties, and
his untiring efforts for the advance-
ment of the Order, was arranged by a
special committee and presented to
him.
During the sessions addresses were
given by Brethren Rev Wm. Stout,
Dr. Freeborn and Geo. Hanley. These
speeches were very instructive and in-
spiring, and were well received.
A resolution, congratulating Bro. Sir
McKenzie Rowell, on his being honored
as Premier of this Dominion, was
framed and adopted, and the Secretary
was authorized to send the same to
him.
A very pleasing texture in the meet-
ing was the harmonious way in which
the officers were elected, all being
elected by acclamation except one.
The following comprises tide list for
1895: -John Neil, W.M.; G. M. Kilt,,
D.M.; Geo. Hanley, Honorary Chaplain
for life; Rev Wm. Stout, Chap.; Peter
Cantelon, R.S.; Wm. Caldwell, F.S.;
John Beacom, Treas.; Robt. Scarlett,

The next celebration was arranged
to be held at Seaforth; the next semi-
annual meeting, at Hensall, and the

The regular meeting of the council was
held on Monday evening. The Firemen
made application for a pair of rubber boots
for eaoh member of the company; the mat-
ter was referred to the Fire and Water
Committee. Reeve MoMurohie was granted
two months' leave of absence. The follow-
ing members of the Fire Company were
reported and accepted: -R. Homely, Capt.;
G. Rumball, Lieut.; C. Hedger, T. Cottle,
B..Stevene, H. Glazier, W. Wheatley, R.
Welsh, W. Dowzer, J. Rands, John West,
J. Cook, H. Roeder and W. Ball.
The Finance Committee recommended
payment of the following acoounts:-W.
Wheatley, $3.50; J. Becker, 26.10; Electric
Light Co., 25.85; J. Wheatley, 3 months'
salary, 2108.75; R. Welsh, salary, $68.75;
W. Coats, salary, 256.25; S. Pratt, salary,

tramps, $1.08; News -Record, $14.50. Re-
ceipts—scales, 212.10, rent of hall, $55;
rent of office, $5, from cemetery $16.25.
The report of the Charity Committee
showed an ex"penditure of - 29.49 for the
month. Mr Kennedy stated that the room
in the town hall had been rented at 25 a
month. The tieasurer's report showed a
balance on hand for the month. The Street
Committee, on motion of Mr Searle, was
empowered to remove useless lamp posts,
dead trees, and some other useless trees on
the streets. A letter was read from Mr
Hess, of Zurich, offering to supply, a town
clock, that would strike every hour, at
2400; it was thought that the tower was
not strong enough to stand one, and it is
likely bin Hess will be asked o inspect it
and give his opinions
Tow' OFFICERS.
The committee reported as follows: -For
the position of bell ringer, etc., three appli-
cations were reoeived, for town constable,
etc., one application;. for united positions
"of bell ringer, constable, eto., none; for
assessor, three; for cemetery superinten-
dent,'two. The committee recommended
the re -appointment of Messrs Weleh,
Wheatley, Stevens and Reynolds to the
positions specified, and also the re -appoint-
ment of the Clerk and Treasurer. It also
recommended that, in case a town clock is
put in during the year, an amalgamation
of the offices of caretaker, constable, etc.,
be made on such conditions as deemed
best.
Thi report came in for considerable dis-
cussion. Coup. Searle was in favor of giv-
ing the caretaker a larger salary, as he had
to give all his time to the town, and he pro-
posed several ohangee to the report. The
Mayor pointed out that this could not be
done without destroying the work of the
committee; the whole question had been
informally discussed by members of the
council, every suggested improvement oon '
sidered, and the discussion arrived at that
the report embodied the very best that
could be done under existing circumstances.
Mr Kennedy moved in amendment to
the report, seconded by Mr Gilroy, that the
name of Mr George Gordon be substituted
for that of Mr Welsh. Mr Gilroy advanced
his reasons for supporting the resolution,
stating that while he bad no personal
grounds whatever of objection to Mr Welsh,
he believed,the position should go to some
one else, and he made an urgent appeal on
behalf of his candidate. The yeas and nays
being called for, the amendment was lost,
the mover, seconder and Conn. McKenzie
being the only ones voting for it.
The entire report of the committee was
then carried without further dissent,

The report of the Committee on.Temper-
ance work was handed in by W._.6. Butt,
chairman, and was as follows:—Your com-
mittee recommend all temperance people,
with the Royal Templars, to ask all town
and township councils in each municipality
to reduce the number of liquor licenses or
places where liquor is sold, and guard
against any new licenses being granted.
We recommend all trustees of Public and
High Schools to be temperance men,and that
they use their influence to engage teachers
who are total abstainers, and wherever
praotioable, to use .the temperance pledge
among the children. We recommend
Royal Templars to uce their influence to
elect men who are known to be total ab-
stainers as municipal officers and members
of parliament. The report was adopted.

ONTARIO ST. METHODIST CHURCH.
The quarterly services were held last

large number of communicants at the

town hall, and were always listened to
by crowded houses. The choir pur-
pose rendering the coming concert in
their own church,and as they are pre-
ppringg a very' nteresting program
they should l�iave a crowded church on

ing of a copy of the Royal Templar in each
home, and also the reading of such temper-
ance literature as "Ten years of Temper-
ance," "Vanguard," eto.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MEMORiALS, ETC.
Moved by Bro. Butt, sea. by Bro. Del-
gaty, that we memorialize the Grand
Council to ingtruot the editor of the Royal
Templar to be more temperate in his edit-
orial utterances, -especially in reference to
other journals which have for years favored
and supported the cause of temperance. An
amendment, that the matter be considered
in six months, was introduced, and after
discussion, parried. It was decided to
memorialize the Grand Council to permit
a reduction of the capitation tax, when
several of the same family "belong to the
Order. -.
The members of the Council declared
their willingness to stand by the decision
of the prohibition convention in Hontreal,
namely, to support candidates for political
honors regardless of fealty to party.
Mr Penhale, of Exeter, was elented re-
presentative to the Grand Council, to be
held at Woodstock on the 19th, 20th and
21st inet.
The hearty thanks of the Council were
tendered the friends of Holmesville, for
their cordial reception and kind hospitality
to the visiting delegates. '
The Select Councillor of Holmesville
Council replied in a few words, and said it
was a pleasure to have the meeting there,
and hoped all were made welcome.
The aforesaid officers were then installed
into their respective positions.
The next district convention will be held
at Centralia, between the lst and 20th of
Jane next.

In 1878 the ordinary expenditure of the
Dominion Could have been paid for with
about 20,000,000 bushels of wheat; the ex-
penditure in 1894 could not be paid for
with 60,000,000 bushels. Think of it!
Why, Ontario's whole product of wheat in
1893 was only 21,731,311 bushels! Is it
any wonder our people are kept poor? Our
public debt interest itself is now over $10.-
000,000.—Hamilton Times.
An adjournment has been made in the
South Perth Provincial eleotion' case till

bronght out was the connection of Mr Mo -
Neill, the member petitioned against, with

McNeill again and again solemnly denied
that he belonged to it, and on this ground
be received many votes that would other-
wise have gone to Mr Ballantyne, the Lib-
eral candidate. • Now it is proved 'and a'd-
witted that lir McNeill was all the tints
member of this ran* organisation.
