the farmers are the great taxpayers, and
protection hits them hard, increasing
the cost of the articles they purchase,
and giving no increases in what they
have to sell. Sir Richard warned the
people to be prepared for any change
that might occur in the times, to lay up
in prosperity for the want of adversity.
At the same time he predicted that in
ten years, as things now went, the vol-
ume of trade will have swelled from
$400,000,000 to $1,400,000,000; the reven-
ue from $60,000,000 to $160,000,000; the
surplus from $15,000,000 to $30,000,000.
"It is," said he, "well within the the
possibilities; it is a thing°that has been
done again,and again in the country to
the south of us."

Spraying. Trees.
There is a law regulating the spraying
of trees,which is not generally observed,
viz: That no spraying of trees is to be
done until the blossom is gone. The too
early spraying of trees is the cause of
great mortality among bees, and we feel
sure that all that is necessary is to have
attention called to the matter and the
thoughtless or ignorant will do their
spraying at the proper time.

A Drain Award Case.
Judge Klein of Walkerton held Divis-
ion Court in the town hall here on Thurs-
day of last week. The first case entered
was by Mr. Dawson against the Town-
ship of Culross over a drain. , Mr. D.
Holmes of Wingham appeared for Mr.
Dawson and won the case, the award
being thrown out. This case held con-
siderable interest for the farmers in the
south-western part of the township who
were present in large numbers. -Tees -
water News.
Sir Richard Cartwright emphasized a
few parts in his budget address. He is
still the keen fivancial critic, the one
who punctures many a fallacious argu-
ittent with his incisive speech. The dif-
ference between a' revenue and protec-
tive tariff is thus explained. The one
added to the treasury of the country and
enabled the government to carry on
1. necessary public works, and the other
added coffers to the manufaoturers and
,I swelled their dividends. Which would
{ the average elector prefer? The oppo-
sition's contention, that the debt of the
country had been enormously increased
per capita, was erroneous, because
it was
figured on a population of nearly a milli-
on less than it actually was. Protection,
S` )Richard pointed out, would not
make the people rich. They had one
experience with it, under Conservative
rule, and it was most disheartening.
One experiment was enough. Moreover

Live Stock Markets.
Toronto, May 5 -There was a fair run
of cattle at the market this morning,but
business is still checked so far as the ex-
port trade is concerned, owing to the
continuance of the strike among 'the
'longshoremen at Montreal.
"We cannot move our cattle yet. As
soon as the strike is settled there will be
a movement of cattle east and the
prospects are that there will be a pretty
good demand for export cattle," said a
prominent buyer.
There was a pretty active butchers'
market, and prices were, if anything, a
little higher than last week for choice
pinked butchers' cattle. Iso several cases
$4.75 was paid for picked cattle.. All
the local wholesale seem to bp wanting
cattle and there was very little left un-
sold. A few rough, heavy cattle were
not wanted, but generally the market
was pretty well cleaned up. Loads of
good butchers' cattle sold at $4.25 to
$4.40; choice lots, $4.50 to $4.60; picked,
extra choice, not too heavy, at $4.75;
rough, heavy cattle were slow at $3 to
$3.50.
There is a fair demand for light stock-
ers at steady prices,$3.50 to $3.75, Short
keep feeders,about 1,200 pounds at $4.66.
There is a fair demand for milch
and prices to -day were firm.
Good veal calves are wanted.
There was a light run ot sheep and
lambs and everything was sold out early.
Prospects are good for grain -fed ewes
and lambs.
Hogs have taken a drop, and were
quoted to -day 15e to 20c lower. Best
selects were $6.25 and lights and fats $6,
The total run for the day was 74 cars
with 1,t69 head of cattle, 222 sheep and
iambs, 907 hogs and 175 calves.

Corner Stone Laying.
The weather on Sunday last was very
disagreeable for the ceremony in connec-
tion with the laying of the corner stone
of the new Catholic church at St. Augus-
tine, bat notwithstanding the unfavor-
able weather there was a large attet,d-
ance. The corner stone was laid by Rt.
Rev. F. P. McEvoy, D. D., Bishop of
London, Rev. D. P. McMenamin, of
Lncan preached a sermon appropriate to
the occasion. Addresses were delivered
by Revile. Fathers West, of Goderich,
and McCorinich, of Clinton. The whole
service was very successful and many
large donations to the building fund
were received. Mr. S. S. Cooper,
of Clinton, the contractor, presented the
Bishop with a very handsome silver
trowel. Rev. Fr. Hanlon, the pastor of
the church is to be congratulated on the
success of this service. A number of
Winghamites were in, attendance.
