Mr. Lewis congratulated Dr. Ed wards upon his' statement concerning annexation. He was glad be did not agree with Mr. Borden on the for a few days ago the latter had talk- ed annexation right from the drop of the hat at Brockville. Evidently the auvnexation talk was not popular im Frontenac. Referring to the price of hogs, Lewis said that farmers realized about 71 cents, 'while bacon sold at 21 to 22 cents g pound.

To reply, Dr. Edwards acknowledged ealling the attention of the House of Commons to the fact that thete was too great a differ@i®e in the duties on 'farm produce, which was a disadvant- age to the Canadian farmers.
