The militia cost $1,500,000, and, according to rurmer has in the past stood idly by and permitted it without protest, but at last they had aroused from their lethargy and come to the conclusion that the time for action had arrived. In the past the far- mer had worked for politics, not for self, but now the political feelings must be put aside. The doctors and lawyers had com- bined for mutual protection and the ad- vancement of their own interests and in the Patrons the farmers had done the same. In the p18!) the farmers had not acted in the interests of their sons and daughters, who should occupy the highest positions in the land, but by joining the Patrons and living up to the principles of the order our sons and daughteas will rapidly rise to the plane. Where they should have been long ago. It was said by some that the farmers should not inter- fere in politics. If such was intended, what were they given the ballot for ? The Patrons thought the government. should be run at less expense. They advocated the abolition of the senate, ; which was composed of old fcgies and broken down politicians, who cost $150.- ‘ nnn A FROM THE FAR EAST. Mr. J. L. Wilson, of (llengarry, a grand trustee and well known as an extensive breeder of Ayrshire cattle and Southdown sheep was next on the list. Mr. Wilson is a fluent very rapid speaker. He is plain and at times grows quite eloquent. He opened by apologizing for the absence of Mr. John Hope, of Bow Park farm, who was billed to appear, but who was suddenly taken ill at Toronto, and could not be present. The speaker, in response to a telegram, had agreed to take his place and to do so he had travelled upwards of i .300 miles to meet the farmers of Victoria. He said that he was one of the five trus- tees of the order and described himself as a plain practical farmer who had all his interests centered in agriculture. The farmers are all aware, he said, of the great combines that are springing up on all sides. The doctors, the lawyers, the lumbermen and the manufacturers are all look- ing: .zfter No. one, while the farmers have been quietly resting on their oars. The farmers for too long a period have been led astray by oily tongued political ‘ sharks. These latter have gone to the 4 east and the west working for party and « fall heirs to all the fat offices, while the ‘ farmer has in the past stood idly by and l permitted it without protest, but at last I Mr. John Cruess encouraged thefarmers to stick together as in union there is strength. lie always took that ground, tirsc in the grange and now in the Patrons’ which he regarded as a far superior organi- zation and one far better titted for the farmers of the country. Previous to the fornmtion of the Patrons, the farmers were bound down hand and foot by the millionaire manufacturers, but now the bonds were being slowly and surely un» loosened. He referred to the manner in ‘ which the Patrons had compelled the salt well owners to come down in price, even after the grange had failed to do it, al- though they had sunk a lot of money in a. well. In conclusion he paid a tribute to the officers of the Patrons a 1d asked all to do whatever lay in their power to help along the good cause. legislation. At the Turn] there was sufficient material basis of a good government, confident that the day was m when farmers would become the land. The chairman opened the meeting With a few appreciative remarks. THE HALL STARTED. Mr. Dennis Scully of Downeyville. was the first speaker. He said that he derived much benefit from the very first meeting of the Patrons that he ever attended. The principles of the order are Sound and if properly carried out the) will be pro (luetive of much good. He represented the County of Victoria at the recent‘ meeting of the Patrons at Toronto, and be regarded that as the most important act of his life. He regarded the meeting as a second parliament. a parliament to advance the interests of all farmers and laborers. The sun has risen and the day has dawned on a political change: at present all are followingone side or the other, but if the farmers all stuck together and voted together they could compel the government In giVe them much npwlml THE PRINCIPLES AND AIMS OF THE ORDER EXPOUNDED AT CONSIDERABLE LENGTH BY BOTH sPEAKERsâ€"THE BINDER TWINE AND AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT FACTORIES OF THE PATRONS BoOMEbâ€" THE FARMERS OF VICTORIA ARE WAK- ING UP AND TAKE QUITE AN AMOUNT OF sTOCK.

To join the Patrons e of Industry costs but 80 cents a year, and ,b the benefits are innumerable. Many said i. the present order would go the same as the n grange did, but it would not if the farmers - only stuck together. They must brace up, 3 unite, discuss mattersintelligently, under- . stand the great questions of the day, keep l e away from the corner grocery and leave small things alone. They should look after the combines and the monopolist, and pay no attention to the pound of sugar and the pint of coal oil. It was this dickering in such small things that made the farmer lack the sympathy of the people in the county towns. They must . get to their lodge rooms often, members of other orders who did not do so were regarded as bad members. Don’t try to get there. Do it. Take your families that all may hear and learn. The cities and towns furnish the greater number of men for oflices and positions, but the country furnishes the ability. He in- stanced Abe Lincoln, A. S. Hardy and Wm. Patterson as farmers’ sons who had attained high positions in life. Can- solidation and concentration are signs of the times and the farmer must consdidate or run along in the same old rut.~ More system is required on the farm. This generation are toiling too much and not reaping enough. Great indifference is shown. Now is the time and now is the hour to strike at the monopolists, and this can be done by consolidating. The implement men say they want but three years more and then they don’t care what the farmers do. The best farmers in the world are in Canada, and they are the most hospitable and generous too, {acts taken advantage of by the swarm of i: implement agents.

He is not an orator, but he can talk and he has a telling way of putting his facts that catches the average agriculturist. He is a wealthy capitalist and farms extensively. He is the head of the binder twine factory and has considerable money in it. During his speech he told numerous stories that were nearly all aged. He started out by advis- ingr every farmer to subscribe for and read the newspapers, as he regarded them as the greatest educators of the day.

He did not» give anything to found an agricultural college. But, it must he re- membered that in Toronto, there is a wavering vote, while the farmer votes straight everv time. The time and theme call for action. We want good citizen-i ship, not partizanship. He asked them to see to it that in the coming elections good ’ farmers were brought out. They should not let partisans obscure their views with political varnish. They should not let} Jealousy interfere, but should select and i stand by the strongest men.
