AI reed this morning in onset your most in. fine-tied journals an appeal finish was ad‘ dressed to me personally, and in which it was said that I and declared that'the interv eats 0!: Canada must be subordinated to those of Manchester.

I speak to-nl ht under consider- iii. difficulty. I congfess that at first I hesitnted to accept your hospitable invita- tion, because I was air-aid it would not be possible for me to make an adequate response to your kindness. Since the commission I have undertaken imposes restrictions upon me which I am bound faithfully to observe, I am not free to discuss some of those ques- tions which have probably the greatest in- terests for all of us. I am sure you will make every necessary allowance, and will not expect from: me any premeture disclosure of confidential negotations, or a full discussion of matters of controversial felioy. (ApplaufieJ Although I am afraid canuot promise you the communication of any State secret. yet there are some general considerations‘which effect important mat. ten, and which I propose, with your permis- sion, to lay before you. (Applause) In the first place, as to the spirit in which a commission of this kind should be under taken. As I passed through England and the United States, and again when I crossed the boundary of the Dominion, there was one idea impressin itself upon my mind at every step, indelib y written upon the face oi, two vast countries, and that was the these and importance of the distinction or the Anglo-Saxon race -â€" (cheers) --â€" that proud, persistent, self-asserting and resolute stock which no change of climate or condi- tion can alter, and which is rnfailibly bound to be the predominant force in .the future history and civilization of the World. ((lleers.) It is said that patriotism begins st home. I am an Englishman. (Applause) I a. proud of the Oi Country from which I come.

Another general observation I will venture to make,and it is one in which I anticipate general assent. Anything which can increase and develop commercial rela~ tions between the two countries is not only a good thing in itself but it tends to bring about this good feeling which I desire. (Here, here.) It appears to me that the respects of improved relations with the sited Staten never looked more hopefulâ€" (applause)-and I think these will come, independent of bargain or negotiations. What is sing in the United States at this moment eads me to believe that circum~ stances at nodistant date will force the Government of that country to remodel its tarifi' in a more liberal spirit. Whatever party is in power, in my opinion. it is cer- tain that ina few fears the tariff will be diminished or altered so that it will cocase to be a wall of commercial exclusion be. twaen the United States and the rest of the nations of the world. (Applause) If this change comes about, as I predictâ€"although I know how dangerous it is to attempt to prophecyâ€"what influence will it have upon your tariff on this side of the line? It is quite true that you are not burdenedâ€"and not likely to be at an early dateâ€"by a sur- ‘ plus of 120 millionsâ€"(laughter)-â€"but I trust 3 it is only the United States which is likely to suffer from this plethorio condition. (laughter). There are other considerations which ma not tend in a similar direction. What is t s most urgent need of Canada at this moment! It is the development, the early and practical development of the illimitable resources of your country, which ‘ has just been openedup by your magnificent ‘ railway. You want to get upon the land at ‘ the earliest possibleltime an industrious and ' active pepulation, who will WORK YOUR MINE ALB HRLDS. A tariii‘ unnecessarily highâ€"understand, I do not presume to offer any opinion upon your tarifiâ€"(laughter)â€"-I merely make the general observation ; I do not say whether your tariff is or is not unnecessarily high, that depends upon how you feel itâ€" (laughter and applause)-â€"but I say that a tariff which is unnecessaril high must have a tendency to shackle precisely the agricultural industry you wish to foster, and divert from it labour which Will go into other industries stimulat~ ed by its operation. I am ready to sympa thine with the inheritors of anew country in their reproduction oi any idea that their country shall be one in which their industries shall be monotonously confined to a single occupation. I see the need for various pursuits and occupations, but in the case of Canada any anxiet on this score is surely premature. The rat object is to get the population to own the land. \Vhen you have multiplied the industrious producers, ; you will find you have secured a vast popu- iation oi consumers, and that a variety of industries will spring up and prosper . whether therebe any tarifi'or not. (Applause. ) Gentlemen, you will see from whati have ventured to say thit I am in favour of the widest possible Commercial Unionâ€"(hear, hear)-â€"and intercourse, not only with the United States but with all the world. (Cheers) That is the true, unrestricted reciprocity. (Hear, hear.) it is a very restricted reciprocity, indeed, which would make you dependent for your financial free- dom upon the government of another state, and,perhaps, pave the way for the surrender of something which is still more important â€"-Imeen your political freedom. (Cheers Some people. it appears, who have adop a well-known saying of Mark Twain, appear to think that as upon this continent the lion must lie down with the lamb. it would be better if the lamb consented at once to lie down inside the lion.

The average yield of sugar per acre was about 1,500 pounds and of syrup l80 gallons. It j is claimed that at this rate, even at the pre- ‘ sent low price of sugar, the business of mak- irti) sucar, from sorghum will be very profit a e. A ood way of winterin cab e is to 1 pull ft up b the roots on as dry 3:: wrap \ up the outsi 0 leaves carefull and snugly ‘ around the heads and place em in a row, roots :5». Then cover with soil ll htly at ; first, ding more as the season vauces. In order to secure free aeoem to the supply 1 in mldwinter, the ‘rldges may be protected from freezing solid by some litter being thrown over t. A writer in the Himr says that steamed or burned bones are easily pounded, and it old bones, or those that contain decayed animal matter, are to be used, put them in hot lye for a few hours, which will clean them. The best mode is to burn them if there is not too much flesh on them. They will pound or grind easily when hot. All kinds of bones are excellent for poultry, and should be put to service. The value of barley meal as a feed for hogs is not appreciated. Trials at the Wis. cousin experiment station show that 69 pounds of uncooked barley meal were re quired to produce 100 pounds of pork, live weight. while of corn meal 463 pounds we: e required, of corn meal and shorts, half and half, 574 pounds. and of whole corn and ‘ shorts half and half, 484 pounds were re- ‘ quired. This is not a very striking showing in favor of barley meal, but it demonstrates most conclusively that pork can be profit- ably produced on barley in Nothern regions where corn cannot begrown at aproiit. Aecording to a Wgetern authority, the freezing foint, even up to 40 deg. Flinn, is too low or miloh cows standing quietly in their stalls, for the beat milk production. A range from 45 dogs. to 60 dege. give: about lhe right average and in wide enough. Experiments prove that at a. lower tempere- tnre they begin to ehiver and at a higher they begin to pout in winter. They endure a much higher temperature in summer when they turn out most milk. Doubtleu they would stand much more heat in winter if need to it, but with the ordinary ventilation afdetuhlee it is doubtful if it would be health- While experienced poultry breeders prnc~ tioe warming the food given to fowle durirg the Winter. few farmers or novices seem so appreciate its benefit. Many feneiere warm all the food, whether mixed, or erected. (1' fed whole. In feeding the whole corn, warm it thoroughly in_ the oven, ‘ne‘uly‘ perching it, (says gne'euthorityfi and then let it cool of!" sufficiently to admit the fowls eating it without discomfort. The cooked food which is fed from time to time, should be given warm, and, when necessary. warmed over again on feeding. It is surprising what a difference warm food will make in the sup- ply of eggs during the continuance of cold weather. and especially so if the fowls are sheltered and properly cared for otherwise.

If this is true it is due to their education. Women are taught to conceal and men to reveal their true natures from the cradle up. Women are taught that the world expect. them to be statues of decorum, and thut it is merciless to the one who by word, utmos. ghere, or set indicates that she could stop own from her pedestal. Mn is taught that he is a human being of varied passion, liable to fall into error. which the world quickli forgets end (or- gives, He tells the trnt about his autumn and his temptations, and the world listens, sympathise: and admires. ‘ Wroe unto the woman who. no matter how free from sin, confesses to her best friend- thet she has ever in thought, even. been etirred from her role of absolute decorum. She is forever more branded “doubtful.” Consequently she hides from‘ the world and, if necessary, lies to conceal her reel human self from detection. I have head the objection ofi‘ered that if we nll speak absolute truth we must speak ill of many people. - I do not believe it. There in no human hein so dept-awed that good cannot be spoken 0 him. It. would be an interest- ing experience if we should all experiment for an entire month in finding the excellent quality to mention in each person we meet. and keeping silence concerning his or her 3 faults.
