TWINE SPEBC' . Mr. Fsirbsirn’s speech on the binder twine question, the official report of which was printed in THE POST lsst week. has no doubt been read with great interest by the electors of this county, end especially by the farmers. Mr. Wm. Eyres has handled Mr. Feirhsirn so neatly and effectively that we need not dwell upon that portion of the speech. Mr. Fsirbairn seems to labor under the impression that he alone knows whet is beneficial to the farmer and what the interests of the fermer require ; and most entertaining and refreshing is the way in which he took to tssk Mr. Mulock, Mr. McMullen and Mr. Robt Watsonâ€"all aqua: Paid up, @112 (Emahian fast. practical and successful farmersâ€"for daring to maintain that free binder twine would benefit the fermere. Mr. reit- heirn resorted to the rather old and thin device of taking the prices of binder twine in the States during the past five years, and endeavoring to prove by striking an average that the prices of twineare lower in Canada than in the United States. Mr. Fairbairn favored the_ house with a series of price- quotations from a number of letters he had received from parties on the other side. In these letters are two had “give- aways.” One letter is addreued to Hon. J. F. Stairs, the senator-president of the Canadian cordage combine, and the other is apparently addressed to the same indivi- dual, as it quotes “mixed twine, your make.” That must mean Mr. Stairs, as Mr. Fairbairn is not known as a manufac- turer of twine. It would seem, then, that Combinuter Stairs gathered a lot of figures to show that the binder twine duty was not injurious to the farmers of Out- arioandthengot Mr.Fairbairn to pose asa representative farmer and plead the combine’s cause in the house. We leave toexperts and to farmers the task of challenging the accuracy of Mr. Fair- hairn's figures. The general impression, based on information from many sources believed to be accurate, has been that farmers here paid about 3c. per. lb. more for binder twine than farmers in the per-0nd knowledge say: he paid about three cent: 'more have for the same qnahty. twine question a a. petty issueâ€"of no comequonco to the fut-mer- of thoconntry.

The contest at Minneapolis between Blaine and Harrison was short but not sweet. Itwasexceedingly bitter. Blaine’s sudden resignation was accepted as an indication that he was willing to accept a nomination though he had declared some months ago that his name should not go before the convention. The Blaine forces gave the nomination to Harrison four years ago; and probably Blaine felt that the compliment should now be returned. But it was not; and half a dozen “bosses” as they are termed, or political leaders, who were dissatisfied with Harrison’s use of patronage, determined to secure the nomination for “the man from Maine." These memâ€"Clarkson of Iowa, Platt of New York, Quay of Pennsylvania, Dudley of Indiana and some others. were most active workers for Harrison in the last presidential contest. but now they are his bitter opponents, and it is doubtful if they can be induced to manifest any particular zeal in the campaign that will shortly open. Their support of Blaine did not prevent Harrison’s nomination. The President proved far stronger than was expected.

The Blaine forces no doubt divided on McKinley with the hope of drawing support from Harrison that would prove fatal to the latter, but they miscalculated, and Blaine now becomes “a back number. " Blaine was the author of the reciprocity clause in the McKinley bill, and if nominated he would prohebly have tried to evade or get round the high protec- tion issue and claim especial credit for his efl'orts to secure on extension of trede.
