BYE-ELECTION JN WEST HURON.
Tororo papers tohand this morning coatain extended reports of the speeca of Sir Charlee Tupper at Clinton, Vatario, ov tehalf of the Conservative candidate for West Huron, Mr. McLean, All agree that the speech was a capital ove. One of the reports says:
“The address: ae the first of a political complexion which the Conservative leader has delivered in Ontario since the general election in 3896. The chieftain was in eplendid form, and his deliverance, which comprehensively surveyed the whole field of national potitice, was dignified aud statesmanlike in tone, convincing in argu- ment,and trenehantin eritici#m, saga- cious in its insight into and treaiment of public affairs. ‘The audience genersliy were delighted beyond measure with Sir Charles’ speech, while the Conservatives noted with great satisfaction that the hero of a hundred fights still displays the same dauntiess bearing, the same elasticity of temperament, and the same vigor of epeech as when in the old campaign days he swept through the country carrying into the Libera] ranks.
The following is quoted from a despatch to one ot the metropolitan Liberal papers of Canada:
‘ The Opposition leader was in good veice, and his speech was deliverel with a fire and vigor which frequintly drew forth
5 1 J applause. Hedid not go into any finau-
| cial cr other details, confining himself to
what might be termed a political review
lof Canada since confederation. He de- fended the National Policy, which, he said, was inaugurated by the Conservative party, had made Cavada a nation, and was to-day the policy of the Liberal perty. Thelatter, he said, had been compelled to steal the National Policy in spite of the previous denunciations of it, because they were afraid that any other policy would proye Canada’s ruin. He challenged the Liberal party to point to any single thing they haddonein the work of makiag Canada a nation. He charged the goveroment with having greatly ins creased the expenditures and with having added enormously to the national debt without giving anything in return. He also charged them with having sdopted many of the ideas of their predecessors, in orderto gainand retain public favor. He characterized Mr. Mulock’s postage stamp motto as a most absurd atatement to put on a Canadiau postage siamp, & statement that would never have been thought out except in the mind of a most silly man.”
The Conservatives hepe and the Liber als fear that the people cf West Huron will elect the Conservative candidate. But as Mr. Tarte is personal'y in the ridiog using his peculiar “influences” and hie “human devices,” a Conservative victory
in the constituency of the late M. C. Cameron will be wonderful and signifi- cent.

CANADIAN BACON.
Mr. Lathrop, the American Consul “at Bristol, Eogland, has for some time been giving special attention to the British market for bacon, aod has been putting the resulte of his study atthe service of the hog -raisers aad packers of his own country with a view to their greater pro ‘it. He points out that, at present, of the 5,000, 000 cwts, imported by the United King- dom, the United States supplies 3,500,- 000 ewts., the rest being fursished by Den~ mark and Canada. But though the two latter countries contribute the smaller proportion they get much the higher price, the Davish and Canadian bacon be- ing worth from $4to $7 more per cwt., than the American. This difference against the American product is due to ite inferiority in quality. Canada gets $15 for its bacon, while the United States gets $8 to $9 for its coarser meat. The fine, lean, sweetly cured bacon is preferred py all classes of consumers, except possib- ly those engaged iv the lamber woods, to
dismay
the fat stull raised acroes the line. In lean ness, cut,aod flovor our bacon has a |} marked advantage over tLe American. Mr. Lathrop has tried to persuade the
| growers in sume parts of the United States
He doubts if it would pay farmers or packers in the great coru belt to aimat such high grades, but be sees no rea-on why Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York aud New England should not be abletodoso. He considers that the $6 or $7 higher price would pay them to feed peas. In the cora-growing
Srates it is certainly more profitable to fatten the hogs on the cheaper grain, and tuke the lower prices for the greater weight Atallevents, Western packers say thet cannot induce the farmers tu produce lean carcasses. A special report on swine recently issusd by the Kansas Department of Agriculiure expresses the opision that the. production of lean hogs would not pay in that estate, one reason given being that the British demand for Jean bacon is too limited. It seems, therefore, as the Mail aod Empire remarks, as if the grea mass of pork-raisers on the other side o! the line would have to keep to their gross product. That is not unsatisfactory to us
The Kaneas people may pretend that it is a matter of choice whether they shall procure heavy or light bacon, and that their supply of the former is mergly ia re- sponse to the demand. The truth is, the conditions of production in their state leave them co option. They feed corn because they grow it abundantly, want to market as much of it as possible in the form of pork, and because they have nothing else to feed. Their pork is therefore fat and coarse-grained. As for the limitations of the demand for the finer article, they are
