have in nowise affecied the prices of the various articles which have been sent into the American market from Canada. I have here the prices of various farm pro- ducts for the 22 years from 1354 to 1876, during 11 of which years reciprocity pre-

vailed, and during the other 11 our product

dians received on an average for the horses they sold $65.27; in 1855, $74.26; in 1856, $77.05; in 1857, $7609; in 1858, $79.07; in 1859, $8477; in 1860, $81.97; in 1861,

$81.40; in 1862, $77.15; in 1863, $75.79; in 1864, $78.46; in 1865, $79.61. These were the years dur- ing which reeiprocity was in force

In 1866 we received for horses on an aver- ave per tfead the sum of $92.79; in 1867, $78.68; in 1868, $82.14; in 1869, $82.97; in 1879, $87.97; im 1871, $93.96; in 1872, $101.38; in 1873, $105.01; in 1874, $107.44; in 1875, $104 62; in 1876, $102.89. Now if the twenty per cent. duty on horses had been paid by the Canadian farmer he would have received smaller prices during the years protection was in force than he did receive in the 11 years of reciprocity. But the fact was he received higher prices. In regard to the prices of horned cattle, we received in 1854 atv average of $23.83, 1855, $23.28; 1856, $24.29; 1857, $26.11; 1858, $22.24; 1859, $26.56; 1860, $27.70; 1861, $24.50; 1862, $20.31; 1863, $23.50; 1864, $30.70... "These were during the years of reciprocity. Afterwards under protection we received for horned cattle im 1865, $29.91; 1866, $22.85; 1867, $24.86; 1868, $24.77; 1869, $21.88; 1870, $27.91; 1871, @29.62- 1872, $28.12; 1873, $25.57; 1874;

24: 1875, $21,138; 1876, $23.70; the aver- age in the later years being quite as high as when they were admitted free of duty, Who then pays this tax of 20 per cent. on cattle imported into the United States?”

The same speaker went on to give the quotations for sheep during the two periods, with the conclusion that ‘‘the average was just as high during the eleven years when duties were imposed as when sheep were ad- mitted free.” ‘The same detailed statement was given in respect to wheat and wool, and the conclusion stated in the following words : ‘I might go over the prices of barley, rye and other cereals with much the same result, thus establishing the uncontrovertible fact that the duties imposed by the American congress on the produce of Canada do not fall upon the people of Canada, but are paid by the con- sumers of these articles in the United States.”

Montague Notes.

Although there are eleven vessels lying at the wharves here, yet there is very little doing in the way ofshipping. The weather being so very unfavorable, bot digging and shipping are about at astand-still. Ship- pers are very delicate about handling pro- duce, as the provincial market does not offer much inducement, and the McKinley Bill prevents any shipment to the United States. The following are about the cur- rent prices at the wharves :—Oats, 36; potatoes 18 to 20 and turnips 16 to 17 cents per bushel. As far as ascertained, potatoes and turnips are plentiful, while the oat crop is far below the average.

A inelancholy gloom has been cast over the entire community by the unexpected death of Mr. J. M. Aitken’s eldest son, a promising young lad of about 18 years. About three weeks ago he was attacked with that’ dread disease, diphtheria, and up to last Saturday he appeared to be im- proving, and sanguine hopes were enter- tained for his immediate recovery. But alas! the disease took an unexpected turn, and, although the best medical skill was employed, yet the disease could not be checked, and to day, at noon, death, the last finishing touch on the picture of life, ended his existence. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Aitken as. well as the other members of the family, in this their sudden and sad bereavement.

STRONG TALK IN FRANCK ABOUT THB AMERICAN TARIFF,

A Paris despatch says the burning question of the hour there among politicians is the necessity of taking some immediate action regarding the MeKinley tariff law. So long as the objectionable measure was merely a con- templated injustice to French trade, the gov- ernment felt justified in igaoring the earnest protests of exp 1ters, but now that the — wrong has been perpetrated a storm of indig- nation has arisen, which it is generally 7 mitted, will force the authorities to take some definite action. What this action will be ma be inferred frou the popular clamor for retali- atory measu'es—-a clamor that is daily increas. ing in vigor and is well voiced by Deputy Bardeau, who, no doubt, utters the sentiments of the vast majority of his colleagues in the chamber and of French traders generally, when he says: ‘‘ France must return war for war,” and also poiuts out that, if necessary, his

Living by Rule

Oliver Wendall Holmes thinks that he owes his good health and the retention of his mental vigor, in his eighty-first year, to the extreme care he has long taken of him- self Never robust, he was still wiry in his cartier and maturer life, but sinee he reached eighty his hygienic vigilance is un- ceasing. The rooms that he daily occupies are equipped with barometers, thermom- eters, aerometers, every kind of instru- ments, in short, tc prevent his incurring the slightest risk of taking cold. He knows that pneumonia is the most furmidable foe of old age, and he is determined to keep it at a distance if possible. He never gets up until he knows the exact temperature, dur- ing the winter, or takes his bath without without having the water accurately tested. He lives by rule, and the rule is inflexible. His time is seeupulously divided, so much allotted to reading, so much to writing, 80 much to exercise, so much to recreation. His meals are studies of prudence and di- gestion.. He understands the specific qual- ities of all ordinary foods, and he never departs from the severest discretion in eat- ing.

One might think that it would be a seri- ous infliction to keep up existence by such precise, unvarying methods. But the little doctor enjoys them, having settled firm’y in these habits years ago. Philosophic as he is about death, he has an eager curissity to see how long he can live by following the laws he has rigorously prescribed for himself. He has long had various theories on the subject of health and longevity, and he relishes experimenting upon himself. He thinks sometimes that he may attain one hundred, which he would dearly like, if he could retain, as he has retained thus far, the full possession of all his faculties. —Chicago Mail.

Suecess of Vaccinaton in Germany.

Unper the law of Germany making vac- cination compulsory and providing for re- vaccination at stated periods of life, says Sanitary Inspector, small-pox is almost com- pletely disappearing from the German em- pire. A late official report states that ia 1888 cnly 110 deaths from small-pox. oc-

number is 58 fewer thau occurred in 1887, and 87 few than in 1886. Of the 110 deaths, 88, or about four-fifths of the whole number, occurred in those parts of th em- pire immediately bordering other countries not well protected by vaccination, and in which there is constant intercourse between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated sides of the boundary. More than one-third of all the deaths occurred in the Prussian provinee of Posen. Comparing the small- pox death rate of the large cities of other countries with that of the larger cities of Germany, it was 136 times as great in the cities of Austria, 30 times as great in those of Hungary, 16 times as great in those of England, 24 times as great in those of Bel- gium, and twice as great in those of Swit- zerJand as in the German cities.

News Notes.

Ex-Secretary of War Belknap, of the United States, was found dead in his office in Washington recently.

Fifty thousand persons paraded at Dub- lin in honor of the memory of Father Mathew, the apostle of temperance.

A mutinous outbreak has occurred in the East Surry regiment, stationed on the island of Guernsey.

London claims a population of 30,706, exclusive of suburbs, an increase since 1880 of nearly 11,000,

A fine statue of Lord Dufferin, by Sir Edgar Boehm, who has produced half the famous statues in England of recent years, is shortly to be erected in Calcutta. A marble bust of Lady Dufferin is also to be placed in acharitable institution in that city of the Queen’s Indian Fmpire.

Queen Natalie is engaged in writing her memoirs, which are nearly completed. As she is only 30 years of age, her personal ex- periences do not reached very far back, and it will most likely be found that her me- moirs are less such than a work directed against King Milan, She has got the bet- ter in the contest with her husband, in so far as she is at Belgrade, and intends to re- main there.

Quite an excitement has been ‘caused at Pekin by the frequent and mysverious loss of queues by the citizens. Ono man re- ports that he was promenading 4 certain street, when suddenly a beautiful woman, by her appearance of about 30 years of age, appeared behind his back with a pair of shears, quickly snapped off his queue and vanished out of sight very mysteriously. Other cases of the same nature have been reported, and the native papers think they forebode ill to the government.
