Don't Want Our Eggs.

The protection comedy Is becoming highly amusing. Last year McKinley put a duty of 5 cents a dozen on eggs—a duty aimed mainly at the pauper-laid eggs of Cnnada; and now it is announced that Canadian farmers want a duty on American eggs. During tho fiscal year ending Juno 30, 18U(', Canada imported 659,051 dozen of eggs, valued at #91,773. Of those oggs tho United Statos supplied 625,166 dozen, valued at ji89,444. It would add greatly to the mirth of the melancholy to get the Canadian Armers to give their reasons for wanting a duty on onr eggs, get similar ‘reasons’ from McKinley for his 5-cent duty on Canada's eggs, and then print these side by sido.
