FRIDAY, NOV. 23, 1888.
--
Clinton. is the Best Market.
Although we quoted figures from our
local exchanges for two weeks, showing
the supirierty of Clinton as a market
for grain, the Seaforth Sun of last week,
is the only paper that challenged our
statement. We make quotations there.
from as follows :-
"The Clinton Nsw ERA of last week
contained an article written ostensibly
to contrast the prices paid by the wheat
buyers at Seeforth and Clinton,"
• There was no 'ostensibly" about it at
all. It was an aotual comparison of the
prices quoted in the respective places no
the date mentioned.
"The New Elle n man deliberately
b ate1
Y
falsifies the record both in
truth and
action. He takes the market reports of
the Sun of the 2nd of November and
contrasts them with the prioes supposed
to be paid by the Clinton dealers a few
days afterwards when wheat was steadi-
ly advancing in price."
The NEW ERA die] not falsify the re-
cord by doing as alleged, nor in any
other way. Wo simply quoted Minton
markets 0f Nov. 2nd. side by aide with
:hose of Soaforth, taking our figures
from the papers published in each town,
and all the other places mentioned, for
that date, and proved thereby that
wheat was from two to five cents a
bushel higher here th an in any of the
other places named.
"At the time the NEW E3tA's pseudo
Stanley farmer was selling his grain in
Clinton at $1.21 (?) the Messrs Ogilvie
& Co., of the Big Mills, Seaforth, were
paying $1.23 for A 1 wheat. The NE,!
EsA will have to furnish the public
with the name of the Stanley 'farmer or
stand convicted of dealing in whoppers.
The NEw pnA's Stanley farmer was
by no means mythical, and we have no
objection whatever to giving his name
if that would serve any purpose, but
we fail to see that it Would. His post
orrice address is Hills Green. Ogilvie
& Co. were not paying $1.23 for wheat
the day that farmer got $1.21 in Clin-
ton. The highest they paid that day
was $1.18, ani their own warehouse re-
ceipts wil] prove it.
There's too much imag ination about
the Sun's statements for any confid.
'ence whatever to be placed in thein.
Our figures were simply irreidtable. •

Churelh Exemption.
In his Thanksgiving sermon, Rev. Mr
Ilerridge, of St. Andrew's Ottawa, refer-
ring to the agitation in favor of taxing
church property, contended that the
church was fully entitled to the exemp-
tion by reason of her work in enobling
and purifying the whole national life.
Rey, Father Whelan, of St. Patrick's
church Ottawa, delivered a serman ou
Sunday morning against the abolition
of exemptiong from taxation. Ile con-
tended that if religious and charitable in-
stitutions had to pay taxes the' State
would have to support them.
The paragraphs quoted above appear-
ed in the daily papers of Monday.
They show that this question is becom-
ing a live one, otherwise ninistorswould
-not express their opinion upon it. In
conversation with misisters on this sub-
ject, the only argument which they
could advance was the plausible but
illogical one advanced by Mr Herridge,
the he parat,raph above quoted. New,
ive will admit, for argument's sake,that
• what he says is true, and because of the
ennobling influence of the churoh it
should be exempt 'from taxation, On
the same ground, every private indiv-iol.
gal who does. what he can to ennoble
humanity, should be likewise favored,
Nearly all the newspapersof the land
areworking for the same object. Should
they not also enjoy, exemption.
There is not a logical reason why
churches should not pay taxes the same
as every other organization. We are
not surprised that the Roman Catholic
clergy are opposed to taxation, because
they hold so much property, particular.
ly in the cities, that is untaxed, and
they are really the power behind the
throne that prevents legislation being
enacted on this question.
That public opinion is being awak-
ened to the injustice of the present
system is shown by the following item
from the London Free Press, of Dion.
day :-
"Church exemption is one of the
matters which will yet have to bo test-
ed at the bar of public opinion. In
many a city that class of exemption
weighs heavily on the general taxpayer,
who already feels that his contributions
towards "education" are not a little se-
vere."
The time is coming 'when public opin-
ion will demand a change, and it will
ask in a voice that will be heard.
John Bright is nearing the and Of
his useful career, and the probabilities
are that ore long he will"orose the <lat•k
river." He has a warm place in the
affections of his countrymen, and his
loss would cause national regret and
sorrow.
A Winnipeg paper charges that the
Dominion Government and the C. P. R,
are behind the persecution of the Mani-
toba ministers. They have done more
unlikely things.

the "Chinese Iiixolusion Act" and Atte
have received, the following protest
concerning our remarks from a reader
in California: -
Oakland, Cal., Nee. 1,1, 1888.
DEAR SIR.—When I readyour.editoral
on- "Chinese Exclusion" I was rough
surprised, as you cannot know what
you are writing about, without being
among them to see what an injury they
are to a place. Talk about their mor-
ality, there is a society in San Francisco
that try to get them to go to church,
but they say it is impossible to change
their ways. There is not one in a thou-
sand that go to any other church than..
their own. I don't think there has
been any objections raised to those who
out off their ques and live as the citizens
do. There has never been known a
Chinaman who ever would go out on
the Praries or hardly any. other place
from a pity or town. I know a man
that offered a Chinaman $50 a month
and go as cook for him on his ranch,
but John refused, saying there was uo
company there. All the Chinese mer-
chants and studentsare allowed to come
in the same as they ever were. Dr.
O'Donnell, who is running for Mayor
in ban Francisco, started out a few
days ago through the east with two
Chinese leppers in a cage, to show the
real state of them in that city. Their
alleged immorality is a fact and not
only alleged. During the winter there
are about 15000 working men out of
work in the city because they cannot .
work and live as cheap as a Chinaman.
Everything they eat and wear is im-
po_ ted from China, so what benefit are
they to this country. It is not a fair
thing to import foreigners to drive the
citizens ohs, which it would certainly be
doing
allow them
to come e in.
I
think itou
w ld be worth your while to
write to some minister in San Fran-
cisco, Victoria, Vancouver and every
other place where there is a large num-
ber of Chinamen, and find out what
benefit they are to the country. You
would be more than surprised if you
were to go through China Town in the
city, and I am positive it would change
your opinions concerning them. Hope-
ing you will get some more information
some place else and you will surely see
your mistake.
Yours &Cc.,
\Vo will admit that what our critic
says about the immorality of the
Chinese is all true. But that does not
touch the point at issue. Is not licenti-
ousness a Licensed evil in one of the
British possessions, so that if the
Chinese are to be excluded because of
their sins in this respect, what must be
said of a nation that is supposed to
know better.
The charge that they do not go to
church, goee for nothing ; as one half
the more,eiviieed world, is open to the
siipae charge. .Tile chief objection
egkinst the Chinese is that they work
for less than most other people and live
more economiucally, Now if it is right
to exclude them for this reason, why
not also the African, who, as everybody
knows, lives on a great deal less than
most white people do. And why not
apply the same line of reasoning to any
other nationality, the laborers of which
work for less than what might be called
standard w ages, People who enjoy the
comforts of civilization forget that the
world is richer because of the cheapness
of labor. And it is absurd to think
that wages can be kept higher by arti-
ficial means. The Chinese may bo as
bad as it is possible for them to be, but
even then it is unjust to discriminate
against them, when those of other
nationalities, with no greater virtues'
are placed on a different platform.
It is daily beemne more evident that
Cleveland's defeat was for a similar
B
season to meet of Mr Mackenzie, in
1878. Neither were willing to sacrifice B
principle for policy. They both stood t
by what they believed to be right, and
were satisfied to be right rather than h
remain in office at the sacrifice of this
principle.

Joseph Stubbs, 5th line, Morris, had
a lot of apples stored in a vacant house
on his farm, last week, awaiting the

As there were a number of Mr Stubbs'

destroy the apples and gorge themselves.

A. young man of Toronto was in-
stantly killed on Thanksgiving Day, by
the accidental discharge of a gun in the
hands of a companion. The word "ac-

Some people who do not stop to think,
will conclude that an accident is always
such and cannot be avoided,. but this is
not true. A great many aboidente are
but the culmination ofa life of careless.
ness, and we feel like saying that the
one who causes another's death through
"accident" is more than morally crim-
inal. "I didn't mean to," is no valid
excuse, and people should be taught
that the little acts of neglect, lack of
caution and forethought which crop up
in the every day duties of life, will
sooner or later lead to dire results, and
possibly being sorrow and suffering in
there train.

that bis sentence is too light. But
when it is learned that at the expirat-

for two years more at the instance of

stealing, such an idea will be dispelled.

have a field for this, and a field for
that, so that the whole farm has to be

keep the cattle out. What's that you
say ?-they don't fence much on the
prairie. Its a fact they don't. I
never thought of that. Well, perhaps
the time will come when we won't
