to his dimmed_ This cep on the part of
Sir Oliver Mowat brings definitely to a head
the question which has long been floating
iadetinitehy i. the air, whether it is lawful
to advocate Political t'otoa. The q.ettios
is ssrioes, not only as one of general prin-
ciple, but 10 Ile practical expect at mtko pee -

that • few acts el judicious dsveritrhemay
suffice for the extirpation of this resy.
We are pot ourselves so informed. It is
idle to make positive sesertions when no
definite estimate can be obtained, sod
where if it maid be obtained it would not
tell us whether the .pinion was .troeg sod
deeply seated, or merely •porting wave. In

combined have of late been causing • eon-
sidenble extension of annexationist .enti•

ANOTHE8 QUESTION `tI'ED
by this affair probably will be whether per-
son bolding Aloes or commissions under
Government w at liberty to give expres-
sion t0 political opiluoae of which the Gov-
ernment does not epprore. This question
has been decided as • general rale in the af-
firmative, provided that no official iesubor-
dinaties le involved. Pitt, afterwards Lord
Chatham, was dismissed from his commie.
ni041 in the army for political o tion to
the Government ; bat the cent proved
ifaospicious, sad no Government could
think of doing such • thing now. These
an officers both of the army and navy in
the British Parliament, and on the Opposi-
tion as well as the Government side. A
memorable speech of Lord Macaulay estsb-
lisbed the right of the Master of Robss to
be elected to • seat in the sea House
where he would nsoesgarily be • political
partisan. Of comrse tow is a measure is
all things. Everyone understands the
grounds on which judges, as • gess sl rule,
are excluded from the political arena. Mr.
Myers rather has Sir Oliver Mowat on the
hip when he pointe out that the most rss-
oorous and violent partisanship in the ortho-
dox and government directions apparently
not. in :lir Oliver's opinion, i.00mpuible
with • wt on the bench ot • court before
which a political Dees may any day be
brought. But Mr. Myers was not • member
of the judiciary ; be wee • county attorney :
and then seams to be no mown of etiquette
for sealing bis Up on political questions
*kik those of the Attorney -General are un-
sealed. Violence and indeoency en the ex-
pression of political opinions, or opinions
on any subject, are proof of indiscretion,
and may on that ground be reasons for dil-
ations', bat Nothing of the kind menu to be

L. Joh•son. The quality of his e0000ai0

dently not afraid of the ecco.ation, so com-

his country. He sad :
What is trade! Trade is exchange. Ex-
change of what ! Always of the produce

b•mpered exchange. Anything that hinders
the exchange of produce, whether it be •
custom house, a toll gate or • tax upon In
dostry, is en obstacle to trade and should
be removed. Any tax on any product of
human labor Wan obstacle to ell trade every-
where. A tax upon merchandise in • ware-
house u as much an obstacle to trade as •
duty levied at • custom house. A tax upon
the warehouse is an impediment to trade.
Each deprives him who pays it of the op-
portunity to exercise to its fullest extent
hie right to exchange.
Trade is the foundation of civiliatioe.
Exchange makes progress possible. Man is

denies no roan's natural right ; it places Do
embargo on production or exchange, and is
therefore absolutely consistent with our
thought of freedom. It simply takes for
the oommsnity and leaves to the individual,
all that rightfully belongs to each.

From our own correspondent.
Miss M. Carpenter, of God.rsh town-
ship, visited our burg Saturday ot lest
week.
The past week was very gay and stirring
to everybody. First the excursion to the
Model Farm at Guelph, then the Stat•te
Labor. The aboveien at the gravel pit
are loud in their praises .f •owe red cask,
Dow • stationary object, where all bends
knelt In • devotional attitude at times with
bended head to drink of its contents to re-
vise courage to shovel on the loads of grav-
id. Then the ea -meeting and social at Lee -
bun, and Saturday wound up with the big
picnic of the United Workmen at the Point
Farm, which saw • large number from Dun-
lop in the moving multitude gathered there.
STILL IN Tug Wong. -Many readers of
Txg Suis i. will be pleased to learn that
Professor H. r. Morgan and his daughter,
Fury, are receiving • list ot engagemots
from the Royal Templar. in New Brunswick.
The Daily Gle.aer, of Fredericton, of the
17th inst. speaks of them at Durham Bridge,
where they held an entertainment with
Professor Smith . The people here speak
in the highest terms of tate entertainment.
The address of Mr. Smith, of the Emeralds,
was decidedly good and will do much to
encourage the work here. The music by
Prof. Morgan and hie daughter, little Fairy,
was much appreciated, but the recitations
by little Fairy took the •udie.oe by storm.
Site knows just how to do it and •be does it
to perfection.

K. E MY ERS, (2.C.,
county CCrown attorney of Duffer -
in, has written several open let-
tere favoring the union of Canada with the
United Wates. These have been from time
to time criticized in the press. Sir Oliver
Mowat eonsidered the advocacy of such
views tuconaistent with Mr. Myers' position
as Crown attorney and clerk of the peace,
.od caused him to Ie remonstrated with.
The remonstrance proxluc.l no change
in air. Myers' views or course of action,
and after the exchange of two or three let-
tere, as printed below, Mr. Myer tram re-
quested to send an hu resignation. This he
reused to do and here the correspondence
coda It is understood, however, that Mr.
Myers will be dismissed from the positions
be at present holds under the Crown, and
to which be was apporited by Sir Oliver
Mowat. The correspondence is as follows :
Toronto, 9th May, 1892.
Sus, -with r01erenoe to two recent pa-
pers which you have published advocating
the transfer of Canada by its people to •
foreign nation, the Attorney -General bas
recently bad his attention called to thees
papers, and desires me to gay that what-
ever may be the strength or weakss o1 the
reasees for or against such • transfer, be
considers the public advocacy of the posi-
tion of an officer who is in his county has
charge of the administration of justioe. Tb.
impropriety is emphasised by the circum-
stances of the first of the two papers being
• criticism of a paper on the subject by the
Attorney -General himself, the head of the
department to which your othloe belongs,
and the head of the Government. He does
not contemplate any scoop in the matter,
but wishes you to be *were of his opinks.
Your obedient servant,

Sia,-Repiying to yours of the 9th inst.,
you w certainly mistaken in supposing
that I loi e, in any paper, advocated the
transfer of Canada to • foreign land. This
was accomplished in 1763, when one foreign
land transferred tier to soother, to which
she still belongs, and I .m not so enamored
of the result that I desire • repetition of the
act. What I did adro teats was the re -un-
ion of our Canadian colony with the Eng-
lish-speaking nation to the south on eras
equally honorable and fair to both. In do-
ing so i hal not the slightest idea that I
was transgressing the rules of au officer in
the public service. Even though 1 had not
been awn of the position at one time taken
by him rho is tow the Prime Minister of
a, and bad not observed such high
officials es Sir Charles Tupper, Mr. John
Crerar and the police magistrateOf Torooto
engaged in the propaganda of their views
both on the platform and in the prem, I
would not have supposed that the there fact
of • man being engaged in the public ser-
vice would have deprived hitr of the right
and highest duty of citizenship, namely,
that of advocating such measures as he
deems meat oonductiee to the welfare of his
native lead. Nor did it occur to me that
the fact of my being entrusted with the .d-
miai.tratian of ju.tioe constituted • reason
why I should refrain from advocating what
I deemed to be the interest. of the public
whom I served and who paid me for the
service. The fiat that nes of my letters was
in reply to one of the Attorsey-General's
was regretted by no one mon than my"s!f.
I had waited for some oeneidersble time for
some cos more preeminent sad mon worthy
of the steel of the Attereey-cetmul to re-
ply to it, but no ons ..ming to do so it
was im pursuance of • determination I had
formed, and *blob my strong feeling on the
wbj.ct will compel me to continue in at
whatever caori6c., to strike • blow *ben-
ever i can for a came. that I fell a.smred is
the only ere that will secure us, se •
country, a monition among the natio= of
the world. Nor is writing any first paper
did it weer tome that 1 was guilty of any
=propriety by twos of the fact that the
peemom I was replying to, happened to be the
lees= d thedep•rtmet to which my *Soo
