ItCsreported here'that a worse than
your correspondent Was after members
o£ the Salvation Army d'urin ' the
recent big pow wow here. .The
story
goes that a Mr. and Mrs, Symons, of
W ing a,m, came here to fraternize with,
the brethren, and when `within a few
miles of our village they heard a rug -
ling in the leaves of the trees by the
wayside, Peering through the foliage
they sawn what appeared to be a pair of
wildly glaring and fiery eyes greeting:
their vision, Thinking it .was an ocu-
lar delusion, merely the frost -crimsoned
tints of the leaves of some particular
tree, they were still passing on when a
most unearthly noise made the welkin
ring, the very air to quake and their
own nerves to vibrate within them as
though . the_ lest trump had. sountlecl.
Not being acquainted with the angel
Gabyiel, et any other of the supposed
last day touters, they were Halting be-
tween the opinions whether the noise
proceeded from the horn of one of the
Army warriors or that of the real Gab-
riel when a lynx or wild cat made a
dive from the tree and landed on the
buggy, greatly to their consternation,
but without doing them injury, the
animal dropping• off by the roadside,
when the occupants whipped up their
animal and made 2.40 time for this
Village.—News Record.

through meai-
um of the newspaper that the Reform-
ers are trying very hat•d to persuade
t '`...c 'opl of Canada' to consent to An-
�he p
nexatioe and Free Trade., Not, sir, I
th' nk rot will admit that both of the
t .3 l,y. ,
t� subjects are very important ones
altov',s J
and its people, ,boeause the
to CiinaCla n n _ � will ever' put into forte,- will uih-
doubtedly bring about the other, : Wiry
h then
oda,. sl ould bo ,.nneaed to:• U ited
States, l: venture to say that in • their
way they are ,trying to get a
policy to win the• voto 01 the people the
seine as Mr. W. E.'Gladstone did ,When
lie tried to pass his Home Rule Bill for
Ireland instead Olt -Localeovernxnent
Bill, and they are quite` wilting to sell
or give Canada to.• the United States
against the wish of the people, in order
to Make it name for themselVes,a name
that would bring disgrace oir them for
ever. What is there for the people of
Canada to gain by annexation to the
States? I fail to see where anything can
be gained by suet: a policy. The Reform
ers tell us the United States is a very
rich Conntry—that of course we. admit.
They will also tell us that the •farms of
the utates are better than those of Can
Ada, that •there produce is better, and
that labour generally is better paid than
it is in Canada. Now, sir, I' have had
a fair experience of United States 'and
you will find that the Land is not ea
good as the farming lands of Canada,
The States farmer cannot get such a
good sale for his grain as the Canadian
farmer, which proves that the quality
of the grain is not so good as that of
Canada. Neither are horses and cattle
as good as the Canadian cattle; riot do
the farmers•and merchants pay such
good wages as those in Canada. Now,
sir, if the Reformers are to be admitted
into power what will become of the
people of Canada's under their rule.
Let the people of Canada reflect before
they take such a fatal step as piecing
the Reformers into power -a step that
would cause the ruin of Canada and
misery iu many Canadian homes. And,
sir, the people of the United States will
tell us that they do not want Canada;
why then do they crave for the produce
and trade of Granada if they do not
want a share of the country; why are
their agents always in league with the
leaders of the Reform party making
plans for the Reformers' to carry out if
they are able tondo so? Depend neon it
the United States will snap at Canada
the first chance that presents itself.
They know the worth of Canada; they
know of millions of rich acres now in
cultivation that' has raised the name
of Canada far above that of any other
country for farming; they know of the
rich lands, known as ranches, where
the settler can liye in peae and prosper
ity; then there are the different kinds
of "inanufacturers and other kinds of in-
dustry which abound is Canada, ma-
king it one of the most thriving nations
of the present time. And, sir, it will
do well for the people of Canada to re
member that the States has been the
bitter enemy,that their ancestorsfought
the Yankees and was successful, and
the time would come when they, of the
present time, wouid rise in open re-
bellion if they suffer themselves to go
under the laws and g.ovcrnment of the
Unsted States, their lberty would be
taken from them as compared with the
mode of government they are govern-
ed with now. And, sir, I have seen it
hinted in one of their newspapers that
the people of Canada cherish the hope
of one day being in the position to choose
a king or president at their will, and,
if Canadians do not wish for union with
the States, Old England will always be
ready to help them out of any difficulty.
For if ever the United States gets pos-
session of Canada they must win it be -
the sword and gun, or I did not read
the words of Lord Salisbury right when
he said: "it would be with bitter pain
and grief that England. would part
with Canada" which, in my opinion,
means that so long as England has got
a soldier to 'fight Canada shall not , be
annexedto any country against her
will. And, why are the Reformers al-
ways craving for Free Trade? Let
me ask, would it be a wisp and Just
coure to pursue, this so celled Fret
Trade? And why should the United
States be favoured more than En laud
or any other country, with free access
to the Canadian markets? In my opin-
ion England and our sister colonies
have a greater right to the free access
than the United States, and if the Gov-
ernment gives free access to one count
r,y- she must give it to all,or what willbe
the result of the commerce, and before
they do that let them look at the trade
of'Great Britian, under the so called
Free Trade. What is thetrade of Great,
Britian, as cotapaied with ,forty years
ago, has not her trade been going back?
Yes, and from 1872 to 1838 it went
back to the tune of two millions of.
pounds $10.000.000. a year. Of course
Canadians know the present systems
of trade in Englarid is the wont. of Ile -
formers, known there as Liberals. At
the time it was brought into foroe Mr.
Gladstone said: "That in the course
of ten or twelve years they Would; find
every country doing the same thing."
Sir Robert Peel said: "That irr the
course of forty or fifty,yeers they would
find thethetrade of Englancleompictoly
crippled and ruined. "And to prove
that Sir Robert Peel was ''right when

How cab there be this • •
epxpansion of our
agricultural exports to the States° litho p
have a far larger surplus to , sell (at
lower prices) thanourselvep,of'fariniaig e
products. The Reformers ad voeate for-
eigu patronage on the ground that our
exports to the United States during the a
the great ciyil war was caused by the es
Reciprocity Treaty. If the States again
look to war, instead of farming and re-'
lied on Canada chiefly for feeding, cloth- u `
ing' and mounting them, they would a-
gain buy from our farmers whether
there was a reciprocity or not, high
duties or low cuties. And, the only
way in which Canada can compete
with other nations is to keep on the ,'
same line of trade as she is now, unless
it is a policy of Free Trade all around,
and, then the present system
is the best for her to protect her farm,:
ers and manufacturers from the ruiti
that must uucloubtedly be their doom
if the Reformers are allowed to go into .;
power and sell or give their markets •
and liberties to the tender mercies of
the United States.
