In every important speech which Mr.
Laurier has delivered of late he has tak-
en occasion to declare that whenever
British and Canadian intereets are
brought into conflict he will be found
standing up for the latter. The frequent
reiteration of this declaration by the
Opposition leaderjustifies the belief that
he expects an early conflict of these in-
terests, and is preparing the public mind
for the course he is about to take.
There is no reason, however, why the
day anticipated by Mr. Laurier should
ever come. The conditions favor mak-
ing the union closer instead ot a sever-
ance of it, England ste.ntis ready to
consume more than Canada can produce
in the very articles which the Dominion
is best calculated for the production of,
and is able to supply us with those other
articles which we cannot so well urnish
for ourselves. Here is a solid foundation
for a trade alliance. England, again,
with the greatest Maritime interest in
the world, with colonies open. to atteck
all over two hemispheres, is not likely
to plunge wantonly into war while her
enormous strength and resources would.
enable her to overcome any antagonist
which might force a contest upon her.
Here then is a power an offensive and
defensive alliance with which would
• make us safer than we could be made in
any other way. With blood, trade in-
terests and the requirenaents of public

EXETER.
To the Editor of the Exeter Times.
MR. EwiTort,—Ist ow that all the nonsense
and imposition that have been indulged in
with regard to the Exeter station and mar-
ket question is quieted, and the edict has
gone forth that the old market house and.
weighscales shall be removed from the
centre . of the village one hundred and
twenty rods south, who will he benefited
by the change? Echo enswere, who ? One
reason given why the market should he
moved was that another village would
spriug up around the market. If it is
wrong to build up the eentre of the village
why Wee a bonus given to Mr, Verity to
move his works down there ? Another
reason given is set forth in a fly sheet:
"Because the interests of the nineteen -
twentieths of the business men of the vill-
age should not be sacrificed to the interests
of the farmere when they will not aecrifice
one cent to benefit us."
1 eau Assure ell that thq, fanners do not
want any sinxpathy. While it is quite
true that business men are a help to the
farmers, it is just as true that farmers
are a help to the business men. Our in-
terests are reciprocal but to think that
shrewd, sensible men can cherish the wick-
ed delusion that by moving an old small
house down to the town hall will compel
every farmer coming into Exeter from the
north with a load of grain to draw it three
quarters of a mile extra. merely te gratify
the spite of cortaiuparties who think they
have a grievance, Is past compr .hension.
i
I lutve delivered stock in Exet on six
different occasions this summer d "aliveys
received my pay in the 'market house, hate
ing no amuse either to give or receive a
treat, and for that reason I am sorry that
the old house is to be removed. 13y es-
tablishing a market at the town hall e*vhat
would follow? Every one of the empty
stores around. the hall wafild be doing
businessmausing morefoompetiteen which I
tbink even the storekeepers will admit is
overdone alleady. This market question
is nothing new. Many towns and villages
bane tried to do what Exeter is trying to..
do now, only to main faller% The town
of Seaforth tried it. How have they suc-
ceeded ? Why sir you might as well look.
for either a buyer or a seller in the Eigy
swamp as on the Seaters e market, Gram
is bought in Seaforth any place between
Eginondville and the Huron Read. The
oldest grain buyer in .Seaforth advertises
in the Expositor of °doter 30 1891, as
follows :—
"I thank the fanners for their patronage
in the past and. would ask for a. continu-
ance of their favors by driving direct to
Old No. 6 warehouse with a liberal share
of their wheat, peas, barley, oats, &a.,
where they are always sure of the highest
market price. The producer has it in his
own power to keep up a healthy competi-
tion."
Now this is just what the Exeter buyers
wilt do. Yours truly,
A NORTH FARMER.

Wznie Ring James the first wrote his
"counterblast to tobacco" the royal pedant
knew nothing of the "Myrtle Navy." If he
had, instead of wasting his brains over his
curious production, he would have filled his
royal pipe with it, and would have taken a
royal smoke, he would then have been pre-
pared to admit that with regard to the in-
jurious effects of tobaccoes all depended on
what tobaceo you smoked, ,

Balm for a :prolonged case of oold in the

could not replaoe it.

DEAR Sra,—Allow is to eorreet an error
itt your issne of the 7th inst. The item
wreaks of Mr 3. W. Harrison being engag-
ed to teach in S, B. No. 3, Stephen, at a
reduced salary on the part of the trustees
whith is not the ease. We have engaged
Mr. Harrison for 1892, giving him a greater .
increase in salary than any former teacher.

The Little '92.
The following lines ate the composition

Thames road, and are meritorious of the
literary genius of this estimable lady :--
Sbaine on you little '92,

And with each sob tears shed 111101.6
Youweary us with this display.
Your infant tricks full well we know,
Old '91 played just such gain°.
SO were prepared to see you Clow
And snow 'ere well you've got your name.
Perhaps this soft and melting WfitY0
Presages more than youthful whi•
These tears may ask for longer stay.
The rogue! a day we yield to him.
So. dry your eyes you little sprite,
And cuddle down, dear '92.
Under your blankets, soft and w
, Till,april kiss awaken you
