[lfe•oni Our Own Correspondent.]
Ottawa, Aug. 24. --"There exists in
the United States a latent feeling a love
for Britain." Thus said Sir Wilfrid.
Laurier in London a few weeks ago. The
statement was only a reiteration of re-
marks made scores of times by the Fer-
vors, the Fieldings, the Charltons and
the other Yankee philes wbo have always
allied tbemselves with the Liberal party.
The Englishmen who bearcl this asset -
once of the existence of brotherly love
said nothing, but wondered. Johe Sher -
man's pronuxielamento had. scarcely had
the ink dried ou its pages but in the
time of jubilee there was little tendency
eni Britain's part towards exacerbated
natioual feeling. Since the day of Sir
Wilfrid, s remark there have been wbat
newspaper reportere oaU developmente.
It bas been discovered that the United
States Congress has adopted a tariff
which hae enacted that goods imported
into the republio through a contiguous
oountry slant suffer an additional impest
of ten per mut Of ceurae, tine is (limited
at Canada, and at Canada alone, for

tbis01411$0 a the Dingley bin is oon-
careen. The blove is strualt at the Cana-
dian railways and at Britisix Commerce.
The Canadian Paolfiti for years . has
, broughb thousande of tons ot tea to the
easiest and has shipped them aoross -the
oentinent to American cities. The Amer -
leaps desire to injure this railway and
the Grand feunk. Mr- Carlisle, Under-
Soaretary of the Treasury, says that the
clause Was not intended to refer to goods
brought through• Canada in band, but
his is -merely an academia opinion. The
potent feet is neat the A.niericans seek
again to put the screws on Canada.
Export Duty on Raw Logs.
Our lumbermen, wile also have felt
the weight of the exclusionist -xi of the
Dingley programme, have met in confer -
once. By a vote of 55 to 11 they have
passed a resolution °Minn; upon the Fed -
oral Government here in Ottawa to im-
pose an export duty on saw logs. Tho
estimable Mr. Charlton protested straitly
against the resolution. He held out all
manlier a threats, Re bas lately been
In Washington, and he assured the Min-
k hermen that they would be financially
ruined if the export duty were imposed
by our novernment Of couese, tine
Charlton is completely disinterested. The
fact that he makes thousands of dollars
yearly out of his busluess of towing Saw
logs uoress Lake Erie has nothing to do
with his views, His Canadian patriotism
is very largely influenced by his regard
for the earning powers of Jobn Gnarl -
ton's tugs.
The Government Refuses to Do Anything.
The Federal Government although it
possesses tize power to impose an export
duty on saw logs, still refuses to do any-
thing. The lumbermen know that thou-
sands of Canadian workingmen would be
benefited by the imposition of suoh a
duty and the workingmen themselvee
demand ib, The Globe, the Montreal
Herald and other Liberal newepapers ad-
vise the Administration to do nothing
that may anger the Americans, The
Montreal Government organ gives us a
characteristically able argument why we
should meekly submit to the domineer-
ing Americans. "If a donkey kicks you
do you kick him back?" enquires the
sapient editor of The Herald. To which
inquiry the independent Ottawa Journal
'very oppositely answers: "No. You
stand still until he kicks you to death."
The miserable, sneaking affection for all
that is American as against anything
that is Canadian is still a characteristic
of the Globe and of the Herald, which
is now run by a graduate of the Globe,
on Globe lines. No sensible Canadian
has any sentimental antagonism to the
Americans, It is only when it becomes
evident that Congress and the people of
the United States desire to harass us as
much as possible that we Canadians be-
come ready to hit batik. We should be
spineless idiots if we were built- other-
wise. The Globe and the Herald preach
-the cowardly doctrine of non-resistance
either because they are afraid of the
-Americans or because they are ignorant
'of their duty to the people of the Dom-
inion. If they think they can manage a
. campaign of education that will end in
their convincing the Canadian people
that we should aot as door -mats to Ding-
ley, McKinley ee Co. they are much mis-
taken. Edward Blake, Sir Oliver Mowat
and other leading Liberals have told us
that they see no prospect of inducing
the Americans to treat us fairly, and
that we should go on, modelling our
own future undeterred by threats from
over the border. Why cannot the Globe
and the Herald and their friends Field-
ing, Cartwright & Blair, see this? Their
admiration for anything American is
amazing, and not to be understood by
those "an the outside."
Dan Bps Up "Ananias."
Last week mention was made of the
feud betweou Dan McGillicuddy, the
editor of the Liberal Goderich Signal,
and "Ananias" Cameron, the Liberal
member for the riding. Since then Mr.
' McGillicuddy has had another column
l
of interesting matter printed concerning
Mr. Cameron. As everybody knows by
ethis time, the trouble arose over Cam-
eron's action in securing the Goderich
postmastership for his son -In-law, against
the wishes of Mn McGillicuddy, who
wanted the post himself, and other Lib-
erals. Cameron formerly was a very
bitter opponent of anything like nepon
ism. It was his custom to look up the
'collateral relations of Conservative mem-
bers of Parliament and if he had any-
thing to go on, to charge them with ne-
potism. It was Mn Cameron who nettle
so much noise some twenty years ego
because Sir John Macdonald had inarrien
a lady whose brother held a civil service
post Probably Mr. Caraeron thought the
gentleman Should neve resigned by way
of celebrating his sister's marriage. But
this is what McGillicuddy has to say of
Cameron this week
"It is with feelings of the deepest re-
gret that the Signal announces the con-
temptible, lying and crooked median of
Cameron on this 000aS103),
"Men have been in jail who ought to
have been. in Parliament, and many a
man has been in Parliament who ought
to have been in jail.
"Our duty is plain, It is to pillory
the renegade before the eyes of all honest
men, and harsh as the duty is, and, how-
ever unwilling we nay be, for the sake
oe the friendehip that is past, we will
not hesitate to do it.
"By his 'Present course he has not only
earned the contempt of his opponents,
but he has earned the disgust of his
former friends. In the natio riding of
Vest Huron there is nut a peal:Lenient
Liberal who does not unhesitatingly tle-
nounce his conduct, and who, if given
an opportunity, would not relegate him
to the political obscurity which was his
portion quite recently, and from winch
he should never have been resurrected, to
betray the confidence of his old-time
friends and supporters. Politically he is
as dead as the late Judas Iscariot and
equally beyond. the hope of a glorious
resurrection."
Hardy Wants Wilfrid's Aid.
With half a score of Liberal news-
papers denouncing the eidministration;
with Israel Tarte at daggers drawn with
ap important section of the Quebec Lib-
erals; with Hon. A, G. Blair skipping
off to Europe because he does not want
to meet his chief, Sir Wilfrid may antici-
pate a hearty weloome. From no nian
will he receive a more cordial greeting
than Hon. A. S. Hardy, the Premier of
this Province. Hon, Mr. Hardy is a credie
tor of Sir Wilfrid's, for in June, 1896,
did not the whole force of Ontario Gov-
ernment servants turn out to aid the
Liberals in their campaign? Mr. Hardy
wants to be paid back now. Be expects
his honored leader in Dominion politics
to become his active lieutenant in the
Ontario contest. And Sir Wilfrid Laurier
dare not refuse. Mr. Hardy bas him in a
cleft stick. The Liberals here at Ottawa
have told the oeuritry that they are de-
termined to make the provincial lists the
basis of the Dominion erauchise. The
Liberals are in power in the province,
and it is expected of them that they will
so arrauge the lists as to make it impose
sibie for any Conservative candidate to
win in the next Dominion election except
under a severe handicap. This is the
duty that Mr. Hardy will be oalled upon
to perform and for which he will be re-
warded by Sir Wilfrid, The Liberals are
preparing to fight for their lives in On-
tario, but their hope is small. They
know that the feeling in the province is
all for a change. The truth is that the
Hardy methods are beginning to be no-
derstood by Ontarloans. The notitious
8400,000 surplus, for instance, was be-
lieved in not long ago, By this time the
people of Ontario know that Mr. Har-
court is guilty of deliberate reisrepre-
seetation when he says there is any sur-
plus. To count 'hospitals and. publics
buildings as an asset in figuring up the
province's flume:del condition is rauk rot.
And the people are beginning to know
It. . .
Israel Tarte says he will be in the
present Government as loeg as it lasts.
This is exactly -what was prophesied in
thiscorrespondencelong ago. Tarte's hold
on Laurier is so strong that the Premier
cannot get rid of him. Tarte nnows
things which he would be quick to tell
if he fell °tie with the men in power
bere. Mr, Donly, of the Sinacoe Reform-
er, still desires to know about the
Drummond Couuty deal. Says he: -
“That little $800,000 deal between cer-
tain Montreal Liberals (?) and Mr.
Tarte's sons for the possession of La Petrie
newspaper, and over which Mr. Tarte
grows so wrathy with the Simcoe Re-
former, is very much a side issue. The
full details, of course, are difficult to get
at. The particulars are, we presume,
only in the possession of the parties to
the transaction, and they are at liberty
to tell just as much and just as little as
they see fit. If Mr. Tarte can clear his
skirts we shall be glad. Meanwhile we
take his bare denial for what it is worth.
It has been a far from pleasing task for
us to point out bow in 'various matters
the Government has fallen short of the
promises of the party while 133 Opposi-
tion. We believe that tens of thousands
of old-line Liberals agree with us, and
eve can assure the Hon. J. I. Tarte that
his simple denial of the La Petrie story
will not suffice. He should bave followed
up his denial with something more to
the point tnan half a yard of abuse of
this paper. The Reformer was fighting
the battles of the Liberal party when
Mr. Tarte was squeezing Government
contractors for ammunition with which
to destroy it, and it is likely to be still
fightieg them when Mr. Tarte is again
back at his old occupation. We have no
favor to ask of the czar of the Public,
Works Department, nor have we any
cause to be fearful of his journalistic
thunder, so carefully reproduced by the
impartial Globe. .As we said in begin-
ning, the La Petrie purchase is only an
incident. The case against the Govern-
ment is that the bargain for the pur-
chase of the Drummond County Railway
was, in the main, corrupt' -that certain
political brokers were to be greatly en-
riched by the deal being consummated.
Time and a rigid examination alone will
demonetrate whether this paper or Hon.
J. Israel Tarte have been the best friends
of honest Liberalism." -

Life rartnere.
A. popular lecturer recently related
an incident in his experience which the
girl readers of the Coropanion may find
amusing end possibly suggestive.
Re was invited by a woraarns club
to address them upon the business
careers now open to their sex. When
the evening arrived, he found the large
hall in which he was expected to epeak
filled with bright, intelligent women,
most of whom were young. Be de-
livered his lecture to attentive listen-
ers, and as he sat down one of the
managers, a petty, earnest -looking
girl, whispered:
"One thing more. Tell us how these
new careers affect a, woman's chances
e marriage."
Be laughed, but she was grave. Be
fumbled his papers to give himself
time for a little *might. "After all,"
he said to himself, "this question is no
joke." Glancing over the hall, it oc-
curred to him that. while these hun-
dreds of young women raioht or might
not be fitted for a trade or profession,
God had planned. each one of them to
be a wife, with children coraraitten to
her care, The question whetlaerethey
were shutting themselves out from that
natural work of life was surely of as
mph import to them and. to society as
their probable suceess as clerks, or in
any of the numerous oceupations and
professions into which women are now
entering.
The choice in marriage still rested
with men. Would they be as likely to
choose what is called the emancipated
woman as leer domestic sister?
It was a really serious question, yet
he smiled as he repeated it aloud.
"I have been asked to answer this
query," he said. "It is too large and
grave a question for me to decide. But
I will tell you a story which may
throw some light upon one feature
of it.
"In the town where I live there is an
old negro named Jacob who is known
as Professor. He whitewashes walls
and fences, cuts grass and saws wood.
A. year ago Jacob took a youieg fellow
named Tom as partner. Tom was
quick, handy and obliging, and the
business of the new fam increased.
The professor's hovel and cart bore the
sign Jacob & Co. in large charcoal let-
tering.
"In a comparatively brief time, how-
ever, Tom disappeared, and the 'Co.'
was blotted from the sign.
"'Where's Tom?' I asked the old
man.
"'1 know nuffin 'bout Torn,' he
answered. 'Don' want no sieh pardner
as dat.'
"'What was wrong, Jacob? He
seemed industrious and clever.'
'Clever enough! Kin saw an' mow
an' handle de brush 's well as I kin.
But he took to wearin' my clo'es, 'n'
smokin' my pipe, 'n' callin' himself de
actin' pardner in de firm. Don' know
he's place. He jes' t'ought he war me
-me! Den, sah, I broke de partner-
ship.'
"Men," said the lecturer "are not
wholly unlike Jacob. As I see them, I
think they are willing women should -
metaphorically speaking -saw, or
mow, or handee any of their tools, so
long as they remain 'women, gentle,
modest and pure. But when they
usurp the place of men in their habits
and manners and assumptions, they
will find it hard to form partnerships
for life with thin." -Youth's Corapan-
panion.

ory Verses, 6-8- Golden 'Text, II Gor.
iii, ?-Comraentary by the Hey'. D. M.
Steams.
1. "For as touching the ministering to
the eabets, it is euperfluoes for ine to write
to you." The great privilege of minister-
ing to others, wiaetber in things temporal
Ito spiritual, is a Very Godlike one, for
'Tile Son of man came not to be minis-
tered unto, but to minister, and to give
Ris life a ransom for many" (Math, xx,
28). He is our great and only examplein
all things if we bare first of all truly re-
ceived Hen and thus been saved by His
blood (Eph, 1, 6, 7). lentil we are saved
by Hine -we cannot servo Hien but when
once we have become children of God by
faith in Him then our great work is to
serve the living and true God.
2. "Your zeal bath provoked very
many." As we consider HIM of eiTtoen Ib
is written, "The zeal of thine bouse bath
eaten me up" (Ps. We, 9-; John ii, 17),
and who, though He was rich, yet for our
sakes became poor, that we through His
poverty might be rich (II Con viii, 9), we
will be increasingly filled with His spirit
and manifest His zeal (II Cot iii, 18).
Then as others see Hint le us they will ad-
mire Him and want to be like Him,
When once we are saved by Him, He asks
us to hand over to Him our bodies that
Be may dwell in us and walk in us to the
glory of God the Father (Rom. xii, 1, e;
II Con vi, 16; viii, 5).
B. "neet bave I sent the beethreu lest
our boasting of you should be in vain in
this bebalf; that, as I said, ye may be
ready," Vlore is often 11 seeming readi-
ness that does not always result in a per-
formance, either through lack of sincerity
or some temptation of the adversary,
Hence Paul sent Titus and a brother wbose
praise was in all the churches (II Con
viii, 16-18) designating them both as "the
messengers of the churches, the glory of
Christ." To these brethren, and through
them, the believers at Corinth were to
allow the peoof of their love.
4. "Lest haply if they of Macedonia
novae with me and find you =prepared,
we should be ashazned in this same mein
dent boasting," If we trust in people and
let their promises, we will be very apt to
be ashanied, for the best intentions of peo-
ple may some to naught. John, by the
Spirit, exhorts us az( to abide in Christ
that we WW1 not be asbamed before Hien
En His coming (1 John if, 28). If God is
working in us, His thoughts and works
aro sure to be fulfilled (lea. xis, 24; nen
11, 29). But if we are, apart front Him,
seeking to accomplish somewbat, it will
be very apt to fall through,
5. "Tberefore I thought it necessary to
exbort the brethren, that they would go
before mato you and make up beforehand
your bouety." There seems to me to be a
little more of looking to men than to God
in all this exhortation and tearfulness on
the part of Paul. It seems a good deal
like the way things are dote today, rather
than wben, in the days of Moses, the people
gave so willingly and abundantly that
they had to be restrained from bringing
(Ex., xxxvi, 6, 7).
6. "But this I say, He which sowetli
sparingly shall reap also sparingly, apd he
which soweth bountifully shall reap also
bountifully." On as it Is written in Prey.
xi, 24, "There is that scattereth and yet
inereaseth, and there is that withholdeth
more than is meet, but it tendeth to pov-
erty." And again in Penn xiii, 7, "There
is that maketh himself rich, yet bath noth-
ing; there is that maketb himself poor
yet bath great riches," No farmer expects
a groat harvest from a small sowing; how
can a Christian think otherwise?
7. "Every 333011 according as be purpos-
eth in his heart, so let inin give; not
grudgingly or of necessity, for God loveth
a obeerful giver." All service to be ac-
ceptable must be heart service unto God,
in the name of the Lord Jesus and in the
power of the Spirit. Those who worship
God must worship Him in spirit and in
truth. No mere outward form counts for
-anything. God so loved tbat Be gave. The
Son of God loved MO and gave Himself for
me, and unless we cheerfully give we
have not His spirit. The Greek word Id-
laros, here translated cheerful, is not found
elsewhere. You eau easily see in it cum
word bilarity, suggesting God's pleasure
in one who gives with laughter because be
is so glad of tbe opportunity.
8. "And God is able to make all grace
abound toward you; that yo always, hav-
ing all sufficiency in all things may
abound to every good work." However
close one may be naturally, and not In-
clined to give, the exceeding, abundant
grace of God is able to transform even
such a one into a hilarious giver, and
such a miracle of grace brings great glory
to God. So in every other phase of the
Christian life God is able to make mani-
fest in the incise uhlikely person the very
spirit of Christ. "Not that vve are suffi-
cient of ourselves to think anything as of
ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God"
(II Con 1117 5). A very little Christian
living and. Cbristian work seem to satisfy
many who bear His beautiful names -
pennies for God, but dollars many for a
bicycle, or a spring suit, or cigars, or a
ball dress; a few moments for Him, but
Mazy hours a day for recreation which
must be had.
9, 10. This parenthesis is a quotation
from a psalm (mai), which speaks of the
blessedness of the upright roan who lives
in the fear of the Lord; to such God will
give the power of doing good beyond their
utniost thought. He will not only provide
that which we are to scatter, but He will
bless it as we scatter it and cause it to in-
cAease and multiply like the IITO loaves of
the lad which fed the 5,000. The seed to
be sown is His, whether it be seed in the
form of His word or money or good deeds.
"The seed is the word of God,"' The sil-
ver is mine and the gold is mine, saith
the Lord of Hosts." "Good 'ivories are also
propnecd for us to walk iii" (Luke 111,
11; Hag. 11, 8; Eph. ii, 10). Where God
sees any one who is willing faithfully to
scatter seed, He will abenciantly supply
both the seed and His blessing, without
which there can be no increase (1 Cor.
111, 7).
11. "Being enriched in everything to
ail bountifuniese, which causeth through
us thenksgiving to God." As we pass on
the good things of God people are blessed
and God is glorified, and the unspeakable
eft, our Lord Jesus Cbrist Himself, is
magnified. In everything we are enriched
by Him in all utterance and knowledge
(I Con i, 5) and blessed with all spiritual
blessings and everything pertaining to life
and godliness (Epb. 1, 8; II Pet 1, 3),
that we may be channels through which
Be an pass on, or make these things
known to others. "I wt11 bless thee, and
thou shalt be a blessing." "Freely ye
have received, freely give" (Gen. iii, 9;
Math, x, 8).

hour each day to teaching her young son

The king of Siam bas an income of

THE LIVE STOCK MARKETS.
•
Toronto, Aug. 80, -At the Western
Cattle market this morning we had a
total (including Saturday's receipts) of
over 70 loans cif offerings, including 1,200
hogs, 1,100 lambs and sheep, 50 calves,
and a few milkers. The market was an
active one, and prices were steady, -while
not quotably changed. All the good stuff
sold out early.
In the export cattle market about
everythilag sold at prices ranging from
34 to 34.50 per 100 pounds; occasionally
$4,60 and even $4,65 was paid. But cattle
continue too dear in this country to be
shipped at a profit with prices as they
are at preseot in Britain.
There was also much activity with
butchers' cattle anti prices for good stoff
were firm, good ohoice butchers' cattle
selling at from 38.25 to 83.40 per 100
pounds. Medium sold at about $8 to
$3.12ee per 100 pounds, and common
around 32.711. There appeared to be little
if any cattle selling at 234e per pound
this morning. The yards were well
cleared out at the Soleil.
Good bulls and stockers are wanted.
Good export bulls fetch from 3 to Ono
per pound, with 8Viee for choice. Stockere
are worth from 2 /-8 to Sete per pound.
A few feeders will also sell.
Only a few milkers were here. Prices
unchanged. Enquiry light.
We had scarcely fifty calves in; choice
are wanted at from $4 to 36 each; but
poor calves are of no use bere at present.
The run of sheep and lambs was a
beavy one. Good shipping sheep and
choice lambs are iti active demand. Ex-
port sheep are worth from 834 to 33eo
per pound. Bucks fetch 2ee10 eenc per
pound. Lambs are steady at from 34 to
34.40 per 100 pounds for very blueice. e4.11
here to -day sold readily.
Tbere was a good trade in hogs; prices
to -day wore $5.75 per 100 pounds, for
the very best, 35.50 for light hogs; for
thick fat $5 was paid; for stores from 33
to 33.75; aud for stags 32 per 100 pounds,
These prices were paid to -day; these
prices will be paid on Tuesday. It is
uncertain whether they will hold out for
the entire week, as a reduction is cen
tain. Prices this morning were steady,
but the tendency was downward,
