TIDE EXPOSITOR'S CRITICISM'.
The Seaforth E'aiosctor has thought
fit to reply to a certain editorial of ours
in which we spoke of the financial
standfing of Canada in the money mar.
kots of England,—and generally
speaking, of the prosperous condition.
of cur people, -as reasons for not
yielding to the craving anxiety of
some for a change of government, And
we are asked to say whether "the farms
in Hurpn County are worth as much
asthey were thirteen years ago"—
which period would carry us back to
the dark glo•rny days of Grit rule un
dor the financial mismanagement of
the Mackenzie -Cartwright regime.
Does the Seaforth Expositor mean to
tell the intelligent fanners of Huron',
that the. N. P. has .caused this depreci
Mime in the value of Ontario farm
lands, when the aim and natural re-
sult of that policy was to help the
farmers by ,giving them an .enlarged
home market, to which through the
present government's far-seeing policy
the British and foreign markets have
since been opened up to our farmers?
The Seaforth J
Expositor knows just as
P
well as we do that the -depreciation in
the value of farm property in this Pro-
vince has been pwing'to other causes
and mainly (if not altogether) to the
exodus of many farmers and farmers'
sons to the great Northwest territory
where a homestead could be got for
ten dollars of 160 acres, and as much
more of the riehest virgin soil at from
one dollar to two and a half dollars
per acre. Then as to the low price of
wheat, farmers in Ontario need never
again look for high prices for their
wheat while Manitoba and the N. W
prairies raise such vast cross of grain
at one half the cost we can in this pro_
wince. We ask, in all seriousness, if Mr
Laurier and his political friends were
returned to power to-morrow,—would
the condition of our farmers be im-
proved by the change? Would the
value of farm lands in Ontario, or the
price of Ontario wheat, be increased.
by a change of administration? The
Expositor knows better, but wisher fcr
political purposes to throw dust in the
eyes of an intelligent community oy.
re iterating the cry of a few malcon_
tents and hungry office seekers to get
possession of the loaves and fishes of
political promotion, and then •adminis-
ter Sir Richard Cartyright's empiric
of telling the farmers to "go to the
devil!" Therefore we repeat, while
Canada is doing fairly well under her
present progressive policy and her
present popular administration—as is
admitted by all the foreigners as well
as British travellers who have looked
in upon us on their way to or from the
World's Fair—our safest policy is to
`'let well enough alone."
FORMATION OF A GENERAL
SYNOD.
A most important step has been tak-
en in the formation of a General Sy-
nod of the Church of England in Can-
ada. This decision has been reached
after long and prayerful deliberation;
and now we have witnessed the third
church consolidation effected within.
the last few years,—the other two be-
ing the union under one General As-
sembly or Conference of the Presbyter-
ian and Methodist bodies respectively.
There was a good deal of friction ex-
perienced throughout the nineteen or
twenty dioceses of the Anglican body
en Canada, as to the preservation of
the rights of diocesan and provincial
Synods; and at' the conference of bish-
ops, clergy and laity, held last week
in Toronto, it was feared that the plan
for confederating all the Episcopal
churches throughout the Dominion
would have fallen to the ground. Hap-
pily, however, harmonious counsels
prevailed; and a large and influential
committee, composed of the three ord-
ers in the church, finally reported on
a basis of union which was Unanimous-
ly adopted,—deelaring themselves "an
integral portion of the great' Anglican
communion under one Divine Head, in
the fellowship of one Holy Catholic
and Apostolic church, holding one
faith, revealed in Holy writ and de,
fined in the creeds of the primitive
church in the `first four ecumenical
councils." In brief, the Church of
England in Canada from ocean to oc-
eanle now onei � ,
n o g nit- Unity, under
one General Synod -Massing jurisdict-
ion all the E isco e
ron o l� . p l churches
throughout the Dominion, but reserv-
ing In to diocesan synods their former
rights and powers in respect to local
matters and leaving to provincial - sy-
nods
3''
nods the power to retain or abolish
their present jurisdiction as they loaf
see fit. We have no doubt that the
step now taken -which is on the prin-
ciple or basis of the civil confederation
of the Dominion of Canada—will result
in a wider extension, of the Church
and furthering the educational and
spiritual interests of the six hundred
thousand members and adherents en-
trusted to her care.
