To the Editor of TnE P0sm.
DE.te Sm. ---I was somewhat amused to
read a resurrection of Iling Dodd's argu•
meuls, which havo boon answered a soon
of times, in your last issue over the signa-
ture of Another Ratepayer. Ho eaye the
Legislature has no right to pass a law to
interfere with what men know to be their
natural rights, 1 will propound a few
questions Tor Ratepayer to answer :—I
own a farm, the railroad wants right of
way over 11 but I refuse to eels, It ie ray
property, but for the public good I am
pushed aside and am forced to take what
arbitrators award me. Is that right 2 A.
butcher boys diseased meat and although
purchasers would buy, the Inspector con-
fiscates it. Ie that right? 1 own a lot on
Main street and commenco ereobing afranle
building. I receive orders not to continue
building and the first thing I know Iam ar-
rested for building on my own lot. Is that
right ? I delight in lire arms and purchase
a revolver, but the authorities arrest me
and line me 520. Is that right 7 Batepay-
er must suroly know that our laws are pas-
seclior the good of the people at largo and
if be has never yet learned that strong
drink is a curse to thousands of homes it is
a strange thing. I hope he will never feel
the woo fell by many a family, In this
world wo often have our rights infringed
on but because it is for the public good we
submit with as much grace as possible.

Editor Poem.
DEAR Sm.—Seeing au advortisemeut in
the last issue of your paper headed "Small-
pox," I think rt only right on behalf of my-
self and other merchants, to say a few words
respecting euch an impolitic article, which
oan only tend to hurt the business of not
only the writer but every merchant in town.
Even supposing that any goods have came
from Montreal thore is not the remotest fear
of any infection from the fact that not a
single ease of smallpoxis known to exist in
any wholesale house in the city of Montreal.
It is plain to be seen what the writer of the
article wishes to convey to the public that
his own goods aro free from the disease
whilst other merobante goods ere infected
with it. I did not really think any business
man would resort to such low, mean, dirty
tricks to carry out his own selfish ends.
To show further the trickery of this man,
every reader of Tnn Poem will see, on read-
ing hie advertisement, after he gets through
with the Small Pox scare or what I may
call the ridiculous, he at once plunges into
the sublime and tells you he has "Arcades
of Velvets, Silks and Satins, Forests of
Birds, Flowers and Feathers," in fact such
a lot of elaborate talk which I was confident
his small amount of braille could not be
possessed of. Imagine my surprise on
finding he had stolen it from a Stratford
paper. Anybody who reads the Stratford
Beacon will there doe Williameou'e adyer-
tisement, which this preoious specimen of
purity has copied almost word for work,
and wants to palm it off on the public here
as bis own production. I would strongly
recommend my friend in future if he wauts
to use other people's brains to go further
away from home and would advise him also
to stop his trickery and do hie business in a
manly straightforward way,
advt. F. C. Romans.
