Now if Mr Sol. White, M. P., the openly avowedannexationist,only hap- , pened to be a Grit, wouldn't he catch it from the Conservative press. If Canada does not secure something in the nature of Commercial union be- fore long, the feeling in favor of an- nexion, with all its objectionable fea- tures, will become so strong that nothing an(stop it. -. "Horses can hardly be sold at any price," is the experience of farmers at auction sales this fall. And why? Because the Canadian market is glut- ted, and access to the American mar- ket can only be had at a heavy rate of duty. Some papers are advocating "free school books" for children. It would no doubt be very nice if the govern- ment were to provide books for all who want them, but the government has gone about as far as it should in the iberality of its educational policy. The members of the Cabinet may bury their heads in the sand all they like, and try to convince themselves that the people are still in sympathy with the N.P., but if they were to take an honest expression of the sentiments) of the people they would receive a rude awakening from their fancied secur- ity. One of the worst features in our political organization is the fact that a Ivan defeated at the polls -told that his services are not desired -can yet retain his position in the Ministry and draw his salary, in defiance of public sentiment, as is done by Hon. John Carling. We doubt if any other coun- try under the sun would tolerate such a thing. Murphy, of Larkin, Connolly fame, has gone back to New York to live, and.. tells a reporter there of the Sway in which they manipulated contracts, with the aid of the Langevin crowd. He boasts of spending $6,500 in one election in Quebec, paying $20 to $30 for votes, which must have been for the Conservative candidate,as that was the side he was working os. The Liberals of London have made a plucky fight in trying to secure a thorough revision of the Dominion Voters' List. The Revising Barrister, sustained by the County Judge, refus- ed to hear 600 appeals entered by the Liberals, on the ground that the notice served was improper. The Court of Queen's Bench at Toronto, has decided that the appeals must be heard. An act that gives rise to so many uncer- tainties as this one does cannot be abolished too soon. We have before taken the ground that any man can be unseated under the existing election law, even though the candidates be not aware of wrong doing, and this finds an illustration in East Bruce, where Mr Truax, Liberal, is unseated because a supporter of his hired a livery rig in which to drive a voter to the polls. We do not say the law should be repealed, but it shows what a trifling thing will upset an election. In a previous car the judge held that the hiring of a livery rig was not a corrupt act, the same being, to all intents and purposes, the property of the individual for the time. The Consumer's Benefit. That the Canadian consumer is get- ting the benefit of the Government's free sugar policy is apparent from the revenue returns. The duty collected during theast four months on im- ports is $01,863,716 less than dur- ing the similar period last year. That money reposes in the vest pock- ets of the people, because it was a re- venue tax on raw material. -Empire. It is wonderful that the Empire would admit even this much. If the money remained in the "vest pocket of the people," -which is quite true -it proves that had the duty been on, it would not have remained, but have gone to pay duty. If it is an advan- tage to the consumer to save money instead of paying it for duty, .as most people think it is, why not remove the duty on other articles, even though the etistotil Collections fall short. Encouragement r>kei e,. Certain papers' even; beyond those that advocate Inoperial Federation, have flattered themselveti, that some. title or other Great Britain will return, to the principles o#. proteetion. It has been asserted, on the other hand, over $nd over again, that England would ;haver go back to protection, and no ipi3 a person than Lord Salisbury has -e"ontirmed this in a speech he delivered a few days ago, wherein he said :- "I have no doubt that the commeir- cial community of this country does not falter in its attachment to Free Trade ; and I do not ascribe to any special virtue in that respect, be- cause the fact that the articles with respect to which we should havetoexer- cise Protection,<if we exercised it at all, are mainly arcticles of first con- surnjition, bearing upon the necessities of the whole body of our population, is, in my belief, an absolute guarantee that we shall never return to the ways of Protection." The imperial Federationists or Pro- tectionists are welcome to all the con- solation they can derive from this statement. York County council has petitioned the Ontario Government to adopt the "salary" system instead of the "fee" system in payment of sheriffs, regis- trars,etc. The Government investigat- ed this question some time ago, and much to our surprise, decided that the fee system was the most satisfactory, The people do not regard it so, at any rate, and the government would strengthen itself by making a change which must come sooner or later, The Home Market. The Canadian Manufacturer gives the following, which it oalls "A Pointpr, too Farmers": "The wider the home market the better the prides for farm products. Where the home market is small prices for farm products are also small." This is a splendid argument in favor of freedom of trade between Canada and the United States. Take the farmers of Kent, Essex and Lambton as examples. Their best home market for perishable produce would be Detroit. The farmers of Elgin could find a partial outlet for the same class of products in Cleveland. The farmers of Haldimand and Welland would profit if they had the market of Buffalo open to them as well as the market to be found in Toronto, London and Hamilton. And so on along the whole line. The home market idea is good; but it is absurd to carry it to the length of preventing Cana- dians from engaging in profitable trade with their nearest neighbors. "But would it be profitable?" we are sometimes asked. Without e, doubt. No trade takes place unless there are two parties to it, and the exchange is effected because each party believes there is a profit in it. That is all there is in international commerce. Contested .Elections. The number of petitions entered against members returned at the last general elections was 110, or just about one-half of the whole number of re- presentatives. Of these 40 were against Conservatives, while against Liberals 64 petitions were filed. The courts have been busy with these oases since Parliament was prorogued, and already 28 of them have been disposed of, with the following result: - LIBERALS UNSEATFD. Jas. Trow, South Perth, Ont.

It is generally ekpected that the petitions in many other cases will not be proceeded with, but more than a score of by elections are certain to be held before the next session of Parlia- ment. As, however, all the new con- tests are to take lilaee upon the revis- ed voters' lists, it is unlikely that any writs will be issued much before the new year.

SEPARATION. 2'o the Editor of the ()Union New Era. Sia,--& reply from Bible Student 't owe In .these respegts." "Abominably bad former communication of my own, eh beyond a doubt that I wee right in my oonjeoture, that this correspondence was comn;eneed and carried on by one or more of "the Brethren." Were I wrong, Bible Student would have said so, and failing that evidenoe, the heartless uncharitable- ness that characterizes bis remarks is proof enough. For, let the reader notice, that because I differ from him in underetanding Scripture, because I believe him to be wrong, and, therefore, will not let Ms letters in a public paper stand uncorrected, un- ohalleoged by me, then I am "doing Satan's worli." There was a class of men on the earth at the time oar Lord visited it, who styled Him "Beelzebub." These were but the prototypes of some wt meet with in these clays. It is passing strange that here we find a few people, who take upon themselves to tell anyone who disagrees with thorn in their belief, interpretation, call it what you will, that in so doing they are "fighting the truth, doing Satan's work, accusing the Brethren," eto., etc. Can self -complacency, pride, bigotry go further? I don't think so! Bible Student complains that I do not meet the passages he quotes, nor attempt to show they do not not mean what they say. It would be futile to attempt to prove Scripture does not mean what it says. But I contend that these passages do not mean what Bible Student says they do. The whole trouble oonsisti in trying to adapt a state of things necessary in the first century and first. century surround- ings, to the nineteenth century. Your correspondent seems partial to classical quotations, so I might here suggest, "Tem- pora mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis." Will anybody tell me there is consistency and commonest sense, in a man sending his children to a school, and yet refusing to contaminate himself by voting who shall be trustee? Pharasaical again -straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. And yet, if your readers can believe it, this has been done, and very probably is being done in this town by some of the Brethren to- day. If it is wrong to vote, keep away from the school. Again, a man advantages in all the work done by mayor, councillors, ed 8, n- i a- 11 or n, e b Y d inst.,was an item headed "Tesoblers' Ap- plioatione, 'from, which Iquote ae follows:-- "The writing is in eome oases abominably bed, the spelling outrageous, while F wof u,i ignorance is displayed concerning the gen- eral principles, of capitalization, and the wonder is that the authors of such care- less applications could ,hold their positions a Ina profession which .demands .00rreetness clerk, policeman, etc. Any by-law pass by them he benefits by. Streets, sidewalk lighting, protection, any and every adva tage possibly to be derived from their 1 bore, this man shares in, and yet ho wi not interest himself eufiiciently to vote f what he considers an upright capable ma Bible Student suggested I might use th words "what folly." They come in ver appropriately right here. Carry this absur theory out to its conclusion. Suppose a case of some Brethren founding a settle- ment of their own, like the Mormons, for instance, or Quaker -nobody in a certain section, but Brethren. How would they run the affair? Would it run itself? Who would serve tables? Why the very Apostles voted, or oast lots, for one to take the place of Judas! The position assumed by Bible Student is simply this. If he believes what he says, he should go into a commu- nity of his own, and he and other kindred spirits should enjoy to the fall the conveni- ences of letting things take care of them- selves. Or, if he eleots to stop here, he should do his duty by his fellow man in his station in life, lend a helping hand at least in all things he directly benefits from, for- sake what is not Christ -like, but self-in- dulgent ease, and show forth his belief by charity towards all-chality, which is greater than all things, not excepting hope or faith. One reference•more to Bible Stu- dent's letter, and I have finished. And I do this to ?how the writer himself that he does nob know what he writes about. He distinctly says in the second paragraph of his letter, speaking of the failures among the Brethren, that there may yet be great- er failure, shyypjrld not God prevent! Is this the teach of the Brethren? Is this the abyss of bewilderment they have fallen into? Will they one and all support this anonymous . writer in such uneoriptural teaching by their silence, or will one, for the rest, publicly reprove such error, or will they leave it to one' of the uncircumcised alone to cry out against such perversion. Should not God prevent 1 Then God al- lowed, is responsible for all the failures we have hitherto witnessed, and without He interposes, we may see greater. I always understood the Brethren taught Free Agency! I commend Bible Student to a careful study of the first chapter of James' Epistle and 13th verse, especially the latter portion, "God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man."

There is a strong tendency to magnify communications in. tended for the public eye, and when some; Listen to theChristmasBells little failure is discovered in a person, make cause, or institution, this failure frequently they -ring to many glad .Land merry hearts. assumes tremendous proportions, and ex• pands into a very black cloud through whioh no relieving gleams can penetrate. So, my dear teachers, I cannot free my mind from the impression that a strong indictment has been served upon you be- cause of some insiguiboant slips. 1 can scarcely believe that arfy'of you should be so "wofully ignorant" and "abominably careless," granting that the hand writing was so bad. If the bolding of your posi- tion depended upon your style of hand writing, you would certainly have to go, no matter what your other qualifications might bo, and so would a good many much higher in the profession than you. You migbt, however, comfort yourselves with the thought that such noted ohar- aoters as the following were poor writers: - Byron, Carlyle, Garibaldi, Nelson, Victor Hugo and Bonaparte; and even Gladstone and Tennyson cannot lay any claim to their present greatness on this score. But these worthies did not teach writing. You do. Do you see the difference? You are a teacher. Do you fully comprehend your owngreatnese? Yonare a scisntist,an arith- metician, a man or woman of belles- lettres, perhaps you know one or two languages besides your own, and can lec- ture upon temperance, hygiene, surgery, physiology and anatomy, like a profession al M. D. In political economy and his- tory yon have read extensively, and in mental and moral philosophy, you are a philosopher. In fact you are the person in the commonwealth, who knows,or should, almost everything. And then to fail in making a common application to the Pub- lic school Board of the town of Clinton! No wonder that language too strong can. not be found to express the undisguised amazement and sorrow of the public, as they view such palpable errors, on the part of teachers. So the writer of the tem quoted from has held you up to the scorn of the public. We must repeat again that we are slow to believe what has been stated. Yours, A READI1>r. [The NEw ERA does not object tocritic'em y any means; on the ccntrary, it is rather leased to get it. But we see no reason for re- eding from the position taken.

DEAR SIa,-It was not my intention, when questions were asked as to the mean- ing of certain Scriptures, to write about them, bat Bible Student's last letter rather compels me, in the interest of troth, to ask him to be good enongh,let,to give an answer As to the assumption that St. Paul di- vided humanity into three classes, when he wrote let Cor. x, 32 -which is no more than a counsel of courtesy to every one. Also, will he explain verses 27 and 33 of the tenth ohapter. 2nd. To give us some more reasonable exposition than anything we have yet had from Bible Student, of the expression "Come out and be separate." 3rd. To tell ne if it is "endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace," to separate from other Christiana bebanse of difference of opinion as to (1st) the interpretation of some Scripture hard to understand; (2nd) what public life a Christian may devote himself or herself to, when the end is pure and the pursuit pure. (3rd.) Or what amusements -if any -are allowed or disallowed. 4th. To give as something more than the theorizing underlying these expressions, "Chriat did not come to set aside the state of things that existed under the Jewish economy, to overthrow their Government, whioh was in principle theocratio. He wonld have the Jew to render to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. . . . The line of separation betwen saint and sinner, prior to the promulgation of the Gospel (by the way, did not Christ preach the ospel?) had not been drawn, the only dis- tinction being that of Jew and Gentile." Because, where, in the New Testament is itsaid, plainly or by reasonable implication, that any of our Saviour's teaching is not distinctly and emphatically intended for His followers, that ie, His Church, created and formed by the Holy Ghost ? An answer to these questions will much oblige ONE OF "THE BRETHREN." Clinton, Nov. 23. TEACHER'S ERRORS. To The Editor of the Clinton New Era. DEAR SIR: -In your issue of the 13th NO SARCASM HERE. To the Editor of the New Era. DEAR SIR, -I was so pleased and profited by the perusal of that grand, instructive and noble effort of that noble Gent in your last week's issue, that I could not refrain from writing to tell you how pleased I was. I think I shall go through the rest of life's journey so much happier and so much wiser, because his arguments were so con. vencing, and his logic so concise and pro- found, that I thfnk his opponents will never be able to raise their heads again, and especially the Rev. Mr MoDonagh, he will never dare to open his month again, he will be like Dagen falling flat on his face before his majesty of the fertile pen. Poor McDonagh, I am so sorry for him, ho will feel so bad, and his usefulness will be gond. And behold a Daniel has come to judgment, and if you have a controversy lay it before his genteel majesty, who can withstand nie powerful argument; it will be like chef before the wind, like mist be- fore the summer sun. I amso glad the Daniels are not all dead yet, they are so useful. Don't you think so, Mr Editor? Yon know if it was not for them we would never know anything about images, and what idolitary and worship means, but Gent has made it so ()leer, so plain, so convincing that it is edifying indeed. Now, Mr Editor, if you will be so kind, and oblig- ing as to put this in your paper, so Mr Gent can see it, so he will know what a lot of good he has done, I am sure he will be pleased, but poor, poor MoDonagh, 1 feel for him, but then he is getting old, he will not have to bear it long, and he is good and strong that perhaps he will survive, so good by. INFANT. WHAT WE TAL-KEC ABOUT MAPLE HILL, Nov. 24, 1891. DEAR MR. EDITOR, -Yesterday be- ing a wet day, my olc friend, Neighbor Perennial, came over and spent the afternoon with us. We talked of the prices of hogs, horses and cattle, the probability of a rise in the wheat mar- ket, and the advantages and disadvan- tages of summer fallowing. After two s or three hours on these subjects, I branched off and asked Neighbor P. what he thought of the New ERA'S e invitation to its subscribers, for com- a munications on the leading political questions of the day. "It is no use for us old fellows to ate s tempt to express an opinion in print on these subjects," replied he; "let the younger men, who have more educa- f tion, write to the papers if they like, but you and I better be contented to attend to our farms, for nobody nowa- days wants to hear an 'old hayseed's' views on anything but agriculture." Our new Iine comprises every- thing new, useful and orna- mental. Come and examine them, ascertain the prices and you will find that we are right You should not miss this time and opportunity of contribut- ing towards making somebody happy. No matter how small or trifling the token -no mat- ter how large or valuable the present, we, are prepared to meet your demands, CooperCo. Clinton � II�VI -�' BOOKSELLERS, STATIONERS, and FANCY GOODS DEALERS here, friend Dedfurrow," continued he, "You know that I have seldom voted at all, and when I did, not even you could tell on which side I cast my bal- lot. You, according to your own story, have generally been on the winning side. except since you started voting for Commercial Union, but if you get another chance to vote forr it, you will likely be on the winning side again, for the Grits will soon get into power, now that Sir John has gone over to the majority. The truth is, Tim," (he al- ways called me Tim when he got warmed up) "all that Canada needs is to be let alone. All these nostrums prescribed for her by quack politicians, and by the aid of your votes, choked down her throat, have nearly ruined both her health and morals, and in- stead of a fair and healthy young wo- man, her twenty-first birthday found her a tall, sickly girl, fond of admira- tion, showy dress, and stimulants, and with not too good a character for hon- esty. Let us examine the doses you have helped to give her, Confederation forced her into premature growth, and undermined her health; the C. P. R. corrupted her morals, the N.P. emptied her pocket book, stagnated her blood, weakened her bone and sinew, injured her eyesight, checked the action of her vital organs, and impoverished her whole system; the Scott Act was a remedy she would not take according to directions, and soon refused alto- gether; and now this last specific, Commercial Union, which you want to cram down her neck, will destroy her last vestige of pride, and turn her out on the streets, selling her honor for dollars and cents. Poor, foolish old Britannia! she has walked in many slippery paths herself, and has encour- aged some of her eldest daughter's frailties, condoned some, and laughed at others, but is not yet prepared to see her become a slave of Uncle Sam." f Without giving me time to reply, Neighbor Perennial reached for his hat and cane, said good evening, and start- ed for hone. He is a good neighbor, and an honest man, but takes strange view of many things. I have given his ideas as well as I could, and my on, who goes to High School, has corrected the spelling in this letter, and doctored up some of the shaky ententes, so as to make it more pre- entable. No more at present from your sub- criber, TIMOTHY DEDFURROW. P.

"And how much have you benefitted yourself or anybody else by all your voting, and the everlasting interest you have taken in public affairs?" queried Neighbor P.
