U� the day was lecturing in New
York in favor of prohibition. One
of the listeners was a vacant looking
young man who seemed to have suf.
Aoieut power of imitation transmit.
it( :ted to him from his long•taited an•
*castors to ape fhb English dude:
Whenever the lecturer made a point,
the young luau would lisp, "Bah
$ova, that's so, but his, " -referring to
thespeake►',"his pants are too short."
Or, "I can't dispute that, but, gwa-
tcious heviugs, how can a wan who
who wears a shooting jacket when
on the platform have argument on
,his side." Or, "It seems true but I
can't believe it because the speaker
wears long hair." Aud so on. The
young wen felt the force of the facts
.and the logic of the speaker, diut
would nut be convinced because the
speaker wore short pants, a shouting
jacket and lung hair.
COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL
UNION.
[The following letter by,jt}r. John Kermighan,
of Colborne township, do Q.eredit to the heart
cud head of the writer. It i .refreshing hi these
-days of partisanisin to find'' clear-headed, loyal
Reformer haring the nns ness to define the
,present position of the p,rty,.that assumes to be
.the Reforui party with whitQWhe has been allied
.for forty years_ One carYrisadily understand
that nothing save pure patrUttisin and loyalty
could have induced Mr. 1{ernigban to so cruelly
dear the mask from the faces qf his former allies
.and exhibit them th all the hideousness of
traitors to British connection. We have a know.
ledge of Mr. Kernighan during the past forty
years and his action is in harmony with the esti-
. ,mate all have had of him fur honesty and loyalty.
He has properly laid down his Premises and
logically deduced from them that commercial
union weans annexation.—Ew1.Oa I
(To the Editor of the 'Fitness.)
Stn,—Two Tatters in reference to
the trade between Canada and the
West Indies, written' by" W. 'T.," of
Savanna, Jamaica, have been pub.
.lished lately in the Witness. You
not only preface these letters with
very litudatory remarks, but edi-
torially di' ct the attention of your
readers to zeal. From these facts
we may ren onably conclude that the
f e writerhave your
sentiments h i
b t.1
approval. In the last of these
letters the following sentences occur:
"'lam watching the future of Canada
with great interest. 1 feel sure you
must soon ba commercially allied to
the United States, after which polite
cal alliance is,.inevitable. 1 should
like to see my friends in Canada
clear their minds of the cant of
loyalty,- end, like honest men, say
what they mean, that 'they will adopt
those measures which will add to
their material wealth."
There is one thing about this
writer that I admire yery much, and
that is his frankness, a quality which
----many—others—who----many—others—who<held-.,.the,-awns
views would do well to adopt. His
first statement that commercial union
would inevitably lead to political
union is what has been contended
all along by Conservative leaders and
newspapers and as constantly de-
nied by their opponents, but that it
is correct no honest man who takes
the trouble to examine the matter
will deny. His next statement is
that the profession of loyalty on the
part of his friends in Canada is
'cant,' which I understand to be the
profession of opinions or views which
-we do not really feel, although, as he
asks his friends to clear their minds
•of the cant of loyalty it would appear
to be a principle that they really do
not hold and cannot, therefore, cor•,
redly be called cant.
His next statement is that "they
Li. e. his friends] will 'adopt those
measures which will add to their
material wealth."
It has been constantly assumed by
the advocates of commercial union
that the adoption by Canada of that
measure would have that effect, but
it is merely an assumption and is
incapable of proof. Let that pass,
however, for the present, while I
ask: Is there one code of morality
for individuals and another for com-
munities ? --In what estimation are
those men'held who adopt dishonor-
able callings, for example, saloon-
keepers, bucketshop-keepers and
such like, for the purpose of adding
to their material wealth? ef need
not answer these questions, but I
.ask : Can it be right for a people to
barter their national honor merely
for material wealth ? I am sure the
Witness will not answer "yes," but I
ask you to look at the logical se-
s;;quence of the writer's arguments
which you laud so highly. They are:.
Commercial union leads to annexa-
tion and annexation leads to material
wealth; therefore, commercial union
should be adopted forthwith by the
people of Canada.
I can understand and sympathize
with an individual who honestly pre-
fers the constitution, the laws and
customs and tone of society of the
United States to those of Canada.
in his desire to bring about the
annexation of this country to the
United States, but 1 feel nothing but
contempt for the Canadian who would
sell his country merely for dollars
and cents.
I wish to point out what I consider
the inconsistent position of the Wit-
ness upon this matter, and I would
say, first, that I have been a constant
and admiring subscriber to the Wtt•
nese for many yeah, and whenever I
am asked to name a thoroughly im-
partial and independent newspaper
I give the name of the Witnessi and
it is for this reason that I seek to
point out any inconsistency. In the
same issue of the Weekly Witness in
which the letters referred to appear,
there is an editorial article headed
_-.-, "Canada's. ionstrtutlishnr. Iif-whie'h
the writer speaks of the "wicked"
allegations of the Conservative press
as 4 politicians (pyK which the, ZEberel
• leaders and their auppprtersa mita-*
Bering ons,,half of the pepple of the
Rb4luibn, were repree uted as
traitors, seeking to sever the Dormin-
loxi from Great Britain, and have it
included with the United States.
Now, here ore the steps ;—" ?V.
T." says that commercial union :in.
evitably leads to political union, and
in this Ito is supported by such au.
thorities as the Son. E. Blake and
the Hon. A. Mackenzie. As we all
know, commercial union is the one
plank in the present Liberal plat.,
form. The writer in the Witness says
(inferentially) that they are traitors
who seek to sever the Dominion from
Great Britain, and as commercial
union is admitted to produce that
result, I cannot see how it can be
"wicked" on the part of the Conserv.
vative leaders and politicians to say
what is Chas proved to be true.
I make the charges, and I chat.
lenge contradiction that the present
leaders of the Liberal party have
entirely changed the traditional
policy of that party, and have placed
their followers in the humiliating
position of having to protest their
loyalty, although I believe the mass
of the Reform party to be loyal at
heart bath to the Empire and Can-
ada as a part of that empire.
In conclusion I would say for my,
self ; for nearly forty years 1 have
voted for the Liberal candidates, and
I even did so at the last election,
though sorely against my will, but it
is the last Reform vote I shall give if
our leaders persist in advocating a
policy whose admitted result is the
"severing the Dominion from Great
Britain and including it in the United
States." JOHN KERN►OHAN•
