The first annual meeting of, the.
Clinton board of trade was held on
Friday evening last in the council
chamber. There was a very fair at-
tendanccf After the reading and con-
Urination of minutes the President,
Mr. John Ransford, addressed the
Board as follows :
• "On this our first annual meeting
it is with pleasure that I congratu-
late yon upon the prosperous con-
dition of the hoard of•- trade in our
town, We have a membership of 54;
we have a balance at. the eredit of
our bank account ; •we shall 'not re-
quire so far as we know any subscri-
ption to bo paid the coming year and
we are working harmoniously to-
gether far the public good. In look-
ing over the first year's work there

is not very much t rem fid' you <a
One good that we have accomplished,
;for the town is, having approached
the Grand Trunk and shown to the
management reasons sufficiently wei-
ghty for their establishing a: titorn-
'ing train .at 10.15 to Goderich and a
return train n t ain leaving at 5 p. ni. any-
body now wisning to transact busi-
noss• in, the county. town' and return
the same day can do so. Not only
is this the case' • but the . two trains
in question have been running hither-
to .with .a punctuality that is asfpie-
easing as possibly itis novel. •
The other matter and the principal
matter that we 'have been concerned
with during the .past year was• the
question of;. Local Option. As you
well know this . matter, was sprung:
upon the town and the board of tr-
ade promptly: took .tl:e smatter up ,and
decided almost unanimously that it.
would be adverse.,:to':our ,best inter,

Through your president you present

Local'Optionists :have held what they
called a mass meeting inthe town
hall,•, which was' addressed 'by clergy
and ' one • of the medical fraternity:
The clergy repudiated the charges :of

conclusion to what is a very groat
danger as regards the action of the
council in this matter, and I refer to
their contempt of majority. People
niay view - this question how they
like but the fact remains that the
WW1 council paid attention to the
voice of 290 and turned down the
voice of 260, One eminent Councillor
has been heard to say that we gave
no reason, that we gave no arg;u-
• rnenif for rescinding the first motion.
I ask - you if there was no argument
in thirty of a majority, no ar tment
in the :Substitution of business men

contempt is reported to have used
these words : "The People Must .Be
Supreme." It seems to me the
council was supreme and the people
counted for nothing. But there is a'
reason for this, gentlemen, as• far as
I, eau. gather. It is to be. found in
the - letter of a clergyman in
this town' published in the local pa-
pers yesterday,' If you will pardon
my quoting from his, letter he says :
"lt -is a recogni ted fact that in
things general majorities . should
rule." IIe then goes on to point out
that the country of •India is, ruled by
a minority. I can generally follow
. the reasonings of ,most men but if
you are able to get to the . 'bottom
of this reverend , gentleman's reason-
ing 'all Veen say is that you can do
more than I can. What the . case of
a conquered country being ruled' by
the .conquerors has to do with the
question of today, in a country lila
ours .where we generally decide most
questions by ballot • is beyond file.
The same writer then goes on to
say that he therebyshows fron
his
reference to India that it is only
Within certain limitations that we
can say the voice of. the people is
the voice of God. He then adds that
the voice of. God is" the vole° • of right,
justice, truth and love "and ,whenever,
therefore. 'that voice is recognized,
whether of .a majority or minority,
that voice must be folloWcd. Now,
of course,. I 'am: only' one and I'can
not •see things .as -you would see
them and• possibly you may be able

is only one meaning to be 'attached
•to his language, when you bear the
present case . in mind, and that . is,
that without a shadow of. a .doubt;
this pry for prohibition is the voice
of God, and• therefore in this :' ease
the, minority must he followed, :' or •

where the ' orders come from . in this

It would lookastbough'the. orders

ple at the head of this: so-called tem-

- sewhere - 'to, raise.• the cry of Local

cut , from the . Globe,of the Local
Option meeting in Toronto the other
