The Toronto correspondeut of the
Montreal Winless, referring to the re-
cent election iu East Northumberland,
says :-
"We are told, on the one hand,
that this is a sign of the commercial
union movement being on the wailer
and ou the other, that the defeat is due
to local divis:ons in the Liberal ranks
over the exercise of Government patron-
age in the riding. It is hard to arrive
at the precise truth in cases of this
kind, but those who rush to the conclu-
sion that the desire of the farmers for
free, trade with the United States is
growing less will probably find them-
eelves before long in a fool's paradise.
With very favorable opportunities of
finding oat just what the farmers o:
different parts of the Province 'wily
' think about the question, I feel strongly
convinced that the desire for free trade
with the United States is very wide-
epread and deep seated, and that it is
growing rather than toeing in strength.
Such a commercial condition may be
beyond their reach, or it may , be less
favorable to them than they think, but
they want it, and when they feel the
desire !strongly enough to make them
unite in demanding it they will get it.
They Lev° elites enough to control the
trade penes/ of the country."
We are quite satisfied that a great
3.0any farmers are in favor of increasing
our trade relations with the United
States. And we know that the number
of these is on the increase, but it is
quite evident that the great body of
ellen' are not yet sufficiently convinced
of • the advantages df Commercial Union
Ito persuade them to vote for it in pre-
ference to anything else. In thin re-
spect we think they are standing in
their own light, for the more the matter
Is calmly investigated the more clearly
docs it become, to us at least, a policy
that Would be of immense advantage to
the country as a whole, and to the
farmers irgpartienlar.
Those opposed to Commercial Union

guise, but such an assertion carries with
it no proof. And eve* if it wereeve do
riot think that Annexation would be de-
trimental to the Commercial interests
of Canada. Many of our largest menu-
faeturere adoiit their ability and will-
ognesst emepete with the Americans
on an s• mat footing, and allege that if
Nee de ore get Commercial Cniou they

several features, however, about An-
ocentioe, thet make it. deeidedly ob-
;eetionable.
Canadian metiers, the whole, are
perhaps better oft' than the sante num-
ber of American -farmers, and this is
due to fact that in all parts of Canada
farming can embrace all classes of cul-
tivationOdell is not true of the United
States, as a whole. where farmers in one
section rtre restricted to certain pro.

market which in many instance s they
now pay a toll to enter. Notwithstand-
ing the distorted assertions to the con-
trary, the United States is "the natural
market" for a very large portion of our
agricultural products and will be more
so as time rolls on. Erigland will take

veloped, until its scope became almost
beyond control, and the flames were

when the students made a grand rush

got out without a great deal of difficulty,

The fire is supposed to have originated
from a lamp or from a spark from a pipe,
though nothing certain is known. The
loss will be a severe blow to the College,
owing to the season of the year.
• Another offer , for the settlement of
the difficulity in the Methodist Church
here has just been made. This time
the initigive comes from the supporters
of Mr Coiling in Simcoe, or rather two
of them. At a meeting of the Trustees
held on Tuesday evening, Mr John B.
Carpenter, the only member of the
Board who champions Mr Colling's
cause, on behalf of himself and Mr
Richard Smith offered to pay onett alf
of the debt now upon the church on
condition that the congregation would
immediately raise the balance and re-
ceive Mr Colling. Of course this cone.
promisewas politely but firmly deolined.
Under ordinary circumstances sub-
scriptions of something over one thou-
sand dollars each from Mr Smith and
Mr Carpenter would be generous and
worthy of commendation, but they
made a grave error in imagining that
the eleven gentlemen on the 'Board of
Trustees who do not see eye to eye with
them would compromise a matter of
principle for a specified sum, bartering
tl eir self respect at so many dollars per
head. in a few more weeks or months
at latest we hope to learn that Mr
Colling and his friends will have be-
come satisfied that nothing but his un-
conditional removal will meet the ideas
of the Methodists of Siam° and that
until his coat-tails and plug hat disap-
pear finally over the Air Lino Station
