Ere another week. rolls around •Christmas will have come and gone By the time these liner, reach cur read - era, they will be en jeying in family groups the festivities of this jayous season of Christmastide. What world- wide changes have passed over this •earth since thattime when angels her• aided the birth of a world's Saviour, and shepherds on Bethlehem.s plains ,hearer the angelic chorus sing "Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, goodwill to the children of glen." The natiorty of Christ masks the beginning of a new era in the world's: history. Modern chronology is reckoned from that event. It was then the year -1 A.D. Nearly two thousand years have rolled by since then—and Christianity has fully vindicaed its claim to uni- versal acceptance, by its mental and moral enlightenment of the nations, by its culture of the fine arts, by its ele yatio t t of woman a to her true social status, by its abolition of slavery, by its conyersion of heathen tribes front idolatry and caTinabalism and infanti- cide, by raising' the poor and laboring classes from the serfdom of slaves to the dignity of freemen, and by im- pressing on mankind the true idea of humanity in the abrogation of caste and all untrue riyalryof distinction be- tween rich and poer, ;'between aristo- cracy' and plebeians. rhe world has come to see, slowly we. admit, the truth of that catholic sentiment once uttered on •Mars' Hill by the great apostle of the Gentiles, that 'God hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell Upon all the face of the earth." In the spread of the hamar] race oyer• all the earth—in the extending of ci} ilizing and cultered influences among many different nations—in- the increase of the means of communication, by the invention of the printing -Press and steam engine; and by the discovery of the telegraph and telephone, nien in different hemispheres can now hold daily correspondence with each other; and, not to speak of the ,circulation of the Biblein `three :hundred different languages or dialects, and the preach- ing of .the gospel in many tongues, Christianity is wielding a quiet yet untold influence in the councils of the nations that bids fair to inaugurate in the near future a millenium ofuniver sal peace and rigbteonsness. It is meet, then, that the world should hail the arrival of Christmas,—when the event which it commemoratesis the source froth whence has sprung the world's modern culture, civilization, and improvement. The laborer ,feels happy in having such a day"of rest as Christmas affords, The poor are'hap13- in sharing the bounties 01 a benevolent Christian publKat this joyous season. The children -are happy in the visits of time-honored Santa Clans in filling the traditional stocking. The: parents are happy in knowing that the little ones are made happy. And in the same spirit of universal gladness we extend to all our readers the joyous greeting of a Happy Christmas! PREMIER MO f1'AT'S''LL'TTER.. The political atmosphere of Canada has been much' disturbed of late by the. publication of a second letter by Prem- ier Mowat -addressed this time to the Hon. Alex. MacKenzie. It was Sol. White's announcement of a public meeting in Oxford County, to ventilate .annexation, which called forth the On- tario Premier's first letter -addressed to his associate representative for Ox- ford in the Provincial Legislature, Mr. Mowat very natural took I y 001 the alarm at ar0 agandist mission set ageing l? P a b a :in his own county- in the direction of annexation, His sentiments adverse ato sueh a movement have been eudors- eed not only by the Empire and other sensible Conservative journals, but by many Liberal newspapers as well, It :is satisfactory to find.' the Ontario Premier coming out boldly to voice the sentiments of Canadians . generally as to their loyalty to British institut- ions; thus rebaking a section of the Liberal party who have favored an- nexation as the natural outcome of a trade policy whi" wortli discriminate against Great Britain, and thus ] mper- 11 our political connection with the Motherland. The Toronto Gracie, which ,maintainedan ominous and craven silence before, hasr been reliictantlyy t:om erred to Heti • • p colIr.1lowatsletter; ,and in doing so has accepted Allege the, n -ef battle, between the sprpathizers of the Cartrilg hG Vnn ii party a nailOSG loyal Liberals who, 11,c the la 0g C I,: and 'd� as 1 Ilro�17, nr I: s r Blake and Alex, 'McKenzie, stood up for British 01l0e0. boli and to, oppose Arnim:tion, There are just two main points that consti tote the burden of Premier lMowat's last letter,•, 1st, The importance of main- taining our present British connection, both as a matter of national sentiment and as expedient in the interests of one trade, more especially in view of an enlarged and preferential policy of trade with the Empire; and 2nd, • the yie•ws expressed by Mr. Mowat on Un- restr•ioted Reciprocity. With regard to the first point, we have no quarrel with Mr. Mowat. IIis views aro those which have been all along advocated by the Conseryatrve party, and special- ly emphasized for years by the late lamented Premier of Canada. But it is regrettable that the Ontario Premier telt himself so tied and bound by the chain of party predilections as to favor. what he calls '`a fair measure of unre- stricted reciprocity." He admits that the Liberals do not want unrestricted reciprocity at the peke of annexation And it would seem that the prospects of a return of the Liberal party to power have been, in Mr. Mowat's opin- ion, seriously damaged by the publi- cation of Mr, Blake's letter and by the advocacy of American sentiments by such men as Whim'', Cartwright and Falter. It cannot be denied that the policy and sentiments of those. last named politicians are diametrically op_ posed to the sentiments of the late George Brown, and to the recently ut• tered views of Edward Blake and AIex Mackenzie. There is no getting over the fact that, according to the Globe and its sympathizers, political aural• gamationwith the United States is r openly advacated as the necessary out- come of free. trade. Mr. Wi ten, who is the father of Unrestricted: Reciproc- ity, has declared on oath that "in ten years the American'element in Canada would so increase as to change our po-, li flea l connection entirely." 'Leading Ainerican statesman have said the sable. • Certain leading politicians in Canada have taken the same ground. Sir Richard Cartwright has openly de- clared that U. R. involves .anti-British diserlmination. Mr. Blake retired from his party because 'the, policy implied the giving up of British donnection• And for Mr. Mowat'to pretend that the Liberal party can hold together by ad- vocating British conrleetion and"a fair measure of unrestricted reciprocity," is to ask them to come down between two stools. The theory •of W iman &, Co• nears uniformityof tariffs diserimi nation against England,—increase of taxation front 3o to Go percent—the sacrifice• of our present connection— and the lass of all that prestige` which would result from a united British Empire and the adoption of a •preferen- tial fiscal policy common to all portions: of the Queen's dominions.
