The Boston Transcript of a late date publishes au article which, will be read with interest by all Canadi- tsns, bearing, as rt does, on the dis- cussion now in progress concerning the possibility and advisability of annexation. As an evidence of the state of publio sentiment in et least a portion of the Ai ieiican republic, it is valuable. The article fol- lows : - The public has been entertained of late with a description of the many advantages Nev England, and Boston in particular, would gain by the annexation of Canada to the United•States, but suppose Canada does • not desire annexation, the question has arisen iu the minds uf many New Englanders whether it would not let greatly to the advan- tage of New England to return to her former allegiance, rind become a part of that great and glorious em- pire on which the sun never sets. At the ending of the Revolution, Boston was the principal city in the Union, and the largest eity in the new world. New England is the northeast corner of the Union, surrounded on three sides' by the Atlantic ocean and the British provinces. Its trade, commerce and manufacturing interests, during the past twenty- five years, have been steadily declin• ing. Boston, Salem, Newport, New Bedford, Marblehead, Annisquam, Newburyport, Portsmouth, and Portland, can all tell the same talo ; the wharves and warehouses are rotting away, whore once were busy scenes of activity and where the hum of industry was hoard all day long and thousands of men were employed. Tho foreign commerce has entirely disappeared froth these ports, except Boston, and what re- tnains there is scarcely worthy of mention. One time the entire China and East India trade was concentrated in Salem. Now all that remains there is the China end East India Museum. At ono time upward of thirty sail of vessels were owned in Annisquam, where there' is not one at the present time. This can be said of all the other ports. Cotton mills are being eetablish- ed in the South, iron foundries in Ieuusylvanitt and Alabama, glass, fntuiture nncl shoe factories in the West, and New York has secured all our commerce. The address made by ItIr. M. M. Holmes, the first vice-president of the Now Enghtud Furniture Ex- change, at the annual dinner of that association on Saturday last, was one of more than ordinary significance, from the fact that it was only a bold statement of opin- ion on this subject, but that it was received by the assembled members, representing one of the great trade interests of this section of the coun- try, with unstinted applause., Mr. Holmes asserted that the re- presentatives of New England iu Congress had not proved faithful to the trnst imposed upon thein. Our little group of States have no natural resources., We depend for our prosperity upon manufacturing raw materials produced elsewhere. But the great majority pf our repre- sentetives and senators utterly fail- ed to comprehend the limitation that nature itnposee upon us, Penu- svlvania makes one class of de- mands, ,Ohio another, and New England members of Congress con- cede all that is asked, although it is their own constituents whose welfare is thus sacriticed. It is only within a short time that the New England manufacturers have come to a realizing sense of the special burdens unposed upon thein. They have seen iron foundries, glass works, furniture factories and other manufactories, that had in the past given constant employment to thousands of men, abandoned, 'be- come of the unprofitable character of the business,. and •have assumed that it was a natural fatility ; that,. we could not hope to compete with sitnilar industries located in other parts of the country. The disheart erred or bankru.•t manufacturer has looked upon his misfortunes as an act of God, against which no human influence could prevail, and has silently submitted to what seemed to him inevitable destiny. But now it is gradually coming to be per ceived that this hard fate is due, not to Providential dispensation, but to the act of man. That the brithright of New England, the liberty of her people to freely ob- tain those raw comtnodities. upon Which the energy, the skill, and the industry of her people can be employed, has been bartered' away for a moss of political pottage. Tho address of Mr. Holmes struck the keynote of an agitation which is bound to make itself felt in an aggressive manner, the basis of which will be aune:eation to. Cau ada, for a revival of New. England industries in 'opposition to the past tendency, to tamely submit to their transfer to other States with which they are nut geographically allied, 'I'lutt Roston is not only the busi- netts center of the New England States, or at least of five of thein. leaving Connecticut out—but also of the Dominion of Canada, situated to the north and west of the boun dory line between New England and Canada, is one of the facts which need no argument to demon- strate ; it is not only the business center of this vast - territory, but the financial center as well. Tho restrictions of trade with Quebec and the lower Provinces operate greatly against the fullest develop - anent of Boston and New England interests. With annexation of New England to Canada,,talting the Con- necticut river, the Green Mountain and Lake Champlain for the west- ern boundary line. Boston and New England would soon double its present business. But not only would New England have this vast territory, of which Boston is tho commercial' center, but it would have the markets of the world in which to compete fur business. With the iron and coal mines of Nova Scotia situated at its very door to dtaw from, its iron found- ries would commence business again,' It would control the fisher ies, which in 1887 was valued at $20,000,000, Tt would be 'the terminus of the Canadian Pacific railway, connected by steamer from Vancouver to China and Japan. New England need not be ashamed toreturn to her ancient allegiance and belong to an empire which em- braces a fifth of the habitable globe, and to know that the Dominion forms nearly a half of the whole ; an empire five times as large •as that which was under Darius, four thirst the size of ancient Rome, six- teen times graater than France, forty tithes greater titan United Germsry, three times greater than the United States—Australia alone as large as the United States. Canada is 600,- 000 square miles larger than the United States without Alaska, and 18,000 square miles larger with it ; an empire with 9,000,000 square miles, with a population of 310,• 000,000, What hes been said of the com- merce of New England can also be said of its manufacturing interests. There wawa time when New Eng- land was the manufacturing center of the United States, but its former prestige has left it. Its iron mills have been swept out of existence ; its glass factories, furuitnre, shoe and co'ton industries are rapidly disappearing. As an example, in South Boston was established the first, glass factories and the firat iron foundries u -ng Land. They are all closed now. A few years ago there were employed in Algor's Foundry, the Bay State and the Norway Iron Works upwards of three thousand men. All are closed now, except the South Boston Iron Foundry, the successor of Alger's who keeps a few rnen employed in making guns fel. the Government. Within twenty years the revenue of Canada, or consolidated funds, has immensely increased ; her ship- ping in tonnage has more than doubled. Canada standing fifth iu the list of uations, having more vessels than France, Spain Italy or Russia ; and the assets of her hanks, the value of her imports end the extent of her exports, tell the story of her marvelous progress ; while inetead of 2,000 miles railway, as in 1867, she now has 14,000, a greater length of mileage than in any other part of the empire, except the Unit- ed, Kingdom and India. Canada would probably welcome the annexation of New England to the Dominion, but the proposal would have to come from New Eng- land first. The New England States would have to instruot their representatives to request Congress to set them off too, which, of course, the National Government would no more think of refusing than Great Britain would in case Canada re- quested to be annexed to the United States. Then there is no doubt but on petitioning the Canadian Gov- ernment they would be admitted into the Dominion. FARMERS BEING DUPED BY . SHODDY CLOTH PEDDLERS. An old man and his son, farmers, from Westminister, Middlesex, call- ed at the Grigg house, London, and the following conversation between the Manager and the two followed: "Are there two brothers pained Boll stopping here?' "No„ "Have they been here?" "I don't think so." "They were just out from Scot- land, and brought some tweeds with them, which they are selling arouud the country before they go to the States." "Never heard of them before !" "Didu.'t you lend them horses to drive about with the goods?" "We didn't. We only have one horse. and we don't keep that to Tie ud." . "I guess, father," broke in the boy with a grin, "you've been took in this tittle." And thou the 'old man sadly turned away and disap- appeared throught the door. Who the elan was or how he was taken in he did not explain, but a Dorchester man just previous to this told an Advertiser represen- tative a soinowhat similar story. A fresh -faced youth, for all the world looking like a . new arrival from Britain, drove up to his house and asked for him. When he went out the fellow asked: "Dae ye no want a nice peese of Scotch tweed the day" - "Not to -day." "It's the best o' tweed. Yo see ale and me brittle'. are ,jilt out frae. Seatlau', whaur we worked in the tweed factories. Thinkin we might mak' a guitl thing oot of eet wo •brought alaug. the rnakius of a few clans.

It'snice stuff if you want a suit." "No, thanks; I'm fully supplied.' "We're sollin' it of about haf to etanr price. We're freens a' boos- ter Gragg's o' the Gregg House, in Luudon, and ho advised us to tak it out throught the country, and he lant us' hess bosses to drive aroon w i." "I don't want any." • 'Tho man then made inquiries about the people living around, and asked particularly about their nat. Tonality. He wanted to find Scotchmen as much as possible, and report seems to indicate that he and "his blither" has been doing a brisk trade. The stuff which the fanners are paying good prices for is not Scotch tweed, but the veriest shoddy which will not oven stand being made up. The two put on the Scotch brogue for the purpose of working on their fellow-country- nren,and no matter what part of Scotland a man was from they lived only four miles from there for sever- al years and know everyone in it.

The Christliehe Welt contains the following gem taken from au Italian paper published near Naples :-- "Catholic Christians, living in the truth proclaimed by Christ, are never intent on calumniating Protes- tanks. But Protestants calumniate the Catholics in every way. Protes- tants are liars by nature. Each one makes for himself a law which pleases his passions ; by meant of lies they gain access to Catholics. Their throat is au open sepulcher ; with their tonguee they use deceit ; the poison of asps is under their lips; their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness, as is written in Rom, iii ; 13. Protestants are liars when they affirm that the Catholic faith is not that of the Apostles, when they paint black the Ingi1 sition, when they charge the Catholic Church with shedding'blood on St. Bartholomew's night, and with re- voking the edict of Nantes. What the Protestants are is stated by Paul in Rom. 1 : 29. Protestants are to be compared with mad dogs which run through fields and cause mucn danger ; they curse all they do not understand, they are clouds without water; trees without fruit; filthy as waves of the sea; they fly about like a tneteor which rapidly .dis- appears and leaves nothing but darkness; they are teachers of a church founded on polygamy and robbery; their religion is based on murder and treachery; they are enemies of Christ and cynically trample an his religion. What is written, Matt. xxiii : 33, applies to thorn—they are serpents, a genera- tion of vipers. They have no firm doctrine : the teaching 'in London differs from that in Perlin. They believe what they like. and each one acts according to his pleasure. Under their smile they hide the kiss of Judas ; their individual reason is their law. They are. ravenous wolves under the cloak of a lamb. They have spread them- selves by means of the dagger and murder, lies and vices, crime and deception, blood and immorality. This ie a true picture of Protestan- tism. F1'ee froth their devilish art, by means of which they seek. to turn souks away from the Church t." Surely, if Protestants henceforth do not know what they are this journal is not to be accused. But the best is yet to come. The next number of the Same journal says "Martin Luther, the chief origina- tor of the sect of the Protestants,. throughout his entire life sustained the most •intimate relations with the devil, from whorn he received his unhallowed doctrines. The devil slept with Luther, he helped• him in his'studies, and even ate with him. Respecting Calvin and Zwingli, we know similar things. There exists, in recent times, a sect of devil -worshipers, which has no other origin than in the so-called Reformation." ROMANISM TIIE MOTHER OF HARLOTS. • BY J. 13. COLE. Christ spoke plain truths when on earth. Christ's disciples alio spoke plain things. With theta truth was never compromised. Black was called black; a liar was called a liar; a hypocrite was called a hypo- crite, and Rotnanism was called the MOTIIER OF HARLOTS. John the Revelator, with prophet- ic vision lookiug down through the vista of ages, then to come, beheld a power of tyranny ruling over men and woman, and the nations of the earth, terrible to behold. The des- cription ho gives of this vision' is 80 wonderful, we aro at once con- vinced that none other than au in- spired mind could have given it. Ile represents this power that rules nations, as a whore that sitteth upon many waters. It having power over tho King of the earth, (just as Rome had in the Dark Ages), and with whom they shared in their excesses, (fornication). This power John repraecnts as a "Woman arrayed in purple and scarlet colors, and deck- ed with gold and precious stones, (the sane as the Popes of Rome, attired like millionaires and attend- ed with a retinue of female servants by the hundreds,) "having a golden cup in.,her hand, full of abomina- tions,,(abontinable incense) and fil- thiness of her foruicatious" (riches filched from the purses of the King's subjects, whose ruler intrigugd with Roma) "And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus." (Here is depicted a scene something similar to the massacre of St, Bartholomew, where tens of thousands were slain because of' their Bibles, and many other thou- sands at different times beaten with stripes, fastened in the stocks, 'and burned at the stake—all martyrs of Jesue, `, Phis John saw and in Rome toos where the whore sitteth; for he says : "And the woman which thou sawost is that groat city which rnignnth over the cities of the earth." No Nation on the face of the globe cised by Rome. To it Emperors and Kings alike have bowed in humble submission, and worn the yoke a tyrant only could impose. The archbishops of Canterbury even have, as in the pest, ruled over Eng- land as popes of that realm, and the rude uf the Archbishop of New York, is somewhat similar. .And this is that power John describes as a woman in scarlet, upon whose fore- head was a name written, The Mother of Harlots. History proves that Rome is the soed•bed of the most. adulterous off- spring of the earth. Her system of ecclesiastical tyr'auny, exercised by the priests over the consciences of women in the confessional, the mock purity of her celibate accouchered a natiob of libertines, who were even a disgrace to the Dark Ages. When Romish tyranny was in the ascend- ant, virtuous women often took the veil to escape the salacious iutrignes of priests as well as laymen. This was the vaso with Matilda, after- wards wife to Henry I. of England. Rome was not only the Mother of Harlots, but many of her noted men who made that city what it is, had harlots for their mothers, making the words of John doubly true. Let us begin, (in the language of John,) with the ,Kings of the earth (of Saxon -land) and note what Englieh•Rutnan-harlotism was when they wrought out its system of feud- ality in Europe. A system which has made palatine princes out of priests, and bartered the liberties of the people for a ruler of flunkey• istn- Looking to the antecedents of these then, we find that the grand- father of this system was Duke Robert the Devil, (correctly named.) I hike Hobert had for wife Arlotta, who heeanic the mother of William the Conqueror and of Otho, that most infamous bishop of Bayeux, who, for the the part he took in the grand steal of the realm received nine hundred manors. Now Arlotta was the grandmother of about every- thing bad, and her virtue was so often called in question, her name was chatrt,,ed to "Harlot," hence the origin of that term in English liter- ature. Yet Arlotta was the mother of Roman Israel, whose son intrigu- ed with the Pope for the destruction of the Saxon dynasty. By that in- trigue (a fornication with the Kings of the earth) landlordism, a product of Romanism was evolved. Henry I, of England, son of William the Conqueror had for mis: tress, Nest, the beautiful daughter Of Rhee ap 'Tudor, King 'of South Wales. She else had children by Gerald do Windsor (father of Geralduo Cambrensus bishop of St, Davide) also by Stephen Castellan of Abertiti ; also by Owen ap Cadwgau and others probably. As mistress uf thee. first three named above, Neat became the :.mother of the Fitz -henry's, the Fit.z•Geralds and others' who commanded the forces that scaled the walls of Ireland, for Pope Adrian IV. and King Henry II. of England. Of this cruel war Macaulay says :— "The pope of Rome blessed the sword that struck down Irish free- dom, and Ireland can.never be free till the ban of popery is removed." Nest thus becomes the Harlot who furnished the valiant leaders in that conflict. Were we to seek for the occasion of this war, we would find it in anather,llarlot, Dervorgill, wife of Tiernan O'Ruare, who eloped with Dermot, King of Lein- ster, which led to that tyrant selling his country's liberties at the time, to the Pope of Rome and to Eng- land. The ,, marriage of tho powers of the church and state has generated and fostered ' many 'a pernicious system. The history of tho,Consti- tution of Clarendon had its origin in a most infamous crime. A priest of Worcestershire, England, mur- dered a father that he might have uninterupted intercourse with the daughter. Henry II, wanted to hang him. Becket, fighting for the privileges of the priesthood, wanted simply to degrade him. The quar- rel ended in tho death of Becket L'astard sons of that day "veto numerous. Adrian IV, then' the Popo of home was the son of the bishop of St. Albans, and that is an undisputed fact; Thomas A. Beck- et's mother was a Saracene, who met Gilbert Becket in the holy Lend, and afterwards followed hire to England, but like his Pope could lay claim to no woman fora mother. David Bishop of St. David, like Giraldus the noted author, had a doubtful parentage, and the list might be continued cul 1(Mf ne 'f we spoke of liaisons like that of •H tnry II, with hie Rosamond de Gr"(1'iifford or that of Abelard the great dialec- tician of Persia, the teacher of Pope Adaian,IV, Thomas A. Beck- et, and King Henry II, whose amours with his beautiful lleloise gave him much notoriety. Thus harlot upon harlot conies to the front in every movement Rome makes, and her adulterous marria- ges with the nations of the earth, makes her not only a harlot herself but the Mother of Harlots, es John aptly puts it. Our only excuse to our readers for saying so much on this unsavory topic is, we could not say less and do justice to the subject. A hun- dred times as much (night be said has had power erival to that exec -1 and the half not told. Enough Air however has been said of septan IJarlotiam ad nzau$eunz as it is, to fully verify John'a statement that the colored scarlet woman he describes in the 17th chapter of Revelations is uong other than Rome, the mother of Harlots, The Mystery of Babylon, and Abomina- tion of the earth as therein set forth,—Primitive Catholic, Brook - lyn,_N, Y. — CANADA IN A WAR,M;PLACE. The Presbyterian Review of Toronto publishes the following from the warns cline of Jamaica. Froin the Post and West Indian Advertiser, we learn that an able and interesting lecture on "The Domin- ion of Canada," was delivered in Kingston, Jamaica, during the meet- ing of Synod, by Rev. Janes Bal- lautine, formerly of Outerio. His peroration :` "And now, truly, in the face of these and others perils. so real and urgent [he had referred to Roman - ism, Mammonism, Party Politics, and Religious Sensationalism,] the Christians of Canada have need to pray ---'Lord, increase our faith.' But let them, and lot us (for the perils are common) not forget to observe how God has answered this prayer of his people. Look, for instance, when your heart is.sink- ing, into Ezekiel's wonderful pro- phecies. Seo there what marvellous things God can do amongst the dry bones in the valley of vision, and at yon Sea of Death visited by the Hefting Waters ! Let us have faith in God. The Healing Waters are doubtless significant of Christ's glorious Gospel, with all spit"'ltual gifts and graces in its train. Issu- ing from the thruue of God and of the Lamb, and passing out from be- neath the temple door, (Christ) by the altar of sacrifice, they shall go forth to the desert pieces of the Dominion of Canada, and make them rejoice and blossom as the ruse ! They shall overflow and heal that stagnant lake, the sulphurous Dead Sea:of Romanian', and make it alive with fish for the net of the Gospel - fisher. They shall make glad the forests of New Brunswick, and the historic heights of Quebec shall lift up a noble graudeur as they pass. They shall roll through Ontario in splendid tide,"with • trees of right- eousness adorning their course on either aide. SALVk1TION NOT FREE.. Many complaints have recently been made regarding the treatment strangers have received on going to St. Thomas' Protestant Episcopal church, New York. The congroga• tion is probably the Wealthiest .in the city. Benjamin W. Williams, chief lay manager of the church said last night ----"We haven't any room in our church for people who haven't paid for seats. Our trouble is not to find places for strangers, but to keep them out. We don't ask them to come, and we don't want them. If they cotne they are in the way, and we have hard work to get them out of the way, but we Inanage to do it, nevertheless. We have to watch them, but sometimes they elude us and contrive to find seats somewhere. Then we have to tell them very plainly to get up go otit, and we make them do it. Some of the pews are owned by families or the heads of families, and others are rented. Whother• the occupants are there or not, we have to keep the places for them. I have four ushers, and it is all wo can do to reserve the places for the members of the church corporation, for it is a corporation for worship- ping if you want to look at it that way, and when these people want to come to church they ought to have the places they pay for, no matter what other people think." • CANADIAN NEWS NOTES. --Little diary Pethke, of Sarnia, upset a kettle of boiling lard which was on the •kitchen stove, the red- hot fluid burning her left arm, elle..., and neck in a frightful manner.
