FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER5, 1890.
It will catch them.
The McKinley tariff is expected to be
passed by Congress and signed by
President Harrison before the end of
September. It is understood that the
law will go into force by Oct. 1. Some
of the papers try to argue that it will
not affect Canadian interests, but tine
is all rubbish. Ca nadian barley dealers
are rushing in their stock now, so as to
avoid the loss that will ensue as soon
as the bill is put in force. O.tly the
other dayeelr Dave fisher, of Goderiob,
hurried over a cargo of horses he had,
SO as to get them in and disposed of be-
fore the act comes into force, knowing
that it will be next to impossible to
handle horses for the American market,
after the bill passes. What success
will attend the growing of two rowed
barley, here, rematn, to be seen, but if
farmers still think they can grow the
ordinary barley for the American mar-
ket, they will soon tind jtheir• mistake..
Last year there was imported by the
Unite' States over 11,250,000 bushels
of Canadian barley, the value of which
was $7,750,000, and on which the duty
was over $1,1.25,000. Under the rate
fixed by the McKinley bill. the duty on
the same amount would be over $3,-
300,000, which will practically shut out
the Canadian product. The Toronto
Telegram, discussing the bill says:—
"Hitherto horses exported from the
Dominion have found their way al-
most'wbolly to the United States, But
during all the years that we have been
shipping across the lines English buy-
ers have been in Canada endeavoring to
secure animals suited for the market
at home. The effects of the new tariff
bill will be most seriously felt upon
this industry, since the class of horses
produced cannot be changed at a year's
notice, but eventually Canadian farm-
ers will find better markets for their
surplus of this stock than they have
now in the United States."
- Canadian farmers cannot raise
horses for the English market. They
meat raise heavy draught—not army
horses --because they can make use of
the heavy .draught on the farm, and
the best market there is for this close
of atock, is found in the United States
Canadians have procured heavy
draught well-bred mares, and the prin-
cipal stallions are heavy draughts,
in order to raise horses of this nature,
but finding they are shut out of the
American market will be a serious
matter for our farmers, and they will
speedily find that out.
P Y
The General Elections.
The Toronto World revives the
report that the Dominion general
elections will be rushed on this fall,
because the crops are good. It says
it has "authority from a high quarter
thab the old man fee's very much
that way. —•-.—
There is a lot of sentimental drivel
published occasionally. A. Hamilton-
ian, while "doing" Toronto, fell in with
a prostitute who relieved him of a gold
watch, and in the mentioning the fact
sympathy with the Hamiltonian was
expressed because he would have to ap-
pear in the Police Court to recover his
v. atoll. What stuff? It was wrong in
the girl to steal, but the man in her
company was as bad as she, and is not
entitled to one morsel of sympathy.
In certain quarters General Booth,of
the Salvation Army, is being commend-
ed because he insists that members
shall give up smoking. Quite right.
Smoking is a part of the carnal nature
And should not be indulged in by he
who professes to " do all for the glory
and honor of God." The fact that many
professed Christians—ministers as well
as others --do smoke, does not make it
right. For the one who makes no pro-
fession of religion, exception cannot be
taken, but for the man who does, it can.

[Owing to a mistake this letter waa
not forwarded in time for ineertion last
week.j
Inquiries are coming in from various
quarters—What have been the results
of last winter's effort to raise money to
enlarge the girl's building? The min-
utea,.of the General Assembly have given
results; and the report of the Fre .oh
Evangelization Committee has gone
out, giving results, but still the news
does not seem to reach all quarters
where an interest has been taken. I
have been asked to write a letter "giving
results." If editors can have patience
with me, I would like to put it iu a
narrative form.
Whkin the statement came in about
the beginning of May that instead of
the $5,000 still required we had barely
$3,500, and that not exclusively in ans-
wer to our special appeals, surprise and
disappointment were moat keenly felt.
The thing had been gone about "in'the
name of the Lord," prayer from many
hearts had gone up for the whole
amount, plans had been laid for getting
the whole amount, the agitation had
been made extensive enough, so that,
without miracle, large returns might be
expected, and yet the work aimed at
was only half done.
"They shall not be ashamed that wait
for me," that was the verse that came
up, but not with comfort,—I have wait-
ed upon him about this matter ara am
"ashamed," that was the way it seemed
to Then the verse looked at me
again. "They shall not be ashamed
that wait for me." I must not only
wait upon him but for him "as they
that wait for the morning." But there
seemed no time to wait. Either the
building must be again postponed or it
must be begun in face of a debt, either
of which w•ae a strange answer to faith.
The allotted time was past and the
work only half done. Faith staggered.
Then cause Christ's word to Jairue in
circumstances so similar. He had given
his child's case into Christ's hand. It
had been accepted. Christ had lingered
till the case was lost. And yet in face
of death the Master's word was, "Fear
not, believe only, and she shall be made
whole." fear not, believe only, and
that building shall go up this summer,
and that free of debt. Restful, rejoic-
ing faith and persistent prayer—these
were the right things in the circum-
stanced, and text after text, promise
after promise, showed itself in its abun.
citwt sufficiency and applicability.—
When, without any plan of mine, the
last appeal was published (for the little
letter that then appeared was written
not as an appeal at all, but for insertion
in the report) the hope was strong that
God would use it. The Centurion's ex•
planation of Christ's power ending with
"Speak the word only, and my servant
shall be healed,"—that suited exactly,
and seemed such simple and appropriate
truth, "Speak the word only," and
some of thy servants will immediately
obey. So when, on May 30th, Dr.War-
den's kind letter came, letting me know
that friends in Ottawa had authorized
him to draw $2,500 for the new building,
I was not surprised, only deeply, deeply
glad and thankful. The way of prayer
and power was made clearer than ever
I had seen it before. And other clear
friends in distant quarters,who had felt
the need and joined in the prayer, have
joined in the thanksgiving too. "Sing
unto the Lord for He hath done excel-
lent things. This is known in all the
earth." I would have liked to have
written a letter at once, letting anxious
watchful helpers know what a beautiful
answer God had given, that the whole
amount asked for had been received,
but circumstances that need not be ex-
plained made it, I thought, at that time
imprudent to do so.
The building is now going up, and is
rapidly nearing completion. May the
Lord himself abundantly use it in His
own blessed work. •

P. S.—Concerning the furnishing of
this new building, I have just received a
letter from Dr.Warden. As many have
willingly come forward to help in put-
ting up the building, are there not oth-
ers who will just as willingly take their
part in the furnishings? Here is an
extract from the letter, which will ex-
plain what is wanted: "Mrs Dr. Par-
sons Knox , chur h Toronto,trying is to
church,
raise enough in their congregation to
provide all the beds required." (Cost-
ing, I believe, about $1,000.) "We need
everything new. Besides beds we re-
quire school desks and seats, kitchen
furnishings, laundry fixtures, dining
room tables and chairs, lamps,crockery,
etc., etc, We roughly estimate these as
likely to cost, about $2,500, excluding
the beds. This seems a large sum, but
then it is for a large building, with ac-
commodation for 92—teachers and all.
The old furniture was very old --some
of it 45 years—and in view of the new
buildings we have renewed none of it
for years. We are appealing to former
pupils to help in the furnishings. We
try to exercise the very strictest econo-
my, consistent with efficiency and dura-
bility. We try ever to remember that
is the Lord's money we are using for
hie own work. We look to him to sup•
ply us through his people with all that
we really need."
Are there not some amongst us whose
hearts shall be made willing? One will
undertake for the desks and scats, an-
other for the kitchen furnishings. Some
good housewife will look after the sheet-
ings, another the crockery. another the
knives and forks, and so on. Whatever
18 done must be done quickly, for all
must bo ordered by the 10th of Septem •
her. It is such a precious honor and
privilege Christ gives us to be fellow.
workers with him in giving light to
them that it in darkness. Will it not
be honoring to the Master we love that
that house be opened free of debt, fur•
nishings and all? Contributions should
bo sent to the Rev Dr Warden, 19e St.
James street, Montreal. A. 11.

Here is further proof of the manner
in 'which the policy of high taxation and
trade restriction is aiding Canada's
mannfaotnring industries. The direc-
tors of the Monoton cotton factory have
been instructed by the shareholders to
sell the plant and franchises, or to
amalgamate with some other company
on the beat terms obtainable. The
capital invest d by the share holder;
has been lost a d the mill is idle.
Wo are told t' t the increased duties
upon wheat, bee and pork have raised
the price of those commodities and thus
benefited the Canadian farmer. But
we are assured from the same quarter
that the prices of flour and meat; have
not beer: increased by these duties.—
Now if the prices of flour and meats
have not been increased to consumers
in consequence of the increased custom;
duties, from whence come the increased
prices that the farmers are said to re-
ceive for those products.

and all his farming implements, save
the binder, which was standing in the
field. This will prove a heavy loss to
him as he had only $500 insurance on
the building and a similar amount on
the contents. Cause of fire unknown.
This makes the second barn Mr Bowen

On Saturday evening last, at about
six o'clock, an object was sighted from
the light -house bank, Goderich, by Mr
R. Campbell, about ten miles out in
the lake, which was supposed to be a
boat adrift. Capt Babb was notified
and telegraphed the Marine Depart-
ment asking permission to take the
Government tug Trudeau to the rescue.
At eleven o'clock Saturday evening he
went out with the tug, but it was so
dark the wreck could not be found. On
Sunday morning the tug and life boat
went' out again, the supposed wreck
proved to be a crib of cedar posts, ties
and telegraph poles, which was towed
into the harbor. The crib was one of
four which broke loose from the tug
Brodie on Friday morning, and the
four were valued at $15,000. The own-
ers are Messrs E. F. Allen & W. Lind-
say, of Cleveland, O., who arrived and
made arrangements to recover the re-
mainder of the raft, which came ashore
about four miles above Kincardine.
The London Advertiser says:—An-
other "cruelty to animals" case was
aired at the i'ol.ce Court this morning
in which Hugh M. Douglas was the
complainant and Thomas McLean, a
cattle dealer of Goderich, the defend•
ant. Douglas was put in the box and
said that on the evening of June 26th
McLean hired a horse for the evening
but did not return for three days and
three nights. The horse was over-
driven and cut in all four legs, with
soros and scabs wherever the harness
came in contact with the skin. Wit-
ness had to procure a veterinary sur-
geon, pay his bill and have the horse
idle on his hands for two weeks. Iu
cross examination he admitted that he
had laid the complaint to secure dam-
ages for the injury done. The Magis-
trate said the case was one for the
Division Court. It was all nonsense
to drag McLean out of his bed in the
middle of the night, a treatment to
which he (the Magistrate) had also
been subjected. The charge was dis.
missed.

Tho Wingliam Advance says:—Mr
and Mrs A. E. Simmons, of Wingham,
started to drive to Bayfield on Friday
evening, reaching there Saturday morn-
ing, to be in attendance at the big
camp meeting of the Salvation Army.
When within a mile of their destination,
and while going through a swamp, they
heard above them a rustling in the
trees. This continued for some time,
when the animal, of whatever descrip•
tion it may have been, washeard to
come down a tree somewh at, and the
next thing the surprised travellers
knew the denizen of the swamp had
jumped onto the buggy top, the force
of the leap being so great as to pull the
top as far been as it would go, when
the night prowler fell' off into the
water at the side of the road, and Mr
Simmons applied the whip and made
a quick flight from the scene of their
somewhat startling adventure. From
the cries, or noise made by the animal,
it is supposed to have been a Lynx, the
cries being plainly heard in the camp.
Mrs Simmons was considerably scared,
but they received no further chump.
It was lucky for them that the buggy
top was up, or may be one or both of
them might have been seriously wound-
ed.

Demi correspondent from
Bayfield, in the News -Record, says that
the Army had a pow -wow, and was
after money. I would like to ask what
he means by a pow -wow? Had a boat
been capsized on the lake, and parties
were being drowned, and some noble
fellow went to their rescue and saved
them, I have no doubt but the epeota•
tors on the beach would give them a
cheer. Had it been a horse race or a
ball club, you would hear plenty of
shouting, but se soon as a number of
persons meet together to praise God,
and try to get others saved from the
whirlpool of sin and become good men,
if they praise God aloud they are said
to have a poo -wow. I am afraid there
will be a pow -wow in bell for the wick-
ed. Had the correspondent been in
Clinton on the 12th of July, he would
have said there was a great pow -wow.

miles of grain was falling in bound
sheaves from the reaper and binder.
The crop is light in the United States

will come into Manitoba and the North-
west for wheat alone. How much
Canada will get for oats and potatoes
cannot be calculated, but they will get
a good round sum.

His brother was in the mill at work at
the time with others, and his mother
was at the door of the house some little
way off. She was attracted by a ory

Queen Victoria has arrived at Bal-

Mr John E. Boomer, confectioner,

and after emetics had been applied he
recovered somewhat. He still feels the
effects, but is getting over his experi-

future.
Jack Lynn, of Napanee, while sitting
on a nail keg in Lowry's blacksmith
shop, fell asleep. Mr Lowry wakened

soundly that he fell over under the feet
of a span of colts standing in the shop.
The colts being frightened, trampled
upon him, inflicting some dangerous
wounds and bruises. His head was the
place of the chief injuries, his skull be-
ing fractured. At last reports he was
likely to recover. Some of those who
witnessed the accident fainted over the c
ghastly appearance of his wounds.
The May report of the Bureau of In-
dustries stated upon the authority of its
correspondents that farmers, in antici-
pation of the McKinley tariff, were
sowing less barley than in previous
years. The August report confirms the
observation of May by showing that the
barley crop of 1890 is about 75,000 acres
less than the one of 1889. What the
crop of 1891 will be, with a duty of 30
cents per bushel in operation, is not
hard to foresee. That duty means to
the farmers of Ontario a loss of revenue
on one crop alone of not less than $5,-

country must pay.
Etta Sim s
S p nn, aged seventeen, living
in Moncton, N. B., went to sleep on
Sundae last and has uct vet awakened
nor has she taken any nourishment.
Dr Chandler, who is attending her,
says it is a case hysterical coma. Miss
Simpson has for some months had a
mania for eating brown paper, and
would consume a large bag, such as is
used in grocery stores, at a single meal.
She has eaten scores of brown paper
bags, and it is supposed this mania has
s ometh:ng to do with her illness.
About a year ago she slept for five days,
but was awakened while being bled by
her medical attendant. It is feared
that if she does not soon awaken from
her ptesent sleep death will ensue.
Canadian sheep breeders have swept
everything before them at the Detroit
International Exposition. Here is the
list : In Southdowns Messrs John
Jackson & Sons, of Abingdon, Ont.,
were rewarded 13 first prizes and 8 se-
conds, making a clear sweep of every-
thing offered, including two medals and
a silver cup given by the American
Southdown Association. In Leicesters
Mr J. Kelly, jr., of Shakespheer, Ont.,
secured 10 first prizes and six seconds,
nearly a clean sweep of this class. In
Cotswolds Messrs J. G. Snell & Bro.,
of Edmonton, Ont , carried off 9 first
and 5 second prizes, and the balance,
1 first and 3 seconds, were awarded to
Messrs H. Crawford it Son, of Canbor-
ough, Ont. In Oxfordowns Mr II.
Tolton, of Walkerton, Ont., gets S first
and :i second prizes.
Ten thousand people gathered at the
fair at Mansfield, O., on Friday, to see
the balloon assension by Prof. Charles.
The balloon was a hot air one and
was held over a furnace by ropes in the
hands of bystanders. As it shot up-
wards the spectators were horrified to
see Milton Redin, one of the leading
young men of the country, hanging to a
rope dangling from the balloon. Redin
must have lost his head,for he clutched
desperately at the rope, and in a mo•
ment was over 100 feet in the air. The
balloon rose rapidly and Charles could
be seen attempting to draw Redin up.
For ten minutes Redin clung to the
small line as the balloon was whirled
southward. While at a height of 1,000
feet Redin's hold was loosed and he
was seen to fall. Ilis body shot down.
ward as from a cannon, and struck the
earth half a mile away. When found
the clothes were torn off. Every bone
was broken, and the body was crushed

For two months, Mrs Maria 11.
Woodworth, the evangelist, has been
conducting a revival at St Louis, in
a temple sheltering nearly 9,000 people.
For the past two weeks the meetings
have increased in interest and excite-
ment until they have become sensation-
al in the extreme. Mrs Woodworth is
assisted by several Savation Army
lieutenants. During the past week it
has been a nightly occurence to see from
50 to 250 men, women and children
stretched flat upon their backs on the
ground or on the platform writhing in
religious frenzy or in a dead stupor
from exhaustion, while a thousand
more excited individuals danced,
shouted, cried, sang and swung their
arms in the air. Dr Welliugion Adams
and Dr Theodore Diller, authorities on
insanity, declare Mrs Woodworth is
simply an insane woman of great
power, and that the trances into which
ehe throws her audience are simply
hypnotism. They declare she is creat-
ing .,evil, from which there can be no
curjri',a When the doctors questioned
the 'Weenan she gave a history;of her life,
telling in detail of the most marvelous
events. She claimed to have conversed
with God, Christ and the Trinity, and
the devil many times—in fact, to be at
the present fime on familiar terms
with all of them. She also said that
she bad seen both heaven and hell, and
told what they looked like. She is the
same woman who, while in Oakland,
CRI., predieted great earthquakes and
tidal waves

A Kingston despatch says : Rev J. K.
McMoriue received a postal card a few
days ago with a message: •` My con.
science is troubled that I did not openly
rebuke you as an " hireling" when I
heard you talk about the desirability of
closing your church through the hot
weather. If you do not repent and be
couvented you will find hell hotter.'
•Souls going to hell and the weather
too hot to warn and try and rescue
theta. Beware of tate judgment
awaiting such ministers, who will
have to give an account for the souls of
men. Preach for filthy lucre. Die•
guise the truth and sit in ease and
luxury for a little season. How dare
ye do it? Stand aside and let some
faithful disciple take the place. Judas
Iscariots are plentiful at the present
day." As a matter of fact, Mr Me-
Morine is one who does not close ltia
church, or even suggest it. He is otte

1fnliortant Testimony.
The REV. C'OVERDALE WATSON. for
the last three years the popular pastor of the
Central Methodist Church, Bloor St.,Torou-
to, but now of Victoria, B.C., writes under
date of Aug. 5th, 1490, as follows:—"Dear Mr.
rSimpson: Yours of the 20th July was duly
eceived. I can only say with respect to Dr
A. Wilford Hall's Hygienic treatment, that I
regard it as a wonderful discovery, and if
perseveringly used it cannot fail to be of
great service I would advise any one to get
the pamphlet, begin the nee of the treat-
ment and throw medicine to the dogs. A
very clever 1hysician said to me the other
day, 'let medicine alone and get rid or the
waste materials, and the organs will perform
their functions." Tuns to rttto'tser,e WHAT

Writes . "D, . Hall, Dear Sir, base just an-
swered a letter from Utah Territory. A friend
wished to know if my testimonial was given cor-
rectly in the Mtcnocoss ? I answered yes; that
it was true to the letter, and that my indorse-
ment was nowhere near as strong as 1 could now
truthfully make it. I told him that your treat-
ment had cured me of rheumatism, kidney dis-
ease, catarrh and other complications of disease,
so that from crutches and helplessness, I am now
as well and free from disease as fllty years ago.
Some have accused meet being a relative of yours
and of trying to favor you. This is not true,ex-
cept so many generations back thst it can not he
traced. And further, i have no financial inter-
est In the business, and only desire to make the
treatment known to beneflt suffering humanity.
i have already received and answered more than
sixty letters from all parte of the country, re af-
firming the truth of my testimonial, and I will
gladly answer a hundred times sixty if teereby
I can induce sufferers to try your treatment, as
i declare before God my unfaltering conviction,
both from my own experience and observation
In numerous cases, that your discovery, if pro-
perly used and persevered In will cure any form
of curable illness flesh is heir to,—t am ready
now to proclaim to all men unreservedly that
your treatment as set forth In your Health
Pamphlet and without drugs of any kind is the
healing balm for the afflicted that is capable of
supplying health to every suffering son ard
daughter of Adam, Let me know how 1 can
serve you, and command me freely. Your friend
gratefully, "W. P. Hall."
