Sir John and hie organs are not play- ing in tune just now, The latter have been asserting all along that the passage of the McKinley bill would not make an atom of difference to Canada, and it was not worth worrying about. Sir John, on the other hand, speaking at Morrisburg, was frank enough to ad- mit that the bill would affect our inter-' eats, and it was no use shutting our eyes to the fact, and he then went on to urge nn extention of our trade with England. Both Premier au.I Lis organs cannot be right. New • York State has passed a law making it illegal to sell tobacco in any shape to persons under a certain age. If the arguments of some people are sound, this is a monstrous injustice, an interference with personal liberty, an infringement of individual rights. The law looks reasonable and just, but as some people who claim that they only are right, assert that the individual is jus- tified in eating, drinking, and doing whatever he pleases so far as his own pleasure is concerned, why the law must be an unjust one. The Waeltington cortespuudet:tof the Boston Journal (Republican) says that the proposal to adtnit Caaadlatt pro- s ducts free into the United States cit condition that Canada abolishes all duties upon American products, iJ so strongly supported in the Tariff Con, ference committee that it remains for chairman McKinley alone to determine whether it shall be incorporated in his bill or not. And yet the organs of the s_ •Canadian combines try to -delude their it readers with the idea that the Ameri• ".".span legislators and people are solidly „ against reciprocity. In' any case the ki'4..mericans have as touch right to ask ee 'Cour parliament to propose a definite `soheme of reciprocity- as our ntinieters i have to wait until congrtss has stated ..bow far it is willing to Persons c lel cttd to questionable practises, excuse themselves, w'ten re- monstrated with los saying, "It cannot be wrong, as the Scr;ptnres don't con- demn it." Reduce this to practice and see how it works. The Scriptures do Act specifically c)ndemn wife beating, therefore wife -beating must be permis- fible. The Scriptures do not specifically condemn prize-liglitittg, consequently Inch an affair is quite harmless. The ideriptures do not specifically condemn Corse -races, and horse -races are accord- .gly proper. The Scriptures do not peoffically condemn betting, and so \letting is morally right, and the list of uestionable practices not specifically Borated and denounced in the 'oible, might be extended art ;,see etc„, het, some one will say, it is absurd to ippose that these things are right aim- ly because the Bible does not say they " e; wrong. Quite true, but no more tsitrd than the illogical and unsound found taken by those who offer like celtaaa, li the speeches of some elf the Do- tinion Cabinet Ministers, and the edi- , Oriels of most of the Conservative papers are correct, the produce dealers this country have been a lot of sap- eads and simpletons, without brains rlfiough to carry on their business pro- perly.

The writer undertook to lecture the General on his unscriptu- ral views against tobacco, setting up his theology as a standard, that Christiane may use tobacco to the honor and glory of God. What righ� had the writer and gentleman to in- terfere with General Booth's order to his otlicert and soldiers, they volun • tarily entered his orgauizatior, and could have left it at any time; it ef- fected no one else.

True, for it was not in use in olden times, but the Bible principles are against all wrong do- ing. There is nothing said in words in the Bible against a man thrashing his wife, or his staying out in the, smoking rooms of the drinking places j till after his wife and children are gone to bed, but the Bible does say 'Husband loye your wives,' and that is a great way of showing it. In an article that appeared in this week's Record, on the vote in the Methodist Conference, at Montreal, ou the use of tobacco by the Methodists, his account of the speeches, and bis re- marks thereon remind me of the Dutchman's sign, 'All manner o turning and twisting done here.' EI states that half of the Methodists are users of tobacco. Will he please tel where he got his information from It ii a base slander on the mother and daughters and non-users of to- bacco in the Methodist church, Such writers remind me of the words use by 6t. Paul in the 13th chapter o Acts, and the 9th and 10th verses. 1 never came across a Methodist who would recommend any one to use tobacco.
