Fenclon Falls, April 27th, 1892. The Fenelon Falls Gazette. Friday. December 23rd, 1892. Compliments of the Season. The Gazette wishes all its readers a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and a speedy release from the N. P. Quite True. We have had handed to us a copy of the Rochester, N. Y., Democrat and Chronicle of the 9th inst. containing a special dispatch from its Ottawa corres- pondent, who, after stating that the chief subject of discussion in Canadian journals is the future of the country, quotes the following from a Bellcville paper, the Daily Ontario, to prove that a strong annexation sentiment exists this side of the lakes :â€" “ The annexation sentiment seems to be sweeping forward with an irresistible force, and, unless the masses can see a prospect of some improvement in the near future, there will be a political It will surprise the ultra Loyalists some day to discover that the Annexationists are This discovery they will make, and it will cool the ardor of the In this city there are scores of men who never cast a vote for a Reform candidate, in any political contest, but who are pro- They have been convinced by the logic of events that, in order to obtain even a. limited prosperity as a people,.we must have freer access to the markets of the United They are also convinced that the greatest prosperity would come from a political union with so great and enterprising a people as our southern neighbors have proved themselves to be. There are thousands of Tories scattered over Canada who believe this, and will not much longer dissemblc their convic- Thc loud mouthed Loyalists who threatened dire consequences for a free expression of private opinion, are known to be little better than hypocrites; they revolution of great magnitude. not all Grits. campaign in the tented field. nounced Annexationists. States. tion. prate loudly about their loyalty and dislike of Yankee institutions, but send their sons to the United States to earn their living. We know men midst who are conspicuously abusive to those who disagree with them politically, but who have children livingr and pros- pering in the neighboring republic. They denounce those who want. better trade relations with the United States as traitors to their country, and insist that only Grits find it more attractive on the other side of the line. There must be a change of some kind, and political union with the States will inevitably result unless we are emanci- pated from the absurd fiscal laws that are now, and have been for a decade, crippling the best. energies of the people, and driving thousands of them from the country. There is now a widespread and growing: feeling of discontent, and this feciin; is not confined to party lines, nor attributable to truitorous doctrines, It is the outcome of u long continued and increasing dcpresion, that affects alike all classes of people who are not the favored beneficiaries ofa monopoly that was created and is sustained by an iniquitous tariff." Every statement in the above article is true. Ari the American paper says, “ Canadians are not content," and they would be poorâ€"spirited creatures if they were. They have as fine a country as the sun shines on. and all the natural ud~ vantages that tend to make: people in our prosperous and happy, but the masses are ground to death by unjust taxes in order that Lfavored few may become inordinately wealthy and the Tories may retain power and place. » We won- der whether the new Premier has any idea that there are thousands of Canaâ€" dians who seriously believe that. the only hope for the Dominion lies in unâ€" nexation or rebellion. “ Farmersillaveilleeni Grilled. ” The Globe of Wednesday contains letters written by its correspondents at Port Hope, and dated December 17th. With rare exceptions the, people of both town and country are tired of the N. P. and in favor or free trade with the States; and the following' from the lips ofa Conservative farmer is a lair sample of what was said by nearly everybody who was interviewed: “ The farmers have been gullcd ; they have been the sufferers: I have been a protectionist, but there is no use talking, the farmers have had to bear the brunt of the N. P. They have not been protected, and I can't for my life see how they have been benefitted by it Farming is getting worse and worse, and, after all our talk about manufac- tures, farming is the backbone of this country, and the government should do all that can be done to make its condit- ions fuvorable. I am convinced that. the interests of the manufacturers have been studied too much. and the interests of the farmers too little. ” Gift Enterprises. We clip the following from the items of news cabled across the ocean from London (Eng.) on the 20th inst.â€" “ A decision was handed down to-duy in the case of the Queen against Pear- son’s Weekly, which had been running a guessing contest contrary to the gaming laws. The contest was stopped by the court, and the money paid in by the guesscrs, £24,000, will probably rcvcr to the crown.” They evidently take a very different view in England of “fakes” from what they do in Canada, where gift enter- prises are not intcrfcred with, and are so profitable that new ones are constantâ€" ly being started. It is quite evident that. if the prizes to successful guessers were awarded as advertised, the benevoâ€" lent advertisers would soon be ruined; but every affair of the kind is such‘ a glaring imposition upon public credulity that those who are foolish enough to jump at the bait and part with their money deserve but little sympathy.

REVIVED RUMORS THAT“ If. It. II. WILL ATTEND TII-E CHICAGO- WORLDiS FAIR. LONDON, Dec. 19.-â€"â€"lt is again rumor- ed that the Prince of Wales intends to visit the Chicago Columbia Exhibition. It is said that he will make the trip across the Atlantic early next summer in the Royal yacht Osborne, which is a. vessel of 1,600 tons burden and 3,300 horsepower, and that he will disembark either at Montreal or Quebec, proceed- ing thence to Chicago. The Osborne will be escorted by a number of British warships. Though it. is impossible as yet to verify the rumors, they are repeat- ed so oitcn, and with such particularity of detail, that it would not be surprising if they turned out to be founded on fact. It. is also stated that a new cutter has been ordered by the Prince of Wales, which will be entered in some of next season's yachting events. It. it known that the Prince would like to again visit the United States, and it is considered highly probable that if his duties will permit he will take udvuntacc of the World's Fair to gratify his desire. Eight Killed, Five Injured.
