FENELON FALLS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, JULY 25TH, 1902. ignore that sublimest of all sayings, “ Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, doye even the same unto them ?” Is it? How much more virtuous is it to take by strength of mind or length of purse than by strength of muscle? Why is it that physical might no'longer makes right, but intellectual might or pecuniary might does? Did Christ draw the line ? Was the Golden Rule given for the weak, the simple and the poor only? Or was that sublime truth for allâ€"tor the poor and the rich, the simple and. the wise, the weal; and thestrcng, the footpad and the railroad president, the ranchman and the sugar trust. How was it?

Camille Flammarion, the well- known French writer on astronomy, mentioned at the last meeting of the French Astronomical Society that the: Christian era has just completed the- iirst milliard of minutes. Between Jan-x. uary 1st of the year 1 and April 18th; of the year 1902, at 6.10 p. m., he says, just one thousand million minutes have passed. - The statement suggests a realisation of the meaning of a thousand million in the abstract, and 'still more of a thou- sand million in the concrete form of money. Mr. John D. Rockefeller’s for-‘ tone, for instance, is generally estimat- ed at about two hundred million dollars, or, say, a. thousand million, francs. We, all recognize that this is an enormous. amount; but the trouble with most of" us is that a single million seems almost' as remote from our possibilities as a. thousand millions, so that the greater sum does not differentiate itself suflici- ently'from the smaller. Let us see, then, what Mr. Rockefelo low’s fortune of a thousand million francs means. It means that if a man had been working steadily, day and night, from the birth of Christ to the present time, at the compensation of a franc a minute, his total earnings would. just now have reached the amount of Mr. Rockefellow's pile. A franc a minute is very handsome .pay. It is $12 an hour, or $300 a. day.

Later, the nation did this work in their collective capacity, and the work was better and more cheaply done. There was a time when the mail was carried and post-offices were kept by private individuals and by companies. Now, all civilized people do this work through post-ofiice departments, and the effect of the change has been to enor- mously increase and improve and cheap- en the service. There was a time when'all schools were private enterprises. Now the pub- lic school is the child of the government, and education, from being the excep- tion, has become the ruleâ€"from being grotesque has become, 01: is becoming, symmetrical. Who would like to change our mod- ern way of doing these things for the methods in use a centuryâ€"or two, or five centuries ago? Do you know what people said and thought of these chang- es at the time of their making? They All the latest styles and best qualities of leather. Prices $3.50 and $5. 'J.L.

The total wages earned by the. people of this town, in successive gene-. rations all the way from the time of Christ to the present day, would not ex- ceed the amount which one man has managed to put by in the course of a single lifetime.

It must do nothing to make its citizens happy, wise and prosperous, but must keep off the invaders, hang the criminals, and let every other man alone to work out his own happiness, comfort and prosperity as he best could. When nations assumed control of the post-ofl‘ice business, it undoubtedly put a great many people out of employment. Was it right for the government to do so ? When the schools first came under public control, thousands of “ back- uumbered ” teachers were stranded. The “ back-numbers ” undoubtedly suf- fered. Were the governments wrong? No. Before the change the whole peo ple were sufi'eringâ€"we, better than they, know how much. By its high tariff, the private postal service was a bar to, rath- er than a medium of, communication. By the stupidity and cruelty of the old time dominies, the love of learning was frosted, uct fostered. These changes and others are milestones on the march of humanity that has brought us from slavery, through feudalism and serfdom; to political democracy. ‘ What next? Are there other changes in store for us? Is it wise or modest to believe that in tc-day’s conditions we see the no plus ultra? That position lands us in the ranks of the persecutors of Galil- Ice and the partizans of the slave trade. Is society as now constituted a sale place for a Christian to live? If Christ should come to-day, would our balance of trade be right? You are strong of body-â€"in robust health.

Howling About? .__â€"â€"- Gentlemen, what are you howling about the beef and other trusts just now for? Have they just attracted your attention ? Are they something new to your vision? You seem to think they are something new on the commercial sky. Why, they have been doing busi« nose on your blood for years. They have been sucking your substance for the last thirty years. Finding you so. docile or'stupid as to submit, they have been breeding and thriving on your life. I expect they open their eyes with surprise that you should kick about them doing business now, when all these years you have never evinced any objection to their existence or methods. They have been bribing and robbing and feasting, and I expect they had come to the conclusion that you. were only so much carrion, with no life to protest. The robbery of the beef trust is nothing to the robbery of the banking and railroad trusts. But you. seem to be sensible only of pain when your stomach is directly attacked.
