WORKS â€"-In the rear of the - arket on Cambridge street. a. GHAMBEns. -... 1911; Friday, J one 2nd, 1911 Another Reason for Union. If marriages between Catholics and Protestants are undesirable, marriages between members of different Protes- tant denominations must also be at- tended with similar dangers, only in less degree. The restrictions thus put upon Cupid's operations are well worthy of consideration as an argument for church union. It would be a very. good and commendable thing to do, to widen the field of the little winged god among Pro- testants, as an offset to any trouble he -may experience as a result of the no temerc decree. â€"__â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" A contrast. (Toronto Star.) Strange things are said in the heat of controversy. For instance, it is assert- ed that the reciprocity agreement is be- ing forced upon the people, While the Canadian Pacific bargain was submitted to popular vote. The people pronounced neither upon the details nor upon the principle of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way arrangement. Until June, 1880, it was supposed that the Government would construct'the railway. Then it began to be hinted that a syndicate would undertake the work; and in Oct- ober, 1880, without authority from Par- liament or people, the Macdonald Gov- ernment made its bargain with the syndicate. Parliament was assembled in Decem- ber to ratify the agreement, but it was well understood that this was a mere matterof form. Mr. Blake tried to have the beginning of the Parliamentary dis- cussion postponed until January, “in view of the magnitude and gravity of the question presented,” but this amend- ment was defeated by a party vote and the agreement was rushed through at breakneck speed. All the Liberals could do was to make use of the Christmas vacation to explain the terms to the peo- ple. By the first of February, 1881, after six weeks discussion, the legislation had been passed through all its stages. The country had been committed to a grant of $25,000,000, an enormous-sum in those days of small things. a grant of twenty- five million acres of land, a gift of com- pleted Government railways worth at least $28,000,000, amono‘poly of gigantic proportions, and the exemption of all the railway lands from taxation. On January :20, 191], it was announced in the House of Commons that an agree- ment had been made, not giving away the lands or the money of the people of Canada from taxation; not imposing a monopoly, but removing restriction in trade ; not exempting a railway from its fair share of taxation, but removing a little taxationfrom the shoulders of the people of Canada; not imposing burdens and restrictions on the Western farmers but allowing them to sell their wheat and oats where they pleasé; not impos- ing burdens and restrictions on the peo- ple of Eastern Canada, but allowing them to buy and sell food where they please. This agreementâ€"a simple measure of liberty for Canadiansâ€" has already been twice as long before Parliament as the Canadian Pacific Railway bargain, with its gifts of land and money and privil- eges to capitalists. And yet the Mail and Empire raises the cry of “ Liberty in danger,” and Mr. Borden is placed on a pedestal as a new kind of I-Iampdenâ€"a Hampden who will fight to the death for restriction and taxation. 1t maybe that this outcry is due to a genuine conversion to democratic ideas; that thesame people who were willing to put fetters on the people without their consent, have now become so se n‘-' sitivo about liberty that they will not even knock off the fetters without the consent of those who hear them. But it also looks a little bit like humbug and very rabid partizanship. The Trusts Decisions. (Toronto World.) The real significance of the judgments of the supreme court of the United States in regard to the Standard Oil trust and the Tobacco trust, is the con- dition of things that they expose. The country is trust-ridden in regard to the necessaries of life : oil, tobacco, lumber, steel, copper, beef, fish, agricultural implements, a score of other things, and while the court orders the trusts already tried to dissolve, it is questionable if any great relief will result, That is a sorry condition of ali’airs. But there is more behind. There is sub- stantially a money trustâ€"«made up of certain leading banks in New York-and the grip of this one is greater than all the rest. The savings of the people, whether in the banks or in the reserves of-the insurance companies. are in the hands of the money trust. The raiiyvays are more or less a trust. We believe some, great politicalrand financial revolution ,is’impending in the United States. ‘ ' President Taft is a much over-burden- , ed man these days-if he cared to tellhis engaged to operate the ggager on“ the troubles. His talks of peace and arbitâ€" ration, of reciprocity and lower tariffs are more to gloze over a most serious conditions of affairs at home. The strain of holding things together, let alone trying to cure the great evils that effect the United States, is getting to be too much for the president or for congress, for that matter. Personal.

Statute Labor to 'hissu‘mmer c,ottage._ North side of lake at same wages as last ear. y On motion of Messrs. Mitchell and Green it was resolved unanimously “that it is with profound sorrow and regret that this council is called upon to place on record the death of M r. Charles Fair- bairn who was so suddenly called to his eternal rest on April 26th last. We real- ize that Verulam has lost one who during the early history of the Township was a leading and guiding spirit in directing the affairs of her destiny. His rise was gradual but surc.‘ The records show us that Mr. Fairbairn settled in “the town- ship in 1862 and first entered into muni- cipal life as Councillor in 1862-3 and from that time he has been before the public as Councillor, Reeve, Warden and Menv ber of the House of Commons, Ottawa, and latterly was enjoying the position of Librarian at the Parliament Buildings, Toronto, at his untimely dcccase- It has been the pleasure of but one man in the township in all these years to enjoy these public gifts so'long and contmous- ly, to come before the electors so fro- qucntly and to receive such a hearty and unanimous support. That man was Charles Fairbairn. He was a man who served his township, county, province and Dominion witn the same dignity, honesty and business ability, at all times a credit to himself and the community alike. . In common with the entire community this COuncil feels the loss of one who during his time was to the front in pro- moting the best interests of the public and in upholding its honor and integ- rity. Therefore this council desires to extend to Mrs. Fail-bairn and her family its sincere sympathy and aliection. Moved by Lewis seconded by Hethcr- in gton that a copy of this revolution be forwarded to Mrs. Fairbairn.â€" Cd. M r. R. T. Robertson and J Robertson addressed council respecting a grant towards Mr. Wm. Burgess, who was very ill and in need of help.
