Error referring to the same Mongo.Collection from two .js files in Meteor

I have this line in two .js files in Meteor:

merchants = new Mongo.Collection('merchants');

It blows up with the error message below. Why?

Tried adding var

Removing the line in one of the files helps.

What am I doing wrong?

You only need one new Mongo.Collection declaration per collection in meteor app.
