TiiIIRSDAYI AUGUST 29, 1895 AJ"['E'It F.iJ'2'r i'Ee4Rs. TO hear Canadian Liberals talk abet, t the success of free trade is Great Brit. ale it might be supposed that Parlia- meat who have nothing to do but to ties that the revenue that filled the Treasury to oxerilowing was properly ezpcnded, andto enact such laws only as are required by a community so prosperous that none of its members kw.,w what want and enforced idleness &read, Is Great Britain, which has had free trade for nearly half a century, in this happy condition ? Great Britain is aware favourably situated for free trade than any country under the sue, If after a fair trial of almost fifty years, free trade is not a complete success in that country, where can it be expected to succeed? In a recent speech, de - Livered at Bradford, Lord Salisbury after dealing with the misery of the immense army of the unemployed said: --"I feel that, as long as the problem of the unemployed presents to us the the features it has shown during the ..est winter, we cannot say that our conscience as statesmen awl politicians is discharged if we do not attempt at all events to solve it to the utmost en orgies hi our power. (Applause,) Well, then, look ac the state of agri x.t1Et urn. 1.1v -el -ye -here i15I14, „t 1t. cspi.ually in the east of Englaud, you hear of farms land uncultivated, laborers azuelnploced, poverty and misery hi- ereasie ;'. Is this no subject for the con- sideration ofparliament? ram eata l- ear,hear.) Zs it not more important than these or- &wnic questions upon which we have spent so much time? (Great and pro- longed cheering) Is it not more im- portant we should save men, well-to-do nen, from rule, and working men from starvation, instead of hounding ne -class after class, and creed. against 1 in .creed, in our country? (Renewed ap plause.) The Government of Great Britain, in his opinion, should set about trying to remedy the evils with which that nation isiafiiicted—actual eyils, from which millions are suffering to day. Yet Great Britain has for fifty years been ,enjoying the blessing which our Liber_ al countrymen are telling us will snake Canada prosperous and happy until the lend of time. *** Those who have a soft place in their hearts for the Englislh sparrow.will be. glad to see that that disreputable little bird has at last found a sphere of use fullness in this bloomin' country. He has discovered that the flesh of .t the grasshopper is tender, has a fine favor and is a good thing to maintain life upon withal. Observers report, at all events, that grasshoppers are now an important part of his diet. *** The Canadian Bankers' Association of Winnipeg ' 1 open has received the remain- der of the crop estimates. The aver- age crop of wheat is 27,09 bushels to the acre. The total estimated yield in Manitoba is as follows:—wheat, 80,890,- 07t6 bushels; oats, 23,988,102 bushels; b, 7 9 barley, f , 5b,....4 bushels; total, G0,636,- 402 bushels, The reports from the Ca- nadian Pacific railway in )Manitoba and the north west show that the crop is now safe from all dangers. ** Manitoba expects this harvest to yield a surplus of thirty million bushels of wheat, and at fifty cents a bushel t, the harvest would be worth fifteen titian dollars in money to the province I Among three hundred thousand people fifteen million dollars is a good deal of money. If the crop be not over esti- mated the price of fifty cents per bushel is not excessive, and, the result, fifteen million dollars, would give five hund red dollars per head to every man, wo• man and child of the population. The crop on a hundred acre farm, bearir.g forty bushels to the acre, would be worth two thousand dollars. Consider. ing that hundred acre farms are coln- paratively scarce in Manitoba, where farmers think nothing of seeding down two hundred acres in wheat, it is easy seeing how fast grain must run into money when the crop is harvested be- fore frost and prices range from fair to good, AGRICULTURE AND FREE TRADE Our Reform friends say that the farmer is suffering from the lack of e opulation ; that if we had free trade it would be cheaper to live• here, and we would have a great influx of immigra- tion. England produces actually less food with thirty-five millions of a popu- 3ation than she did when she had seven :teen millions of a population. Further than this, her importance as an agrirul tural nation has been continually on. the decline. In 1867 her wheat area was four million acres; in 1887 two millions. In 1868 England produced one hundred and twenty eight million bushels of wheat, and imported sixty- one and a half millions. In 1888, after years of agricultural prosperity under free trade, she produced only sixty-six 3.nd a half million bushels, not half what she raised twenty years before, and she imported one hundred and. thirty-two million bushels, more than .double what she imported twenty years before. Thirty years ago the English farmer sold two thirds of the wheat eaten by his own people, The peon fn Argentine, the serf in ,Russia, and the countless millions of down -trodden humanity in India, sold the other two- thirds. So much has free trade done Sox'the English agricultural , Iaborer The offices Mr. William Ewart Gladstone said to President Garfield that he never anew an agricultural laborer to rise out of the condition in which he was born, Dr. Heine Markes, ex -Supt. of the 1 City Hospital, St, Louis, Mo., denounced bicycle riding as follows:—Tu my mind owing to the excess of exercise, in dulled in by bicycle riders of to -day, when a man or woman buys a wheel, they take rhe first spadeful of earth from their graves. To give some idea of unwholesomeness of bicycling riding listen to this:—First, you have a kind of paralysis of the hands from constant gripping of the handle bar; then con- traction of the legs, contraction of the posterior muscles of the lower limbs and of the inside muscles of the thigh; round shoulders from stooping over and contraction of the chest, Xhis causes congestion of the lungs and leads to consumption; continued violent exer- cise also leads to enlargement of the heart. Furthermore, with men, rupture, varicole, hydrocele follow, and worst of all it destroys virility. With women, constant riding causes troubles peculiar to women and also promotes amorous desires, Married women in riding bicycles are especially liable to very serious physical mishaps. In fact, the dangers are multitudinous. People have neglected them too long, and if the entire world is not depopulated by the rapidly inereasing membership of this suicide club the human ra<;e will die out by reason of Iack of manhood and inability to propagate." *.* NOTES AND C031MEVTS The question is often asked: What is to become of the horse, since people these days ride bicycles, and nearly every piece of machinery formerly operated by horse power is now pro- . yelled by steam or electricity? Well, 'we would suggest that they he turned .out to grass. But there is another quer. tion equally as serious: What is to be o eine of the men when the "new wo atutn" ascends the throne?
