The same difficulty arose in working' the coal nniaes, and the importation of Huns, Pules and Bohemians under forms of contract very like slavery, in order to provide the required cheap labor, is already producing another set of evils These miners, when out of work, wander about the country in gangs, looking for what they may get to su tain life.

Thus the United States have more than one race problem to solve. To HAVE predicted ten or twelve years ago that in 1889 the Canadian Pacific Railroad would be paying a dividend to its stockholders, would have caused the prophet to be laughed at as a visionary. And yet this is. we are told, the thing that has actually taken place. To be able to pay a dividend of even one per cent. on the enormous capital of $65,000.000, shows that season of the year, sellinz at retail at the road already possesses an earn $3.75 per bushel. ing capacity which few would have --- believed possible for fifteen or No distinct advance seems to twenty years to come.

Those who advance this theery have'teysi considered that thio 6ti,000,000 of people are producing a surplus of everything that we do, and are competitors in 'he same market that aur Canadian farmers are. Then with a reciprocity of tariffs on farm products the competition of the United States farmer agnist the Canadian farmer would be greater, because the former are in the ma- jority. Of course, we refer to a class of products which do 1.ot compete in the final market of consumption - Great Britai'.. The truth is, farm product in American markets similarly situated to our central markets is not so high as in Onta- rio. Acorrespondc nt of the Country Gentleman, from Southern Ohio, says :- "tA1I farm productions are low. Our butchers get all the steers they can handle at $2.25 per cwt., and it takes the best hogs to br:ng ;33.40 ; wheat is selling at 70e per bushel ; corn, 30c ; bran, $10 per ton. It takes an extra good fresh cow to bring $30, and fair cows with calves by tbeir sides are sold at $22 to $25 each. Clover seed, is I think, lower than ever I knew it at this Canadians can hardly fail to note the contrast in tone with that adopted towards the United States in the case of the Behring Sea dis- pute. Lord Salisbury cannot possibly be surer that he is in the right in the African than in the American matter. What is the cause of the difference ? Probably the true explanation is to be found in the disparity tai English eyes of the interests involved in the two cases, though the magnitude of the material i terests does not really .►fleet the question of right and wrong, or of national honour. We are glad, however, to believe this the true explanation, since any other which suggests itself is either ve y uncomplimentary to England or very unflattering to Canada. NEWS NOTES. A French captain named Trevier say that Achille aboard the British steamer Lady of N,yassa, on the Shire Inver, the Portuguese compelled the crew to h down the English flag and hoist the Portuguese colors. Trevier declares the English have lust all prestige through their pacific policy. The natives ascribe the gentleness of the English to weak. mass, ,and think Portugal is the stronger nation. Earl Derby, in te speech at Liverpool un tbe Irish questiou, admitted that a land purchase sehemo was necessary as the lesser of two evils. Thelatest federal development of the home rule idea, he said, was much more reasonable than Gladstone's original proposals, and doubtless could be made to work, but he believed it to be impossible to create a satisfactory central body responsible for Imperial affairs, because the English representation would outweigh the Scotch, Irish and Welsh together.

They work harder than any other class; but circumstances are often against them in many districts the holdings are too small to support a family; year by year the fertility of toe soil decreases. and at last ,cern necessity breaks up the home driving the ,i'oungermembers from thopater- nal roof to seek in other hinds the living de- nied by the sterility of the old homestead, A little reflection before startingin search of a new eomo would prevent many a heart ache, of en years of sorrow. The home seeker na- turally casts his eyes towards the Northwest, and he is too often deluded into settling on a treeless prairie, fax removed from the great markets, where every article he raises can only bo sold subject to a heavy freight.
