heard in the land, For instance a mis-

According to the latest statistics there
are 340,625 miles of railway on the
earth, of which 138,7 50, or 44 per cent.,
are in the United States. Germany,the
leading railway country in Europe, has
24,843 miles ; France, 21,396 ; Great
Britain and Ireland, 19,811; Russia,
17,823, and Austria, 15,442 miles.
A war of extermination on English
sparro vs will begin in Illinois on the
tirstof December next,when a law passed
by the last Legislature,offering a bounty
c:f two cents a head for sparrows, goes
into effect. The Secretary of the State
of Illinois is now sendiug ,int illustrated
descriptions of the English sparrow to
every locality in the State.
Prohibition has been voted out of the
North-west Territories. It did not pro-
hibit, and people by an overwhelming
majority have used the power lately con
ferried upon them by the Act to elect
.teat,*n ielytnen in favor of a lieonse law,
Thus vanisbes all hope of giving the
prohibition experiment a fair trial in
Canad;. Probibitiofi cannot work its
way anywhere when it could not hold
its own In the North-west.

Thus far. the election protests have
gettu wally against the Libe ale, fire of
their supporters haying fallen before the
courts, as against one Conservative. If
this order of things continues through-
out the whole list of some 70 petitions,
the result will be the increasing of ttie
Conservative majority, as the bye-gleei
tions, in many eases, will change the
political complexion of the ridings.

Liberals stuck to their alhstirllity, awl. all
but suceeedvil in reaching power.
Of later presumably in the belief that
the people have become educated by de-
grees up to a readiness to approve of
discrimination, the Liberal party have
been gradually coming out openly in
favor of Mr. aViman's original scheme.
Mr. Davies, M. P., in the House, ad-
mitted they intended=tliscriminatine,tho
Globe has two or three tines tacitly ad-
mitted as much, and now Mn Whiten,
who no doubt speaks with authority,
distinctly states that discrimination
against the productions of England is
contemplated by the Liberals, He says
'as follows

Improving the quality and thus in-
creasing the price of butter, and other
prnduee is the science of government
that Ontario and Canada most need.
P.}litics as exemplified now by Hon.
"If she (Canada) admits American
manufactures free, in common fairness she
ought to admit British manufactures also.
To admit both would be to utterly annihil-
ate her revenee and bankrupt her finances,
already in the lowest state,. In 10 years
her public debt has increased 52 per cent.
There are, however, a vast multitude in
Canada, and especially those among the
Liberal party, who see the enormons ad-
vantage that will result from a free market
in the United States, and especially the
saving that will be effected by the con-
sumers in Canada, who could then use
largely of American manufactures, that
do not object to a discrimination against
Great 'Britain. This, it is urged, is the
necessary price that Cauadians will have
to pay for the best market under the sun."

Reply to "Canada First."
TO the Editor of the Exeter Times.
DEAR SIR,—I trust you will permit me
to say a few words in reply to " Canada
First's" second letter, in favor of Canadian
Iudependence, which appeared in your last
issue. The subject is one of great import-
ance to all Canadians who wish well to
their country ; andit is only by way of
friendly discussion, on the platform and
through the press, that we are able to dis-
cover the truth and arrive at conclusions
based en intelligence and reason.
I have taken the ground that. while In-
dependence would satisfy a certain longing
of the Canadian mind for National status,
it would be impossible from economical
reasons to maintain an existence independ-
ent of either the United States or Eugland.
I believe we must be linked with either
oue or the other, and our material interests
will be best served by Political Uuion with
the States.
I think "Canada First" has failed to
answer the objectiousI Made to Independ-
ence. In his reply he leaves nearly all of
niy arguments against his position, not
only unanswered, but untouched.
There is nit a little disappointment
in commercial circles here over the fail-
ure cef the British postal authorities to
Mil in establishing a fast mail service be-
tween the two countries. The offer of
our government of $750,000 as a subsidy
was considered quite liberal and it was
thought that British interests were suf-
ficient to onsuro co-operation on the
part of the Home Government. They
have decided otherwise, however, and
for the present we will have to bo con-
tent with getting our British mail via
New York.
...
Since the Mikado of Japan permitted
his subjects to emigrate to other coun-
tries nearly 100,000 of them have left
their native land. There are about 20, -
makes the most of a poor case.
I think I have shown, that free trade is
desired by Canada, and that Independence,
if bringing free trade, would be quite im-
possible front a dnaneial standpoint, But
suppose, Mr. Editor, that our friends to
the south should even then refuse us free
trade, or reciprocity, limited or unlimited!
Suppose that they go further, and while
lowering their tariff as against other coun-
tries, should directly discriminate against
Canada! Of what value would our Inde-
pendence be ? The cost of living would
inevitably grow leas there and higher here,
as ie has been doing for some years,so that
in sheer desperation we would in the end
ask the amible, but ever -shrewd, Une1e
Samuel to take us to hie expansive bosom.
Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for the apace
I have taken, I remain, CANADIAN.
P,S, - Thisletter ie so lengthy that I ata
precluded from answering 'Canada First's'
query as to what advantages Political
Union would confer on the Canadian
fanner. If you do not object, I shall in a
future letter endeavor to satisfy him on
that point.
St.. Marys, Nov. 7, 1591. C,
" Canada First" rather doubts the tor-
reetness of my comp:.tison of the debts of
Canada and the States, mvliiah he says I

fur the United States. Ae a matter of feet

and which must soon be assumed by the

tariff produces 62 per head, anis over fit

theirs 60 per cent. The reason of tide dif-
ference in their favor is that they do not
need all the money their tariff is; capable
of pro luciug ; they therefore make it

ducing last. This enables them to so adjust

duties, while their idustries are thorough-
ly protected. We on the contrary require
every cent of our duties for revenue. Our
taritf, therefore, becomes revenue firet,
protective last. hence each Canadian
contributes over $oto the revenue in duties,
or over twice as much as the American
does. The conclusion I draw from my
argument thus far is, that our condition as
shown is for less inviting to the msu look-
ing for a home for bis family than the con-
dition be finds in the United States. I
fully agree with " Canada Firet" that time
desire to live under Republican institutions
is largely the cause of our slow growth and
stunted developement, but wo have re-
mained too Iong under monarchical matit-
utious—fatallv long; so long that we can
never recover, even under Republican in-
dependence, the ground thus lost by com-
parison with the !Jutted States. \Ye must
under any form of Government be able to
offer the same inducements to the settler
that our competitor does, or we'll not get
him. With our huge debt, as against the
decreasing debt of the U. S., this we can-
not do.
000 of them in Hawaii and more of them
arrive there every month. There is a
largo number of them in Australia.
They are to be found in various countries
of the Asiatic continent, and some of
thein are in Europe. There are about
2,000 of them in California, and others
are constantly arriving there to work in
the vineyards. In the city of New York
there may be 200 Japanese, and there
are a few of them in many other Ameri-
can cities. Wherever they go they have
the reputation of being industrious and
inoffensive. The population of Japan is
40,000,000.
This is the very proposal that met
with such vigorous opposition when first
presented. The Liberal party have been
passing through the process of evolution.
They have come to Mr. Wiman's scheme
by degrees, as a frog passes from one
stage to another in reaching maturity ;
or rather they have gradually confessed
their intentions, which have been from
the first to adopt the Wiman plan in the
event of success at the polls. There ought
to be a clear understanding on this point
so that those who vote for the Liberals
may know exactly what it implies and
what it will do for the country. Its
absurdity and its unfairness to England
ought to be clear to the commonest un-
derstanding. For example, ' imagine
trouble arising between Canada and the
United States over any of the many
questions coming up from time to time.
How could Canada ask for the assistance
and protection of the country whose
trade it discriminates against ? It would
be positively insulting to England.
Mr. Wiman clearly proves that the
Liberals were attempting to secure power
by false pretences.
Some interesting statistics are given
in the twenty-seventh annual report of
the British Postmaster -General, which
was issued a few days ago. The estimated
deliveries of mail matter in the United
Kingdom for the year ending March 31,
1891, were : Letters, 1,705,800,000 ;
postal cards, 229,700,000; book packets,
circulars and samples,481,200,000; news-
papers, 161,000,000, and parcels, 46,-
287,956, a total of 2,623,987,956 pieces
of mail. This is an increase of 8.2 per
cent. on the previous year. The average
number of pieces of mail received by
each person was 69.6. Of the first four
kinds of mail matter mentioned above
85.2 per cent. was delivered in England
and Wales, 8.9 per cent in Scotland,and
5.9 per cent. in Ireland, and 29.7 per
cent. was delivered in the London postal
district alone. There are now 18,806
post offices in the kingdom.
The public indebtedness of the Argen-
tine Republic and of the various provin-
inces constituting that country is equal
to about $220 for every man, woman
and child living within its boundaries.
It is easy to see that repudiation on a
large scale is almost inevitable, despite
the natural wealth and wonderful re-
sources of the La Plata Valley, and it is
clear that public bankruptcy and indi-
vidual ruin, in many cases, must for a
long tine to come blight the prosperity
of a region which, but for the folly of
wholesale inflation, would have enjoyed
verybright prospects and almost univer-
sal comfort.
