"Incidentals" in Free Trade
England.
There are elements entering into
the cost of living in Free Trade
Eugland of whieh the Canadian
workiogman knows nothing.
Among these may be mentioned
stamp duties, license, &c. It he
wishes a lease, or perhaps a deed
for the property, hemust have said
document stamped by the govern-
ment with a sten-1p of the value of
from 15 cents to $2.50, according
to the rental or price agreed upon.
If he desires to go into domestic
service, he, or his enaployer, must
• pay a government license of
per annum. If he has a bright in•
telligent son with a taste for the
law, before he can become an in-
dentured clerk to a solicitor, he
must first pay the Crown the sum
ol $4.00, and after completing his
studies he must take a further
license, at a cost of $25o, before he
can present a case in court or at
the bar. If he wishes further to.
become a notary public he must
be at a further cost of $15o. If,
however, the young man's ta.st es
run toward medicine a lieense fee
of $5o is required before he can
practice. If he wants to get mar-
ried and wishes a special license,
in order to avoid being "cried"
three Sundays in church, he must
pay $25 for it.
It the English workman has a
little savings in the bank, he must
pay the government 2C for every
• check he draws. He must pay the
same for every receipt he draws
over $5. All notes or due bills
must bear a government stamp of
from 25c to several dollars accord-
ing to the amount. If he keeps a
dog he must have au annual lic-
ense of $5 for each such canine. It
he keeps a gun he must show a
$2.5ci license, and to shoot winged
game he must pay$15. If he be a
tradesman who keeps a horse or
pony and wishes to have a carriage
for the pleasure of' his family, he
must pay the government $2.5o
per wheel per annum, thus we find
many more two wheel than four
wheel carriages throughout Eng-
land. These and many more of a
like kind are "iooidentals" which
our Free Trade friends never reter
to when picturingthe beauties of
"Free Trade as it is in England:"
"A similar result came from the op-
eaing up of London, through the re-
tiremenb from public life of Mr. W. R.
Meredith, and in another arena an
equally significant event was the selec-
tion of Hon. Mr. McIssac, a stalwart
supporter of trade freedom, as successor
to the late Sir John Thompson." -Lon-
don Advertiser.
• This is but a gentle reference to
• the London election which follow-
ed the retirement of Mr, Meredith.
But it is quite as much as the
Advertiser thought it safe to say.
The Advertiser, a strong temper-
ance paper, dare not expose the
true inwardness of that election.
Three huucired and thirteen days
• in the year the Advertiser sends
out to its readers the declaratory
motto :
"God's in His Retype, •

Yet it dare not expose the tru(11

The Iron Duties.
There is nothing connected with
the tariff that. the -Liberals inveigh
against so bitterly and se emphatic-
ally as the duties on iron. In their
opinion those duties • are the
very worst feature of a very
bad tariii. But the Montreal Star,
a striotly independent journal, and
by no means ardentlyProtectionist,
looks upon the iron duties in a
very different light. It in fact
favors them, and boldly gives its
reasons for believing in them, It
says:
The iron duties, for instance, though
undoubtedly high, are pronerly so; and
are at the present time full:111111,g grendly
the mission of all protective impoets.
Iron production furnishes the vertebral
column of the industrial life of the ne •
tion. Unless the whole purpose of the
• National Policy was a mistake, it must
have, sooner or later, been rounded out
with protection tor iron. The Canadian
iron can be bought at the furnaces in
Nova Scotia at the same price as Scolcii
irk n of the same quality can be bought
in Glasgow, so that the tariff cannot be
said to have greatly enhanced the price,
and yet it has had the effect of building
up an industry giving employment to
thousands of Canadians. T.he fiscal year
ending June 80, 1894there were 20.153
tons of big iron produced M Canada;
for the year ending June 30, 1894, the
production of pig iron in Canada was
62,522 tons, an increase of more than
200 per cent. in three years. For the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1891, the
home production supplied but 19.8 per
cent. of the consumptive requireinentof
the country, while during the Al& year
ending June 80, 1894, the home pro-
duction was 58 per cent. of the require-
ment. When it is remembered thab
this growth took place during a period
of world wide commercial depression,
it must be regarded as a remarkably
strong proof of the efficiency of a pro-
tective tariff, If there had been no
tariff, instead of the iron being made
in Canada and giving employment to
rlanadian workmen, it would have been
made in the United States. It will be
noted, of course, that though the iron
duties were raised in 1881, it took some
time for them to effect the build.
ing of furnaces and the construction of
works.
The difference in the cost of iron at
the Canadian furnaces and the price in
the Ontario market is the amount 'paid
for freight or Canadian railways It
helps to swell the receipts of the Inter -
colonial Railway, thus reducing Cana-
dians taxation, and enables the Grand
Trunk and CanadianPacific Railways to
make a better slowing than they would
otherwise do. for if the iron is brought
from the United States, American rail-
ways carry it to the boundary line and
the Canadian railways have only a short
haul.
Then it is a mistake to attribute the
great falling off in iron freights on ocean
vessels salving at the port of M.ontreal
to the tariff. The real cause, is the
cheapening of iron production inthe
United States. Canada's chilif iron
market is in Ontario and the American
iron can now be laid down in Ontario
cheaper than British iron, paying the
same duty. If there were no duty at all
the position would be exactly the same.
The British iron could not compete with
the American iron in Ontario. For
several years it has been simply a fight
between Canadian and American iron.
VIM
Free Trade means that we shall
put each article of our varied in-
dustries in competition with that
nation or people that can produce
that article at the least cost. In
other words, we are invited to
put our laborers into competition
with the least well-paid labor of
every nation on the globe.

If the policy of Protection is not
wise, it indicates that the human
race, outside of England, has not
coinmon sense enough to take care
of itself. By believing, therefore,
that it is the proper policy for Can-
ada we do not disparage the
average common sense of our own
people nor discredit the average
common sense of mankind,

Will some of our Free Trade
friends tell us how many Canadi-
ans emigrated from Canada to
Free Trade Eugland during the
last ten years, with the view . of
living there to enjoy the greater
prosperity of that country? • It
would be interesting to know. It
should not be forgotteu that the
Canadians who., in the meantime,
emigrated to the United States,
went to a country much more
highly protected than the one they
left.

the chain of Rooky Mountains extending
from the frozen north to the Galt of
Mexico. These mountains contain all
the precinua metals,but that portion lfing
• withia the boundaries of Colorado appears
to be especially prolific. Since Zebulon
Pike's followers many years ago discover-
ed traces of gold :in the neighborhood of
the peak named after biro, it has been
generally believed that there were rich
deposits of the yellow metal in the sure,
roanding laills,qted that timi wont(' re-
veal their whereabouts to the hardy pros.
pecter, Those deposits have now been
uncovered, at least in part, and the re-
sult is a surprise to the world. Learned
geologibts visited the district after the first
discoveries, and after critical examination
declared that there might be a email
amount of gold, but that it . &mild not be
found in paying :quantities except in quite
isolated cases. But they were mistaken.
Gold was foand in Almost every part of the
district, not only in paying quantitiee, but
in suoh vast and rich deposits that it has
got to be a common saying, and believed
in that all the miner had to do was to
mit into the earth a distance of 50 or 60
feet, at a cost of el0 per foot or there
abouts, and he would heye a gold mine
that would "keep the wolf from the door"
so long as he remained on this earth.
About four years ago a poor struggling
carpenter, named Stratton, who had had
some experience in prospecting for gold,
but without mar* success!, determined to
try the Cripple Creek district, Helfound gold
and Set to work 10 dig. He had the good
fortune to find enough afterthe first stroke
of the pick to pay expenees-that is, the
find paid., as they phrase it in mining
'camps, "from the grase roots." That
man was so poor in parse when he started
that he oould not pay the railroad fare to
the station nearest the camp To -day
his wraith is so great that be doesn't care
to keep count of it, but his income is
$1,500,000 a year. He could double it
if he worked his mine for the purpose of
extracting all the gold it contains as rapid-
ly as poseible, but he says that the money
is safer in she ground than in some of the
banks, and o keeps only eight or ten men
instead of "the hundreds that could be em-
ployed taking out what gold he may need
• for sin nding money. He owns piftright
.the Independence mine, besides having
large intereete in other mines in thii dis-
taro, While theelistrict wan in its in-
fancy the mine was bargained for at
$5,000, but when pay day canoe around
the purchaser failed to'put up the money,

to be very generous with the great wealth
he has been fortunate enough to oecure.
He, horkever, is but one of the many who
have soddenly beocime prodigiously rich
by the development of this region, he is
mentioned because he haa been the mos)
successful. The principal mountaios
bearing gold in this district are Little and
Big Bull hills, Battle Mountain, Growls
Mountain, Bevan and &moon Hills. Gold
Hills, Mineral Hill, Ribyolite andeNipple
Mountains. The most famous, because
up to the present time the most prone
are Raven, Little Boll, Battle and Gold
Hill The rooks in therm hills appear to
be literally impregnated with gold. Veins
are found in almost every part, and they
all contain gold io enormous quantities
when the miner gnes deep enough. The
town of Victor, where I made headquarters
the few days I remained in the camp, is
literally alive with "holes in the ground."
I noticed that the back yard of one of the
newspapers had ooe of these holes, so I
presume the editor doesn't care whether
the subscribers bring.in turnips and cord-
wood in payment of the eubscription or
not. A gold mine in its 'backyard is a

may have heard of the last dollar mine on
Bull Hill near Victor. It was being
worked on an eight mouths' lease by three
men. One of the men gob tired and
wanted out. His interest wits offered for

He promised to look it over in a day or

who had made the offer eought other help.
He had to have money to keep going, and

expires in March next. In two days after
the transfer the mine was turning out
gold ore to the value of $1,800 to 62,000

three habitats now going night and day,

pires there will be a big hole in the
ground and some very full pooket books.,
bat the ore will no doubt continuo deep

most wonderful camp in the world. The
distriat is about 12 miles square. There
is not an inch in the whole territory that
is not covered by a claim. In some places
where they cross and recross in order that
'all angles may be covered the claims are
twelve deep or more. This leads to freq-
eent litigation to determine who has the
