' At the close of the Civil War, the 'United States had a population of about 33,0alieee. The Union Army ea the time of Lee's surrender num- bered slightly more than 1,000,O0J. 1t was calmt (' that another lull- li.on men and women were employed in the Northern States in the menu - facture of munitions. During the four year period of the Civil War, immigration bad fallen off, and re - •cruising had depleted the workers on the farms, and drawn largely from the laboring classes in the cities, The tall for munition workers was sup - Oiled from other branches of indus- try, with the result that ordinary en• terprises were eompell(xl to run short -banded or pay a high premium for labor. Compared with this situation, we 'End Canada's army of about 400,000 I rawn from a population of about 18,01)0,000, It is estimated' that some 1200,0100 men and women are now en - aged in munition work. Only 12^,l, of our army, however, has been en- listed from the farms and more than elf of the' total has been recruited from among the skilled and manual !laborers. The comparison show's the !same situation regarding' the scarcity Iof labor for ordinary enterprises, be - parse of the drain through the army 'for overseas forces and munition !workers. I During the Civil War period, wages gradually increased. Prices of com- modities also advanced, The laborer, Iliowever, skilled or unskilled, was placed at a disadvantage because his wages did n,ot advance in proportion }to the prices of necessities. Even ith this situation, conditions were tter among the mechanics and trades than among the clerks and • taxied people, whose incomes did of advance in proportion to the ill. reused price of living. When the Union Army started to aster out 111 1806 at the rate of about 300,000 per month for the three trimmer months, there 1155 for atime a glut of the labor market. Tbls was but tonperary, however, as 1860 witnessed an active industrial and agricultural revival,` '_'he rote rnfug soldiers, a large po'ceutage of whom 'had volunteered from the farming districts, went back to producing or migrated to the homestead lands in the newly opened Mississippi Valley .Status. This wtaolesale homestead- ing brought demands for new rail- ways; more than 15000 miles of rails rwore laid in the west during the five years directly following the war This railway work took up quantities of labor from Ito eastern centres and assisted to a marked degree the set- tlers who had gone into tho new 'country without sufficient funds to }tide them through the breaking and rowing seasons of the first years, Ig The first annual report of the (United States Commissioner of Labor �publ10hed in 1886, summarizes the Ile-ensatructton period, as followe: ! "The year 1867 can hardly be call- ed ono of financial panics or indus- trial depressions. although . hard Orme apparently Q prevailed, The stimulation to all inda3trles result - Ing frons'the war, the speculative en- icrprises undertaken, the extension pt credits, and the slackening of pro - election, ueeossarily caused a re- aletion, and a consequent stagnation of business; but the period was hard- ly spoken of by business nett as 0110 of any particular hardship.

Canada has, since the opening of the war, increased her manufacture of staples and reduced hor imports. Industry has been g11en an impetus that should mark a great era of de- vofopmeut, We have demonstrated that many new lines can be profitably manufactured in Canada. We fare the same dangers, however, that cul- minated in the crash of 1573 ill the United States—the danger of specu- latun and over -production, without properly developed markets. A general survey of the labor situ- ation in Canada indicates that abort 150,000 more men will be required after the war than aro now employed in Canada. This would about take 'tire of the proportion of returning soldiers which will require employ- ment after the war. The problem then arises as to what we will do with our munition workers—an esti- mated detail of about 200,000 being employed in this work at present, fully 75% of which number will be (0311ed upon to find other employment when the war is over. Wo will also have the problem of lidding employment for those immi- grants seeking work, because it will be difficult to restrict immigration to those who wish to engage In agricul- ture. Our greatest need to -day is more farmers and greater agricul- tural production, as will readily be recognized from the fact that our population is half urban and we con- sume more than we produce, There will bo great opportunity and a cry- ing need for farmers and farm labor• ers all through O rade atter the war, but unless proper governmental plan is worked out to direct our immigra- tion into that channel, we face the danger of a flood of unemployed in our cities and towns, while our farms remain undeveloped. Next in importance to the problem of increased agricultural production is that of the development of our vast natural resources through the extea- 510tl of existing and promotion of now industries. We must replace the munition plants by utilizing them in extending our present lines of manufacture and -promoting the In- troduction of new lines, Canada should prepare for increased partici- Patton in export trade after the war and should grasp the oppontunity now to extend in every possible way her industrial development to enable tho opportunity to be Laken advent - ago of, Tito problem of capital Is always closely related to that of tabor. Statistics show that Canada has al- ways been able to absorb immigra- tion in direct proportion to the amount of foreign capital it has been able to secure. 'It is estimated that during the six years preceding the war, Creat Britain invested $1,500,- 000,00.0 in Canada. After the war; the Mother Country will have her own tlnaneial problems to solve and wo will bo compelled to Look elsei where for our capital.

WARDING OFF WITCHES Modern Londoners Still Believe in Charms At at exhibition in London the fol. lowing collection ehowed that belief in tl.e supernatural Is stilt rife: Med- icinal charms formed a large part et the collection, Necklaces made of the sterns of the nightshade which, if put around the neck of an infant will help It to cul its teeth. A necklace of acorns is a specific against other infant ills.

A specimen shown was carried by a rheumatic subject for many years. A !hind charm against the sante complaint is a small bottle containing mercury. hermetic• ally sealed and covered with leather. It is stated that it is sold in London by one of the largest chemists In the world. Those who suffer front night- mare may welcome this prescription. A necklet of blue beads will protec't a child against bronchitis, while red beads or coral will Invert sore throats. A small bag containing n moth should be placed round the neclt of au infant as an antidote against teething con- vulsions. amvulslons. Since the heginnin, of the war another charm against disease has been introduced by Belgian rein gees—the wearing of cat's skin for rheumatism and chest troubles. One of the most curious of the exhibits was a sleep's heart, pierced with pins and nails to break the spell of a black witch. It was prepared by an'old wo- man who practised witchcraft in Lon- don as late as 1008.

The fact that wages in Canada are generally higher than those paid in Europe is recognized in the system of remuneration for men on adtive service. Clothing and all equipment in addition to food is also supplied to the Canadian soldier, leaving him with no expense except personal incidentals.

The Separation Allowance is $20.00 per month for the rank and file, $25.00 for sergeants and Staff -sergeants and $30.00 for warrant officers. The experience is that many men can afford to .assign half their pay to dependents, in addition. A considerable number of men who have enlisted in the Canadian forces have found themselves better off under the army rate of pay, which is granted in addition to board, lodging, clothingt equipment, transportation, etc., than they were with in civilian positions.
