But of the number of deaths directly traceable to worry no such account is kept, yet all physicians know that these are by no means small. One constant source of worry and anxiety for the wage-earner or man of small means is, how he may make provision for old. age when his earnings are bat little more than sufficient to provide the daily needs. To such a one the Canadian Government Annuities scheme is indeed a blessing. In no other way can he get such wonderfully good returns for that "little more" he may have to invest. for it will when his Annuity begins enable him to spend the principal as well as the interest theron without his' income becoming smaller no mat- ter how long he may live.

The ostablisbment of great iron and steel industries in Nova Scotia has revolutionized conditions throughout the three provinces, A profit- able home market has been created for everything the farmers produce. These in- dustries have been equally beneficial to the fisherman As the steel industries are located in Novia Scotia the influence on the price of farm lands has been most narked in that province, but Prince Ed. ward Island and New Brunswick have been greatly benefited. The development of St. John as a winter port has also helped to increase farm values irx Now Brunswick.

Tho Price of Barley li con October 1, 1890, to August 27, 1894, the United States customs duty on barley wts 30 cents per bushel. From August 27, 1894, to July 24, 1897, the duty wae thirty per cent ad valorem, equivalent to a little over ton cents per bushel. On July 94, 1897, the specific duty of thirty cents per bushel was re- stored and it has been continued ever since. Of course during a period of 21 years there would naturally be consider- able variations in prices, but for purposes of comparison it will be fair to take the three years previous to the reduction of the duty, the three years during which the low duty prevailed and the first three years after the duty of thirty cents per• bushel was restored. :According to reports of the United States Department of Ag- riculture the farm prices of barley aver- aged 44,90 cegts per bushel during 1892, 1893 and 1894 under a specific duty of thirty cents per bushel. In 1895, 1890 and 11897, under a duty of about ten cents per bushel the farm prices averaged 34,53, while for 1898, 1899 and 1900; under a. specific duty of thirty cents per bushel, the priess averaged 40.8 cents per bushel. Thus, instead of the Canadian farmer get- tidg an increased price for the barley be sent to the United States as a result of the reduced duty the price came down in the United States. It is reasonable to draw the conclusion that if as a result of reciprocity large quantities of Canadian barley, wheat and oats go into the United States, it is more probable that the American prices will come down than that the Canadian prices will go up.
