The townships' popu- tett= of .the settled„ counties of old Ontario -were gen.erally at the high- -est in 479 and 1880. From that time a decline set in, which has continued eirer • since. • The turn was due, it •be be assumed, in general terras, to a decline of the rewards of farm ihdustry, or to an. offer of higher re- wards elsewhere, or in other indus- These who bear protectionism • a grudge enay be pleased to note that the tarn coiecided with the inaugur- aeon of the national *they. A fman- dal boom in the United States may ' have been infuential and the home - needs of the United States were drawing- It was a year or two too soort foe the influence of the build- ing a the C.3 P. R., which set going 'the trek to Manitoba. . It was also toe soon for the labor-saving self - binder, which, if memory serves, did not come into general use till 1883 or later. The extent of the decline will be understood from the follow- ing figurs: The township population of 33ruce has declined, since 1880, 20,720, or 42 per cent; of Huron, since 1879, 19271, or 37 per cent; of rey, since 1879, 20,645, or 36 per cent; Of Norflit, since 1879, 10,370, or e39 per cent; of Ontario, since 187, 11;62.4, or 32 per cent; of Dur- ham, sine 1874, 9,820 • or 40 per eent;• and of Northumberland, since 1873, 9,656, or 34 per cent. The per- sistenee of so exhausting a decline leaves doubt •of. the persisting in-. equality of economic opportunity on the farms of old Ontario. From the general economic point of vew, the people who left the farms did better 'for themselves and produced more wealth than if they had stayed at home. But that consolation must e tempered by the reflection that duking the. building of the C. P. R. and later from 1900 to 1913, and then rom 1914 fee the end of the war tae prosperity Which drew the people from the land was largely economically unsouna, • • HURON NOTES —Representative MeMechan, of a London oil firm, was in Brussels- last week conferring with members of the council and other to-wnfolk relative to oiling turnberr7 street, the macadam as well ae the business portion.
