The following article, taken from the
Yiotoria .Warder is quite to the point
concerning the matter contained therein,
and we readily endorse the views. of
• the W zrd'er;--
The Toronto TTork1 is complaining o
the mariner in which the Globe and Ilia
are striving to push their ciroulatiot
and accuses these journals of attempt
to crush out independent evening jour
alism and spread themselves over th
whole ground, The circulation of
paper might, udder ordinary circum
stances,, tie considered the business sole
Vof the paper in question, but if it i
pushed at the expense of other paper
there might be just cause' of complaint
It is quite possible that. both Globe ani
Mail find the rates of their weekly ed
tions runremunerative, and in conse
quence have not only advanced the
price of their dailies, but have in,con-
templation the iss ting of one cent pa-
bers.in order to supplement. their re-
sources. The low prices. at which the
weekly tt'%lobe and 111'ait are offered tend.
very much towards in-Taring;in-Taring;the influ-
ence and usefulness of the country pa-
pers, and if any .one should cry out It
ought to be the country paper. It may'
not possibly • strike the Mail that its
weekly edition, at its present low price,
injures the Conservative country paper,
and through the country paper, the
Conservative party. Our powerful con-
temporary might very well leave the.
fortunes of the Conservative party iii
the rural constituencies in the hands of
the Conservative .country press... iYe
would go a step further and show that
by crushing out the country "press the
city papers would wield, an influence
injurious to. rural niuniciplities, for no
matter to what .extent they Cliffe}' on
political questions they will bring their
united influence to bear in'securing for
their city, at the expense of the whole
Province, all that is worth having. In
support of this view we point to the
action of the Globe and• Mail. in .refer-
ence to the new parliament buildings
at Toronto. Besides this. it is absurd.
for the residents of rural, municipalities
to suppose that because they get a large
city weekly for the same , money they.
pay for a good local paperthat they
receive more value for their' Money.;_
This is 'a inis`tak`en `id1ea. 1 ny'-inan
who take the least interest in the af-
. fairs of his township or • co.unty, if .lie'
can afford only one' .paper, should.: take,
the one published in his own county:.
The local paper furnishes its: readers
with the news of the • entire .district.,
market reports, agricultural news,
county, townand township weed' re
ports;, accounts of agricultural soaietre4
and ;hews, and. local news generally.,
atone of whieh'the city papers can pre-
tend to.d'o. It will thus be seen that
neither-G.lobe, Mail, nor any other city
weekly can supply the; place •of the
local paper, glib -tongued regents to the
contrary notwithstanding, To which
do the people look when therh is some
local schenie to be advocated? ' Diethey
run to the city papers ? .No, for. they
k,inw it would be of no meet() do So,-
Then the 'country press should let those
who take.a city weekly; in prefferenbe
to a local paper, go to the. city editors
for any favors they may have to ask.
A good live paper: is. the blest institution
any town can ,possess.. These,. ate our
private opinions- publicly an emphati
cally expressed; and we should like to
]?ear the views of ours brethren oE'the
country press on this,,to.. pious at .,oast,

Mit, G. B. Buriand, progrietor•.of the
Canadian Illustrated News of Montreal,
is making arrangements fora supple-
wentof bis paper to be issued in To.
route. The first issue is to be out
before the 24th of May,and the paper
will contain from time to time, illustra-
tions of the principal business places
of the city besides the educational in-
stitutions.
TIIE clevelopement of; cotton menu-
facturin and other industries will, we
trust, soon afford an ample field, for
French-Canadians in the Dominion.
,HIitherto they have been compelledto
migrate to the Eastern State& to find
employment in factories. The Amer-
icans confess that they are indefati-
gable workers, and docile ;nevertheless,
they are roundly abused by the Massa•
chusetts Bureau of Labour in its last
report,. because, " they do not come to
make a home amongst us ; and voting
they .care not about," . The Bureau
lakes direct• issue with Canadian Re -
forth journals as regards the character
of the emigration from the Dominion,
for it declares that the purpose of the
emigrants " is merely to sojourn a : few
years as "aliens, touching us only at a
single point, that of work, and when
they have, gathered out of us what, will
satisfytheir ends, to get away to:
whence they came, and bestow it
there." This explains the enormus in-
flux of Freed -Canadians along the
Quebec frontier as, compared with the
efflux, The French-Canadian consti-
tutes a valuable portion of the labour
in New England, and as our manufac-I
'tering• interests extend, these .trained
factory hanire and art tans will return
to their native .land—Lill-al.
