yet the mismanagement of one or
two nines creates such a flurry in
the money markets of Eastern Can-

lose faith in the resources of their
country, With such resources as
we possess, the people of the
United States in ten years' time
would be producing ten times
the output tllown in the year 1900.
Canadians, however, are content to

developed if foreign capital cannot
be induced to take the risk of re-
claiming them from the soil to the
use of mankind,

THE SCHOOL BOOK MONOPOLY.
(Cinelplt Horald.)
The Ross Government is wedded
to the school book monopoly. On
the floor of the Legislature Wed-
nesday the ministers, Iron. Rich-
ard Harcourt and Iron. Geo. W.
Ross, defended the existence of the
ring and the system by which it is
enabled to exact heavy tribute from
the people of the Province.
The answer of Mr. Ross to the
arguments of the Opposition is that
school books in Ontario are cheap;
that it only costs five dollars to sup-
ply a pupil with a full set. We do
not know how Mr. Ross figures out
floe aggregate, nor can we see the
object to be gained by attempting
to inform the people on a subject in
which they are daily brought face
to face, not with theories or calcu-
lations, but with actual facts. Op-
posed to Mr. Ross' calulations
are the calculations of mon who
probably know as much about the
publishing business as the premier
does. Figuring on a basis of 500,-
000 school children it is claimed
that the profits in the making of
the school books they require would
aggregate $100,000 a year.
The people know without any
calculations that school books are
too high. Compared with books of
like quality which have only a
fortuitous sale, these school books
which the people are forced to buy
are unquestionably dear. Were
competition to be permitted to en-
ter into the making of them it is
certain that a reduction in their re-
tail price of 25 per cent. would
quickly follow. There is no risk
in the business. Parents are
forced to send their children to
school and forced to supply them
with books. We have no doubt
but that at the beginning of any
year the publisher can estimate to
within a thousand or so how many
of any one kind of school books
will be sold during the twelve
months. It is a sure sale, and a
sure and an exorbitant profit.
No remedy can be expected from
the Ross Government. It is tied
neck and heels to the book ring.
Redress can come only through
Mr. Whitney, who has promised to
establish a Government printing
bureau,. if necessary, to give the
people cheap school books.

THE PEOPLES' POPULAR STARE.
* *
-Considerable progress has been
made in Michigan in the reduction
of railway rates. Under the exist-
ing law all conlpallies whose pas-
senger earnings are in excess
of $3.000 per mile per annum are
permitted to charge only two cents
per mile for carrying passengers ;
all companies whose earnings are
between $2,000 and $3,000 per mile
23c. per mile: and all companies
earning less than $2,000 per mile.
may charge 3 cents per mile, The
Grand Trunk Railway, being a for-
eign corporation in Michigan, is re-
quired to give a rate of 2c, per mile
throughout the State from all its
stations. All railroad companies
are requested to sell 1,000 mile
tickets, good for the use of the pur-
chaser and his wife and family, at
the rate of 2c. per mile. If these
laws were applied in Ontario we
should have a 2c rate over a con-
siderable portion of our railway
mileage. The right to purchase
1,000 mile tickets at the 2c. rate,
for use on all railroads, would also
mean a large saving in railroad
fare to many families. -[Weekly

-At last session of the Legisla-
ture Dr. Jessop asked for a return
of trees destroyed on account of the
prevalence of San Jose scale. The
return shows that the total number
of trees condemned to be destroyed
in the county of Lincoln by Gov-
ernment inspectors was 20,965. Of
this number 17,788 were destroyed,
leaving 3,177 condemned but not
destroyed. Dr. Jessop will en-
deavor to show that the trees not
destroyed were trecs of friends of
the Government.
* * *
-The Opposition is preparing a
bill for introduction in the Legis-
lature which will have a tendency
to stop crooked work in polling
booths. It is intended that the
measure shall be an amendment
to the Election Act, and provide
that every voter must show the
number of his ballot to the deputy
returning officer immediately after
making it before the paper is de-
posited in the box provided for bal-
lots. The Act should prove of in-
estimable value in preventing
"stuffing" tactics. -[Toronto News.

-At a banquet in Toronto re-
cently Hon. Geo. E. Foster re-
sponded to the toast, "The Trade
and Commerce of Canada." He
spoke Of the present tido of pros-
perity, of which Canada is now on
the crest, and was very hopeful of
the future. Dealing with the say-
ing "Trade follows the fiag," Mr.
Foster took up the position of af-
fairs in S. Africa, where the flag has
been planted, never to be ousted,
he hoped. The British taxpayer is
paying the $500,000,000 it cost to
place the flag over united South
Africa, while the German, French,
Belgian and other traders would
share in the trade that would fol-
low the flag without paying their
share of the British burden. "Is
this fair ?,' asked Mr, Foster.
"Britain's generosity is wonderful
and magnificent, but will it not
also prove to be unwise ? Britain is
now ready for the commercial bat-
tle with the world, which is rapid-
ly coming, and if Canada is to take
her part, the name of Canada should
become synonymous with trade
honesty." Reference was made to
export of defective apples, cheese,
butter, etc., as well as to reports of
jam made of turnips.

-Arrangements were complete at
Wilkesbarre on January 23 for the
celebration of a notable anniversary
the one hundreth, of the burning of
coal in this country, says the New
York Tribune. This took place at
the old Fell House, the experiment
being conducted by Jesse Fell on
February 11, 1802, and was wit-
nessed by all the prominent men in
town, word having been received
from Mauch Chunk that the "black
rock," so plentiful in the region
would burnand give heat. The
occasion was made an important
event, and the anniversary will be
no less W. Tho old grate is still
in existence, although it was
twice stolen, once at the close
of the Philadelphia Centennial, and
again a short time later, and it is
now in the same spot where it first
held the glowing coal.

-The Scientific American gives
the plans for a new railway clear-
ing yard to be provided in Chicago,
the greatest centre of freight traffic
in the world, lying+as it does at the
junction of the eastern and western
trunk lines. Here, every day of
the year, there .are handled abont
10,000 cars of freight. Of this
number over sixty per cent are cars
loaded with through freight or
cars which have entered the city
by one railroad. To transfer these
6,000 cars will mean, in the case of
many of them, that they will have
to be hauled over 15 miles from the
incoming yard of one road to the
outgoing yard of another, and that
there will be a delay of a whole
day in making the transfer. The
other 4,000 cars are loaded with
freight for Chicago. Under the
system which has hitherto been
followed in the transfer of this
traffic, the trunk lines enter a
terminal yard of the Company, in
which the freight trains are broken
up, the cars sorted according to
their destination, and the outgoing
trains made up. But by the new
system, the transfer of the cars to
classification tracks will be made
by gravity, and it is expected that
eight thousand cars daily can be
handled with ease.
-The Monetary Times has the
following, on emigration from the
States to the Canadian North West
-A. stream of emigration from
Iowa and adjoining American
States to the Canadian North-West
has set in. For this there are sev-
eral causes, prominent among
which are the prior occupation of
the available lands in these States;
the fame of the rich harvest which
was reaped last year in the Cana-
dian North-West ; the low price at
which fine land in our North-West
can be obtained, against prices of
from 850 to $100 an acre in these
States. '.These are determining
factors. The emigration that has
set in is but the forerunner of an
exodus, which has startled some
foolish people in Iowa and round
about; and they are doing their lit-
tle utmost to prevent the increase,
and if,possible, to put a stop to a
movement which must prove of es-
sential benefit to the people who
