The keenest experts in Cobalt place the minimum returns to the public from the Gillies limit at $1,000,000, and the Maximum at $5,000,000 vritll the possi- bility of going behind even that figure, This calculatiou may be changed eith- er for better or worse. But the wealth yielded by the Gillies limit is likely to tri uuphantly vindicate the principles of ptiblic ownership as applied by the Cobalt policy of Iron, J, P. Whitney. * *t * —In London, England, forty shil- lings ($10) is the fine assessed against any person caught in the act of throw- ing banana skins on the sidewalk, If we hail such a law in Canada there would, be fewer accidents caused to persons slipping on banana skins. It is not children alone who are guilty of this unischievous habit, but grown persons, who might be credited with common sense, can be seen every day walking on the sidewalks and eating bananas and throwing the skins to the walks. It seems as if they were pos- sessed with a desire to maim people. * * 4 —Prof. Snyder of the Minnesota Agricultural College gives the follow- ing valuations of barnyard manure, , based on chemical analysis : If applied to a worn-out soil at the rate of 8 tons per acre, the increase of cern the first year will be 20 to 25 bushels per acre, This would be worth $7, The next year the land will produce 6 bushels more of wheat, worth, say $1.50. If seeded to clover, it would yield at least a ton or more of hay, worth $5. Following the clover with wheat again, a gain of 8 bushels per acre, worth $6, will follow. Then will come 12 to 15 bushels more of oats, worth $3, The increase in the five crops, due to the dressing of 8 tons of farm manure and the reproduction of clo- ver, is alone worth $25, making the value of the manure $3 per ton, dis- tributed over five years, equivalent to 60 cents per ton as the annual crop - producing value of the manure. * * * —Says the Toronto Telegram : "A million a month" in Customs receipts at the port of Toronto is nothing to cheer about. The free trade soul of the Globe is troubled by the figures, which intimdte an enormous tax upon the Canadian importer. The figures also indicate an enormous advantage to the Aniericau exporter. Assume that one-third of the million a month collected at the port of Toronto repre- sents duties at the rate of 25 per cent, levied upon goods that should' be made in Canada. A revenue of $300,000 in duties at 25 per cent. represents a value of $1,200,000 in imports. A million a month means that at Toron- to alone, per annum, duty is being paid on $12,000,000 American imports that should be Canadian products. It is products, not imports, that make a country great. If Canada world manufacture more she would import less, and this country would have something else to glory in than a million a month in Customs dues at Toronto. * —The Monctonielland deal, whereof the exposure produced a sensation last session, involved the purchase by the Intercolonial for $1,000 an acre of nearly fourteen acres of land, which a. friend of the Minister, knowing the land would be bought, had secured in advance at a little over one-third the price paid by the government. Mr. Emrnet•son could as well as Mr. Lodge have bought this land for $5,375 in- stead of paying $13,880. But it is un- derstood that the disclosure of last session was only the first part of the story. Other Iand was purchased by Mr. Lodge at the same time, and also transferred to the government at about the same margin of profit. Payment for this additional property was not made until after the fiscal year bad closed, and the Auditor - General's statement concerning it has not yet been published. That will be a contract for the Public Accounts Committee to investigate at the next session. It will be found that some thousands of additional rake-off have been made on these land transactions. *** —A recent magazine article speaks truly when it says :—"Never did any nation render a conquered people such generous treatment as has Great Bri- tain given its recent enemies, the Boers. In addition to giving shelter, food, clothing, hospitals and schools to the refugees during the war, and in addition also to the gift of millions for re -stocking their farms and re -build- ing their homes after its close, they have given one of the freest constitu- tions on the face of the earth. Every Boer, no matter hove; bitterly he may have fought, receives a free and un- trammelled franchise and all the pri- vileges of British citizenship. There are those who question the wisdom of this generosity, but we deem it an ap- peal to the highest principles of honor and believe that no more loyal sub- jects to the Crown will he found than those who were late in arras against it. We hope that both British and Boer in South Africa will unite in giv- ing similar liberties to the great black population which is still unenfrancbis- ed. The Boers may also use their be- loved Taal dialect in parliamentary debate, a practice which we believe they will soon outgrow." *;* —T. II. Lloyd was a Newmarket lawyer, and handled large sums of trust money. He juggled -with and misused these funds. The discovery of wrongdoing was foIIowed by a nieeting of the clients interested and Lloyd made an assignment for their benefit. The liabilities were estimat- ed on the day of his sentence, Decem- ber 5th, at about $70,1100, and of this 850,000 was secured. The charges to which Lloyd pleaded guilty were -- keeping $900 and $2,275 from the executors of the estate of David A. Weddell, and appropriating $L512 front the estate of Wm. Lout, The maximum penalty for his offence was fourteen years; he was sentenced to. eighteen months. Now after serving only nine rnonths, be has been pars dotted by the Minister of ,justice. A person is led to ask --whether if Lloyd was a poor, bard -working anal, his Cerin would have been shortened. The probability is that be would have had to serve out his full terra. This kind ref favoritism tends to make Canadian law a farce. Lloyd's sentence was J, tight enough, and if the law is to be a tenor to evil doers, be should have' been allowed to put in his full sen. tense. --The greatest modern Chinese statesman, Wensiantg, often said to foreign diplomats: "You are all too anxious to wake us and start tui on a t ttaw rood, mid you will do ft; but ralj will all regret it, for onee awakening and started we- shall go fast and far - farther than you think and lunch faster than you want." In recent years China has lost two-thirds of her territory, though only one -twelfth of her population. Yet there remain 1,500,Q()0 square miles of Land, an ha. meow block pf available laud, and 330,000,0011 people, She may change dynasties, she may come under the control of some foreign power, but she will not reuse to be. She will not be wiped mit. Like the king in a chess gauze, she play be checkmated, but she cannot be removed from the hoard, Some pawn or knight, some Japanese or Muscovite, will cover her exposure and continue the gauze. Her very numbers is God's promise of per- petuity, The yellow race will remain the tneeece of the world. It lies on the shore of Asia a large club, only waiting to be picked up by some Her- cules. China is the world's problem for the twentieth century. 'ti ho will seize this (dhtbi *** —In the fiscal year, wide"). closed an June 30tH last, Canada's foreign trade totalled $550,804,216. This is largely in excess of the trade returns for any previous year. It equals one-sixth of the foreign trade of the United States, although that country has fourteen times our population. 'When we pro- ceed to analyze the factors that make up this imposing whole, we And some causes for dissatisfaction. For in- stance, the balance of trade is materi- ally against us.'bite our importr amounted to $204,267,616, our exports reached only $256,586,630, In other words, foreign countries sent into Canada thirty-eight million dollars' worth more goods than Canada sold to them, Looking to the United States returns we find the trade bal- ance is constantly in its favor, Its exports last year reached one and three-quarter millions, while its im- ports amounted to a little over one and one-quarter millions. The signi- ficance of these figures will appeal to every thoughtful business mat. Can- ada's fiscal policy, based upon purely patriotic lines would develop a foreign trade in which our exports would ex- ceed our imports, in preference to sending, as we do now, nearly forty millions of Canadian money to other countries to balance our trade ac count.—[Guelph Herald. AN OUTSIDE OPINION. (Montreal Gazette. The Northumberland -Durham Pow- er Company has obtained from the province of Ontario a lease of the Healy's Falls power, on the Trent waters. The term is 20 years, and after the first two years the rental is to be 75 cents a year a horse -power, but in no ease is it to be less than $2,- 250. On renewal the rent will be $1 a horse -power and not less than $3,000 a year. The lessees are required to proceed forthwith to develop and use the power in some industrial process, but may sell the surplus to other users at a rate to be fixed by the lieutenant - governor in council. If they do not fully develop the proposition and any- one in the locality wants power they cannot supply, they may be ordered to extend their works under pain of forfeiture of their lease. These are stiff terms on which to invest a con- siderable sum of money in a district where there is no large center of popu- lation and no established demand for electric power. They are objected to by some newspapers, however, as be- ing too easy, and the doctrine is being laid down that no lease 1 f a provincial water power should be made for a longer term than ten years. All of which is au advertisement to men with industrial enterprises to keep ,away from Ontario till the cranks have had their day, done all the mis- chief they can and giveu away to those who understand that nen with capital when they invest it do so with the idea of making more capital in the process and not for the purpose of aid- ing socialists and fadsters to promote their theories. 4 —The act respecting the preserva- tion of peace in the vicinity of public works has by proclamation been put into effect upon the line of the trans- continental railway in Manitoba, On- tario and Quebec. Under this law no intoxicating liquor is allowed to be sold within twenty miles of the rail- way works. - - -The crops in Old Ontario will beat the West all hollow this season. For instance, 11fr. Lorne Tyndall of Hut- Iett will at least have 700 bushels off 22 acres. He has is thirteen acre field which he verily believes will yield 40 bushels to the acre. It is a mixture of Michigan Amber and Dawson Goiden Chaff. - • When Children Are Sick They eat something that disagrees, catch cold, have cramps or colic.
