A prominent Liberal :11.

Government agents estimate the wheat yield at 20 to 40 bushels per acre. Damage from rust very slight, The area over which cutting is in progress is fast widening.', -The latest report prepared by the Canadian Manufacturers' Association dealing with the labor situation in Canada shows that, in the factories and workshops of members of the As- sociation alone there is an immediate demand for 6,717 additional hands. Of this number 2,521 are men, 859 boys and 3,337 females.

The Allan Steamship Company, of Montreal, purpose having a fleet operating on the Pacific Ocean when the Grand Trunk Pacific line is in operation. The present pious to operate the Pacific fleet in conjunc- tion with the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and to run a service from the. Pacific terminal of the railway to dif- ferent ports in Japan and China and possibly Australia. -The Orangeville Sun reminds its readers thus: -"The estimates of the Dominion Government this year reach the grand total of 377,000,000. A few years ago the Liberals found fault with the Conservatives for spending less than half that amount, and both Sir Richard Cartwright and Senator McMillan promised a reduction if the Liberals secured the reins of power." -Denmark is said to be only two- thirds the size of Nova Scotia, yet it manages to export sixty million dol- lars' worth of butter and bacon to England annually. But dairying is carried on to advantage in that coun- try and no waste is allowed even in pasturing. Prof. Day, of the Agricul- tural College, says :-" In Denmark nothing is wasted. In order to pre- vent =necessary tramping of the pas- ture, cows are tethered in the fields while feeding. I even saw sheep con- fined there in the sante way." -At a meeting of the Commercial Intelligence Committee of the Cana- dian Maicufaeturers' Association, it was reported that, as the use of the metric system of weights and mea- sures bad not been suflicientiy exten- sive in Great Britain and the United States, the adoption of it in this coun- try would not be desirable. -•-Tholnas Duncan. of the Canadian lisfrn -A despatch from Baltimore last week gave a sad example of atheistic defiance of a Supreme Power, as will be seen by the following: -The strange death in the town of Allen, in south- ern Maryland, of Walter H. Whitney, a pronounced atheist, has created a profound sensationn Sunday night Whitney was conversing with friends when he suddenly exclaimed : "I defy the Almighty to strike me dead." In- stantly Whitney fell to the floor, and when those about him picked him up he was dead. Or- --An Ottawa despatch of lest week says: -Opinions here as to what the Government will do in regard to the .elections are shaped by what the G. T. 1?. will clo in the way of c•euupaign funds. Those who say there will be no election this fall base their opinion on the belief that the G. T. P. will not be able to float its bonds in the present state of the London money market. The uncertainty of elections anct the .tact that lnfr. Borden, If sueesssfnl, is pledged: to annul the contract, eonl- binelto snake capital cautions, Those who hold this view say the Govern- ment would be weakened bath in pres- tige and in financial assistance, awl contend that a few months' delay would relieve this situation. On the other hand, those v. ho expect an early election do so because they figure that the G. T. P. won't take any risk,, but ti•1Il insist on an appeal before they invest any capital, -Referring to the advantages of Rural Mail delivery in the United States, the Weekly Sun Says: ---"The official expenditure on the Unitas States postal service has been increas- ed by something like 60c per family, as a result of the partial introduction of a, rural mail delivery. The benefits of the system are placed by those in the enjoyment of it at four times that sum per fancily. The expenditure ne- cessary to extend the service to every farm house in the whole of the United States, including the most sparsely settled sections, will not exceed $1 per family, or less than half the value of the service to those enjoying it, A year or two ago the total expenditure on rural mail delivery in the United States was $12,000,000. It would not cost anything like that stun to intro- duce such a service here, and even if it did, what then? The Laurier Govern- ment has increased the expenditure on the general services of the country by $14,000,000 in eight years. The amount that is wasted on Little public works in the/form of docks, etc., for doubtful constituencies, and in bounties to iron manufacturers and subsidies to steam- boat owners and railway promoters, would easily meet the cost of provid- ing the farmers of Canada with this great boon. Why do we not get rural delivery then ? Because there is no organized vote behind the demand for it as there is behind these other things." -In older to avoid the possibility of a repetition of the great eaatastropha of 1900, when the sea swept over the low island on which the city of Gal- veston is built, a great wall of solid concrete three and half miles long and seventeen feet is now being construct- ed all along the water front. The plans for protection include, besides the construction of the sea-wall, the raising of the grade of the city to a level with the top of the wall. It would be impossible for the seato wash away the entire island (thirty utiles long and three utiles wide) thus protected. • -The Advance does not wish to be, nor is the writer, pessimistic. Yet, when one looks over the earth's broad area, the thought is forced home - How little is the world permeated by the Spirit of Him who taught the Golden Rule. Thousands are being mowed down by shot and shell, by sea and land. War rages, blood flows, death groans are heard, and families are bereft. To come nearer home, no farther away than Chicago, a mob of 4,000 iselubbed by police. In Ontario's Capital, even, labor troubles cause suffering, disaster and want. Some parts of the world have learned a little; but, alas, it is still true, that am "Man's inhumanity to man Immigration office, London, is in To- Makes countless thousands mourn." ronto on a holiday trip, He sats30,o00 British and 35,000 foreign settlers have been sent to Canada for the first six months of the present year.

One writer says :-•-" Men out of employment, whether skilled p clerks or artisans or unskilled laborers, are discovering that situations :ire even more difficult to obtain than hither=to, and throughout every trade and profession increasing difficulty is being experienced in eollerting money 11, for goods supplied or work done. Yet ;Ian the while the e.est of the necessaries of life rhotts s teudeuey to increase. Charitable institutions are in the 1 depths of despair. A tendert ellerita- isle institution recently sent out letters asking for contributions. The sole re- sponse was two penny stamps. I)e- psits in the post -office sayings bank this year show a. falling off averaging more than $5,1(100.000. The cause of ii the depression is mid to be the eery high ttationb REVENUE FROM DRINKS. The United States receivedlast year $131,000,000 of pnblic revenues from the tax on spirits and 347,000,000 from the tax on beer, a total of 3178,000,000. The Russian government estimates at 3358,000,000 its revenue this year from the sale of liquor, which is a. mo- nopoly of tin imperial government, except in Siberia, where, on July 1, it became a monopoly, also. In Great Britain the revenue from excises, as the tax is called, averages 3133,000,000 a year, not touch less than the revenue of the United States Gov- ernment from the same source, and there is, besides, the customs revenues from ruin, brandy and other intoxi- cants, amounting to $25,000,000. The French government derives in a year 300,000,000 francs from the tax on spirits, 25,000,000 from the tax on beer and 175,000,000 from the taxes on wine, cider being included. This, says the New York SLUT, is 3100,000,000 a year from liquor payments, exclusive of the amounts collected as customs duties from wines entered into France for re- shipment or for local consumption. Italy raises about 100,000,000 lire a a year from excise taxes, the equiva- lent of about $20,000,000. Holland. raises about 50,000,000fiorins from this source, equivalent to 320,000,000. Tbp actual contribution of the liquor trade to the income of the State is even larger than these figures indicate, for there are local as well as national taxes. Thus in New York the State revenue from the liquor tax is distinct from the Federal Government collec- tions, and in Germany the larger part of the tax is paid to local authorities. Zr— The Toronto Telegram says: "There is more of public hope and of political virtue in the instincts of the people who listen to R. R. Gamey', 3I. P. P., than there is in the pros'ings of the hypocrite and Pharisee journals i Which tt-- ' to frighten Col. J. P. Whit- neY away from the only real issue in Ontario politics.
