made in Canada since the count was
made in 1.901. The services of the Chief
Census Conin issiouer are being retained
for the purpose of getting the informa-
tion, The idea is to avoid the expense
that would be entailed by the engage-
ment of enumerators all aver the couu-
try, and yet to secure data engngti to
indicate the headway that is being made
in agriculture, lumbering, manufactur—
ing, fishing, mining, stock raisiug,dairy-
iug , etc., in the years that elapse be-
tween the decennial censuses,
AN OLD FRIEND.
One of the Tory campaign pamphlets,
bearing the name of hir. Watsou Griffin,
call upon the furthers to vote the Tory
ticket for higher protection auda home
market. It is obvious that Mr. Griffiu
did not take part in the tariff campaign
between 1876 and 1878. In those days
The amouut of arable land in Japan,
exclusive of Formosa, is a little less
than 15,000,000 acres. This is about
2,000,000 acres in excess of the area of
cleared laud in Ontario. Still, Japan
before the outbreak of the preseut war
was able to feed a population of 40,000,-
000 from this small area and the harvest
of the sea. We can hardly expect to
accomplish similar results in Ontario.
In Japan practically all the labor is done
by hand, the farms being so small that a
hcrse would be out of place on them.
Our peuple would not cousent to toil
undersimilar conditions. At the same
time what Japan has accomplished is an
indication of how much more we might
love Stock markets.
Toronto, Sept. 20, ---Business at the city
cattle market today was the dullest for
come timo,aud prices were from 15o to
20e lower, with the oxoeptiou of very
choice feeders, which were about steady.
There was a very heavy run of inferior
cattle, but good butcher cattle were
scarce. There were but one or two loads
of medium export cattle offering and the
demand was not active, Trade was ex-
ceediugly slow all morning, and what
sales were made were on a basis of lower
prices. Buyers and sellers were decided-
ly apart,aud a waiting market developed,
the buyers waiting for a further break in
prices, and the sellers having au idea
that there would be a brisker demand on
towards evening. Owing to this feeling
there were a good many loads of stock
left unsold at 2 o'clock.
The total run was 114 loads, with 1,500
bead of cattle, 3,152 sheep and lambs,
710 hogs and 114 calves.
The following are the quotations:
Exporters' cattle-- Per 100 lbs.

the farmers were told, as now, that a acoaniplish in Ontario in the mainten-
high duty on manufactures would build
up tall chimneys and give them a home
market at lucrative prices for all they
produced. Hundreds of speeches and
thousands of editorials demonstrated
that the possessiou of a home market
each as the N. P. would bring into ex-
istence was infinitely preferable to ex-
porting to the British market where
fterce competition prevailed. It is hardly
worth while pointing out, however,
that between 1879 and 1896, when the
Tories left office, our exports of agri-
cultural products steadily increased;
and that before long the very men who
had boasted of their ability to establish
an all -consuming home market wheeled
about and bragged that the N. P. was
actually the cause of the augmented
exports. The same clumsy change of
front was performed by the high pro-
teetionists in the United States. When
the Morrill tariff was introduced forty
odd years ago, its advocates assured the
farmers that it would give them as well
as the manufacturers a profitable home
market and thus save them from having
to sell their produce in Liverpool, where
the world's competition centres. But
as the export of American farm products
grew apace instead of diminishing, the
high tariff men began to contend that
their nostrum was the cause of the in.
crease which it was designed to prevent,
and by this time, no doubt, many of
them. honestly believe that monstrous
action.
Mr. Griffin figures that in time our
North-West will produce four thou-
sand million bushels of wheat which,
as ha adds, is about eighteen times as
ranch as Britain now imports; and he
agravely tells us that the only way of
disposing of this vast crop, or of the
rplus remaining after we have seeded
a
nee of population. There should be
ample room for at least 10,000,000 people
u this Province.—The Weekly San.

The uniou of the General end the Free-
will Baptists of the Maritime Provinces
having been accepted by the larger body,
there is iittle doubt of its consummation
at an early date. The census gives the
total membership of the Baptist bodies

less than the Presbyterians and 45,000
'more than the Methodists. Of them
the Free Baptists number about 30,000.
