" One great cause of the poverty of the t
English working classes is the vast amount ' •
spent upon drink,' an amount estimated atone
hundred and fifty-sterling-aterlin 'a year.
;" What is' the remedy for Great Britains
present state of industrial disquiet and misery?"
The remedies for the existing evils are:
many, the: most important' being, improved'
edu.'cation, . especially ..technical education,.
greater thrift: and sobriety and the exercise of
greater -ingenuity in• the trades as.well-asmore
zeal and earnestness in the work'?"
What are the trade. prospects generally
iu England'!" .
'S If the present prises• of food are maintain-
ed and the great questions turning free -trade
in land are settled satisfactorily, an'iinprove
meut may be expected in•England'at no •dis-
tant -day. Of course there has be5E
trading; and and all olaases'have been extravagant
in their expenditures, but ' both these will
bring abont.tbeir own Cure. There is distinct
revival of trade.' in the'United States and also
in Canada, arid I anticipate a,similar change

in fold for food to America may cause tent-
porary embarrassment, We now take from
America eighty millions :sterling worth of
products per year,. they only 'return in 00111810s

ports from the United •States"
"'Do you consider that •in every rsspeot,•

•' Canada has certainly overy'commercial
advantage from. England,. but unfortunately
for her she does not -reciprocate,' and I be -
Reim the recent protective policy will turn out -

"England is -not 11ltely to give special trade
facilities to her colonies, and. she -will not
make preferential duties in tbgir favor.
" What is your idea.concerningMr. Bright's
proposal to sub-dividb the present land -hold-
ings ?":
"Mr., Bright never had 'sucl%, an idea. It
was a fabricatiou,invented by the Timee;. He
never for an instant proposed to divide• the
lands of England. What he did propose, and
