Canada of Age,
Tis fair .Dominion attained its
majority on Sunday last, having
passed the 21st year of its exis-
tanco. No ono can truthfully say
we lave not as fiae a land as the
sun ever shone upon. It is enor-
mous in extent, with diversified
soil and elitnate, capable of pro-
ducing alinost anything., and with
natural resources, the extent of
which have hardly yet begun to
be realized. And yet with all
these naturaladiaatages in 'din.
favor; Sita are not larking the ma-
terial progress which our sur-
roundings demand. It is true
that wo have tnade some manu-
facturing progress,but it has been
largely artificial and not the re
-
snit of natural growth and devel-
opment, but population bas prac-
tically been at a standstill for ten
years. This seems ail the more
singular.when it is remembered
that we have been yearly spsnal-
ing large sums upon immigration,
and by this means adding to our
population, but we have not re-
tained our waive- born population,
an clement that is of DI011k value
to a country than any imported
population. A gentleman who
recently, made an extensive tour
throughent the United States, re-
marked that in every place he vis-
ited he found Canadians, and
when spoken to about returning
to Canada, the;- laughed at the
idea. Why is it that that they
prefer American life to Canadian?
The reason is not far to seek. The
Americans are less conservative
in their ways than Canadians,
social life is more free and'easy,
young mon receive more encour-
agements -the -re than-. here; -if- Ise
has any snap about him, it is de-
veloped and encotiraged, and they
do not consider him "cheeky" or
"forward" if ho tries to push his
way to the front, as . is too often
done here.
Then again their system of gov-
ernmettris more thoroughly re.
presentative and less expensive
than ours. In proportion to the
cost of living, public men in Can-
ada receive a m,nch larger income
than they do iu the States. A
judge in the United States who
receives a salary of $5000 a year,
is. an exception, here it is the rule
with the principal judges, and
the same comparative illustration
bolds good in all, departments of
the public service. These things
have their influence 'and to our
system of government gener-
ally can be traced our loss of popu-
Dation.
The question naturally suggests
itself "Can anything bo •done to
derive the greatest benefit from
our own natural resources and
advantages'?" Yes, two things',
and two only. Make the wit of.
government bore less, and remove
'all trade harriers. By this moans
the taxes of the people become'
lighter, an opportunity is given
to develop'our natural resources,
and prosperity such as we have
never experienced wduld be our
lot.
So long as the people remain
wedded to a heavy protective 'sys-
tem and a cumbersotne and ex-
pensive form of government, just
so long will our progress be re-
tarded, and the very moment
there is a change in the right
direction, business would receive
an impetus tnat would bo as sur-
prising as it would be acceptable.
Some may bo disposed. to doubt
this; but it is nevertheless logicali-
ty true, and restlts would dCrrion.
Ftrnto its truth.
Tho Governmeut 'having bor.
rowed more money than was
wanted, at 3) per cent, have re -

financial statesmanship this is?
What would be said of any ordin-
ary business concern that could
not finance better than thia, It
certainly would tot have the eon-
fidence of the community .11,The

#.411on, Mr Drury, Minister Of
Agrieulture, bas the faculty! of
making . his meaning thoroughq
plain When he addresses au audi-
ence on his familiar topic -the tm-
portance of the farmer's °coupe,
tion in this province. The 3liais-
ter's address to the students at the
commencement exorcises of the
-
Agricultural College, Guelph, was
unusually interesting, inasmuch
as it touched on a point that is
often lost sight of by the agrieul•
tural community. He stowed
that the farmers could not etrobine
to stop either home or foreign pro-
duction, as some People in the
community are enabled by law to
do. The, only course open to On-
tario agriculturists is to adopt
every method possible fort the
cheapening of production. By
this means they coo hold thety
-own • -in the• keenrempetitiOn of
the world's mai-kola Mr Drury
admitted, 'from practical experi-
ence, that farming had not been
very profitable of late years. But
the young nien of the.country had
to du something, and engaging in
farming was, he considered, more
likely to yield a happy, contented
life, with fair competence, than
any of the professions. Young
men were often attracted by the
glamor of city life, and reports of
largo incornes earned by profes-
sional men and merchants. But
their attention bad never been di-
rected to the thousands of' .doctors
and lawyers who, failing to gain
prominence in their professions.,
eked out a bare, existence. They
had not, when heading of' fortunes
made by merchants, considered
the track strewed with ruins of
failure. Theprofession of fermi lig
was crowded, but not mor o than
others. Tho cleverest doctor or
the cleverest lawyer was the .no
that made a success in life, and s
would it be with the farmer. T
Agrieulturat,College, as an ins
tution to give farmers' sons an op-
portunity to gain knowledge and
skill in farming, was of' eminent
worth.
Mr Drury is right, and his COIl -
tentions ma well be laid to heit

tot only by the students at the
Agricultural College, but by the
large number cif young farmers
who pine for a kity life, ander the
impression that the opportunities
for pushing to tho. front in cities
are more plentiful, the remunerate
tion greater, and the worry less
than on the fartn. The Minister
might have carried his reasoning
a little further. He could truth-
fully have shown that the farmer's'
life in Canada at the present day
would be the envy of agricultur-
ists of the world, but for the arti-
ficial hindrances for which the Ot-
tawa Government is responsible.
What the farmers need to bring
them better remuneration fortheir,
labor, is the opportunity to sell in
the dearest and buy in the cheap.
est market. That they cannot do
while the present high taxes on
necessaries of lifo aro maintained
for the benefit of monopolies. •

is in danger." Well, aiu't she
old enough now to get out of it?
It is announced that the debt of
the 'United States was reduced at
the rate of $112,000,000, for' the
year ending with the 30th Juno.
The only desire of Canadian legis-
lators 'apparently- is to make the

IT is annoying enough to read
of the many calamities occur
from "didn't know it was loaded"
carelessness, but to hear of a
Methodist minister dying by his
own hand, through getting hold
of a wrong bottle of medicine, de-
stroys all faith in the common.

A DECISION Of interest to
tors was decided in Toronto last
week. A man, travelling on a
special ticket, that limited the
liability of the Railway Cemeny
to $100, brought suit to recover
$1,077 damages. The court de-
cided in favor of the railway corn-
pany, and one is surprised that a
case was even necessary to get
such a decision. Railvvays have
rights as well as individuals, and
if a man buys a tielret, that is
subject to special provisions, he
mist abide thereby.

OUR LETTER BOX
SHOULD QUIET ALL RUMORS.
To the Editor qf the New Era.
DEAR SM. -Having been repeated-
Jy questioned as to the cause of the
death ot the. late Hugh J. Whitely,
allow me to say, through your col-
umns, that his disease was, from the
begiontng, one which was necessarily 1
fatal, and that the malicious reports
so freely circulated in regard to his
wife in connection with his death, are
utterly: unttue and without founda-
tion: Having daily opportunities of
observing, I can safely that, although
his disease was of long duration, no
person could possibly have had more
devoted care and attention, and that
nothing was, at any time, left undone
which 'could in any. way contribute to
his ease or comfort Yours truly,
Joust REEVE

EXPLANATION,
• —
To the editor of the New Era. •
DEAR S114, -In answer to your
courteous correspondent from Bay-
field, I would say that if he were
present he will remember that I was
not apeaking of what became of
children at all, I was speaking of
their privileges—a very different
thing.
Whether children can' keep the
commandments of God is a somewhat
useless question. I suppose children
can love anil serve God, and if this is
not keeping the commandn3ents,
what is?
Even taking the "Ten Words," 1
presume no one doubts the possibility
of observing the lst and 2nd. If we
are to "swear not at all" and "let no
corrupt communication proceed out
of our mouth," the 8rd can be kept.
We hear a great deal about the 4th
not being kept, so it is generally be-
lieved it can be kept. Children, I
imagine, can make an honest attempt
to observe the 5th, to put awhy anger
and wrath, to love and keep the ath,
to be pure and keep tbe 7th, to be
honest and keep the 8th, to tell the
truth and keep the 903,to "be content
with such things as they have" and
keep the 10th. Anyway thio is how
our catechism explains the command-
ments. There may be some new way
of explaining how they are not to
bo kept and yet a man can call him-
aelf a good Christian -"the old is the
better," Your truly, WseCtutra,
