',Naps Tuisms helpyogitown and thereby helps yeurself,. Trade at home. DO what youcan to keep A clean, and, make it bee,uti-• ful, Speak well ofc A.In any one of these texts, there is room for a sermon. In social economy relle of the hardest truths, to real- ize is, that the pod of the public is the good of the individual, and that the, profit obtained at the ex- pense of the public is a loss rath- er than gain. In the long run, the fancied. profit in buying of transi- ent pedlers, sending away for goods, or going out of town to buy is not even a real profit to your- self directly, and iSa positive loss to, the conmninitys. Cast thy bread upon the waters and. A Shall return, is as true ie the channels of trade as elsewhere, bUt it is. 7.tt, just as well not to fling the crumbs too far, if you expect a speedy return. That beauty and 'cleanliness are factors in the pro- duction of dollars is another hard trn th for the average understandi- ing, and yet we would guarantee that any man who will put out twenty shade trees this spring on hls town lot at a cost, say 50. cents per tree, and take ordinary' earo of the same for five or six years that he would not sell them then for ten times thecost, that. is,,the lot would be worth just that much more. Grassy turf which will come by just scatter- ing the blue grass seed over the :unbroken. prairie, shrubs, flowers, all add to the common valuation. Well kept streets, clean alleys mid good sidewalks are a wealth in themselves far beyond. their coss. Lastly speak well of your town; a word fitly spoken is worth dollars; a word of encour- ageMent to your neighbor, trades- man or business man goes far to 'kelp hina. hold on. Is is not a tact that a half dozen persons can makcs ainan sick by remarking on his V.s± appearance when the man is actually in good. health7 And if them= is a little sick, does the doctor Order his friends to tell him he is.on the brink of the grave I Panics and hard times are not based on actual facts but are only the result of distrustin the fancy of capitalists. Money has not decreased in volume but its natural channels aro dammed Distrust and diseourage-- moots in your town will surely kill it if it can be killed.

THE or ACT is note, high license measure, Apparently a portion of the temperance people in several of the counties which have Adopted it are under the misapprehension that it is. Our exchanges constantly report vio- laters being fined a third and fourth time. According to the clauses of the Canada Temperance Act a third offence must be pun- ished by two mouths impel with- out the option of a fine: .As Can- on Wilberforce most accurately said "such an. 'industry' can pay any license," It has been proved that wherever Pro- hibition is thoroughly enforced its success has been brought about by the imprisonment of those who offend. The enemies of the Scott Act will resort to any and every means for bringing it into contempt, and unless, the penalty of itnprisonment be im- posed it is despised. Let this be practically remembered and the charge that the Scott Act is a failure will soon be abandoned:, TrnsTlwTn of the Pall Mall Gar, as t the t ' • . e ra G e - mole; children , fon the vilest '9f purposes,: though strenuously de- nied by the exponents of British upper class sentiment at the time, has since been abundantly estab- lished.

The 'patrons of theparticular es- tablishment broken up are said to be, so far as known, of humble rank. Coia...,equently their is some probability that they may get their deserts, It is a. :fatal mistake on the part of an Eng- lish law -breaker of. any to beof hunable rank. , TnE Paxxo among the Ohioago wheat gamblers, and the conse- quent flurry in other business centres, is not likely to have 11111011 effect upon legitimate com- merce. It was purely the result of heavy speculative operations, and the loosers in the garne are -entitled• to no moresympathy than men who drop their money at faro or poker. This kind of respectable gambling is causing widespread demoralization, and there ought tobe some legal means of. suppressing: it. Specu- lation in the necessaries of life is one of the meanest forms of. rob- bing the poor--for.the loSS ,OVellt- ually falls on the consumer.

Theresolution adopted At the last meeting is as clear as its predecessor was tnrbid. It distinctly declares that the freest commercial intercourse between Canada and the Urti.ed States is desirable, it even pledges the 13oard•to do all in its ;power to 'bring. such a state of things to pats, provided always that Great Britain be not placed at a disad- vantage when comparedwith the United States,and that nothing should be done "which would tend in any measure, "however small, to weaken the bonds which "unite us to the Empire" The .increased iron duties. are a serious blow to Britishlotelests, but we hare not heard a single protest against them on that score. The simple truth is that the protectionists havo too thoroughly taught Canadians to look at their own side of the questions to allow of their dis- crimination cry gaining much strength.
