The greatest asset of a nation is al-
ways ata people. Khat they are, the
nation is. If our youthful Canadians
would prove true the boast of the
poem quoted above, they will need to
study the characteristies, tbe quali-
ties, which here made the British
Ise what they are, the dominant
trate of the world.
Ifs esmort ant sag the qualities
which make the true Briton 1.
integrity. without which no nation
can be serest. Some months ago
a reporter deeeribed for us his
visit to the great wool market held
annually in the Highlands of Scotland.
At this market were present tbe Scot-
tish producers. and the buyers from
the great factories of tbe Lowlands and
of Ragland. Bargains necessitating
the exchange of large sums of money
were concluded, yet no wool was there
Mr inspection, and no notes or papers
of any tart were exchanged. Buyers
and producers alike trusted absolutely
to the bonor of those with whom they
dealt and for many years there has
been not even .n accusation of under-
hand dealing, or of repudiation of an
agreement. Such Iotagltftyy lo.surely
an asset to be coveted by any nation.
Asa part of the great Empire, Canada
will surely train her sons to sustain,
in their dealings, the high reputation
won by their compatriots in the
motherland.
Another marked trait of the British
character is tbe love of fair play. On
the school ground, in sport. an busi-
ness, in pleasure. in times of danger,
in unexpected cries, the *hilit,' to
give and to enf.w a fair play has been
naturally au outcome of the funda-
mental inleserity of the typical Briton.
So ingrained In the race is apprecia-
tloo of this quality that an appeal to
any schoolboy for fair play is met with
quick response.
Along with his sense or justice we
th
must place e Briton's ir•r'•• verance,
a perseverance that is an1t net dogged-
n esss at times. "Britons do not know
when they are beaten," their enemies
sa
have said. and this refusal to accept
defeat, with the ability to continuesea
the struggle against great odds, has
turned
turned many a defeat intovictory at
last_
Other qualities whic might be
dwelt upon are the ens gy and the
activity of mind ane of body which
keep the British iu the van in the
forward march of nation : the ability
to enjoy luxury. or to fare hardly, m
which has 'node so m ny of the
n
British race leaders in explorations

m

cultured .red r•efo society. The
Brltieb, too. though m ntaieing an
aristocracy of birth and reeding. are
yet the most democratic ple in the
world : oro one is more r y than the
real aristocrat, from c e sovereign
down. to grant the high t honors to
true worth .ad service, ven though
the worker may have m e hi. way
W from the maks.u
There are two factor' which have
helped 'mightily in eat fend eriog the
qualities of real manit and worth
in the British people : national
love of home. and the t ning of the
great public *chock's. From the
soveteitn to the petulant the love of

WHY LIVING IS 30 EXPENSIVE.
A writer in Toronto Saturday Night
estimates that Andrew Oarnegis's
yearly income is $26,000,000. 11 e
Government ot (Janda is hesitating
about undertaking the 000struotlon of
the Georgian Bay Canal, owing to
its enormous cost -a matter, let us
say, of $160,000,000. Andy could build
that canal and pay for 1t all himself,
out of the interest of his fortune, in
six years."
Where do these millions, and the
enormous incomes of all the other mil-
lionaires and multi -millionaires, come
from ? They come from the labor of
the people, by means of special privi-
leges, franchises, laud monopoly, pro-
tective tariffs, etc. A mau may never
know it, but of every dollar he spends
out of his wages, or nut o! the sale of
his farm products, or out of bis busi-
ness inconie. a proportion goes to
make up the princely fortunes of these
men who are the beneficiaries of spe-
cial privilege. And he wonders why
it Is so difficult to make ends meet !
THE QUEBEC ELECTIONS.
The Conservative -Nationalist alli-
ance in Quebec, with the whole weight
of the Federal Government at Its
back, was utterly routed by Stir Lower
Gouin at the polls last week. Liberal-
ism in Quebec is alive and aggressive.
It has given the Province good, clean
government for many year., has con-
served the finances of the Province,
has allied itself with the progressive
forces, particularly in regard to edu-
cation, road improvement and tem-
perance legislation, and is able to defy
not only its opponents in the Province
but the exhorts of Ottawa.
A general Provincial election in
S.*atchewaa it ,expected within the
next few months, and it is reported
that the Hon. "Bob" Rogers is organ-
izing a determined effort to oust the
Liberal Government there. The Ad-
ministration at Ottawa evidently real-
izes that it le in power as the result of
an accident, and that if it cannot soon
fortify its position it will not survive
the next general election. With this
in view it is lending its influence for
the overthrow of Liberalism in every
Province of the Dominion. The re-
sult of last week's elections in Quebec
is a severe check to this manoeuvre,
and if another failure is recorded in
Saskatchewan the impression will
gain ground that the Federal Govern-
ment will go under when its own time
of trial comes around.
At any rate, the Liberal victory in
Quebec bas given great encourage-
ment to Liberals throughout the Do-
minion.
CAUSES OF RURAL DEPOPULATION
The causes of rural depopulation in
Ontario are not far to seek. In ad-
dition to the exodus to the West,
there is the potent fact tbat the fiscal
policy of the country is expressly
calculated to build up the cities at the
expense of the country. When Sir
John MacDonald framed "the National
Policy" he saw the one-sided effect of
a protective tariff which would give
no protection to farmers, and so with
protection he coupled reciprocity, it.
being a palt of his policy to secure
larger markets for the farmers. What
has happened P The Rest part of the
policy has been carried out. giving
protection to the manufacturers. The
second part -larger markets for the
farmers --has not been brought into
effect. in the lint instance because the,
United States for many year* would
not consent to enter into a reciprocal
trade agreement, and Really, when
the opportunity was offered, a ;major-
ity of the Canadian people, including
many of the farmer. themselves. were
frightened into rejecting it.
The result is that the protective
tariff. which aims to build up the
cities. is in effect, ,chile the second
proposal of "the National Policy," in-
tended to eounterhalance the first
and make compensation to the farm-
ers for the burden of protection, is a
dead letter. The inevitable result is
that agriculture languishes, many
farms are beieg turned into pasture
(sod., and the agricultural districts of
Eastern Canada ahow an alarming loss
of population. This in its turn has re-
sulted in a falling behind in produc-
tion of foodstuffs and an increased
cost of living, which forces up the
cwt of manufacturing in the cities.

EDITORIAL NOTE'.
The Ontario Grin ought to get Sir
Loaner Oouin's recipe for "How to
Whip the Tories."
Some people survived aIle wreck of
the Titanic only to see the wreck of
their own reputations.
At Stratford a bylaw was passed at
New Year's providing for the cutting
off of nve hotel licenses. Four of the
Ave hotels affected will likely be con-
ducted tee temperance houses.
Liberals everywhere may properly
take pride in the success of the Liberal
Goveroment of Quebec, which repro -
yenta tete best elements iu that Prov-
ince and has built up a floe record of
clean, peognasive and economical ad=
ministration.
The General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church of the
United States has decided not to in-
terfere with the paragraph of the dis-
cipline which plates a ban on card -
playing, dancing and some other
amusements.
Newspaper men so seldom receive
comwendation for their efforts in ad-
vancing the interests of their commun-
ity that it L with especial pleasure and
gratification we publish elsewhere in
this issue Rey. Yoe. F,tlliott's generous
letter in appreciation of The Signal's
articles; o'i fruit -growing in Huron.
We feel .uoouraged to go ou and do
something further al^ng that line.
An anti -reciprocity contemporary
asks why, if in advocating reciprocity
between the United States and Can-
ada in 1911 Col. Roosevelt did so with
the object cf promoting good feeling
between the two countries, be is now
"denouncingTaft for having originated
the reciprocity agreement." The
answer is easy. Col. Roosevelt hoe
found out that the farmers of the
United States are opposed to the "pro-
motion of good feieliug" which 11
voles. the ope tkee of tbeir markets
the farmrMe: (. timed'', and as bat
wants the farmers' votes very badly
just now he recants, and blame. Taft
for the whole business. A very much
,store interesting question, to Cana-
dians, is this: Why ate the farmers
across the line so opposed to reciproc-
ity when (according to tbe Canadian
anti -reciprocity press) it would permit
the invasion of Canada by farm prod-
ucta from the United States? Cana-
dian farmers who voted against reci-
procity must see by this time that
they were grossly hoodwinked.
Coal Will Bel Dearer.
The coal hills will be higher next
winter than ever before, for the
simple reaaop tbet the price of coal is
to go up. The demands of the miners
for higher wages are bean$ met by the
operators, it is said, but in turn the
demands of the operators will have to
be met by the retail dealers, and then
by the consumers, which means in the
last analysis that the householder
who shovels the coal into his furnace
will bins to pay the difference be-
tween the old scale of miners' ws
and the new. Dealers in fuel act
es
an increase of about halt a dol ar per
ton in the psioe of anthracite ooal.
Don't be afraid to give compliments.
Overdelicacy in this respect is a social
handicap and a cause of touch needless
lack of popularity, with consequent
depression and timidity.
1s it wise for sensitive natures to ex -
themselves to tragical plays and
harrowing novels? They pay for lbs
experience by suffering a ghastly ner-
vous exhaustion out of all proportion
to the temporary thrill.

Mr. Elliott Finds Them of Value in His
Campaign in Great Britain.
The following letter has been receiv-
ed by The Signal from Rev. Jos
Rlliott, who is in (;sat Britain In the
interests of Canadian immigration :
Dean Ntolrat,-The marked papers
forwarded to London arrived yester-
day. Allow me to thank you for the
two excellent articles on fruit -growing
In Huron which these issues contain.
So much do we think of tress articles
we are arranging to have them as-
serted in the pages of our special litera-
ture and purpose sending them broad-
cast throughout the land. We are
convinced that fruit -growing can be
most sueeesdully carried ds within the
borders of Heron county, that this
branch has been shamefully neglected
In the pant, that almost infinitely
more might be done In this depart-
ment by intelligent, scientific methods
carefully and persistently followed,
that much money might easily he
diverted from Ragland to our county
for the development and esriebaee't
of our rural areas. if only proper at-
tention ware sow given to those
haunches of trait-growteg for which
we have been so highly favored by
