some of the papers imagine that the
'Local Opposition might win in the
next election if they bad a change of
leaders, hence the suggestion of Clarke
Wallace's name. But there are people
skeptical enough to think that some-
thing more than a change of leaders is
needed.
According to the year book our im-
ports for home consumption in 1873 to
1877 inclusive were: From Great Bri
tain, 48.13 per cent.; from the 'United
States, 44.24 per cent. In 1895, after
seventeen years of N. P., the figures
were: From Great Britian, 27.57 per
cent.; from the States, 51.91 per cent.
The 1896 returns, show that our im-
ports for home consumption last years
were: From the States, $58,574,084;
from Great Britian, $32,979;742. The
N.P as a discourager of trade with the
States and a builder up of trade with
Great Britain does not seem to have
fulfilled the promise of its promoters.
The London Free Press, speaking of
the theory that poverty is a disease
like measles or smallpox, says: "The
remedy will be found in the enlight
enment of the pauper population.
First, their will and self-respect must
be cultivated. Then they must ice
taught that they themselves can cure
the disease of poverty. Nobody else
can get well of smallpox or a cold for
any patient. He must tussle with it
himself and overcome. Just so with
poverty, so far as men of good physi-
cal and mental health are concerned,
and if men are not physically and men-
tally well it is largely their own fault."
That is not an unreasonable proposi-
tion. We suggestft be urged upon
those Canadian spineless mendicants
who go whining to Parliament for
laws t� enable them to get rich by
taxing their fellows instead of hustling
themselves. Coming from the Free
Press it might have a good effect.

The License Question
ONTARIO LIQUOR LAW TO BE AMENDED
Provincial Treasurer Harcourt in -
traduced the new measure for the Net-
ter management of the liquor traffic.
Mr Harcourt briefly explained the pro-
visions of the measure, which, he said,
were called for by a well-settled public
opinion. It was only in deference to a
well-defined public (.pinion that any
legislations could be passed in the
House, and that remark applied par-
ticularly to legislation of the kind un-
der consideration. Under the act of
1876 the unit of population in cities,
towns turd villages for grani;ing a li-
cense was 250; that is not disturbed.
Under the old law for the first thou-
sand of a population four licenses
might h.. granted. It is now pr'oposed
that. for the first thousand of a popula•
tion three licenses shall he granted.
Under the old system for the next 400
of population an additional license
might begranted. The newproposi-

The municipal councils will, have the
power under the bill to still further re-
duce the number nf;licenses. There is,
however, this limitation, that when a
council passes a by-law reducing the
number of licensed places that bylaw
must remain force three years. This
is not a new principle, as it is found in
the local option law. This feature of
the bill touches cities, towns and vil-
lages. There are 268 of these munici-
palities in this Province, and it will be
found that a small percentage of this
268 will be affected by the reduced lien.
it. In making this provision the Gov-
ernment is following the Duncan Act
of 1864, and the Canada Temperance
Act.
Hard Work Can't Hill.
Don't get the notion that hard work
kills. It doesn't : it can't. Work may
tire, but that is all. Then you must
rest. What good, hard work does is
to make solid men.. The healthiest
men in the world are the men who
work hardest. It gives them appetite
for their meals and brings refreshing
sleep. Work all you like and can, only
don't worry and don't keep late hours.
It is in the latter two points that dan-
ger lies, not in work. -EDWARD W.
BOK, in March Ladies' Home Journal.

At the meeting of the Dominion Grange
Grand Lodge, in Toronto, Prof. Goldwin
Smith was invited to speak. He said there
is one thing in whioh England had the ad.
vantage over Canada, and that was in the
matter of good roads. He does not believe
in loading down Governments indisorim-
inately with all kinde of extra duties and
work, this question of good roads is one in
whioh the Government might be reason-
ably expected to do something for the fem.
er.
Speaking of the tendency of young peo-
ple to leave the farm tor the pity he said
that thea introdution of machinery was
throwing labour on the market, them anu-
facturies aro centralizing in the' cities, the
growing love oflife and excitement attract
people to great centres, departmental stores
with the accompanying cheapness and
easy railway facilities all assist in the move-
ment. It is not a healthy movement. it is
like a rush of blood to the head decidedly
harmful and ifpeople pe pe kne w t,/jIat was in
their own intereets t hey wouldn't do it. Nei-
ther the moral nor physical air is as good in
a big city as in a email town or village, nor
is social life as enjoyable. If people would
only recognize these facts. But the econ-
omic forceeat work are too great to resist
and it is useless struggling against it.
LIFE IN THE COUNTRY
Does higher education tend to unduly
draw the young people from the farm to
the pity, to leave the life of their fathers to
enter the professions? It is worse than
useless to lift a young man or woman out
of their own sphere into one which they wore
unfitted to fill. But might not more be done
in the way of technical training for the farm,
so that farming might be more scientific?
The best land in Ontario'is doubtless all tak-
en up, but the capabilities of the soil are not
exhausted, in England high cultivation still
brought big results, and so it might be here,
Country life might be made more attract-
ive and pleasant by the cultivation of the
social side thereof. The farmer li res too
hard a life with too little enjoyment. tie
and his family should go about more and
get more amusement, especially in winter.
"The Government has no right to spend
the people's money in providing a fanoy
eduoation. To oftenthe result is to make
the scholar unhappy and dissatisfied, A
man is happiest in the sphere which he is
best fitted to occupy. I have great respect
for the institutions of higher learning, but
I believein thelold scholarship syetem,which
gave the opportunities to the young men
and woman who were best qualified to
to reap benefit from them.
FREE TRADE FOREVER.
Replying to a number of questions in-
formally put to him by grangers, Prof.
Smith said teat the cost of government and
the number of legislators could be greatly
reduued. The prospect of serious competi-
tion in England from eastern cheap labor
was not considered probable in the near
future. The commerdial supremacy which
England had so long held was largely a
matter of accident arising from her advan-
tages of situation during the Napoleonic
wars. Other nations were now gaining
gradually on her, but there was no cause
for alarm. The "made in Germany" scarce
need not disquiet anyone at present.
" I believe in free trade under any and
all oiroureetances. Under protection the
strongest gets the most, and the weakest,
who needs aid the most, gets the least. If
protection between countries is good, why
not between provinces and states ? The
United States has prospered because it is
the greatest free trade country in the world.
Would it have prospered if it had built a
protective wall around each state ? Free
Free trade would be good for us, even iflthe
States continues protection; in fact if Can-
ada went free trade the States would have,
to adopt the same policy; they couldn't
maintain a protective tariff. It is a mis-
take to suppose prosperity could be secured
by legislation inetead of by thrift and in-
dustty."
A POINT TO REMEMBER.
If you wish to purifiy your blood yon
should take a medicine which cures blood
diseases. The record of cares by Hood's
Saasaparila proves that this is the best
medicine for the blood ever produced.
Hood's Sarsaparilla cures the most stub-
born oases and it is the medicine for you
to take if your blood is impure.
HOOD'S PILLS are the best after-din-
ner pill; assist digestion, cure headache.

Liquor Licenses. •
The annual report of the Provincial
Treasurer of Ontario on the working
of the Tavern and Shop Licenses Acts
for 1896 shows a material reduction in
the number of licenses in force in the
last few years, and also a decrease in
the amount of fines collected. The
number of .ersonscommitted for this
offense in 11! i shows a decrease of 3,30,
when compared with 1895. The aver-
age yearly commitments for each per-
iod of five years from 1876 to 1895, in-
clusive, are rs follows :
From 1876 to 1880, inclusive 3,812
From 1881 to 1885, inclusive 4,016
From 1886 to 1890, inclusive 4 311
From 1891 to 1895, inclusive 2 703
In the twenty years, or since the
present licensing system was put in
force, there have been many marked
changed.
The number of places licensed to sell
liquor in the undermentioned counties
of Western Ontario was as follows :
1874. 1895.

A singular story has been reported by
the physicians of McPherson county, Kan-
sas. Living in the north-east part of Reno
country is a German farmer, Abraham
Kroeger. He sold his wheat some time ago
to the Buhler mill, and it became necessary
to have it delivered, even though theroads
were heavy and muddy. In taking the
wheat to mill, Kroeger was in the habit of
eating wheat. He was continually picking
up a moutbfal. He was taken sick a few
days ago, and his ailment baffled the doc-
tors. Kroeger grew worse. The doctors,
being unable to diagnose the case, and fear-
ing death if no relief was given, an opera-
tion was determined upon. Tuesday it
was performed, and over a quart of sprout-
ed wheat was taken from the stomach of
the old German. Some of the sprouts
were two inches long. Kroeger is in a bad
shape, and itis doubtful if he will recover
froth the operation.
The New York Times says: "Several im-
portant Canadian firms have given notice
that if the exclusion of Canadians from
employment in this country be enforced by
law, they will .instantly 'discharge all
Americans in their employ. This is per-
fectly natural, and our people can have no
reason to complain. but it would be an
economic mistake nevertheless. Ameri-
cans are now employed no doubt because
they are needed, and their labor is profit-
able. In other words, for precisely the
same reason that Canadians are employed
on this side of the border. There is no
benevolence nor international good feeling
involved, but interest only. If we injure
our interests by .excluding Canadians, they
will injure theirs by retaliation. The
theory of our proposed law is fallacious ab-
solutely. It is that there is a fixed quan-
tity of work which Americans will get if
Canadians are shut out. It may help oar
narrow-minded legislators to see the thing
in its true light, however, if our people are
forbidden to work in Canada.
