Wages and the Costa} Labor. ___.__ The wages. of labor and the relative cost of labor are two very different things. Congressman Redficld of New York, himself a manufacturer, proved very conclusively in a recent speech that low-priced labor is not always cheap labor, and that an apparently low wage may be a very high one. “I saw them,” he says “driving piles in Japanâ€"â€" twenty women, each with a. rope, lifted the pile. They were paid twenty cents a day in our money. Yet it would cost four times as much to drive those piles as it would have cost in New York.” The cheap labor bogey does not stand investigation. Mr. Redfield is a special- ist in machinery. He found by careful personal inquiry that while wages in Japanese locomotive plants were only one-fifth of the American scale, the lab- or cost of locomotives on the same speci- fications was three and a half times greater in Japanese shop than in the American shop.â€"-Globe. In Congressman Redfield's remarks, as here referred to, there is no justification for the assertion that “the cheap labor bogey does not stand investigation.” The cause of the alleged high cost of production is in the primitive methods Is ready for your inspection. All the best 2 styles at A in any incurable inefficiency of their workmen. The point is that the Jap- anese cost of living is low, and will continue to be low when their producing power is raised to the level of that of the American by the adoption of modern methods. Mr. Redfield has to demon- strate, first, that Japanese efficiency ,cannot be increased to that extent; asecond, that if it could be increased “' living must rise pro- moderafe prices. } WM.

Noxious Weeds. “I The» example of the authorities of the township of Thorold is worth drawing the attention of other municipalities to. The township council has fined a number of farmers for neglecting to destroy I‘ weeds on their farms. The law demand- .ing the destruction of weeds is plain ‘ enough and strict enough, but there is a widespread indisposition to enforce it The loss occasioned by weeds is not realized as fully as it should be ; other~ wise there would be less indifference displayed in regard to getting rid of them. gowwmmemwmmmzmwwwwmmmg - ,' Baits, and other good makes, Lines, Hooks, Etc.

He is supposed to be of much more real use I to the world than the Theoretical Man. § We speak of the man who “ does things ” or “gets things done” with a certain § smack and relish as though be, after all, were the fellow worth while. Now, the truth is that your practical man is usually a second rate man. Prac- tical implies that he can do things that he has practised. But when we want a thing done that nobody has practised, § when we get to one of the real hard knots of life, your practical man is help- 3 less. Then we discover that the great man is the Dreamer with the head full of theories. I, The practical man can run a locomo- tiveybut he cannot invent one ; he can . manage a telephone system, but he can- and other Mfg .~ 69 VEARSL not pick the telephone idea out of EXPERIENCE- Nothing and make it Something. The - ~ practical brother gets the plums and ,4 the dreamer usually gets the sack. He twho founded Christianity had nowhere ' to lay Ilis head, full of ideas; he who manages a large Christian institution as bishop gets a palace and a seat in the House of Lords. The inventor of the sleeping car got swindled, the practical '. businessmanwlio runs. the sleeping car . company gets a large, juicy income. Ycur commonrsense physician can treat ordinary cases. but when the plague breaks out you send for your tmvsle- headed, absent-minded old professor; and the worse and the stranger the plague the. more absent-minded and towsle-headed the professor. The men who are doing the best part of the ,‘ fxv0i'ld's work-are the Theorists, in their studies excogitatiag philosophies, or.- under the summentrees dreaming of the coming days-.of gold and singing of their dreams.

Thompson, boiler inspector, tested the boilers of local boats on Wed- nesday, and found everything 0 K. The Wawinette, Mackenzie’s yacht, which was here that morning, was also in- spected. The steamer Manita did not arrive from Lindsay on Tuesday, being in dry dock at Bobcaygeon undergoing repairs..- The steamer Monarch is making the, Manita’s trips. The Manita was leaking more than she should, and on Saturday lost her propellor near Sturgeon Point. The damage to the boat is attributed to frequent bumping on the sunken logs in the Scugog river. It is time these logs and other impediments to safe naviga- tion, both in the Scugog and elsewhere, were removed. On Tuesday afternoon the Wacouta went into dry dock in the canal and had four or five pounds of boom wire taken off the propeller shaft. It is thought the wire had been some days accumu- lating. On Tuesday so much had gathered that the boat’s speed was con- siderably reduced, and she was late getting in from Lindsay. The following regarding the steamer Otonabee is from the Orillia Packet :â€" A rumor having been set afloat that the Otonabee is an old boat painted over, Mr. R, Pinchin, Manager of the Peter- borough and Lake Simcoe Navigation 00., asks the Packet to say that her British register, which can be seen on the boat, shows her to have been built in 1907. She is therefore new, sound and up to date in every particular. A boat called Otonabee formerly plied on Rice Lake, and carried the Prince of: Wales from I-Iarwood to Hiawatha on the occasion of his visit years ago. But the bones ‘of this Otonabee now lie bleaching on the shores of Rice Lake. The modern Otonabee returned to Lake Simcoe this week. She took two excur- sions out of Barrie on Tuesday, one of 300. and a moonlight of 400, and ran from Orillia to Barrie for the Orangemen's celebration on the 12th. __.___._._â€"â€"-â€"-â€"- Personal.
