H rot `Forestry Report. r -We received some time ago the Forestry lieport for 1886, and like all the reports of Mr. Phipps, it is well written 'andcon- tains a large amount of interesting -facts and suggestionsupon forestry and cognate subjects. The report treats ofthe follow- ing subjects : Supply of wood for fuel in Ontario ; Forestry- examination of two townships, namely, Markham and St. Vincent; The Lumber Regions; Forest Management in India; U. S. Forestry; Washing awayiof the Land for Want of ' Forestry ; Forest Cultivation .-for Prot ; Russian Forestry Experience ; The West- ern Plains; Railroads in Connection with Forestry; Supply of -White Pine; The Nor- way Spruce ; Planting in School Grounds; Tree Planting on Arbour Day ; The Pro- cess by which woods preserve moisture in adjacent cleared land ; Forest Reserva- tions ; Management of trees in cities ; How settled Ontario is specially affected by over-clearing; Waste of Young Ever- Lreexis; The Plantations Advisable on Hntario Farms; Osier Willow Culture; Preservation of Birds; Evergreen Hedges; Importance of a `supply of wood ; Sugges- tinns on Encouragement to Tree Planting; Consumption of wood for Railroad Con- struction ; Cultivation of Trees on the Farm ; A Plantation at `Norwood, County _ of Pete:-borough; Work of the Year and Wvgggestions. It will be seen that the re- ' port has a wide range, but the facts and siiggestions are of the greatest interest and of vast importance in connection with. llle future of this country. .1 III I I`! 1 `ll It, would be a. great benet to Canada if these reports could be placed in the hands of every farmer and be generally circu- lated.

It is causing droughts in summer, destroy- ing the fertility of the land, preparing the conditions "on which the deadly cyclone depends, drying up our streams and mak- ing them channels for destructive. oods.

However interesting the frag- ments which are here collected, they tell .us of little we did not know before, [The sum and substance of it all is that in various letters which are forced from Darwin he declared himself an agnostic; if we may use a pleonasm, we should say a passive agnostic, because, as Mr. F. Darwin points out his 'father s passive attitude had nothing in common with those self-styled agnostics who adopt whatwe may call a positive negation as their creed, Darwin himself shrank from speaking on the subject, thinking _ri'ghtlyy that a man s religion was no one's business but his own.

The peculiarity of party controversies in Canada appears to be that whenever newspapers or public men oppose the Gov- ernment they consider it necessary, to make their opposition effective, _to lie about the country. Thus-the Mail. which supported every measure of public expen- - diture that has gone to -make up the pub- a lie debt of the Dominion, labors uncens- ` ingly toprove that wears sunk. in almost irretrievable ruin because" of that debt. And although it supported most warmly the policy of expenditure, it now tells the world that that expenditure is `blocking 7 the path of progress. `For instance, on ` Monday it formulated its new-found opin- ions--performing the feat of swallowing itself`-with some dexterity--under seven heads. We take one as an illustration of the rest. We are told that the taxation ' in the United States is now` lighter by fty per cent. than in Canada. Let us see how ithis is. .We may take taxation to mean; so far as the general Governments in both countries are concerned, the amount collected from Customs and Ex- cise duties. V In the United States for the last year these amounted to $617 per ' capita ; in Canada they amounted to $5 57. But when we come to taxation another fact has to bepconsidered. Out of the Cus- toms and Excise revenues in Canada, up- wards of fourmillions of dollars are given to the provinces to be; expended by them in carrying on their respective Govern- ments. -In the United-States, the States have to raise their local revenues from a direct-tax on..the real- and personal pro- perty of the people. In; the S_tate of, N ew York, -which may be taken as: asample, no less` than $9,512,813 were -levied in this way last year for State purposes, ,over and above the taxes levied -by the.municip_ali- ties for 'their_`purp`,oses;.j j `That fwas equal _ to $1: 87 per ca.pita ;' so .that mi all fairness in any__;compa_ri_son of taxation: for eneral i I purposes thismust be; added in the. nited I} Statesvstatement; making the tax {$8.04 per cgpits. 8'zi!in?It`$5 '57` in Canada.
