There, is no wonder that the Ontario Government have taken a warm interest in that part of. their T-vineyard, as it has proved a yeritable gold mine for them. Whenever" the funds were running low it was easy to -hdilpose of a large timber limit and thus ` rofurnish the depleted treasury. M Lime ink: /1,59} A 12 Page 72 Column Newspaper. 3!

The return "A of better tinms` has in many cases. benn attended with n-crreponding rise in wages; yet, din- satisfaction still exists in many quai- ters. Taking it all round there I! name donbc that much more harm than good is wrought by thenverage trike.- ` Hour; Ole"-we latest llsncial circular. has the following remarks on the indus- trial outlook : A ` ' ` ' It is useless to `deny that the threat.sn- . `ing attitude of labor is viewed with con- siderable concsrn_ by both industrial and railroad managers. Wages in the lower grades of labor." where business has been exceptionally good. have in many instances been voluntarily advanced; and the new industrial combinations have often been en- abled to show exceptional liberality to their employees in the matter of wages. It .is not forgotten, however, that these advances havebeen granted because "of phenomenal conditions; conditions which cannot be ex- pected to continue very much longer, and when they ceasewages must decline. The cost of manufacturing has already been so heavily enhanced in other directions that any reduction in the cost of nished products, which must surely come as soon as the pres- sure of demand abates, will compel the manu- facturer to resist any further rise in wages and may in fact oblige him to nd means -of lessening the labor cost. It is quite pos- sible for the demands of labor to be pushed so far as to injure its own interests. Most American manufacturers are rapidly in- creasing their product for foreign markets, and about 25 per cent. of our exports -now consist of manufactured products. Let the cost of these be'carried any higher, and we shall immediately be shut out of many foreign -markets; -the foothold we have gained will be lost, and surplus products now exported will be thrown upon the home market, forcing either shut-downs or reductions, instead of advances in prices and higher wages. `Labor is already shar- ing freely in the general prosperty; the present large gains of capital are only tem- porary, andswill barely compensate to the extent of making a respectable average prot for the last rive years. It is a com- aratively small period since many manu- acturing cancerns were either on the edge of bankruptcy or else only earning beggarly -dividends; and before many months they will be obliged to meet new competition and reduced earnings. The true friend of labor will certainly advise moderation. Labor has been generously and fairly dealt with by-the great corporations lately ; and it will simply cause injury to -itself by enforcing terms that restrict production and check enterprise. If the labor unions would only select men of character and ability as leaders instead of professional agitators or would-be-politicians, their cause would be better served and their progress .mere sure. When the spirit of fair play prevails equally between employer and employs, we shall have few `labor disputes. ` EDITORIALA Noms. There will. be some disappointment felt that the council at its recent meet ing did not see t to make. a `small! appropriation to tho Hull-Ottawa re fund. ` There were fty-one speeches deliver- ed in the Houseof Commons during the recent budget debate, twentysix by Liberals and twenty-ve by Conserve tives. Probably all this feast of reason and ow of soul could have been boiled down to s couple of good half-hour" speeches on each side of the House. ` A Filinl duty and obligation appears to be on the increase.` This week we hove is family at Collingwood anxious to have their father convicted of inur- der, and poor old John MoCaskill dying like a rat in a hole, at the county gaol, utterly neglected end ignored by his wife and children.- The good old way of? killing off the aged as soon as they become helpless was much preferable to these new-fengled devices of modern civilization. It `is not an infrequent thing tor cases of smallpox to occur from time to time at the various seaports of our land, where people come and go from and.to all parts of the world. About six or seven years ago there was an` outbreak at Victoria. But it is more serious to contemplate that now the dreaded scourge has obtained a foot- hold inland, several deaths having oo- ourred at Winnipeg and `one at Arn- prior, "Ont. ` It is to be hoped that the healthjinspeotors all over will be alert and prompt to take thorough preoau tions to meet the disease wherever it may next appear. Should it gain. a foothold. among certain of the foreign element, such as the Galioians, `whose sanitary oonditioria are had, `much harm `would be sureto result. l ' Ont., asked Inspector Thou. Pearce to report on the reading of -the Public school pupils of the town. ` In the course of his report @119 Inspector says: "It is my opinion, and I be- lieve the opinion _of meat teachers of experience, that if pupils cannot read 'Vith4Ioln6 expregeionp and; with 1 clear `nnd distinct, articulation nctheg out or the?

A mili tary crank may obtain undue ascend- ancy ponythe board, and he must have all the pupils regularly marched. and conntarmarched, as . though skill in military matters were the sole end of man. Or it maybe music is the word; and then from hundreds of poor-Ithroats, never intended by their Maker for mu-" sicisns, rises up a discordant wail like that which emanates from a spring doll, also under pressure. And too often teachers, knowing the hobby of the powers that be, devote undue time to ` `any special subject that will please the inspector. or the chairman. Reading and writing are two subjects that seem to have grown musty with ago. i- Noth- ing so common takes to-day. Since the "introduction of the abominable vertical system it may almost be said that there L isnow no such thing as writing in our l schools.
