THE ALLOTMENT QUESTION.

The need for allotments, if not fir small holdings.
him become immeasurably strengthened, and we hope
will not be weakened by injudicious demands like
that to which Mr. Arch is said to have given his
osmots.nance. Whether or no— at. the enemy is ...w-
-ing—the measure. to which Mr. Arch has placed hie
name was originally Mr. Bradlaugh'A, we cannot con-
ceive any House of Commons in this country wising
such a law as the following :—The holding of lands
toltivable at a profit without so applying them to be •
misdemeanour, and "upon ennviction, the Con,
missionene appointed to carry out this Act may forth-
with eject the person no convicted sa to all the lands
found by the jury to be so uncultivated, and there-
upon the said lands shall thenceforth vest in the said
Commimionere. The ;lemon so convicted and ejected
shall be entitled to receive (nun the consolidated f I.
for the term of yearo fr.mt the date 1114 such rject•
inent, an annual sum equal to the average valor
of the annual actual produce of the said lands calcu-
lated over a term of 14 year prior is, the date of ouch
conviction." The land to to be let forthwith in 40
ACM holdings; to such tenants AG may be atipiinted.
This is a ntroug, not CO SAT a violent, remedy for the
wrongs of the farms en, and will enable them by cone
liination to fix what rent& they may please, or even to
abolish rents altogether, since land may be " culti-
vated At a profit.' which will not bear the burden of a
root. The proper taxation of unoccupied agricultural
land would he • better, if not the true remedy; and
it ought at once to be proposed.

AMERICAN PORK IN FRANCE.
The Parliamentary Committee of Agricultural
Interest examined on Saturday A proposal to withdraw
the decree prohibiting the importation of American
pork. The prohibitory measure WSJ taken on the
pretext that American pigs &ref infected with
trichinosis, but in reality the Government wan
actuated by I desire to gain the support of
. reactionary farmers. The pork besseders of Chicago
I end Cincinnati suffered in consequence of their exclu•
shin from the French market, and brought the
United States l:overnment to levy retaliatory duties
upon French goods, as well aa • tax of 33 isse tent. on
works of art, Irma which, however, ilb• productions
St American artists established in Preece are
exempted. A deputy, M. Jainetel, thought that a
limited sale of only the finest quality of American
pork might he allowed. Since this meat was • staple
irimilo4.l food it was necessary to '' protect " the
Pnmeh producers. No fear need be entertained about
retsliation. M. 'flirt.' timidly observed that
:tinencans might refuse to buy French wine. and

Minister of Agriculture, waa altogether against what
he called nne-sided Free Trade. France would be
duped if she readmitted the pork without making
sure of compensation.-- it wi•A finally misdeed by the
committee to request the Minister of Commerce to
maintain the prohibition.
