THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

England can get timber (a necessary of national existence) in
sufficient quantity no where but in Canada; and I expect to
see the Minister impeached who introduced Free Trade, if Free
Trade loses that noble colony to England.
This, however, will not bring back our supply of timber • and
it is monstrous for statesmen not to be able to show where
are to get their timber elsewhere than in Canada, before taking
the steps they have. Where will they look, if Canada, even as
a colon!, , at once raises the duty for cutting timber on the pub-
lic lands from one dollar per load to five dollars? That they
will do so, or put on an exlibrt duty, is very likely, for the im-
port trade has so decreased that the customs will not be suffi-
cient to meet the Province's expenses, unless the debt is repu-
diated.

This step would satisfy the Home Ministers, which nothing
else seems capable of doing, that the timber trade is only an
English interest, not a Canadian interest. to any great extent.

The Montreal and Quebec export merchants, who have little
more community of feeling or interest with Canada than if
they resided in London, loudly proclaim the timber trade not
only to be a Canadian interest, but the great Canadian interest.
Those who compose the body politic, however (the farmers),
take a very different view of it. They say that the timber
trade benefits them, or Canada, just to the extent that flour,
pork, butter, and any, other Canadian production is consumed

Firstly—The timber trade is not the natural one for the Cana-
dian settler (which is the growth of wheat), but one which was
created, and can alone be sustained, by Act of the imperial
Parliament. The Canadian lumberer is an owner of land, and
adopts lumber merely for more than agricultural wages. They
cannot, or will not, therefore, compete with the serfs in the

Believing, as t do. that Free Trade will be persevered in by
English statesmen for shame's cause, just as the Americans
(in the true spirit of the Democracy which England has practi-
cally adopted) persisted long in their Banking theories, though
these showed themselves wrong by upsetting every interest, to
support which was their whole object and end; and believing,
therefore, that, in the- meantime, Canada will be lost to the
Empire, I feel as if the discussion of the details of ameliora-
tion required internally in Canada were very useless now.
I beg, however, to mention tao things, which I have long
urged as wanting to the practical good government of Canada.
First—l think that Canada has been misgoverned, partly
through the ignorance and partly through the want of hands
in the Colonial Office ; and, as a remedy, I propose that each
important Colony should get a separate room in Downing-
street, and should have for the. future two Private• Secretaries,
one of whom should be in the Province and in London alter.
nately. Each colony would thus have au intelligent machinery
in London with which colonists could co-operate for their re-
spective interests.

(AN THE ATTAINMENT OF HEALTH, AND

the revolutions medicine has undergone as
~cspite the theories which have alternately reigned de-
spotic in her schools, and tne controversies which have divided
her most distinguished ornaments, her ultimate aim has ever
been the alleviation of human suffering; for should either the
enthusiasm of her followers or the warmth of their discussions
surprise us when we consider the priceless object—health; the
attainment and preservation of which are so ardently sought
by all that a single exception would be a paradox in the history
of society. But the aid of the physician is too frequently soli-
cited to restore lost health, instead of enforcing the study of
Nature's easy lesson to preserve it :;- 4, the Goddess de-

mands but simple offerings, and that the possession of her
boon requires. us but to refrain from excesses against her laws
has been thus elegantly illustrated by the philosophic
Thomas Brown—" Between satiety on the one hand and want
on the other, the stream of health flows tranquilly along,
which, but for these boundaries, would spot lily waste itself and
disappear, as the most magnificent river, which, if .'ispersed
over a boundless pain, would flow almost into within—, owes
its abundance and majestic beauty to the very banks' whtch
seem to confine its waters within too narrow a channel." This
beautiful truism embodies the creed of the ablest physicians—
that simplicity and moderation with regard to diet, and a faith-
ful discharge of the functions of the digestive organs, will. be
the best guarantee for the maintenance of health, as it is by
