The English are ever endeavoring to
draw their supplies of food and such
articles rs are not supplied at home,
from their own colonies and dependen-
cies. This is an excellent policy and
one that is well calculated to build up
the colonies and dependencies. OF
course there is a reciprocity feature, for
the English expect always to sell manu-
featured goods to pay for food pur-
chases. This is the traditional policy
of England. 1t was at one time prac-
ticed in the English colonies in North
America. Indeed, 70 rigidly was the
policy adhered to that England did
everything possible to maintain the re-
lation of farmer and manufacturer as
between the colonists II America and
the residents of England. The colo
nists were intended only for workers of
the soil, and to the end that they should
not become artizans and manufacturers,
England passed laws prohibiting the
expectation of machinery for manufac-
turing purposes, and the emigration of
workmen. 1t was thought by this
means to keep the colonists in farming
altogether and thus insure an illimita-
BILE supply Of cheap food, as well as re-
tain a good market for articles of home
manufacture.
When the successful ending of the
.xrorntfoRar ts.ar farnxar capnral ft.a
bonds between England and the colo
MES, the English sought to build up
other colonies and dependencies in agri-
culture. Canada, Australia aud other
islands scattered over the seas were en-
couraged by purchases to retain their
employment as farmers, aud buy manu-
features from the mother country.
Canada and Australia are being en-
couraged wonderfully in England at
the present time. The sentiment Of
the wealthy nabobs is to purchase foods
coming from those two countries, in
preference to any others, even If much
higher prices were demanded. Cana
dian cattle are preferred to those from
the United States for the above stated
reasons And even Australian cattle
are being imported alive in the hope of
drawing proAtably on the fifth conti-
nent of the world. There Is probably
nothing that car exceed such an en-
deavor. 1t shows to what great lengths
the English are ready to go in order to
accomplish their ends. We cannot but
admire their pluck. The new trade, in
prospective, cannot injure the west,
and therefore charity is easy.

THE indications are daily becoming
more apparent that ex-Gov. R. G. Nc
Cormick will be promoted to the posi-
tion OF chairman of the national repub-
lican committee, made vacant by the
death Of the stalwart Chandler. As we
have said heretofore, no better selection
could possibly be made, as Gov. McCor-
mick possesses executive abilities of the
highest order, and the republican party
is largely indebted to him for its sue
cessful passage through the trying po-
litical ordeal of '76 and III, and if the
departed chairman could be heard to-
day it would be in the interest of his
valued aide-de-camp of 10 and ~, who
as secretary of the national republican
committee at that time proved himself
70 be the right man iu the right place.
Then let no experiments be tried now,
but Ole of exI erience and vIgor be
chosen. Such u one Is Richard c..
Mccormick.

taking the situation in at glance, and think
ing that his time was about come, determined

landed on his left hip and arm aud rolled head
over heels down the hill about thirty feet
when he brought up alongside n curbstonc and
regaiued his feet. He was pretty badly shaken

was stopped by the driver, after u hard fight, at
