MANITOBA A DANGEROUS COMPETITOR.
But it has been said that we need have no
lear of English competition from the wheat
fields of Manitoba. The quantity which
would be brought inlacross the line would cut
no figure in our domestic manufactures. Let
us not be deceived on this point. To-day the
cloud is no larger than q mans hand; to.mor-
row it may be colossal This competing con.
tiguous territory comprises not less than $780,
600 square miles. 1t would make nearly eight
states as large as New York. 1t is 500 miles
long, and nearly 400 miles in width. The Can
ada Pacific railway is on its rapid journey to
pierce the vast prairie terraces of the Saskat-
chewan river. 1t is now established that this
great zone, the basin of the Winnipeg, is the
| seat of the maximum production of wheat 1t
is law that this cereal yields its greatest pro-
| duct near the northernmost limit of its posi-
bic growth. They can profitably grow wheat
to tie sixtieth degree OF north latitude. Con-
slider, with these physical facts, the extraordi-
nary immigration this-wheat zone is now re-
| ceiving. No such phenomenon of the creation
! of empire has been witnessed SIS is now in pro-
| cress of enactment in the great Winnipeg
| basin and along the line of the Northern Paci-
| fc railway. This importing population must
bend their united energies to the growth of
wheat. 1t is the one great purpose of their
| mission thither. So great are the possibilities
| that it invests the movement with world
wide interest. We may never be able qnite to
| forgive the men who did not make Manitoba
American when they could have done So But
| it is English now. Are our own wheat inter-
ests to be overwhelmed by an English inunda-
| ton? When the reciprocity treaty existed the
production of wheat in Manitoba was of no
consequence. To-day the situation is rapidly
changing. The existing tariff of twenty cents
bushel is a barrier against Any possible in
jury to the American farmer from this source.

RELIGIOUS READING.
Education.
STEPHENS CITY, v

Education.
1 have long since concluded that it is
the will of God that there should not be
an ignoramus on the earth. l believe
hat it is the will of God that the whole
human family should be literally edu-
Gated and in order to bring about what
we might properly be called liberal
education it is only necessary to observe
one commandment in the decalogue,
namely, Remember the Sabbath day
to keep it holy" If You have lived to
be twenty-one years of age you have
had three whole years of Sabbaths ; IL
YOU have lived to be fifty years old you
have had six years Of Sabbath, in which
to cultivate your nobler faculties. When
the religion of Christ shall become the
religion of the world, when all mankind
shall remember tina Sabbath day to
keep it holy" I believe there will not
be q fool nor knave or the face OF the
earth. It is the will of God that oui
intellectual faculties and our mora
faculties should be highly developed
and that they should control our &C
tions. Nor does this interfere with thu
duty of labor. Work is honorable
work with the hands is as honorable o
work with the mind !; and when all mel
remember the Sabbath and carry on
the principles of the Christian religion
something far in advance Of these glow
ing pictures drawn by the false reform
ers of modern times will be obtained
and will be the property and inherit
ance Of the whole world. e. O. Haze

are the bonds which the Democrats
propose to Iiay Is lulI, often Boilers
do not 50 understand it is because
of wilful determination not to see,
and admit the TAGS as they are, but to
Ielb blindly 10 the error hoping there
by to misleld goo land true democrats
and hoodwink them into supporting
BE lslcy, and insure the election Of
IIrwkins. The COG men OF Nash
vile openly announced that unless the
convention cndurs.d the COG settle
menr, they would bolt, and put ont
man for Governor upon that platform.
That they would furnish Beasly with
money tor conduct his canvass, be-
ieying that, with this population
platform, he would carry off large
number of Low-tax Democrats, that
their candidate would take off ON Of
the other end Of the line, ana that
they could in that way weaken Bate
go a. to let Hawkins in. They know
tlat Hawkins wi.l carry out the 90 8
settlement and their chief desire is to
secure his election, They don't want
Beasly elected, and they know that
the candidate which they propose to
put out on the 18th, August, stands 10
earthly chance Of an election, think
the most decent thing these Buffers
could do would be, to go over to Haw-
kins horse foot and dragoon, rather
than protesting to be Democrats, stab
tn Dem C attic party in the back.
TIL! State debt proper, and bonds
held by educational and charitable
institution, less war interest upon Ii c
state debt proper, IS now abolt S27,
100000. Take off this 100000,
and we have $24 900, 600, to be seal
ed at SO cents OH the dollar. That
would make the perm lnent debt s15-
000, 200, bearing per cent interest;
the annual interest amounting to $3.50
/ 600 per annum. Now take the COG
settlement, and you will find that to
let the Bonds run 80 years. With per
cent interest for "A per cent, for 5
per cent, for ? and 6 per cent for the
remaining "A years, as provided ia
the 60 6 law and you will find THAI:
the average annual interest amounts
to little over Sl,000,O00. Allcon
sec that by repeating the 60-6 settle
ment, and adopting SOB as proposed
by the Democrats, the people of the
State would save at least $500, 900 per
year in interest, to say nothing of the
$2,0OO,o00 difference in principal.
The Boilers were mistaken when
they supposed they could force 50 alb
slrd a proposition down the threats OF
the people Of Tcnnnssee, in my opinion
they will be compelled to give Mr..
Beasly something Little more plaus-
able, to enable him to dra off from
Bate enough Democrats to let in
Hawkins. II.
