Mn. GLADsroNE's article in tho Youths
Companion, with regard TO the future of
the English-speaking races embodies
prediction that captivates the fancy with
something of the charm Of "dream of
empire" The prophecy is that by the
end of another century the English-speak
ing people will practically control the
whole OF the Inhabited globe. Nor IL the
prediction at all fanoiful. If these peo-
pie have increased from twenty millions
TO one hundred and five millions (the
present estimated number) in the last
hundred years, there ia no reason why
they should not increase to seven hun
dred millions in 1888. That would be
nearly twice the present population of
China. Others, indeed, estimate that the
English speaking races will number at
least thousand millions before another
century is completed. But, however, that
may be, when we remember how much
more rapidly the English. speakers are in
creasinR than the Germans and Russians,
the prolific people of Europe, we may be
sure that they will enormously outnumber
thosc who use any other language az their
yerpacular. Whether the British speak
ng races, as they grow and spread, will
also maintain their essential unity is, per
haps, somewhat OF question. Bot yet
there cen be little doubt that the feeling
Of race pride and the notes OF race char
aoter will grow stronger rather than weak
er, and that what Mr.. Gladstone calls "the
sense of mortal oneness" will be 9s con
spicuous in 1883 as it is in 1888. And
while the prospect of predominanca OF
English-speaking people cannot but be
pleasant to ourselves, 1t Is az the same
time favorable for the world as WI. BY
common consent the allied Enghsh races
carry with them all the best agencies OF
of civilization; they have the mos
efficient organizations, both government
al and social; they offer larger Liberties
and greater industrial chances. TO have
them in practics! control of the world
will certainly make for the progress of
humanity. There is occasion, there
fore, for no other than optimistic thought
with regard to the probabilities of the
future comparative growth of races.

TOBACCO RAISING IN THE EAST.
Tie Noxious weed is Now Grown in British
North Borneo.
Landau Times

North Borneo.
London Times
In the last report from the British CON
sular agent at SAndakan, the capital of
British North Borneo, reference is made
70 the planting of tobacco in this lew
territory. The cultivation of "urapn to-
baoco has proved exceedingly lucrative in
Sumatra, where some of the leading com
panies pay dividends of over 100 per
cent, ard in one case 125 per cent was
paid in 1856, This tobacco combines
quality with elasticity and extreme thin
ness, so that the leaf covers as large a
number of cigars. The value attached
to it may be judged from the fact that
while the price of ordinary smoking to-
bacco is about sd per pound, wholesale
and in bond, "urap" fetches from % Sd,
to 81 Cd. On the other hand, the cultiva-
ton is attended by unusual risk and very
heavy expenses, and it Yves long thought
that the peculiar conjunction of soil and
climate necessary for its production was
confined to Sumatra, but experiments
have shown that it can also be grown in
British North Borneo. Samples from
there were highly recommended at the
colonial and Indian exhibition, and suit
able land for the purpose is being eager
ly saken up, chiefly by Dutch planters.
Most of the capital employed and Of the
Europeans engaged are Dutch, because
hitherto the production of "urap" to-
baccU has been almost eutirely Dutch
industry carried on in Dutch colonies.
One of the principal reasons for the
Dutch purchasing tobacco lands outside
thsir own colonies is the very heavy tax
alton to which they are subjected by their
own goverpment. In Java the planter
has to pay coolie poll taxes, license tax,
high railway charges, export and many
other dues, and in addition has 10 pay
yearly a tax on his land, which would buy
it outright in q 999-year lease IN North
Borneo, where there are practically no
taxes or imports whatever except those
ON opium, spirits, and the ike. Hence
the Dutch are not only F5osp ecting the
country for tobacco, but also for sugar,
coffee aud other cultivation.

The journal of the chamber of Com
MERGE of Constantinople reports that the
Smyrna fig season opened on Aug y and
-, when the first consignment of dried
figs arrived at the station at Aidin.
They were received with loud cheering
and the usual ceremonies, and were laden
on gayly decorated camels and followed
by a throng of shouting people to the
fruit market. This public excitement
will be understood when it is stated that
large number of poor families N
Smyrna obtain their entire livelihood
during the fig season. In the two or
three months which it lasts they earn not
less than 100000 Turkish pounds. Among
the Symrna figs two kind are recognized
ia the BatazZikia and Lopla'
The former can also be dried, but the
packing and dispatch offer difficulties
and they are consumed in the county
Only the Lopia is dried and exported
There are three kinds of these growing
in different parts of the country. As
soon as the figs ara ripe they are shaken
off the trees without ceremony, and fan
on dry grass which is placed around every
tree. Twenty-four hours later they are
done up in sacks and sent of to tntF
destination.
