So say we all. "a legislature that pro-
yides for the liberation of criminals and
the opening of dram. shops contrary to the
will of the people, has no claim for the
respect and consideration of good men.
The liquor traffic is increasing, and just
in promotion as it increases does crime
grow. Saloons are sinks OF iniquitv and
pest-houses that should be exterminated
by law, and not fostered and encouraged"

This country has but about one-twentieth
of the worlds population, but it consumes
2S per cent. of the worlds crop of sugar,
80 per cent. of the worlds production of
coffee, nearly one-third of the worlds pro-
duction of iron, about a third of the worlds
steel and copper, more han q quarter of
the worlds cotton and wool, a third OF the
India rubber of the world and more that
half of the worlds supply of tin and 40 per
cent. of all the coal from the mipes. The
reason that this sountry consumes SO much
is that it has the wherewithal to pay for it,
and the reason it has the wherewithal is
because it has protected and diversified its
industries.-Er.

We hear more or less said nowadays
about elevating the masses, and don't
think just now of any way in which this
can be more effectually done than in rent
ing a country store and putting in it a
seedy young fellow as clerk. In less than
a month, the chances are, this same young
scarcely get down low enough to recognize
his own sister. The country store, and
not the public school, appears the proper
place to solve the elevation theory.

he rather chuckled over the loss and
looked pleased. During the next forenoon
