persons TO gointo them and help to manage the IN

of individuals to do good service where it is
most needed. 1t will help our best men in
the church to mako themselves useful in
dealing with very difficult questions. 1t will
place such men where they can do most for
the wage earners. 1t will help capitalists to
realize better the responsibility for wealth. 1t

when members of this Christian Social Union

result is reached we shall have regulation
of industry on a moral, if not Christian,
basis.-Boston Herald.

striking facts from those reports Tho
general net earnings OF few OF these
mills are as follows:
The Flint mills earned SCI. IT'S. or Tx

were In each case considerably less
than the net earnings. the balance OF
the profits being added to the surplus
or else put into improvements. From q

Mckinley. The commission having the
matter, in hand says that one OF the
motives which ind uced IL 70 propose a
great increase OF duties was .sthc cx-

tries"
The foreign country whose tariff lcgis-
lat on has awakened most opposition in
France is the United states with her
two Mckinley laws First came the
Mex nlcy customs law, which went into
effect August !. and which places great
and unnecessary difficult cs in the way
q our trade with foreign countries.
This measure was intended and framed
WITH the direct purpose OF lessen ng our
purchases in foreign markets. by nutting
artificial and unjust restrictions in the
way What are some Of those di'licul-
hes? Duties must be paid not only on
FOODS but on the boxes or other cover

kaustible fertility aud we'll watered,
and at the same time easily worked. be-
ing prepared by nature for the pillow. you
may reasonably expect TO find farming q
profitable occupation and the farmers in
such a country making more than bare
living. Agriculture in such a country Is
like mining simply taking gold from
the soil in the shape of the finer grades
of wheat and other cereals. and II pos
scsses the great advantage over mining
that the amount of actual work neccs-
sary to make il pay is comparatively
very small.
Upon the great fertile prairies Of West
ern Canada, where millions Of acres of
the richest land in the world are COM
prised within the Provinces Of Mani
itoba. Assiniboia, Alberta. etc. settlers,
old and new. have simply taken gold
from the ground in the shape OF mag
nificent crops for the season Of 1890.
Their gold is golden grain, but it
yields as sure returns as any metal ever
mined. The writer visited farm after
farm in Manitoba the past season
where the yield Of wheat averaged from
30 to 3s bushels per acre, and where
oats yielded frequently IS bushels per
acre Of choice grain. Upon one iarm OF
l.so0 acres, the crop of wheat and oats
was close TO 10000 bushels. and Of this
the first lot Of 20. 900 bushels OF wheat
was sold for SIC and soc per bushel.
Close beside this large farm was small
one from which the owner had taken
his first crop. He had started with no
capital the year before, yet his crop of
wheat was 200 bushels and the quality
was so good that he got s5c per bushel
for il, one cent 2 bushel more than his
,se;.,.i.y neighbor, which meant just
$3.50 for his first season in wheat alone.
With climate peculiarly adapted to
grain growing, and population repre-
senting nearly every nation. Western
Canada offers to the settler a most
favorable chance 10 succeed among
friends or fellow countrymcn Of his own.
