VIII Not Stand The Test.

1t should b remembered that the greater
proportion Of the settlers in this vicinity
frat came to Manitoba from Ontario and
other eastern Canadian provinces and aftcr
thoroughly testing the advantages Of that
country. moved to this side, ''poorsr but
wiser msn." Wo venture the assertion
that there is not . land en- the face Of the
earth with al Unstable settlement ~ that
of Manitoba. Again, there is not . land
that can present = grandcr appearance,
more alluring features, than Manitoba
during the summer season, but, for all that,
A. an agricultural region it will not stand
the test. While hope und money last the
settlers remain and then HE them away to
some other quarter Of the earth. If, per-
chance, they endowed with an inordinats
loyal sentiment they invariably seek some
other section Of the Queens domain, but
on the contrary. where i~mpregnatsd with
. sense of liberty and indepsnd snce, they
invariably move to the United States. We
need not show why farming in Manitoba is
a precarious business-there are thousands
Of ex-M anitobaians on this side of the line
who understand too we'll why it is so and
there are thousands Of Canadians now
coming into Manitoba who will Iearn from
experience the lesson that the others have
already learnt. The extreme southern
portion Of Manitoba alone is q safs region
in which to engage in farming. God be
merciful to those who locate north of the
Canada Pacific railway or in any closer
proximity to the region Of perpetual win
teri. d. Star.

No Politics in It.

The duty on Canadian barley was ten
cents a bushel. Tne trainers of the Nc
Kinley law sought to raise it to thirty
cents. The border towns, without re-
gard to party lines, protested against
any increase. but offered to compromise
@at fifteen cents. Senator Hiscock was
indifferent or hostile, and the objections
of Buffalo. Oswego. ETC., were un-
hesded.
The Increase was gratuitous. It was
not needed for purposes Of protection.

SCHOOL LAND SALES.

c. M. Hartwick, Esq. who has
done so much valuable immigration
work in the interests Of the Red.
river valley, has furnished the Daily
News of Grand Forks, an interesting
statement Of the recent sale of school
lands in Walsh, Traill and Richland
counties,
His figures are as follows:
Total number of quarter sections
sold 256. Total acreage 1926 IT,
100. Gross price realized, $780,
41I.01. Average price per acre
$685.. The highest prices paid
were Walsh county, $500; Trail
county $4,000; Richland county
$34. 90.
The total sale Of school lands last
year in the five Red River valley
counties we're 80, 1923 acres-at an
average price Of $20.26 per acre and
the total proceeds of sales were $500
5000. These are the highest
figures ever secured by any state
from the sale of school lands. It il
estimated that in ten (10) years the
income from the sale Of these lands
will sustain all the public schools OF
the state.
With all due respect to the Red.
river valley boomers and immigra-
tionists, we have this to say of Botti.

h Arlington Mills Paid u Profit Of

Now that the bureau of statistics has
issued its annual report OH imported
merchandise entered for consumption in
1891, We have the data required to deter
mine how high u rate we are paying on
imported woods and WOODEN goods. The
Mckinley tariff raised the duties on
wooden goods so high that for u long
time they were supposed to be prohibi.
tive.
But it was soon found that notwith.
standing the high duties imposed, wooden
goods continued to be imported, though
in diminished quantities.. In 1890 we
imported ga. l65, 423 of wooden goods
and in 1891, $43,235.4l0. OF the imports
in 1891 $~,3,543,6!9 were entered under
the old tariff AMI &c., 31 .795 under the
Mckinley tariff. Allowing for the alb
normally large imports from July l to
Oct. 4, 1890, for the purpose of %anticipat-
ing the higher duties, the imports under
the Mckinley tariff are but little less
than before it became a law. In short,
the duties levied by the Mckinley tariff
are not high enough to accomplish the
end neutrality-suspicious.. How much
higher they are than the old rates is
shown by the following table of the ad
valorem equivalents of specific and COM
po1ul duties:

This is an incrcacc Of over 90 per cent.
Under the tariff Of 1885 worstel cloths
were not separated from all other wool
manufactures, AMI thc item Of cloths
in tie above table represents wooden
cloths only for 1890. Under the McKin.
ley tariff wooden and worsted cloths bear
the same rates Similarly. pushes were
not separately enumerated in 1890.
On bunting, as shown above. the ad
valorc1n rate is less now than in 1890.
The duties are, however, higher now
than before, but since they are practi-
cally p%1ohibitive, this fact is Of little i'm
portance.
A tariff averaging 1924 per cent. just
scits the large number of 50 called
wooden manufacturers, who ore large
users of shoddy extracts and cotton.
Only a short time ago n Of the leading
manufacturers declared that all wool
goods are now the exception and not the
rule. No truer or briefer statement of
the effect of high and prohibitive duties
has ever been made. The high duties on
wool and woolens have made all wool
goods so high that they are beyond the
mean OF a large number Of people. AS
a consequence they must wear shoddy
instead.
It has been asserted that wooden goods
have not risen in price in consequence of
the Mckinley tariff. How this can be
reconciled with an increase in the duties
of fully 80 per cent. and but a slight de-
crease in the i1nportations is beyond
comprehension.
But the Mckinley tariff has been a
bonanza to the manufacturers, for it en-
abled such mills as the Arlington, of
which Mr.. Whitman is president, to
earn a profit of 50 per cent. in 1891. No
wonder, in view Of this. that Mr.. Whit
man is so strenuous in his opposition to
any change in the duties on his products.
The present wool tariff is nothing but
a legallzca form Of robbery. There was
an old English law which provided
that every person after death should
be buried in a wooden STROUD. in order
that the manufacture of woolens might
be encouraged. More barbarous and
unreasonable than that ancient law, the
Mckinley tariff. by its merciless taxes
on woolens, discourages the wearing Of
them by the living.
