THE FRENCH AS coLoNisTs
why They Have Failed in That In which

why They Have Failed in That In which
the English Have Well Succeeded.
The FTenehman's love of France, plus
his amiability, has always rendered his
efforts at colonization rather feeble
He goes abroad, but he returns the
moment he has acquired the smallest
competence; so that, except in Canada. &
and. it may be in the African islands. a
French colony. in the English accept
ance of the term. is almost unknown.
Nor has he the art of ruling barbarous
people, anxious though he is to essay
the task. lie is apt to become too
familiar with the inferior raee-too
much like one of themselves. Bishop
Heber tells us that in his day the
memory of the French rule in India
was held in affection by the natives;
but that the British, though they were
not Lowell, were feared and respected.
And it is just this kind of respect
which in the time of trouble serves to
win and keep the empire of such a
country. Kossuth used TO say that if
a Frenchman and an Englishman were
both landed on a savage island, the
Frenchman would in six months be tat
tooed like the aborigines, and hardly
distinguishable from them, but that
the Englishman would be king of the
tribe.
The requirements of epigram aside.
there is in this dictum great deal OF
truth, for it is certain that while nj
one time France seemed far more like
" than England TO be a widespreading
nation. she has contracted her bonds
in the latter's favor. In the early days
of Canada the French were more sue
cessful than the British in winning the
savages, and Mr.. FislSe seems TO think
that their ''firmness and tact" ought
to have been more powerful in exteTd-
ing the limits of their empire than the
"disdainful GOODNESS of the English"
But when we read of the fiery and
naughty FrOntenac. most punctilious
of courtiers. with the bluest blood OF
France flowing in his veins, not think
ing it beneath his dignity or his seventy
years Ito smear his cheeks with vermil-
lion, and caper madly about in the war
dance. brandishing tomahawk over
his head. and yelling like a screech owl
or cougar, it does not require great
deal of penetration TO know that
neither tact nor terrorism could long
keep the race of vvhonFsuch a mounte-
bank was the representative, the mas
ter of people in whom familiarity
breeds contempt" The modern French
metis is invariably far more of an In
dian than his Scottish or English
cousins, though the fathers might have
been in much the same social position;
and to this day-as Il was at the period
when Britain contended with France
for the lordship Of the New World-a
Frenchman is more likely to he on good
relations with his Indian neighbors
than a Briton or man of British blood.

Britain.
BuDA PEsrH, Aug. e9.-The annual
report of the Hungarian minister of
agriculture has appeared. Its estimate
of the worlds production of wheat this
year is aero, 900. 900 bushels, against
the official average of 1850, 900, 600 an
nually for the last ten years. The
report says the deficits to be filled by
the importing countries will require
$40, 000, 900 bushels. The surplus avail
able in exporting countries to satisfy
this demand is 37s, 664, 900 bushels. The
worlds product of rye is given as 49,
900. 900 hectoliters
The yield of wheat in North America
y estimated as $50, 900, 900 bushels; the
yie.d of rye as "a, 333. 600 bushels, and
the yield of maize as 1909, 900 bushels.
The reports say also as much rye,
oats and barley will be needed to take
the place of fodder destroyed by the
drought, the consumption of wheat and
rye is likely to be unusually large.
High prices. therefore, are likely TO
rule when the American shipments to
Europe cease.
LONDON, Aug 29.--The Times in the
course of a long reader on the dismal
agricultural prospects of Great Britain
says that foreign competition depressess
the price of cattle and corn. The inn
ports of animals and meat, it says, will
swamp the markets this year. Great
Britain will be more than ever depend
ent on foreign supplies and will require
at least 2s,00O,0oo quarters of wheat
from abroad. France, it adds, must
import more than twice as much as she
usually does AS to Germany, that
country has already begun to draw on
the American market for supplies.
When nations thus bid against each
other, the article says there is fair
chance that prices will advance.
