Colonies and No CoIoniata.

What the French colonies covet above
all things are colonists. The need is
for more men. But in colonizing, as in
all other things, the factor of COMPETE
ton appears. Only definite number of
colonists leave Europe every year aud
for them the colonies of the world in
formally compete, offering this or that
advantage to the intending settler But
one of the first things the colonist wants
to know 10 whether living will be fairly
cheap in the place Of which he is think
ing. Can / get the things / want TO
build my house and work my farm rea-
sonably cheap, and will the comforts
shall want for myself and my family be
procurable at moderate prices?'
These are the sort Of questions that
occur to the balancing" colonist. But
as regards the French colonies close
investigation can prove only one thing
namely, THAT settlers In them are
handicapped by high tariffs and the
dear prices that follow high tariffs
Hence the French colonies find it ex-
tremely difficult to attract colonists
Italians. Germans and Englishmen who
are going to leave Europe find the
French colonies too dear, and even the
few Frenchmen who voluntarily Exile
themselves" prefer places where they
will not be pursued by the general tar
iff. The result is that the French col
snies are without colonists.-Spectator
