The communication of Mr.. CafapbelI
Shaw, of Buffalo, in yesterdays Journal,
makes it very clear why a treaty which
would give Canada's producers our markets
should be enacted. Such an argument,
however, was unnecessary, since a country
which has no market for its own products
naturally desires a market in another
country which has a market at as little
cost as possible. The Journal has never
considered this subject with reference to
the advantage of Canada, consequently a
statement setting forth the needs of Cam
ada for an American market which Ameri-
can farmers can supply in abundance does
not appeal to it. 1t may be added that if
Canada's preferential tariff of SO 13 per
cent. in favor of Great Britain does not
diminish Canada's purchases of the United
States, the duty imposed upon Canadian
goods ought not to be cause of objection
TO Canada. The one fact remains as it has
remained for years: Canada wants some
thing for nothing; and now it proposes to
retain a preferential duty of 80 1-3 per
cent. in favor Of Great Britain and against
the United States and yet ask for free en-
try into our markets with farm produce,
lumber, fish and poor coal, while the pref
erence stands against us. The threat that
Canada will increase it's duties and manu-
facture it's own goods will not brighten
many people. Canada has five millions OF
people scattered over a narrow belt ex.
tending from ocean to ocean. No nation OF
five millions of people consumes a sufficient
quantity of manufactured goods to make
it possible to establish such widely diversi.
fed industries. Mr.. Shaw shows. from
beginning to end of his article. that the
present conditions are in our favor. Act
ing upon his presentation, there need be
no change.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.


Robert Shackleton, a New York news
paper man with some reputation as a writer
OF bright short stories, has just had his
first novel published by the Appletons IN
der the scripturally suggestive title OF
Many Waters" One who hastily judges
the nature of a story by its title, as many
slipshod newspaper readers derive their
knowledge of current topics of the day
from reading merely the headlines, might
conclude that Mr.. Shackleton's interesting
narrative is an attempt TO throw a glamour
Of fiction over some particular portion of

on a great modern daily is a world apart
and full OF seductive mystery. There Is a
striking and effective description OF a
street-railrOad strike in the metropolis, and
the author takes his readers into the inner
temple of Wall-street speculation, showing
graphically the workings of that most Won
derful OF all gambling games, in which one
OF two seeming cuisines partners may be
financially ruined while the other energies
totally unscathed. The main theme of the
book, which is admirably and Gelicately
treated, is designed to show the folly of a
woman uniting herself to a man she does
not love, particularly when that man hap
pens to be a plodder on a morning news
paper in a great city. Shotterly, the man
in question. worshiped his wife Zoe, but,
being a newspaper slave, had not the OPP
portunity TO show her the attention she
craved and had the right to expect. Being
childless and having no other mental dis
traction, the woman struggled Intellectually
against the apparently inevitable outcome,
but finally yielded and disappeared with a
millionaire named Ward. This incident, un-
pleasant in its bare telling, is admirably
treated in the book, and those who may be
contemplating action similar to that Of

agement in the outcome OF her folly.

An Educational Scheme.

In a little pamphlet bearing the title THE
World-An Educational Unit" Mr.. A. d.
Raub proposes a novel application of the
doctrine of paternalism. lie holds that it
is the duty of the government TO extend
educational advantages to old as we'll as
young, and to that end urges the estab-
lishment of a national press. This would
involve the formation of a separate de-
partment at Washington, its head, under
the supervision of the President, TO select a
certain number of men qualified in their
respective lines to serve as life editors Of
the various divisions of the proposed ma
tional newspaper. There should be ten of
these parts, Mr.. Raub thinks, beginning
with an agricultural journal and including
tiers, science, literature, reforms, home life,
youthful interests, biography and history,
and religion. These papers should be is
sued weekly, printed and folded separately
and sent TO every family in the United
States. By this means, he believes, the
diverse elements in our population. would
become unified sooner than by any other
plan. The influence would be of a GEN.
tralizing character. Not content with the
founding of such an institution in this
country the author would have other ma
lions establish a government press. and
by occasional meetings of the several
bodies of editors eventually bring about
the regeneration of the world. The origi-
nator OF this unique plan sets forth his
tie book is worth reading, since, though his
scheme is impracticable, a germ of wis
dom is sometimes TO be found in the visions
of a dreamer.

MEN OR WOMEN TEACHERS.

Some commotion has been caused among
the public-school teachers in Milwaukee by
a statement of one of the male principals
that women principals and teachers who
have served ten years or more get
grabbed, cranky and cross" and thereby
drive boys out Of the schools" The state

very able paper and that IL might be

years experience 10 take the places of
