Charles Dickens ones rsesponded to the
earnest solicitations Of some friends and
became editor sof the London News,
which was then started to compete with
the Times, the '"Thunderer.'' Dickens
was never cut out for such q position. He
received q salary OF $500 a week, but
Threw up the Job In q few weeks and went
pack to more congenial business, where
ne was not so pushed by work. Dickens,
seated In the editorial sanctum dressed
as he usually was in d rather pronounced
style, with bright scaIlet rolling facings
to his vest, with something Of sur
plusage of rings on his fingers and a
gartsh, heavy gold watch chain, could
hardly have looked as IL he was adapted
to his environage. It was admirably
GOOD common sense which led Dickens
to- abandon the storm and stress Of daily
journalism. Had he stuck to the place
even the $500 week could not have
prevented his funeral before the end Of
his first Year Another sensible thing
Dickens did was to- stick to his Cockneys,
ana portray his nursery maids, kitchen
girls, mlliners, haberdashers, butchers
ana bakers and candlestick makers,
boarding house people chiefly He had
IN this field a kind @of Meissonier talent

was out of his depth. So he, was in the

Opposed to Wider Markets.

It is rather amusing to see how eager
some of the eastern Canadian papers are
to protect the western Canadian farmer
is in line with the growing protection
sentiment in Canada and the determine
ton OF the eastern part Of it to make all
it can out OF the western farmer. The
Toronto Mail and Empire is striving earn,
estly to save the Manitoba and Assiniboia
farmer from the dangers Of competing
markets. The Mail and Empire is stirred
up to its latest effort in behalf of west
ern farmers by the reciprocity resolutions
of the national convention Of millers and
Of the International Union Of Flour and
Cereal Mill Employees.
The Mail argues that If the Canadian
wheat grower has another market to send
his wheat to the price will be lower. Our
early economic studies had made us be-
lieve that a competition of buyers tended
to raise prices, but after this lesson In
improved economy from the Mail and En-
pire we shall have to subside. The dia-
phanous argument is based on the theory
that If Canadian wheat were admitted to
the United States free Of duty the Mime
apolis miller could play the Canadian
seller against the American seller, and
SO get a lower price. But this argument
implies that the Minneapolis miller would
be the only buyer in the world The
opening UP Of the Minneapolis and Duluth
market to Canadian wheat would not
take away from it the markets 1t now
has or deprive it OF the use Of Canadian
trade channels. On the contrary, until
Canadian transportation arrangements are
better than at present, the mere freedom
Of Canadian wheat to use American
warehouses and American trade channels

It really takes a most extraordinary
year to beat in a crop way country that
raises some crops over an area 5000 miles
long and 1000 miles wide. OF the wheat
crop Of 1902, 1000, 900 bushels were win
ter sown and ao7 600, 900 spring wheat. The
lower Missouri valley produced about
1s4,ooo,ooo bushels, the upper Mississippi
and Red river; valley 1877 200, 900; the Pa
cific coast 61,0O0,o0o; the Atlantic; coast
states 42,ooo,ooo, and the Ohio valley and
lake states 132,ooo,ooQ. It is not in the
natural order Of things that weather con-
ditions will be such as to ruin both win
ter and spring wheat over such a large
area and with such marked differences OF
climate.

Certain Primacies.

The Atlanta Constitution, discussing
the rapid progress Of the cotton manufac-
turing industry in the south, shows. that
a decade ago we exported to Europe over
three-fifths Of the southern cotton crop
of 7,140,867 bales. Home consumption In
creased so that. in 1899 1900 four and-one-
half-tenths of the crop Of 10000, 900 bales
was retained for home consumption. At
the rate new cotton mills are erecting
and going into operation it looks as If
our cotton export business will yield to
the more advantageous process Of manu-
featuring all our raw cotton surplus and
turning it into finished goods to be sold
abroad. The Atlanta paper says in this
connecticut:
What we need to do in the south is
to keep right on pooling our capital in
the building Of cotton mills. Fluctua-
lions in prices Of the staple win continue
so long as our raw surplus is marketed in
Europe and priced for us by the Liver
pool exchange. But when our population
catches up, as 1t soon will, to the meas
ures OF our cotton crops and the capacity
Of our mills to take 1t here at home, there
will be no surplus for Liverpool to juggle
with ana the pr1ce-fxlng boots for cot
ton and cotton goods will be on the legs
Of Uncle Sam. His legs are in the south
SO far as his cotton interests are con-
cerned and it is our duty to ourselves to
pull EN- for all they are worth!
That is strongly put The English cot
ton mill proprietors view with prophetic
eye the time when our own country NAV
require all the cotton we can produce in
our own cotton growing territory. which.
however, is as yet far from being ex-
hausted.
About forty years ago the English cot
ton mill owners, when our civil war had
diminished the output Of raw cotton and
the price went soaring, talked cheerfullv
about getting all the cotton they wanted
from India and Egypt. That proposition
has long ago been given up as too hypo-
theticai. In the crop years 1912 our
southern states produced nearly Ii. ooo. Don
bales Of cotton, while India produced
1890, 900 bales-the largest crop excent
that OF 1s99s1soo. which she had producad
| In ten years: The quality Of Indian COT
ton is very much below that Of the south
lern states. It IS interesting to note that
q third Of the British exports ct piece
lcotton goods go to India, which cannot
