THE CHEAPER FOREIGN POSTAGE
RATES.


This Is the last month In which the
man who has correspondents abroad
viii have to bother about the weight
OF the ordinary letters he sends them
With a postage tariff based on the
half-ounce, one never can be sure
when an ordinary letter will! just ex.
coed the limit and innict double
payment on the receiver abroad. But
with n rate based on the ounce In.
stead OF the half-ounce the ordinary
letter is safe. There will be great
relief for the scales.
The relief to the pocketbooks of
correspondents will also be noticeable
Instead of cents n half-ounce the
rate after October 1 will be cents
an ounce. instead of 8 cents fol each
additional half-ounce the rate will be
cents for each additional ounce. A
letter weighing Just under two ounces.
which heretofore has cost 20 cents.
will hereafter be transmitted for 8
cents.
This is not the only Improvement in
the new rules of the international pos
tai union. The new response col-
pom" Is going to meet long-felt want.
Heretofore IL has been impossible to
second return postage abroad. Here
after anyone can buy a coupon at any
postoffice which will entitle the re.
clplent to It's face value In stamps OF
any foreign country. The cost Will
be 6 cents for a scent coupon, this
extra charge being necessitated by
the heavy expense OF maintaining q
clearinghouse for the adjustment OF
accounts between the countries issu.
irg and cashing the coupons.
Even cheaper rates than those now
to be put in force are indeed pos
sibillty within the near future. Post
master General Meyer Is of the opln-
ion that a 2-cent rate Is practicable be
tween all countries having direct
steamboat service. and is considering
the possibility of Its Introduction. The
same conviction is felt by influential
men In Great Britain and elsewhere,
and the movement for progress on
this line seems certain to grow In
force

CANADA's GREAT WAVE OF ,Waaj-
GRAFTON s~rp

immigration into Canada In the year
1898 was 31.90O. During the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1907. the num-
Der of immigrants was 252,038.
immigration into the United States
increased from 229.299 In the nscal
year 1878 to l,2S5.OOO In the Ascal
year 19O6-7.
In Canada there were nearly eight
times as many immigrants in 1907 us
there were In 1898. In the United
States but a trifie over Ave times as
many. and 1t should be noted that the
American immigration In 1898 was the
lowest In the long series OF years from
1879 to 1907.
This shows that the percentage OF
increase has been much greater In
Canada than 1t has been in this coun-
try, even when such a small year for
the United States figures In the com
parison. But even more interesting
is the consideration OF the relation
which the yearly immigration bears to
the population. The population of
Canada In 1901 was 5,3l7,315. The
population of the United States in
1900 was 76.303,387. Though we are
now adding more than million i'm
migrants to our population yearly. the
huge total OF last was was relatively
OF much less Importance than the ad-
dition which Canada made to her pop
ulation. II we had a quarter of a
million to every Ave millions and "A
quarter OF the population we should
bo receiving more than three million
immigrants annually.
The returns by races or nationali
ties in Canada are not at hand as yet,
but in the recent years OF large i'm
migration from the United Kingdom
has considerably exceeded that from
the United States. and the immigra-
tion from the United States has ex-
ceeded that from all other countries.
Apparently a large percentage Of the
new blood In Canada comes from the
old stock. and no such problem OF
assimilation Is presented AZ we have
IN this country.
