COUNTING THE PEOPLE.
First Census Proposal IN England
Raised q Fine Row.

First Census Proposal IN England
Raised Fine Row.
It was In 1853 that proposal TO
count the people was first made.
Thomas Potter. son OF the archbishop
of Canterbury and member for st,
Germans. introduced In that year a
bill for taking and registering an an
nual account of the total number of
the people and of the total number Of
marriages. births and deaths and also
of the total number Of poor receiving
aims from every parish aud extra paro-
chial place In Great Britain IL was
inevitable. OF course, that directly this
proposal was made the precedent Of
King David should be quoted. And
many were the ieremiads as TO the al
rernative evils which would befall the
country. Those submitted TO David
were mild in comparison. Mr.. Thorn
ton. member for York city, said:
II did not believe that there was any
set Of men or indeed any individual OF
the human species so presumptuous
and so abandoned as TO make the pro-
posai we have Just heard. | hold this
subject to be totally subversive or the
last remains of English liberty. The
new bin will direct the imposition OF
new taxes. and indeed the addition or
a very few words will make 1t the
most effectual engine Of rapacity and
oppression that was ever used against
an injured people. Moreover, an an
nual register of our people will ac-
quaint our enemies abroad With cur
weakness"
Matthew Ridley. another opposing
member. added that his constituents
looked on the proposal as ominous
and feared lest some public misfortune
or an epidemical distemper should fol
low the numbering. However, the
bill passed the commons only to be
promptly rejected by the lords. Not
until 1900 was the proposal again
made, and on this occasion 1t was
brought to successful issue. The
first census Of England and Wales was
taken In March. 1801.-Westminster

TRICKY ART DEALERS.
Astute Partisan Scheme For Booming
"New Master,D

For the booming of new artist ar
astute dealer is necessary. He catches
his artist as young as possible. prefer
ably as an exhibitor of crazy canvases
at the autumn salon Of the independ
ents' exhibition. and commissions him
to paint 100 pictures year.
One by one. occasionally in twos and
threes, at judicious intervals the deal
er sends the pictures to the Hotel
Drouot for sale By public auction
There he has confederates. who raise
the price at each sale. and he buys
| them In himself.
After q few months the young ar
lists canvases have certain market
value. and the next step is taken to
turn their painter into modern mas
ter. The critics are attacked One of
them Is asked TO look at some daub.
and when he cries out with horror the
dealer says:
What? You don't like It? Take II
home with you as favor TO me. live
with Il six months and them
In due course an art amateur calls
upon the critic and cannot contain his
admiration for the new artists pic
ture
what a masterpiece. The most
modern thing in art have seen for
long timer he exclaims.
Doubt begins to invade the critics
mind. and when one or two more en-
thusiastc amateurs have visited him
he is worked up to writing column
of panegyric on the new master. The
amateurs are, of course, sent by the
dealer.
One or two articles and the boom is
in full swing. Wealthy and simple
minded collectors, remembering how
other painters have been decried in
their early days and how their works
later have commanded fancy prices,
rush In.
The new master makes about 10 per
cent of the profit and the dealer the
other 90 per cent. The new master is
at the mercy of the dealer. If he
grumbles the dealer floods the auction
rooms with hundred or so of his
and orders his agents not
to bid, the result being that the can
vases sell at rubbish prices, and the
boom Is burst.-Gil Bias.
