THINKS IMMIGRATION IS IN AIR
Writer'S Explanation of Vital Differ
ence Between the Londoner
and the New Yorker.

THE difference between New
York and London" a man once said
to me, sis this: In New York. if you
have a new idea, you can get IT car
ried out at once: in London, If you
have a new idea. you are up against
a brick wall"
believe this to be true, writes
Maurice Barring in the Metropolitan.
People in New York. and in America
in general. are not afraid of new
ideas. nor, indeed. of anything new.
They are not afraid of the future. In
England. If a man finds, for instance.
that his profession is uncon genial to
him, however certain he may be of
the impossibility of his making a sue
cess of it, he will none the less very
rarely give 1t up. and try his hand
at something else. The future alarms
him. In America q mar will think
nothing of throwing up his Profession
twenty times running. until he finds
something which. does suit lin.
| think the cause of this particular
difference lies in the climate of Amer
lea, ana especially lies III III CliHldle
of New York. Just as the climate OF
some places fills the whole system
with an invincible desire to do moth
ing, with an insuperagle languor and
sloth, in the same way the climate
of New York fills the body md mind
with the desire to be up aid about
II is the nimble air which produces
the nimble wits; the stimulating at
mosphere which creates, in the deni-
zen of New York, the love of hustle,
hurry competition and work. | am
not saying this is either a good thing
or a bad thing-I am merely noting
and recording what struck me as be
ing the main differences between New
York and London.

Costly Ivory Mats.

There are but three mats of ivory
In existence? The largest n meas
ures eight lset by four feet. and, al
though made ia The north OF India, has
a Greek design for a border. 1t is used
only on state occasions. like the sign.
ing of important state documents.
The cost Of this precious mat was al.
most incalculable, for more than
$500 pounds of pure ivory was used
in its construction. Only the finest
and most flexible strips of material
could be used, and the mat is like the
finest woven fabric.

CANADA APPRECIATES THE GIFT

Amid the growing chorus of disap-
the very real fears that its worst is
not yet known, it is comforting TO
hear some praise of it:
cit is conceded that the great re-
duction in the United States tariff
will be of much benefit to the form
ers, lumbermen and lime manufac-
turers of New Brunswick. The first
important result is reported from
Carleton county, which ships large
quantities of potatoes. Shipment of
20 carloads of potatoes was made to
New York Immediately after the new
tariff went into effect and the price
jumped to $1.20 per barrel to the
armer where less than a week be-
fore only 20 to rs cents were offered.
"Another evidence of the benefit to
be derived was shown in an immediate
increase in the quantity of freight of
fered for the steamers from st. Johns
to Boston,
The quotations are from a statement
issued from the st. John board of
trade bulletin. They show that Can
ada, for one, appreciates the gift of
the American markets. 1t is also in
dicated that the promised low prices
are not yet in sight.-Attleboro
(Mass.) Sun.

WHAT THE SLUMP IN CORN
MEANS

An analysis of tariff statistics which
purport to show the amount of "sav-
ing in duties by transfer of certain
foodstuffs to the free INST and reduc-
tons in rates ON similar articles may
not afford a sound basis for determin-
ing the per capita reduction in the cost
Of living under the Underwood tariff.
If, when put into full operation, the
new food schedule effects a saving of
merely &c cents for each person in the
Unit d States the strenuous efforts
put forth by congress to lessen the
burden of the consumer would fall
comieally wide of the mark.
A tabulated statement that is Civ
en- wide currency would make it APP
pear that the ~"saving of duties' I'M
der the new tariff as it went into. eff
feet amounts to $13,409, 465 a year,
or 13 cents per capita. Such a deduc-
ton could hardly he more misleading.
The sun said to have been saved
to the consumer really represents
nothing more than the treasury's loss
in customs revenue resulting from
the lower duties, and therefore its
bearing on the question of the law
benefting the consumer is ineonsider-
able. The treasury is recouped by the
substitution of the income tax for
duties heretofore levied on imports.
Accordingly, the treasury's loss is
shifted, for the most part, upon the
well-to-do class of consumers.
The effect of the new tarnf ON the
price of our own products is the thing
that tells the true story of what it
does for the consumers in general. For
illustration, take corn, where a big
storage makes a striking comparison.
Chicago grain dealers attribute the
very recent decline o ID cents a bush
ell to the new tariff, which wiped out
the prohibitive Iuty of Is cents a
bushel. A 10-eent decline affects the
value of a crop approximately 1880,
100000 bushels to the extent of 1926
100000, and not a paltry SS,00s, as set
down in the analysis in question. The
drop at Chicago had for its imme-
rate cause the purchase by American
shippers of 10, 900 900 bushels of the
cheaper Argentine corn. Thus, it may
be reasoned that the new tariff has re
duced the price of corn, but this is not
vesy consohng thought to the farm
ers.
Wheat, barley, oats, potatoes and
other staples which advanced in sym
pathy with corn when the famine cry
went up nave declined in like ratio,
so that, as a matter of fact, the saving
to the can be safely esti-
mated at upwards of half a billion
dollars, exclusive of hundreds f re-
auctions in other schedules. The eff
feet, if not the object, of making it
appear that, after all, the tariff leaves
prices practically intact, cannot be
pleasing to those who labored to bring
about the new deal. They could well
desire to have their achievements in
lowering American prices analysed by
experts who have a better perspective
of cause and effect.-Washinton Post.

A traveller who believed himself tc
be sole survivor of a shipwreck upol
a cannibal isle hid for three days il
terror of his life. Driven out by hun,
ger, he discovered a thin wisp OF
smoke rising from a clump of bushes
inland, and crawled carefully to study
the type of savages about it. Just as
he reached the clump he heard a voice
say: why in - did you play that
card?" He dropped OF his knees and,
devoutly raising his hands, cried:

HuERTA rs UPHELD BY q
RETURNED MISSIONARY

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 28.-Defense
OF Provisional President Huert's adj
m~inistration In Mexico and denial that
the Mexican executive had q share in
the murder OF former President Ma
dero and Vice President Suarez, was
made by Rev. John Rowland. OF Quad
alaJara, q missionary In an address be-
fore the annual convention of the
board of commissioner for foreign
missions held in connection with the
national council of the Congregational
churches here today. He also paid
Diaz.
HE made a nation and DESTROYED
q people," he said.
DIR. Rowland has lived for 81
years In Mexico as head of the Cof-
legio International at GuadaIajara.
The widespread idea that General
Huerta seized the presidency" said he,
"or that he came in through the door
OF assassination Is entirely incorrect.
His acceptance OF the provisional pres
idency precluded his being a candidate
in the present election and his govern
ment was established and both official
ly n popularity accepted days before
the death of President Madero. Huerta
had nothing to gain by the death Of
Madero. President Madero left the
treasury bankrupt and revenues were
immensely reduced by the closing of
most of the ports of entry, the inter-
ruption OF traffic and general disturb
ance. 81 q.
The hostile attitude of American
authorities against General Euerta
caused the bankers who had arranged
a large loan to DELAY the promised pay-
ments and this has greatly impedad
the pacifcation of the country. Mex
leo should be left alone. It is well able
to take are OF itself"
The American board of commission
ers for foreign missions carries on the
foreign missionary work for the Con-
gregational denomination. 1t Is the
Oldest missionary board In America,
having been founded 1913 years ago.
