must be straitened may become yet more
straitened, if statesmen are not wise enough ta perceive and courageous enough to pur- sue the path of wisdom. The responsibility upow them will be great if, through any fault of omission or commission on their part, they fail to remove all the obstacles that can be removed to the restoration of a healthful industrial life among nations.”
The Halifax Herald thinks ‘‘ it is evident that the Times does not agree with Mr.
a Cartwright in thinking that a Government
is only a ‘fly on a wheel,’ and incapable of improving the condition of the country.” It is also, evident, we think, that however wnpropitious the time for borrowing money, the British public are now in a proper frame of mind to consider a commercial union be- tween the Mother Country and her Col- onies. ee: Le a
The French Language in Canada.
(From the Montreal Witness.)
Mr. E. Lareau, in his Histoire de la Lit- terature Canadienne, entertains the belief that a brilliant future is in store for the French language on this Continent. He does not appear to share the opinion of many that from the force of circumstances the French language must recede rather than expand, and that it is destined to ulti- mate extinction. Mr. Lareau’s able work itself certainly affords strong evidence of the great vitality of the French language, and of tis expansive power. Many persons would be surprised in reading his work to learn the extent and variety which French literature has reached in this country. He gives the names of over three hundred French-Canadian authors alone whose writings embrace poctry, history, romance, science and jurisprudence. Many of these works, particularly on the three subjects first named, are of incontestable merit. We believe it will be conceded by all well- informed English Canadians that our French-speaking fellow-citizens have left us far in the rear, both in the extent and in the merits of their belles-lettres, while Gar- neau’s History of Canada, as it appeared before revision, is unrivalled by any other history of this country in either ‘anguage. Chauveau, De Boucherville, Lajoie, Le- may, Cremaize, Frechette, Buies, Le- moine, Sulte and Faucher de St. Maurice, to say nothing of many able authors among the clergy, for a galaxy of litterateurs in prose and poetry which fcr artistic merit in their respective field find no counterpart among English Canadians. In respect to oratory, also, the bulk of superiority in point of style belongs decid- edly to the French Canadians. Leta good judge listen to the debates in _ the Ontario and Quebec Legislatures, and he will be very soon convinced of this. At Quebec every member who speaksat all speaks well, while several of them are real orators, Or let anyone attend the reunions of the Club National or the Club Cartier in this city, and then attend a meeting of the University Literary Society, for instance, or any other debating society of young English Cana- dians, and he will be forced to the same conclusion. Among the latter fluent speak- ing is the exception, while among _ the for- mer it is almost universal. In most of the essentials of oratory, in fluency, wit ima- gination, verve, French Canadians are pecu- liarly gifted as a people. During a political canvass the cities and large towns furnish young orateurs on Sunday for almost every parish in the Province. But the fact of greatest significance as bearing upon the future of the French language in Canada, is the wonderful faculty with which French- Canadians acquire and speak English. Equally significant is the fact that English- Canadians show a strange distate to the French language, and experience great difficulty in mastering it. Every observer must have been struck with circumstance that in the city of Montreal, where one-half the population is French-Cana- dian, it is as unusual to find an English Canadian speaking French as it. is to find a French-Canadian who does not speak Eng- ligh. The English papers have more French Canadian readers than have the French papers. In the City Council nearly one- half the members are French-Canadian, yet hey all speak English, more or less, in the transaction of business ; while most of the English members cannot speak French at all, and those who can scarcely ever utter a word in that language. In the Canadian Paliament, containing a little more than one-fourth of French-Canadians, the lead- ing men among them nearly all speak Eng- lish fluently, and it is the exception for a Quebec member to speak French in that body. Indeed many French-Canadian mem. bers of Parliament speak English with greater ease than many honorable mem- bers with whom that language is the mother tongue. On the other hand, no instance has occurred in late years, so far as we have heard of an English member formally addressing a House in French. The Bar of Montreal presented the same singular circumstances.

All the leading French lawyers speak Eng- lish, some in a manner that a few of their English confreres might envy, while but two or three of the English lawyers speak French fairly well. Chief Justice Dorion speaks English with a purity and an ele- gance, even which are not surpassed by any of his English brethren on the Bench. The same curious difference in . linguists talent is observable all over the Province. wre = olla
Trade and the Tariff.
The Monetary Times is permitted to pub- lish the following extracts from a private letter froma gentleman occupying a pro- minent position in mereantile circles: ‘‘I cannot help seeing the very unprofitable character of nearly all branches of Canadian trade. The paying capacity of the great body of the consuming community 18 80 much less than it was during the decade 1862-1872, that our merchants have never yet been able to quite believe in it, and prefer to go on, hoping that the hard times would pass away and leave us just as pres- perous as before. They wiil not allow themselves to believe that the prosperity which made Canada rich in the period named arose out of an exceptional state of things in the United States, which we are not likely to see again.
From 1861 to 1872, Canada found a ready and profitable market for everything she produced, lumber, agricultural produce, fish, &c., &., and became rich and pros- perous. This has all changed; the U. S. supply themselves with all these articles, and more than that, they are supplying us with some of them, and are doing their best to take away from our native manu- facturers their home markets for nearly all kinds of goods made in Canada.
I fear too much is expected of the new Government. It would be a mistake to copy the American Tariff, which in some respects needs revision far more than the Canadian, and this is saying a good deal. We need such changes as the changed con dition. of our trading relations with the United States would seem to indicate. The Premier knows well that it is not in the power of any tariff to give us back the days of aciive and profitable demand frem the U, 8. for everything we produced. This demand gave us the means to sustain a large trade, and enabled some of our wholesale dry goods houses to sell as much as $2,000,000 worth of goods ina year. That is gone, and forever, and we must make the best of the position.
The Tariff can be so arranged that American products of all kinds will be practically kept at home, and this country become as free from Yankee goods as it was from 1861 to 1872. The tariff can do that much, but not more, and nothing more should be attempted.” :
Whatever may be the cause, there is no doubt, as appears from statistics regularly published, that in Germany crime has been recently on the increase. In Prussia alone the convictions have risen from 6,403 in 1871 to 12,8027 in 1878. Assassinations, maimings, violence to women, forgeries and fraudulent bankrupteies have all greatly in- creased. Some attribute the fact to the re- sult of the Franco-German war and to the lowered tone of morality which was the na- tural effect of so many disbanded soldiers being dispersed among the population. Those who are unfriendly to France are not slow to point to the intercourse with the inhabitants of that country as being among, the causes, while others, again, lay the blame on the spread of Socialistic doctrines, it is well-known that the civil war in the United States was followed by a marked augmentation of crime with our neighbors, Whether the dissemination of Communism has hada like result there, there has, as yet, been no means of ascertaining. But we do not doubt that the criminal records will before long show such a result. 6 war and Socialism, therefore mainly may be ascribed the increase of crime in Ger- many.

The consumption of lumber m America is enormous, altogether beyond what is generally supposed. The annual demand for ties and sleepers of the 90,000 miles of railway is estimated to be 40,000,000 square feet, and to inclose the roads would require 180,000 miles of fence. There are 75,000 miles of telegraph wire to put up, for which 800,000 trees are needed, whi repairs would need near 300,000 more trees a year. The common lucifer match uses up 300,000 cubic feet of the finest pine annually. The bricks baked every year require 3,000,000 cords of wood, which would be all that 50,000 acres of average timber-land would contain. Shoe pegs exhaust annually 100,000 cords of wood of beech, birch, and maple, and about as much more is required for the stock of planes and other tools.—American Er. ~~ ~— ~-<—>>—— —_
One of the Mennonite settlements in Manatoba is on the west side of Red River midway between Emerson and Winnipeg’ and along the Pembina branch of the C, P’ R. R. These settlements are made on good land on both sides of the river, and they succeed well in raising grain and stock, In reference to stock, they have adopted the system prevalent in Kansas and Nebraska of having no fences, and «of | having a herd law, which keeps the cattle out of mischief by day while at night they are locked up. By so doing the expense e constructing fences in a country where wood is scarce is avoided,
