What is Work?
The statement of a few slight circum- stances of recent occurrence may serve to illustrate a phase of business life amongst us, and may assist in clearing up some wrong hotions about work.
It is not many days since a dapper young man of our acquaintance came in to tell a tale of hardship: he could not get work—, he had tried everywhere, e. g., railway offices, the telegraph people, newspaper othices, law chambers, merchants’ counting houses. Upon being asked what kind of work he sought, he replied, ‘* Oh, book- keeping, correspondence or copying.” And in all the places you visited was there no ofier of work of any kind?’ we ventured to ask, and the reply was; ‘‘One man very civilly said I might start out to see if I could sell, on commission, some of his lit- tle trinkets about the town. I thanked him, but you know, sir, I can’t go touting all about the place selling things, it’s dis- gusting.”
It hardly needs be said that this was a man just from the Old Country. He had been brought up to run in a groove, being intelligent, steady and civil, could doubtless run well. But he had not re- alized that in a new country a man must often turn his hand to many sorts of work if he would get on. And he was unfeignedly surprised to be told that he ought to have accepted the civil man’s offer of employ- ment, und tried his hand at ‘touting;’ part- ly for the reason that’ his willingness and
adaptability might have induced the man to give hima chance at something else. As to selling things by sample being ‘dis-
gusting’ that is a matter of taste, but some good and very successful men have done this very thing for years —tho’ not loving it—and have made it a ‘‘stepping-stone” to higher things.”
But to the second of our illustrations. A lad of eighteen had the good fortune to obtain, last year, a position in a wholesale | house. work for nothing at first “‘just to get a foothold,” as he said, and was generally in a condition of youthful delight over his new life and his prospects for the future. A change has come over the spirit of his dream, whether from restlessness of youth or the prevailing discontent of the time. He writes : ‘I don’t seem to get on here. They pay us wretchedly. I have been here now six months at the same thing. Don't you think I ought to get a promotion 7”
This young man’s hours are from nine till ive, and out of these he has an hour for dinner. His duties are not exhaustive in any sense. Yet he thinks he is hard- worked, and would be astonished to be told that some of the leading merchants of to- day went through years of apprenticeship | with longer hours and harder work than! his, for scantier pay. It drilling and discipline of those years which helped to make them the successful busi- ness men they are.
‘**It is not my business to carry goods,’ said a hand employed in the manufacturing department of a large concern, when the proprietor desired him to carry a parcel, | and carry it he would not. ‘‘It is not our, business to fix stove-pipes,” was the re-/} sponse, in our hearing, of a plumber who} had been sent for to put hot-water coils, into a kitchen stove, and was asked to pull’ the smoke-pipe two inches out of the chim- | ney and so prevent its smoking. Pull out the pipe he would not, but waited for an- other man to do so. ‘It is not- my busi-/ ness to work without proper tools,” says an engineer in a city office, who was asked to! make shift for a day without some peculiar | sort of wrench, and to use another tool in- stead. And he indignantly discharges him- ; self on the spot, and takes the chance of | being idle for the winier.
False pride and a mistaken notion of what constitutes one’s right, occasion much ! misery. An imperfect recognition of the! dignity and necessity of work places many j a man, otherwise sensible, in a false and unfortunate condition.
—a- he Sugar Question.
| of
The Mail notes that ‘‘sixteen pounds of granulated sugar can be bought for a dol- lar to-day, whereas under the Cartwright tariff, which was so arranged as to make necessities dear and employment scarce, only eight pounds could be got for a dollar. There is thus a saving of fifty per cent. in the price under protection. At the same time the artisans who live by sugar refin- ing have to-day work they could not get under the old system, which, besides starv- ing them, gave high-priced sugar to the consumers. As an argument in favor of returning to the free trade system prices in England are quoted. Itis true that sugar is cheaper in England than in Canada to- day. Reform journals will please abstain from quoting this remark, unless they print also the following explanation of the rea- son. Sugar is cheaper in England because foreign Governments pay to their own manufacturers a bounty for every pound of
sugar they sell to England. Sugar is cheaper in England for the further reason _ that England does not raise a revenue by taxing that com- modity. England taxes tea and coffee instead. We tax the raw suyar, and admit tea and coffee free of duty. A third

The schooners Cardigan, Hingley, mas ter, and L. & S8.. Nickerson, master, left Cardigan Bridge on Sept. 7 imst., within one hour of each other. Both vesse'’s oye bound for St. Pierre and an exciting race is expected.

Men aboard the schooneis were rushing work to see which would first yet away, and when the L. & 8. happened to run aground when getting under way, the excitement rose to fever heat. A boat was quickly launched and a line run to the Bridge. To it some thirty or forty Stal- wart Islanders bent their weight and with a good pull, altogether, they hauled the schooner off and gave her a chance to com- pete with the Cardigan, which was, by this time, well out to Boughton Island, But Capt. Nickerson is bound not to be ‘beaten:

The Three Rivers Dairyman’s Associa- tion resume their meetings on Tuesday, the 14th Sept. inst., at the New Perth school house, at 7.30 o'clock, p. m. The short crop of milk this season, no doubt, will stimulate the farmers to greater activity in discussing the different questions im con- nection with dairying. We congraiuiate the farmers of Three Rivers on having an Association of this kind, and hope that many other sections will at once tike steps to organize similar societies, so that a good long season cap be devoted to meetings.

England’s new colonial acquisition, the Ellice islands in the South Pacific, will prove of value principally as a naval sta- tion. The population of the islands is not important in numbers, scarcely aggreyat- ing 9,000, but the people are physically and mentally among the finest specimens of the Malayan race. The islands will be of strategical value to Great Britain in resist- iny attempts at further annexations by rival European powers.
Those who believe that a great European war will follow the death of the Emperor Wil- liam find additional ground for their belief in the activity which the great Powers are displaying in the re-armament of their troops.

Not long ago a sensation was caused by a celebration at the Spandau armory over the completion of
