Why Oanadians are Not Able to Stand the Coid.

Mr. Alexander McKenzie, of Scotland, who spent several months in Canada last fall, writes to the Aberdean Free Press, yiving what he believes to be the reason that Canadians cannot stand as much cold as Scotchmen, for instance. Mr. McKen- zie’s letter is dated from Niagara, Nov. 27th, and we quote :—

‘*T had already experienced some indica- tions of an approaching Canadian winter, the glass having one day been been down at zero ; but I did not feel near so cold as on an ordinary winter day at home. I walked about with an overcoat quite comfortably, at the same time that my Canadian friends wrapped them- selves up to the ears in thick winter clothing and furs. I could not un- derstand this, and 1 expressed my surprise that people, whoin one would expect to have been thoroughly hardened to it,should feel the cold more than I did. I was told if 1 remained for a second winter in the country, that 1 would feel the severity of the winter as much as they did; that the heat of the summer made one much less able to staud the winter cold; that the blood became thinner; and that ene was mach less able to resist the cold the second winter than during the first on Canadian soil. There was some force in the heat argument, but it did not altogether satisfy me. lam, however, perfectly convinced that I have discovered the canse of the non-resisting powers of the Canadian generally against the winter cold, in comparison with a new arrival. The first thing that meets you on yeur entrance into @ne of their houses is a reeking stove in the lobby, im- mediately inside the frent door, and op- posite the doors of the principal rooms. In mest cases pipes from this stove pass up stairs and through all the bedrooms in the house, wile generally the sitting- reoms have independent stoves of their own, in* addition, ~in~ sche cases, to ordinary fire-places such as ‘Te have at home. Yon are, consequently, living in an oven. Shops offices are the same, and the railway carriages I found in many instances almost unbear- able— positively suffiocating. On these cars there is a stove in each end, and often steam pipes running along at the sides, making it a sumptuosly-seated bake-house, in which you are almost stewed. You put off your overcoat in spite ef you. You per- spire, and the pores of your skin are open- ed wide to receive the cold into them when you get out into the bitter but bracing coid at your journey’s end. This is what thins the Canadian blood. This is what takes away the cold-resisting power of the new immigrant ; and this is the cause of the pretty common pulmouary disorders to which many of the Canadians become the victims.

Mr. A. Birch, of the town of Hunting- don, Quebec, is in town with a novelty in the way of combination snow-shoes, ice: boat, sleigh and teboggan. The inventor proposes to exhibit it to the Goveraor- General. A practical use was made of the invention yesterday by Mr. Birch in travei- ling 52 miles in one day from the Nation River, taking advantage of the ice boat at intervals. The whole journey from Hun- tington was ,made eu fi20t, and on the ice- boat when favorable.

He says Sitting Bull and his war- riors would return to A:nerican soil if given possession, but they have no thought of creating trouble while in Canadian territory. Mr. Campbell confirms the report of the ‘sufferings of the Blackfeet, but still they

show no turbulent or relgellious spirit.

The National Policy.

——

That staunch ek Reformer, Mr. Billa Flint, whose principles mean something better than merely hanging on to the coat- tuils of leaders, because they choose to call theraselves Liberals, devoted his New Year's Day to the preparation of the follow- ing communication for the Belleville Zutel- ligencer :—

Mr. Eprron,—Walking down Front street afew days ago, I fell in with two farmers. One had anew pair of boots,extra made by hand, for whieh he paid $4.50. The other remarked that they were dear at that price. The answer was, ‘‘Leather has gone up because hides are so dear.” In answer he was teld “it was the effect of the N. P.; it makes you pay more for your boots.” I could not help but smile. Here was a farmer railing ont against the N. P., because another farmer had paid (as he thought) 25 or 50 cents more for*a good pair of hand made boots than formerly, yet he would take double the price for his beef hides, pocket the money, and think nothing about the bearing of the N. P., because he was the gainer thereby. It is all very well to get double price for beef hides and thereby put $4 per 100 Ibs, in his pocket. but to pay the shoemaker 50 cents or ever: 25 cents extra on a pair of boots was ousrageous, and showed how hard the N. P. was en the farmer.

This N. P. must be a most dangerous thing. Did it not cause the loss ef a ship- load of tea coming from China? and did it not raise the price of tea in England and the States some 6 or 8 cents per lb? and that raised the price in Canada. Did not the N. P. cause the sugar crop to fall short, and thereby raise the price of sugar? How are the people to stand the rise in price ? If it had not been for the N. P. we would not have been bothered with sugar refiner- ies in Canada te give us pure sugars. We would have had our sugars from New York er Boston, and have had the privilege of eating 40 per cent. of glucose adulteration to get 60 per cent. of sugar, besides a great many other things well adulterated, which could be named.

Then again the N. P. is to be blamed for the large harvest. Did it not cause the fields to yield an abundant increase ? Yes, but the price of hay is too low. If the N. P. had not allowed so much to grow, it weuld- have breught better prices. Here again the farmers have cause to find fault. Then just look at the low price of barley. Was it not the N. P. that brought about the ring with Belleville grain bnyers, whereby the farmers were shaved out of several cents per bushel not only on their barley, but rye? Then again, the N. P. has caused bad harvests in England and Ireland, in order* to cause a rise in wheat and flour here; so as to make the poor man, the mechanic, the merchant and lumbermen pay more for their bread, and as a set off against which the farmer has to nay extra for his tea, sugar, &c. Now, sir, have we not all cause for complaint against the N. P., and the promoters thereof! It must be all Mr. Tilley’s fault, but what are we to do?

Then, with all the evils the N. P. is bringing on the people, we find that with- out the consent of the Globe and other pa- vers ef that class the Finance Minister dar- ed te go through the country and examine the various manufacturing and other indus- tries which Sir Richard would think be- neath the dignity of a Cabinet Minister. And all this done by ifr. Tilley to obtain information for his new budget speech to come off next February in Ottawa, as also to tryand make the people believe the country is prosperous under Sir John A.’s rule. But wait a bit tili Mr. Blake gets hold of them, and then we shall see what we shall sce. What will become of the N, P. then? Is it not a very wicked thiag, aud ought it not co be labelled ** poison 7’ Oh! these men; won't they be the des- truction of our Dominion ?

When the Ministers were in Belleville, they visited the new establishment of. Mr. G. 8S. Tickell. That it tickled Mr. Tickell to such a degree that, good Reformer as he is, yet he feels well pleased with the visit and more so with the N. P., which is help- ing his business against ‘* Yankee competi- tion,’ and ne doubt, if necessary, would vote to maintain the principle. Still there are plenty of persons who believe the N. P. is ‘‘ the wickedest thing in the world.”

I once read of alittle boy who ran in from the garden and said, ‘‘ Mother, I have found the wickedest thing in the world, I am sure [ have, de come and see it ; it must be a Presbyterian.” The mother went to see, and found it to be what is called a **1 000 legged worm.” The boy had heard his parents say that ‘‘ Presbyterians were the wickedest things in the world,” and he felt quite sure he had found one of them. So with the opponents of the N. P. If the price goes up, it is the doing of the N. P. If the price goes down it is the fault of the N. P.;and so the N. P. must be the ‘‘wickedest thing in the world.” Alas, alas! whatis to become of Canada if the present Government retains power for four years more! Please, Mr. Tilley, don’t ge about the country any more, or you will riin the prospects of the grumblers, and destroy all their hopes ef obtaining power.

Yours, &o., Ke.
