law abiding people. who are anxious io get on in this new land of their adop- tiou_ Mr. Siitier`s riport reads as fol- lO\\'s :-

~‘l-J-imouton, Albergo, July 25, 1898.

--I have just returned from a tour of inspection through the Galician settle- ment situated in townships 55. 56 and 57. ranges 16, 17. 18 and 19, and beg io submit to you the fillowing report as to their progress. On account of the very bad roads I was not able to go through all the sections where the Gs. ‘icians are settled who came in. May. However. I saw a large number of iliem, and they wire all hard at work, some building houses, others ploughing, Every one that I siw had potatoes planted and other garden vegetables. Some have a. little barley sown, which I think will not ripen before the frost comes. There was_a slight. frost on the night of the 21st, which went in streaks through townships 56 and 57. ranges 16 and 17, and turned the potato leaves brown. butl do not think that it will seriously hurt them. I found also that a number of them who are in poor cir- cumstances have gone out to work and will be able t 1 make enough to support themselves through t-he coming winter. Those who came in a year ago have from two to five acres in crop, besides potatoes, turnips and other vegetables. Their wheat is looking first-class in nearly every case. SJme have also dsx and hemp growing. I found these peo- ple all contcnfci and prosperous. Those who have horses are busy breaking up more land, and those who have none are out at work to earn a horse or cow. Those in the country tivo years havefrom five to fifteen acres in crop, and the grain all looking well. I brought in a sample cf wheat from one of these farms to show Mr Oliver, I think it is the best sample I- have seen in the coun'ry. I :lic brought in a sample of spring wheat sown 'last fall. The heads are not large. but it will iipen two weeks earlier than that sown inthe spring. The above men- tioned griiu is from the farm of' Con- stantine l\'eim°rski, section 22. Town- ship 56, range 18 The Ga`icians who have been in the country four or more years are, in my opinion, doing re- markably well. They have in c.o_n all the way from 20 to 60 acres, and the grain is looking extraordiuarilv well. These are located in Township 56,range 19. They have formed themselves into a school district called Limestone Lake, and l was informed that over 30 children attended this school, that is 30 Galician children. A few English and Norweg- ians are settled among them. I will give you the names of a few in this township, with _what they had when they came here and what they have now. Michael Pullshia had $300, he now his 25 acres of wht at, 30 acres cf oats, seven of rye and two of potatoes. (ln his son’s place, which was taken up this spring. he has eight acre; of oa's and six or barley. lle has sixteen head of cattle, four horses, some pigs and poultry, a waggon, plough and har- rows, a third share in a binder and one-half share in a mower and hay rake and disk narrow, and will give a good bonus for a grist mill, which is wanted very badly in the Limestone Lake district. John Pileopo, on section 22. Township 56, range 19, had about S250 when he came in here. He has to- day 30 acres in wheat. 22 in oats, 5 in rye, 3 in barley. 1 1-2 in peas, and 1 in . potatoes, 'besides other garden vege- tables. He has eight head of caftle, tour horses, a waggou, plough and harrows. and, with his neighbors, a share in a binder, mower and rake and disk carrow. He will also give a bonus for a ir.i.l~l. Ivan Fanyack of the same section carrie to this country with very little. He has now twenty acres in wheat, ten in oats, tive in rye, two in barley, besides vegetables. lie has four or five head' of catt'e, two horses, a waggon, plough and hai-rows, also a share in _a binder, mowers, etc. He will also give abonus for a mill. The ' Galicians in lli’s- district are all con- tented and busy breaking up new land. I might also add that they are building alarge church in township 56, range 18, the structure to be 70 by 26 and will have a tower 770 feet high with a

._ bell. About fifteen men are employed onthe building. 'Their belief is the ' orthodox creed. _, The contract for the construction of 1 the west pier of the entrance to the Welland Canal at Port Dalhousie has been awarded to Mr. :John Riley who built the east pier. Mr. Collingwood Schreiber, Deputy Minister of Railways and Canals. has returned from an in- spection of the Wellaud and St. Law- rence Canals.

Tenders hav een invited for the

called, from one point in Canadato an- other, which must ere long follow. are reforms of a very important character from a financial point- of view. There are not lacking critics who foresee in them an enormous loss of revenue that cannot be made up in. any other way, and which must prove a large drain up- on the public exchequer. lu short, the postal reductions have been criticised as calculated to upset the equilibrium of our finances. Befor/e accepting these points as final, and beyond dispute. there are a few considerations in 1 the problem to which at‘ention might per- haps very well be given, as bearing directly upon it.

The history if postal reductions in

Canada, as in every other country on the face of the earth,;have gone to show that the result was not a permanent falling off in revenue but a steady gain and improvement. There a time in the history of Canada when the letters were not carried so cheaply through the.mai1s as “they are now. For instance, prior to 1851, the Canadian domestic letter rate was eighteen cents per half ounce. In 1751 this was cut down to six cents, areduction of sixty-six and two thirds per cent and the result was that in the fourth year af.er the change the reve- nue had recovercd what little was at first dropped and showed a surplus be- sides. A further reduction took place in Canada in 1868. In the interval the rite had been reduced to tive cents and in that year it was reduced to three cents. The outcome was ; again a sur- pluszinside of three years.. The records also show that with each reduction in a rate the volume of correspondence has gone forward with leaps and bounds, ln :he year,1868, when a. five cent rate was in vogus, the domestic maiil was 18f100.000., In 1869, under a three cent rate, it increased to 921,220,000, a gain of twenty one per cent.

From these figures it may kc seen

that though the 'reduction of thirty- three and a half percent is a large one on bpth British and domestic mails it is not beyond speedy reparation. The bulk of the population in Canada, as elsewhere, pay largely toward the maintenance of our means of direct comiuunication with the rest of the world. Large subsidies are gathered for all the ocean sleamsbip lines and for railway construction. Yet what proportion can ever avail, or hope to avail themselves of the faculties for travel abroad to Britain or to Europe E’ Then may not the mail be regarded as the poor man’s channel of communica. tion with other scenes and friends he can never see. Let the cost of manage- ment ihere be reduced to the minimum and give the experiment a test. Cana- dians will, under the new conditions, enjoy posialfaciliiies probably as favor- able as any nation an the face of the earth-perhaps more so. The experi- ence of the United States is reissuiing.

It was in 1883 that the United States

.reduced its letter rate from three to two cents per half ounse. It was subsequent- ly changed to one ounce and Canada alsolollowed her example by raising the unit of weight. In 1887 the United States revenue had recovered from the double effect of the out in rate and the increase in the unit of weight and show- ed S3,000,000 revenue to the good. lf it were necessary citations could be added from the postal records of Britain. France and other countries where in each case history has simply repeated' herself.

Where the country is one with a rap-

idly growiug population the case is apt to be particularly favorable to the re- duction of postal rates.
