It is stated that Russia can now put into the field about half a million more men than either Germany or France. In the event of hostilities, France will probably be Russia's ally and Germany will be between the two fires, and compelied to guard both her eastern and western frontiers. Hence the alarm of the German government.

In al! Europe there are now about thir- teen millions of men enrvlled. When the new military laws are in full operation, this number will be increased to about twenty- two millions. In addition tothe immense war preparations of Russia, Germany and France, Italy has increased its army from five hundred thousand in 1869 to two mil- lion two hundred thousand under the new conditions and Austria-Hungary follows with s total of one million nine hundred

Our Trade Policy.

Mx. Erxastos Wiman has isued a pamph- jet in which he declares that if the recent verdict in the States means anything, ‘it means for the United States an era of free raw material and cheapened food products,” From this premiss, Mr. Wiman proceeds to argue that Canada must adopt his policy of Unrestricted Reciprocity. There must, he says, be ‘* a perfect and free exchange ” be- tween the two countries, It readily be seen that this conclusion does not follow

will

in logical sequence. Granted that a major- ity of the people of the States have waked up to the fact that ‘free raw materials ” and ‘free breadstuffs ” they want, it is not therefore incumbent upon Canada to place her infant industries com- pletely at the mercy of the combinesters of the United States. The States have acted in the promotion of their own inter- ests, independently of Canada ; and Canada may, and will act, in the defence of her in- tereats, independently of the States.

are what

The experience of recent years seems to indicate that Canada has much to gain by cultivating the British mrket, and if there is to be a change in the tariff, public opin- ion in Canada will support a reduction of duties favoring the manufactured in Great Britain. the adoption of Mr. Wiman’s trade will be confined, almost the States! There is no desire, no neces- sity, for this. If the United States have decided to admit our raw materials and breadstufls free of duty, we shall, in any case, profit by an increased trade with ,the States. Our duty now is to shape our pol- icy so as to obtain, in addition, an increase of trade with Great Britain and other countries.

The Situation in Great Britain.

Tue farmers of Great Britain are suffer- ing on account of foreigr competition in

their free markets; the manufacturers of Great Britain are suffering because foreign markets are closed against them,—this is “the situation.” Altogether, the Mother Country is in a bad way. It is admitted by all that Free Trade, or at least ‘* lap-sided” or jug handled Free Trade —is not a pane cea for all the commercial and economic ills to which a nation is liable. The people now asking them- is for

selves, what next The problem them a very complicated and difficult one. At a Farmers’ Convention held a few days ago, a resolution was passed in which ** protection,” proportionate to the amount of their rates and taxes, was demanded. But the manufacturers, and all the millions dependent upon them, fear an increase in bread-stuffs. It would not be surprising if the middle way were adopted—if Free Trade were granted to all the colonies in consideration of trade concessions from them, and a tariff of duties enforced ap- plicable to many of the imports from com- mercially hostile foreign nations. Such an arrangement would, under all the circum- stances, probably be best for the Mother Country and best for the colonies. ‘* Free Trade within the Empire—Protection against Foreign nations, having high tariffs'’—this will probably be the next popular cry in Great Britain.

Lonvox, Dee. 12.—Mr. Gladstone has summoned the cabinet to a special meeting to discuss home ruel.

Cuicaco, Dec. 12.—Philip D. Armour has presented to the city of Chicago a magnificent five story building on Armour avenue, just completed, to be known as the Armour institute. In addition to the building, and for its support, Mr. Armour gives $1,400,000. It will be an institute for manual training, ecience and art.

Loxvox, Dee. 12.—The North Atlantic Steamship Association, in view of the American regulations in regard to immi- grants, at an extraordinary meeting to-day,

decided to carry on its vessels only saloon and second-class passengers from Jan. 1, |

next. It was also decided to materially reduce the number of sailings during 1893,

and to raise saloon and second cabin rates in order to make up the loss that will be incurred through abandoning the steerage traffic, All special excursion rates to the Chicago Columbian exposition have been withdrawn by the association, and there is no doubt that this action will result in a large falling offin the number of foreign visitors to the World's Fair.

Wasuineton, Dec. 12.—Commissioner O'Brien, of the navigation bureau, has is- sued a special report on the shipping inter- ests of the United States. Referring to Canadian aggression upon American ship- ping and commercial interests, the commis- sioner recommends that discriminating duties be laid upon all products of Asia and Austra'asia when imported into the United States from Canada, such duties to be so adjusted as to counterbalance the subven- tions, the discriminating duties and hostile railroad legislation which now constitute a successfully devised and effective scheme for diverting American commerce from American seaports and from American transportation lines.

Lonpon. Dec. 12 —Lord Rosebery pre- sided at the banquet of the National Lib- eral Club this evening, held to celebrate the unveiling of the Gladstcne portrait done by the Canadian Artist, Forbes. Hon. Edward Biake, Nationalist M. P. for South Longford, made the speech of presentatiun. It was an eloquent eulogium of the premier. Canadian Liberals re- garded Mr. G'alstone as the foremost of living men Mr. Blake said, and he believed they understood his high aims and clear methods, They themselves knew the blessings of Home Rule and therefore had been most strongly attracted to Mr. Glad- etone by his effurts to sulve the Irish prob- lem. Mr. Blake elicited repeated applause from his hearers and sat down amid a storm of cheers. Lord Rosebery prefaced his reply with fisttering remarks as to Mr. Blake's noble speech, compared with which he said, his own address would ‘‘shine as a farthing rushligh.” Lord Rosebery spoke of the presentation as strictly an imperial event. He had often been taunted with a lack of sympathy with Home Rule. He hoped the feeling developed by Canadian Liberals, in sending the picture would spread so far and wide that the taunt would be deprived of all its malice. He wished to see the bonds uniting the empire drawn more tightly.

WivniprG, Dec, 12.—The government's re- port states most emphatically that no pleuro-

pneumonia has or docs exist in the province. the estimated expenditure on the new farm buildings this year is over one million dollars,

New York, Dec. 12—A despatch from Valparaiso says the newspaper press of Va's paraiso and Santiago contain bitter comments on the return of Minister Egan. They say his coming back after the expose of his char- acter during the late campaiga shows he is devoid of shame. They call upon the govern ment to show him scant courtesy.

The Doctors and the Druggists.

LETTER FROM MR HUGHES.

Srr,—In your issue of yesterday I notice & commuvication from one of the city drug- gists,in which he assumes the right to speak for the druggists of this city, respecting their relations tu the medical men and the public. His apology for the doctors—that they did not mean what they wrote—may please the doctors, but the public know very well that physicians, as « class, mean what they write. How would this apology apply to their prescriptions ? Your corres- pondent says the doctors and druggists held a conference. This isnewstome, I was not invited. Why? Was it because I dared to speak in the interest of the pub- lic? At this friendly conference we are told the doctors consented to allow the druggists to select patent medicines and ordinary remedies for their customers. Is it not well, Mr. Editor, that the Medical Act does not vest the full control of the drug business in the hands of the medical mon? We are told by your correspondent that there is no new contract or obligation whatever between the druggists and phy- sicians. Thanks to whomj? Yours, Grorce E. Hugues,

Apotl e:arfos Hall.

Notes

— Some of the boys, and some of the girls, too, were greatly disappointed this merning, when they saw that the pond had not been flooded according to the pro- mise made in the City Council. Corpora- tions, they ssy, have no souls.

—The exceeding severity of the present winter throughout the German E:mpire has caused untold misery among the working classes. Commerce is almost stagnant, and several large factories in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and Munich have been compelled either to shut down completely or to reduce the number of hands. In Berlin alone there are 30,000 unemployed. The government is perplexed at the grave aspect of affairs, which it cannot remedy by the mere enact- ment of laws and statutes,

— We have been asked to publish the enclosed extract of a letter from the R-v. T. W. Cunliffe, of Fort Kelly, Assiniboia,

, and thus give those interested in the North-

west }Missions, an idea of what is going on there :—

“There is a great need of all kinds of clothing for our poor Indian missions, as we have work going on in several of the Reserves. * * * Perhaps some of my work might interest you. Batch, that is the local term for doing everything for oneself; and as I am single, I find the house-keeping part, rather troublesome. Then, I teach sabes! during the week; and then there is my Sunday School work to do, and to get ready for ali, taken together, is no light work to do single handed. I[ had a lay reader with me until recently, but he has gone to work in another part of the diocese, and I miss him very much, as it is such a solitary life to be here all alone. Still it has its bright side; and the boys frequently come to see me and help mc; and I am very fond of boys; so it is not so very bad after all. Oue little boy comes every day to fetch water, carry wood, &. * * * I received a very small pair of shoes for a baby among some things which were sent me, and I gave them to my in‘erpreter’s wite, who has a little daughter a few montha old, and the wonder and the exclamations of surprice were most amusing when they carne to the shoes, 8s it was the first time they had seen such a little pair. We havea neat little log church which has just been lathed and plaster om -* ° We managed to get it done without going into debt; and as my people are too poor to give money (in fact, money they never have) they hauled the lime, stones, wood and burnt the lime, and gave this as their portiea of the work. Lhey are very reverent io church-- their conduct would put a good many white congregations to shame.”
