A TRADl_'l`ION fDES'l`ROYED
tu Ngw York City the "Uptown Movement" coin-
menced about fifteen years ago. The impulse Northward seized upon many a business house; and lt influenced,with special strength, the big retail merchants. Those who held long leases so far down-town as Fourteenth street began to have visions of slow decay, of ruin lt seemed as though
the "law of population" had decreed that the business cen- tre had shifted; and that no big stores could hope to exist unless it followed the current which had so strongly set lu.
One merchant was asked by a friend Why he had run
away from Fourteenth street, the old shopping whiff- H9 replied: "For the same reason that the l’nion soldier ran away at the battle of Bull Run-those who did not are there yet."
While this "Up-town .\lovt-ment" was at its height.
John Wanumaker decided. to start a store in New York. }Ie didn't select a' location _up toward Fourteenth street - he went down to Eighth street, and took over the old Ste- wart store, which was earning very large deficits at the time. Gotham merchants concluded that Wanamaker had lost his cunning-that he had attempted a miracle in ati nge where miracles were not commonly enacted.
But the Philadelphia merchant had not blundcred-
not very badly. lie at once took his place as the leading advertiser of New York. and what had been a deserted place of business soon became one of thc busiest stores on earth.
Eighth street anti Broadway became one of the shop-
ping centres of .\'ew York.
Newspaper advertising-probably the fullest and best
newspaper advertising ever given in the st»orc-destroyed the tradition. reclaimed tt whole business section from dull- ness, and has made it necessary for Wanamaker to double his store~capacity.
A store, advertised as effectively as is this store in
question, would prosper IN ANY PART OP THE CITY.
The merchant who feels that he is handicapped in his
location should know by heart this plain story of Wuha- maker and his New York store: and learn that L0(`ATl0.\' is but one of the things to 'oc cotzsideretl in the making of a great enterprise -and that the right kind and A.\iOl'Z\"l` of ncwr.paper fnl\'crli:siilt.', will make ANY l.Of‘.-‘lTlO.\' what- ever seem to he the best one `n thc city.

AUSTliALlA’S NEW TARIFF
The new Australian tariff increases the preference
given to goods of British mantlfacture. that is, goods man- ufactured in the l'nited Kingdoni. South Africa gets a small preference. .\'o preference is given to (‘anntiian floods.
The Sydney torrespondcnt of the London Economist
says “to some extent the preference in favor ot' British goods is illusory," for "it is usually accompanied by a stiff duty on the ilrlllsh article." The Legislature has said in effect: "We shall encourage our own people to make the goods if they can, and, if they cannot, then we shall take British goods in preference to those ol' foreigners and igetln some revenue ln the process."
The truth -is Australia is now pretty .strongly protec-
tionist. Years ago, before Federation, New South Wales had a low tariff and the Cobdeu Club asserted and no doubt believed that she was in consequence altogether outstrip- plng Victoria, which had a tolcrably high one. The present is the fourth tariff since Fetleration. The first was distinct- ly_protectlve, the second more so, the third still further raised the duties, while giving a preference to British wares; the fourth just adopted imposes heavier duties on some articles than those heretofore levied. but is also so framed as to be a revcnue~getter. At this moment Aus- tralia is in sorc need ol' additional revenue. Times are hard, the last crop was short. the States have been spend- ing money with both hands, the Corumonwealth or Federal Government has been almost equally extravagant, and no more loans can be obtained in England except for war purposes, or unless the Treasury officials in London and the committee recently appointed by Mr. Lloyd George to assist them can be persuaded that they are called for by very special clrcumstaiiccs. The new tariff dot-,g not add tn the iron and steel duties, but the Government intends to continue the bounties. Critics not too friendly to the powerful Labor party in Australia say the tariff-makers had a keen eye to the welfare of tlte workingman. He is
`u great lea-drinker, hilt no tux is put on it for revenue pur-
So far ar; can be uscertlned no one in authority was
asked the reason why Canada did not receive a preference. Sir George Foster was well received there, and, needless to say. stated ollr msc in admirable fashion. One explana- tion ls tllat the Australians and New Zealanders seem to .think we have not been generous enough In subsidizing stoamship lines from Vuricouver. and are not disposed to en- courage the importation of their butter," meats and wines to (‘nnndn; but this is not ofllcinl. ~

_ HIREllMAN’S VIEW _
in a recent issue we referred to the "unemployment
problem," remarking, onthe authority of a Toronto_ ex- change. that of two hundred men looking for work and accepting charity because they could limi no work, not one would accept thc offer of o farmer \vho had come into the city in scotch of farm labourers. '
ln a later issue of the same exchange we flnd a letter
from a “Formerly lilred Man.” giving “the real reason why men refuse to work for farmers." We quote a few extracts to show the view from the other sldez-
_"_What does _working _for a farmer' moan? It moans

Arrives -in town about 9.30. Home about 12. Loses sleep. but cannot make up for it unless for an hour after dinner on'Sunday. If the farmers would only let their men off on Saturdays at 6 o’cloch sharp and one Sunday in the month and pay them, say, three dollars a week, life on a farm would be muohmore endurable."
The picture painted by this “hired man " certainly does
not suggest the delights of rural life as they are sometimes portrayed ln the newspapers and the guidebooks.
This outspoken “hired man" contrasts with the farm
helper the man who becomes a helper in the city. who works eight to ten hours a. day, receives his regular weekly wage and eventually 'settles down ln a comfortable home of his own.
While, evidently. the writer of the above letter struck
some hard experiences. it cannot be denied that on very many farms there is a lack of system and a good deal of unnecessary drudgery with very little breathing space between. While it must not be assumed that the farmer has a monopoly of all the hard work. and that there is no drudgery in city employment. it must be admitted that the want of a proper system of working hours and the want. also, of an occasional let up, for necessary recreation, or
town." is one of the great barriers in the way of securing efficient farm help in this province as well as in Ontario. There is no more pressing necessity for hurry and rush on the farm than in the factory, the warehouse. the store nr the office. Iielp ln ull of these are usually lust as hard worked as the help on thc farm, but with tho tlitferencn that the former have their regular hours. Could not the farmers adopt the ten-hour system just as well as those others, who have as much. often more. capital at stake and as much. often more, work to do and to whom time is just as valuable as to the farmer?
lu this age of “ patriotism and production" and “ for-
ward movement." would lt not be well for the farmers to endeavour to overcome their greatest dliiiculty-the secur- ing of efficient help-by adopting as fur as possible a system of regular hours? Many farmers in this province have adopted the ten-hour day and have found it profitable and satisfactory. Time was, even in this well regulated province, when the stores and workshops were kept open as long as cnstomerschose to come ln. but the custom was gradually' superseded by the regular system now followed ot' opening and closing at regular hours. and it has proved successful. Eventually, we have no doubt, this system will be followed on all well regulated farms, and when it is
there will be less trouble in securing efficient help.

One of the French war correspondents. dcsparing of
getting any real news, endeavoured to get by with an arti- cle describing the headquarters of one of the Russian grand dukes. He wrote, among other things: "And over the desk ln his hlgl1ness‘s tent is a large photograph of Marie |a‘ Jumbe, the beautiful dancer." Before this article could an- pear, however, the censor changed that sentence to: "And over the desk in his highness's tent is a large map
of the theatre of war."
Poulteney Bigelow‘s warnings to h is fellow-Americans.
following that ot' Rudyard Kipling, to the effect that, should Germany win the present war, they will have to reckon with her next, is the more significant as coming from the man who, for many years, was the favourite "pal" of that now much execrated monarch. Kaiser Wilhelm Ii. The fut- ure sovcrcign and the young democrat, whose fatacr was one of the most distinguished Ambassadors in .-\nierica's -liplomatic history, met at Bonn University, whence Bige- lo\v went after being graduated from Yule and there struck up a friendship which lasted until a comparatively recent date, when something that Bigelow said. or wrote, put up
ney Blgelow's nephews are joining our arms-a very prac- tical way of showing that, in their opinion, we have our quarrel just. _ ' , _
The Patriot questions the accuracy ot' the remarks we
attributed to Sir Wilfrid Laurier on the Naval Volunteer Scheme. They are absolutely correct. Sir Wilfrid has t1 dangerous facility in the qualification of his so-called patriotic utterances. For instance, in the much quoted sen- timent about Britain and Canada being at war, he added tt qualification which deprived it of merit. ills statement reatltl: "When England is ot war we are at war; but it does not follow that because we are at war, we are actually in the conflict." Does it not? Well, Canada has proved that Sir Wllfrfd’s reservation ls. to say the least of it, sin- gularly unpopular. When Brltulh is at war we are in the conflict-except on the sea, and that of course is entirely the fault of Sir Wilfrid. Notwithstanding that the Niobe and Rainbow are in commission they are not ln the con- flict and could not possibly be because they are antiquated and unreliable, only fit to potter about in peaceful waters.

That one trouble never comes alone has been well ex-
emplified ln the case of tlie‘,much-tallred~of steamer Dacia. The steamer, one of the interned German ships. was pur- chased by n German American, named‘Breltung, and load- ed with cotton for Germany. Great Britain intimated that as soon as the Dacia would put to sea she would be taken charge of by British worships and escorted to a British port. 'As a result the Dacia is still in a United Stafes port with her valuablecargostlli on board. The wealthy Mr. Breltung has n pretty daughter, also an automobile or two and also a chauffeur. Now, from time lmmemorlal, there has been a sort of affinity between some chauffeurs and some pretty daughters. and Miss Breltung and this chauf- feur, whose name is Max Frederick Klelst-called Max for short-developed the affinity in the course of n nulnber of Joy rides. and the inevitable happened. they sloped.
