Zoliverein. rid, a Free Trade remarkable article roposal to establish The British Tne New York W Organ, in a somewh: comments upon the between Britain and colonies a trade Zollverein. Our readers will ob- serve that the project is carefully con- her aidered by the writer and shown to be eminently practical. Were such av understanding arrived at, much good would result to all parties concerned, and we have no doubt that the matter will so recommend itself to British and Colonial some day soon into Statesmen as to pass the World's effect. The followi g is article :— ‘© While British exports to the United States in those branches of trode in whieh British capital and British labor are most heavily in- terested, are falling off, the exports of Canada and Australia are increasing in spite of the ‘protection’ with which those colonies have been recently sfllicted. It is proposed, there fore, to form a customs union of the empire, under which the mother country and her col l terms, to the exclu those foreign nations tariffs Ten years ave been regard vision.

In Br.ts) Columbia there are millions of acres of the fiuest pasturage in the world, the grass iu the valley of the Fraser River being ex ceedingly succnient, and the settlement of that Province by the Canadian Pacific Rail : market for England Jl her wants. — Nova S ck send her fish, and Prince Edward Island is even a more fruitful mother of potatoes thaa Ireland. But it is in | le way will open up a catt capable of supplying otia ond New Brunasw the North-West Territeries that the prob- m will be solved. Professor Macoun and other high authorities estimate that’ there are at least 200,0C9 acres in that lone land capable of produciog wheat. At an average of fifteen bushels to the acre this would re- present a crop more than sufficient to feel Europe and America. The Pacific Railway will be completed through this great wheat bels 1884, and tributary .lines are already projected northward. An attempt is also being made to oper up the old Hudson Bay sea route for grain ships. The Hudson Bay Company’s far vessels have for centuries plied between Stromness, in the north of Scotland, and York Factory. Navigation is open for nearly three months of the year, and the route is shorter than any of the trans Atlantic routes now travelled. But, even if the produce of the North West has to be carried by rail to the waters of Lake Superior, the ast annual output will give Eng’and all the food she needs, and give it to her cheaper than our Western farmers cao supply it. The North-West will also furnish unequalled cattle ranges. The region lying between the Rocky Mountains onthe west, the Qu’Appulle River on the east, and Battle River on the north, is covered with luxuriant grasses, and the climate, tem- pere | by winds and rains from the Pacific, is mild enough to admit ot the cattle running at large through the winter. Ranches are al- ready being taken up.” © oS P= The Pacific Railway Lands. ——— = A BONA FIDE ATTEMF’ TO SETTLE THE COUNTRY. The following is from the Winnipeg Free Pressof August Ist, an: illustrates the pol- icy of the Pacific Railway Company with regard to its lands :— The serious attention of the board was directed to the forestalment of the best lands by persons having no intention of settling upon them, and in fact no other intention than to raise the price upon the bona fide settler for their own profit. There are portions of Manitoba which already show the baneful result of similar specu- lations, and as it is ths invariable policy of the company to promore the rapid settle- ment of the country,the best mode of keep- ing all lands open for actual settlers, at the company’s prices, and frustrating any attempt to levy contributions upon them by intermediaries, was most carefully con- sidered. The danger arises from the low price at which the ¢ mopany’s lands are offered, even when no rabate is earned; and we understand that the plan of fixing a larger price in the first instance, to be paid by any purchaser who oes not make suffi- cient improvements to justify the belief that he is a bona fide settler, and the oppo- site idea of resuming possession by the company if such improvements are not made within a reasona' le time, were care- fully discussed and considered. We under- stend that a definite policy upon this ques- tion will be finally decided upon at the ap- proaching meeting of th: Board at Montreal. We are assured that whatever such deczi- sion may be, the result to the actual settler will be precisely the same as that which is reached under the published terms, and reguiation as to amount of improvement will affect in any way any man who takes up land in good faith for the purpose of working it. [t was also decide that immediately upon the final passage of the city by-law the company will proceed with the cons struction of its freight and passenger sta- tions, Offices, workshops, and stock and cattle yards within this city. And we understand that the (iovernment are dis- posed to grant such land, in addition to that proposed to be given by the city, as shall be required for ‘ese purposes. The directors Ceut with another question of much interest to the freight-producing section of the community. The business of receiving, storing and shipping grain and produce is to he facilitated by the granting of leases for elevators and ware- houses, at nominal rents, subject to reason ale stipulations, main!y in the interest of the public. We perceive by our advertising columns that the company is prepared to receive applications for such leases at once. A poliey which these important measures ve THE DAILY EXAMI indicate must meet with due appreeiation by all parties. “Tt has often been esserted that the in- terests of North West and of the com pany are identical, and the steps which the board has taken at its Winnipeg meeting go the ecverrectness of that the far to est cblish position ' The rapid constrectirn of the through ihe simultameoos stretching forth of branches info the most fertile sections of the ecuatry; the sale of Jands at low rates to actual settlers ; the prevention of specu- lation, and tne obstruction of actual settle- ment of the creation of facilities for ready and cheap shipment of produce, are certain- ly, all of them, of essential importance to the progress and development of this great North West. These are the results to vhich the deliberation of the Winnipeg meeting directly tend, and no measures of more importance could have been dealt with, or could have been more satisfactorily line; disposed of. = ee Short Cropa. RATHER DISCOURAGING REPORTS OUT WEST, ESPECIALLY FROM INDIANA. Cuicaco, August 8.—The quarterly re- port of the State Board of Agriculture of Kansas shows that 1,975,693 acres in this State were planted with winter wheat, and the product is estimated at 23,154,400 bushels. These figures show a considerable decrease over yield of 1880, owing to Chinch bugs, Hessian flies and rust. The acreage in corn is put at 4,171,554 against 3,554,396 last year, Despatches from Indiana say the wheat wid corn prospects ate decidedly discourag ing. The ground was never so deveid of moisture, notwithstanding the light showers and all vegetation is being fairly consumed 3 if by fire. Advices from all sectious of the States say corn will not be over one- fourth of acrop. Late petatoes are a total In many places the lecal demand will not be supplied. In many sections no attempt will be made to gather either corn or potatoes. The situation is an alarming one. tal ure. _—em «© The Grand Lodge of Oddfellows. Wotrvitts, N. §., Ang. 11.

A Truro correspondent writes te the Times :—‘* A party of Icelanders passed throngh Truro, en route to the West, on Wednesday. The Nova Seotia Govern- ment assisted these people to settle in Hali- fax County some six yeas ago, by giving them land free, and also helping them by finding seed for the first year and putting up buildings for them. It seems that they have not prospered. The reason given by member of the party to the correspondent was that the land was poor and heavy and they were too far rrom the market. ‘Those who are acquainted with the locality will easily see how this is when they are told that this settlement is situated be- tween Mvsquoboit and Tangier, a few miles from Mooseland, where gold was first dis- covered in Nova Scotia. There were originally abont twenty families. A short time ago two of these sold out and went to Manitoba. They have written such ac- counts of the advantages of the West that whole families have deeded to emigrate thither. The party in question consists of eight families of forty-five persons old and young. Eight families still remain, but their intention is to move shortly. ** Their frams consist ef form 16 to 30 acres, and they sell for $20, $50 and as high as $100 a piece. Many of the present party were not able tu get through tickets to Manitoba, but their intention is to go there as soon as possible. Your correspon- dent was strictly charged to say that the people were very grateful to both the old Government and the present for the inter: est taken in them. They thought it was only a mistake in haying them. loeated where they were. This opinion is shared and has been fully expressed by many of the people who kuow the circumstances.” — <> «(ae The ancient. Jewish colony in , China, known to the Jesuit missionaries of the seventeenth century, as their annals show, has been rediscovered. The chronicles of the colony date back two thousand years, during which the laws and rites of the Hebrew religion were observed and follow- ed. Now, however, the people are begin- ning to desy the faith of their fathers—and are rapidly joining the Mahommedans; they have dropped ali practice of Jewish ceremonies, they have lost all their know- ledge of Hebrew, and scruple not to inter- marry with Pagans. They still, however, possess the ancient rolls of the law written in strange characters, which neither they nor any ordinary Hebrew scholar can decipher. A great competition amongst the savans of the western world is expected to take place to obtain possession of those rolls, now that the fact of their existence is established. ° “Local and Other (tems.
