Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - December 1, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba wednesday dec. 1, 1875. The ban situation. The telegrams have an ominous Rin about Spain it appears demurs a the Bonds of her rebellious dependency Ciba being sold in the United states. A the same connection the unite states is getting everything on a War Foo ing. This May not mean anything but if i does without doubt it is the adoption o Cuba. In Ontario there is a Strong disposition t have done with the exemption of chord and school property from taxation. Ali London advertiser wisely remarks the exemption of Church property is a crying evil which will have to come to an in sometime and the sooner the better. Will be opposed by some who mistake a traditional prejudice for reverential feeling by people will learn after a while that it Doe not pay to save in one pocket by laying of More from the other. Church grounds am buildings get All the Benefit of municipal expenditure at the expense of the Genera Public most of whom Are members of som religious congregation and the Burden Cai Only be equitably distributed when congregations Are made to pay in proportion to the value of their property. If the country is not yet Ripe for legislation on these subjects the agitation will surely be continued til the people Are educated to do their the London advertiser after a agitating upon the confederation question from an Ontario standpoint concludes that some things go to show that the annexation of outlying pro Vinces to the Dominion is not such a Bac speculation after All. For instance in Fuce of the fact that the Commerce of Canada As a whole fell away a considerable sum the last year the transactions of Prince Edward Island and British Columbia increased they have evidently not suffered like the rest from the general depression. Columbia s Trade expanded Over 25 per. Cent for the year ending Juno 30th, 1874. The added value of exports and imports was for the year ending june 30th 1875, the amount was Prince Edward Island Rose in the same period from 825 to meantime Ontario fell off one million and Quebec about eight Mil Lions. of the loan recently effected by or Cartwright on behalf of the Dominion an Ontario co temporary says there Are no two opinions about the rate of interest that will have to be paid by the Dominion Foi the new loan. The rate is Low and the terms Good. An excellent financial author. To raises a warning note however at the idea of borrowing Money at All just now be. Cause every addition to debt Means Caldi Tion to taxation no matter How Low the interest is we cannot escape in face of the fact that the tax paying Power of the country decreased this year and May still further decrease it is deemed bad policy to add to the rate of taxation for the Pur pose of investing Money in unproductive works. This View is prudent though the Sovereign people appear anxious to speculate a Little on the chances of returns from opening up the Belleville intelligencer complains that there is great Scarcity of Small Bills in circulation and makes the government responsible for this As the conservative press in general does for everything not Desir Able. The reply to the address in the Ontario legislature was passed without a division on sufficient evidence that the Mowat government is Strong enough to control the House by a respectable majority. Canadian shipowners Ami the Phim Sah act. The Canadian shipowners Are complaining of the injustice of applying to them tie pm Moll shipping act. While this act does not give the same advantages to Canadian Cratt As it does to that of English Register it subjects to greater restrictions and exaction. The determination of what constitutes an a seaworthy vessel is left to the discretion of the Board of Trade surveyors a body which some of the journals1 appear to think Are incompetent to discharge this important duty their training having been in the naval service and unfit for application to the merchant service. Then again the act puts it in the Power of one fourth of the Crew to Stop any vessel which they deem seaworthy As the Crew is not shipped till the vessel is loaded the trouble from this no Little dissatisfaction can Easil be imagined. The Canadian ship have c Imi Stei and Al Borno by there could not ground for the belief that his heart it the of the to fund to him sums amounting to ten thous and pounds which he advanced out of he own pocket on behalf of his department to bring Over and pay the expenses of wit Nesses m the Tichborne world. vib . From the Canada Farmer. We believe in every Man having at least one Hobby and in allowing him to ride his Hobby to death if i to do Many men Are. Apt to do it. Dietetic Reform ers for instance who Are. Necessarily1 enthusiasts Are addicted to going to extremes and to running their cause to by. In discreet advocacy. And if they practice their notions with As Ucli virulence As the preach them they sometimes run them selves to death also. Dio Lewis May be mentioned Asah awful example. For Many weary years he has preached Brown bread and living by Rule to our neighbors Over the line and now what is he Why has become the great american dyspeptic and suffers from indigestion in one of its most uncomfortable forms. Of All dietetic Cecen. Tri cities probably vegetarianism is most rampant and most easily Ridden to that is to the rider s death. Of late years not to be wondered at the Public inter est in vegetarianism has flagged. To keep themselves before the people the Vegs now Advance the notion that their Hobby and intemperance cannot exist together. Utter nonsense surely for do not the Hin Doos vegetarians mainly have their Chang and Barrack and do not they drink them selves into a state of beastly intoxication 1 alcoholism is a great the greatest evil under which civilization travails vegetal arianism is powerless against it. On the other hand the Canada Farmer believes that vegetarianism is Verv easy of cure. Let any person suffering from it hire out on a farm for Aye air he would soon find his stomach petitioning for a stronger diet than vegetables. R Sto Bart co wholesale find retail is farming Dull a writer in the Rural new yorker has some admirable thoughts on this we commend to our Young people talking with a very Bright and ambitious Ning woman a Farmer s daughter where Ever night she was Dull sort of life. Said a Young Man of Twenty two years there is no incentive to work. It is All hum drum routine and hard work no relaxation of Effort and Noth. Ing to stimulate the what nonsense we replied. There is everything for a stimulus. Each farm is a world in itself about which those who have lived upon it know Little or nothing comparatively. Suppose for example we were to ask How Many kinds of on your farm could you Tell is with their Correct names habits and his Ory suppose we ask you How Many species of plants Are indigenous on your and he names of these of flowering color of Flowers soil and locality in which they grow. Could you Tell us suppose we were to ask you How Many species of Birds visit your farm every year the time of their arrival and departure their habits while Vith you their names and their habits while absent from your locality the balance of the year. Could you Tell us suppose we ask Rou How Many species Are to be bund on your farm their names history habits whether injurious to you or not up m what Trees or plants they live when and Low often they appear and How Long they stay. Could you Tell us suppose we ask fou to show us specimens of the grasses and other plants the Birds Etc which nay be gathered within your Boundary fences. Could you show them to us and it if you were to undertake to acquire the Rowledge to have suggested by these in quiries you would find your life to Short. Yet the knowledge you would gain the in you would soon take in it and the knowledge of your own impotency you would acquire would prove to you that it is lot the farm that is a Dull place but it is who Are it.
