The January Labour Gazette points that the average cost of living ring December was $14.70, as com- Ad with $14.27 for November, 'figure for December, 1914, was 95. Living costs have, therefore, irly doubled in the last five years.

On | sucht imports we now have to pay 4 | premium of from eight to tea: per | cent.' on account of exchange, an | | additional cost to the Canadian peo- | i ple of more than $60,000,000 a year,' { With the exchange rate now hover- | ing around fourteen and fifteen per {oent. this amount of additiénal cost | of United States goods to Canadian change situation is speedily put right. The fact is that a certain financial ring in the United States is trying to on for ever, Canadian money every bit as good as United States | money, but owing to the fact that Canada is buying more goods from the United States than she is selling | to our southern neighbor, there is a | hea'vy discount of Canadian mongy.

The financiers of Canada jave no contro] over the situation while the common working people, who form the large bulk of the population of Canada,' are' content to buy goods which are made in the United States. If every man, woman and child be- came ®o0 impressed with the danger of the situation that every one made a pledge to buy only goods which are made in Canada or the Empire then we would have a movement started which would eventually bring the Canadian dollar back to par. Hvery mah, woman and child in Canada should become an advocate of the "Made in Canada" principle shopping, and should refuse to b any articla which is going to send money over the American border to be taxed fifteen per cent. on ex- change. The people of Canada have eventually to pay the exchange in the increased cost of the goods. The change without taxing the consumer accordingly, so that it is a paying proposition to buy<home-made goods. Only by doing this can we stand un- challenged es a nation. Only by doing this can we rélease ourselves from the burden imposed on us. Our national existence depends upon it, and every Canadian should do his or her share to lessen the amount of our imports and, by. so doing, to right the unfair exchange rate. A NEW NATIONAL PARTY. N.S., and Z.lawa, hes issued a mani- festo which is probably destined to have a great effect upon the political future of tiiis country, He has sent out a call for a new party, to be called the National party, and out- lines the objects which will form the basis of its platform. At the present time.,it is not quite clear to the publi¢ eye whether this party has the support of the present Unfonfsts or whether it is something entirely new. Unionist party is behind the move ment, which would if successful to any degree, have the effect of uniting the Unionists with certain other ele. ments in the country, 'and would form a new party, with many of the old Unionists at the head, to carry on the government until. such time as conditions have become stabilized. In the manifesto outlining the broad principles of the new party, Senator McLennan lays stress upon the great change in conditions which exists in Canada. He deals apecifi- 1s 'bound to become the most con- tentious question of the near future. His proposal is to adopt a principle of tariff which will meet with the approval of all classes of citizens in 'Canada. Thisis a rather tall order, but by adopting a 6/course the new - party hopes to gain universal support from the Canadian electors and to secure control of the govern- ment. The proposal to wdjust the large taxation in order that the bur- dens shall be equalized according to the cgpacity of the individual citizens to bear themi #8 a good one, and should be worth further explanation, It 1s as yet too early to pass any judgment on this new movement. It has been expected for Some time, and will in all probability be taken up by the Unionist party at the earliest opportunity, . The object of the National partg seems to be to uhite the people ag the Farmers | and the Labor 'movement. However qualified 'this coalition of Farmers and Labor may be to handle provin- : 'cial affairs, it is too much to suppose 4 tha ht they are as yet fitted to handle government of the whole Dominion, The main object of the Union' party, then, is fo. find some means whereby the present govern: ment can become a popular govern- ment. With all its faults it is the Labor and Farmers would not be able at this stage to take over the federal government.

Dominion Happenings of Other Days. | | | A Discouraged People, | When the campaign of the year 1769 opened--between the French and | {the English--it found a very dis- | {couraged people living along the {banks of the St. Lawrence. The Eng- | {lish were on the offensive and the French were finding it more and more, 'difficult to get along.

When you light a candle it burns, | because the lighted wick heats the wax sufficiently to turn it into gases, which mix with the oxygen in the aic { and produce fire in the form of light. You know it is not easy to light a candle quickly. You must hold the | lighted match to the wick until the | wax begins to melt and change to | gases. As long as the wax continues hot enpugh to melt and turn to gas | the candle will burn until all burned | up; but if there is a break in the con- tinuous process of changing the wax | to gas, the light will go out. Now, | when you blow at the lighted candle, | you blow the gases which feed the | flame away from the lighted wick, {and .this makes a break in the con- tinuous flow of gas from the wax to taper, and the light goes out.

Of course discontent increased" rapidly and it was neces sary that something be done at once to restore confidence in the cause. Montcalm was one of the few who remained cheerful and 'optimistic. He had asked the King of France to re- call him in July of 1759 but the monarch wished him to remain ip command. So he was true to his post although he understood as no one else did what a task had been laid on his shoulders. He made a direct appeal to the King for assistance and sent off one of his most trustéd supporters in a fast ship to urge the monarch to send help at once.
