Menzies Jr.’s camp two or three miles this side of Bobenygeon, met with a serious accident on Thursday of last week. He was cutting dowu a cedar tree which, as it was leaning a good deal in one direction, he had not notched (as is customary) at the side opposite to that at which he applied his saw ; and the result was that when the tree fell the butt split for some dis- tance before breaking from the stump and then flew up into the air. Mr. Sharpe retreated to what he considered a safe distance and stood with a foot. on each side. of a log; but he did not go far enough, and the tree in descend- ing struck his right leg between the knee and ankle, and broke both bones. He was taken in a cutter to the camp, and then made as comfortable as pos- sible in a sleigh and driven to his home at the Falls, where he is now doing well under the care of Dr. Graham. Mr. .‘lharpe has been very unfortunate as far as accidents are concerned, for he was laid up along time last spring in consequence of getting one of his hands so badly jammed in llowry 8:.

MoKinleyism Again. 1f Chairman Dingley and his commits we have their way, our old friend, the McKinley tariff, will again bristle along our southern border. The forecast fur- nished by the American press shows that the McKinley rates on all our chief exports to the United States are to be restored. Coal goes back to 75 cents per ton and lumber to $1 per thousand. Barley is raised from 30 per cent to 30 cents a. bushel; cats from 20 per cent to 15 cents; wheat from 2.0 percent to- 25 cents; boy from $2 per ton to $4 per ton ; natural vegetables, from 10 per vent to 2;") per cent; potatoes from 15 cents per buahel to ‘25 cents per bushel; bacon frmn 20 per cent' to‘ 5 cents per pound; eggs from the free list to fire centsper dozen ; and so on all along the line. The temporary decency of the Wilson tariff is plainly to be abandoned with a leap, and the vicious and short- sighted hostility of the policy which drove our trade with Britain from eighty millions up to one hundred and seven millions. resumed. For the resumption of. the war. (lan- adn has no blame. The vote last June, so far as it touched: the question at all, showed distinct friendliness to the Unit- 0d States. Two of our most important Ministers have just been down to Wash- ington on an errand of peace. This blast is the reply. So far as the Amer- icans can kill the trade now proceeding between us. they will. They even add fun inSolent clause to their lumber sched- ule. declaring that if we dare to retaliate upon their lumber duty by imposing an export tax upon wood in almost any form. they will augment their duty by an additional one of 25 per cent ad val- orum. That they are firing on us, can- not be doubted; and the only question I for us is 2 what is our duty in the case? Have we not played the door-mat 1 about long enough ? They care neither for their own consumers nor internation- al nmity ; but we have retaliation yet to try. If. for instance. they think they! can get along without our lumber, we! might afford them an opportunity to l test their belief. High priced wood- 3 work of all kinds might prompt the poo ‘ l ple to bring their politicians to reason. , As for us. we must clearly depend upon 3 machine Needles.

A special correspondent of the Lon- don Chronicle has been investigating matters in Germany relative to the oper- ation of the laws concerning compulsory insurance against accidents. The in- surance is paid one half by the employ- er, who, besides, is liable uuder common law for the consequences of his negli- gence. It is contended that the result has been to make the employer more careful. Deaths per ten thousand work- men have fallen from 7.7 to 6.7 since the law came into operation. The total number of accidents per thousand em- ployed is 36 per annum, while it is said to be 129 in England. The whole of the evidence goes to show that in Ger- many, at any rate, the employer follows the counsels of prudence and self-inter- est. 'l'he liability for all injuries no doubt presses on him somewhat heavily, with the result that he is calling in all the resources of common sense and sci- ence to put an end to preventable acci- dents. Hospitals and accident stations have sprung up. specialists have been drawn into the field, a whole literature on workmen’s diseases and accidents has made its appearance, and, most import- ant of all, .it has ceased to be the busi- ness of the doctor merely to patch up his patient so as to admit of his leaving the hospitalâ€"the thing is how to get the man into sound working trim. __.*..
