LINDSAY The association takes a yearly ex- cursion. Last year that trip was to the Pacific coast and back. One of its objects and results was to afford the mem- bers of the association an opportunity of seeing fer themselverthenvaafixt‘e’h‘ra the Dominion and the natural grandeur that westward lifts its pageautryzacroas two thousand miles. Not only do the Individual newspapers more or less set forth the importance of turning the tourist multitudes into the great playgrounds of this Domlnion, and the striking fitness of this panorama of healthful magnificence for these multi- tudes of rest-seekers, but the official organization of newspaper men. the Can- adian Press Association at its annual meetings never fails to emphas’ze and advertise the resources of this country as the paradise of those who look for re- creation by contact with nature in her sublimest. happiest moods. STILL RESOLVED At the meeting of the association in February it was moved, seconded and carried that: “This association continue its efforts to interest railways, steamship lines, hotels. municipalities and the public generally, in the large profits to be derived from tourists and summer resort visitors; that a copy of the President’s address be sent to every newspaper in Canada, directing attention to his remarks on this subject, and urging them to secure the election every year of a com- mittee of their local Board of Trade to deal exclusively with the question of improving the hotels, and otherwise making their part of Canada attract visitors from abroad.” Extracts from the address of President W. S. Dingman. at the February meeting give facts worth considering and mention this district as among the most suitable for tourist trade. They also regret the look of better hotel accommodationâ€"the very thing over which the people of Lindsay have for some time made on availing lament, and do still. A few of the sentences of the address: THE NUMBERS THAT G0 “The Pacific coasc excursion must have served to emphasize in the minds of its participants certain points brought out by Lieut.-Col. J. B MacLean. in his annual address as president a couple of years past, and also in his paper read a year ago upon the tourist question. In- asmuch as experienced travelers regard the scenery of the Canadian Rickxes as not only richer than that via Unhed States transcontinental lines, but also describe it enthusiasticaily as surpassing that of the famed Alps of Switzariand; 9. id has nuch as our far north presents the finest remaining fields for the modern bu Iter, it is worth while to be reminded of the advantages Canada should he able to gain by attracting tourists from Europe as well as from the neighboring republic. Col. MacLean pointed out, among other things, that sportsmen Lf Great Britain are estimated to spend annuallv about $224,000,000. When to this is added the amounts spent in travel and sports by the American and British people and the wanna-do classes of Europe> it is evident that here is a field that Canada has bare- ly begun to exploit. Considering the natural playgrounds afforded by New Brunswick, by the Muskoka and Parry Slund districts, by the Lake Superior and Lake of the Woods regions. and, to crown all, by the Rockies and our Paci- fic Coast, Col. McLean’s view that Canada should attract annually one mil- lion tourists from the United States does not appear extravagant; we certainly ought to be able to attract one million from the United States and Europe 00m- bined. The Men of the Newspapers Realize the Importance of This Traffic THE PRESS AND THE TOURIST TRADE LINDSAY IS MENTIONED In support of the reasonableness of this estimate, I quote some facts which 001. MacLean has helped me to procure, showing how quick has been the response to what have been, so far as Canada is concerned, practically a few isolated organized attempts to attract tourists. The best work is probably done in New‘ Brunswick and Nova Scotia, in both of these provinces there exhist tourist associations. The N ova Scotia association estimates that 50.C00 Americans visited ‘the Annapolis Valley, a low estimate of their expenditure being $5,000,000, a goodly sum for one portion of that small province. The neighboring state of Maine is said to have reaped a revenue last year of $12,000,000 from summer visi ors, distributed in small sums and chiefly in the poorer districts. Senator Frye, of that state, says that they felt the depression less because so much extra money was distributed among the people by outsiders. The Grand Trunk Railway carried about 22,000 southern tourists to the Muskoka and Parry S )und regions last year. against a former record of half that number. ,There would have been more but for lack of hotel accommodation, 8. want which is on the way toward being filled. The dis- ‘tricts reached through Lindsay and Peterboro are to be advertised this year extensively in the United States. Thevl offer a similar playground to that of the‘ Muskoka region. Indeed, the tourist field in North Ontario is practically boundless. The Canadian Pacific and Canada Atlantic Railways are making ex- tensive plans for bringing thousands of Americans to the magnificent shooting and fishing grounds and summer resorts in the area north of Parry Sound and Mattawa. A present drawback is the lack of good hotels; the quicker they are supplied the sooner will be the influx Visitors from the south do not mind $3 to $5 per dayâ€"occasionally moreâ€"pro- vided they get the accommodation. Municipal authorities, boards of trade, and newspapers can do much to turn the footsteps of the immensefiarmy of tourist travellers, including sportsmen, sight- seers, summer resort visitors and pros- pectors towards Canada. These facts should help to prompt a ready apprecia- tion of the enormous sums of money these people leave in the countries they favor, and avery large share of which Canada should, by well-directed effort, be able to secure. IT \VOCLD MEAN MONEY Iobsetve than consular reports show that during nine months of 1899 some 2,500,000 tourists visited Switzerland, leaving in that country an average of 80 francs ($1544), or a total of $38,600,003. The average American tourist, however, wvuld spend not less than from $50 to $100, whilst the European or As atlo touzlst, passing through Canada would average more like $200. The tourist not only spends freely, having economizsd at home that he may have the funds to spend abroad but he knows a go9d op portunlty when he meets it, to which fact we owe not a few great investments of foreign capital, capectally in our Great West. sluce the advent of the Canadian Pacific Railway. I preach to you the duty of talking up our country. \Ve might even brag of it. The press, by zealously utilizing oppor- ;unitie,= to enlarge upon Canada’s attrac- tlone, can infuse Into our own population a strong sentiment on the subject; and through existing ties abroad help to en- tice a greater flaw of windows. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has a Sunday school class of 63 young men at the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, New York. Frederick B. “'hitney, the business manager of the Boston Transcript, who died recently, had been connected with The Transcript for 37 years. 'W. A. Pinirerton, the detective, is an advocate of the whipping post for foot- pads. He says that burglars deserve the same treatment as murderers. Ex-Scnator Gorinan of Maryland said the other day that he did not seem to look like a politician. “Invariably,” he said, “strangers mistake me for either a diplomat or a priest.” Joseph Chidester of Lynden, Clay coun- ty, Mo., calls himself “the solid Repub- lican vote of that town." Out of 262 votes in Lyndon he was the only one who voted for McKinley in 151} ‘. The other 201 voted for Bryan. Frank Gould's horses are to have a $90,000 building, in which they can take indoor exercise. He has bought for this purpose a plot of ground in the most aris- tocratic part of New York. The price of the site alone is $80,000. Andrew Carnegie’s reason for giving his money to establish libraries rather than for other charitable purposes is be- cause “libraries give nothing for nothing. In order to get benefit from them a man must help himself, must read and study.” Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania has been a member of congress off and on since 1851.

He was recently asked, “Has the theater any other mission than to amuse?” Sir Henry replied, “Has food any other mission than to please the palate ?” _ vâ€" A.___ LA Llllbuwy - Senator Baker of Kansas says he started his son, E. Burgoyne Baker, in newspaper work because he believes journalism is thebest of training for any young man, no matter whether he intends to keep'it up or to go into some other profession. General de Villebois-Mareuil, who was recently killed while in the Boer service, is said to have amused himself in Paris by writing some love stories for the Pa- risian papers, which he never allowed to use his name. He was also the author of some valuable military textbooks. Southern senatons are almost prover- bially long lived. and attention is called to the fact that Senator Vest of Missouri is 70 years old, Senator Cockrell of the same state 66, Senator Morgan of Ala- bama 76, Senator Bacon 0! Georgia 61, Senator Bate nearly 75 and Senator Pet- tus of Alabama 79. I do not say that Mr. Pilkle has said all these things, but he might as well have. In his second able letter on this question of wages and marriage he ex- presses the opinion that working people are 40% worse off than they were twenty years ago. How Mr. Pilkie arrives at such a conclusion is a puzzle to me; it may have been a puzzle to Watchman- Warder readers and possibly was a puzzle to Mr. Pilkle himself. He cites as a fact that twen'y years ago laborers received 20 cents an hour or $2 00 per day in Lind- say. That may be true in a few cases but on inquiry I have been unable to find that laborers received any such wages as a rule. The average pay seems to have been from $1 00 to $1.25 per day and ii: is the same now. A builder and contract. or who had experience of those days tells me that the highest he ever paid a laborer was $1 50 per day and that was on a rush job and to a first-class man. I will admit thaf bricklayers have re- ceived less per 1,000 for laying brick in recent years than when the building boom was on. but this does not appr to skilled workmen as a rule. It is an ex- ception just as Mr. Piikie’a price for labor is an exception and unless Mr. Pilkie seriously believes that excepiions prove the rule he has not made out much of a case for himself. too many miserable marriages, because there are too many children disturbing households by night and communities by day, because the majority of paanTB are compelled to be slaves and drudgeo for their children on account of the smell pay received for labor. Not only are wages as good to-day as they were in the pass but the cos: of liv- ing has materially leesenei. The price of wearing apparel is much less than in was twenty years ago. The same is un- doubtedly true of house-furnishings and provisions, Among the few exceptions to this is fuel. I: is dearer now than formerly, but. with a newly-discovered peat bog so near at hand, this does not justify Mr. Pilkie in advising young people not to marry. “Marriage should be discouraged," in- sists Mr. Pllkie. And why foreooth? Because there are too many people already in the world, because there are Another thingâ€"the money in circulat- tion in Canada today is much more per head than years ago. This, in connection with the facts I have proved, that wages are no lower and living much cheaper, mskeai: certain that the woxkln ngmm is better ofi now than he was twenty years ago. I repeat my former statement th at the circumstances cf worklr gmen in the United States and Canada are better than in any other countries of the word. This view is,I think, generally held, but it may serve to strengthen that cpintcn to quote a leading importer cf this town, who after a recent visit to the manufact- uring centres of England said: ”The one thing I noticed about the working- men of England was that they are not. nearly so well fed as are Canadian work- men.” The same thing is true of labor- ers on the continent, for no European nation is ahead of England in this re- ,spect. The liberty and well-being of the American workman are not. (qualled In the world, and of this the tremendous iyearlv immigration is a proof. Mr. Geo. Fox Replies to Mr. Pilkie’s Contention that it Should Be SHOULD MARRIAGE BE DISCOURAGED? Mr. Pilkie cites the action of a corpor- ation that used detectives against its em- ployees. That was likely done. I do not admlre 1r, bun he must. be a credulouu man who thinks it is in America alone that capital resorts to such means. This and worse evils. unknown in America. are grievances of the workingmen of Europe. I have proved that marriage is as pos- sible as ever and I will say again that if: is the only prop. r condition. Mr. Piikie’s statement that women do not like domestic duties is not in harmony with my observation but at My rate if that: were true it would be a matter to be cor- recred and not a reason for condemning marriage. The aversion to marriage is too common rows-days and is based on it fling grounds. To this error Mr. Piikle is giving encouragement. The men who made this country. married without: thought of bank account. probable in- come. or the responsibilities which mar ried life entailed. They married the women they loved, lOcated in the bowling wil ierness. crowded it with happy homes and became the pioneers of this great and prosperous country. In this they set a goal eximple which their posterity is not following as promptly as they should. Subscribe fo. Watchman-Wank: 75 Cents p: .nnnm
