Siftou is likely to find *himsvit face to fzue with n situatiun ‘ unique in his politiml carver. \Vit‘h Mr. Sifton is said to be leading the czamp 1ign, and the Minister of the In- ’ tenor had an emissa1v at the meeting of the Manufactureis Association at Halifax, who it is said, g 1the 111ed con- siderable information on trade subjects. The result of that visit was the sys- tematic coaching of the Free Press, M r. Sifton’s Free Trade Journal of \Vinnipeg. Mr. Tarte has come in for :some hard blows from that quarter. gHowever, he will not. be found want-i 1 ing when the time for action arrives, ; iand his utterance in Toronto, that he feares nothing for a position in the l cabinet, has an ominous ring about it. I ! Mr. Tarte refused during the last ses~ ’ sion of parliament to vote against the i “ Canada for Canadians” proposal of ; the. Conservative party, and deserted E the government on that issue. In do- , ing so, he showed himself to have the {courage of his convictions. Sncha The “fitness finw knows t2; ple are taking Mr. Tau'tc vary so: mun u was nu; HUd giue 132 mi; {3 will ta»: Mi.

Not only have the gov- ernment papers been calling the Min- i ister to time, but in the west Messrs. S1 ott and Oliver, two of Mr. Siftons l mouthpieces have heen promising large I slices of Free Trade. Hardly had Mr. : Torte commenced his annual lecturing I tour when his proposals found opposi- tion in the west, as they now are in the 1‘ east, and the action has become. so general that it looks as if the attempt to down Mr. Torte will he carried on f at any cost. I a “ hen on.” though I do not by any means think that it means a new elec- , tion hefme the meeting of the Legis- Ilature. to even western members of Free Trade professions and protectionist practices. Behind the scene it looks as if Mr. T arte has the fight of his life on his hands. J ealons of the great power the Minister of Pubiic \Vorks wields in the cabinet. and the indifference he displays towards his associates’ wishes, Mr. Sifton and others have determined to “break ” their doughty master. Nearly every Minister of the Crown has his personal organ, in which the owner can puff himself to almost any size, and air hisprivate opinions. Mr. 'l‘arte is represented by La Patrie; M r. Sifton by the \Vinnipeg Free Press: Mr. Fielding by the. Halifax ('hronicle: Sir \Vm. Muloek, by the. 'l'orontoStar; Mr. Fisheery the Mon- treal Herald; and Mr. Blair. by the St. John Telegram. It is significant that. with the exception of La Patrie, the above named organs have started in to hammer the political life out of Mr. 'l‘arte. Each paper has some. con- (lelnlyltion to Ufl‘el'of the pivteetionisc ovations of Mr. 'l‘arte. The Halifax (‘hronicle advises him tojoin the Con- servatives and the others join lustily in the chorus. i The spirited discussion carried on in i the press and from the public platform T by the Hon. J. Israel Tarte and Hon. . Clifford Sifton, has proved a surprise :to the average elector. In political circles, however, where the differences ‘ of opinion existing in the inner circles Qof the. cabinet and the ranks of the 5 Liberal party are well known, the fall- ? ing out has been expected for some ‘ time. Hon. J. Israel Tarte stands , alone among the members of the gov- ; ernment for Protection straight; while 4 M r. Sifton is endeavoring to play the f Free Trade game for the west. Both ; gentlemen have been saying sharp " things. Mr. Sifton has insinuated that he and the western members hold the key of the situation. Mr. Tarte, in answer, reminds the Minister of the Interior, that the people are superior ient good men toadminister the affairs; of the pi ov ince. Acombination of the! best men in the two parties would 1111- ~ prox e matters not only 1n department-i al work, but in general government, and the Administration would be ablei to take. a holiday from vote hunting and all that is involved therein and' devote itself exclusively to the welfare of the 111m inc-e.

In the city he Imus that all the expensus of liyiugmust be met out of the uue fund of salary or wages, and when they have been met the remainder will not always compare favorably with his profits on the mun. One reason often given for this des‘ ertion is the hard work of farm life. The young people leave it to find something better. That the farmer works hard, none will deny, but he is not the only one whose life is given 11p to labor. He toils and produces his own bread, while the ave age city man depends upon another to say whether €111: shall hav e work by w hi1 11 to err 11 his own bread. Many a young 1111111 who has come to the city from the fax m finds that while he has left quiet {and healthful surroundings behind 1 hard work still dogs his footsteps. The work of the farmer to-day is light in comparison with that of his forefath- ers. Country roads are better, 111- though they are far short of what they should be and of what they will be when the good road 11111ven1ent is vig- orously taken up. The inventor and the 111111-11inist have come. to the farm- er's assistance and the reaper 111111 the threshing-1nachine have 111111111 the Sickle 111111 the. flail antiquated tools. lThus the farmer’s work has been lightened and his poWer of performing work increased. Frequently young people are led away from the farm by the glitter and the noise of the city. Too often they have before their eyes the great prizes of city life that can only be won by the few and they lose sight of the average condition of the great masses which in most of those things tending to comfort and length of days 1s far below the av er 1ge 1on- dition 111 life on the farm. - If it is ’ with hope of making money that the young farmer comes to the city. how often is that hope blighted! He finds that when be compared his income on the farm with that of the average city man he always made the mistake of thinking only of his net income while it was the city man’s gross income he had in mind. 0.11 the farm he paid no rent and as a rule bought no fuel, he1 produced nearly all his tood and some of his clothing, and his horses carried him on most of his necessary Journeys. i 1 l (Family Herald.) One of the conditions of the present time is the tendency of the population to flock to the cities. Reliable statis- tics collected in diffeaent countries prove the existence of this deplorable condition, and economists have sound- ed a note of warning against this ab- normal swelling of the ranks of the city dwellers at the expense of the rural populatian. “ Back to the land” is the advice that has been given again and again to the thousands who have left the free open life of the farm to struggle for existence in the over- crowded cities. This cityward move- ment of the populotion is very mani- fest in England where, according to the census of 1901, the mean rate of increase in the urban districts was 15.2 per cent. while in the rural :districts the mean rate of increase was only 2.9 percent. The last Canadian census shows that throughout the older pro- vinces in the East similar conditions are operating in this new country. According to the census of 1891 the rural population of Ontario was 1,295,- 232; according to the census of 1901 it is only 1,247,190, a decrease of 48,133 while the urban population increased from 818,998 to 935,752.. The cities and towns of eastern Canada grew; the people on the land barely held their own. To be sure this absence of in- crease in the rural population is ac- counted for to a certain extent by the migration of eastern farmers to the prairies of Manitoba and the North- \Vest, a transfer of rural population from one part of the Dominion to an- other. But after allowing for all that, the fact remains that thousands of our young men and women have deserted the land for the cities. STICK TO THE PARK BOYS.
