Oas of the many surprises sprang on the world by Canada is the discovery that this plain has not only fertility, but nearly always moistum enough to grow heavy crops of automo-sowe wheat. I: is this wheat that is grown in vast quantities in the Far West of the United Sinton for export to China and Japan, and Lord Grey, the Governor-General of Canada, has set his heart on capturing that great market ler the Dominion.

The writer has little difficulty la pointing ont that a sphors of activity where a man was both unmolested and annidad would yield a freedom limited in most casas to ti freedom to starve. By far the grater number of bu van desires are such as can only be satisfied by social relation, or relation between followbeings. The writer then approaches the idea from the sids of
comparative freedom or unfreedom. The man who acts from the higher motive is more free than the man That man who is prompted by the low r seems to me to set with freedom who yield to the impalss of the highest motive which demands his obedience, or which presonts self to his consciousness, at the moment of determination.*
