panegyrists what the principle le whose cause they are espousing. The specul tor plays in the economic world the role of a parasite. He produces nothing, he does not even perform the questionable service of merchant. He confines himself to taking away from the real workers, by stealth or violence, the largest part of the proceeds of their labour. The speculator is a robber who robs the producers of the articles produced by forcing them to accept loed quate compensation for their toll, and the consumers, by forcing them to buy from him at a enormous advance. The weapon with which he falls upon producers and consumers like a highwayman, iq double-barrelled, and is called elevation and depression, of prices, But whether it be stogle men's pillows, or or cornering the markets. He makes use of married men's pillows, I think that all pillows, this murderous Implement in the following and bedrooms, as well; have witnessed in the manner:-When bis intention is to plunder the course of their existence more of real human producer, he begins to sell certain goods that he life than any pair of mortal eyes.

the cruel game as often as a few years of peaceful industry have refilled the emptied money-drawers of the producing classes. Financial crises and simply the piston-strokes with which the capitalists pump the savings of the industrial classes into their own reservoir.
The advocates of speculation any that the. speculator plays an Important and necessary role in the great drama of political economy; that his gains are the results of such superior. agacity, deeper insight, prompter decision and. more adventurous daring. This argument plassesi me; let us selse and examine it. There fore, because the specalvor has means of information at his disposal which are inaccessible to the general public, because he has less drend of losses than the prudent and bonest man, and takes advantage of all possibilities in a moro underhanded way, he has a right to take away from the labouring classes the results of their labour, and allow it to accumulate for himself, while he takes bis ease. This right is conse quenily based upon the fact that he bas better weapons-bis sources of Information ; grester courage-as he hazards only the money of others; and superior strength of judgment and intel-. gence. Now let us see if the poorer classes hare not even better weapons-ifios and dypa.... mite bombs, greater courage-as they are willing to risk their lives, and superior strength of bone and sinew. If this is the case, and it is, the advocates of speculation must concede to the labouring classes the right of taking away from the speculators the results of their so-called fabour. If they do not concede this right to the one class as well as to the other, then the theore upon which the justification of speculation is based, is a lie.

It may serve some useful purpose if we remind our readers that on the 1st of February 1887. three members of Parliament-namely, Messrs. Stevenson, Bryce, and Barlog Young asked Sir James Fergusson in the House of Commons Whether Port Hamilton is to be shortly evacuated by Her Majesty's forces ; and, If an hat arrangemests have been made with the Chinese or any other Government regarding In reply Sir James Fergerson said:—“I am requested by the Secretary of State for the Colonies to state that Post Hamllion will shortly be evacuated by Her Majesty's forces. No arrangements have been made respecting future custody; but it is understood that a Carcan official will be present at the time of the departure of the British skips. No conditions bare born made with the Government, but Her Majesty's Government did not determine to retire from Park Hamillon till they had received a guarantee from the Chinese Govern ment that no port of Corea, including Port Hamilton, shall be occupied by any foreign Power."

The contributor may wonder seme:imer why quite early in their nequrtarance, his editor earnestly begs for his photograph. The truth ts that the rice boy has a complete eet of apeaking likenesses fitted into a frame inside his desk, and this crables Him to bff the contribu tor who hopes to get admission to the editor's room before he is recogni-ed. Unhapplly, the Ingenalty of some contril wors is quite equal to this device, and one of them, who had artfully made himself up to reamble Mr. Gladstone, triumphed over the success of the stentagem by bursting into an exclamation worthy of a traDS- ponting melodrama. Nor is this all. There are contributors who are bitten by a desire to make havoc of conventions. "Why, write one, "should we he gagged by a miserable deference to prejudice? You have returned my last article with the stereotyped remark that it is a little too strong. How on earth can any bieg be too strong? Are your readers rational beings, or babies to be fed with spoon-rent? Are you giving them information, suitable for grow men and women, or teaching them to play with the rattle ?". Here is another: "You struck eut of my paper on the census a harmless and playful allusion to the statistics of fliegitimacy Good gracious! Are we to look facts in the face or are we not ? P.S-1 reperied the allusion in the company of most bencurable ladies yesterday, and they were quite coable to see anything wrong in it." There's the rub! The contricutor, who is haughtily certain that his code of propriety is immaculate, can always quote the opluton of some irreproachable private cycle in support of it.
