This consciousness of unity is manifesting Itself < in many different ways, not the least significant of which is the growing demand in the Old Country for colonial news...and in Canada, at least, for news from the home land. The Uritish newspapers are giving more anil more attention to Canadian affairs within;the last few years. The Times, The Mail and The Standard have established overseas departments ami: how the Pall Mai!

These and other English ;papers have correspondents in all important Canadian centres and, send yearly brie or more special representatives throughout this country. Besides there are three at least London publications; devoted .exclusively to Canada ���������The Canadian Gazette, Canada, and the Canadian Mail. On the other hand several Canadian journals have sent special representatives t.6 l^ondon to report the present political campaign, something in fact that-, was . never done before.

That is npt to say either that the busi ness men were backing up the liquoi {interests, for the great ^ajority ol hem did not want to se the open sa oon return. Many of them objected, lowever, to the clause in the amend nent which seemed to involve, an in asion of personal liberty in that the egislature could legislate against the eeping of liquor in the honre. Many hought, too, that the prohibitionists were going too far; that if. they were ?iven their way altogether prohibitory aws and their enforcement would rap- dly become rather an oppression than simple ridding of the state of the sale of liquor over the bar. The campaign was warming up when for the public ^e w,iter visited Birmingham. It was rather difficult at times to get men to talk on the economic effects of prohibition in the 22 months it hbd been in force. They wanted to talk about the constitutional amendment. Naturally you are not interested in constitutional amendments when your mission is to get at the effects of prohibition. Inter- Tiews quoted here then are those from ���������men who, in the opinion of the writer, ������pt away from their feelings on the amendment and talked about the economic effects of prohibition. ��������� Pijphibition went into effect in Birmingham just after the panic of 1907 and that'City and the surrounding district in common with all other places in the south felt the business depression which followed the panic. During the summer of 1908 Birmingham had another trouble too. It came in the form )f a costly and lengthy coal miners' itrike which to such an industrial dls rict meant the Ides of millions of dol 'ars. As usual prohibition Kr'aa blamed by the liquor interests for 'the depres sion in business and the losses result- ng from the natural coudltlbns growing out of the panic An examination of the figures of pro- Trees generally accepted In the city show however that things were not so -atT after all. In 1908, for instance, they have It figured out that about 117,500,000 was Invested in the district That exceeds the amount Invested in 1907 by fully |3r000,000. In the building line the city also broke records In 1908, the first year without' saloons spending over $2,500,000 on new build ings as against less than |2,000,<HK In 1907. Opinion of Wholesalers, Talking to retailers and wholesaler? you find that they are generallyot the opinion that prohibition has not bur: business. P. J. Fox, president of the Fox Smith Grocery Company, retailers, said 'hat be could not see that it bad affected business much one way or the other t had not hurt their business. It wat enerally admitted that the a bo! it lor it the .saloons had reduced crime and improved the moral tone of the city !e would not vote to bring thesaloor again as they bad them before, but he was not a prohibitionist. He thought there should be some arrangement by which people coming to Birmingham could get what they want in the line of drink. The clubs should be allowed to have liquor. Another grocery concern, this.time a wholesale, thought that It had been to the advantage of the business men to have the saloons closed. They had found that there was more trade particularly in the commissary departments at the mines where large numbers of men were employed. Mr. Fowike8, of the Fowlkes & Wyatt, retail grocers, declared ihat-tbe j abolition of saloons had in his opinion- had a beneficial effect on trade. His experience was that people of some classes were buying more groceries. They were operating a credit business, and found.the collections very good-in deed. There has been a depression last year in business, as a^result of the, panic, but this had pa/^ed awayv and business was improving right, along: The people now had more money for groceries, tools and shoes, and clothes. C. M. Brown, of the Goodall-Bcpwn Company, the largest dry goods wholesale, thought that prohibition had improved business, at least, they could net see it. any otherway- They had Grimmett's Jewellery Sale CHALLENGE PRICES 20 per cent.

It stood to reason that if men came to the city now they would spend moie money on food and clothes than formerly when they had been m the habit of going to the saloons. He-was not an extiemist in the matter, but his belief and experience was that prohibition helped business The manager of the Walkover Shoe Company said that he could not see that prohibitirn had affected busines' to any great e<tent. He would rathei have the conditions as they weie lhan as t hey had been. Business was , increasing steadily: Effect on Clothing Stores. ��������� ^ J. Dlarh & Sons operate one'of the largest clothing scores in Birmingham. I was ���������frequently told that they were wet in their inclinations. Sent to the advertising manager. Mr. .Daniels, he told me that he did not think that local option had hurt business.;'- Personally he did not think it had affected it much one way or\ the other. .The firm had beaten 1907 ���������iecords so far this year and that'was doing well. Business was good and there wfts more money in the district than ever before. He believed that the present laws against liquor were too drastic. H. A. Dr.eniic.ii, of. Drehnen's department store/ one of the largest in the city, declared that business was good; in tact it: was perfectly satisfactory. Their business for October had shown a very healthy increase over last October and also over October of 1007. He had not taken any part in the prohibition movement one way or another He did not know, whether it was prohibition or not but business was very satisfactory. Mr. Loeb, of Loveman, Joseph and Loeb, large department store, is against prohibition. He could not see, how ever, that, it had done anv harm to his firm in a business way. Their business had increased 20' per cent, in the last four weeks. It Was better than last year or the year befoie. Some men left stood to reason that if the money did not go'ihto the saloons it would go into other channels. Collections were about the same with them. Last year the city had felt the effects of the panic and the strike which had to some extent caused a 'epiession in business. Employeis ot abor in Birmingham and the surrounding district in the aa- jority of cases believe that the absence of the saloons is advantageous to them fiom a labor point of view Street Railway's Experience. Piesident Foid, of the Birmingham Railway, Light and >Power Co., which operates the street lailway^and furnishes light and powder to" the citizens, said that he- regaided prohibition as beneficial to 'business. There were j_about 1,100 men employed by the corporation. They did not hire anybody, who was intemperate. He believed (hat collections were on. the whole better in the light department since the saloons had goiie out.. They had lost quite a lot of lighting business when 200 saloons closed, but had made up the loss in new business and also had had an increase beyond that. He was Inclined to think that poor men's wives as ������ rule had more money now to buy food and groceries. The company had been troubled less with accidents since the saloons closed and there had been less cars. Prohibition had a good effect on the moral tone of the city. Thedepres- saloons has helped tbe 500 men in their employ at Birmingham. It had , in creised the efficiency of labor bv'abont 40 per cent., lessened accidents by about 25 per cent., and cut down garnishments by about 50 per cent. In 1907 when the woiks were running full blast there had always been trouble in get ting out any kind of a full force after pay day. On the last pay day, without saloons, there weie only two out of t25 men absent in one department. .7. H Goodapple, secretary-ti easurei of the Dimmick Pipe Co, declared(that prohibition v had helped them quite a bit with their labor. The 600 men employed did nctt spend neatly so much for liquor now as foi merly and the result was that they had riioip money for groceries arid;clothes. Theie wai not so much difficulty'''now in getting a working force on the Monday after each pay day and there weie few men absent in comparison with what there used to be when the saloons weie limning. W. A. Green, treasurer and auditor of the Republic Iron and Steel Co, employing about '000 men in mines and runiaces, said lie could not see that ���������irohibition hsul affected their men ���������niKli Ore way or another. Peihaps theie was less drunkenness and perhaps there were some d> linker than ~ V ��������� f v������r f ���������*"***}**"* eis of labor and had not affected gen-;; <|^^p53| eral busmess, in: any ^injurious way.'V?^4&*M Birmingham was Just getting back to *> 'A*$iy\ normal condition after tbe coal miners' ^v^eU^I strike of last year.

Taking the large concerns operating mines,..blast.furnaces, steel plants and so on, one find that they are, for the most part, in favor of prohibition. Frank H. Ciockard. vice-president and general-manager of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railioad Co. which employs over 10 000 men in the Birmingham d'&tiict and is a bianch of the United States Steel coiporation, is an opep advocate of prohibition, having declared from the platform that it has a.beneficial effect on laboi An official of the AlabaraV Consolidated Coal, lion and Cfiko^k concern > employing about 8,000 meit mostly in town" when the saloons were closed but - :. ������ji���������. it k* ���������nM ���������i ������ take their .daces '1>laCeS within a r*d?U8 #i ���������**"������������������������ of ������in������������ wen im������mj .

J. C. Mahen, president of theSloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Co., does not believe In prohibition. His statement was decidedly contrary to that of the other employeis of labor. He declared that there was moie drunkenness, anions the 4000 men employed by the " company since prohibition came In than with the saloons.

In past years we have had men sitting on this toward who have been doing a large business with the hotels. This to our mind is a state of things that should be remedied. We do not allow aldermen to sell goods to the city; therefore why should we allow our license commissioners to sell goods to the hotels? For instance, supposing there is on cur license board a commissioner who does a large business wit h t he hotel s, and through an infringement of the law one of his best customers is called before the board, can we expect him to be absolutely unbiassed? He would be hardly human if he failed'to lean to the side of his customer. Our license laws should be administered impartially without fear or favor, and no interested party should have a Beat on this board. It betokens a healthy public sentiment when our business men seek of themselves to better any set of. conditions, as they have in this instance, and it behooves the electors to see that only men of unquestioned integrity are e'ected on this board. This year that opportunity is before them.

The joint fisheries case will not.be heard before the Hague tribunal till the middle of May, and the result of (Continued from page 1 attendance at the exhibition is Owing to the illness of Mr. Dixon, his paper on "How to Make Poultry Pay" was dispensed with. Mr. Breed, however, kindly consented to deliver his lecture last night instead of Thurs- day night, as announced. "How to Breed and Mate Poultry" was what Mr. Breed spoke on, which proved very interesting to those interested in work of this nature. It was not from the theoretical point that Mr. Breed enlightened his hearers, but from results of practical experience. He operates on the basis that like begets like, in that btrds of the same family being mated to each other year after year become deficient in quality and soon lose all value from an exhibitors point of view as well as for other purposes. It Is a well-known fact that birds with blemish will inbreed blemish, and those who work on the theory that to mate a bird with an infection with one that Is pure, with the idea that affection will disappear, are making a mistake, and will quickly find that the of/spring do hot carry1 the same brilliant plumage or do they compare with the properly bred stock at all for exhibition purposes. To form varied colors it is necessary to understand fully the various methods adopted by successful breeders. Mr. Breed also enlightened his hearers regarding the focd to be used at all times, the different kinds of coops which are designed for different purposes as well as different climates, and a multitudinous amount of other knowledge which is invaluable to the successful poultry raiser as well as the layman, whose hopes run high and who expects to make breeding of poultry and. game hlrds ppv not on'o their keep but handsome profits. The judges aie busy from early morning till darkness compels them to suspend operations for the day, and get through a big number of contestants. The three men judging the birds state that they have never officiated in any event where there are so many fine specimens of thoroughbred fowl. This adds to the difficulties of their tasks, as many of the birds are almost identical and it is only by diawing the finest points that they aie able to make an award. The Prize Winner*.
