We admire the enterprise Of the Times
and efpeeialiY the number from which
the above ariicle Was clipped, containing
a.itd.d, the whole # the revised Testa-
ment. But at the same time these sreat
and entsrpri.ins journals are liable
II err, and do ns, CT the Ter
ri:ories a gr.at injustice. True We
don't "intinate that cnrn wont ripen
here" The fact is We haze superior fuel

the fact that /" It costs nearly IS much to
send wheat TO market d. 1t does 10 raisc
it What would be the use Of "adrer-
tisirq' that What difference does 1t
make, if instead Of raising 10 and Y bush
els to the acre at Sl,00 per bushel, we
rsise from % to 40 bushels, and only get
90 GEMS per bushel. Why certainly
diferance in our favor. And yet it is
fact, an indispu.able fact that our farmers
are..building themselves comfortable homes
when wheat is A. cents per bushel. Could
our Eastern neighbors do that And,
piihal our transportation facilities are
daily increasing. When one year ago
wheat was only worth E.at the same
market rates they Low receive 90 cents,
and it Will so improve from year to year,
until our Territory ranks among the veal
thiest States in the Union.
We would refer the Times TO the poet
Iaur ate, when he said
"And the par.on made it his text that week and
he said likewise,
That lie which is half truth, is ever the
blackest Of hes. >, S,,y
Thst lie which is all |, lie may be met and
taught outright,
But lie which is part truth IS = harder mat
ter tn fight"
