There cannot be anything but sympathy
for the people Of Newfoundland. where
financial and industrial conditions could
not possibly be very much worse. There
are two banks in the colony and both of
them are closed and hOpelesSly in5olyeEt;
every factory is shut ard there is no en-
pI0yment for the many who desire TO labor.
There is an absence of money. too. for
most OF what may be termed the circulate
Ing medium is In notes of the irso!vent
banks, and these promises to pay are
everywhere rejected. There is nothing
mysterious in the conditions that now dis
tress the fisheries province; warnings of
the impending danger have often been ut
tered but those who spoke did SO to deaf
ears. Newfoundland is practically de-
pendent upoT its fisheries for support.
Every spring the fishermen were supplied
with whatever outfit they needed Jy tha
merchants. the fishermen pledging in re-
turn their catch; In the settlement the mer-
chant received q profit of twenty-five per

tracted and the outcome was business
based almost entirely upon a dangerously
large amount Of promissory notes. The
executors Of recently-deceased London
financier declined to renew a lot of these
notes that had come into their possession I;
they demanded cash. and then, like a
house of cards. the banks and business
houses fell down. The number Of people
completely ruined is lainentably large
proportion of Newfoundlands population,
and there Is additional misfortune in the
fact that anything like adequate relief is
remote and improbable. 1t has been sug-
gested that annexation to Canada would
result in rapid betterment of the condi-
tions that now center at st. Johns. but, as
the New York Tribune says, "a complete
cure of the ills that now prostrate the
coioaists must be found in the adoption of
sound business methods and a more ra-
tional industrial system"
