THE BUSINESS METAMOR-
PHOSIS.

PHOSlS.
We had a social talk with one
of our leading business men. a
few days ago, and conversation
turned to the wonderful business
change that our section of coun-
try is now passing through
A few years ago almost all of
our farmers were doing more Or
less of buying on credit. The
stores in the different towns
were vieing with each other in
selling goods, asking 10 ques-
tions as to the time of pay
ment of any ordinary reputable
farmer. The hard times of 1892
and later on brought this easy
go-as-you.please trade condition
to a sudden halt. The utter
collapse of prices of agricultural
staples left the farmer unable to
pay his store bills, and many a
merchant between the devil and
the deep sea Of financial insol-
vency.
The farmer as the neither mill
stone felt the effect Of the panic
most severely. For him there
was only one thing to do, and
that was to economic. Neces-
sity almost forced him onto a
cash basis for groceries and
ordinary necessaries of life.
But in being compelled to pay
cash for what he buys, he also
began to inquire sharply for
prices.
Simultaneously with the above
process in the country, d Won
derful change Of business relu
tion was also going on in the
cities. A new factor, the de-
partment store, now appeared
on the scene. At first these
department stores drove almost
all stores out of existence in
their immediate vicinity. Then
they flooded the country with
enormous catalogues, offering
goods of all kinds for retail! al
wholesale prices. The conse-
quence is that local storekeepers
are now really in competition
with these big establishments,
and no more big profit, as of old,
is possible. This feature pre-
vents local dealers from running
credit accounts. The merchant
who does credit business must
charge more profit, of course, or
go under. All these*things com
bined renders it pretty certain
that hereafter the bulk of the
bulk of the business will be:done
on a cash basis. ~ !;
The establishment of cream
cries, especially, help the farm
ers to adapt themselves to this
change. With fair wheat prices,
for some time, at least. we think
the farmers are going to re-
cover, slowly, no doubt, butstill
recover, in a measure, from the
present depression: We believe.
the farmers have seen the worst
of this squeeze. But when we
look at the cities and Industrial
centres it is quite another feat:
4ure. The number Of business.
failures in the cities is on the in.
crease, and the bottom has not
been touched yet By any means.
The recent bank failure .lre but
another proof of this fact. In.
fact. all small busine sss hous essin
the cities are doomed to- extinc-.
ton. The department stores.
are driving out the small stores.
The big manuf actur plants
ere driving out their small COM
petitors. The big banks Ike
wise squeeze out the. small ones.
The farmers were the calamity
lhoWlers three q four years ago.
But they are pretty VERT

w. L. l.. STANLEY.

Although Mr.. Stanley is very
young man, and the use and tradl-
tions of the Judicial system Is to
place men of age and experience
on the Bench, it does not follow
that he is not qualified to discharge
the duties of the office, with acti-
witty and judgment. Time only
will settle the value OF his quail
fcations. Young men are often
very successful as judges. 1t is not
learning or study, or even expert
ence which makes the best Judge.
Only common sense does it. The
most, learned and experienced law
yers often make undesirable judges,
owing to the simple lack of it. A
young man who has this faculty or
gift, with a knowledge of the prin-
ciples of law, will rarely 90 wrong
In his decisions. Experience ripens
him and study greatly aids him,
but if he has this sense, he will not
be disappointing.
When President Lincoln APP
pointed Mr.. Miller of Illinois, to be
a Judge of the Supreme Court OF
the United States, the Bar all over
the country said: at is a shame te
appoint a man to such a high posi-
ton, who has been a physician fol
some years" But Mr.. Justice Mil
ler's opinions, in many great cases
have not, in the opinion of the Bar
been surpassed for good SOUND
reasoning. President Lincoln said
81 know all about him. He has got
common sense" Judge Stanley
will soon show the stuff that he il
made of.

EDITOR AND POLITICIAN.

"The object of the politician is ex-
pediency, and his duty is to adapt his
measures to the often crude, undevelOp-
ed and vascillating conception of the
nation. The object, on the other hand,
of the philosopher is truth, and his
duty is to push it to it's legitimate con-
clusion, regardless of results" H.
Lecky).

House and marked 80. K.'
In the history of journalism, it
is noticed that when the party edi
tor fails to reflect the changing,
often inconsistent, transitory OPP
inions of the hour, a roar of indig
nation arises. When that eminent
editor, Horace Greeley. the great
spokesman of the Republican party
in America, through the New York
Tribune, took independent views
on the relations of the North and
South. his party howled in wrath.
He turned on the party leaders and
called them nartisans and ''nincom
lpoops." Twenty years afterwards,
events proved that the politicians
Iwere all wrong.
AS a politician, an Office holder,
a temporary leader Of men, man,

misses, and deals, in their proper
places and endeavors to bring the
community to the broad highway
which leads to a real and substan-
ial national growth.
Nevertheless, the editors of parti-
san journals, play an important
part in political evolution. The
engineer of a steamship scrubs and
oils and runs the engine, however
old, or imperfect or out of repair it
) may be, and he leaves it to others
to improve, invent, replace or
abandon. The partisan journalist
