THE FARMERs GREAT GOOD LUCK

The American farmer. the bulwark
of all our wealth. viii this year reap
something approaching a fair share of
the rewards for his toll. This time the
situation is such that the bull move
ment in wheat will benefit him as much
as the Spectator.
This is not always the case by any
means. Often the most notable ad-
vance of the year, based upon the crop
totals Of this country and of Europe
and India. comes at a time when the
farmers have already marketed their
product. and when wheat is in the
hands Of the exporters. millers or spec
ulators. But this time the farmer is
right in it. and the trade Of the country
at large is sure to feel the benefcent
effects arising from this fact.
That the farmer is fully awake to his
opportunity is conclusively shown by
his action in the premises. His crop
is harvested. and he has it in position to
ship to market and 'egS]'5Aat once If
he sees fit, but he d IA fit. He
thinks wheat is goi ~ and he
accordingly holds HI until that
moment when it sec 4 aim that the
golden cereal is at op notch. Then
he will ship and self, and the country
merchant and the city merchant and
the banks AID the commerce Of these
United States generally will feel the
effects Il the farmers prosperity.
Thu is right. and it is to be hoped
thaw the farmer will be wise enough to
size the market up just right and take
full advantage Of it. He deserves this
unexpected windfall arising from un-
promising crop condition abroad. He
is the producer, and the producer
should always have a seat at the first
table when anything particularly good
is on the bill Of fare.
3ut in the full tide Of his prosperity
he should remember thaJ old Mother
Nature. and not the Republican party,
is entitled 10 thanks for that prosper
,ity. In returning thanks for blessings
received, it is always just as well that
the party rigbtfully entitled to the
thanks should be plainly recognized.
Mother Nature is the benefactor in this
instance. and the farmer is naturally
in closer communion with nature than
with the caterers for trust prosperity
who now stand at the head of the Re
publican party.

Is now being worked up gets under full
Roadway. They lose Judgment and
soberness and become intoxicated with
the prospects of quick fortune max
ing.
1t is unavailing to direct their atten-
ton to the wrecked estates and families
of Europe as a result Of the late
Kafar craze. And yet it need surprise
no one if the Alaskan speculation be-
comes as foolish as the Kafir rush. OF
course there is gold on the Yukon, and
probably there is more Of it in limit
ed area than was ever before found.
But that doesn't signify that there is a
fortune for everybody who goes to
Alaska or who invests in Alaskan pros
poets. The lucky ones. following the
rules Of experience in such affairs, viii
be about enc in every twenty who go
there or who intrust their money to
others for investment.
It is TO be hoped that the people will
heed a timely warning and hold on TO
their money a long while before CIV
ing il up freely for a flyer" in Klon-
dykes. As a rule. there is more profit
in industrial investments at home than
in mining investments anywhere.
Klondykes viii be no exception. The
lamb in nineteen cases out Of twenty
will surrender his fleece.

tax Of about 80 percent impos-
On everything the American pros
neetor takes with him into the Cana
clan part of the Yukon gold territory,
the annual license fee charged for the
privilege Of working a claim, and the
percentage exaCted on al the product
NJ the claim do not satisfy the Toronto
Mail. The right of the Canadian gov
eminent to make those eXactions is in
subitable. although some loud bowls
IRE raised on this side of the line on
account Of them. The propriety Of
some of the exactiOns or of the manner
IN which they are collected in some in
Itances may be questioned, but there
Is no good ground for taking serious
9ffense. The Toronto paper thinks the
government has not gone far enough.
From the gold fields Of the KlOndyke,
II thinks Canada should get more than
a revenue. Il says; Capital is what
We want. There are stores Of it in the
Klondyke gravels. Let the gathering
Of it be limited to cur own people, and
the benefit will soon be seen in all
kinds of enterprise. We should stop
the movement Of il in tons to the
United States, from which, under the
Dingley bill, none Of it viii find its
way back to this country for the pro-
duct of our industry"
As the Toronto Mail is a bitter and
implaoable enemy to the present Can
adian administration the mere sugges-
ton Of such a hoggish policy in its
columns is the best assurance that its
adoption by that administration is ex-
tremely unlikely. so there is no occa-
sion to get up an excitement about it.
