As long as we remain on the single
gold standard we are very likely to have
too low prices for farmers; and, the
worst part of the matter is, that the
prices will not remain fixed where they
are Gold being limited in quantity and
business always increasing, prices will
go lower. 4 fixed price. even though
low, would be far better than this con-
slant falling of prices. OF course. there
may come in, at times. other modifying
causes like failure of crops, or war,
and, possibly, TO some extent, new
protective policy, if made to apply TO
the farmer. But these are the excep-
tons which prove the rule.-Western

A REPUBLICAN ACHIEVEMENT.
Making Enemies of Foreign CONNER
cimI Relations,


ciaI Relations.
The denunciation by England of the
commercial treaties with Germany and
Belgium clears the way to an acceptance
of Canada's offer of preferential trade
arrangements. Although the scheme
of customs union for the British en-
pire is dead. it may be possible for
the colonies and the mother country
to cultivate trade with each other by
mutual favors denied to other countries,
and this is the experiment that Is about
to be tried in connection with the COM
merce of Canada.
The United States is not in a position
TO object to any arrangement that Eng
land and Canada may conclude between
themselves, but it is rather annoying
to reflect that this reapproachment be-
tween Great Britain and her principal
colony, involving rs it necessarily does
some injury to our interests on both
sides of the Atlantic, is the fault of
our own politicians. The republican
party has always displayed DISPOSE
ton toward Canada which, in view Of
the Importance to this continent Of
close and friendly relations between
It's parts, IL Is Haruly 100 muen 10 Cali
reasonable. 1t has persistently done
everything in its power to prevent the
Americanization of Canada and rivet the
unnatural bonds between the dominion
and q country 5000 miles away. The
present Canadian government came into
power as the representative of the poll
icy of friendly relations and unfettered
trade with the United States, and it
was not until rebuffed by our Dingley
politicians that it undertook TO favor
England at our expense. If it is good
craftsmanship for this country to turn
its nearest neighbors into commercial
rivals and possible enemies, the re-
publican party can put one long mark
to It's credit-N Y Journal.

Consumers are early learning

DRY. Prices of all necessaries are go

increase in the income of wage-earners.
New York grocers have advanced the
price of sugar six-tents of a cent a
pound. This is just starter. From
this increase the sugar trust viii reap
a reward of $25. 0oO.0 900, as the Dingley
bill intended it should. There has also
been an advance of from ten to rs per

Logging Railroads,

Time was when the logs were drawn
over roads OF snow and Ice on the great
rude sledges. to the banks OF some
river, drawn out on the Ice, and left
until the springtimc. when they would
be located down stream to the mills. In
some places the system Is still In vogue.
but In large measure all this has been
changed. Logging railroads have been
built Into the forests, enabling the own
ers OF Pine lands to reach forests far
from any stream. Spurs from the main
branch OF the road are built out like the
fingers OF an enormous hand clutching
at the defcnseless pines, After tor
