Opportunities and Preparedness

The present is a time Of great oppOrtu-
mites. 1t Is testing the preparedness Of d
large number of men. They see just the
openings for which they have waited for
years, but they find too often and too late
that they are not prepared to take advan-
tage of tnem. Men. and especially young
men. are too apt to argue that all they
need is the opportunity. The prepared
ness. they imagine. will come Of itself
They find out their mistake when some
quiet man who has spent years in thor
oughly drilling and training himself steps
in and takes advantage OF the opening
for which many have waited but have not
prepared themselves.

Waterville Mail: Aroostook farmers
for the last few years have been grad .
ually learning the lesson that it does
not pay to carry all ones eggs in a
single basket and have turned their at :
tention from raising potatoes only, to
the production of other crops Last
year, in defiance of the sentiment of the
Hon. Mr.. Wiggin and a few others who
believed that the refusal of the Aroos
took farmers to raise barley for Frank
Jones would have an effect in reducing
the number of crimes caused by drunk
enness. they sowed some barley but did
not find it as profitable as they had
hoped. and this year they are to try
wheat raising more largely than ever
before More or less wheat has been
raised in AroostoOk for Sc eeral years
and within comparatively recent
period several rolling mills have been
built and put in operation. The -four
turned out by these mills is said to suf
fer little by comparison with that from
Western mills, the slight inferiority in
quality, if any, being much more than
offset by the less cost of the home
grown product as compared with that
of the imported article. The farmers
of Aroostook are wise in undertaking.
to raise their own wheat, especially at
this time when flour has risen to a
figure higher than since during and
Immediately following the Civil War.
Keeping at home the money that West
ern grown and manufactured flour
would cost them, and selling their
potatoes and other farm produce at a
remunerative figure. the Aroostoolx
husbandman ought to bask comfort
ably in the smiles of fortune for the
coming year.

The Amount Of Gold.


land rate of discount from four per
cent to 31a per cent is important as
having a bearing on American securi-
ties as it represents return of ease
to the London money market after
the reverse condition for a long time
past. The effect. says Henry Clews,
is to remove the necessity for the re-
turn of American securities. London's
continuous selling being mainly caused
by the scarcity of money and the high
rate of interest prevailing since the
Bank Of England advanced its rate to
four per cent The favorable change
in the money market abroad is now
likely to bring in Europe as a buyer
of our securities hereafter. This,
therefore, is bull factor of no small
dimensions in our stock market.
The Bank of England's gold holdings
as recently as two months ago We're
e29 100000, which placed the bank re-
serve down to about 3IA per cent. The
gold now in the Bank of England
amounts to c37,2 900, an increase Of
about $3S, 900, which puts up the re-
serve to about 47A per cent. For the
Bank of England to accumulate so
much gold in so short a time. espec-
tally during a period when this coun-
try was drawing so heavily from
Europe, is notable fact, and goes to
show the immense increase in the
worlds output of gold which is begin
ming to tell both in Europe and in this
country. Last year it amounted to
over $3.50, 900, 900 The New York banks
now hold in gold $l65, oO0, 000--the larg
est amount ever held by them; and to
show that these large gold holdings by
the banks are not at the expense of the
United States treasury, it must be
stated that the government now has
on hand $3.50, 900 900, which is also cor
respondingly large.
AS figures make the strongest argu-
ment, what facts can the silver advo-
Gates adduce to meet this? Who wants
Accent silver dollars when there is SO
much gold in sight to be had for the
asking at the counters of the United
States treasury and the banks? AS
matter of fact, these institutions are
now gratified to have anyone call for ii
and take it away, as they are overbur-
dened with it. If this gold production
continues at the present ratio for two
or three years more. there will then
be 80 much of it as to not only com
pletely drown out the silver advocates,
but to make them appear absolutely
idiotically silly, especially on their 16
to / ratio basis, when it is now at
least 80 to /. This showing in the es-
timation of reasonable people makes
silver n dead issue and beyond resur
rection Quite a large portion of the
increase of the Bank of England re-
serves really comes from the English
colonies and is new production. The
bank made a strong bid for it when
their gold reserves got down to low
ebb by agreeing to pay interest on all
gold forwarded to the bank during the
time occupied in it's transportation.

1t is almost year since the war be
