MONEY IS SCARCE.

Money is scarce in the eastern banks,
and the opposition papers point the fin
ger Of scorn at prosperity" "when
money cannot be borrowed at the banks"
The solution is simple. There are two
periods in financial history when money
cannot readily be borrowed;one, in times
of financial disaster, and the other in
times of financial prosperity.
There is about as much money in the
world one year as another, except that
the volume is gradually increasing and
therefore there is more money now than
in 1893. In times of depression, money
ca,.'t be borrowed because the capitalist
fears to lose and will only lend on the
very best security and sparingly at that.
In times ofprosperity the capitalist will
lend his money on almost any kind oi
security orpromise, with the result tina,
he soon lends all his money and hence
has none to lend.
This year it is also difficult to find a
man to do days work around ones
house or shop. We presume that oul
friends on the other side of the fence will
also point the finger of scorn at such a
state of affairs and say do you call i,
prosperity when we cannot find man
to hire to bank up the house or saw a
cord Of wood?'

Of prosperity.
That the home market, however, for
wheat will in many ways be a better
market. needs no argument. Whatever
the surplus that may come from other
countries in the future, we will always
have the cost Of the ocean freight in our
favor, which now is just SO mnch against
us as based on Liverpool prices.
These ideas are not intended as pro-
phecy or leading to any particular con-
clusions as to future prices but just as
remarks on the general subject, which
our readers may think over and use as
may seem to them best. In our opinion.
the future of wheat raising is bright.
Civilization means more artisans, more
wheat-eaters, as we'll as wheat-producers,
and the world is rapidly being civilized.

In this weeks Pink Paper there is an
excellent editorial on the conditions tha,
make the price of wheat. While we may
not accept all Of the reasons given, yet
the general idea that our surplus largely
governs the price is quite true. But if
the Pink Paper will turn back to its files,
and to the files Of other demo.pop papers
OF two or three years ago. it will find
that, itself, all demo-pop papers and
Messrs Coin, Bryan and other shining
lights on that side OF the house, one and
all, denied the ideas in this weeks Pink
Paper editorial. "The crime of '73 was
what allied wheat and everything else.
Double the dollars and you double the
prices" was the war cry of the party Of
parts that voted for Bryan.

WHEAT CONDITIONS.

Twenty years ago noted economist
proved by tables of statistics that in a
few years the United States would have
no surplus, but would consume at home
all the wheat that could be raised. That
the increase in population would be
more than sufficient to absorb the wheat
surplus.
While this was true as to past history,
the writer did not take into considera-
ton the wonderful rapidity with which
these vacant lands OF Minnesota, Dakota
and Pacific states weuld be settled, and
the still more wonderful fertility of the
virgin soil.
The fact remains that while we still
raise surplus, yet the present surplus is
raised on this new land. Deduct the
crop raised on land first plowed within
twenty years in the United States and we
doubt if there would be a surplus.
On the other hand, looking to the
future, there exists in this country no
more large areas fit for the production of
wheat. The only extensive area of such
ground remaining on the continent is in
the Canadian northwest, whose crop of
course will be amalgamated with that Of
the U. S. and will tend to keep up the
surplus accordingly; though when all
cultivated it will not be Of such quantity
as to affect the surplus to very large
extent.
However, while we may in the near
future, be able to consume all our own
product the markets of the world will in
all probability find a surplus in the new
countries opening and being opened in
Asia and Africa and the gradually in
creasing area devoted to wheat in South
America, and therefore the fact that we
consume our surplus may not have the
effect on wheat pricesrthat it would have
had twenty years ago, when this country
{ was looked to almost alone to supply
the annual European deficit. -. ~
In the immediate future, if prosperity
continues, the local demand will increase
to some extent but mostly through inn
migration. Factories, workshops and
new industries will undoubtedly cause
a demand for labor that can only be sup,
piled from Europe. The wheat crop is a
peculiar one, in that the demand in times
Of prosperity is not but little greater than
in adversely.
A man in this country who gets one
dollar day will buy nearly if not quite
as much -four as he will when his wages
are double; and just now we see the re-
suit. While wheat remains at about the
average price, many other farm products
such asbeef, cotton, wool, dairy pro-
ducts, FAX, etc, have gone away up: for
Z the reason that that the laboring man

It's the beginning of the new century
that is causing the discussion around
town this week. Here is question or
two that may clear it up to some minds.
How long after the beginning of the
christrian era is this date Dec. 31st, A..
D., u? How long after the beginning
is this date, dec. 31st, A. D., 1OG'l
How long after the beginning is this
date, "Dec. 31st, 1907? In other words,
don't look for the beginning of the next
century, but find the end Of this century.
Nearly all the confusion in this matter
arises from the fact that Dec. 81. 1900
and January 1st, 1901 are not separate
periods Of time but run together at the
twelve O'Clock midni ght between them.
However, whether you believe or. not,
this century ends with a ."0O''just as the
first and all succeeding centuries. have,
and the new century won't begin until
after this one closes at twelve o'clock
midnight Dec. 31st, A. D., 1900.
Another confusing idea in this matter
is that I'VE reckon our own ages by the
cardinal numbers one, tao, three, ETC.,
while we use the ordinal method TO count
the age Of the world, first, second, third,
etc. Thus the age ola child might be
spoken Of as one year, six months and
four days, but that same time written as
q date line for the Christian era would be
written July 4th, A. p, 90 and be prop
erly read as ''the seventh month and

Pacific is offering the people in this va
cinity to enable them to visit there homes

farmer and the merchant have money

that there will be large movement to
eastern Canada this season. The rate of

low and when you consider that it comes
but once year and that it enables you
to renew again your -aquaintances with
familiar places and loved faces, it does
not require much consideration to de-
eide that the trip shall be made.
