Premier Laurier's Remarkable View
of Alaska Boundary Dispute.

Sir Charles Tupper brought up the ques-

that the United States, in refusing to sub
NIT the subject to arbitration. we'll justi-
fed the decision Great Britain and Can
ada had reached in declining to allow the
question to go before the joint high COM
mission. He believed that the Govern
ment and commissioners Of the United
States had lost confidence In their own
claims to this strip Of disputed territory.
Sir Charles suggested a bill providing for
the protection of British and Canadian
interests by enacting that no license to
mine in the Yukon district shall be grant
Sd to any other than a British subject.
Premier Lauricr. in reply. sympathiped
with much that Sir Charles Upper had
said. Flo stated that he he'd little hope

How We Get Cheap Money.
The correspondent of the London
Statist, writing from tie West, In sum-
ming up q general review Of the fnan-
cial situation in that section, said:
Broadly, therefore, I look for cheap
money, and the greater prosperity
which is now being felt by almost all
classes Of the community to still
further stimulate trade, for the rail-
ways to obtain large trafics and large
profits, and for prices of securities to
remain high"
"Cheap money was what the West
clamored for during the campaign of
1896. The free sflverites believed TINT
the way to get cheap money was to
have open minis" for the free coinage
Of silver. Their wiser brothers, while
many Of them believed in ''open mints,"
too, yet agreed with President McKin-
ley that the best way to get cheap
money-that Is, money which would be
easily gotten by the lass of the people,
money which could be hired at a low
rate Of interest was to open the mills
for the fullest and freest employment
Of American working1nen, and thus to
put in circulation the great amount Of
money lying idle in the country, and,
by the sale Of American products
abroad, to attract foreign money into
the country. We have the open mills,
thanks to the Dingley law, and we
have money which, whether Cheap
or not-for "cheapness" depends on
howone defines the worlds quite plen-
tiful enough to make the people of the
West as we'll as the people Of all other
sections Of the country prosperous.
That is the main thing, and that is the
great thing.
