Rule by Peace, Not War.

We cannot approve of this doctrine in
one place unless we are willing to apply
it everywhere. If there is poison in the
blood of the hand it VIII ultimately reach
the heart. It is equally true that forcible
Christianity, if planted under the Ameri-
flag in the far-away Orient, will
sooner or later be transplanted upon
American soil. If true Christianity con-
sists in carrying out in daily lives
the teachings of Christ, who will say that
we are commanded to. cfvflize with dyna-
mite and proselyte with the sword. He
who would declare the Divine will must
prove his authority either by Holy Writ
or by evidence of a special dispensation.
The command go We into all the world
and preach the gospel to every creature
has no gatling gun attachment. When
Jesus visited a village Of Samaria and
the people refused to receive Him, some of
the disciples suggested that fire should
be called down from Heaven to avenge
the insult: but the Master rebuked them
and said: Eye know not what manner of
spirit We are of; for the Son of Man is
not come to destroy mems lives but to
save them" Suppose he had said: I'VE
will thrash them until they understand
who We are" how different would have
been the history of Christianity. Com

THAT GOTH CENTURY.

Brother Deacon of the st. Vincent New
Era is in trouble. He is town clerk over
there, and dosn't know how to properly
express the age of a child eleven months
old, at its death, on the state death
blanks, and appeals to us for assistance.
There are two methods, Bro. Deacon,
either of which is correct. First, the
child was 0 years and IL months old, OF
second, it died just as it completed the
11th month ofits 1st year.
Speaking Of persons ages the usual
method is the first. though it is very
commonly expressed, the second way
In reckoning the place in books as "Vol
l, Chap. II, Verse s." the current issue o.
newspapers as "New Era, Vol. XVI. No
A." or the date in the Christian era as
''Tanuary 18th, 19O0," the second method
is customarily used but can be expressed
equally as well by the first method, ex
cept in the case of the book. Thus the
age of the New Era is Is years and A
weeks and the time elapsed since the
Christian era is 1899 years and 12 days;
according to the dates printed on the
title page of last weeks New Era. In
the case of the book 'Vol. l, Chap. II,
Verse s." we know of no other way o
expressing it as the element of time does
not come in. Strictly speaking the news.
paper is numbered and PACED like a
book, but as volumes and numbers are
coincident with years and weeks, or days,
the figures also represent time.

A NEUTRAL SENTIMENT.

We believe the sentiment of the peo.
pie Of the United States, as whole, be-
tween the Beers and British is largely
neutral. To most people there are rea-
sons for this sentiment on both sides. In
some respects the present war resembles
the war for independence in 1776. Not
as some people argue, in causes, but
rather in the fact that the Beers are COM
paratively small and weak, that they are
fighting for independence, and for their
own country. Besides this resemblance,
tits natural for Americans to sympathise
with the weaker side. On the other
hand, Great Britain is to majority of
Americans the mother country. 1t is an
English speaking country whose institu-
tons, civil, moral and religious are like
our own, and during our own war of the
last year was clearly and distinctively
our friend, and rendered us services that
should not and will not soon be Tor
gotten. AS to the causes of the war
there is also feeling that both sides
erred, and both were obstinate, though
if both erred, it almost necessarily fol-
lows that both were in some respects
right.
Now that they have resorted to arms
only the sword can solve the issues, and
it seems by the pages ofhistory there are
some issues, like that involved in our
own civil war, can only be SO settled.
The Boer- British war is not ours, We
can all sorrow with the defeated in either
case. even if some can at the same time
rejoice with the victorious.

not sell it to them. Suppose we could
let them have 15O, 600, 600 bushels, which

not sell it to them. Suppose we could
let them have $50, ,O00, 600 bushels, which
is very large surplus-the average for
ten years has been about 81, ,00O, 900 bu-
shells live could sell them one bushel
per capita, it would take 100000 bu-
shells to supply China and Japan alone,
to say nothing of the Straits Settlements
and other countries having large popu-
lation. " Suppose the trade with
these people to amount to one copper
cent per capita for each day in
the year. That would amount with
China alone to "a, 600, 900 day-nearly
81. 500, 600, 600 year. We couldn't be-
gin to furnish 1t to them. We havn't the
surplus. A year ago you could
buy nails for s1'25 keg; now they are
1926. You all know lumber has gone
up and all the other articles of prime
necessity on the prairie farm. Fuel has
advanced; everything made OF iron has
! advanced. But your crop has not adj
/ vanced because it is sold in open compe-
tition with the product of the world. And
until we get other people to eat wheat it
will not advance, and you will go on
hoping against hope. You will not get
a high price for your wheat until wheat
is made scarce. The above figures
l have already given illustrate it perfect
ly. A shortage of only 0,000, GOO BUSH
els in one years crop raised the price of
the whole many times the value Of the
shortage.
If we could increase our export to the
Orient by SO. 1000, 600 bushels and reduce
our export to Europe SO, 600, 600 bushels.
haven't the slightest doubt thakit would
advance the price of wheat we do send
to Europe Is or 20 cents.

LOW WHEAT PRICES.

President James ]. Hill of the Great
Northern railway on Wednesday deliver
ed an address in st. Paul, before the
State Agricultural Society of Minnesota,
the annual meeting of which is being held
at the state capital. From this address,
which is full of many points of interest,
and which is largely on the question Of
the carrying trade, we make extracts OF
some. parts which answer the question
so often asked at the present time 'sWhy
is wheat low when everything else is
high?" and also in part what remedy Mr..
Hill proposes.
FIVE are to continue turning out pro.
ducts we must find markets. As have
already said, we sell 60 or 70 per cent of
the total to one country. If for any rea-
son this country was not able to buy
from us our people would very quickly
realize the real situation they are in. n
Under these conditions we may find our
se)ves-as we did in the latter part of
1895 and 1897-against low price OF
wheat, SO low that it will not be profit
able to cultivate it. And when this is so
this section suffers because so many peo-
pie are interested in the soil and in this
one crop.
Where can we sell our crop. In Eu-
rope, or France, or Italy or Austria, or
Germany we are met with hostile legisla-
tion. We are not welcome. To take
our wheat to Russia would be like carry
ing Goals to Newcastle. They have a
surplus to sell.
lfone-third of the people of the wAld
only are wheat eaters and the other two
thirds live on rice or maize or rye, we
must find our markets with people who
are not now consumers ofour crop. We
must have more people to consume the
stuff we now produce. 1t is not an ex-
pertinent. believe that wherever
wheaton flour has been introduced to
any race, with the single exception of the
black race, they are from that time on
ready to consume it. Take our own
American Indians. Once they have had
it the Indians want flour more than any,
thing else and will go further to get it.
Nexcept possibly firewater. The Asiatic
rice eaters are as fond of flour as the
white race and as ready to eat it if they
can get it at a fair price.
The question may arise, how can peo-
.ple who work at wages of from 10 to Is
cents day and have lived for centuries
on just such wages-how can they buy
-four which must be carried across
