Canada's Noisy Competition.

From all the fuss they have made
about it It might have been Inferred that
during recent years Canadians had about
driven American agricultural exports out
Of the British market. At any rate a
listener to the noise would conclude that
Canadian exports to Great Britain were
bounding up at an unparalleled rate.
From a summary Of the report Of Con-

pears that so far there has been more
noise than substance in Canadian claims
Notwithstanding the extraordinary eff

more sharply contracted. The stress of

matters will right themselves eventually.
When the figures for 1901 are compiled,

MERGE we have done more than In the
previous year. The one item OF over
shadowing Importance on the reverse side
is the enormous falling off in exports of
corn. We did not have the corn to sell
abroad. The coming year will see great
change. We are already beginning to catch
up, and will finally wipe out the unfavora-
able showing due to the corn crop failure
OF one year.
The entire output Of the rail mills of
the country is sold for a year ahead. The
quantity of steel needed for new build
ings will be enormous. The railroads will
continue their policies of improvement and
betterment on a large scale. From these
items alone there is the promise /of an
other year OF great activity, and these
might be duplicated in many other lines.

4 Business Question.

There is one reciprocity proposition
now before the United States senate that
is a plain business question, so far az
is nothing academic, nothing of a heated
air nature about the Newfoundland reel
procity treaty. 1t is a plain question Of
whether we will make an advantageous
trade with Newfoundland after q fair and
square offer has been made by that Brit
ish dependency.
Newfoundland offers us free list that
comprises agricultural implements, all
kinds of mining machinery, corn and
many other articles, and a nominal tariff
on flour, meats and some other articles.
The corn and flour items, especially the
-four, are Of great interest to the north
west. Already we have good -four trade
with Newfoundland, and we are now Of
fered the alternative of extending it or
losing it. 1t is certain that unless this
reciprocity treaty is ratified Newfoundland
will throw herself into the arms Of Can
ada commercially If not politically, and
then our foodstuffs trade with Newfound.
land will come to an end.
The flour makers Of the whole country
and the provision people, too, ought tc
bring such pressure to bear on the SEN
ate that it will promptly rattfy this
treaty. Our northwestern senators should
make the treaty their special business. II
the Newfoundland treaty cannot be
adopted, there is no hope for improved
trade relations with other countries with
out political revolution.

OTHER PEOPLES NOTIONS
Defends Football.
To the Editor of The Journal.

/
1 have read with interest &C. s. T.'s''
views on Evils of Football" as set forth
In r h ] ournal Of Dec. Is, and while
certainly there Is grain Of truth in the
arguments made against the sport. at the
same time it seems to me the writer has
exaggerated its evil effects.
That it is strenuous game there can
be no question, but Is it not true that the
enthusiasm universally bestowed upon 1t
night be turned to far mere immoral, and
far more entirely useless ends?
AS to holding the game, per Sc, respon-
sible for the widespread indulgence of the
gambling mania can this be fairly done?
The propensity Of gamblers to stake
something Of value on the caprice OF
chance is Unborn, and believe that this
proclivity will exercise itself in some way
regardless of what the chance itself may
consist Of And this is not at all to be
taken as a defense of betting. But the
cigar store slot machine is more to be
condemned than a wager on the results Of
a football game. ...-..
I also think that the university authori-
ties would controvert the contention that
devotion to the game detracts seriously
from the students activity in the attain
ment Of knowledge. And I do not know
but that the education of the body is
equally as important as the education Of
the mind. One depends upon the other,
and shall we not rather accept our young
men from the colleges with rudy faces,
quick pulsing blood, and vigorous muscles
with a good mental development, than
with extraordinary scholarly attainments
and devitalized and exhausted bodies? OF
what value to humanity is their learning
without the ready good nature and optin-
ism which comes from perfect health?
There is certainly much to be said on
both sides of this question and it IS one
that is engaging the consideration Of
thinking men to-day. Among those who
have reached the most conservative and
cemmonsense conclusions may be num-
bered Rev. DR.. Martin D. Hardin, D. D.,
pastor of Grace Presbyterian church Of
this city, and approaching the Thickness
of the subject, the Y oung Mems Christian
association have requested DR.: Hardin to
speak Sunday at their auditorium on
Tenth street. on 1.-THE Football Man." I
urge every one disposed to consider the
matter seriously to listen to DR.. Hardin's
ideas on the subject.

In the simple early days Of the republic,
when the theocracy Of Massachusetts, and
Connecticut still tinged our life and the
minister was a person to whom all did
reverence, the power and influence of the
office made up for small pay, and dona-
ton parties, and frequent friendly gifts
helped out the small salary in no little
way. We know Of one old time minister
who raised an excellent family Of six
children on a salary of 5000 year and
considered himself we'll off at that. Rut
to-day the minister is simply profess

A Brighter Outlook.

The week ends with sentiment in the
financial world decidedly more favorable
than at the close last Saturday. The
wave Of pessirnism that started in tho
east was then sweeping over the country,
Business men are beginning to be dis
turbed by fear Of the spread OF tight
money conditions beyond New York, and
with the Venezuelan imbroalio susrest-
Ing possibilities Of unsettling cornplica-
tons, 1t needed only the alarming views
given out as emanating from men high
In financial circles to strain the situation
almost to the breaking point. On Satur-
day last general sentiment, in so far as
confidence in the maintenance of prosper
GUS conditions is concerned, was at low
potnt-the lowest for years. Business men
were asking themselves If it were really
the case that the country had passed the
very crest of the wave, and II they might
reasonably look for recession and con-
traction to follow. Bankers were turning
ltra-conservative for the time. and were
advising caution on the part Of their GUS
toners and curtailnent Of loan commit
ment was suggested. In one rush this
wave Of unfavorable report spent its force
and passed, and while there remains a
trace of it, still, in the country's great
money center, the feeling outside New
York Is favorable as ever. It il the opin-
ion Of competent students Of conditions
