there is big demand for all sorts OF
iron and steel products OF the more rea
sonahle prices,and no signs OF cessation
are yet in sight.
The worst as to the money market
seems to have been anticipated. Crop
demands are close at hand. vet bankers
show no anxiety about meeting them.
Should money rates advance much
further gold imports would simply be
FASTENED. Very soon produce bills will
be in better supply and tend to weaken
sterling bills. London shows more in
terest in American securities than for
many months. ad as soon as the dis
trust developed by our excessive pro-
noting has disappeared we may expect
better demand from that quarter if
prices do not advance too rapidly. A
much more confident feeling prevails
on the Street, for stocks have passed
from weak into strong hands. Invest
ment purchases have been liberal, and
indications are that the larger local in
terests are working in the direction of
higher prices"

It's impress is sure to be felt in the

need for the Pulitzer school. The tend
ency of journalism the past few years
has been In the direction of sensational

responsibility in reporters, and the
Pulitzer school will tend to swing the
pendulum back to conservatism.

Canada's foreign trade more thar
doubled the past seven years. The
increase was about 1903 per cent. The
increase of the United States foreign
trade during the same time has been
about IS per cent. Canada's trade for
the last fiscal year was s467, ,637, ,049,
which reckoning on heF population of
5,750,OOO was sS1 a head. The United
States trade was s2.445.SS9,552, which
reckoning on a population of $4,000. 900
was little less than s31 head Can
ada's exports amounted to about s37 a
head, ours to s1S. This showing of Can
ada, figures the New York Tribune,
which observes that reasons may be as
plentiful as blackberries, comes right
out and admits that New York's trade
is decreasing as Canada's increases,
1t is pointed out that the process dates
from the development OF he Canadian
canal system and the neglect OF the
canal system that connects New York
with the Great Lakes.

SHRINKAGE IN SECURlTIES

Henry C.ews is out with a statement
declaring the recent decline in stocks
was intesihed by artificial means. A
compilation has been made showing
that this years shrinkage in securities
amounted to 265O millions on a capital
ization of 6034 millions, compared with
a shrinkage of 1900 millions and cap
italization of 1868 millions in 1893, the
year of general financial disaster. Thus
IN year Of general prosperity there
has been contraction double that in
CURED in year of adversely, only ten
years ago. Mr.. Clews' analysis of the
situation is generally hopeful. He says
THE country is practically certain
of large volume of business this seas
on. Our farmers are likely to be pros
porous for another year; because, while
crops are not particularly heavy, prices
are high and afford good profits. La
Dor is also well employed at good wages
Manufacturers are feeling the high
cost of production somewhat, and there
is likely to be less expenditure for ex-
iravagances than when the boom"
was at its height, yet the country, as a
whole, Is in satisfactory condition. Our
basic industry the iron trade, is in
better shape than supposed. 1t is true
abnormal profits are disappearing, but

A genius has been figuring out how
many ancestors a man has. First, he
takes your father and mother-that
makes two human beings. Each Of

eight more human beings So he goes
on back fifty-six generations which
brings him to the time Of Jesus Christ

The FREE Trade poarloN

Is Great Britain welded TO free
trades' asks the Victoria Colonist. I'VE
should say that II we consider the
length of time free trade has been the
accepted dogma in Great Britain, its
position is decidedly weak, or IL could
not have been shaken as II has been by
the tour de force OF Mr.. Chamberlain.
Look at the length OF time it took free
trade to conquer British policy, To one
portion of the people il was an unhaard
OF atrocity, TO another, an mhoped for
ideal, but for long time no part Of
the people ever considered that II
could be put In practice, Through the
force of circumstances 1t made its way,
however, Great Britain was gradually
changing from self-sustainng agri-
cultural country TO manufacturing
country. which consumed more food
products than it produced, Free trade
was accepted by the mass Of the people
simply as means Of obtaining cheaper
food, 1t is more than questionable
whether food became really cheaper
through the removal OF import duties
o rthrough the exploitation of distant
areas of corn-producing country rem
dered available by improved means of
communication, However that may be.
free trade was accepted as the cause
of cheap and abundant bread. and con-
sequently the cause of British indus
trial expansion, and became as firmly
fixed in the mind of the people as, APP
parently. any political dogma ever has
been. What We fail to understand Is,
why its advocates should be in such an
unseemly state OF fear the moment 1t
has been attacked as the last word in
political and economic science. II what
they believe of free trade is true, and
they can demonstrate It. why should
they be so much afraid, and why should
they point with such glee to elections
which seem to show that Mr.. Chamber
lain's ideas have not yet been assimi-
lated by the mass of the British elec-
torate? The doctrine they believe in
took long years to make the slightest
headway with popular opinion. Why
should they be jubiIaht, II that doctrine
is true, because the new Imperial idea
has not destroyed it in less than three
months? The attitude of free traders
in Great Britain does not appear to
US to be an evidence of the strength
Of their position, They seem to claim
an outrage in the, attack upon a dog
ma, as If it did not require to be de-
Tended upon grounds of reason and
common sense, but was to be believed
in by everyone upon penalties. They
do not meet the arguments of the I'M
perial unionists, they do not combat !
them. THY only reassert an abstract
which apparently fitted the
facts of sixty years ago, and shrek
with rage at the bare suggestion that
1t may not fit he facts of today"

The factional fight of Johnson and
Zimmerman in the Democratic party of
Ohio knocks into pie the reasoning
which the poet Milton put into the
mouth of one of his characters. and
1t was considered downright good reas-

Where there is then no
good for which to strive, no strife can
grow up there from faction"

Democratic nomination in Ohio under
present prosperous conditions is not ap-

GENERAL MILES ON ROADS

II is announced that Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, just retired from active service
in the army, is about to embark in the
movement for systematic building OF
good roads. No man can have keener
appreciation OF the need Of good roads
than he who has had such long experi-
ence in the activities of war, the NOV
ing of large bodies of men and heavy
cQuipage, as General Miles has had.
1t may be also said that no work in
which the General has ever engaged
could be more laudable than that of
spanning the country in all directions
with decent highways, and If he shall
only make a commencement of suffi-
ciently permanent and desirable char
acter so that 1t vii be continued to
gradual completion, the people of the
great west viii rise up and sing peans
in his praise.
One difficulty in the way Of extensive
road building of permanent and sub
stantial character in the United States
has been the prosperous condition of
its people and the high rate of wages
labor receives. No local authorities
could possibly think of hewing out a
smooth and comparatively level road
through the mountain sides of this
coast as has been done in Norway and
Sweden. And no local authorities had
the work done in those countries either.
1t was done by the government and the
work served two purposes. 1t provided
the desired roads and it provided the |
people with bread. The same is true of |
the roads that have been built through !
the bogs and over the mountains in |
Ireland Some of them are gigantic |
undertakings, but the government had |
thousands Of starving people "a starva-
tion which its own laws had made) and |
the roads were needed. So the work
was provided at small wages and the
great enterprises were carried through
TO completion.
1t has been pretty we'll established in
this country, that good, permanent, level !
roads cannot be made by local effort
or by hap-hazard. The people of the
United States have expended millions
OF dollars in so-called road building.
but by reason Of its desultory, unsys-
tematic character we still have lines of
clay ridges on the lower lands that
would mire rabbit, and onthe higher
elevations a series of winding, narrow.
stony break-neck trails that are unsafe 7
for man or beast.
The building of main roads must be
upon an extensive scale and
must be done under a system controlled
md supported by the nation and the
ieveral states working together 1t
AN never be done by counties and road |
nstricts. These may build and main
ain short crossroads. but the general
system Of trunk roads, in order to be
What the country needs must be kept
Up by national'and state forces.
Perhaps General Miles is just the man :
head movement which will ulti-
nately bring good roads in d practical, !
cientifc manner If so. all hail Cen /
