 It is not in land alone that American money moves half the grain handlei at Winnipeg. where more wheat Is bought and sold than in Chicago. The Yankee is by no means unknown In the lumber business. At Rainy River, In Western Ontario, an American com, :. pany has bought q million dollars ssSe % built the PSi Iareest es sSw mill in the world, and is to spend two million more American dollars develop ing power at that point. The Red Deer Lumber Company, one of the largest in the Northwest, Is dominated by American money. A Minneapolis man Grain Exchange as. he would be on his native heath. The largest elevator in the worldiis now being built at Port Arthur, Ontario, by an American con- tractor. To be sure, many of these aggressive Americans are Canadian born, but they are Yankees by years of training. Shrewd. careful business men, they were first to mark the awak ening of their native land, and among the first to profit by the exceptional opportunities 1t afforded.
 And thousands there are in the mid dle walks of life, who are homestead ing, and yet more buying lands upon North of the main line of the Canadian Pacific there is wide strip of terri tory settled almost entirely ly Ameri. cans On the first day of July they gathered by hundreds at Regina to help the Canadians celebrate Dominion day, and on the Fourth came again by thous ands, and. together with the natives. who joined as heartily as the Yankees had Joined them. made the eagle scream far.

Rise 0f the Cartoon and Its Power h
 Politics.
 From the New York Mall.
 American political cariature, like 90 many ohefy modern campAign customs including .the hurrah canvass" torch- light processions and nominating con ventions. dates from aJckson's time. It had it's origin. according to Mr. Jo- seph R Bishdp. in his interesting VOL tune on "Ouf Political Drama" tscott- Thaw Company. in the opposation need cf "A new and more sraphic weapon than any previously used" to combat old Hickory's picturesque personality. The Jackson campaigners did not en- deavor to meet caricature with carica- ture," an dperhaps 1t was just as well. for the first cartoons were crude in drawing and sometimss coarse to the point of indency."
 These caricatures were based on English models, and indeed followed closely after the Italian, French and German schools. At first they were not issued as part of a perodicfal or newspaper. but appeared In the form of Autograph sheets nailed upon walls or passed about from hand to hand. New York city was their chosen homo. One of their pecuiiarities was the numerous figures employed. Another was the use of the loop" issuing from the mouth of the figure caricatured and inciosing some sentiment he Is supposed to he utteripg. There were no backgrounds in the early cartoons. and the loop was needed to make their point unmistakable.
 It was firt abandoned in England. but the American public kept on de- manding 1t. even after the backgrounds had been so elaborated as to mako its "artful aid" superfluous. For humor- ous purposes 1t still persists. In 1sse a third characteristic was introduced The Mustang Team" brings in the figures of Greeley. Bennett and Ray mond, the chief editors of the time. This" Mir. Bishop says. was the fore | runner of the oft-repeated cartoon of the present day( in which editors of our great 5ournais"i are made to ffg- | urea custom not so common, by the | way. as 1t was a score of years ago. The second stage of political carica. l tues began when the illustrated news papers took them up: this speedily
 killed the Autograph sheets. The founder and chief developer of that
 school in America was Jospeh Keppier. the young vinese artist and his work. | which was more or less experimental | between 1888 and 1873, when more | than one color tint was first used.
 reached its eliminating point in the
 campaign of 1884. Probably no more
 terribly effective series. of political ca | rfcatures," Mir. Bishop thinks, twas
 over issued than that which Puck put
 forth" in 1884: they literally struck
 terror to the supporters of MT. Blaine wherever they appeared" He believ-
 ed that Puck and Judge exerted an in-
 fiuence on the politics of sthat day
 greater than all the daily press com I bined. That influence. however, has
 waned within the past fiYe years so
 rapidly that very little of 1t remains to
 this day" The cause? The use of
 the cartoon as . weapon of daily jour-
 naiism."

The blow lasted only two minutes.
