the PRICE Of WHEAT.

Wheat sells on this side of the line
for from II to % cents bushel more
than it sells in Canada. The reason for
this is that the United States for the
first time in history finds its supply be-
low the export basis for wheat. If we
had to compete with the Liverpool
market which sets the price for the
world, we would get from II to % cents
less for our wheat than we now receive.
The tariff on wheat. it is also stated. for
the first time in history, is of benefit to
the farmer. The fact that all the wheat
raised in this country is believed to be
required to supply the home market puts
wheat at IL premium. In former years
wheat sold for from to cents less on
this side than on the Canadian side at
points equally distant from the water.
The rate from Brandon, Man, to Fort
William, for instance, is the same as the
rate from Grand Forks to Duluth.
Brandon is nearly 100 miles west of us
and Fort William is over 100 miles east
of Duluth. The rate from Regina, Cana
da, to Fort William is the same as the
rate from Langdon to Duluth, the former
being haul of nearly 400 miles more.
If you add the cheaper rail rate to the
difference in price of wheat over there
and here you have very large margin,
fact which cannot be accounted for
alone by saying that tho supply in the
q. S. is below the export basis this year.
There is something wrong with the
statement of our Canadian friends that
the difference in prices in the two
countries is due to the fact that the U.
S. crop is light. Itseems that in Canada
they have no boards of trade which en-
able the elevators to buy on small mar
gins and sell quickly, such as we have
at Chicago, Minneapolis, and other
places. The elevator men on the other
side must buy on long margins in order
to enable them to reach market in
safety. On this side to cents is
considered good margin but in Canada
they require Is to 20. This is indeed a
long margin, too long entirely for the
pockets of the Canadian farmer, one
would think.

Langdon buyers paid SO cents: the price
of No Northern was II cents less than

PROGRESS m RUSSIA.

The press dispatches from st. Peters
burg report growing agitation in
favor of parliamentary government. A
meeting was held in Russia. under the
protection of the new secretary of the
interior. at which resolution was
adopted bya vote of los to 3 declaring
in favor of legislative body to make
the laws of tine country. One of the
principal speakers had for twenty-four
years been an exile. Meetings are being
held all over the country to give voice
to the unanimous desire of the people
for direct share in the government
The press dispatches say that the situa-
ton is unparalleled and that nothing
approaching such movement has been
permitted in Russia. The interest in
this movement is said to overshadow
even the war. and it is reported that
the liberals are hocking to st. Peters
burg from all parts of the empire. in
cluding Poland and FINLAND. The hotel
lobbles are crowded. it is said, and the
scene resembles convention times in
America. This is certainly encouraging
news from Russia. The two great OBJ
stacles to progress in Russia are lack
of education among the masses and
autocratic government. The educa-
tlonal facilities are being constantly en-
larged, and the percentage of illiteracy
constantly decreases. This, in itself. has
a great bearing upon the future of
Russia. There has been evidence also
of progress along governmental lines.
Nearly two years ago the czar issued
decree promising measure of local
self-government. In st. Petersburg
municipal election was held about
year ago with an enlarged franchise.
Since then the car has recalled the
exiles and given evidence that there is
to be change of policy in this respect.
And now comes the meeting of liberals
held under the protection of the secre-
tary of the interior, to give expression
to the desire of the people for repre-
sentative government. The war is not
yet over; so far the advantage is with
the japanese, but even If the tide
should turn the car cannot, by any
possible victory over the japanese, and
to his own fame or benefit his people as
much as he can by establishing a re-
sponsive and responsible government.
When an autocratic ruler gives away
some of his power it is q agiving that
doth not impoverish," and when he
withholds from the people that which
is rightfully theirs he is not enrichinp
himself. II the Japanese war, with the
troubles and perplexities attendant
upon it, leads the car to consider favor
ably the petition of his subjects and
admits them to . share in the response
