Upton ON PROSPERITY.
Says That in This Country Every
One Is Making Piles of Money.

London, Dec. 1.-Sr Thomas Upton has con-
tributed to The Weekly Dispatch article
describing the amazing prosperity in America IN
every department of trade and commerce. He
says it is no exaggeration to declare that at
previous period of human industry has such
prosperity been known In any country Every
body in America is making money and in such
piles that the ordinary standards Of comfort and
luxury being replaced by ideals
Even responsible and we'll Informed writer's
in England" Sir Thomas continues appear
to have little ide@ of what is happening across
the Atlantic. The view appears To be that this
prosperity is merely due To financial manipuls-
tiOn. Never was there more ridiculous theory.
American prosperity is based upon the immense
expansion of solid industries, the increased pur-
chasing power of the people and the legitimate
development of agriculture and mining indus
tries. while the general confidence is such that
nobody is afraid to spend laViShly."

II would be wise course, If the government
is anxious to consolidate the empire. Canada
has suffered in the past through the ignorance
or shortcomings of British diplomatists; wit
