Whereas, the gross amount of certain
products for the present year may not
be as great as last, their value is con-
siderably more and our farmers have
been reaping the benefit of the in
crease. In fact, we are now exporting
nearly $5.000000 worth a day, and this
excellent business must continue or
the whole country will suffer. | don't

everywhere, Europe being practically
no better off in this respect than
America. The great newspapers of
the country print a lot about the bet.

importations of gold being made al
most daily. 1t seems strange that a
fearless and powerful journal like the
World does not call attention to the
fact that if this sort of thing keeps ur
only little longer Europe will have
no money with which to pay for oul
farm products and that large part
of the $1,500,O00CO0 worth of products
