Potatoes and Loyalty Gone,

Under the lower rate OF duty. no less
than 650,000 bushels Of New Bruns-
wick potatoes found their way into
the American market in three months
The wonderful Ontario market was in
existence at that time, but for some
reason or other. shippers appeared to
fight shy OF II. The records show that
for every carload OF potatoes which
went to Ontario from this province
during three months in 1913, ten went

President Wilson'S theory In these
words:
Confidence. it has been said, often

Geological panics. Similarly, the
absence to-day of a panic is psyche
logical. AS The Times Dispatch has
pointed out. optimism. as well as
pessimism, is largely state of mind.
Where confidence is lacking we have
depression: where il is present we
have stimulation. OF course. con-
crete facts usually have much TO do
with the presence or absence of con-
fidenca but sometimes they have
nothing. People often are fright
encd by bugaboos. and the present
is one of those times. Depression is
largely the result OF fear of what
Congress may do. while stability in
the financial world is largely the re-
suit of confidence in what Congress
has done. Both are psychological
