MUST IT BE ELECTION?

merit to thoe° who were hoping to see
partyism buried in a united win -the -
war movement that would have ellen°
ed the political office seekers and
brought together at least three-fourths
of Canadians in one common bond of
fellowship. Those who are ready to
pat country before party may yet will
out, There is still talk of 111r. Rowell
and others taking up the positions that
Sir Wilfrid Laurier refused, and it
may be that when it oomes to a straight
issue on conscription enough Liberals
will be found ready to desert their
party to outweigh the Quebec element
Nd by Sir Wilfrid, Unfortunately
the outlook isnot favorable.
Politics die hard at Ottawa, and it
begins to look as if the wily and astute
leader of the Opposition has got his
followers in line again on various sub.
terfagea that are intended to delay
conscription. If that is the case it is
to be hoped that Premier Borden will
not hesitate or yield an inch. If the
Liberals, allied to the Nationalists and
anti-British element, can defeat th
Goveruwent then let them take the
reepeneibility., Or the Premier can go
to the country for its verdict without
waiting for that. Better either of
these than to have Canada further
humiliated, Better a Conservative
defeat in so good a cause than' to delay
doing our duty to the Canadians at
the front. This, however, is not to be
feared, for we believe the voice of the
people would be stronger and truer
than that of their representatives, in
many instances swayed by party con-
ditions.
There are worse things than elec-
tions, end it is a question whether
these are not confronting Premier
" Borden, who has done all that any
Nader could be, expected to do, and is
met by petty opposition at every turn.
He wasby asked the Liberals to form
a coalition government. When he
tried this, offering half the Cabinet
positions, he was refused support,
showing that the Opposition had not
been sincere. It. has been said that
the interests of the people were not be-
ing looked after. The appointment
of a grain commission, a fuel control-
ler and the promise of the immediate
appointment of a food •controller, are
latest proof of•the falsity of such con-
tentions. -
The political manoeuvring at Ottawa
is sickening, It is a wilful waste of
time at a period when time is precious.
Canadians are not concerned at the
success of party leaders in offsetting
the dangerous situation into which Sir
Wilfrid has brought the Liberal party
es the evident leader of a French-Can-
adian party as opposed to the English -
Canadian party that has demanded
conscription, 'Amendments regard-
ing a referendum and the conscription
of wealth may show ingenuity, but
they are only time -wasting expedients
when Canadians want the deck cleared
for action, and something done besides
talk.
Premier Borden has tried resolutely
to avoid dividing the people by an
election, but, as we said before, there
are worse things than going to the
people for a verdict. IP we cannot
have action at Ottawa, the people
should be asked to give the Gevern-
meat another lease of power in which
to put conscription and all other win -
the -war agencies into effect. With
ke soldiers at the front voting—and
that would have to be assured—there
• would be no doubt as to the result.

WAR PROSPERITY
Lessons From The Ana-eriean Civil War
DURING the year 1916 Canadians
added more than two Hundred
nliilions of dollars to their bank
deposits. The pereapita average 1n
savings banks was increased during
this period from $55 to $92,25. Our
export trade, during the year ending
September 1, 11116, reached the grand
total of rine billion and fifty-two mil-
lions of dollars. Canada's total trade
for the same period showed a gain of
about 0O% --mark tliat—within 10%
of doubling the total trade of the
previous twelve months.
The estimated value of the agrice]•
tural production of Canada's Western
Provinces, during 1916, reached a
total of more than two hundred and
thirty-one millions of dollars. This
great wealth was created by a rural
population of only slightly more than
tbreo-quarters of a million people.
Thee° figures indicate wonderful
prosperity in Canada. They tell a
story of prosperity in a nation at
war that is almost unbelievable to
the outside world. Residents of the
United States who come into Canada
express amazement at tite signs of
prosperity to be found on every
hand. The crowds to be seen at the
theatres and places of amusement
and Indulgence ill practically every
y
large city indicate that our people
have plenty of money teem—end. The
manner in which the war loans have
been oversubscribed niay be taken
as another indication of the flood of
war prosperity in Canada to -day,
But what of the period after the
war? Will this prosperity live? Will
Canada at the close of the war be
able to maintain the big balance of
trade in her favor which is now ,be-
ing piled up at the rate of half a
billion dollars per year? When the
demand for munitions cease, will we
be able to transfer all these factories
to normal trade conditions and still
hold this war -time prosperity?
Accepting the possibility that the
war will continue for another year
or more, it is 'time we were ovol ivin
g
some plan to care for these after the
war conditions. But to pian is not
eftaugh. We must act. That Can-
ada faces a serious situation in this
approaching ante -war period is pre-
dicted In the history of the Civil War
in the United States, where con,
ditions in the Northern States were
,quite similar in many respects to
those which now prevail in Canada,
, From 1862 on to the close 'of the
watt, the Northern States showed
prosperity on every hand. The raid-
ing parties from the Confederate
Array -breaking through into Penn-
sylvania carried beet to the half-
starved south stories that Northern
industries were going ahead as if the
nation was running upon a well -
organized peace schedule, instead of
beip.g engaged in' a momentous civil
war. The Chicago Tribune near the
close of the war said, "Commeroe,
business, manufactures and labor are
going ahead as in k profound peace,
save with more impetus) and whirl-
ing activity than peace ever knew.
• The ° New York Economist, however,
pointed out that much of the ap-
parent prosperity was fictitious. It
declared that the laboring people
were suffering because 'of war condi-
tions, because wages had increased
only about 12%, while the cost of
living had more than doubled. Pro-
fessor Roland P, Falkner, a rsoog-
nized statistical authority of that
day, presented two important con-
clusions after a careful study of civil
war condition: "During the war
period the advance in wages was not
commensurate with the advance in
prices?' The late Nelson W. Ald-
rich, the great economist of the
United States Senate, reviewed the
apparent prosperity during and atter
the Civil' War In ,the following:
'Money wages responded with un-
mistakable slowness to the inflating
influence of the civil war. In 1865,
when prices stood at 217 as compared
with 100 in 1869, wages had only
' touched 143..
We find also that the demand for
labor was the greatest in the history
of the States, up to that period. The
extensive recruiting from the farms
and farming districts, and the extra-
ordinary demands of the munition
plants, brought a shortage of labor
everywhere. During the last twe
years of the Civil War many of the
farms in the Central Western States
remained idle because it was impos•
Bible to securo help, From 1863 to.
1865 immigration from Europe to the
Wilted States increased at a rapid '
rate, yet the demand for laborers was
so great that Congress saw fit to
enact laws to still further increase
this immigration.
According to Rhodes' "History of
the United States," it was tradition
In skilled labor circles that tinges
were hard just before the war and
began to be good during the Civil
War. According to this authority
the wage-earning mechanics bought
lots and saved money during the
war period, while the clerks, teach-
ers and others on a salary basis eta -
fend.
At the close of the war there was a
rapid spread of onthaslasm for a con•
tinuation of the so-called prosperity.
New enterprises were launched on
every hand; speculation was rife.
The returning soldier farmers mi-
grated In large parties to fertile val-
leys tributary to the Mississippi.
This broadening of the agricultural
situation brought a demand for
more rail mileage and something
more than 15,000 miles were con-
structed in the West from 1865 to
1873. • This work brought employ -
met toThe thousands. first annual
at
0the of Labor,
f C ommission r e
published in 1886, reviews this con-
struction period, as follows:
"The stimulation to all industries
resulting from the war, the specula-
tive enterprises undertaken, the ex-
tension of credits, and the t lacken-
ing of production necessarily caused
a reaction; but the period was hard-
lybusiness spoken of by ins b a ss merias one
of any particular hardship, People
for a while began to be conservative,
but the impetus engendered by the
war could not be overcome and it
was not until the crash Of 1873 that
the effects of undue excitement in ail
branches of business and trade were
thoroughly realized," '
Comparing these Civil War con-
ditions with those prevailing In Can-
ada, we see many danger signals.
The most important of these Is the
necessity for reorganizing produc-
tion upon a sound and economic
f munitionplants
after our great p s
have fulfilled their function, and for
increasing our agricultural produc-
tion.
We take pride in the Iarge agricult
tural production in Canada, yet it Is
startling the great quantities of
farm products we purchase every
year from the United States. The
imports fol• 1913 shows that we
bought 6,000,000 dozen- more eggs
than we sold the Americans, and that
we consumed a quarter of a million
pounds of butter made across the line
and sold them practically nothing,
We purchased 300,000 pounds more
cheese from our neighbors to the
south than we sold them, and we
paid $100,000 in duty upon $1,000,000
worth of tomatoes grown in the
States, We even bought 500,000
bushels of potatoes more than we
sold.
Canada ought to produce all this
farm produce within her own borders
and 'have a balance for sale in the
world markets.
It is estimated that some 200,000
workers are now employed upon
munitions, and that 75% of this
number will require different employ-
ment after the war: We will have
some 200,000 soldiers returning to
our shores after the war, of which
number, it is estimated, we wilt- be
called upon to find employment for
fully 150,000. In addition,• there will
be, quite .probably, a flood of immi-
gration to add to the labor market.
A practical scheme for re -organi-
zing our manufacturing production
should embrace a plan to induce
American manufacturers to build
branch plants in Canada. We must
make's study of the market possi-
bilities which our manufacturers will
have at home and among the entente
nations after the war.
These After -the -War problems areal

Carrier Pigeon Caught
While Mr. Dan Graham of Goderich
was about twenty miles out in Lake
Huron on Alonday iu his fishing tug,
the Florence Graham, a carrier pigeon
flew into the wheelhouse of the boat.
It was very much exhausted and was
so hungry that it devoured the food
that was offered it in a way that indic-
ated that it had not had anything to
eat for some time, On the pigeon's
right leg was a. silver ring with "W.
II. 1914--1010" eugraved on it. On the
left leg was a plain gold ring. Both
