-The wheat crop of the United
States is placed at 700,000,000 bushels,
which allows for a surplus for export
of 250,000,000 bushels,

-Of nearly 50,000 settlers who went
into the Canadian West during the
month of July, abort 31,000 came from
the United States, and have taken up
land west of Winnigeg,
*
-The population of New Zealand is
considerably under One millon, and
still there is in that island nearly 14,-
000,000 acres of land under cultivation,
or somewhat more than we have in
Ontario with our population of up-
wards of two millions.

-United States bankers are now
prepared to float a big Russian loan.
It is estimated $100,000,000 may be
raised in America for that purpose,
and a syndicate of banks and finan-
ciers may arrange the hatter. There
is also talk of another Japanese loan.

-Now that harvesting operations
are well advanced in the West, the
Winnipeg Commercial feels confident
in announcing that there are good
prospects of the yield of western
wheat reaching ninety or one hundred
million bushels. Those who have aI-
ready cut considerable of the grain
claim that it even surpasses their ex-
pectations. The reports received from
different parts are exceedingly opti-
mistic, and are said to be the most
satisfactory ever received at this time
of the year.

-Strikes are going out of date. Ten
years ago they averaged 835 a year,
and five years ago 508 a year; but last
year there were only 354 strikes alto-
gether. Ten years ago 254,000 work -
people were affected by strikes every
year, and five years ago the number
was 1,450,000. Last year only 87,000
workers were affected. This decline
can be traced to the action of boards
of conciliation and arbitration. Last
year these agencies prevented no
fewer than 015 strikes, and settled
twenty-seven more.
*
vrinped will. aid materially In prolong-
ing the prosperity that hats happily
prevailed for so long a tints'.' All the
851110 it is 11111011 too evident, when six
millions of ieeoplc have a 1'arliallieut
that hopes a ninety million session,
the intoxication of good times is run-
ning to an extravagance that is worse
OM foolish. The act of the sang;
Parliament in nearly donbling the pay
of the Weighers, all acids to the craze
of extravagance that prevails, The
old and safe rule of making one's ex-
penditures a trifle less thiui one's in-
come has apparently become too slow.
The Pule naw is, nuke the income
keep up with the expenditure if possi-
ble, and if not, trust to lock, but let
the band play on at any rate. Mem-
bers of Parliament in the exhilaration
of a ninety million session find that
their pay must be doubled, The pro-
fessional man finds that he must don-
ole his fees to meet his demands. The
workinan must have his pay doubled
to keep up the pace. There is a limit
to this game. A crash must come,
and it may come with a startling sud-
denness. The harvest prospects are
bright at present, and the wise will
take the opportunity of clearing atf aali
liabilities and strictly avoid incurring
any new embarrassments, discounting
a future that may he prolific in noth-
ing but disappoiutnnent.
-In the Statistical Year Book of
Canada for 1904, is given an interest-
ing statement of the revenue and ex-
penditures of the different countries
of the world, in the year for which
the latest figures are available, This
expenditure runs from 42e per head in
the case of New Guinea, to $72.22 in
Western Australia. In Western Aus-
tralia, however, the people own their
own railways, and the expenditure
there includes what is paid in freight
and fares, as well as the ordinary cost
of government. In Great Britain the
expenditure is $16.71 per capita ; in
Austria, $13.78; in France, $17.85, and
in Germany, $8.00. In Canada the es-
timates for this year call for an outlay
of $90,000,000, or $15 per head -almost
equal to that of Britain or France,
exceeding that of Austria, and nearly
doubling that of Germany. And this,
despite the fact that in European
countries such enormous sums are
spent on the maintenance of vast ar-
mies and navies,
SENSIBLE SUGGESTIONS.
(Bobcageon Independent.)
The harvest reports are ail favorable
so far. Ontario has a bountiful har-
vest fairly well in hand, and the pros-
pects for the great Northwest are of
the brightest, This gleans a continu-
ance of the good tinges, and another
escape from the lean slack times that
must inevitably come sooner or later.
It will be a serious mistake, individu-
ally and nationally, if this latter fact
is overlooked in the intoxication of
prosperity. The good times are not
to last for ever, and the wise will
make provision to tide over the period
of depression that is certain to come.
A. great clanger in these good times is
recklessness and extravagance. Money
is flush and comes easy, and expendi-
tures are launched into, not only con•
suiting the income of the present hut,
drawing on the future. Liabilities are
piled u 1 regardless of consequences,
l• eg' 1 ,
and in the unsafe belief that tithes
r will be for ever booming. Then a bad
harvest cornea along, a commercial
collapse takes p ce, or a strike among
laborers, and, presto, the giddy gone
is over. Hard tines set in, money is
no longer bush, and the foolish liabili-
ties press for payment. It Is trate that
the enormous natural resources of this
great country that are yet to be de.

owns nearly 3,000 16010$ of good land,

arthingequipment. Ilnndt•eis of western Ca-
nadian farmer's make so much money
that they regularly spend their win-
ters in California, Florida, and eastern
Canada.
Such melt are making this the great
wheat -producing country of the world.
Tilts year western Canada will pro-
duce 100,000,000 bushels of wheat, and
the railway. lines are crowded with
elevators that will collect the grain
and forward ,it to Port Arthur, and
Fort William on Lake Superior, where
already towel's the largest grain eleva-
tor the world has ever known. And
it was built by an American firm.
Not a tenth of the good arable land in
this region is as yet under the plow,
yet 5,000 miles of railway are taxed to
their utmost to handle the products of
the fields now cultivated,
The general feeling throngliout the
world is that of relief and pleasure at
the conclusion of the awful war that
has raged between Russia and Japan.
The loss of life in the conflict has been
something terrible to think of. The
financial cost of the war, though im-
mense, pales into insignificance when
one thinks of the awful carnage and
suffering, wounded and maimed men,
widows' and orphans' grief.
President Roosevelt deserves the
thanks of the world, and especia..+' of
the nations concerned, for his un -
wearying efforts to bring about peace,
and he will be a more prominent figure
in the world's history because of the
success of his praiseworthy efforts.
The foIIowing are the most impor-
tant of the terms of peace
1 -Russia recognizes Japanese prepon-
derance in Korea, with the right to
preserve order and to give military
and financial advice to the Emperor;
but to maintain the policy of the
"open door" and to observe the ter-
ritorial integrity of Korea.
2 -Russia to evacuate Manchuria ;
Japan to restore Chinese sovereignty
there. Both nations to respect the
territorial integrity of China and
Manchuria, and give equal opportu-
nity for the industry and commerce
of all nations,
3 -In Sakalin Island, Russia to hold
the northern part and Japan the
southern.
4 -Russia to give up the leases of the
Liaotung peninsula, also Port Ar-
thur and Dalny.
5 -China to receive the railway from
Harbin to. Port Arthur and New
Chwang.
0 -Cost to Japan of supporting Russian
prisoners to be decided by arbi-
tration,
7 -Special fishing rights to Japan.
Japan yielded the question of in-
demnity, but her forces gained a vic-
tory in every conflict over her power-
ful foe, and she now stands the domi-
nant power of the east, while Russia
sees her plaits for supremacy there
vanish. The concessions made by Ja-
pan thus appear to be wise as well as
magnanimous. They establish the po-
sition of Japan, not only as a great
fighting power on land and sea, but as
a member of that council of nations
which is endeavoring to promote the
peace of the world.
That a'rising and powerful nation
should act so wisely and so humanely
shows that she has wise statesmen as
well as brave soldiers.

A. great many Americans are mak-
ing their homes in the Canadian
Northwest, and with the energy that
is characteristic of that people, are
doing well and growing wealthy. The
World's Work, published in the United
States, has an excellent article on the
Canadian West, and gives the follow-
ing examples of those who have pro-
fited by removal from the United
States to Canada :--
The success of Mr. William Wishard
of Portage la Prairie, who is perhaps
the first American farmer of western
Canada, is a type of the success that
will come to those who have followed
him. Mr. Wishard carate over from
Missouri in 1875, His wealth consisted
of $300, and he had a wife and three
children. Ile now owns 480 acres of
land, worth $40 an acre ; he has a
good bank account and a completely
equipped farm, and he has earned and
presented to six sons and two daugh-
ters 3.20 acres each of rich black land.

THREE JURORS CURED
Of Cholera Morbus with One Small Bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy.
Mr. G. W. Fowler, of Hightower,
Ala.., relates an experience he had
while serving on a petit jury in a
murder case at Edwardsville, county
seat of Clehourne county, Alabama.
He says :-"While there I ate some
fresh meat and some souse meat and
it gave ine cholera morbus in a very
severe form. I was never more sick
in my life and sent to the drug store
for a certain cholera mixture but the
druggist sent me a bottle of Chamber-
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy instead, saying that he had
what I sent for but that this medicine
was so much better he would rather
send it to ire in the fix I was in. I
took one dose of it and was better in
five minutes. The second dose cured
me entirely. Two fellow jurors were
afflicted in the same manner and one
small bottle cured the three of us."
