Does that mean millions of dol. lars more for the producers or the consumers ?'--Kitchener Telegraph. A Hamilton doctor, who has been fined for making false income re- turns, was showa to have earned nearly $20,000 in three years by is- suing liquor prescriptions. Hamil tonians must be a thirsty people. President Wilson deserved the whele-hearted endorsement of his party as tendered by it in coavent- fon assembled. It doubtless afforded him genuine satisfaction. He has exercised more influence upon world history than any other president his country has produced. Congratulations te Sergt. James Bateson, who on July 1st completed thirty years' of faithful service on the police force of this city. King- ston has been well served by her officials, been this capable and conscientious member of the police department. Abraham Lincoln had a hard road up to the presidency. He failed in business and spent seventeen years paying up debts; his fiancee died and he married 4 woman who was a con- stant burden; he failed in politics. But he bad wonderful perseverance ; and eventually became one of the 'greatest statesmen the United States as ever had. Follow on, young man! Dalhousie University is now bound for a high place in Canada's educa tional future. More of the blue noses will become the bright lights. So mote it be. The finest degree-- and the first--should be given that prince of good journalists, J. Fred Pearson, of the falifax Chronicle, who handled the wealthy men for splendid subscriptions. HAIL AND FAREWELL. Now that the Standard has hauled down its flag and surrendered to the logic of circumstance, the Whig is disposell to treat generously and fair- ly its discomfited adversary. The roar of the would-be lion has given place to the cooing of the dove of peace, and all is quiet along Princess street to-night. Who would ever have thought that because the Whig baseball team trimmed the Standard's team to a standstill the defeat wouid bave been #0 taken to heart as to embitter the very fountain head of our contemp- orary! Next to a victor, the world appreciates a good. loser. Our friend the Standard has failed to measure up to either requirement. The shouting and the tamult hav- . ing died away, and soft words having supplanted unfounded charges, the 'Whig accepts the hand of friendship extended by our contemporary and reciprocates its good wishes.

Hom- er Cummin gs, nat ional chairman of the Democratic party, in making the | keynote speech of the national con- { vention at San. Francisco, took oc- casion to brand the Republican plat-! form ag reactionary and provincial, | and filled with premediated slanders and vague promises. He deplored | the fact that the Republicans dodged | Gefinite issues... and straddled the. fence upon the most important ques-| tions, especially on the League of | | Nations, and then closed with a de- | finite statement that the Democratic | | party would stand or fall upon the | league. He cdlled upon the people to choose between the Democratic | party's support of the League of Na- tions and the Republican party's | platform of repudiations, provincial- ism, militarism and world chaos. The big fssue of the Ameérican electors in the next election, ther- | fore, is to be the League of Nations. President Wilson's code of internat- | lonal law and honor, as put forward' tin the league, is to be the great question in the presidential elect- fons, and at last the world, which has been waiting patiently, will know just where the masses of the. people stand on this important subject. A Republican victory will mean the final repudiation of the Peace Treaty and the League of Nations, while a Democratic victory means the up- holding of President Wilson's attitu- de and the endorsement of his preg. ciples. The fight will not be an easy one. | With McAdoo as the principal con- tender for the Democratic nominat- fon, and very likely to be the candi- date for the presidency, the contest will be one of platforms rather than of men. ' Neither Harding nor Mec- Adoo are powerful 'enough to make a all been allowed so much latitude that they believe they have at least got an | even break in the war. The peace | has turned out to be a botched affair, and now the men in the gallant Bri-| tish army are agein paying for the] | mistakes of the politicians, . who, {afraid of , stirring up discontent | |among the Moslems in the Empire, | {dealt leniemtly with the Turks. | "Tommy" is again paying the price. | | Never in all history has there been | had great a war as that which started tn 1914, and it can also be said that never in all history has there been |such & muddle of affairs by poligical wire-pullers. What 1s required is a policy of rigid enforcement of the terms imposed by a victorious army upon the defeated enemy.' That is the world's only hope for an end to the war. THE WOOL TRADE. An explanation of the prevailing depression in the price of wool, about which many farmers have been loud- ly complaining, is offered by the Can- adian Co-operative Wool Growers Limited 'which seems to set at rest the assertions that any particular group of buyers had combined to force prices down. The statement is as follows: "Every thing at the present time 'points to a lower level of prices as compared with those obtained for the 1919 clip. Just where that level will be, however, is a point upon which there is much speculation and very little agreement. No one really strong appeal to the popular vote, although the latter's stand on labor questions has made him popular with trade unions. They will both | have to depend on other 'party lead- ers to fight their campaigns. There- fore the 'battle will centre on the League of Nations question. This fact gives some hope of a Democratic victory. « The war-time | administration of Wilson has been | ruthlpssly attacked. But that is only natural, as any war-timegovern- ment is open to destructive critic ism. The Republicans have been | making the most of this, and in doing | so forgot the constructive side of | their platform. They left a vul- nerable spot, and the Democrats have seized upon it. The fight 1s now on. It will be waged until No- vember, and on the result, to a large extent, hinges the future of the world. Europe waits, Asia watches and: Canada looks on with eagerness at the scrap across the border. Will the league survive and be strengthen- ed by the addition of the United States, or. will it be thrown definitely into the discard?

Although 3 na not until 1894 that fhe Jpkeng h started and so Broug He togerhe Mn: all parts of the TTT den treasure, it was known, or ra- ther, reported--as far back as 1859, that there were great stores of the vellow metal in the far north. A fur dians of streams where gold was found in the gravel, and as he said, "he often intended to go north in search of the place but he never got | the time." But in 1894 2 small party of ex- plorers arrived in the Yukon from Nova Séotia, In the rush that year avere Robert Henderson, the Nova Scotia man, and George Carmack, with their Indians and helpers. Dur- ing the first year Henderson found a little gold along the Indian River. It! was in that year, too, .that Carmack shot a moose on the Bonanza River and took a portn of the animal to the stream to wash the meat. While doing so he saw some yellow par- ticles in the water. He washed out a pan of the gravel 'and found more nuggets in the pan than he had ever seen in one pan befdre. He staked | his claim; the news spread rapidly, | and in a short time there was a rush | to the spot. Henderson, who had ad- vised Carmack to go to that district! in his hunt for the precious metal, got nothing out of the discovery, although he is commonly regarded as the dis- coverer of the Klondike wealth. In a short time the tales of im- mense wealth drew men to the north from all parts of the world. All sorts and conditions of men--from the ten- derfoot tothe veteran explorer--men | with perfect equipment and others with almost nothing--poured into the | treasure land, Some to make money | and others to lose money and honor | in the chase for the riches. eo i We Own and Offer Province of Ontario iE AlN 6% Bonds due 1830 Denomination $1,000 Price 100 and interest Yielding 6% Full particulars gladly sent on request.

Rippling Rhymes knows what to expect in the market for the next two or three months, and consequently very little is being done except 'playing safe' in the matter of consignment on a suffic- | jently low basis of advance, or, in| the few instances where buying has | occurred, giving a price in keeping | with the feeling of the trade." | "For the immediate present no | market exists. One of the chief rea- | sons for this Btate of affairs lies in| the fact that buyer§ of yarn and 'woollens have been forced to cancel orders previously made on account of general trade conditions. As a | result these cancellations in the trade have piled up so high on the manu- facturers, particularly in the United | to reduce their production one-half. | This in turn haf reduced the pur: chase: of additional woollen stocks, forcing prices below actual cost, and wool merchants, in an endeavor to | protect themselves, have called a halt | on additional purchases of wool in the country until trading improves. At present nobody seems to know what wool is worth, and because of this dealers refrain from making offerings until manufacturers show a greater willingness to buy." Other factors that bear on the wool market are, 'the general tight- ness of money, stocks of wool on hand, particularly inthelower grades, and lastly transportation and the gen eral unsettled state of business." The one bright spot in the situation is | that all authorjties seem to be of the opinion that the present lull is only temporary, and although it is not likely that prices will go back to their recent high level, the opinion Js expressed fhat in the course of a coupje of months or so business will revive. The situation above stated is general in the British markets and in the American markets. The state- ment concludes: "Growers are well advised, this season, to seriously con- sider the selling advantages offered by the Sheep Breeders' Association found in every province of the Dom- fnion."
