Kingston, Feb. 7th.--(To the Edi-| itor): In a recent editorial the Whig | quotes from speeches made at the Canadian Club, Montreal, by Hon. Mackenzie King, and Sir Arthur Currie. The prime minister pleads { for unity and harmony among the j aiftevent peoples and sections of the country, and Sir Arthur laments the | exodus of Canadians to the United States, and thinks the Canadian Clubs, and similar organizations, could do something to stop this trek- king. These are very vital questions and should be seriously considered by all who have the best interests of the country at heart. Our prob- lems to be solved are immense and difficult. Thé. cheerful optimist would have us believe that we, in Canada, are on easy street, when we come to pay our taxes it is not so easy to find the money to pay them. He would have us be- lieve that Canada is flourishing and prosperous, because when we want $50,000,000 to pay a railway deficit, our banks and other financial insti- tutions e¢an lend us the money. If { lending and borrowing could make a country prosperous, then indeed we would be flourishing, and most happy. But paying interest on bor- rowed money never made anybody rich, except the one who got the interest. . . One of the great évils of our mo- dern civilization is the coucentra- tion of money into the hands of the comparatively few, and mational debts, due, for the most part, to wars are the chief causes of this concen- tration. The "bond and the dol- lar" have been the cause of the fmpoverishment of nearly every na- tion in the world; and unless some drastic steps are taken, and some wonderful developments made, Can- ada is in a fair way to the impover- ishment.of her people, Before the war we had a debt of less than four hundred millions, now our debt is over two billions, or six or seven times as great. The government and the people were and are respon- sible for a large share of this im- mense increase in our national debt. The selfishness and the greed of the people, and the reckless extravagance of the-governments in many unne- cessary things (like the building of the huts on Barriefleld commons) edged on, no doubt, by the selfish greed of those who wished to line their pockets at the expense of the country. The grafters and the profi- teers during the war gave us such an exhibition of patriotism as to make one almost despair for the welfare of this country. True patriotism would have tried in every way possible to save the country from all unnecessary ex- penses, and, moreover, would have lent its surplus money to the gov- ernment without interest. While the lives of our young men were be- ing sacrificed at the front for our defence, 'we at home should have sacrificed some of our wealth on the altar of liberty, but no; money is more sacred than human life, Such is the character a FEBRUARY FURNITURE SALE NE | Cj EE Kitchen Cabinets in Oak, Elm, White Enamel-- all the latest attachments.

Many people thought that the world would be greatly improved, if not a paradise, after the war; but | there was no good reason for such | an expectation. The war was a ' or at least it was started oT reform or progress back of it. On | the one side it was vanfty, greed and selfishness, and on the other side, it | was self-defence. Now we know that instead of making the world better, | so far as we can see, it has made | it worse. | But, if we turn philosopher, and look at it from a long range view | we may see the principle of evolu- | tion at work and the way may yet I'he prepared because of it; for an | advancement in civilization, and hu- | man society. Evolution is a slow | process, and generations yet unborn | may look back apd see, for ought we know, that tRi% great war was the beginning of a new era in the his- | tory of man on the earth. The time | had arrived for a change, and a | re-adjustment in the economic poli- | teal and religious institutions of | Christendom. are too close to this great cataclysm | to understand its meaning. It started the people to thinking as they had never thought before. They began to question the very foundations of their beliefs, and much good may vet come out of these questionings. When great changes are made in the evolutionary processes, man seems as a fly on the wheal of pro- |'gress. When a physical adjustment is made, the earth quakes and thou- sands are destroyed. The same prin- ciple seems to" apply in the evolu- tion of human society. There has never been any great forward move- ment in history without great loss of life, and a great deal of suffer- ing and hardships. No narrow or- thodox view will explain this satis- factorily. If we wish an explanation we will have to delve deeper into the principles of nature, the universe or God, than has yet been done. Man, all down the ages, has made child- ish and wild assumptions, and he { has built up systems of thought upon these that, of course, must be | erroneous, because his premises were wrong. But science is making him a little more cautious now. He is not as dogmatic. He is getting new | views of this wonderful world in which he lives and moves and has his being. He is beginning to under- stand that all things are relative, nothing stands alone, that he is a part' of the cosmos, and must be in- | cluded in its evolutionary processes. This is farther than I intended to carry = these philosophical reflec tions, but let me say the world has far too few philosophers in it. We are long on science but short on philosophy. Every age needs a new interpretation of scientific dis- coveries, and philosophy has not yet made good use of the scientific dis- coveries of the last century, to say nothing about the marvellous dis- coveries of the present century. Man is solely responsible for this mess he has got the world into, and he will have to gét out of it as best he can. We, in Canada, have ,been, rather glow in setting our house in order, but we must not delay any longer, or we will be bankrupt. Our economic problem 1s the big one. To solve this, all sections of the dominion must co-operate. The interests of the agricultural west must be brought into harmony with the interests of the manufacturing east, The political parties know how this can be done. Let them get busy on it, Tariffs and freight rates are the data in the solutiom of this problem. The immense west must and will find freerer access to the sea than the shallow waters of the St. Lawrence river affords. The de- velopment of this '"'Deep-Waterway" and electrical power project should be carried out as soon as possible. It i8 useless for Sir Arthur Cur- rie, or any one else to talk about the exodus of Canadians to the Unit- ed States, The Canadian Club or any other organization can do no- thing to stop it, so long as the eco- nomic conditions there are better than they are here, Everybody re- cognizes that it is a great loss to have our Canadian born young men by the thousands going into Uncle Sam's domains, but until we can give them remunerative employment equal to that in the States, they will continue to go. We may appeal to their patriotism, but food and | clothing are still necessary, and they will seek these where best they can find them. This is an example of the law of "Economical De- terminism" in operation. The only way to stop this loss of the vital blood of our country is to improve economic conditions. The way to do this is 1 y a scientific development of our natural resoure- es... Canada has immense water- power going to wpste, Let us de- velop this power, and manufacture our raw materials at home, Can- ada's adverse balance of trade with the United States is not made up of manufactured goods, but is made up of raw and semi-manufactured ma- terials, which Canada can and should produce for herself, providing em- ployment for thousands of people and creating that internal traffic upon which the ultimate and perma- nent success of our railways so largely depends. --8.
