Then, again, there seems ‘ to be no" reason why" the banks should not be able to obtain advances for niunicip‘aI-ities upon their treasury bills with municipal debentures as additional secumties. The government will at once have available for its needs an additional issue of Dominion notes to the am« aunt of $20,000,000, secured by a 25 per cent gold reserve. As‘a matter of fact, the Dominion notes (except those issued against securities pledg- ed by the banks by way of redis- count), will have behind them a gold reserve of over 70 per cent. While there is for theapresent a sus- pension of specie payments, the gov- ernment is guarding against undue inflation by constantly strengthening its store of gold. At 1 o’clock this It is now possible for the Cana- dian Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific to continue construction. The Canadian banks will be able to re- discount their paper With the gov- ernment and obtain large'advances in Dominion notes upon the Collater- al of their securities, whether guar; anteed by the Dominion or by the Various provincial governments. This will mean that contractors, subconâ€" tractors, material, men and laborers will be kept buSy and that the steel industries will receive a much needed stimulus. In the same way the Co- baltminers and others will be bene- fi’fittedtbecause- the owners of the sil- Wer will not be forced to dispose of their producr on a falling market, but can obtain from their bankers an issue of Dominion notes amply secured by deposits of silver. Manu- facturers will “also be able through 1 the banks to obtain advances or na-} tional currenCy secured by prime ' commercial paper, amd the materials in process of manufacture to which the bankers’ lien has attached. I COUNTRY’S ASSETS ADDED T04 soon be appreciated by the business men and the.general public. If Fiâ€" nance Minister White takes advantâ€" age of the great powers confided to him and the treasury boardhy par- liament and if the chartered banks co-operate, as we believe they W111 do with the government, a long step will be taken towards arresting in- dustrial awhile and financial stag- nation, and we may look for a gen- eral revaval of business and agreat increase in emplbyment for the ar- tisans and laboring men of Canada.

This is the'view held as well by those who are familiar with the local situation and the condiâ€" tions which govern the marketing of cheese. “Every farmer in Ontario and ev- ery cheese factory owner» as well, should make cheese mstead of shipp- ing cream. That the price of cheese should advance soon to at least 14c. is evidenced by the fact that the re- tail price in England has been fixed at 19 cents. This would justify 14c. here." This statement was made by Prof. Publow, of Kingston, Chief Dairy Commissioner for Eastern On- tario, at a meeting of the Iqoruois Cheese Board last week.

' AHMIBAHY MAKES A story is told of a British genera: in the Crimean War who commanded his men on a certain occasion to “steady the Buffs"â€" and they steadied them. There is 2.277.933 tes- timony that in the present crisis the men up- 0" whom rests the responsibility, of carrying {Wt gigantic issues successfully: are among "the coolest of the world’s indivie‘uais. While they are straining every energy to "steady the Buffs" and eventually to bring about an ever lasting reign of peace and prosperity. it is the duty of the rest of us to do our utmost in lifting up our fellow-men and in maintain- ing normal conditions. In this way we can do our little share in “steadying the Buffs" and in assisting those whom the present unfor- tunate crisis have not left in the most afflu: ent circumstances. It is the duty of the retail trade to “remain steady under fire" and not to be carried away by any stampede on the part Of the public.
