But a catalogue of our natural assets is far beyond the scope of, this article..

And so on add infiniâ€" tum. That part of Canada east of the Great Lakes may be termed a manufacturing area. Well over $3,â€" 000,000,000 . is invested in Canadian manufacturing plants, employing |. threeâ€"quarters of «a million . people, and producing goods worth upwards of $4,000,000,000 a year. Canadian Banking System Among the agencies that have comâ€" bined to build up our trade, and thus increaso\our available wealth, the ICanadian banking system stands, in "age and excellence, in a class by. itâ€" | selt. â€" This system is the result of a j slow process of evolution, but I think lI may say that ~we sta;rted right, thanks largely to those nardâ€"headed Scots who were conspicuous not only | in the promotion of our earliest banks, but in commerce and in the adminis: tration of our country. Naturally, they and their English and Trish ]cous'ms embodied in their articles of |association, and in their rules and }generayl practice,, the fundamentali principles of theâ€"institutions of the mother country. Gradually they dropâ€" ped features inapplicable to Canada. They went on modifying and creating in‘ gccordance. with our different financial, and trade conditions, with . the enlarging area of operations, and | with the needs of the community,â€" until now we can say without boastâ€" ing that we have a system which, though not perfect, is admirably suitâ€" ed to conditions throughout . the Dominion. N6 country has a system ibetter adapted to its requirements. Tt \ phas established our name abroad as that of a solid, stable country, reâ€" lmarkably free from panics and finâ€" ancial crises. It has stood the test of | time,â€"through periods of â€" business ]depression, through _ the inflation ‘Ica.used by the American Civil War, [through the great world war, and Ithe troublous years of soâ€"called peace â€"in a word, through the worst of [times as well as the best of times. It will serve in the future as it has iserved in the past. (By ‘General Manager, Bank of s Montreal) That most synical of humorists, Thomas Carlyle, years ago described his fellow countrymen as "twentyâ€" seven millions, mostly fools.". Were a Canadian Carlyle to indulge in such an extravagance regarding us today. we should be indignant. Yet, §Were he to state that 51 per cent. of our people must have been unwise. to create our present excessive railway mileage, it would be hard to refute his allegation. Physical Wealth Take first oar agricultural reâ€" sources. / Think of it! . The whole Northwest was a barren waste only forty odd years ago,â€"and today, in a thousandâ€"mile belt across three prairie provinces, is one of the greatest grainâ€" producing areas in the world. In the past three years, Canada‘s sales abroad of vegetable and animal products brought in $1,900,000,000,. a sum in itself approaching the amount of} the national debt.. Our forest products exported in the same!l three years amounted to :$660,000,000; and there are still left great forests in Douglas fir, pine and spruee pulpwood,â€"enâ€" ough, if carefully preserved, to supâ€" ply a great trade throughout an inâ€" definite future. In water power, no country is richer. So far, we have deâ€" veloped in the provinces of Quebec Assuming, however, in this year of grace 1922 now opening, that everyâ€" one in Canada realizes how hopelessly foolish we have been for some twenâ€" tyâ€"five years in piling up debts And obligations abroad for nonâ€"productive investments,â€"no useful purpose can be served by brooding over the past. In the adapted words of Dryden,â€" Not heaven itself over the past hath power; What has been has been, and Canâ€" ada has hadâ€"and will again naveâ€"her hour." It matters little now what men or parties bequeathed us our railway difâ€" ficulties. Searchers after historical truth will find it all in the dustâ€"heap of Hansard. Leaving the past to take care of itself, surely every thin kâ€" ing Canadian might with advantage start the New Yiear by taking stock of our manifold resources, lassets and blessings, which . will enable us to overcome these difficulties. For two and a half decades, Canada‘s progress has been phenomenal and continuous. At the moment we are marking time, but we shall have another innings beâ€" fore long. Now is the time to preâ€" pare, so that we may take full adâ€" vantage of our splendid inheritance, turning our mistakes of the past inâ€" to stepping stones to ‘a wiser future. There are three forms of wealth: First, physical wealthâ€"the land and all that therein is; second, wealth of labor; and third, wealth of credit. Let us now cast up our ac0011qts and see what we have to show. The soâ€"called "accumulated wealth" of a young country is necessarily‘ moderate; the natural wealth of this young country is boundless. We have had our banking troubles, but the system is not responsible for that.. No system can render infallible the men who work it; though a good system like ours can and does reduce to a minimum the unfortunate effects of personal . fallibility.

MARRS, Evangelist TIMES & GUIDE, WESTON in the United States, where banks by l‘the dozen were closing their doors every day, Canada sailed serenely ‘ on her course. This would have been ! impossible had our system of banking }and currency not been sound. | Canadian Pacific Railway | Next in order comes the, Canadian \ Pacific Railway, which may, in a fsense, be.called a national institution. i And, unlike some other national inâ€" | stitutions, is is also a national asset ! of incalculable value. Quite apart from | its vast benefit to Canada as an emâ€" i ployer of labor, as. a continental ttransportation company, with unsurâ€" ‘ passed steamship service on both Atâ€" \ lantic and Pacific, not to speak of ‘the lakes, and with splendid hotels (at strategic pointsâ€"it is the. comâ€" ! pany‘s prestige, its admirable adminâ€" listra.tion, and lastly its success as a | business undertaking, that have rivetâ€" ed upon it, and therefore upon Canâ€" ada, the admiring attention of the world. There is no country where | Canadian Pacific shares are not held; and wherever they are held, there you have shareholders who take a practical interest in the welfare of this Dominion. Wealth of Labor 7 And look at our wealth of labor. It has been truly said that a country‘s greatness depends not oni@the extent of its territory or even its physical resources, but on‘ the character of its people. _Can we not claim that we come of good . stock, â€"That a solid foundation for nationhood was well and truly laid in Norman, Breton and United Empirae Loyalist ancestry, Angloâ€"Saxon and Celt, and that. the mass of those who followed were not unworthy of this noble fellowship ? Modesty precludes. us from dwelling on this point, except to add we are a wellâ€"behaved, industrious and ambiâ€" tious people, and that there is no more peaceful or contented industrial counâ€" try in the world today. This is due in no small part to the fact that so many of our people have had a great respect for education. Hence our pubâ€" lic school system, and our many notâ€" able colleges and universities, which form an asset beyond all price, though capable of much improvement still. Wealth of Credit As for _ our country‘s â€" financial credit, which after all is the true test of the standing of a nation, as of a business concern, it leaves nothing to be desired. Were it not fq’r the disâ€" advantage of transfering money from London to Canada,â€"owing‘ to the deâ€" preciation of the pound sterling, the Dominion Government could float a vast loan in England on very favorâ€" able terms indeed. On the New York market, too, the Government could borrow hundreds of millions with ease. and on better terms than any other country in the world except the United States. ts Remembering that in the youth of men now only in their sixties the very idea of a transcontinental railroad was but a dream, and that this great comâ€" pany was not even thought of, its present state of completed efficiency and magnitude seems almost incredâ€" ible.. The Canadian Pacific Railway needs no champion, but as a Canaâ€" dian I am proud to pay a tribute to this colossus of forty years‘ growth, this greatest business creation of modâ€" ern times, to which Canada owes so much. Avoiding that controversial topic, government versus private ownâ€" ership, it will suffice in this article to add that Canada‘s railway facilities generally, apart from . the Canadian Pacific Railway, are adequate at least for many years to come; also, that in the passing of our oldest railway comâ€" pany we may well. move a vote of thanks to that muchâ€"abused pioneer road the good old Grand Trunk Railâ€" way, to which also Canada is greatly indebted. Our System of Laws ; Our system of law and justice is another‘ most valuable asset. The laws are administered and justice is done in a manner comparing not unfavor ably with that of Great Britain, (@ country that many serve and has often served in this respect as a model to the world. To this, as â€"well as to racial and other characteristics of our people, is largely due the, fact that Canada is a lawâ€"abiding country, And at this point we ought to pay Our tribute to the judiciary. Considering their inadequate emoluments, 1b uds marvellous that the bench has secured men of such high qualities. Our j‘fidges as a whole are integrity perâ€" sonified, without fear and without reâ€" proach. They have played an imâ€" portant part in the advancement of Canada.' and the estafolishrr{eg}t of her good name. * As for our climate, where is there a healthier one? _Our summers are ideal, and if our winters are hard, is it not true that hard winters proâ€" duce a hardy people? ; Last, but best of all, we live under the British Plag, with all its ‘protecâ€" tion and prestige. We have all the advantages that go with life in a new and virile country, and at the same time we dnjoy the pride and satisfacâ€" tion of partnership in the greatest Empire, the most potent, human inâ€" strument for good, that the world has ever. known Mrs. E. Morrissey of Weston wishes to thank the many friends and neighâ€" bors for their sympathy and kindness extended her in her recent sudden and sad bereavement. Mrs. Win.
