aerial Conference of 102G has been making history. Whether this. shall be for good or ill remains to he seen. A new/iiflpqrture has been made that is hig with tbs fate of what has been heretofore called The British Empire. Already that term is being dropped and the Bri- " tieh l‘ wealth, of Nations sub- stituted in its stead. {We are told in a cablegrarn that one delegate describes the result as

The sayiurg that ‘lOonlpetltioa the Life of rode?‘ la true. in a gen- er way; but itil t0 he accepted W the proverbial “grain of salt." The trade of a small communityv’ for instaaoeuin which a man fitted for a certain line of usineas has entered is not ealiv ed hen an- other lmn competes with him and divides the profits.

in ‘like manner a. competition in which the competitors do not deal on equal terms is not calculated to benefit greatly the trade and people of the country subjected to it. Life. is not infused into a trade when there are high customs duties to he paid and one side of a line between customers and comparatively low customs duties on the other side. We have an illustration of this fact in the conditions that now prevail between this country and the llnlt~ ed iStates. Except when there is a shortage in the lStates of some partioullar article which Canada has in supply. Canadian trade is under a disadvantage and ls depressed rather than improved by reason 0i the competition of the United States in things which both these countries prcdu-ce.

‘But free alld fair competition is undoubtedly ‘beneficial to the trade dl the country when conditions are equal. The price _ci monopoly is ever, as Adam 'Smith remarks, “the highest which can be got." if a lman sees an opportunity to make money, or to lower prices. by enter- ing into competition with others in general business, he should rather be encouraged to take advantage of it, than to let it pass. lf, for ill- stancc. a dealer in produce should see his way clear to profit by com- peting with our iPotato Growers’ Au- sociation, he should not be i118" vented from doing so because the Potato Growers’ Association is do- ing a good ihusirless in the interests oi the Yrovluce. 0r. if an export- er should risk some money ill the purchase of eggs and so compete with the Egg Circle, the rcountry as well as the dealer might he benefit- ed, even though the Ext; Circle 19 an institution of prime importance to the people of this province.

?—<oc>-___ WHAT l8 WRONG?

According to figures recently is MM in file Department of Immi- gration at Ottawa-the number of liiiiiiilfliiie who came to Canada since 1000 was 4,096,183. 0f those only 102,102 remained in the Mari-

reach of cvery farm in the prov- ince. Every farmer in the province who has attended to business in a business ‘wily has made good. This should be made known to intending British emigrants. it should be :made known to them also that their kindred, their former neighbours, their fellow countrymen have pros- pered in this country.

There are many British emigrants who may prefer “roughing it" ill the unsettled west. There are thousands of men who would prefer to settle where their children would ‘have educational facilities and for itheee Canada has no better place ‘than Prince Edward Island. All l

this must "be placed before intend- ing Britrlsb emigrants if they are expected to settle in this part of Canada. EDITORAL NOTES

-_-_

Christmas is only e month away. Could you believe it in the midst of such glorious weather as

step behind, if Canada is in- accurli with our present representatives izl thc Conference. We cannot be- lieve that they represent the major- ity scntlment in Canada, although the Dominion is bound by their ac- tloll.

Some further immediate consequ- ences of [he action of the Confer-

eucc are to follow. Apparently the Dominion ls to set. up a. dsplomatlc and consular service of its own, al- ready begun b_y the appointment of n Canadian Minister Ambassador to Washington. Whether these sevices will grow in the next few years can only be guessed. The Washington office is set down to cost $50,000 for the first year as a starter, to be increased hereafter. It opens up a vista of Canadian Arn- basdadorq and Consuls at many foreign capitals and leading cities, to be appointed within the next few years to gratify the lust for salar- ied offices within the party now in power.
