YVEDNESDA-Y, FEBRUARY 16, 1921- "WE Two" u i

A small boy being asked how many brothers and sisters he had replied “There’s six of us altogeth er but I’m about the only one that amounts to any- thing."

l-ion. Speaker Duffy must have been asked a somewhat similar question during his recent vis- it to Ontario, on ivhich occasion he addressed the miembers of the Ontario Government.

According to u news item in yesterday's Guar- dian, Mr. Duffy said “The farmers were already run- ning Prince Edward Island, only two city members were elected." 'l‘he two city members are no doubt Mr. Duffy" himself and hir. I-iiggs. Just where he ‘places Attorney-Goiie1"z1l Johnston, Hon. Geo. E.

Hughes and B. W. Lcpage. whose homes are ill Char,

ilottctovrn; lllr. A. C. Saunders, Air. Creel McArthur,

i Mr. A. NicLcan, whose homes are in Summerside,

‘and ilir. S. S. Hessian ‘who hails from a Montague, which is no mean city, and one or two others who <might not be mentioned. it would be interesting fo: Mr. Duffy to explain. . < Mr. Duffy also made the statement that as the farmers ‘were already running things here there was ;no need of the United Farmers movement. In this many will agree with him. Just why farmers" among whom there are many men capable of representing constituencies either Pl'O‘v'lllCl£~ll or Federal should want to send to the city for lawyers o1‘ merchants to represent them, has never been clearly explained; nor has it been explained how a “United“ movement could differ essentially from present conditions.

- It is quite true that there are two representa- tives of the city of Charlottetown, but they are by no means the whole thine‘. Possibly Evlr. Duffy may have been barking; bacl’ to that wcll-reincmbered meeting in (Tharlottettnvn- at which he and his city confrcrc explained to indignant citizens that their taxes were nothing to what they were going to levy on the farmers. It is not so clear that the farmer-s were ‘frunning Prince Etlward Island” ivhen the tax bill went through; although what Mr. Duffy! probab-

mers in the House that prevented the carrying out;

of the promise made to the citizens that their taxes‘; would be reduced from three to two dollars. ’

l l THE EXPLANATION or EXCHANGE

The Canadian Grocer in a recent issue gives the following lucid and intelligible explanation of tho fluctuation of exchange :—

“Perhaps we shall be able to understand the‘ catises for an exchange rate better than in any other. "ray if we place ourselves, for the time being, in the position of the exchange broker or bank.

Let us stipposc we ‘are in business as exchange brokers; [inited States nrerchants come to us for (‘anadian money‘ and Canadians come to us for Unit ed States money. As long as thc (lemzintl from each side is about equal we need only make an infinitesi mal charge, a small "frac-tioii of one per cent being svufficicnt to remuncratc "us. But. let us suppose that we have a very largye deem-and for United States mon

ian money. What can ire do? We must dispose of it in some way and obtain United States currency, in order to carry on our business. The only thing we can do is to go to our financial friends and investors whom we know and induce them to take it from us by offering it to them at a discount. This discount of 5, l0 or l5 per cont, or whatever we may offer, in- duces them to take it from us for investment in Canadian ssccuri ties. This is the only pLlPpOSG to which they can put it, otherwise they would have to hold it and it would be bringing them in no return. As ,ou1' receipts of Canadian money continue we have to offer them still greater inducements to relieve us of it. Naturally" we cannot suffer the loss of’ this discount ourselves, and s we have to charge it to all clients coming to uswith Canadian money to changeffhus as the discount we have to allow increases- so the rate of exchange ll1Cl‘€€1SﬂS,'al'l(l as long as our clients bring us Canadian money and there is no cotmter- balancing demand for it we are obliged to exact a high premium from all who require American money. in exchange for it.

“It will thus be seen that it is reallyvthe Canad- ian merchant himself who causes the rise in the ex- change rate, because he is willing to pay the discount rather than do without American goods.

EDITORIIS-IJ NOTES.

Figuring on the ecstatic delight of Mr. Mac- Kenzie King over his so called victory in West Pet- erboro it is surmised that if by any accident he should win a considerable victory at the general election, it would be too much for him to stand up under. No apprehension’ however, is felt as the chances of seeming anything that could be construed into a victory arer remote. West Peterboro was an accident by which the constituency returned a representatp ive who represents a minority. ,4 _ ' y ‘y
