I WAR AND COMMERCE- The mere apprehension of war breaking out between Great Britain and France has caused no small dis- turbance in the stock and produce markets of the world, but this effect is infinitesimal compared with what would occur in the event of actual warfare between those two great and commercially related nations. The annual exchange of goods and products across the Channel now reaches figur- es that are almost fabulous in amount. This vast commerce, vital to the wel- fare of both nations, must cease at once-with a declaration of war. In- dustries on both sides of the Channel would be paralysed, commerce would stagnate till new outlets would be found and untold suffering must be endured by many ncw engaged in flourishing factories. In fact the immediate consequences of the begin- ning of war between these two great nations after eighty years of. peace be- tween them, can only be contemplat- ed with horror by right-thinking minds~ Even upon other and neutral na- tions the effect would be of a very serious chaiacter. It will be fresh in the memory of older readers that the war between the northern and south- ern states ofthe republic beside us created very great distress in the cot- tcn manufacturing districts of Eng- land, though Great Britain had no share in the war. Already the Ameri- can people are speculating upon how their interests would be aifected by a war between Britain and France, and rightly so, for the commercial and industrial affairs of the entire world would be seriously involved in the struggle. The trade relations of one commercial nation_now touch every other country aiid would be inter- ruptedfand menaced by the consequent blockades and the danger of seizure to carrying vessels. This would be the more disturbing from the fact that one half the carrying trade of the world is now conducted by ves- sels carrying the British Hag. All this trade, including that of Canada, would be in danger from hostile war vessels. Henry Clews & Co of N ew York, to the possible war as a » disturbing element at the present times, and al- so give expression in the following the pretensions of France: “Outside the Stock ilxchange, some solicitude is felt as to what may be the outcome of the sensitive relations between England and France. War between two such powerful nations, with the possibility that other countries might become involved. is not a matter to which New York could beindiiiereut. One of the first effects must be a sharp disturbance in all the many centres of the world, the results of which it is impossible to prejudge_ England is by far our largest customer. Including the colonies, we send to the British domi- uious 70 per cent of our exports,aud they send to us one-third of our entire im- ports,-making a business of close upon $900,000,000 between the Repub- lic and the Empire. The possible dis. tnrbance of such a large volume ci our ocean trade is a mattei the mere poss- nly a From thef‘ almost” to the “altogether Y_`a_u can just as well have the altogether right as the almost right-by trading QC -.000 hew- U6 S126 EE FURNITURE from factory to user. _ _ WE make it-you buy it- no freight to pay, no middleman’s profit, Q: Ju “W 'il ilu. 1 sri " 75 ‘ 1 . .f ` " . ` I " . - _ . - .. -_ ` *V ` ` if f " -'I ' _gi bl ~ gi: -I) x ` ` 'A V .. `f’\€.- » . ’ “ -.

In the general estimate nt public opinion, li»-r claim is a very filo sy one. And, if it were not, she so entirely lacks tue qualities and resourcts for uiiliz ne bsrbarous populations. tha’ the ,can e would no: be worth her powder. More- over. she would hav; no chance in war against the doubly powerful -navy oi GreatBritain.and would,in all probabil- ity.conie out ofthe struggle stript of the colonies of which she takes so- much g account but makes so little use. Sober, Frenchman lore-ee this so plainly tbntl it seems reasonable to expect that France will hnzilly take a canst-rvaiivey couzse. 'l`hc only chance for her being? less prudent lies in the possibility that the uzilitiiry party may precipitate wart in order to divert attention from thc t shame brought upon the country by the false trial of Dreyfus, and also to save the nation from a revolution which is n nt ar possibilitp_” _<_ One of the matters to be determin- ed in the state elections that are to come off next week is the complexion i of the Washington Senate. There are 1 thirty senators whose terms expire next week, of whom fifteen are Demo- crats, eleven Republicans, and four Silver Republicans and Populists. Among the sixty senators whose terms do not expire this year the Re- publicans have so large a. majority that if they secure twelve out of the thirty to be now elected they will re- tain a majority of the full Senate. Mr. Wilkie, the president of the Canadian Banliersf Association, in a recent address concludes _their the time is near at hand when Canada will need a mint of her own. In 1887 the output of metals from all the mines in Canada was $2,118,000 and in 1897 it had reachednearly$l-1,000,-" 000. Next ycar, if the Klondyke does well, the yield may be $25,000,- 000. By that time Canada ought to have its own mint. It will be a. good advertisement for the Dominion to have a. 'gold and silver coinage minted in the country from our own precious metals. - _ In an Australian letter to the. Monetary Times t f~ Toronto n_iention` is made that the Massey-Harris Com- pany sold in those far-oil' colonies last year almost $2,500,000 worth of qheir implements and machines. _ The company’s sales in N ew South Wales were three and one half times as great as in the previous year. 0 In tl1B| Australian colonies the Compfinyhas I in its employ over 500 _and 000,000. And all this business has been built up in about -seven years. This is big business for one Canadian company to transact on the other side ot' the globe. i --_...__ Just as we expected, and as has happened in every city .where a__;,.'pub-_- lic library has been set up, doiiicioiks” of books are oi¥'ei-ing to supplement* the number that may Our _ esteemed ¢ correspondeiit'-,- Dr._t_ Clifib Whose lettér appeaiis in »ianother“ °°1“mD» leads of with a donation of shelves are ready.
