'Ille Charlottetown Guurdlnn does < rut necessarily endorse the opinions of correspondents. 4 'run BALANCE or 'rn.\Dn Sir,-Mr._¥‘J" is either unable or unwilling to make a clear distinction between national and international trade. and this fact makes it s little difficult toveonduct with him a clear discussion on the above subject and arrive at satisfactory results. My friend complains by saying that I took two attitudes in regard to his question-that first I said it was im- portant and that I did not under- stand it, and lat/er I said ll/was very simple and gave the answer. I plead guilty to this charge. When my friend propoimded t his question I thought that if I could get him to answer lt, or try toanswer lt, himself her would see the whole ques- tion in a clearer light than by any answer I could give. I therefore magnlned the importance of the question and the difiiculty of answer- ing it. and asked my friend to try it himself.~ He rose to this ily and gave his answer, which showed the un- souridnesa of his position and the simplicity of his question. My friend also complains that I put his question in my own words, which is true. By pursuing this course I think I made the question clearer, and I am quite sat- isfied that I gave its correct mean- ing. At all events. when Mr. “J” did not object to the formula of words I used, but essayed to answer the question in the way I had put lt, he accepted my formula and could not therefore in logic object. to it later. But after all, these are triflllng incl- dentnls and I would much rather try to get at the real merits of the ques- tion. Mr. “J” seems to think that the .cue hundred thousand dollars paid for the first cargo of wheat sent out was all the money there was in Can- ada, and therefore when Mr. “A". the exporter, brought back one hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars worth of .merchandise there was not money enough in the country l/0 Doi' f01' V-he importation. This is certainly a gra- tuitous assumption, but let it go and let us try to understand what we mean by money. Actual money in a. commercial sense is gold and silver coin-s.nd'mcn who think they know. tell us that less than five per cent of international trade is carried on by means of such coin, and a smaller percentage still of national trade is carried on in that way. All tmde in the last analysis is barter, but inas- much cs it would be impossible to carry on s. tenth part of the trade of the world, if wc exchanged goods for goods, the most part of the-human 'race has adopted bits of paper as tokens of value to facilitate the ex- chnngo of goods. and this method has been found Lo work well. These bits of paper consist of Bank” notes, gov- ernment notes, privaic and Company notes, cheques, drafts, bills of ex- change, etc., etc., and when these bits of paper represent real value and are signed by responsible people and 'arc redeemable at stated times and in proper places, they pass from hand to hand and very greatly fac- ilitate the exchange of goods, but are of no value in themselves. All real wealth consists of the products of the sed. the products of the land, such as grains of all kinds. vcgetables of all kinds. fruits of all kinds, minerals of nil kinds, animals and their prod- ucts, implements of production and use, implements of art and retino- ment, such as.muslc, painting, sculp- ture, books, magazines, newspapers. all the productions of the hand and the brain of man, if wholesome and mor- al, are useful and have a value. and the exchange of these things among the pwple is what constitutes trade. and is a very real factor in the pro- gress of the race' and the advance- ment of civilization. ' Now, when Mr. "A" exported his cargo of wheat to Great Britain he sold to the British le an article of food that we could oduce cheap- er than they could; the consequence was that the people of t country got cheaper and more read than they could otherwise' cbt ln, and the standard of living and e standard of civilization in Great itsin was / raised to that extent. n Mr. "A" brought back merchandi in ex- change, the fair assump n is that he imported useful srtlcleathat could be produced in Great Bri‘l§ cheap- er and better than we co produce them: the conse¢l\l°l1°° W that we got more useful articles than ecould otherwise obtain and the s dard of living and the standard Of lviliza- tlon in Canada was raised to t ex- tent, and the great indust-YY ° ans- portatlon was stimulated and. ain- tained and the consuming im pro- ductive capacity of both pe0P ln- creased. Again. the useful thin!! in Ca B that would be exchanged for the _ _ lui thlngsiimporlcd in no way pended upon the amount of coin the country-whether it was larse small-and would have no more to dd, with the ability of the P00916 *D P\1l"] ghggg gud pny 101' Whllt i»hBy fequipa 'ea man me letters M.. “.1” me mv- self are ~wri¢il\l 45° U16 PFW- 'nw real ability of Canadians to purchase me psy for what may require da- pends upon the productivity of t e muntry. the energy. ente\‘Pl'i80 *nd mdustry of the people. and when Mr. "A" sold s. cargo of wheat. 01' UW' 11 Keep Your Health T0-NIGHT TRY _ ` - A s s llinardsi Lmimont A (lf tllll LCM llld \|I\l'|¢Gl||||’- °""%i'1°" U sy u»a¢Ko1soL£‘Ln nsnrsngsl A . . .

If Mr. “J” cannot see this, I will have to tum him over to another teacher. because there is no one so blind as the man who will not see. _ Mr. "J's" story about the tree that was worth two dollars in Halifax and was, shipped to Portland, Maine. manufactured into paper worth fifty dollars, which was sent back to Can- ada. means. I suppose, that we are ex- porting too much raw material, and importing too much of the manufac- tured artlcle. The tree story, how- ever. like the report of Artemas Wa.rd's death, ls greatly exaggerated, but that does not mutter. I must however, remind my friend that ev- ery trading country in the world im~ ports and exports large quantities of raw material. Even the United Stat- es of America, which is hlgbll’ DFO- tected and highly commcrciallzed and industrialized, exports large quantiti- es of raw material. Moreover, thisls a fact. Canada is exporttng less and less raw material every year in pro- portion to her total exports, and is exporting more und more manufact- ured and s”e`inl-manufactured goods every year in proportion t`o her total exports. Whether we are making as much- progress as we could and- should make in that direction is of course n fair subject for discussion, but that we. are making very com. mcnduble progress cannot be ques- tioned. ' Apparently my friend, Mr. "J" does not intend to answer my question in regard to the matter of “Labor” in thc production of goods, I will' there- fore endeavor to present my views on that phase of _the subject in my next letter. f I am. Sir, otc.. STUDENT i _ SRP. C. A. NOTES Sir,;I was pleased to read in a recent issue of the "Guardian" that P. E. I. has an active society for tho prevention of cruelty to animals. Now, 1 believe there is very little that can be done to those who ill-treat their horses for they are, as stated, hard to Bet at. There is another form of cru- elty. and you barely touched the fringe of it when you mentioned vis- itlng a slaughter 'house where Digs were killed. What I refer to is the shipping of live hogs from various points in P. E. I. to Montreal and other distant r-ities, under unsuitable conditions. This prolonged agony (lasting for a week or more) is be- yond descrlption. I need not go into details. Any one who has seen a. cal' load of those unfortunate animals at any time during the past years can visualise the torture they are sublect- ed lo. I have spoken to many ianners about this, and with few exceptions they say they do not receive any more for them than if thev were slaughter- ed at home in the old way. All dumb annuals were given to us for our use. not for our abuse and I believe God will hold ug responsible for all un- necessary cruelty. I wish the S. P. C. A. would try to enlist the farmers in a crusade asainst this wav of shill- plng live animals. or provide a. m0l‘6 humane wav or transportation- The chicken killing is another hor- ror whinh I will not ao into but that at its worst is of short duration. ` I am, Sir. etc..

A third rea- .son why the oil deterlorates faster at this season is that the operating temperature of the engine ls genea- ally lower. That simply means that raw gasoline is seeping down the Syl. inder walls and entering the crank- case where it dilutes the lubricant. LIMIT ON LOOSENEBS A loose valve means more power than one that is tight, as most mot- orists believe. but after a certain de- gree of freedom in valve action, losgehess. wo; reduces the power out- mwms rnountesoma. 'roo New brake linings usually are the car owner’s first thought when the de- celeration is not what he thinks it should be. It is well not to forget that brake drums frequently become scored and wom, with the result that the lining does not contact with the drum surface. WINTERTHVIE OIL CHANGE Winter requires more frequent oil changes. The 500-mile interval us- ually ls the standard. Why not make the change each time the speedo- meter registers on the 500 or at most the 1.000-mile mark? .MAKES METER ACCURATE Motor meter accuracy is vital in cold weather. The only way to get the maximum of accuracy out of the ldevlice is to keep the water level 8 - . TESTING ANTI-FREEZE Battery hydrometers frenuentlv are used to test the anti-freeze solution.
