1916, though both ends of the road are

ical reafiirma^ of "the Progressive
platform of 1912" to which "we pledge
our continued allegiance" is the best
that can be done for the^passtonate
battle cry of four years ago? With
such a reaffirmation the "declaration

sive national committee, opens; and
It closes with a still more hollow-sound-

ciliation and defiance. "If the Repub-

publican party into being," etc., then

ity being reserved entirely for the ar-
raignment of the Wilson administra-
tion. But even in that part of the
declaration it is difficult to. see any*

paign for the presidency can be built
up. There is a strong demand for pre-

The bank clearings of Winnipeg for
1915 were a billion and a. half of dol-
lars. Think of it. Then, In addition
there were the bank clearings of the
other cities throughout Western Can-
ada. Regina, Saskatoon and Moose
Jaw also show big increase in clear- ,
ings." The Winnipeg statistics, show
that the city has done the -biggest
financial, commercial and industrial
business in its history in 1915.
billion and a half are big clearings,
representing business on a per cap-
ita basis of over $7,000 per head for
every man, woman and child in the
city, and has gone ahead of big man-
ufacturing cities like Buffalo-,-* and
runs a close second to Detroit. It
has shown bigger bank clearings than
the middle west cities of Minneapolis
and Duluth, and ha§§ exceeded Los
Angeles, Seattle and other noted ship-
ping centers. It is now side by side
with „ th^.ten^ biggest cities in North
America in amouiit- bf bank clearlrfgs.
But because the! war helped Canada
recover quickly from a natural eco-
nomic depression it does not follow
that, at the end of the war, the coun-
try must suffer a i-elapse, and straight-
way return to a state of inactivity and
hard times.

one period to' another. The staggering
figures of this year's crop, showing in-
creases in production of 50 per cent
over last year, give a slight.idea of the
future wealth stored in vast stretches
of prairie plain yet untouched by the
plow. The Northwest Grain-Dealers' As-
sociation on September 1 estimated
that the wheat crop of the,three Prairie
Provinces would amount to 250,800.000
bushels. On November 10 that esti-
mate was increased to 307,230,000
bushels. The Dominion government
on September 13 estimated the West-
ern wheat crop at 275,7-72,200 bushels,
but-o'n October 15 those .figures were
changed to> 304,200,000 bushels. .
Monetary Returns for the Westerft
- Crop. ' •
And the amount of money which the
west is receiving for its grain has not
yet been wholly appreciated. IJp ^o
the 10th of December the Canadian
west had received some 170 million
dollai-s for 182 million bushels of ita
grain crop, of which 149 million bush-
els was wheat. The average price of
No. i Northern wheat for September
was -93% cents; for October 98^
cents, and for tho first three weeks o{
November $i,()3%. 'On the 10th Of"
December there was fully 120 million
bushels of wheat to be marketed. This
would leave about 30 million bushels
for local consumption in the Prairie
Provinces.

ally large, prices pay the farmer, and
