Further evidence of | this is furnished every time an Ameriâ€" ! can talks about his fiftyâ€"nine cent dolâ€" | lay. factory article that could be offered to| ed States the gold possessor is money, as that is the most convenient substance one can utilize if one desires to make a purchase of anything else, but when we begin to talk of money, we get into another mysâ€" terious subject, for unless money repreâ€" sents gold it begins to be a shaky form of wealth. If anyone doub‘s this he can easily acquire some education by going ‘ at that price in exchange for a dollar down into some of the States remote from Canada and try to buy something | ! I; he feels that he must have gold he is at a store with Canadian money. We are aware that times have hanged | in the past ten years and that if one goes to sufficient trouble to look for an areâ€"ammnvilatimne@ hanker he may find one and several other countries are off the gold standard, in actual fact gold does furnish the standard upâ€" on which the monies of these nations are based. What is really meant by saying that these nations are not on the gold stanâ€" dard is that they are not on the old $20.67 standard, and further that ar ordinary citizen cannot demand goid bill or a pound note as he once could. compelied to go into the markets of the world and buy it at the prevailing rate and keep it in a country which has not imposed restrictions on the private There are however other articles that one could obtain in exchange for gold, one of which would be bonds or underâ€" takings to repay either gold or money at a later date, and we have no doubt the man with gold could obtain sizeable quantities of wheat, lunper or other material of value, or even the title deeds to real estate, but any of these might be difficult of disposal when one wanted to ecither change the form of his investâ€" ment or utilize his wealth in making purchases. The contemplation of tne prublem of discovering an acceptable substitute which might take the place of gold as a combination of a universal standard of value and the means of accumulatâ€" ing negotiable wealth, demonstrates in a way that is easily comprenended, that‘! up to the present no substitute for gold | has been discovered, nor is there likely“ to be any such discovery for many| generations to come ! We trust we have indicated that there| is no insuperable difficulty in finding a | substitute that could fulfil either of these two requirements, that is to say the world could agree, although it wouldl be difficult, on something that would act as a standard of value, as standards| of weights, length, electricity, energy, heat or other properties have been deâ€" vised. but these standards are not reâ€" quired to act as means of accumulation ; it would also be possible to provide avenues whereby a man or a nation could keep piling up wealth, as potenâ€" tates, and men of wealth have done throughout the ages, by investing in land. flocks and herds or securities to say nothing of precious stones, but | these are all too subject to fluctuauon! in value to answer the purpose gold has| fulfilled and is fulfilling for in spite of the assertion that the leading nations of the world are off the gold standard| and business is being conducted on a | aollar or sterling basis without any| official tieâ€"up with gold, every inter-i national merchant or financier knows| that there is a distinct connection beâ€"| tween the monies of all ctvilized nations and gold. . ! | A ces smm mss ue o on on mm ts omm In other words while the statement 18 made that Britain as well as the Unitâ€" These Values are Effective until Saturday night, June 12th. td Flayor Salmon .93 Early 1â€"!b.

L However, for all practical purposes the situation resolves itself{ as rollows:l As long as the United States is willing t» buy gold at $35.00 per ounce, an American dollar is considered to repreâ€" sent oncâ€"thirtyâ€"fifth of an ounce of‘ i gold. and as the British pound is being ,~held by international arrangement at around $4.93 to the pound, at the time of writing the British pound represents approximately oneâ€"seventh of an ounce of gold. | The interesting feature about this | whole subject is that both the United States and Great Britain have for some time been buying gold at the prices we have indicated, giving in exchange certain quantity of money. Now it seems reasonable to conclude that if ‘either of these nations arbitrarily % change the price of gold: downward, they will automatically recuce the value ‘of their holdings of gold and if they | decide to sell any of their accumulated gold they will receive fewer and ! pounds than they gave in exchange for this gold with the result that someone ‘m' some in.‘itution will hold money that the governments of these nations must ed States and several other countries are off the gold standard, in actual fact gold does furnish the standard upâ€" on wh‘itch the monies of these nations ‘ This proess would ertainly pcrove disastrous to any government adopting |iL and it is hard to understand why lany of those affected should contemâ€" ‘plate any such action unless they were confronted by a situation that could not be cured by any other means. The reason or excuse put forward by lthose suggesting the probability of a ‘ change in the price of gold is that some } We then found that there was a SIOWâ€" ,ing down in production because prices | were so low that it did not pay to proâ€"| duce Orâ€" manufacture â€" commodities. iPrices generally rise from one of two. | causes; either there is a scarcity of the !desired article or there is too much | money in comparison with the quantity !of the commodity, and there are two ways of halting the quantity of money | and the other is by increasing the proâ€" \ duction of the desired article. We may be astray in our reasoning, | but it does appear that in the light of the experience of the world since 1929 the sanest way to check the skyrocketâ€" ing of values is to speed up the producâ€" tion of the things purchasers are outâ€" bidding one another to secure, Anyway, it seems ridiculous for peoâ€" |ple t allow themselves to work up a \ temperature over a possible overâ€"supply of gold when one realizes that though | there is reported to be an accumulatton recdgnize and accept in payment of obâ€" ligations to the government and for which the nations have received no value. A 24 cA 2kA n | of over eleven and a half billions worth | of gold owned by the United States i Government, which looks like a itreâ€" | mendous figure, this quantity only | works cut at slightly less than $100 | worth for each individual citizen of that country. Now at $35.00 per ounce this ‘means that if each person owned the | amount of gold that bears the same prcportion to the nation‘s holding as he does to the total population he would have less than three ounces to worry about. Now prior to the change l in the price of gold, large numbers of " individuals and institutions were rather partial to possessing gold, and drastic measures had to be resorted to in some instances to compel them to hand it cver to the Government. It is quite conceivable that there are still people wha would not be unwilling to forego the earning power Oof some of their wealth if they were allowed to possess it in gold, particularly if they were as reasonably sure as they used to be that | its value would not change. such move is necessary to put a curb on the advance in values of commodities, but surely the public mind hnas not forâ€" gotten that one of the main causes of the depression was the slump in he market value of everything.

The amazed populace watched huge families of rats gang up on the arch enemies and do what every rat has always wanted to do. They deâ€" veloped the technique of hunting in gangs. When a cat was sighted, one of the bigger and braver rats would slip away from the group. he:assumed the terrified rat expression that cats are so used to seeing; the victim started the hunt, the "dare to die" decoy led him into an ambush, and then the Doherty Roadhouse Co. â€"~STOCK BROKERS Timmins, 19 Pine North Toronto Kirkland Lake 293 Bay Street 34 Government Rd.
