JohDi, Urscon. Official Mwi;tptr of lh Oily of nt. John. Subiorlptlon prloo $1.00 per yenr. Thnt prosperity and depression in the business world have alter nated in seven year periods is nrettv conclusively proven by J. M. Hawthorne of Seattle, who has gained his information from Government reports. Dun's. Bradstrcet's and numerous other authentic sources. He has de- sicned and prepared a chart showing the seven year periods between 188Gand 1914. which is highly interesting. In 188G seven good years began; in 1893 seven bad years began ; in 1900 the good year period again open ed: in 1907 the bad years began, and this year the seven good years begin. While the chart only outlines the years between 188G and 1914, within the mem ory of most adults, yet Mr. Hawthorne states the same con ditions prevailed for at least the past one hundred and sixty. nine years. The author has the lol lowing to say regarding it: This chart, together with the explanations and comments, was written after a somewhat ex haustive examination into the periods oi prosperity and do pression which have existed dur- ! ii i I i i I lllg U1U )1131, UUU lIUIIUIL'U mm sixty-nine years. Much to my surprise I found that periods of prosperity and depression had alternated, at least, since 1745, and that such alternating tier iods had existed in all commer cial countries at practically the sumo time. There is really nothing sur prising about alternating per ioub oi prosperity and dopres sion any more than there is about summer and winter, day and night, heat and cold, nega tlvo and nositive. wet weather and dry weather, the swing of the pendulum, or the rise and fall of the tide. It is a fact of history that panics are International, and that they have embarrassed every commercial country at practically the same time. The great majority of mankind havo supposed that panics were caused by tree trade or low tariffs or high tariffs, when, as a matter of fact, they havo prostrated every commercial country at practically the same time regardless of its tarill or lack of tariff. To illustrate: The panic period which com menccd in 1897, and which, if history repeals itself, is about at an end, prevailed all over the business world. It broke in this country under the Dingley high tarilf existed under tin' Payne- Aldrich high tarilf, and has con tinued under the Underwood low tariff. It has ravaged Canada under a moderately high tarill and is very sovero there today. Western tturopo with varying tariffs sullorcd from it and Kng land under free trade was (lis tressed by it. During the same period its palsied hand was felt in South Africa, Australia, India, China, Japan, Argentina and Urazil. Speaking generally, panics like commerce are International. They disregard Presidents, Kings and timporors and pay no heed to parties in power or policies in lorce. The present depression in the United States would havo existed just tho same if Mr. Taft had been reelected or if Mr. Kooso volt had succeeded. Present conditions would have been as they aro if tho Payne-Aldrich tarill had not been repealed. Why 7 Hecause conditions are prac tically tho same today in Hug land under tree trade and in Franco and Germany under high tariits as they are in this country. Tho conditions which have preceded every period of pros perity Binco 1745. and which ex ist today, aro given on tho chart under tho heading, "Dawning Trospenty. ' Among the con ditions noted aro "A lack of con fidenco" and "A vast accumula tion of money in tho banks far in excess of tho required re serves." In no instance do those re quired reserves exceed so por cent, but today all over tho United States there is in the banks approximately 45 per cent ot all ot their deposits. In Seattle some banks have in their vaults over 50 per cent of their deposits. Theso conditions of a lack of confidence and vast accumula tions of moneys in tho banks existed in 1885, just before tho boom period which commenced in 1880 and existed in 189S and early in 1899, just boforo the seven year boom period which began all over the country in 1900. Conditions the very reverse of which exist today, havo exist ed beforo every panic. In 1906 and up to July, 1907, confidence was everywhere.

The city council has taken up the matter of either securing a long term lessee for the city dock or selling it outright. To our mind it would seem una 11 the dock could be sold to some manufacturing concern, a paper manufactory, for instance, it would be a great thing for the city. It is difficult to see how a municipal dock in St. Johns can over prove a paying investment. The city engineer states that ten years more will likely end the life of the dock. If this be true, tho dock building from now on is depreciating at the rate of almost $2, GOO per year. Add to this the interest, insurance, re pairing, dock watchman, etc., which will mean probably S-1300 per yenr more. Can any one show how any concern can do enough business through a dock in bt. Johns to justify them in tho expenditure of $0800 per year? If it manufacturing com- nnnv Hlinu hi niii(liiiH( it.

Hut it is a matter of fact thai Portland wants its docks as near the heart of the city as possible. and tho business interests thero would in all probability strongly object to utilizing tho St. Johns dock even if this city was a part of Portland. So to sell the dock would seem to be tho best plan, especially if it could be sold to a largo manufacturing company, unless it could bo leased at not less than $000 per month to break near oven. Hniloy Kay Leach, editor of "Justice." continues tho debate on "Hesolved, That All Churches Should bo Wiped Oil the ftlap," in his issue ot last Friday. Hut havo decided that it would wo avail nothing to continue tho discussion. Mr. Leach denies that Christianity is of divine origin; that Jesus was tho Son of God; that Jesus founded tho Christian Church, and that Christianity has civilized the world. In support of theso denials he advances no facts whatever, but upholds his con tentious with assertions mainly. t ...1 !i 11 1 mm 11 is 1110 usual narrow rea soning ot tho intidel. couched. perhaps, in a little different language. To prolong the dis cussion would lead to nowhere. To argue religion with an unbe liever is altogether useless, be cause it is entirely beyond their power of conception that there could be anything beyond tho grave. They rarely have faith, hope, or charity- all is hope loss; they live only to die, with no hope of anything better in another world. To discuss fur ther, knowing the short range of an infidel's mind in things celestial, would bo utterly futile and foolish. An infidel is al ways to bo pitied rather than condemned, Somehow in his darkened mind, perhaps, ho bo- zlo to be used shall be made of wire or other suitable substance and so adjusted about the head and mouth of the dog to insure the safety of persons or animals from being bitten thereby.
