Every now and again something is said about the growing prosper- ity of Canada, and it is greedily quoted by the Liberal press as evi- dence of benign Liberal rule. This prosperity has come in spite of and not by the help of Liberal rule. Magnificent harvests, the de-elopment of Canadian mineral wealth and huge investments in tlltlpensda by American economists, have created the prosperity.
