By doing this, the market is never overstocked, for the demand is always greater than the supply, and the price received is much greater than the cost of produc- tion, including the interest on the money invested at compound ; What Lesson for Canada? No reader of this Journal will, of course, fall into the error of picturing Canada, at her present economic mile- post, as able to multiply Germany's revenue, per acre, by Canada's poten- tial timber-growing area. Germany's revenues, like those of France and Switzerland, are the product very largely of a keen local demand for wood materials in all forms, a re- stricted supply, and zealous manage- ment of the forest itself as the repro- ductive source of raw materials. Canada, however, may read in the experience of European countries a prophecy of immense industrial de- velopment of vast public revenues, of increased population and an .over- flowing export trade, reared upon the pillars of an undimini-hing forest. When Canada has 50 millions of population, every square mile of for- est will assume an economic import- ance now undreamed of.
