FIGURES THAT TELL- A mutual friend of Tae Examiner and thé ceuntry recently compiled the follow- ing etatistics from the official records. The figures are valuable and ought to be borne in mind when considering the ques- tion whether the National Policy or the basiard policy of the Opposition is the better for Canada, and particularly for our farmers. First, as to imports of farm products.
In the year ending 30th June, 1878, there were imported into Canada (free of duty and broughi into competition with of oats ;
our products) 2,162,292 bushels
in the year ending 30th June, 18953, only
44,264 bushels, which duty to the
amount of $4,426 was collected In 1878, there were imported
on
146,823 bushels of rye; and in 1893 only 302 bush In 1878, 7,387,507 of were imported free of duty, displacing
1893, bat 2,031,375 bushels of corn wer2 import ed, yielding to{the revenue $152,347. Thus differ-
ence favorable to our farmers of upwards
els. bushels
corn
Canadian-grown oats and peas; in
in these three articles there was a
of 7,000,000 bushels of coarse grains worth $2,075,941; and while, no duty was ob- tained from the heavy importations of 1878, $156,803 were obtained in 1893, relieving
she people of that much in taxation.
Again, in 1878, there were imperted into
Canada 226,850 bbls of cornmeal taking

It was a Conservative Government, backed by the Conservative that purchased from the Hudson Bay Company the great Western land which will yet be territory of half a dozen provinces. “It was a Conservative Gov- ernment, backed by the Conservative party, that held out the hand of welcome to British Columbia, when the Pacific province sought admisssion to the Atlan- tic Provinces union. It was a Conserva tive Government, backed by the Con- servative party, that pushed through the construction of the Irtercolonial Railway, and commercially, as well as politically, united the Provinces to Quebec and Ontario. It was a Conservative Government that conceived the idea of a railway to join the provin- ees of the Atlantic seabord to British Col- umbia on the pacific, and which, backed 4 by the Conservative party, pledged the country’s faith that such a railway would be constructed. For its sins that Govern- ment was condemned to five years in op- position; but its Liberal supplanters were unequal to the task set before them.

When a Conservative Government was called back in 1878, there were some locks under construction at some for-
gotten point on the Rainy River; Winpi peg, the capital of the new Province of Manitoba, could pot be reached except througha foreign country’sterritory; British
and dissatisfied, and to get to any point half a day’s journey west of Winnipeg, the ox cart or the buckboard were the avail- able means of transport. The Conserva- tive Government set to work in the spirit of faith, and, inside of seven years, a pa- senger could get on the train at Halifax, on the Pacific, without quitting Canadian territory. The fertility of the great We-t was made available, and the Province of Manitoba, that, in 1878, produced lees than five willion bushels of wheat, last yeir produced more than thirty million bush- els. The foundations of new provinces have been laid west of Manitoba. The vast mineral wealth ef British Columbia has been made available. Steamship lines have been established on the Pacific, to supplement those on the Atlantic, and a gr-at travel roate between Europe and Asia has been created over Canadian terri tory. There is not one of these projects that the Liberal party did not criticize, object to or pronounce impracticable. They have been the party of destruction, as the Conservatives have been the party of construction. If the Canadian people want anything done it is to the Conserva- tive party they must look.

In respect to pork the change bas been even greater. In 1890 the export of hog products was not quite $650,000, but last year they amounted to nearly four millions of dollars. In 1890 the duty on pickled pork was raised from 1 cent a pound to 1} and meats from 2 cents to 3
cured cents a pound, The effect of the increase or duty
cents, on &moked and
was to encourage the production of pork in Can- ada and to discourage its importation. In
1390 heg products to the value of $1,458,-
Pn
285 were imported into the Dominion ; in 1895 the value of the pork, bacon, hams aud lard imported was only $309,436 This was a very great reduction in five years. The increase of duty, it may be said, almoet drove American pork out of the Canadian market, and it also had ‘the effect of making Canada a competitor, and a successful competitor, too, with the United States in the foreign market. In 1°90 the foreign shipments of hog meats were only 7,730,971 it $645,360; in 1 of such meats was 41,930,348 pounds, valued at $3,943,275.

In 1878 there were shipped from Canada $1,152,334 worth of cattle ; in 1893, $7,745,033 worth, lu 1478 there were shipped of agricu - tural products $32,028,611 worth, and in 1893 $53,785,989 worth.

—In reply to a question, the Minister of Agricultvre recently made the following statement : “Upto the present, Professor tobertson has performed the duty of agri- culturist and dairy commissioner aa well. He asked to be relieved of the duties of agriculturist on account of his jime being fully occ 1pied in promoting our dairy in- terests and in his successful efforts to aid our cheese and butter interests in the Eng* lish markets. It was felt that these dut- ies were £0 important and Professor Rob- ertson so wel. titted to perform them that we felt that we should meet his request, and his resignation as agricul turist was therefore accepted. He was named “Canadian Dairy and Agricultural Commissioner.” In consequence of this, the question of the appointment of a first- class practical man to take charge of the live stock and agricultural department is under consideration. The appointment has not yet been mane, but we hope to be able to get a first-class made. I have re- ceived # great number of recommendations of a leading man in the stock industry.” —A correspondent writes a letter to the Springfield, Mass.. Republican, in which he argues that it is to the interest of the United States to remain friendly with Great Britain. He says: “When we con- sider the many attractions of Australian and New Zealand life, it appears quite inevitable that they should draw Jarge numbers from the other land as well as | from Great Britain, when America has | growr: crowded. It is estimated they will | have thirty millions in a score of veare. | Cecil Rhedes is opening to immigration | bigh and healthful table lands towards | the Zam besi—an enormous territory. Ger
} mans will drift there, as they have gone — | into the Transvaal.
What attractions can German colonies ruled by Berlin martin- ets hold out compared with the free, stim- ulating, redundant, boisterous, jovial life among adventurous Anglo-Saxons — of whom, by tLe way, there are about elev n millions in England’s dependencies. Ky the end of the first quarter or third of the next century thore lands will tem with fifty millions, and the British Premier stand at the head of one hundred millions. Picture such a democratic power in close harmony with a United States of till more massive force. What a moral pres- sure could be exerted on the medieval na-
went hand in hand with an increased sup-
tions to treat all men with justice !”
