The correspondence is businesslike and to the point. Senator Howlan deserves the highest praise for the manner in which he has conducted the movement. It now only remains for the people of Prince Edward Island to send representatives to Parlia- ment who will support the Government and strongly advocate the matter, to make the Northumberland Straits tunnel a great reality.

Mount Stewart Meeting.

a

We regret that Toe EXxaMiIner’s repor; of the meeting held at Mount Stewart last evening has been delayed. Advices by telephone state that the meeting was a large one and decide tly favorable to the Liberal-Conservative candidates, both of whom delivered capital speeches, producing an excellent impression.

Notes and Comments.

We shall now have ‘free rum” dur- ing an election contest. Let us see how temperate the city will be.

—Another Bumb! On Saturday evening Mr. Edgar Judge, a former president ot one of the **Liberal Associations,” dropped a bombshell into the Montreal grit camp by repudiating the party policy.

[sit not a little strange that pronounced anneXxationists everywhere are in favor of commercial union, now named ‘‘unrestrict- ed reciprocity?’ And is there “not a sig- nificance in the fact that the best men in the Liberal ranks are denouncing the fad ?

~The grits have again selected John V. Ellis as their standard-bearer for St. John City. In his paper, the Globe, he has al- ways advocated annexation; and although denounced during the interim of elections by the loyal Telegraph, the party of purity and principle again accept the ‘traitor’ as its nominee !

A letter from a commercial traveller iu New Brunswick toa firm in this city, contains the following paragraph :

‘* This election is going to interfere with us drummers, but for my part I am willing to put up with it if you Island grits as well as all the grits in Canada wili get a good whip- ping which you are sure to get,

‘Ii the Yankees were to get the grits in power in Canada we might say good by to Dominion manufactures, as they would take the field with their goode and drive na little concerns out of exis*euce—but thank God that day is far distant.”

—Ona Tuesday of this week Mr. Erastus Wimen addressed a meeting of his fellow citizens at Lousville, Kentucky. He made the usual appeal for help to his party in Oaneda. ‘The Liberal party.” he ob- served, ‘‘which have adopted Unresticted Reciprocity as the chief platform, appeal to the country for support on the ground of friendliness to the United States, and the prospect of its success is remarkably good.’ After having assailed the Tories of Canada and informed Louisville that ‘‘their whole career gave the lie to their sincerity,” he made this appeal to Ken- tucky sympsthy : ** The moment isa ecrt- ical one. The Liberal party has been de- feated three times ; another defeat would be fatal to it and perpetuate a party in power whose pelicy has been inimical to this country. ‘therefore it is of the great- est importance that every influence should be exerted toward securing the passage of the resolution recommended in order that a Liberal victory in Canada may be as- sured,”

The Official Tra‘'e Returns

For 1899.

Decreasing Market in the United States, and Increasing Market in Great Britain. |

Splendid Showing for Our Cheese and Cattle.

oe \

The official trade returns of Canada for [890 contain some startling and satisfactory features. The tables of the Trade and

i Navigation Returns for the fiscal year end-

ing June 30, 1890, are now made public in detail for the first tite, and contain much that is of vital importance at this junc ture. }

The grand aggregate trade of Canada for | 1890, on the basis of total exports and im- ports, was $218,607,300, as against $204,- 414,098 in 1859.

This aggregate has only been surpassed by two other years since Cunfederaticn, namely, in 1882, when the total trade was $221 556.703, and in 1883, when it was, $230,339,826, both being high-tide years all over the world, and the unusua imports for railway construction in Canada also affect- ing the figures. | ah

This increased trade for 189) was dane with a number of countries, the principal inéreases being as follows

1889, i899 Great Britain ......93),422.315 991,742,935 Freneé. <. .5 2,562,893 2.89%, 54 Germany..... 3,836,173 4,286,136 Portugal... 238,106 291,811 MA <0 st 186 186 244,545 Hotliend ..... 414 302 423 209 Belgium ..... : 595 493 763,149 China and Japan . 2.048.712 2 161,816 Switzerland... .... i635 903 316,923

The largest and most noticeable decrease was in our trade with the United States, which declined from $94,059,844 to $92,- 814,783 in 1890.

'

Not only did the total trade substantial’y | increase, but tha exports are alse greatly | ahead of the pr vious year, being $96,749,- 149, against $89,189,167 in 1839 This is the largest total for the past seven years, and is only beaten by three years since 1879, and by none before that time. Anslyzivg this total it is found that. our export trade with a number of coun- | tries shows a gratifying inc:ease,as follows :

1889. 1899 FREDERICK HORNE, Great Brifain....... $°8,1°5,126 $49,353 694 febS—dw Auctioneer. Germany....... 143,673 7.43 ee PERRET oe 13,526 69 788 | CRONE ciicviseysa% 166 631 207.777 | MDa cksibaeksses 60 062 $1,059 South America ..... 1,488,999 1,551 887 Other Countries .. 481 U51 695,924

Under this heading of exports by far the most remaikable decrease is in the case of th» United Sta e , which consumed almost $3,000,000 iess in 1890 than in 1889, the figures being for 1889, $43,522,404, and for 1890, $40,522,810.

It will thus be seen that the essential feature of the trade returns for 1890 is the great increase of our trade with B itsin, an analysis of the details going to show that it is av increase which will grow rapidly in the future.
