A good deal of elf-nrt has been

made to show that our trade with Great Britain has not increased as the result- of the preferential tai-itl`. It is no part of our duty to tleil with the party aspect of tl-e case, but it may beworth while ti quote a. few facts from the trade and navigation re- turns.

The vohiiiie of Cmadian tradigtihat-

is the grand total of imports and ex- ports, with all countries, shows the following totals during the past four years :

1895 8221420485 1896 239,025,360 1897 ~25>7,168.862 1898 304,475,736

Thus our import and export trade

with all the world increased during the four years by something over $80,000,000. Our trade is principally with Great Britain and the Uni;ed States. Out of the 304 millions of our total trade in 1898 nearly 262 millions was with these two countries, or more than five sixtlis of the whole. It will therefore be of interest to note how our trade with Britain and the United.States respectively has pro- gressed during the past 'four years. The figures showing our trade with the United States_ are as follows: _

1895 S 95,932,197 1896 103,022.434 1897 111,022,513 1898 12-1.410.926

Here we have an increase of 818,-

500,000 in round hgures within the four year.-i term. In the same period our total trade with Great Britain was as follows: - 1895 $92 988 727 1896 99 670 030 1897 106 639.690 1898' 13-1.499.735

Here we have an increase of trade

with Great Britain in the four years amounting to $4l.500.000, as against $18.500.000 increase in our trade with the United States. It is true that our imports entered for consum- ption from Great Britain have not largely increased. They enlarged in that time by less than $l.400,000, while our imports for consumption from the United States show an in- cl‘68.8B of 324000000. But our ex- ports to Britain increased by over $43.000.000 as against less than 04.500000 to the United States. -

Thus Britain is today to afar larger

extent than ever before the one market for Canadian products, Here for instance are our relative exports to Britain and the United States in the years 1873 and 1898 respectively, showing the drift of our trade dur- ing a quarter of a century pastl

If we are not buying in Great

Britain as largely as we are in the Republic it is due to the greatly re- duced cost of production, notably in iron and steel and their manufactured products in the United States in re- cent years. There have also been constantly increasing facilities. for trade with our neighbors by new rail- ways across the ' boundary line, and a steady reduction in the rates of freight. It is there- fore quite clear that if our imports from Britain have not increased in the expected rates under the preferential tariff it is by no means due to the operation of the preferential conditions but to other causes. There is in fact, every reason to believe that had not the preferential rates been given there would have been during the years immediately past an alarming falling offin our imports from the ;`\Iother Country.

It ought to be somebody’s duty to

keep in order the walks by which the post otiicr-,is approached. The man ner in which this duty has been at- tended to for months past- leaves much to be desired. Snow-drifts, slush, and more recently water in deep ponds have had to 'oe waded through, particularly on the north side. These inconveniences have been felt by hundreds -we might say thousands.

d

perhaps walnut trees. These valuable woods are rapidly becoming exhausted in Canada, and pains ought to be _A taken to plant them. It is true it would be a long time before young trees would become merchautable- 25 A years at least-but in the end the crop would pay well, especially if gown on land of little value. The writer A when travelling by rail throughl Western Ontario had pointed out to him a single walnut tree for which the owner had been offered $127 and refused it. The incident shows the present value of a wood that in a past generation was commonly burned

There has been a good deal of dis-

cussion in time past regarding rail- way passes given to members of parlia- ment. The representatives of the people are paid a liberal mileage rate sutlicient to cover their travelling_ex- , penses to and fiom the session. As a. lmatter of fact nearly all Of l them are given passes by the railway companies good for the year, so that their transportation, though paid for by the people costs them nothing. The trouble with this arrangement is that members are in some danger of being influenced by these privileges to grant favors to railway corporations that may be seeking for legislation. Mr. Bostock has introduced a bill dealing with this subject. As the railways are so willing to grant passes to mem- bers it might be well to make it obligatory upon them to do so and then abolish members’ mileage. This would save money to the country and relieve members from their present obligations to the railways.

Il is so easy to go through

life doing good and helping to make others happy. all lady who had been ill with a complication of troubles, having been thoroughly cared and now enjoying perfect health, felt it a duty to tell her friends' that the specific that brought her back tohealth

was Hood's Sarsaparilla.

Thus, after Hood’s had served her

at her hands. Thousands tell the same story of blood purified and health re- stored. Hood’s’ Sarsaparilla possesses merit peculiar to itself.

Slck Headache-“ For a Iona time I

was troubled with sick headaches. Differ- ent medicines failed to' give me relief. I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla, my husband hav- ing been cured of salt rheum by it,`a.nd soon it made me feel like a new woman” MBS. Roanirr l\IcAi~‘E1:, Deerhurst, Ont.

impure Blood-“My wits wffered

with pain and distress from an affection of the throat caused by impure blood. She was almost in despair when she turned to Hood's Sarsaparilla. Six bottles of this medicine completely cured her.” Joi-is WECKNAB, Galt, Ont.

Back Ache-“ My mother had severe

pains in her side and back. She was obliged lo give up work. A friend persuaded her to take Hood's Sarsaparilla and soon she was able to do her work, tree from pain and had a good appetite.” Miieorrz Mon-

NQ Strefggth-“ My whole system was

run down. was weak and could hardly get around to do my work. I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla and after using five bottles I found that my strength had re~ turned and appetite much improved.” Mas. KELL1-:Y, 318 Dufferin Street, Toronto, Ont.

Nerve Fgod-“ My wife was stricken

with nervous prostration. She suiered from headaches. She became weak, low- spirlted and her appetite was poor. I am glad to state that Hood’s Sarsaparilla has completely cured her of all her ailments.” G. Bi~:Li._niY, 321 Hannah St., Hamilton, Ont.
