Our Trade Relations. (From the Mowton Times. ) Taking the year 1875 (the last in which the former Government was in power) and the year 1877 for comparison, we find that our exports to all countries—

In 1873 were........ $89,789, 922 in 4977 were... ..« . 75,875,393 Decrease...... . $15,914,529

sut while our total exports fell off to this extent, our trade with the United States shows this result :—

Exports, 1873.. Exports, 1877...

, +» « 42,072,525 . 25,775,246

Decrease........ $16,297,281

So that our sales to the United States de- creased in the four years over two millions more than the total decrease, our exports to all other countries having increased to the amount of the difference. It is there- fore evident that the protective tariff of the United States and the policy of our Gov- ernment are effectually destroying our ex- port trade with that country. But while we are being shut out of our neighbor's market we continue to be excellent custom- ers of their produce, as the following fig- ures will show :

Total impurts from all

countries in 1873, $127 512,594 “1877, 96,300,483 Decrease, $31,214,111

This very large decrease is rather start- ling, parsicularly when it is considered that P. E. Island has been added to the Con. fedevacy within the period under considera- tion, but those who believe in managing the affairs of this country soas to benefit the U. S. will be rejoiced to find that while our imports from all countries have fallen off 25 per cent., our purchases from our neigh- bors over the border show no diminution‘ but on the contrary are steadily increasing We imported from the United States

In 1873, $47,735,678. In 1877, 51,312,669

increase, $3,576, 991

By an easy calculation, deducting the im- ports from the States from the totals given above it will be found that while our trade with all other countries has fallen from about 79 millons to 45 millons—about 45 per cent.—our trade with the Americans has increased over 8 per cent. Verily, it is no wonder that the Americans are growing less anxious about Annexation when our Government is kind enough to shape its policy so as to produce results like these !

Again: By comparing the figures given above it will be found that in 1875 our Imports from the United

States were, $47,735,678 Exports to U. S., 42,072,555 Difference against us $5,663,152

But in 1877 our Imports from that country

were $51,312,669 Exports to U. §., 25,775,245 Difference against us, $25,537,424

Showing that the balance of trade against Canada was jive times as much in 1877 as in 1873. In other words, we paid the Ameri- cans in 1873 five and a half millions of money more than they paid paid us, but in 1877 twenty-five and a half millions more ! Surely there is food for thought in these startling figures from the official records. How much longer can we afford to keep in power a Government whose policy—not in tentionally, we hope—tends to the building up of another country at the expense of our own? Are we prepared to become hewers of wood and drawers of water for the people of the United States, or shall we indulge national aspirations and looking solely to the intereats of Canada, adopt a Nation- al Policy that will put an end to the enor- mous and ever increasing drain of our monies across the line? Is it any wonder that times are hard, that our industries are paralyzed and thatthousandsof our country- men capable of adding by their labor to the aggregate wealth of the country, are out of employment and have become consumers instead of producers? Can any nation or people long stand a policy that bears such truit as this ?

Adding only the fact that while our trade with the States shows such a large balance against us, with all other countries the bal- ance is in our favor to the extent of five millions of dollars, we leave the subject for the present and in a future article will con- sider the effect of the Government’s policy on particular indusiries and special inter- ests.

On Friday night four men arrived from East Halifax, where they had landed after heing adrift in two small boats for several days without food or water. Two of them belonged to the crew of the fishing schr. ‘ Vesta,” of Lahave, and leaving their ves- sel on the western banks at 4 a. m., on Friday, they were lost in a fog end pulled around for some time but were unable to find any boatss They finally landed Mon- day afternoon, thoroughly exhausted. The other two belonged to the American fishing schr. ‘‘ Ida A. Thurlow.” of Eastport, Me. They left their vessel Saturday morning and their experience was similar to that of the others. They reached land Tuesday after- noon. —Hz. Herald.

An officer of the ‘‘Cimbria,” at Ells- worth, Me., remarked that their visit here had no reference to a probable war, and should occasion no anxiety in any quarter

is another incident :

The “Cimbria” and Her Mission.

New Yorx, May 10.—In an interview with Capt. Semethekin, who arrived here yesterday with three other Russian officers, he said the ‘‘Cimbria” is now under his orders, and he has his agents in different parts of the country. This vessel was a good store and transport ship, but was un- fitted for any other service. He intended to purchase fast sailing vessels and sup- plies, but no letters of marque would be issued by the Russian Government for any privateers, and no privateering would be carried on under the Russian flag. In mak- ing these purchases in time of peace, neither any treaties nor laws of the coun- try were violated. A Russian squadron will soon leave the Baltic for these waters, and the moment war is declared between Russia and England they would go away and not trouble this country, Russian vessels would be cruisers under the strict- est naval discipline and British prizes that fall into their hands would reveat to the tussian Government with the usual prize money to officers and sailors. A Russian squadron had already been stationed in the Pacific to watch the British there. He said no attempt had been made to draft any Irishmen in this country, and he did not believe that there was any truth in these reports.

Remarkable Religious Revival.

A remarkable religious revival is under way in Richmond, Va., among the negroes. The preachers have not dodged the question of hell, but have vied with one another in picturing the torments of the damned. The Rey. John Jasper’s assault upon the theory that the world moves was only one of the incidents of this awakening. A correspond- ent says of one of Brother Jasper’s sermons: ‘‘Nothing could exceed the vividness with which he pictured the torments of eternal Ss and he ne denounced Beecher and those preachers who attempt to show that there is no hell. Some of his congregation grovelled upon the floor in very agony, when he told that ‘same as a head of cabbage in a bilin’ pot will de sinner be for everlastin’ in hell. The pot will keep on bilin’ an’ de cabbage will burn but never burn up. You all will be like dat cabbage if you don’t repent.’” All the employees in a tobacco factory gave up work one day and went through the streets shouting, sing- ing, and urging everybody whom they met to seek salvation., Many of the converts say that they have visions of heaven. Here “To-night, at supper in one of the hotels, a waiter suddenly be- came converted as he was entering the dining-room with a dish of stewed oysters, and throwing the dish and contents to the floor, he raised his hands and to tell how he was converted on the spot, and to proclaim the visions of glory that had been reyealed to him and were passing before him.”

SoMNAMBULIstTIc.—A curious case of som- nambulism occurred the night before last, with a man named Lever, boarding at Mr. Doliver’s boarding house, on Charlote St., St. John. The nrght was the first he spent in the house, yet, after being in bed for some hours, he arese in his sleep, about one o’clock, and opening the front door with the key, which he took from its place behind the door, although having no knowledge in his waking senses of where it was kept, he made his way tothe house of a private family, about a hundred yards distant, the hall door of which had been left open by one of the inmates, who, being employed in a newspaper office, had just arose from bed and gone to his work. The sleeping man made his way direct and unmolested to the bed just vacated, which he occupied until morning. He was discovered shortly after daylight, and questioned as to what busi- ness he had there, but replied that he was in his own room and would. not leave it. He was let remain some time longer, when he became conscious that he was in the wrong quarters. He then explained where he had retired ag the first of the night, but he could not tell how he piel tie bed. His clothes had to be sent for before he could leave the room. — Freeman.

A Lapy residing in this town was almost smothered to death or. Friday evening last. All day her kitchen steve proved very_re- fractory—issuing volumes of smoke and nearly blinding the inmates of the house. The lady determined to investigate the mat- ter, and accordingly proceeded dewn cellar and extracted a brick from the chimney. The result was sudden and unexpected. No sooner had she taken out the brick than a strong and steady stream of soot and ashes so completely enveloped her that she was unable to move. At length, however, she managed to reach the calla hatch, where she received assistanée, and medical aid was sent for. She is now doing very well and is able to attend to her household duties.— S.
