PAPER READ BEFORE THE LITERARY AND SCI- ENTIFIC INSTITUTE, FEB. 4TH, BY GEO, E, FULL, ESQ.
(Concluded )
When we consider that there are nearly two hundred million acres of good land stretching from Lake Superior to the base of the Rocky Mouitains, capable of pro- ducing 3,000,000,000 bushels of grain, and suitable for grazing and stock raising ; that the Dominion has every railway, caval and steamship facility for carrying thejproduce of it to the English market ; aud that the older. Provinces are yet capable of great improvement in agriculture, and can rapidly increase their present productions, we say when we consider these things that it is evident that Imperial Federation would be of immense benefit to the agricultural and all the other interests of the Dominion.
LUMBER AND SHIPPING.
Twenty-six million dollars’ worth of the products of the forest were exported from the Dominion in 1884; $15,000,000 werth to the United Kingdom and Colovies, and $9,000,000 worth to the United States. The United Kingdom. imported about $85,000,000 worth, showing that there is a market for all that Canada can preduce. A duty on all foreign lumber would, without doubt, be as much benefip to this industry as to that of agriculture; and under Impe- rial Federation, a large trade would spring Up with the other Colonivs. For instance, the-wood of Australia is hard and much more difficult to work than our pine and spruce, and large quantities of piue ate shipped to there from California. Under Imperisl Federation, this trade would fall into Canadian hands.
In 1884, the total valueof ships sold to other countries was $416,756.. Of this, P. E. Island sold $122.600, the principal mar- kets were Britain, Norway and Newfound- land. Situated as the Dominion is by the side of a long chain of rivers and lakes, she has every facility for developing her lumber and shipping interests. Uader the proposed Imperial Federation, our whole shipping industry would realize an imme- diate and important impetus, with a lar- gely incréased export and import trade with Britain and the Colonies, and being ablé to purchase all, material and supplies at minimum cost, the Dominion would soon step from the fourth rank to’ be second only to Great Britain in the world’s great Merchant Marine.
ThE FISHERIES,
In 1884 the Dominion exporte1 $8 50),- 000 of fish of various kinds, of this over
and Colonies, and about $3,500; 100 to the United States. Since the expiration of the treaty last July, the fish merchants of the Provinces have begun to look for other markets, and they find that large quan- tities of our fish can find a profitable mar- ket in many. countries of Europe and in different parts of the Empire. A Halifax Merchant, in a letter to the paper the other day says, *‘that large quantities of dry, salt codfish can be sold in Spain and Por- tugal—if they are properly salted, cured and packed.” Also’ the Boston Herald says, ‘‘ that the West Indies import largely from the United States of fish that the Dominion can supply, dud that since the expiration of the treaty many Ameri- can merchants have had their fish for the W. I. market packed in the Provinces, shipped to them ia bond and then re-ship- ped by them to the West India markets,” A merchant writing from Sydney, New South Wales, says that “‘their native fish are mostly iaferior, and that there isa large demand for such fish, as British Columbia salmon and those of the Eastern Provinces now being largely sapplied by the U. S. A.” Therefore, under Imperial Federation this great industry would find new and profitable markets, and have great advantage over our neighbors in all British and Colonial ports, by the difference of the duty, and in the more advantageous ex- change of products, and in the lesser cost of procuring the fish, which the followiug extract from the Boston Herald of January 26, 1886, will prove: ‘A Gloucester fish- erman in writing to the New York Sun, says, Why is it that the American fishermen capnot.compete with the Canadian! Be- cause the average cost of a fishing vesse! ready for sea for the last ten’ yeara has been $11,000; and outfit for twelve (12) months. $4,000; this, owing to the (U, 8, A.) tariff is 30 per cont more than the Canadian ”?
pay.
—
MINES.
The Dominion exports about * $3,500,000 of the products of her mines, principally of coal and gold to the U.S. A. The taking off the duty of $2.25 per ton on pig iron would tend to lessen the velue of the out- put of iron mines, but would be offset by the lesser cost of mining as the result of a Free Trade with Britain, so that this in- dustry would not be effected much ove way or the other.
EMIGRATION.
No doubt hundreds of thousands of Brit ish emigrants have gone to the U.S. A., who onght to have settled in Canada, Tho great want of the Dominion now is a large influx of population to cultivate their vacant lands and develop her industries in the Northwest. Under Imperial Federa- tion we might expect a large immigration into Canada, for the following reasons :—
1. The fact that all farm produce for export to the United Kingdom would be worth ten to twenty per eent more in Can- ada thanin the U. 5S. A.
2, That all British Colonial manufac tures could be purchased in Canada at a {very little more than in the old country, thus materially reducing honsehold ex- pens*s.
8. The British Government would have a powerful financial co sideration t » induee | them to put forth sirenuous eilorts to; direct.the tide of emmigration into the|
Colonies for the simple reason that her
manufactures would be increased thereby, and.an Imperial Council would, without donbt, soon devise som» means for directing the migration of her population, so as to keep the people within the bounds of the Empire.
MANUFACTURES,
A large amount of Canadian capital is invested in manufacturing industries of various kinds; and many hands are em- ployed therein, Being one of the great interests, if injured to@ny appreciable ex- tent would materially retard the growth of the nation. At first thought one would feel inclined to say that all the manufactur- ing industries of the Dominion would be destroyed under imperial free trade. A closer inspection, however, will show that * out of sixteen of the principal. manufactur- ing industries, only two or three would be injured; the other thirteen would be more or less benefited.
The cotton and hat and cap factories under British competition, would proba d!y become, not to say uuprofitable, but only a little more unprofitable tha they are at present, Possibly in the course of a f-w years they would learn to compete with the British manufacturers, in which case they would open up a world-wide market, that would put them on an assured permanent profitable basis.
The following are the prinzipal lines of manufactures that are now capable of com- peting in foreign and colonial markets, and such being their present condition, not one of them would be injured by Imperial Federation, for it is plain that if they ean compete with England in other markets, they most assuredly would defy her in their own,

All of these twelve kinds of manufactures are largely imported by the other Colonies, and are in many cases now supplied by the United States. For example, sewing ma- chines, carriages, agricultural implements, organs and pianos, furniture, many kinds of hardware and machinery are exported into Australia from the United States, while Canada’s total exports to Australasia are only $530,000. The United States exports to the same Colonies amount to $7,230,000, Under Imperial Federation a large share of this trade would fall into Canadian hands; and with the develop- ment of these and the other Colonies of the Empire, it would not be long before an immense trade would spring up for Cana- dian products and manufactures.
The following extrect from the American Mail and Export Journal for January, 1886, shows how high a value the United States manufacturer places upon the British and Colonial trade. Speaking of the United States export trade, he says :—‘‘ The fact that American trade follows the British flag, is to be attributed toa community of language, trade systems and habits. Our total exports to British Africa amounted in 1884 to $2,500,000, while in the same year to Spanish, French and Portuguese Africa combined it was only $1,000,000; to Bri- tish America, $52,000,000, and to Spanish, French, Danish and Dutch America com- bined, only $17,900,000. Total exports to Great Britain and the Colonies, $445,000, - 000 ; and to all other countries of the world $269 000,000. Indeed, commercially speaking, we are as much a British Colony to-day as either Canada, Australasia or the Cape of Good Hope. We must keep onr grip on British trade, home and colenial,”
The competition which Oanada would meet in the colonial markets from England, in theso last named manufactures and many others, is not half so much to be dreaded as is that of the United States. The Canadian styles suit many markets, and supply many trades that the British do not cowpete for.
With the increased development of our
agricultural industries and increase of population, before noticed as inevitable
under Imperial Federation, a large, reliable and profitable home market would be pro- duced, which would be a permanent basis for all lines of manufacturing.
Sogar Refineries.— Under the union thia industry would receive an honest and healthy stimulus, being able to purchase ite caw sugars from British Islands free of duty, which would probably reduce the cost to about half of the present duty; also as foreign refined and raw sugars would pay 4 duty in England and the colonies, our re- fineries would have a share in a large market now controlled by France and Holland,
As British goods would, under Imperial Federation, be about 50 per cent. cheaper in Canada than in the United States, a large trade would fall into the hands of our merchants in supplying United States fishermen and tourists with many linea of goods at profitable prices.
In his speech in London, Eng., lately, Sir John McDonald said that Canada was willing, and that she would be prepared ta join the Mother Country in en offensive and defensive league for the maintenance of the Ewpire and the flag of Britain. The necessity of this has already been noticed. Suffice it to say now, that Canada is almost undefended. Under Imperial Fed- eration a syatém of defence could be estab- lished that would place in Canada a great arsepal with all necessary naval and military munitions of war, which would give some measure of security to the whole of B. N, A.;
THE REVENUE,
The total amount of revenue derived by the Customs from the duties on im- ports in 1884 was a little over $20,000,000. Of this, about $9,000,000 was collected on imports from U. S. and the Colonies. Under Imperial Free Trade the duties col-
