DISARMAMENT.

Tue proposition of the Czar of Russia that the Great Powers sbal! agree to res dace their armaments is ene of the upexpected things which occasionally happen. [twill be received with accla- mation not only by allmen of good will, but by all who pay taxes. Europe has for many years been lnerally groaniog under the weight of the taxation imposed for the maintenance of armies and navies kept up for the avowed purpose of ensuring peace. The people are sick and tired of this burden and wil] be delighted to throw it off, if Only assured of national freedom and independence. Ifa sonterence of etates- men should result in a general good un deratanding onthe part of the nations’ rulers and representitives, it may well be eaid that “Peace hark her victories no less renowned than war.”

{t is possible, of course, that the Czar’s proposition is a mere blind—intended to put Great Britain, the United States, and ot er nations interested in Chineee trade, off guard, while Ru-sia extends her mono- strike East.

A GREAT DEVELOPMENT. Here are the figures of exports to Great Britain of Canaa’s’ chief agricultural ar~ ticles in 1897 as compared with 1887 éhowing how Canada’s exports to Grea; Britain have grown (uring this period :—

This extraordinary growth of our trade with Great Britain is without doubt pri- marily due tothe epirit evinced by the Canadian Government and people when the McKinley tariff was put into operation. Toe United States refused our friendly overtures and clapped on duties. The officials of the Government of Canad, together with our merchants and people justantly turned their attention to the British markets with the results here shown.

A NEW SITUATION.

AccorpinG to the New York Sun, Uncle Sam’s Spanish victories have resulted in a victory over Canada. That is to say, hold~ ing Cuba and Porto }tico, the markets for Canadian fish, the Vuited States can now close out the Canadian fishermen or insis, upon the right to fish in Canadian waters. Tne Mail and Empire, of Toronto, aptly remarks that our neig!:bors grow $600,000,- 000 worth of product: and sell them free of duty to Great Britain, trom which country they buy yery little as their tariff

is hostile. They sell seventy-eight million dollars worth of products to Canada under our free list and low rates of duty imposed on them, and

buy $41,000,000 worth from us. Now they talk of shutting Canada out of the fieh markets uniess they get our fishing grounds. And, in adiition to the New York paper dec'ares, that though using Cuban or Porto Rico sugar exclu~ sively, the British West Indies can be forced into the Union. It is now evident that Sir Charles Tupper proved himself a far-seeing rtatesman when he advocated the policy of British preferential trade. Tke Empire must,as our Toronto con- tem porary be coneolidated com- mercially, and must present a good stiff front against nations that are building themselves up by tariff means, or it must take the consequences which tailure to atiend to one’s own naturally

BINDER TWINE.

Tse growth and preparation of sisal grass, from which binder twine is made, is a leading industry of Mexico; and an iutel- ligent Mexican, in Toronto, the other day» was greatly amused when told that the reason alleged by the Liberals for the increase of the price of binder twine in this country during the present crie's was the impossibility of getting the raw pro- duct from the Philippines during the prosecution of the Spanish~American war, He says that the quality of the sisal grass produced in the province of Yucatan, where it is the chief industry of the people, is fully as good as that grown in the Philippines, and that some classes of it are greatly preferred upon the English market. There can be no doubt that the chief cause of the increase of the price of binder twine in Canada is the shutting up of the Canadian binder twine factories which resulted from the abolition of the duties.

Porice Covrt--At the Police Court this morning the charge against Joseph Doucette was dismissed for want of evi- dence. A drunk was fined $2 or 10 days. [In the case of Wm. Power and Joseph En- man, charged with fighting on Queen St., on Friday night last, Power was fined $12 or 60 days with hard labor, and Enman $6 or 30 days. In re- ference to this matter, His Honor expressed very strongly his disapproval of the eon~ duct of the street brawlers who have been raising raws of late. He referred to the dangerous results of one or two recent fights and stated that in the future he would punish all offenders with the ut~ most penalty. He wished it understood that in the event of @ prisoner being sent up to the Supreme Court, it would be a perilous matter. Onething he was de termined to do, and that was to put down this fighting on the public streets,

THE PREFERENTIAL TARIFF.

Germany is Prohibitory on Canadian Grain- Steamers Depend Upon American Produce.

Germany was a good market for Canad~ |

ian graio until the preferential tariff came into force, but now the German Govern~ ment has retaliated by increasing [the duty which practically prohibits exportation. It is a hit at Canada direct, which bene- fits the United St: es, A prominent grain exporter, when sen a few night’s ago by a Montreal Gazette reporter, thus express- ed himself on the situation.

“The present German tariff is prohibi- tory on Canadian grain, and steamers coming here bave to depend for cargoes upon American produce coming down the river from the weetern States, This is because the duty on Canadian grain has been increased, but that on the American will remain the sane, eo American ship- pers use Our port and steamers, and supp.y the Germans,and our grain remains at home.”

“Germany was a good market for our wheat, oats and rye, but now the duty has been increased 6 cents a bushel on wheat, 4 cents on rye, and proportional advances on other grains, which has had the etfect intended and driven us from the market, as American produce enters as heretofore.

“The action of Germany was certainly retaliatory, they say, owing to the prefer- ential clauses we adopted, and as long as that lasts grain cannot be shipped there. We have in return, it is trus, the markets of the United Kingdom, still Germany was a good buyer of our surplus, and our producers’ will be much affected by the change. I don’t care to say whether oar policy is wrong or not, still we lose by it, and so does Germany.

“Fora short time it was uncertain whether Germany would accept even American grain coming by the St Laws rence, so strong were they against us, but

Drowvep at Str. Joun.—On Friday afternoon two Indians shot the St Jobn Rapids, at St. John, N. B., and one was drowned. They had been accustomed to shoot rapids so they said, and had a cov- ered canoe. Partly for this reason per- haps, and partly because more people thought they would not actually try the passage, vu: thing was done to pre vent them. But there is not thought to be any possi-~ bility of anyone taking a canoe or boat safely through these waters. The sur- vivor did pot go through, but was caught in an eddy below the first fall and drifted towards the shore. Had he gone under the bridge he would have perished also. Nearly two thousand pereons sav; the trag- edy.
