OCTOBER 27, 1890. The Savings of the People.

Ir may be interesting, as well as en- couraging—now that the McKinley tariff is about to work changes in the course of trade—to note particularlysome of the testa of the prosperity of Canada since Confeder- ation. The best of these is that of the de- posits in the banks. In spite of all the obstacles placed in our way by the United States, the cash on deposit in the financial institutions of Canada has increased from $33,115,442 in 1867, to $210,816,196 in 1889. These figures speak {more forcibly than words.

The increase since 1879-—the year in Canada began to defend herself against tariff of the United States—has been $99,287,618 to

210,816,196. That is to say, the people of Canada added to their bank deposits in the twelve years from 1867 to 1879 $66,- 172,176, and in the ten years from 1879 to 1889 $111,528,576. The wealth of Canada in money has increased about doubly as fast since the adoption of the National Policy as it did previously. significance in this fact,

In the chartered banks of Canada the deposits have increased from $30,652,193 at Confederation to $126,243,755 in 1889. The Government savings banks held de- posits in 1868 of the sum of $1,781,118; in 1889 these deposits had increased to $25,- 104,514. The post office savings banks held $213,446 in 1867, and $30,543,568 in 1889. The loan companies and building societies had $673,789 of the people's money in 1868, and $17,757,376 in 1889. All classes of people coptributed to the enormous increase of wealth exhibited by these figures.

Nor can it be said that the people of Prince Edward Island did not assist in adding to the deposits. The full amount of their quota cannot be told because a large proportion went into the Bank of Nova Scotia and the: Merchants Bank of Halifax. But the deposits in the Mer- chants Bank of P. E. Island have risen from $89,888 in 1879, to $120,967 in 1889; those in the Summerside bank increased

from $9,164 in 1879, to $32,640 in 1889; while those in the Government Savings Bank swelled from $454,089.17 in 1874, to $840,783.53 in 1879, and to $2,244,390.15 in 1889.

These statistics, tabulated by Mr. Gar- land, of Ottawa, ought to be re-assuring. The mind of the Opposition was as full of foreboding in 1879 as itis now. But in- stead cf ruin we have undoubted proofs of prosperity. ‘

Go into the homes of the people, com- pare their furniture, their appliances, their diet, their whole manner of living, with what it was in 1879,—and it will be found that the increase of the com- forts of the people has been fully as re- markable as that of their deposits at the banks.

Then, let us not pay too much heed to the false prophets of evil, nor greatly fear concerning the operation of the McKinley tariff. Let us rather, thank God and take courage.

Want to Turn British. AMERICAN SEALERS WANT TO FLY THE ENGLISH FLAG,

The San Francisco Examiner contains the following item :-—

“The American sealers are going to turn British with the close of this season. Fully four-fifths of the fleet that hunted in the north this year will go back next year under the British flag. The matter has long been talked of but assumed no definite shape until lately. Captain A. 0. Decker, of the schooner George R. White, was the first to declare in favor of the change, and his example will be followed by a number of others. The ‘vigorous for- eign policy’ isthe cause of this threatened adnan desertion of the country and search for the protection of the British flag. Ameri- oan sealers claim that a most unjust discrimi- nation is made against them inthe Behring Sea. The revenue cutters compel them to work outside the nine-mile limit under pain of seizure in event of trespass.”

The Victoria Times remarks that

** The owners of these sealers have evidently not taken into consideration that to turn their schooners British they have to become British- ers themselves. The marine law is that the country’s flag afford’ no protection to vessels not wholly owned by subjects of Queen Vic- toria.” ‘

— - <> ae Cuba Ripe For Revolution GREAT DISCONTENT AMONG THE PEOPLE OF SPAIN'S DEPENDENCY,

“It will require but aspark dropped among the patriotic people of Cuba to kindle the fire of revolution which will wrest the Queen of the Antilles from the the mother country,” said «a gentleman recently from Havana. ‘* For the last eight years the financial missteps of Spain have disastrously affected the industries of the island, until ruin and starvation threat- en the inhabitants. They are just now en- gaged in adopting measures to free the col- ony from the burdens which oppress it. The hopeless condition of the tradesmen throughont the island has impelled them to start a movement which contemplates the formation of a league designed to pro- tect their interests, and the greatest im-

ortance is attached to the venture.

ozens of cigar manufacturers have been compelled to close their factories sinee the baneful effects of the McKinley bill were felt. There are over 10,000 cigarmakers out of work in the city of Havana and vicinity and the suffering of these people will soon be great, this being the season of ‘the year when the cigarmakers usually _re- Seive the highest wages, "

Address Presented.

In view of the fact that Messrs. Dawson and Ings have been re-appointed by the Provincial Government members 0

of the teachers, and presented with the. following

ADDRESS : To William E. Dawson and John Ings, Esquires : GENTLEMEN, —

We, the undersigned, being deeply in- terested in the continued progress and prosperity of the City Schools, having witnessed the fidelity, assiduity, and deep interest manifested by you in the discharge of your duties as members of the City School Board, during the long period in which you occupied that position, hereby earnestly request that you accept a reap- peintment to membership in said Board. Your aid and encouragement have always been an inspiration to the teachers in the discliarge of their duties, and we believe your reappointment would very largely conduce to the successful working of the City Schools. Believe us to be very sincerely yours, Lemvget MILLER, Principal West Kent Street School. J. M. Duncan, Vice-Principal. W. A. THompson. J. W. Younes. Mary ASHLEY. Apa A. Wapman. Carniz STUMBLES. Nertig C. McPuatn. FLorence M. Currie. J. D, SBaMAN, Principal Prince Street School. C. C. SNaDDON, Vice-Principal. SaraH HARRIS, Evizazetu E. MacKinnon. Eviza MAcNEILL. Laura K. Scorr, Heren H. Mircue.t. Bessie GREGOR. Carrie Hasta. Matitpa Wya‘t. Bsssiz Brown. Eira MacMurray. Jopn McSwain, Principal Queen Square School. Micuaret W. Smiru. Francis CURRAN. Mary Farmer. Auice HENNEssy. Exiza HALLORAN, Mary Conroy.

Mr, Ings replied, stating that he was quite surprised at the presentation of the address, but was glad that the teachers had expressed themselves as pleased with his conduct as a member of the School Board. He had endesvored to do what he believed to be right in the interests of the schools and education, and the address just pre- sented would stimulate him to do better in the future. He heartily thanked the teachers for this kind expression of their good wil], and said that at all times he would endeavor to further their best in- terests.

Mr. Dawson said that he felt extremely obliged to the Principals and Teachers of the three city schools for their very kind address. To him it was quite unexpected. They were, no doubt, aware that for over twenty years he had been identified with the educational interests of the City and Province. He had been at the inception of, and taken part in the management of, the the Prince Street School before it came un- der the control of the City Schou] Board, and had been a member of the latter for over thirteen years. During that long period be had cheerfully rendered what assistance he could in the furtherance of the interests of education. He was glad to say that the most cordial relations had al- ways existed between the teachers and him- self; and said that he would endea- yor in the future, as in the past, to render any assistance that lay in his power, to aid them in the discharge of their duties. He felt that in the address just presented, his services had been more highly appreciated than they deserved to be. As to his acceptance of a seat at the School Board, he would think over the matter, and if he could see his way clear, would be pleased to accede to the request contained in the address. Should he take the latter course, his best efforts would be given to assist the teachers in the discharge of their arduous labors. Mr. McSwain, who had but recently been appointed to the position of principal of Queen ‘Square School had his best wishes for success.

Mr. MacSwain said that it had given him great pleasure to sign the address. He had not been long in his present position, but hoped that his connection with the City Schools would prove satisfactory to all concerned.

Mr. Seaman said that when the teachers of the City Schools were made aware that Messrs. Ings and Dawson had resigned their seats at the Schoo] Board, the news fel] upon them asathunderclap. It was to them cause for deep regret, until they ascertained the reason for those resigna- tions. They now earnestly desired that both gentlemen would reseme their seats at the Board.

$a The Fenian Oath. THE SECRECY TO BE DONE AWAY WITH— FENIAN VOLUNTEERS.

The National Convention of the Fenian Brotherhood was held at Odd Fellows’ Hall, Patterson, N. J., on the 2Ist. Dele- gates from all sections of the country were present. The present situation in Ireland was discussed, and action was taken to re- lieve the Cistress. The most important ac- tion of the convention was the unanimous endorsement of a recommendation of the general secretary, abolishing the secret: ath of the organization. Hereafter ali the transactions of the Brotherhood will be open, and the public will be free to attend ail meetings. In his report the general secretary attributed the disruptions and disasters to Irish organizations during the past two years to the fact that men with selfish and personal ends to attain had through the misuse of the secrecy clause in the constitution forced themselves into power. A special committee was appoint- ed on the future of the organization, and in their report recommended that the Fenian Brotherhood be an open organiza- tion, and that military and naval companies be organized and ninety per cent. of the re- ceipts be devoted to this purpose. The companies to be known as the Fenian Vol- unteers, and will be held in readiness to as- sist the United States in case of foreign war.

The punishment for political spies detected in France is to be doubled, and their employ- ers, if caught, will be dealt with equal severity.

English Railway companies are working for the rapid transportation of American mails from Queenstown to London, via Kings- town and Holyhead.

The condition of Grand Duke Nicholas, uncle of the Czar, who was seized with sudden mania during the recent army manceuvres has been critical.

The Sultan of Witu has refused surrender to British authority or offer redress for recent massacre, but on the contrary is actively

reparing for hostilities. Hundreds of natives oom the surrounding tribes are flocking to his standard. Fighting is inevitable.

Sir Charles Gavan Duffy has written a letter advocating the acceptance of Balfour's land purchase bill on its merits, although it emanates from a detested government. The Dublin Freeman's Journal says Duffy has written in ignorance of the opinion of his countrymen.

The introduction of mines machines into the mines in Pittsburg is causing the miners considerable uneasiness, The general use of machines would admit of performance of work by 10,000 which now requires 25,000 men. The miners contemplate a crusade against the machine.

A St. Petersburg despatch says: ‘The minister of the interior has received alarming reports of the state of the country. Prisons are crowded with suspects, chiefly young men of the educated classes. Dissatisfaction is spreading everywhere, incendiarism is rife and there have been conflicts in many places between the peasantry and soldiers.”

It is stated that a number of banking cor rations in the State of Missouri, havin ailed or refused to file statements of their financial condition as required by Secretary of the State Lesureur, on September first, the secretary has directed the prosecuting attorney to proceed afiainst delinquents uhder the law. The penalty is a heavy fine.

The healthfulnese of the great city of Lon- is a marvellous thing in view of the enormous population and their crowded condition. The death rate of 19 per thousand is not only far below that of other great cities but is lower than in almost any town of considerable size. In Paris the anaual mortality is 23.5 per thousand, although the birthrate is much lower than in London. The great metropolis affords a striking instance of what well enforced sanitary laws can effect for the well being of the people.
