In Memoriam‘
GEORGE REYNOLDS
Wednesday. January 80th, 1020, after e flnel brief illness. the late George Reynolds of Cambridge Road lied 74 years.
About six months ego w. m- nolds wee apparently seieed with e
. slight paralytic stroke from which
he partially recovered. and was able in e measure to assume his former duties, but lately developing "nu" mulch with other complications pros- trated his already enfeebled body, end sresueilv crowing worse delllite the bit Inedioel lkill lndolnful nursing his spirit peacefully’ passed sway to be with God.
‘Born at inn-ray Harbour North, (Geepereaux) in the year 1058, he
see-all .e-.1“.'."!Je‘.!.!;' ‘we.
Called iohis Eternal Home on‘
began to “serve his time” as a black- smith in the smithy of the laic Hen- ry Llewelyn oi Gaspereaux.
Some years later, after completing his term of service, he located at Commercial Cross, near Montague, where he conducted a most success- ful business ofvgeneral blacksmith- ing.
Later removing to Cambridge Road, he with his brother Adam ducted the trade in partnership, and when on the retirement of the latter, he with his sons carried on the business until his death, for s. period oi up- wards of 30 years.
Mr. Reynolds was an excellent workman-a master hand with the hammer-the iron yielded to his wishes whether in the interests of the farmer or fisherman, it matttered not. l-lislife indeed was a busy one, but withal interesting.
“Week in, week out, from morn to night,
You could hear his bellows blow,"
The late Mr. Reynolds also took a prominent part in matters relating to Church and State, and was among the foremost in all that was for the general welfare of the community. He was elected to the Eldership of the Murray Harbor North Presby- icrian Church during the ministry oi the late Rev. John G. Cameron, and has» since honorably filled this office for a period oi 33 years. For a number of years, he also acted as Clerk of the Session. Appointed Supt. oi the Cambridge S. S. he capably performed tne duties of that position for a long period, and at the time oi his passing was Supt. oi the Peter's Rd. S. S.
He was a and by word and example did his best in the cause of righteousness.
He will be sorely missed in the so- cial capacities he so adequately filled, as well as in the home, where he was beloved as a kind husband and fath- er, and also in the workshop where his many patrons joined with him in pleasant conversation.
In concluding, it is comforting to know that he is now at Rest in the Home above with Jesus, his Saviour.
The funeral services, held in the Presbyterian Church at Peter's Road, where a very large assemblage was congregated, were conducted by Rev. Mr. Smart of Murray Harbor, whose impressive sermon was alike com- forting and inspiring to the relatives and friends present, ‘as he dwelt on the text-"When the even was come, he saith unto them, let us pass over unto the other side." The service at the cemetery was concluded by his brethern of the Orange Association. The following Hymns were sung: The Lord's My Shepherd," "Rock of Ages," "By Cool Siloem," Face. to Face.” Beautiful floral tribulees were don- ated as follows: Wreath from grand- daughters, Mrs. James Johnston. and Miss Florence Benton, Wetertown, Mus; Crescent, Mrs. Wm. Macdon- eld, Peter's Road.
The Pail-bearers were: Messrs Freeman Reynolds, 'I'hoe. llfiilar, A. D. McLeod. Harry Butler, David son- oebiugh, Win. Kennedy. i,

Montserrat, Barbadoes, Grenaoa, Trinidad and British Guiana. The chief exports of these colonies are: sugar, rice cocoa, coffee, cocoanuts, copra, onions, ground-nuts, bananas, grapefruit, limes, pineapples, man- goes, saiodillas, papau-a pleasant fruit eaten as an aid to digestion, arrowroot. cotton, petroleum, pitch or asphalt. rum, molasses (by-products of sugar) rubber, bslata, bauxite (mineral from which aluminum is extracted), timber (including More Railway sleepers), gold and diamonds —these two latter, and rubber, rice, bauxite and balata.

In British Guiana sndTrinldad there is a resident population oi about 240,000 East Indians. whose ltaif of life is flour, for making "dhalbat" e kind of pancake-which they use in- steed of breadqand the Dbtetoes used largely in their curries. It is a lnown fact that both the Best In- dians and the negroes prefer the p0- tetoes from Canada to those obtain- ed from Europe. The steff of life of the 2,500,000 negro population of the West Indies and British Guiana is largely composed of flour for mak-

lng bread and dumplings, salt beef. pork and fl.sh—the majority of the three last mentioned articles beln! Bi present supplied by the United State! of America. ' Too Much From U. S. Now, in Canada, we have been pur- chasing‘ chiefly from the United States, although we put on a 5990181 tariff in favor of Empire goods. But, because of the nearness of the United States to Canada and its having all the Canadian requires, Canada has been purchasing very largely from the United States and selling chiefly to the Mother Country and her over- sea possessions. British Guiana and the West Indies have been doing the same thing. The fact is that the Mother Country, Canada, British Guiana and the West Indies have all been purchasing far more from the United States of America, than they have been selling to her, which is the explanation that the rate of exchange is in favour of the latter country. I wish not to be misunderstood for I have a friendly feeling for the people of the United States. We must however, look at the matter from a business point of view. A great deal is being done by the Empire Market- ing Board in England, by way of ap- pealing to the people to be patriotic and support the British Empire goods. But egreat deal more than thstis needful, the matter cannot be left en- tirely to the wishes of the people. Arrangements can be made by the several governments that would en- courage trade into the right channel. Canada. for example, has been buy- ing her tropical fruits practiclly en- tirely, from the United States. A very large percentage of the import- ed oranges, grapefruit, limes, etc., comes from California and Florida- all this could and should be supplied by British Guiana and the West In- dies. Again Canada's imports of rice come largely from the southern states of America. There are many other things Canada has been buy- ing from the States, which we could obtain from British Guiana and the West Indies, members of our own 1111991111 family. instead of from strangers. In like manner British Guiana and the West Indies have been buying a great many articles from the United States, which Can- ada is able to supply. If they trade together they would help eech other and the exchange problem would be in a fair way towards being solved, lmlrlre Trade We should not look at this matter merely from the standpoint of dol-

whatever, because it is in the power
of these Colonies to make arrange- ment without reduclng the minimum that each wished to collect in the way of revenue; i.e. to increase the general tarifl and by the necessary preference encourage trade into Bri- tish channels. It should be the aim of every part of the Empire to trade with every other part oi the Empire.
One of the chief reasons why the United States of America is selling so largely to British Guiana and the West Indies is because there are stationed ‘in British Guiana and the larger Islands, American Con- suls who can and do furnish the merchants in these places with the names and addresses of American firms who can supply their require- ments, and not only so but in the required way. It is absolutely nec- essary that Canada should follow the example of the United States and place trade representatives in British Guiana and the larger Islands, whose duty it would be to press on the pub- lic notice Canadian produce and the opportunities they offered for the extension of reciprocal trade.
Canadian Goods in Tropics
It would pay Canada to have a big agricultural garden in the tropics and thus establish a market for home manufactures and products. Canada has already shown that she can market all the West Indian sugar and considerably more. Brit- ish Guiana is producing at present 30,000,000 lbs. of rice and although Canada purchased 82,300,000 worth of rice all over the world last year not a dollar's worth came from British Guiana. As a matter of fact the majority of the rice import- ed by Canada comes from Texas ‘and Louisiana, Southern States of Am- erica.
The present governor of British Guiana, Sir F. G. Ciuggisberg, hes said that in the next 50 years he hopes that the population of the Colony will gradually increase from 300,000 to 2,000,000 under the Gov- ernment Assisted Land Settlement scheme which he is about to estab- lish. So that each year British Guia- na will become an increasingly bet- for market for Canada.
There is Another matter I wish to bring forward and that is that on the Brazilian side of the Southern frontier of British Guiana there are large tracts of Savannah lends end also on the British Guiana side of
the boundary. The Capital of . Amazon State is "Manaos" siiusbt far the Amazon River. The only outletdthe Brazilians have to time is by why of the Amazon River. f Lkllailway PAspecls
In V1913. when the question of the buildingof a Railway immora- getoun the Capital of British Guim to the Brazilian frontier was undg consideration, I travelled down Us Demerars River in the compsny at the reconolterlng surveyor of a pm- posecl railway in Brazil and flit chief cattle rancher on the Brazilian frontier.‘ Ix conversation with time gentlemen t asked them whether in the event of iii-lush Guiana buildilu a railway c‘ their frontier was prospect wouldthere be of the Upper Amazon trade Dsssing over the line. T1163! P6111101.
