PARLEAMENTARY SUMMARY.

> INTERESTING STATISTIUS

Mr. Townshend, M. P., in seconding the | address in reply to the Governor-General’s | speech produced some interesting statistics | of the trade of the past year. In passing he noticed the reduction in the revenue derived trom Spirits, which he said was no doubt due to the increase of the temperance sentiment. The returns he said showed that for the year ending Dec. 31, 1884, there was an increas¢ in Cap rts from the mines vf the Dominion over 1883 of 8618,000; in animal products of $1.900.000, in agricu!- ‘ural products of $500,000, and in mann- factures of $45,000—showimg that in ail these important branches of industry there was a steady increase. This was owing largely to the present fiscal policy of the Government, under the influence of which & greater variety of industries now existed than had ever been known under the form- er condition of things. Coming to the shipping industry, sv important a branch of trade of the Dominion, there was a steady increase in tonnage of vessels, amounting for the past year in sea-going vessels, to 588,291 tons over that of the year pre vious, showing that a larger quantity of

goods had been moved, though their value had diminished considerably. The coasting trade showed a_ con-

siderable increase; likewise in the ship- building industry. While the number of vessels had diminished, there was an in- crease in the aggregate tonnage. The trade of the Maritime Provinces showed an ex- cess of exports over imports entered for cousumption amounting, during the past year, to $2,157,000, while in the western provinces the imports very largely exceeded the exports. To thoze who contend that the excess of exports over imports was evi- | dence of the country’s presperity, the| contrast between these two sections of the Dominion showed a result favorable to the | provinces by the sea. The catch of fish, | too, had largely increased and notwith- | decrease in price the total catch of Jast year exceeeded that of the year previous by | over one million dollars in value. '

COMPARATIVE STATISTICS.

The report of the Minister of Customs | (which was tabled on the first business day | of the session) gives the following compara- | tive statistics of trade in all the years since 1868 :—
