Mr. Charlton proceeds to point out that the hostile tar. ff of the United States has forced Canadians to seek markets for their projuce inGreat Britain aad elsewhere, and that “while we exported of all com- modities $44,438,000 to the United States in 1896 our exports to Great Britain reach- ed the sum of $66,690,000,—which sum “will be very greatly increased by the returns for the year 1897.” He proceeds to give illustrations of the progress of this movement in the direction of emancipation from de pendence upoo the markets of the United Stat2s which are worthy of cousideration, For instance, he points out that “in seeking & better market for hog _ products the Canadian farmer and packer set themselves to work to coa- Bult English tastesas to the quality of bacon and hams calculated to suit the British markets”—the results being that “our hog producta lead the markets in England and ell at mach higher prices than United States meats of the same clase, and the practical results we find is that, atthe present moment, (September Ist) at way-railway stations throughont Ontario hogs rule at $5.50 per cwt, live weight while the price of the eame article on the stock stock market at Buffalo ranges from $4.15 to $4.50.”. Clearly, eays Mr. Chariion, “we do not need the United States markets for hogs, and if our packers were so short- sighted ss to run the risk of losing their reputation for superiority of product by importing United States hogs, the present condition of the Canadian ‘market would cover prices in the United States, duty and freight.” “We have,” continued Mr, Charlton, “placed ourselves in an enviable position, aleo, as regarde the cheese trade, of which article our export for the year 1897 will reach the sum of $115,262,000, $15,232,000 of which goes to Great Britain.” Mr. Chariten goes on to say

But even into the newer terri- tory of the Yukon it may be hoped that the gaina will be by no means inconsider- able, with the establishment of overland communication inthe near future, with law and order prevailing, and mail and telegraph facilties completed. Immi- graate willcontinue to arrive until the remuneration afforded to Jabour in the mining regions is brought to a level with ordinary advantages elsewhere. If the idea of prepaid or assisted passageg to this country be encouraged by the Government, he thought it might not be amiss for them to solicit the co-operation of the home authorities, pointing out that England har an interest in any emigration taking place from her shores not only by reason Of the stimulus it gives - to every branch of her shipping interest, and the increase in wages which it will create, but, further, in the inevitable increase in her commerce, for every immigrant becomes not Only a curtomer for what England can produce, but a producer of what England wants.

—The Canadian Magazine: “For some time Canada has been living in a fool’s paradise, in 80 far as the national estimate of our educational system is concerned. We have been parading before the world 83 4 nation possessed of the greatest edu- cational syatem ever conceived, and having told this story so often we finally came to believe it, with the result that we -folded our hands and looked wise. In consequence our system has not been improved very much in recent years and has not been adapted to the age or to the greatest needs of the nation.”
