Canada’s Foreign Trade.

The aggregate foreign trade of the Do- minion in the last fiscal year has been ex- ceeded only tive times since Confederation, reaching as it did a value of $204,414,089, and if the low prices ruling for nearly all staple goods are considered, it is probable that in volume the commerce of Jast year has never been surpassed. The value of imports was $115,224,950, and of goods entered for consumption $108,673,447, while the export trade reached $89,189,- 167, showing an excess of imports of some $26,000,000, aud of goods entered fer con- sumption of $20,500,000. Only once in the history of the country have the ex- ports exceeded the imports, namely 1880, when the balance in fayor of Canada was $1,420,000 ; on the average of 22 years the adverse balance has been $20,500,000, and in the aggregate the excess of imports amounts to no less than $451,016,000.

Too Long Without Food,

The evil habit-of going too long without food is one from which many people suffer in the present hurrying age. Men sit in their offices, women rush about at their shopping, and both become so absorbed in their interests that the period of hunger is allowed to pass, and the period of fatigue and depression to set in. The worst of it is that once the second stage is reached, the desire for food is gone, and after many hours of abstinence the man or woman 18 too exhausted to digest a meal when they get it. To avoid the extreme it is only necessary to take the must light and rapid repast during the hungry stage. A glass of milk, a cup of bovil, or merely a biscuit while hungry will prevent the after loss of appetite. And yet many prefer to ruin

f their health rather than take the trouble

to drink a glass of milk. i A MER

MARKET HALL MEETING

A GREAT SUCCESS

Speechas by McLeod, Blake, Ferguson,

Martin, A. A. McLean, Byrne, and T, A. McLean,

_-

Progress and Prospects of the Government Policy.

—~>-——_—-

IMMENSE ENTHUSIASM.

Tue Grand Rally in the Market Hall last eveniog was largely attended—in fact the building was thronged. George Peake, Esq., presided, and Mr. James Mclsaac acted as secretary. The speakers were the candidates— Messrs. Blake and McLeod—- Hon. Donald Ferguson, Alexander Martin, Esq., Valleytield, A. A. McLean, Esq., Councillor Byrne, and ex-Councillor Thos. A. McLean. The speeches were short, sharp and decisive, and the different speak- ers were repeatedly and loudly applauded. The outbursts of applause which greeted the candidates showed clearly the hoid they have upon the electors, and augured well for their success on the 30th.

THE CHAIRMAN in Opening the meeting made a neat speech. He introduced the candidates as two able men—men whom the electors had stood nobly by in previous contests and in whom he felt assured they still had confidence, as would be fully evidenced on the 30th, when they would be

returned by handsome majorities. The Opposition, he said, had no platform. Its candidates had the hardihood to ask tor

support without explaining what they would do shuuld they be returned ; but he thought the electors would give them such

‘a broadside on Thursday next that nothing:

but their heels would be seen for dust. He urged all to be up and doing ; let there be uv splitting of votes or uo resting on oars, Let all work together, and no one need fear for the result.

Hon. Nem. McLeop was the first speak- er. He began by thanking the electors for the confidence they had reposed in himself and colleague on former occasions, a con- tinuance of which confidence he felt asur- red would be accorded them on the present occasioi. They had done their best to meet the wishes of their consti- tuents, and, he thought, had been fairly successful. The late Government had managed the affairs of the country in the best interests of the people. They had maintained the efliciency of the pubtic ser- vice at a much less expense than their pre- decessors, and had not wrung the money

tion. They had been very successful in urging our claims upon the Dominion Gov- ernment, and intended to keep on pressing them until all amounts due the Province were paid. The roads and bridges and ferries have been maintained in a very eflicient manner ; in short every de- partment of the public service has been well and carefully looked after. There has been no jobbery or corruption, or lavish expenditure of public money in connection with any of these departments, and the result is very satisfactory all round. The Davies Government introduced the obnoxious Assessment Act, by means of which they bled the poor tax-payers until they could stand the process no longer, and arose in their might and hurled their persecutors from power long before their term of office expired. Shortly afterthe Sullivan Gov- ernment came into power they abrogated this *‘ tax curse’’ and adopted cther and more satisfactory means of raising a re- venue, That they have been successful in their work is evidenced by the peace and contentment that now prevails throughout the length and breadth of the Province. The speaker then went on toquote from the public accounts, showing the comparative receipts and expenditurcs of the Davies and Sullivan Governments. The figures showed the enurmous revenue the Davies Government derived from the As- sessment Act, and their lavish and uncalled- for expenditures in connection with the public service. This revenue and expendi- ture was compared with that of the Sulli- van administration, and the many and great reductions in expenditure made by the latter Government were poiated out. It was very clearly demonstrated that the Sullivan Government had saved money where it was ata)] possible, and that the money the Davies Guverninent extorted from the people in the shape of taxes was now saved tothem as a result of the wise and economicai policy of the Government. The speaker then referred to the efforts made by the Government to lessen the expenses of legislation and to reduce the number of legislators, efforts that were in every instance thwarted by the Opposition- ists im power in the Upper Chamber. He referred also to the fact that the Opposi- tionists had no policy upon which to stand or fal] ; their only aim was to obtain power, and this they were doing their best to do. But he had nu doubt of the success of the Government. From ail along the line the reports were most gratifying. Everything pointed to 4 brilliant victory on the 30th. The Government, he went on to state, propose to encourage agriculture by in- structing the young farmers how to farm scientifically; to press our just claims against the Dominion; and in the future as inthe past, to so manage affairs that rev- enue and expenditure Would always meet. In conclugion, he expressed the hope that

returned by even greater majorities than in the previous contests.

Mr. Biake followed. He thanked the electors for their past kindnesses, and said that if they again saw fit to elect him as their representative he would, as in the past, fairly, squarely, and independently advocate their rights aud interests, He would give his time and attention as well to the interests of the people of the coun try as to those of the people of the city, for

the interests of both are identical. He had served under the leadership of Hon. Mr. Sullivan whose elevation to a seat upon the Bench necezsitated his withdrawal from political life; and he would have great plea- sure in serving nnder Hon. Mr. McLeod, 'with whose wise policy he was in perfect accord, although he last session had occasion to dissent from the policy of the Sullivan administration in reference to their not providing arevenue tomeetthe expenditure. The Oppositin say we have no |claims upon the people; that we have no ‘right to ask for support. But he was per- fectly satisfied toleavethe records of himself and colleague in the hands of the people, | feeling sure that they would do them jus- tice. The people «of the Province were happy and prosperous; well pleased with the wise and prudent administration of the Sullivan Government, Contrast this state of affairs with the condition of things when ithe Davies Government were in power. He thn west on to compare the jmethods of the Davies and Sullivan Ad- | minis‘ration, showing clearly the necessity | there was for prompt and decisive action jon the part of the people in the present crisis. He also narrated the efforts made by the Sullivan Government to reduce the expenses of legislation, etc., and showed how the Oppositionists defeated the objects | ofthe Government in these respects. inclos- ing, he referred to the very gratifying and satisfactory‘financial standing of theGovarn- ment, and asked the electors to stand by himself and colleague on election day.

Hon. Donatp Fereuson was the next speaker. He referred to the canvass in his district, and to the bright prospects of him- self and colleague. The Opposition, he said, had no policy. He had met their big guns, Messrs. Davies and Peters, at meet- ings in his district, and had been unable to discover even the faintest sign of a platform in any of their speeches. The iGovernment’s policy was engrafted in their jrecord for the past 11 years; and the Gov- jernment would do even better in the fut- jure than in the past. There were over whelmning reasons why the Government should be returned. They had by their wise and economical policy so managed the affairs of the Provincethat not onesingle centof tax- ation was necessary, yet the efliciency of the public service was uot impaired The poliey of collecting the amouuts due the Provinee, instead of taxing the people, should commend itself to all—as he felt sure it had. He then dwelt upon the re- cent unfertunate defaleations in the Land Ottice, and referred tothe cowardly and con temptible conduct of the Puirivi aud other Grit newspapers in connection therewith.

Messrs, ALEXANDER Martin and A, A. McLean, the candidates for the Second District, each made short addresses, relat- ing the progress they had made i prospects for the SOth. ‘They also testified to tie prosperity and contentment of the people, and to ther appreciation of the prudent policy of the Government.

CounciLtor ByRnk then spoke brielly, eulogising the candidates and the Govern- ment. He urged the people to stand shoulder to shoulder ou election day, aud victory was assured.

Ex-CounciLtor McLean alsu counselled unity, and predicted a brilliant victory.

After a vote of thanks to the chairman, and rousing cheers for the candidates, the meeting adjourned.

A Husband's Rash Promise

Men who make rash promises to their wives should be careful to keep the fact secret if they wish tou aveid embarrassing complications. Some time & young married mau named Johuson, in Chieage, who was drawing & liberal salary, told his devoted wife that every $2 bil} that came to him in change should be hers for pin money. Gradually Mr. Johnson's friends learned of the promise and began to con- spire to belp on the popular younz married lady. If they owed their friend anything they would invariably pay him in $2 bills. Finally they got to borrowing from him in order to Jiquidate in $2 bills, and, still un- suspecting, Mr. Johnson continued to allow the $2 bills to flow into the willing lap of his better balf. Finally the cashier of the firm that employed him learned of the gen- erous promise, and he. eutered the conspiracy, and on the next pay day hand- ed Mr. Johnsen a roll that staggered him Every dollar of it was in the denomination of “two.” Sweating under the burden the repeatant husband wended his way home- ward, ** Mary,” he said, as he met her al the door, ** I've got to break my promise with you, forthe government at Washing- ton has ceased to print any money but in $2 bills denomination.
