A Tl MELV ADDRESS

HE timely address of His Lord- ship (Jhicf Justice Mathieaon to the Grand Jury at theopenllll; 0f the Trinity term of the Supreme Court, a brief synopsis of which was published in.yesterday‘s Guar- dian, will be read with more than ' ordinary interest. Very fittingly, in this Diamond Jubilee year, His Lordship looked backward to the time of beginnings. When the Trin- ity terln ot‘ tile Supreme Court met

We are still producing human wealth. We have been producing it since long before we became a provlnceof the Dominion. duciltg it ever since-and have been exporting it, and the sad part or it is tllat we are compelled to export lt.

ln those far- off days there were fewer oppor- tunities, indeed, there were none, in our young sister provinces; few in the United Statee, and our hu- man wealth remained with us. Anti "lily- lllflklllt! backward, \\'e had giants in those days, their names are now part of the history of Can- ada, part of the history 0t’ the Unit-

The world has moved far since July, 1873; it has grown larger and has more work to do. Unfortunately we are ltow doing our share oi‘ it elsewhere than at home. Much more of it might. be done here if we had the courage anti the anter- prlse to tackle it, if we were more generous with ottr owlt and show- ed more appreciation of ollr own.
