In that year Canada sto 'lfourtli among the great ship-owiii having been born at Rideau Hall 14, years ago, when her father was inili-O tary secretary to Lord Lansdowne.

Tiiii Goaaiiiiiu is, and has been he quite well aware _that a. portion of an Queen’s County is included in the electoral district of East Prince. If* Od we “seemed” to be unaware of the fact DU in speaking of Prince County being ° divided, the inaccuiac of tne state- ,countries of the world. The number 1 1 y iof her vessels was 7,469 and their a A 31st of December last our lieet w reduced to 6,684 vessels of 73l,7 tons. We now stand as low as iseventli among the nations, with Britain, the lfnitcd States, German _.France, Norway and Italy iiliead ,us in commercial tonnage. Doubtless the introduction of iron and steel ships was the principal cause of the displacement of our wooden ve il sels. P. E. ,within twenty years nearly one h lf _ l ai ‘our tonnage has been swept out of existence. New Brunswick has lost The "Wal Generali-l°°ll”§ °f the more than two thirds of her tonnage share holders ofthe Merchants’ Bank of P.

Riel was hanged all the same and the smashers settled down to quiet life. 1` build no large ships now. Our nel): Again they .were threatening to 5 smash things if separate schools were not forced upon Manitoba. Manito- ba remains free and the smashers did not smash anything in particular. It ~ i will be the same with prohibition if a we get the law. If we don’t get it proud position among the great ship ping nations, is fast is fast sinkin to a position of insignificance in tha regard. Nor is the loss confined to her diminished and diminishing tonnage. We are losing our own carrying trade in equal proportion and are paying to British and foreig ship-owners the freights which former- 7 ly formed so large a. snare of the in comes of our own people. Britai grows weal thy by the earnings of her _ there may not be much said but there may be some real smashing done..
