A good deal of elf-nrt has been
made to show that our trade with
Great Britain has not increased as the
result- of the preferential tai-itl`. It is
no part of our duty to tleil with the
party aspect of tl-e case, but it may
beworth while ti quote a. few facts
from the trade and navigation re-
turns.
The vohiiiie of Cmadian tradigtihat-
is the grand total of imports and ex-
ports, with all countries, shows the
following totals during the past four
years :
1895 8221420485
1896 239,025,360
1897 ~25>7,168.862
1898 304,475,736
Thus our import and export trade
with all the world increased during
the four years by something over
$80,000,000. Our trade is principally
with Great Britain and the Uni;ed
States. Out of the 304 millions of
our total trade in 1898 nearly 262
millions was with these two countries,
or more than five sixtlis of the whole.
It will therefore be of interest to note
how our trade with Britain and the
United.States respectively has pro-
gressed during the past 'four years.
The figures showing our trade with
the United States_ are as follows: _
1895 S 95,932,197
1896 103,022.434
1897 111,022,513
1898 12-1.410.926
Here we have an increase of 818,-
500,000 in round hgures within the
four year.-i term. In the same period
our total trade with Great Britain
was as follows: -
1895 $92 988 727
1896 99 670 030
1897 106 639.690
1898' 13-1.499.735
Here we have an increase of trade
with Great Britain in the four years
amounting to $4l.500.000, as against
$18.500.000 increase in our trade
with the United States. It is true
that our imports entered for consum-
ption from Great Britain have not
largely increased. They enlarged in
that time by less than $l.400,000,
while our imports for consumption
from the United States show an in-
cl‘68.8B of 324000000. But our ex-
ports to Britain increased by over
$43.000.000 as against less than
04.500000 to the United States. -
Thus Britain is today to afar larger
extent than ever before the one
market for Canadian products, Here
for instance are our relative exports
to Britain and the United States in
the years 1873 and 1898 respectively,
showing the drift of our trade dur-
ing a quarter of a century pastl

If we are not buying in Great
Britain as largely as we are in the
Republic it is due to the greatly re-
duced cost of production, notably in
iron and steel and their manufactured
products in the United States in re-
cent years. There have also been
constantly increasing facilities. for
trade with our neighbors by new rail-
ways across the ' boundary line,
and a steady reduction in
the rates of freight. It is there-
fore quite clear that if our imports
from Britain have not increased in the
expected rates under the preferential
tariff it is by no means due to the
operation of the preferential conditions
but to other causes. There is in fact,
every reason to believe that had not
the preferential rates been given
there would have been during the years
immediately past an alarming falling
offin our imports from the ;`\Iother
Country.
It ought to be somebody’s duty to
keep in order the walks by which the
post otiicr-,is approached. The man
ner in which this duty has been at-
tended to for months past- leaves
much to be desired. Snow-drifts,
slush, and more recently water in
deep ponds have had to 'oe waded
through, particularly on the north
side. These inconveniences have been
felt by hundreds -we might say
thousands.
d
perhaps walnut trees. These valuable
woods are rapidly becoming exhausted
in Canada, and pains ought to be _A
taken to plant them. It is true it
would be a long time before young
trees would become merchautable- 25 A
years at least-but in the end the crop
would pay well, especially if gown
on land of little value. The writer A
when travelling by rail throughl
Western Ontario had pointed out to
him a single walnut tree for which
the owner had been offered $127 and
refused it. The incident shows the
present value of a wood that in a
past generation was commonly burned
There has been a good deal of dis-
cussion in time past regarding rail-
way passes given to members of parlia-
ment. The representatives of the
people are paid a liberal mileage rate
sutlicient to cover their travelling_ex-
, penses to and fiom the session. As a.
lmatter of fact nearly all Of
l them are given passes by the railway
companies good for the year, so that
their transportation, though paid for
by the people costs them nothing. The
trouble with this arrangement is that
members are in some danger of being
influenced by these privileges to grant
favors to railway corporations that
may be seeking for legislation. Mr.
Bostock has introduced a bill dealing
with this subject. As the railways
are so willing to grant passes to mem-
bers it might be well to make it
obligatory upon them to do so and
then abolish members’ mileage. This
would save money to the country and
relieve members from their present
obligations to the railways.

lady who had been ill with
a complication of troubles,
having been thoroughly cared
and now enjoying perfect
health, felt it a duty to tell
her friends' that the specific
that brought her back tohealth
was Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Thus, after Hood’s had served her
at her hands. Thousands tell the same
story of blood purified and health re-
stored. Hood’s’ Sarsaparilla possesses
merit peculiar to itself.
Slck Headache-“ For a Iona time I
was troubled with sick headaches. Differ-

it made me feel like a new woman” MBS.

pains in her side and back. She was obliged
lo give up work. A friend persuaded her
to take Hood's Sarsaparilla and soon she
was able to do her work, tree from pain
and had a good appetite.” Miieorrz Mon-

Hood's Sarsaparilla and after using five
bottles I found that my strength had re~

Nerve Fgod-“ My wife was stricken
with nervous prostration. She suiered
from headaches. She became weak, low-

glad to state that Hood’s Sarsaparilla has
completely cured her of all her ailments.”
