B., Post says: —‘What- ever the position of St. John, the province a: large has been going ahead, ahead, ahead years. In fact, some of the causes that ve operated against St. John, have re- dounded to the advantage of the reat of the Province. Formerly St. John was the im- porter and agent for the rest of the pro- vinee; it supplied their wants and took their lumber and Agricultural products. The veling of inter provincial customs tariff a the extension of railways since the Shion has given the people a wide choice of markets, and the people buy and sell direct Without the intervention of the St. John middiemen. This, while operating to the vantage of St, John; has created half ® hundred independent centres of trade, @pened the price of all manufactured to consumers, and enabled producers secure the best markets. There is scarcly * country village that has not been benefited ¥ the change, and the province at large gained immensely. While one may re- éret the shrinkage of St. John trade, it was *cin toa monopoly which the union and Ways have destroyed.’ Young Men :—Read This.
