the le*ters deserves credit tor the energy dis played by him io brinwi.g tie uastter so prom inently before the people of Montague —It is | evident from the facts published in Tur Exe! AMINER that Mr, Gillie is in every way en- | titled to something substantial for his almost unexampled bravery in saving the lives of so many of his fellowmen. More especially is this the case at present on accouut of his be- ing ao invalid and under treatment in the Prince Edward Island Hospital, As the writ- er in Tne EXAMINSR wields @ ready pen and ie quite familiar with the heroic deeds of Mr. Gillis, who else is better qualified than he to bring the matter before the proper author- ities? Let him rest assured that he shall re- ceive the sympathy and influence of our highly respected clergyman as well as all others of influence in the community.”

eee Facts for Reflection.

The Empire's Ottawa correspondent furnishes some very striking and significant figures trom the public returns of last year.

The foreign trade of the Dominion in 1892 was the greatest on record, and the exports were nearly $12,000,000 greater than in any year of the country’s histery,

Oar commerce has been gravitating to- wards the Mother country, the West Indies, China and Japan, precisely in those direc- tions where our Government has been trvy- ing to cultivate it.

In certain products the showing of 1892 is a magn fivent one. Free sugsr has in- duced a largely increased import of that article, though we do not observe that the temper of our political apponents is any aweeter in cons quence. In 189) Ciuads imported 189,282,237 pounds; last year, 258,642,211 pounds.

In eggs, butter and cheese the triumphs of Canadiaa exporters have been remarkable. Compared with 1890 when 3,600 eggs valued at $820 were sent to Britain, last year saw 3,987,655 dozen valued at $582,218 sent there.

Of cheese 1892. saw 128,410,720 Ibs. ex ported — mostly to Britain of course—valued at $12,554,286, the greatest figure yet reached in this important branch of our farmer's trade.

Canadian butter ia going ahead by leaps and bounds, the export in 1892 being 5,736,- 696 Ibs, valued at $1,056,058. This is splendid. The msrket is Britain again. The genus ‘tar ff reformer’ will please note that the customs duties in 1892 were $4 25 per head, compared with $4.84 per head in 1891, $5 23 per head in 1883.

The luland Revenue returns show an in- crease of revenue. The consumption of tobacco is about the sams, the number of cigars manufactured being much greater. The people drank less spirits, beer and wine than they did the previous year.
