It would be, perhaps, within thc mark to say that whfn 111C Dominion was formed, no dailymewspaper within its borders had a xirculaiiou "of . i 5,000 copies.

But iii thc first scvcu ycdrs after ihc union, thc number of dailies in Canada had doubled, the biaritiiuc Provinces lacing supplied with eight in i874. Today ilic (lziilv ncwspapcrs of Canada number over one hundred, while their aggregate circulation has (lotibilcss iucrcasctl fiftceufold since I867.

I remember well trying to condense into one or two hundred words an outline of some field night in the Commons in which Canada's greatest men discussed the weighty questions of the time. ‘These telegrams were of necessity condensed to the last limit, and when they appeared in print, aft-er being somewhat am- plified by the night editor, thc result was sometimes amusing, and at other times almost tragic. The names would often g0 wrong, for the rank and file of the Ontario and Quebec members were

names of the members of the Parliament of the Australian Com- monwealth today. In the eastern newspapers, especially, letters supplemented or took the place 0f the present full telegraphic rc- liorts, while pen portraits of the leading Canadian statesmen auti- cipatcd th-E- life-like plate pictures which have since made their faccs familiar in cvcry household. There were many letter writ- crs in the press gallery. To those from Ontario and Quebec, thc newly arrival hiaritime Province statesmenqsat unconsciously for their pen portraits. The Maritime mcn in the gallery in their turn sketched thc Ontario and Quebec notables. It was a eort of general introduction all around.‘

And when the four new men from the breezy prairies camc in I871, and the six members from beyond the Great Divide, thc letter-writers had also to introduce them to newspaper readers. Th-cy were luilccd objects of no small degree of curiosity. Don- ald A. Smith and John C. Schultz, destined later for titular dis- tinction; Omor De Cosmos, “lover of the universe"; big, burly Iiunstcr, and-long-haircd, picturesque Thomson, of ‘Caribou, served They had come so farYhy thccircuitous routes ofthose days, thatio some

Contrast this with the last election to thc Commons in Winnipeg, when Mr. Bole was returned with the support of 4,308 votes, while his unsuccessful opponent had more than 4,000.
