|Sir Charles Explains the Situation. a, 2. Sir Cuartes Tpprer, a few days ago,

addressed the megbers of the Associated Chambers of Coiamerce of Great Britain.

g, Sum- He referred to th., great distress existing in

some parts of the ‘Mother Country, caused

at by the want of rémunerative employment

\in congested and impoverished centers of |population; pointed out the advantages /Great Britain possesses in being able to |transplant her surplus population to her own great coluni’s of Canada and Austra- | lasia; spoke of t}:2 results of Confederation; and explained {6 situation which led to the adoption oi the National Policy. He said (we ‘quote the Canadian Cazette): ‘* The change was forced upon the Cana- dians by the fats that they were 4,500,000 of people living alongside a foreign country of 50,000,000, divided by a boundary line ‘extending from 3,060 to 4,000 miles. 'Under these cigeumstances it was impos- ‘sible for eae to properly consider the interests .of their country without having some regard to the policy of the great nation with whom they were so in- timately associgted. During the Civil War in the United States Canada,jwas eminently prosperous, because the labor market in the Republic wal Mocdiotste demoralized. When, however, peate was happily restored in that country, and the labor market re- gained its normal condigion, they found that by the policy adeptegiby the United States of affording prot to their in- dustries, and so shut ing ut entirely the products of Canada, the position of the reatly changed. They found declining trade, a declining revenue, and serious deficits, which were likely to interfere with their maintaining their credit and obtaining the means of developing the great resources of the country. This being the case, they adopted the policy of giving a certain measure of protection to the in- dustries of the Domini The result had been to greatly ine he volume of their trade, co promote inc d emigration to the country, and to fugmish remunerative employment for the . They had large surpluses instead Of deficits, and they were thus enabled to werk out the great national question of the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and to proceed with the work with a vigor and success which under other circumstances would have been quite impossible. By the rapid construction of the railroad, they were at the same time enabled to open up for settle- ment the vast fertile territory of the North- west of @anada. The effect was already apparent in the influence upon emigration, which has lately increased in the Domin- ion, whilst simultaneously it showed a relative decrease to the United States.

They were now able to offer to settlers in- ducements as great as. if not greater than,

the United States. The work, moreover, had been going on so rapidly that, by the end of 1885, they hoped to be able to oon- vey passengers in a Pullman car, without change, from Halifax on the Atlantic Ocean

to Port Moody on the Pacific. All this, it should be remembered, had been ac-

complished, not only without de- creasing, but with steadily increas- ing imports from the Mother Country.

To a nation like England, which import- ed a large amount of the grain and meat required for home consumption, it was a matter of no little importance that by the construction of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, and the development of the Canadian Northwest, they were preparing to furnish both grain and cattle to an extent that would have been otherwise quite out of the question. In addition te the fact that emigration from this country to Canada contributed to the strength and prosperity of the colonial portions of the empire, the people of England had a direct interest in the subject. For the trade returns showed that every person who went to Canada

became a consumer of nearly four times as much of the products of this country as would be the case if he went to the United States. Con-

sidering, therefore, all these facts, Sir Charles Tupper concluded by repeating, he was not at all surprised to find that an in- fluential commercial body, such as he was addressing, representing as it did the com- merce of the whole country, were fully alive to the importance of the toast of “The British Colonies.” Sir Charles Tupper was loudly cheered on resuming his seat,and was subsequently thanked by many of the leading members of the Chamber for the lucid and interesting speech which he had given.

Mr. Kimball, Vice-President of the Rock Island Railroad, happened to be riding in the cars behind two section hands. The conductor came in and collected fare from one of the men, the other having previously paid. Said the latter to his gag friend: ‘*‘T can travel oa this read when I want to and never pay a cent.” ‘‘How’s that?” said the other. ‘‘It’s a secret,” said the first. Mr. Kimball pricked up his ears, and thought he had a good-sized “‘hen on,” The Paddy who laat paid his fare got off at a way station, and Mr. Kimball altp d into the vacant seat. ‘‘Have a smoke?” he said to the remaining Irishman. ‘“‘How do you manage to travel without paying? I do a deal myself and would like to know.” Would ye loike to know?’ said Pat, looking cunning. ‘‘Indeed I would, and J’ll give you $10 if you'll tell me.” “No.” ‘Bifteen.” “No.” ‘“Twenty-five.” ‘‘Done,” said the section hand, and the cash was forked over. ‘Be Jabers, I walk?” remarked Pat, ag he quietly shoved the cash into his boot leg, This same Pat is section foreman on the Rock Island, near Davenport,

Nature's Minstrelsy.

upon the wave,” and the following lines, clipped from the Winnipeg Sun, will be ad-

the loving reminiscences as for the genuine poetry they contain. }

Oh bird of eve upon the woodland bough,

Now in the twilight hour thy song awakes

The trembling chords of happy memories

Of nature’s minstrelsy in days gone bye.

“‘Abegeweit” dear, dear, ‘“thome upon the wave,

How often asa child about thy shores

Have 1 not heard the music of the deep,

At morn when the bright sun did gild the sea,

The dancing waves did sing their matin song

Ateve when wandering breezes landward came

From tields afar of ocean’s barren foam

The curling waters sounded on the sands,

At night when nature’s voice was terrible,

The roaring surf did lash the rock-bound

coast, And thunder howling diapason tones, Crashed|through the harmonies of ocean storm. Oh, wild and grand those nights were long

ago,

And Cie the storm was hushed, the ioland

pines

Within the sombre forest moaning sighed,

As fitfully the wind swept through the trees.

Ah, then was nature’s music strangely sad,

As if it sang the solemn requiem

For the young sailor lad out on the sands,

And I have heard far out upoz the sea,

When moonlight fell upon the dancing wave,

The charming witchery, the merry tune

Of flute notes pealing while the silvery light,

Of moon and star and cloud was beautiful.

And oft in boyhood with the fisher folk,

ae the long summer night upon the eep,

How sweet the music of the lapping wave

Against the boat’s frail side did gently sound

To waft my boyish slumbers into dreams,

_—S when autumn’s freshening breeze did

ow,

I heard the curlew piping o’er the downs,

While ceaselessly the far off ocean foam

In volling symphony broke o’er the sands.

Oh, loved ‘‘Abegeweit!”’ still the music sweet,

The minstrelsy of nature round thy shores,

Sweeps through the golden chords of memory;

And eoengs entranced among the columned

aisies

Of old cathedrals dim with mellow light,

I hear the swelling tones of organ peal,

Now softly sweet, now exquisitely sad,

Now passionately grand the harmony.

Yet will my memory ever wander home

To where the surf beats wild on distant

shores;

Home of my youth! home of the twilight

hours!

Where on the waters dear old songs were sung

By friends now scattered o’er the wide, wide

world;

Some roams the groves of sweet Bermudian

isles,

Some ‘neath the pines of the far New Zealand

shores,

Some on the sunny slopes of lovely Italy,

Think of the days of happiness gone bye.

Oh, how delightful on thy waters broad,

Dear Hillsborough, fair river of the sea,

It was to sail by night upon thy waves

And hear the songs by sweet-lipped maidens

sung.

Sweet are the memories of those happy eves,

And like the distant hills low lying, blue

In hazy loveliness far o’er the sea,

They form the shadowy realm of boyhood’s

years

Beyond the silvery zone, where the wild sea

Of after life rolls back upon the sands.

Still do the echoes faint of ringing bells,

In old church spires sound from that shadowy

realm ;

And voices of the past oft sing again

At dewy eve the songs of other days.

But among childhood's memories, the songs

Of sweetest melody were ever those—

The dear old English songs at even sung,

Sometimes by hearthlight in the winter night,

Sometimes by twilight in the summer eve,

Sung by the mother whom I loved so well.

N. B.—‘‘Abegeweit,” or “home on the wave,” is the old name that the Micmac Indians gave to Prince Edward Island.

——P + @ Sa Wealth in England.

RAPID INCREASE SINCE THE TIMES OF THE STUARTS.

At one of the recent meetings of the British Association Mr. M. G. Mulhall read a paper, in which he said that since the time of the Stuarts the increase of wealth had been more rapid than that of population. In 1660 the wealth of Eng- land and Wales was £:250,000,000, the population 5,500,000, making the wealth tr head £45, In 1812 the wealth of the nited Kingdom was £2,190,000,000, the population 18,927,000, and the wealth per head £127. In 1882 the wealth of the nation was £8,720,000,000, the popula- tion 35,004,000, and the wealth per inhab- ctant £249. Public wealth had quadrupled since the Waterloo epoch, and doubled sinee the accession of Queen Victoria. The wealth of the nation in 1882 was made up as follows: Lands, £1,880,000,000; cattle, ete., £414,000,000; houses, £2,280,000,000; railways,£750,000,000; shipping, £120,000, - 000; merchandise, £250,000,000; furniture, £1,140,000,000; bullion, £143,000,000; foreign loans, £1,080,000,000; sundries, £563,000,000. The increase of wealth as been real, and very much in exeess of prices, as was shown by statistics. The figures already given showed the nominal wealth of the nation. The effective wealth in 1660 was £595,000,000, or £109 per head of inhabitants; in 1812, £3,080,000,000, or £171 per head; and in 1882 the same as that previously mentioned. The defusion of wealth since 1840 had been four times greater than the increase of population. Probable returns showed that 17 per cent. of population were above want in 1840 and 31 percent. in1877. The food consumption per head had much increased. —London Times.

Lord Granville has received a despatch from Lord Dufferin saying that the British consul at Chics reports that 1,000 persons on the mainland were killed and wounded by the earthquake, and assistance is urgent- ly required. Lord Granville has sent. a despatch to the Lord Mayor, who will re- ceive donations for the sufferers.

An Alexandria despatch states that the village in the outskirts, in which it was ‘announced that cholera had broken out, has heretofore escaped the infection. It is believed that the disease there now is caus- ed by infiltration into the canal running the village of water from the adjacent cem- eteries in which cholera victims are in- terred.

After these will follow the royal party, coviposed of the nobility, cloth- ed in steel, The King, bearing an_ ori- flamme, will bring up the rear.

The export of horses from Montreal to the United States for the fiscal year ending June 30 last shows a falling off in number, which, however, is nearly made up in value. The total shipments for the past year end- ing Jane 50 were 2,811, costing $640,315 82, against 5,680 costing $653,856 44, for the year previous. It will be seen that the decrease .n the number of animals exported has been met by a corresponding increase in value. The average price paid by Ameri- can buyers last year was $227 78 against $115 11 for the year previous.

News from Ca Town states that striking miners at Kimberly have made a riotous demonstration, and much damage has been done. Special constables fired at the rioters and shot two natives.

An explosion occurred last night in Wharncliffe Charlton colliery, near Barns- ley. Twenty-three men in the pitare re- ported to have all perished. Three bodies have been recovered. Particulars of the accident near Barnsley say when the ex- plosion occurred five men rushed to the shaft and were drawn up alive, though injured. Twenty men remaining in the pit were lost. The falling of the roof delays the work of the searches for the bodies, It is supposed that the explosion was caused by a blast shot.

I trust that you will not be among those that will be ashamed of the responsibility of the glories of the empire to which you belong, but that it will be your work to consolidate it, to unify and to knit the hearts of you kith and kin in those distant regions more closely to yourselves. (Cheers.) I trust that you will not forget that if you belong to those who would bring about a new state of things entirely in England, having no relation to the old, that you will be cursed by the posterity which is by you deprived of the traditions of its honorable history (cheers,) and I trust that in the end, by showing fairnessand honesty toward all na- tions, maintaining your rights with deter- mination, you wll be respected by them, and that England will be the centre or will be the pole star to which the heart’s com- pass of every one of her colonies in every distant region of the world shall curn throughout that greater Britain which ought to be your glory and your pride,” (Loud cheers. ) , ——=2 3 oe
