CANADIAN TRADE Canada is astonishing not only her own people but the whole would as well by the rapid increase and immense volume of her trade. The total trade of the year, which includes both imports and expori s, is set down at $467, 637, 049, and shows an increase of $48, 750,111() over last year. Dur- ing the long Conservative term of oiilcc, extending over 18 years from 1878 We were proud to note that our trade in-_ creased by about three and a third millions ayear. But since 1896 the increase in volume has been $227,686, 182, or over 32§ millions yearly, being nearlv ten times the rate of increase during the previous 18 year period. That our trade has doublei in seven years time is something that not‘ eveathe most optimistic of Canadians# would have predicted at the beginning of that period. A few comparisons will serve the better to show that Canada is making progress in trade that are, as we believe unparalled in the history of commerce. Last year our ‘ Canadian exports were $37 per head of our population as compared with sis pn and 1 in the United States. Our total trade in __ imports and exports was $81 per head, compared with $31 per head in the United State s. Our smart neighbors may be _ really surprised to learn that our trade is $50 per head of population greater than their own. Equally remarkable is another comparison. In 1850 when the population of the United States was twenty-three millions its foreign trade amounted to, but $3%,(@(ll0, while now Canada, with ` 'i THEGLOW OF HEALTH . mousse” -mv sr" s a _ _ ow e comp on which speaksof the 'vigor and vitality of :::.;':f*°°~ .i“°'° “ °°.:°::.§°f.°;‘”v” e, we c a n e ow of health than blyeihia persistent use of Dr Chase’s 'Nerve Food, the great food cure I foreign trade otfaboat 8 A ‘from its obligation to provide continuous - -- = s-rr' ‘ ~» w ' ‘~vo1< `f"'==f ' il .°~f>»ff»=_~ M' --»‘\~'~*°->- » *wr ~*--- 51- _ ..

For some reason not full! 61111311195 17° the general public an atrempil bl! 59°" made to make our representatives at0 ta- \ wa believe that the peopleof Charlotte- _ toven andthe Island are opposed to the Capes Ferry bill. At a very small meet~ ing of the Charlottetown Board of Trade. with fc urteen members present ares ilution was passed by a vote of seven to four the majority making upa bare half of a small meeting, and this resolution was thought important enough to be wired to Ottawa. Next we hear that F. L. Haszard and ‘Richard Hunt appeared before the Rail- way Committee at Ottawa in _opposition to me bm. 'roman respectable and in- fluential men no doubt, but Wlwm did they represent? Their principal argument seems to have been that the incorporation of the ferry company might in some wa! tend to release _ the iezieral Government 4 4 steam communication. Both Mr. Haszard and Mr. Hunt are quite intelligent enough to know that it could not possibly have any such sheet, and so the reason for the opposition to the ferry company must be sought for elsewhere. ' So far as we oanidnd the public are not only not opposed, but are very favorable to the development of the Capes Route. Preferably we would have the Govern- ment complete the .i ork upon which al- ready a good deal of public _money has spent, but the next best thing would be to have a strong company undertake it- We want free competition in the carrying trade between the Island and the Main- land.
