RODGENS, TovvnAgefit. The thirltell ieW Era PRIDAY.'AUGUSTUtb, 1906 A FOREIGN 'VIEW. The non-political press of the.i.Tnited , Stat$. is not slow to note the great strides Cenada is making and to re- ! meek upon the rhpid growth ,of our (conamerce, indeed, that is pot to be marvelled at, heeds* we stead nearly at the heed of the procession of sue- cessfp/ peoples in that respect, The New Yorlt Journal of Commerce calls attention to the showing we tuake, re- marking that "we [the United States people) are apt to plume 'ourse]ves on the increase of our foreign.tracle with- out realizing how comparatively in- significant it is considering the area and population of the country, Few are aware how much the relativelyun- developed Dozninion of Canada out- ranks the United States in this parti- cular respect in proportion of popula- s tion." And it goes an to make this P ` comment ;' . le The population of Canada, is about 6,000,000, while that of the United States is approximately, if not. quite 80,000,000, or thirteen tiroes as great. The value. of our imports for those seven -months was $695,724,475, and the increase over the same period a yeae before was a little under $70,000.000, Our exports were valued at 81,056,613,- 951, an increase of about $155,500.000. The total foreign, trade amounted to ' $1,752,338,431, or not fere &one 3225,- 500,000 more than for seven months endine with January last 'year. This looks like a -pretty' good record until se the comparition is znade. Canada's total foreign trede Was V o $307,093,986 consisting of $158,259,403f imports and $150;834,433 of exports. This Is about $25- per capita for im- ports and $25 for exports, or $50 in all. The per capita value of our im- ports was 110 and of exports $18 or $22 in all, showing that Canada's foreign trade .vezte relatively .to . population considerably more than double Our own. In importh it was nearly three times &Streak end.in exports just be- - low twice as great. The increase over - a year preyious was in higher proportiou.- As we lay so much' etress upon the volume of exports of various classes the' comparison of these is particularly hiteresting.

At presenethere are seven, and as parlia- ment is to meet minimally early this year, it may be assumed that the seven elections will be held sitnultazieously at no distant date. The electoral dist- ricts Icift Without representatives are East Elgin, North Bruce, and North Renfrew, in Ontario; Quebec. county, Montreal (St. Mary's division), and either NicoIet or Gaspe, in Quebec, and Queen's and Shelbourne, Nova Scotia, Of these seats the three in Onta,rio re- turned Conservatives, theother four returned Liberals. The vacancy in East Elgin was caused by the accept- ance of ant office under the Ontario Gov- ernment by Mr. Ingram; in North Ren- frew, and North Bruce, the sitting members, Messrs. AVhzte, and Bland, respectively, have been carried oft by death; Mr Fitzpatrick, member for Quebec county, has been created Chief Justiee of tla,e Supreme Court of Can- ada, Mr, Ptche, of IVIontreal has taken a judicial office; Mr. Lemieux, who was returned by both Nicolet and Gaspe, - has elected to sit for one, and this • leeves a vacant seat for the other; Arts • Fielding has jutzb been Unseated for Queen's and Shelburne.

Charges of personal corruption were dismissed, and the costs due to ' them were ordered to be paid by the petitioner. -Both Chin t Justice Weath- erbe and Mr. Justice Russell com- mented on the hardship of subjecting to such a penalty a candidate who did not authorize the corrupt practices in this case, and who has reiwtsys been. notoriously averse to the corrupt use of money at elections, The Chierlos. tice spoke of Win as "a statesman whose whole desire was to serve his eountry," and lusted the fat thetthe corrupt practices Were limited to "e, few agents among so many persons who innocently assisted in securing his election."
