The mice of Nova l$erRia coal in 1
were 881,186 ; in 1878, 963,611 tons.
1879 the sales were 680,624, and in 1
amounted to 954,109 toms and in 1
to 1,034,800 tuns. This showed that
1880, with the N. P. in full force,•t
increase wet. 73.550 tones over 1876, a
that in 1881, with the N. P. still in f
force, and with the country prospernu
is hon. gentlemen opposite claimed,
was 153,694 tons over those in 187
There was at the same time a warren,.
increase in the importation of Amen
coal into Ontario. The 1677 impo
were 470,71!{ tons; 1878. 688,412 ton
1879, 643.283 t..s1; 1880, 867,164 ton

:.,.0 from the Nova Scotian ,.ns in fu
force, the imports item' the Unit
were 810,970 tons. In et
la, we imported 220,558 tons.
...r words, we imported 220,558 mu
in 1878, before the Nati,:nal Policy w
in force. Take the prices of coal in th
three great markets of the United Stat
they made no distinction in them
they asked their price and they got it,n
matter where the coal was to be sent to
On the. first day of every month th
price of ooal was fixed by the produce
and it retrained M that for the rest
the month. The three great marke
were Buffalo, Cleveland and Oswego
The figures he quoted were from th
Secretary of the Boards of Trade
Cleveland and Oswego, and manager fo
the coal dealers in Buffalo. The price o
the best hard coal in Buffalo, where th
price of that article was regulated i
1876,waa 84.10; the pace now was $5.55
a long ton, $4.96 for a short ton. To
show the utter dishonesty of the Min-
ister of Railways' figures, whoever
had prepared theta, it wax only ne-
cessary to mention that he quoted
for long ton in the United States;when
it was well known that coal was sold
here by the short ton. In 1877 theprice
was $4.60 per short tun, in 1878 $4.40,
in 1879 the price went down to $3.06,
in 1880 it was 84.80, ani in 1881 $4.95,
or fifteen cents a ton more than in 1880.
For the last three years, as would be
seen, thepricehad gone up regularly. If
in•neseed detystimulatedtheproduction,
making competition greater and so re-
ducing the price, how could this increase
be explained Take the different kinds
of coal, and this was a distinction which
the hon. Minister cautiously failed to
stake. The only fair way to make a
comparison was to compare the prices of
each grade on both sides of the line.
The Minister of Railways spoke as if our
increased output of, coal, which, fur all
the boasted advantages of the National
Policy, was only seventy-three tons over
the output in 1873, had the effect of re-
ducing the price of Amencan coal. He
might as well say it had the effect of re-
ducing the price throughout the world.
Take the pries of grate coal in the mar-
ket in Buffalo. In 1877 the price was
N.45 per ton; in 1878, $N.55; in 1879,
$2.90; in 1880, $4.56; in 1881, $4.65;
showing a higher figure the last year
than it has reached in six years. The
same was true W about an equal extent
of the other varieties of coal at different
points. In the table he had quoted the
Minister of Railways had quoted the
price in 1878 at $3.85, but he left out
1879. Why 1 Benin. the price dipped
down that year. In 1880 the price
quoted by the Minister was $3.04 and
in 1881 $4.25. This table was wholly
wrung, for in 1880 the price was $4.5.
or $1.01 more than quoted by the Min-
ister. The bon. Minister made a very
interesting calculation. He put the price
of coal at Oswegoat $5.75, the freight
from Owego to Belleville 40 cents, ware-
house dues 28 Dents, and if the duty was
paid, $6.93, allowing no� profit to the
dealer while the price was !]5.50, show-
ing that the pries of owl was not in-
creased by the duty. But in . rder to
make his argument good, the Minister
quoted octal at Oswego $1.60 beyond the
price be himself had quoted when trying
to prove sometbieg else. In order to
prove his position, the ben. Minister had
pat the prise of Boal in the American
market at $1.50 mere than his quotation
when he tried to prove that competition
had redneed the priosof oral. 'The hon.
gentlenun was us.M. to prove to the
Hoose that at any time in 1880 or 1881
did Boal sell is hrw.ge by the short toe
at anything like the pries M had stated.
}le read from the Secretary (.t the Board
..f Trude saying that the tariff did not
affect tis pries of Boal there, as the dety
necessarily fall spoil the oussumer.
