progress mai patriotism of the Queen

the late lanie,nted Prenaier of Canada.

It was soneetnne before the speaker
could resume for the prolouged out
burst a applause. The keynote. ef
Col. Vincent'splendid address was the
fiscal co.operation of all British. subjects

mon progress. The great barrier felt
at present was the prohibitory taaiff
ereeted by foreign countries, and the
disadvantage of free trade in England

conclusiVely that England was at the

of John Bell plug down upon his
knees to ask favors from a "Yankee
Combine," when by the imposition of a
small duty on foreign bread stuff's the
United Kingdom coulcl obtain all its
supplies within the bounds of the Brit
ish Empire. The. Toronto Board of Trade
had already declared in favor of trade
between Canada and all other, British
Colonies upon a preferential basis. So
Mae the great majority of the mem-
bers of -Dominion parliament. The same
is true of large and enthusiastic meet-
ings held by Col. Vincent in Ottawa
anMontreal, St. john N. B.,Halifax Ni,
S., and Hamilton.. Look at the indust-
rial position of the United Kingdom.
The mother country is alone among all
the nations of the world in admitting
imports free of duty,—imports which
complete in the Satne market with the
labor of England's over crowded popu-
lation. Is this a right or reasonable
policy? It is all the more unreasonable

The effect of the McKinley tariff is to
well known in Canada. Said Col Vin-
cent, "that tariff is not likely to be re-
pealed by an early Congress". The
movements on the part .of the U. S.
authorities for extending their trade
relations with foreign countries, such
as Spain and its Colonies, Brazil, and
others likely soon to follow,—shows that
British trade has been. "badly hit" by
that latest American tariff, and there-
fore- in self-defence. the United Empire
(including Canada) must make an im-
mediate move in the direction of con-
sidering' the commercialinterests of the
Empire. The remedy is to be found—

CANADA'S MINERAL WEALTH
It is only since the completion of the
Canada Pacific Railway that the real
extent and value of Canada's tnineral
neources have begun to be realized,
The area in which minerals of econom-
in value are found is not confined to
one seetion or Province of the I)omin
Son; in neaely every province are to he
seen rinmistakeable indications of min-
eral ores of exceeding richness, that
only need the applieation of skilled lab-
or to yield ten:Arias in renumerative
quantity. In the older Provinces, such
as Nova Scotia and British Columbia,
gold, iron, coal, and other less yaluable
ores have been worked profitably far
many- years. But in tile newer Prov-
inces, such as in the N, W. Tertitory,
Ka.evaalin,ai d the distaici, of country
through which the 0, P,R runs tO the
north of the greet lake, there haVe
been discovered bed e Of the most vain
;Ole mineralse—leelndieg coal, nickel,
copper, iron, lead, asbestee,Sse, it seams
A most providential Occurrence that in
the great: North Western territory,
whey.° wood -in many nlacee is scarce
and. of such infeaioe quality, immense
deposits of coal • have been found—
web as in the Souris region,. and .on
different branches ef the Seskatchewan
thus providing for the wants of the
millions of sattlers that muse eke long
inhabit that part of Canada. It will be
admitted that we are only on the eve
of operations, as compared with
the older country to the South of us
This is evident from the government
returns, which makes the s.alue of Call-
ada's mineral peoOncte for 1337 to be
ouly $12,00.0,000, as against the same
class of ptodnets in the Vetted States
for that year which amounted. in value
to over $540,000,000. According to
such an eminent authority as Dr. G.
Dawson, whose experience on the geo.
logical survey of Canada entitles him
to great reepect, tbs: mountanions re-
gion of -British Celutiibia whiph e atends

operation—but this involves the invest-
ment of capital, and the einploytnent of
of a large body of met, both of',WhiCh
must add materially to the nation's
wealth. We have in Our mineral re-
sources a rich inheritance, which , jib
sane government Will be ready to bar-
ter away for a mess Of pottage. The
royalty levied by government on min-
ing operations will of itself be a valu-
able sourse of revenue in reducing the
national debt; while the inteoduetion
of capital and skilled leboravith a large
increase of population to work ins our
mineral resources, will prove a mighty
impetus to national groweth and , de-
velopement. What has made England
the wealthy nation that she is, but her
mining operations? And here is the
Dominion of Canada we have au im-
mense area of mineral treasure that
bids fair, if only utilized, to make lier
the brightest gem in the British
Crown.

THE CENSUS OF 1801.
The results of the decennial census
for 1S91 have now been laid before
Parliament. It would appear that the
present population ef the Dominion
hardly reaches, as was anticipated, a
mend five millions. Contrary to ex-
pectation, the increase daring the last
decade has not been in proportion to
the previous ten year. In the Mari
time Provinces there has been no sen-
sible increase. The Western Proyincea
giye a better shewing—from which it
would appear that Ontario and Quebec
have more than held their own, in the
face of a steady emigration westward.
The cities and towns have increased
more in proportion than the rural dis-
tricts. This is easily explained by the
tendency of many young people who
get tired of country life to leave their
homes andfind their way into the cit -
lee and towns where factories and oth-
er public .works give remunerative
employment, as well as afford many
attractions and inducements to young
people. Toronto gistes a large show-
ing, having more than doubled its
population in the ten years. Hamilton
stands next—then London and Ottawa,.
But in the prairie Provinces, thegrow-
th of cities i8 something -phenomenal,
Winnipeg, Victoria, WeetMtnster, and
Vancouver, B: C. stand at the head of,
the list in respect of pereentage of in-
'crease—the latter city having reached
nearly 14,000 in less than three ,years.
It appears that in the United States,
as well as'ia Great Britain, the ex,
pectations of an increase of population
have not been realized. One 'thing.
might to be a source Ofcongratulation
to us in,Canedpeandehat. is
though we may not have increased
in the same ratio as the United States,
yet we can boast of a good class of ine
Migrants and. of a population whose
chatacter as law-abiding citizens corn
'pares inoat fayorably witinany country
in the known world. We have lesS., of
fluetuating community in. this, Do-
minion than in Many other countries:
and we have, a stalwart race that bids
far, with -other circumstances, to . ad -
Vence one material and mem:: prosper-

in denonneing the Quebee goverement
:"steal", here is whet e good Liberal
newspaper (the :"1:lontreal Witness")
say Of the tnatter;—,4Mr.. Mercier, Mr,
Langelier and the other members of
the Quebec Government ,have not as
yet made the first move: towards facing
or answering the charges virtually
made against them of plundering the
Quebec money through .the agency
of public contractors. The evidence
already it seems to establish beeood
all doubt the guilt not only of Mr: Pa-
caed, Mr. Mercier's political agent, but
of Mr. Mercier himself, who, ;it would
appear from the evi:lenee, maintained
the grand style of liyieg for which he
was noted in Paris- during his visit
there, by ineane of moneys Procured by
Mr. Paca,m1 through this very job. The
Qeebec.GoVeenment. pretends ,.•thet, it
objects to answering these charges be-
fore the Senate Committee on Railways
because the Dominion Parliament,they
hold, has Constitutionally no jurisdiet,
ion over the affairs of the Quebec Leg.
islature, and also because the nieinbees
of the Quebec Government can only he
called to account by the Quebec Legis-
lature. There is, of course, seine
grounds for these objections, but the
Members of the Quebec Government
should remember that the Dominion
Parliament voted a subsidy to'friis rail-
way on the strength, partly, of the sub
sidy voted- by the Quebec Legislature,
apd. that it is, therefoutuite Within its
proyince to enquire Whether the Que-
bec subsidy has been or is being devot-
ed to the purposes for which it is Voted
and that in .this course of thiS investig-
ation it has been apparently proved
that a very large proportion of the s ib.
sidy, amounting to Over slaty per cent,
of the Whole has been diverted with
their knowledge and consent to the
private and pOlitieal uses of the: Mem
