Vince,nt M. P. lied acs corded to him a most enthnsiestic wel. .corne by the merchants priocees of To- ronto. He paid a just tribute. to the progress mai patriotism of the Queen eity, and when the Colmade refetence to those twelve impeenhable words of the late lanie,nted Prenaier of Canada. British subject I was born, A British subject I will die." 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 in a common fiscal pelley and a coin. mon progress. The great barrier felt at present was the prohibitory taaiff ereeted by foreign countries, and the disadvantage of free trade in England Oaring to the perpetuation of the de - fund Cobden policy. It was shown conclusiVely that England was at the mercy Of American wheat peedneers and the pietere was vividly presented 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 -When it is considered that no less a sum than, upwards of a hundred million dol- lars of revenue are raised from non - competing :articles, the greater part of which is necessary for every man, wo- man and child in the United ieingdom 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— not in humiliating ourselves by a re- peal of British connection, and becorn. ing hewers of wood and drawers , of water to a foreign power but in adopt- ing such a fiscal policy as shall give a r- Canada, in the future development of Such a policy will be everything to preferential tariff to our Kith and Kin. ,J its resources, natural and mineral, which are second to none in the world; and giving wealth and wages to both employer and inaploved. Our trade with Great Britain already exceeds one , handeed million dollars per annunnand that trade Can be doubled or trebled by ;denting the principles and policyof the United Empire -Trade League. We need. hardly add that with the single exception of one or tWo ."1,ane and dis• ponsolate individuals," a resolution ap- preying the ptinciples and th4t. policy - Was tmanitnouslyeadopted by the im- mense gatherings hi Toronto. 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 some KO miles North and South con- tains "the most impertaet metal.lifeeona belt Of the Continent". and from im- mense mineral resources. There must needs SOOn be, and will be doubtless, mighty developement of our mining 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. 611,111.11M.MOCFAMMULVIMMIIIMINN.M•3011 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- ity as a Imam.. Further . details will prove of inteeest in so :fat as the rep resentation of ,tite. different Provinces in Parliament is coneerned, when 11 will doubtless appear, than iti Manitoba and the North West territory 'there will be en inereine in the number of Members. On the whole the repOtted increase of half a inilike itt One popu- lation 18 not to be despisad. TIIE QUIREC PECULATION. Leet it May be thought that Consery tive are actuated by political motives 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 .bers of the , Gevernment ,-and of Mi.
