Canada Should Strike Back, A sub -committee of the United States Senate was recently appointed for the purpose of inquiring into the effects of the McKinley teriff upon trade between the United States and Canada. In pursuance of this duty the members visited Eastport, Ogdensburg, Oswego, Buffalo, Detroit and other places along the frontier. In reporting the results of their inquiry they say that in every instance the American cities wero tenni prosperous and increasing in population, while the Canadian towns opposite here diminishing. They report, too, that Canadian farmers in the nes_'hborhood of the latter were obliged to sell their products at a rate less than that received by their American =genitors equal to the amount of the duty to he paid on entering the United States plus the cost of transport. Tlie joy exprsnsc' 1 at the effect of the new duties tit. its those seeti„ns of the. Dominion bordering upon the United States is a pract.esl e:tnfGssi,in that they wero imposed mainly for the purpose of coercing Canada into the Union. Very D sod. The Canadian (.4overnnlent should promptly accept the gauge thrown dewn. If the Atnertc'tns desire conimercialwar, thie couutry is in a position togive then; all they want, by at once declaring for free trade with England. The adoption of that policy would cheapen the price of manufactured products to our own ;:collie, enormously increase our exports to tee Mother Country, and give a trem- endous impetus to every Canadian town on the American frontier, which would thus be made a depot for the supply of cheap British goods,by the underground raillvey-, to less fortunate consumers across the line. -Toronto News. + + + The Pope's declaration. in favor of State -taught schools for Catholic child- ren in the United States will make it difficult for the Church authorities to continue the fight against ,ane uniform Publio school system to Manitoba. A deputation of ladies beaded by Mrs p 111cDonell of Toronto, had an interview with Premier Abbott last week and ad- vocated the extension of the franchise to women. Mr. Abbott believed that the right to vote would be granted to women in the near future, but he, could not pledge himself to introduce ameasure this session. • • Good news to ;live stock raisers throughout the country came by cable on Monday. It is that all restrictions have been removed in Euglaudand Scot- land. and all Canadian cattle can now move freely through those countries. This will giveCanadian exporters a muck greater chance of making money. Some 2,500 head of Canadian cattle are now ell theirway to the English markets. as** •Mr. William Buckingham of Strat- ford, and Hon. G. W.

To the Owen Soundgrand jury he said : No prohibitory law could pos- sibly be devised by human genius which would stamp out the liquor traffic. In- stead of such a measure, a bill should be passed making lieense very high, so that none but respectable houses could exist ; and power should be given to license inspectors to deprive any house of its license upon a breach of the law, subject town appeal to some disinterest- ed board. This, he maintained,was the only way in which the evils of the tcaffio could be mitigated. Canadian Trade With Britain. The total value of Canadian produce sent abroad in 1891 was eighty-five and three quarter millions. Of this forty- three and a quarter million dollars' worth went to Great Britain, nearly three millions to the rest of the empire, half a million to Germany and $70,000 to Belgium. Of our exports to Great Britain twenty-one millions was repre- sented in animals and their products ; aver eleven millions inforest products ; .live and a quarter millions in agricul- tural products ; two and three-quarter millions in fishery produots,and two and a quarter millions in manufactured artic- les. To Germany our principal exports were $:iiii,00O in animals and their products ; $129,000 iu agricultural pro- duce, and $56,000 in manufactures, while $50,000 in agricultural products represented the bulk of our totalexports to Belgium.. The principal items in our imports from Great Britain were as follows : Woollen goods, $9,110,000 ; iron and steel manufactures, $4,686,000 ; cotton, $3,175,000; iron and steel (partially manufactured) $$,047,000 ; silks, ,- 221,000 ; flax, hemp and jute manufac- tures, $1,371,000; tea, $1,357,000; ani- mals and their products, $1,137,000. Animals and their products, iron and ateel partially manufactured and tea were admitted free. From Germany our imports were largely made up of fancy goods, ironand steel manufactures and glassware. In no other direction is there such promise of devoloping a large and heal- thy brade as with the countries named. Already Great Britain consumeshalf our total exports, and there is no reason why Germany and Belgium should not each take as much of our products as the mo- ther country does now. The trade is a natural one, too, the other parties to the bargain requiring that which we can supply to best advantage—food products —and they offering in return articles we can not so well provide for ourselves. Removing the duties from, or reduc- ing the tariff upon British goods would bea move designed to benefit first the Canadian consumerandsecond, the Brit- ish producer. Itis clear that no enlarge- ment of the farmers' market can be se- cured upon any terms consistent with Canada's hopes of an independent exis- tence. If the boon of larger prices for everything he raises cannot be secured o for the farmer, than the Liberals are not to blame if they propose to increase the purchasing power of his dollar. The whole trouble with the. Opposition trade policy has been that it was wall where it should have been door, and door where it should have been wall. It would have closed aur ports against countries that have been open to ns, 'and opened our ports to countries that were closed to us. (3011DENSED NEWS.

It is said, however,that ot the eleven absent inembers,unpaired, six were Conservatives and live Liberals; so that had every member been present the majority would have been 63, exclu- sive of the Speaker in the chair, There were three vacancies at the time thevote was taken, which may be exsected to reduce the Government majority by just that number; so that counting in the Speaker it may be said that the figure, in a full House, would be 61. But, of course, both North Perth and Blab York may go Conservative,fn which eventthe majority would actu ally reach 66.

The sheep shearing season will soon be on, and a few exhibition animals have already been shorn. The position of the wool market for a fine grade, such as Capes, says the Trade Builetin,at the present time seems to be one of great strength. As the London wool sales are really the wool market of the world, the prices and feelings manifested there care the main factors in regulating values everywhere. ,The enormous character of these sales, of which :five -are held every year, may be understood by the fact that a catalogue, with value of from $750,000 to $1,000,000, and comprising some hundred lots, is all sold in less than a couple of hours. The sales which are now in progress opened pretty quietly, and there seemed to be a poor demand. But as soon as a little com- petition was evident everyone developed a great anxiety to purchase. Conse- quently, prices went up until an advance of nearly . twenty per cent. has been made from the opening, and business is very brisk at the advance. Since the Easter holidays the price alms advanced from a farthing to a halfpenny, and the felling is firm at the advance. The out- look, therefore, is that these prices are likely to be maintained until the next sales, which take place in Jane, and that the market will be pretty firm until then. It does not seem at Ball unlikely that the values may follow the same course, as they have done several times in the last ten years, and that low prices which have ruled, 'and which are now being steadily increased, may be .follow- ed by high:figures. A glance at the fluctuations of the wool market makes this anything but improbable. Women suffering from the ills peculiar to their sex should use Dr. Williams Pink Pills. W. A.
