..,._.. FACTS FOR FARMERS.
The full returns of Canada's trade for
1893 have just been made public Farm
ers more espaeially willful(' ample food
in those returns to"read, mark, learn
and inwardly digest," Any one who
pretends that Canada is in a, poor de
pressed. Condition must be a fool or a
lunatic. From the above mentioned
returns we gather that the total foreign
trade of this country, in 1898, was not
only the largest ou record—reaching
the phcnomonal sum of $247,638,000—
but what is even more euceuraging
as revealiug the true financial state of
the Dominion, the exports from Cana-
da to foreign countries reached the
magniliceut stun of $129,074,000; while
the imports exceed those of 1892, and
yielded a larger amount of revenue
Such are the general fe ttures of the
Trade returns for 1893, Now, let us
rook at some of the details—more par
tieular ly those in which our farmers,
who are the bone and sinew of the
country, are most interested. Every
oue knows that of late years, special
attention has been paid to dairy pro
duce—which, owing to the deminished
value of wheat and other grains, has
proved of immense value to our farm-
ers. And while the increase in the
foreign trade has been pretty fairly
distributed over all agricultural pro
ducts, as well as other articles of Ca-
nadian make, it is encouraging to find
that in certain articles—such as cheese,
butter, horses, bacon, apples, canned
meats, etc,—the increase has been very
marked. In cheese, for example, the
exports have gone up from $12,554,000
in 1892 to $14,157,000 in 1893; in but-
ter from $1,273.000 to $1,300,000; in
canned meats from $631.,000 to $1,006,
000; in apples, the increase has been
doubled; while in many other articles
there has been a sensible increase.
Now some of our leading politicians
have sought to derpeciate the value of
our export trade to Great Britain, and
to magnify the importance of reciprocal
trade with United States, that there has
been ever since the McKinley tariff was
enforced, a great expansion of trade to
Biitain from this country, will he made
clear by ,the following particulars:
There was imported into Britain from
Canada in 1893, cheese to the value of
$13,360,000 as against $11,503,000
worth in 1892. A similiar increase is
noticed in many other articles of farm
produce—among which we see that in
apples shipped to the old country the
export has been doubled, amounting,
last year to the handsome figure of
$2,247,000! These facts ought surely
to convince our fasmers of the necessity
for giving special attention to dairy
produce and to horticulture—either' of
which will repay the investment of
capital and labor far better than wheat
or other grains. It is gratifying to
know that while the trade and corn
merce of the Dominion has been ex-
tended largely to Great Britain, United
States, Newfoundland, Belgium, and
the Argentine Republic,—we are ou
the eve of consummatipg an extensive
trade with the Australian Colonies,
for which arrangements are now in
progress to complete a line of fast sail
ing steamship between Vancouyer and
Sydney, N. S. W. The federal govern
ment has taken the initiative in this
matter, and it is understood that a
united Conference will be held in Otta-
wa in June, at which delegates from
the Antipodes will be present to consult
with the Dominion government on re-
ciprocal terms of trade,
