ofbb�er,thirjgs to be taleen into account What
, s the real index of the pr4osppriiy and
fg�owth'of Canada,'so far as ber produ ' bions
and 1Wr commerce are concerned? It (is the
trade shown by aniourit of the. imports for

arft the products of the country on �tbte

through a country isof some service to some
parties; , but it is not, to be talmit, into
soeficitils account, when ),oil are trying to get
down ibolthe basis, of a country's greathe,�s
,and' prosperity. If you take the dutiablq'
merchandise ind the_free goods imported
into tlii,q country for home consumption,
you -will find tfiat the imports were just
aboiit $44.00,000 greater in 1899 than,they
were. �in"1�96, "If you take, the explirts of

Taking these together, the total, Canadian
trade., in and oil t, is $71,700,000 greater ' in
1896 iban. in 1896. 1 So that we reduce the
ar.lount first from $90,000,000 to $82,600,000.

the Yea.1 'amount of the trade, export and

-is the g,
46*n. ', ain of 1899 over 182. Well,,
Sir, that is it great gain. It is -a gain which
iny govemment and any country may Ivell
be proud of-, but we derive no benefit for
oirrselves, arid we,do not advance the real
interests of this country by representing

L

11kEASURED IN VALUES NOT IN
VOLUME S.
Now, I want' to call the attention of my
bon.' friend. the Minister of Finance to
anotheii point. When he is talking of the
trdde of 1899 being so much. greater than
the trade of 1895, has ' he never . realizcd�
the f , act'that he is speaking about- values
of trade and not volume of trade? To
teike a rough illustration, suppose that In
3895 there was exported from this�couhtry
'A000,000 bushels of wheat at $1 a bushei,
that �vould swell our exports by $20,000,000.
Suppose that in 1889, -%ve exported an equal
artiount, 2OiOOO,OOO bushels, but only at a
Valuation of 50 cents.per bushel, our export.
t ' rable ivoul& then show .$10,000,000 less on
exactly the same amount of sweat and let.
bour and toil represented in the production
of -wheat in Iblib country. The difference in
value nrit%t.be taken"into account as -well
as'tfie difference in volume. 1 am not stat-
ing that that was the difference in value
between 1895 and 1899, but simply use it
foi,the purpose of illustration.
golngL
am' ` on to make two more state.

,the ' index- number is -105,996. 1 am not, go-

.1nerely, give the figures, and any'llon. gen-
.toleman' Ivho wisEes to look in�to it will very
