Tv.-etlty-tisree Bears ago July
rst, say the Hamilton Specta-
ter, Canada entered the faintly
taf iaatioanS as a Dominion, She to

--au: integral portion of the British
empire, but not a subject colony—
a state with power over all her
local concerns, but holding inter,
course with foreign powers only
t?^r egli the Imperial Government.
The population at confederation
was about 3,2oo,000 ; it is now
more thee .eoo,000---probably not
far iron 5,250,000. This growth
isjust about equal to thatt of the

The taxes have increased from
about $3.50 to about ti5.5O per
head of the populatk u. Iu 1876
the net debt of the Dominion was
. 7ti,Gi;a,0e0 ; it is now $234,oere-
000, But provincial debts to the
Amount of $31,000,0oo have been
assumed, so that the real iucrease
has been about $x27,000,000.
About $150,000 has been expended
on public works.
Our foreign trade has not kept
pace with the growth of the foreign
country, because, instead of buying
manufactured goods abroad and
exporting grain and other raw ma-
terial in payment, we are now mak.
ing increasingly large proportions
of the produce ot the soil. Still
our total foreign trade grew from
$131,000,000 in 1868 to $204,000,-
000 in 188e.
In 1868 there were 3,538 post
offices in Canada. In 1888 the
number was 9.838. The letters
carried increased from 18,000,000
to g`L,000,000 ; the revenue from
$1,024,000 to 3,321,000 ; the miles
of post route from 27,674 to 56,835;
the annual mail travel ro,600,000
to 25,700,000.
The railway mileage has increas-
ed
O 0
from 3,00to13,000.
And so the comparisons might
be carried on along the whole line,
and the result would be a demon-
stration that Canada has, since
confederation, made progress equal
to that of any other country in the
world. The satisfactory thing is
that our days of struggle are almost
passed. The tide of emigration
now flows to our shores of its own
volition ; the continent is spanned
by the grandest railway on earth,
and an unbroken belt of settlement
stretches from ocean to ocean -a
belt which grows wider and strong•
er each year, until the country be-
yond the Saskatchewan will cease
to he looked upon as outside the
region of settlement.
Between three and four o'clock Friday
morning a fire broke out in Aird's livery
stable, on Dalhousie street, Brantford.
The building was completely destroyed,
together with contents, which consisted
of bu ies a hack, five cutters and eight
ge ,
sets. of harness. ' T. O'Neil, flour and
feed merchant, who rented part of the
stable, had a horse .burned, also light
wagon, sleigh, cutter and two setts of
harness. Cause unknown.
THE POLICY, "BETTER RE -1 solve, They are barbarians and
1stritlxa- -.Ewa
.
LATIONS." do not care about returning good
for evil. Canada is in the Chinese
Mr. Wiman occupies a unique
position. He is the apostle. so to
speak, et what he himself, styles
the policy of "Better Relations,"
meaning thereby the substitution
of reciprocity in trade between
Canada and the United States for
the existing mutually exclusive
systems of tariffs. Re finds ground
for hope in the fact that the Liberal
party, pledged to reciprocity as its
chief plank, has been confirmed iu
the government of nearly alt the
provinces. This he regards as
proof that the people are not in
sympathy with the party led by
Sir John Macdonald, Further-
more. he is sanguine enough to be
lieve that In the coming Dominion
elections there will be a verdict
favorable to " Better Relations,"
It is possible, however, that Mr,
Wirnen may be too sanguine,
Muh the same sort of prophecy
was indulged in when on the last
occasion the Liberal party was
successful in the provinces only to
meet With decisive defect In the
Dominion a few months afterwards.
History may repeat itself again, for
there are many men in Canada who
have a way of dissociating their
provincial- p.
from their federal politics
as different issues and different sets
of men are recommended to their
confidence. A bold, independent,
distinctively Canadian pellcy has
always commanded the respect of
our people, who dislike nothing
uzatare than to have their country* re-
garded as a mere " dean to " of the
United States. The policy now
termed " Better Relations" threat
ens a commercial revolution, the
effect of which on Cauadian busi-
ness i'lvestunents and property
values must, to use a moderate ex-
pression, be disturbing. Canadians
will, therefore, hesitate before they
return to a state of affairs a ]Bell ex-
perieltce suggests might be similar
til that which existed previous to
xS,q. The development of this
confederation during those eleven
years has been marvellous. Cana-
dian bnclibone has matured. Our
people looking to the south and
observing the influences that dom-
inate the political and social lite
of the neighbors feel that, granting
that there may be material advan-
tages to be gained by closer rela.
tions, there are disadvantages not
less conspicious. To prefer Otta-
wa to Washington under the cir-
cumstances is both patriotic and
prudent. There can be no real de-
sire in the hearts of our people to
return to the days ot closed -up in-
dustry. What has Canada to gain
by abolishing the Customs House
on the frontier ? Would it not he
simply to extend the American sys
tem of "trusts" and "combines"
over the territory of the Dominion?
When we see the interests of the
New England States and the North-
western States coldly sacrificed by
the politicians at Washington to
the dominant influences of other
sections, how could we expect that.
our interests would be considered ?
And how are we to be sure that,
after we had sacrificed our commer-
cial independence, the treaty would
not be repudiated, as every treaty
of the kind has been repudiated by
the United States when it suited
them.
exclusion business also, and will no
doubt have the same treatment
meted out to her sons and daughters
who wander Chinawards, There
is reason to fear that unless a
modus vivendi is speedily reached
the prosperous American mission
in China will get a blow from which
they will not soon recover.
The Huron Expositor in its last
issue advocates the appointment of
Mr. Gibson to the vacant portfolio
of Minister of Agriculture, basing
its recommendation on the ground
that Mr. Gibson is a practical farm-
er, and an actively engaged farmer
at that ; and also that ab. the .last
election he was returned to the
Legislature for the sixth con-
secutive term. It is a 'mystery to
us and no doubt to the electors ot
South Huron, vvhy the Expositor
so 'wholly ignores the elevate, on
this partfolto, of the member for
South Huron ---'A.. Bishop Esq.
Is not the member for the South
Riding *practical farmer, and as
Wily capable in every respect to fill
the vacancy as is the member for
East Huron ? By the ardeut as-
sistance of the Expositor our mem-
ber has been returned to the Legis.
lature for as many consecutive
years as has 11r, Gibson, and why
are his claims lett dormant ?
His municipal and parhamentary
knowledge is as great as that of the
Expositor's candidate; and he has
surely voted as often and as straight
for Mr, Alowat as has 11Ir. Gibs u.
It bears a had face to see the Ex.
pesiter presenting the claims of an
outsider, since no earlier than the
3oth of May last the editor of our
einem, at Ilensall, most earnestly
extolled the superior qualificatious
and virtues of the then candidate
for South Huron. One would have
imagined that lir. Bishop had no
superior in the province, not even
the Mu. Oliver Mowat; and just
why he should be ignored in this
connection and an almost unknown
individual recommended for the
office, surpasses our imagination.
Will the Expositor explain ?

A correspondent, writing from
Eastern Michigan, says i—The de-
pression among farmers acorns to
continue. Low prices for butter
and wool, and continued wet
weather damaging the crops in
many places, has discouraged not a
few. There is considerable low
land that has been sown with millet
and buckwheat. Corn planting
was later than usual this year, and
potatoes, except on sandy ground,
are not very promising. The wheat
crop is looking up a little. Much
of the clover was injured by the
frosts of last winter, but timothy,•
where it is not too wet, is heavy.
