Yalu ble as theme figures axe, they afford on Iy falut approximation to the yet u developed, mineral resources of Cana --awaiting the application of *pt end skilled science for their full del, epment. We have not only all t pre8leus metal, aud other minerals great economic value -gold, silver,co per, nickel, iron, phosphate, petroleum &c., -but we have an inexhaustible mount of coal in the extreme eastern end. western limits of this Dominion, so necessary for smelting purposes and the ordinary purposes of fuel and loco motive power. What has made Eng- land and Wales the great manufactur- ing power of the world, but the im- mense deposits of coal and iron found within the borders of the 'United King Awn? In Canada, we have many min_ era's of great commercial value not found. in the old country. Not to speak V our gold and silver mines, there is the recent discovery of nickel in Sud- bury, and other regions along the line V the Canada Pacific Railway-, which bids fair to rival the rich diamond mines of Golconda. Already we have heard of small fortunes 'being made by tspesulation in nickel claims -and this is but the beginning of the end. Thee wealthy companies are now actively employed in mining operations at Sud- bury, where smelting furnaces a,re go- iaig in full blast with the most encour- aging. results. Reports from other ells. tricts are equally encouraging. In the article of coal, so necessary for develop a.nd utilizingthe yield of precious metals and other useful materials, the szuntal value of coal has risen oyer four million dollars in 1886 to within a fraction of six and a half million doll- ars in 1890; and so soon as the St Lawrence ea.nals are d,eepened-an undertaking which is now engaging the attention of Government -coal can e conveyed from Nova Scotia to all parts of Ontario, in quantities suffici- eient to supply all our wants without importing from the United States., We know, too, from recent explorations made in the North West territory and 13ritish Columbia, that all the zoal needed for fuel and smelting purposes fa obtainable within the limits of our Western PrOVIDCCS. There is undoubt edly a great future in store for this Da minion, when one considers the varied astent of mineral as well as agricul- tural resources within.our reach; and with the facilities now being affored of transit by land and water, as well as Lahe inducements offe,red by govern- ment and by the C. P. Railway to in - Sending immigrants, there is little dOubt but that the rec.ent emigration I-,toom fro'n other countries will contin- 'rat to swell our population in the West and add immensely to the material wealth of Canada. n- v - as te; 9,- P- AN HISTORIC RETROSPECT. The first of July next being the ewenty fifth anniversary of the birth of the Dominion as at present constituted /I may be opportune to glance back- ward to the origin of confederation efin&to recall the names of those who Ent entertained the idea, By reference to history we Team that in 1688 Fran- Nieholson, then GoVernor of Massa- eleusetts, etrongly advocated the con- federation of the then existing British Aeseerican provinces for the purpose of d/efence. That was a century before the revolt and subsequent independ- once of the United States, bttt •-it con tains. the germ of the idea which wan oensumeneted long afterwards in the 'Anion of Canada and the maritime pro. v'inees, In 1814 Chief Justice Sewell, ox.ebec., arlare$36a a letter to the 'bate' of Kent in which he Advocated a federal unieit of'Britieh North Atnerida bet this did not become a practical reueation Until recommended in' the etiebtated report of Lord Durham in lassa. And yet even these were not the first to sUggeet euch a scheme, for ite 1873 Robert Morse, Lieut. -Colonel zd,Chic Eegiteer of rt)ttiOir Atherka under the orders and instrtietiene a iti$ Excellency, Sir Guy Carlton, General and 00111111find4r-ia-ehlef Her Majesty'e fori:es in North America, in a report containing general de. eeription of the province of NAVA Scot- ia, wrotes as fellows: -"In the course of this report my mind has boon strong ly impressed with the idea of uniting these 10\ 111005 with Cannata, to the advantage of both countries, and that by establishing. the same laws, induc- ing a constant lutercourse and mutual interest, a groat country may yet be raised no in America,tu faciliate which it imly be found proper to establish a at of general government and pro- tection. As nothingcan save these re. mains (meaning all that remains to Great Britain of nor former possessions in Caeada) but a good and wise gov- eminent, so employing an able man to preside over the is seems to be the most probable if not the only means of carrying, this project into effect. A men of integrity and ability, with a comprehensfve understanding to dis- cover the resources and interests of the several parts, and unite Arid apply there for the good of the whole to some great and useful end: These provin- ces are not only capable of supplying the wants of our West India islands but by proper encouragement, wise regulations and a good government may be made a formidable rival to the United States. It is a great country and from the description given possess es as many natural advantages as any in America, -in respect of the fisheries infinitely superior., It wants inhabe tants and these may be drawn from the American states. Persons who have not forgotten the excellence of our constitution and ,TOVernment, ho are tired of the anarchy of their own, may easily be drawn away. Nor is it altogether beyond hope that the revolt- ed provinces, having constantly before their eyes written in the most indeli. ble characters, the happinews arising from systematic government, may be disposed, after fruitless efforts of their own, to return to that connection wherein they found, and perhaps wherein only they can find true liberty and union." LORD SALISBURG'S LATEST. The present Premier of England has On different occasions giyen expression to views on Commercial affairs in Brit - am which are very different from the fiscal policy of the/est fifty years. So far back as 1884, Lord Salisbury ven- tured to assert that England had no motive by which to "prevail upon For- eign porters to lower their tariffs or op- en their marketsto British industries"; and that the present "one sided policy of free trade is unfortunate", because "it puts us in the position of not gain- ing an issue for the industry of our Otirn Community, and for the exporta_ tion of the goods we prod.uce". No wonder that "those industries languish and imployment is becoming scarcer, wages smaller, and the distress of the population greater," In two years from giving expreesion to such trade views, Lord Salisbury became Premier of England -a position Whiela /10 has fil- led with credit to himself and. advant- age to the nation. Latterly, he has followed up consistently those same views, which owing to considerations of Imperial unity and expansion of trade have Come to influence a large portion of British sentiment --more e2. pecially as that is voiced by the Lrnited Empire Trade League, It is only the other day, however, and in the near prospect of a general election in Brit. ai.ne-which bids fair to be one of the .1•111•12.1.3 1 most important ever held -that the Premier of England, has boldly taken the hull by the horns and giyen forth his pronunciamento to this effect, viz: thet the fuenre prosperity of the eount ry is bound up in the question of free trade, In a speech delivered. at East- ings, Lord Salisbury gaye forth seine very impol tant. utterances -in the eourse of which he nsed tho ,followiug language; "Fifty years ago every-bod,y believed free trade had conquered the world; and prophecied that C\ em na- tion would follow the example of, Eug- land. But despite the prophecies of free trade advocates, foreigij nations are advocating pretection and exclud• ing us from their markets. We live ku an age of war tariffs, While natioes are doing everything to obtain commercial fayor from each other, Great Britain has stripped herself of the armor and weapons with whieh the battle is to be fought.," And then the Premier makes the statement that although the Sri - tern of trade in England "may be noble,yet it is not business There' is no doubt that the rapid deorease of British teade, the crippled state of her manufactures, the increasing growth of Colonial trade and commerce, the ef- fects of McKinleyism in discriminating against British products, not -to speak . of a growing sentiment of loyalty to British institutions among the Colonies, 'have all contributed to,draw forth. the above expressions 'from England's prime minister. The recent action of Canadian Parliament has also had an important influence in shaping t policy which has for its object a closer union in sentiment and in preferential trade as between the Colonies and the Moth- erland. MIN,IMMIONIMMIRMISIBM03.1 _ANOTHER CONSERVATIVE The bye -elections have proved a reg ular stunner to the Opposition. East York is now to be added to the. roll of constituencies captured from the Grits by the force of political opinion. 'Untie last week East York was an og-thned. reserye of Liberalism, represented lets terly by the ex -Premier, the late Hon: Alex, Mackenzie -whose loyal utteran- ces of attachment to British:connection, no doubt, wont far to secure his seen. tinuance of the seat. Now, however, that the choice of a representative has been divested of all side issues, -and the electorate has to prefer between the National Polieer and U. R., alias C. V., alias A.nnescation,-the peoplesof East York have given an umrdstake- able proof of patriotisxn by returning Mr. W. P. Maclean, the Liberal -Conser- vative candidate, by the handeome ma- jority of 240 over his opponent. Thus another victory has been scored for the Government on the side 02 the National Policy and the "manifest destiny" of true Canadian and British program. GENEROSITY. The people of this town do not take very long to discover an improvement in their interest. Nearly every one has found out that the proprietors of Perry Davis' Pain Killer have just is- sued a new big bottle of that old, relia- ble medicine. This bottle contains twice the quantity- that the old bottle held, and it is to be sold at the old pop- ular 25c. price. Naturally, the users of this old, favorite medicine (and who does not use it?) are jubilant over the change, and praise its proprietors very strongly for their generous action. Have you seen the big bottle? If not be sure to call at the drug stoics for one without delay. With it in the house you have a vertiable medicine chest at hand, and all for the trifling sum of a quarter.
