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 -

dOubt but that the rec.ent emigration

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

in a report containing general de.

ia, wrotes as fellows: -"In the course
of this report my mind has boon strong

ing a constant lutercourse and mutual
interest, a groat country may yet be

it imly be found proper to establish a

tection. As nothingcan save these re.
mains (meaning all that remains to

eminent, so employing an able man to

most probable if not the only means of

there for the good of the whole to some

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

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.

_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.
