But the union thus zteedesamated was not merely one on eaelese. The late Premier, with that seesethetic wisdom and foresight fox -4s. he was distinguished, conceived eleeneble idea for binding' the provin eze.emere closely together by a trans- emeeneettal line of railway, reaching :ameeeau TO ocean; and the result o rieseel'exeulean task has more than rea Melio..he highest hopes of its projectors .atwy. year has proved more clearly elliarerfedom of that undertaking; and "M$13V.6:ar MOW boast of a noble heritage itrfillexiitable possibilities of which we wag:. be justly proud, comprising with ieleitseNnoits all the materials of future ,areeeeelel• and properity.

INTER -CONTINENTAL fl'RA.DE. The trade question as between, the Dominion of Canada and the United States has been an all absorbing ques- tion oa both sides of the international boundary line, For some time past, certain Canadian journals of the Opp°. sition stripe haye labored hard to make it appear that the McKinley tariff has operated injuriously against our farm ers, and therefore that the government should change its policy and throw op en to the Americans our markets to be slaughtered by the competition of s ixty million people. The contention on the paet of some of our wise acre politicians has been that Canadian pro- ducers were compelled to pay the dut- ies imposed by- Congress, for the sake of securing a market for their prod- ucts. Now, then are two sides to ev•• ery story; and one may appear very reasonable until the contrary side is told. It so happens that our pro -Amer- ican journals have borrowed their am- munition in political warfare from the loud -mouthed reports of the Republi- can party, just on the eve of a Presi dential election. It suits our Grit poli- ticians to flaunt before the public the high fatutin arguments of such men as Secretary Blaine,andSenator Morrill of Vermont, whose aim is to show that the McKinley tariff had not advanced the cost of living to American consum- ers -inasmuch forsooth, as tbat we poor Canadians had to bear the burden of duties on Canadian exports to the United States. But ancli alterant partent-let us hear the other side of the story. The Democrats have some- thing to say on this subject. In, the matter of Canadian barley, which is so much superior to American grown bar ley for malting and brewing purposes, there has been owing to the McKinley tariff a great decrease of export in that article from this country; the result of which is that a vigorous protest has lately been made to Congress. by Ame- lean boards of trade in Buffalo,Oswego, and other United States centres, de- manding that the duty be lowered from 30 to 10 per cent. Listen, how. ever, to a report submitted to the Sen- ate by Senator McPherson, of New Jer- sey, on "Canadian relations." Accord ing to the Chicago Herald, Senator McPherson is made to say that, so far froxn Canadians bearing the burden of duties; imposed by the McKinley tariff, we to the North have ceased to buy many articles to the disadvantage of American producers -that both count- ries have found a "foreign market" for their productions, which knocks in the head the theory that our natural mar- ket is "the continent to which we be- long." Furthermore, it is said with justice by Senator McPherson that the American people cannot do without many of our Canadian products, and that this abnormal demaud by the United States results in them haying to pay the duty themselves for the sake of obtaining a supply. In 1390, for ex- ample, as the Senator shows, the article of Canadian butter imported into the United States reached not quite 65,000 pounds; whereas in the following year, 1891, despite the increased duty -under thc McKinley tariff, they imported into that country 351,391 lbs of Canadian butter. And if it be still contended that our farmers had te bear the burd- of duty, Senator McPherson says that he received from the largest dealers in New York of Canadian butter the fol' lowing reply: "In respect to our trade. with the Dominion of Canada in the article of butter, we beg to say that in the year 1891 we purchased largely in Canada and the prices ranged from 15 to 22 cents per pound, the latter being for extra, creamery, and that in all eases tee ,pala the duty, and charged it eogether with costa and profits upon 'travellers here!" sertenseatratil B0d0111r A large yield of wild Strawberries is reported to be found in our neigh- borbood.--During the past week Mr, John Carrick has been 111 with a severe attack of inflammation.

N.A.U.C. rules Usually 'govern atheletic con- tests. Surely Mr. Harrison does not intend to formulate a set of rules to suit his case, If so, his assurance is sublime, almost as sub!ime as his chal- lenge, "to any man in America." He need ge no further than Middlesex, in Canada, and in that county no further than the flourishing town of Parkhill, to meet several men, among whom are ourselves If Mr. Harrison will only post a forfeit and agree on some recog- nised standard rules for heavyweight contests, we will immediately cover the forfeits for stakes to any amount, eith- er one of us.
