When we finis, ac- cording to the published revolt, 'that the agricultural products exported Seem tlus Dominion to Great Britain alone have increased ht the last three years from a little over three and a half million dollars to considerably over fifteen millions,—not to speak of exports from the miner; fisheries, forest .and manufactures—it requires no arg umeut to prove that. Candia Is ou the high road to prosperity. Much valu- anle work has been clone by the sever able men who have held the respon- sible position of Finance Minister-, and the present incumbent of that ofUce,the Hon, G. E. Foster, has proved himself the equal of his 'worthy predecessors. "Under his superintendence, a separate department of Trade and Commerce has been organized by the Cabinet,- -whose duty has been to open up corres- pondenee with other countries for the extension of trade, and for securing to Canada the most -favored -nation treat - lament in connection with no less than twenty-three different countries under treaties :rade with them by Great nritain. And while efforts :are being made to arrange similar terms with other stations not included in those treaties,—there has resulted a large extension of trade with the Motherland with the West Indies, China, Japan sand Australia. Look, for example, at the immense traffic and trade opened up in connection with the C.P.R, line, under a grant by Parliament of $75,- 000 a year to encourage and develop ei trade between British Columbia and China and Japan—the result of which has been the inerease of a million and a quarter dollars, and which is bound to grow to much larger dimensions. On both sides of our widely extended Do- minion, on the Pacific and Atlantic .coasts, large subsidies have been voted by Parliament for establishing a regu- lar line of steamers between Vancouv- er and Australia, as well as China and Japan—and between Halifax, N.S., and both Spanish and British West Indies - "The only regret seems to be that, in the interior of the Dominion, our valu- able mines and minerals are left com- paratively undevelopod for lack of *public enterprise on the part of British and. Canadian capitalists, while Ameri- cans are allowed to come in and reap the profits. Another ground for regret is the complaint justly made that, in many departments of our steadily in_ creasing trade with other countries, - there is carelessness on the part of ship- pers in the way the export' produce is packed, such as cheese, butter, flour .&e. Great care should be observed -;by •our farmers in this respect, -if they would secure the best market at the most remunerative prices. There is a strong desire expressed by our fellow - subjects in the B. W. Indies to trade withCanada in preference to the Unit- ed States, It is for Canadians to take advantage of ,the tisk, both in the West Indies and in Great .Britain ,-in which latter country our High Commissioner has done and is doing such valuable work for this Dominion. Much as our exports in several departments , have increased within the last three or four ;years, there are certain products— such as butter, ham and bacon—which could be indefinitely extended so as to lomat the demands of the British mark- et. And now that wheat, owing to the immense crops of No. 1 grain grown in the t Host s West is no longer proving to our farmers a remunerative crop,— it behoves them to give more attention to stock -raising, and dairying, and bee .culture, and the raising of pork. In the matter of pork alone last year, it proved to be the most remunerative product the fanner had to sell. One. thing is certain,—considering the ex- tent of our population, and the compar- ative youth of the nation, Canada has eclipsed many older and larger count - lies in the cttension of our trade -the rapid development of our resources— and our financial credit m the money ,nriarkets of the world, fl• dna kcal as, tit. :nerve.

Thus .the exports to ; 1 that country from the Dominion have risen in value front $142349 in 1889 to $842,312 in 1892, while the imports frons Gernmey have increased in the same period from $3,602,570, to $5,583, 530. Cou(Iienting on' the two lynchings in Iudieee last week and the murder at Danville, in' that State, cf a promi Hent attorney, directly under the eyes of the judge in court, the Philadelphia Reeord says:— "Let us hear no more of the section, al'blather about' the work of Mobs in the south until we can pluck the bean out of the eyes of our own people, For a' years p st, north and south, there has been an increasing tendency to: crimes of violence and a corresponding over- lenience and delay in the. administra- tion of justice, Mob law is a born twin with,milk-and•water law," The Record can repeat its utterance with emphasis In view of the terrible affair at Carmine iu Michigan.

CosrLY Knnp.—London Advertiser: The large county of H"uion could shut up its jail and give the officials a pro longed' holiday but for the fact that the municipalities insist on using the structure as a place of confinement for the aged and infirm paupers. At pre- sent there are no prisoners in the 'jail. at Goderich, but it costs the taxpayers $6 a' day to pay running expenses and maintain the three paupers confined in the building. It would certainly pay the people of Huron, -as it has paid those of Middlesex, of Elgin, of Water- loo and other Ontario counties, to establish a house of industry, and the method of maintaining indigents would be far more humane than that which now prevails in the neighboring couuty.
