TnR Western Sta:ea have been ✓=truck
with a blizzard this Summer which has
swept nearly all before it. Not wind,
hail, rain and snow, but failure upon
failure of bauks and banking institutions.
Thousands and thousands of people have
lost ell they possessed end widespread
disappointment and disaster is the
result.
THE total exports of Canada for the
fiscal year ending Juue 30tb, 1893, are
given by the Government organs at 6115,-
187,605. The total exports in 1874, nine-
teen years ago, were 080,351,928, or
abont 25,000,000 less than at the present
time. The total imports this year seem
to have been 0121,463,617. Nineteen
years ago they were 6138,213,582. The
total trade last year was 0230,601,282,
against 0217,565,510 in 1874, or a gain of
nineteen millions in nineteen years.
THE engaging in sport for the love of
it appears to be a thing of the past and
to -day not only the promoters but coon'
petitors lend themselves to actions that
are of a very shady character. Hardly a
boot race takes plane but there is foaling;
scarcely a speeding oontest. but the horse
thab should win is pulled and so all the
way through. The chief cause for this
as far as we have observed is the heavy
betting and pool selling engaged in at
ahnost all these contests. It is said that
at the Woodbine, Toronto, young men
depending on their salary have been
known to stake hundreds of dollars on
their favorite and in more than one case
where the bet was lost their employer
paid it—bat without his knowledge or
consent. A Torontoniau stated that if
betting were prohibited at the Wood•
bine the raoes would 0000 cease, If
other species of gambling and practice
of black art are prohibited we see no
reason why guy •g0veromeut should
license it on a race course, Why do
jockeys sell races ? Why do the fastest
horses take the last plane in the race ?
All because of the betting and pout sell-
ing. If sport is to receive the coonten•
acme of fair minded people there will
have to be alopping off of all that breeds
trickery, misrepresentation and dis-
honesty. The present state of affairs is
a very bad training school for the youth
of this country.
