AlthOugh the tirade and navigation returns show a wonderful increase in the trade of the coun- try, it is daubtful if old Ontario is tnuch wealthier than she was twenty. years ago. If the increase of her share in . the national debt, also her mortgage indebtednems and the deprecation in the value of farm lands and in that of town and city property,. be 81t813 the ruin of the milling industries, was deducted from the present great prosperity, there would be little left to her credit. The dairying business is credited with being one of the direct sources of wealth to this province -indirectly it is not so. The drudgery of milking cows early and late, wet and dry, Sunday and Saturday the year round, is driving more young men and women off the farm than anything else. The result is there are hundreds and thous- ands of farmers who are better able to farm than they ever Were, but not being so able to do the work, they are forced either to rent or sell out, as help cannot be got, and if got cannot be used profitably. It is only farmere who are young and able to work and who have families whose labor Can be got for their food and clothes that can hold their' own against Manitoba competition and railway discrimination.

But streuge to nay tho law governing the carrying trade of this Dominion is • left entirely in the hands of a few railway of- fficials to do just as they please -130 wonder they exert such a wonderful influence. It is not long since the Grand Trunk found fault with being taxed too high in Stratford, although their property NVt18 not assessed at more than half its value according to the assessment of other city property. They mysteriously 'succeeded in getting a reduc- tion of $600 a year for ten years, which had to be made legal by a special act of Nadia- ment, Thin favor was granted at a time the city had inereased its liabilities by guar- anteeing the bonds of two industries for $60,000, and at the time theworthy mayor was engaged in shipping oats to New York on a lit cent rate, when they were being carried from London, the same distance, by.
