Ca' eron, b rrieter, of that town, o the oof the Burns' anniversary ii nion n d nner. It is indeed, an eloquent tribute to the country e live in and shows Mr. Cam- eron to be pneeessed 1 gifts of mind and utterence whioh she Id place him in the frit rank of Cenailia Orators. We have s ace only-fo the foil wing quotation : i" A poor a d verse y settled -community of proud an indole t savages has been simeeeded by a law- biding, hard-working and enterprie ng peopl , who have by almost s perhuman xertions effected a most re- arkable ch nge in the face of nature, h ve cleared and de eloped the country, .have tilled i s fields, ave bat up ite in- dustries, havq trained up its children, have utilized its noble w ter communications, have constru red a •etwork of railways Within its bonds, hay engaged in the un- fPlding of its mineral regoureen, have made marked progress in 1 terature, and 112 the arts and sciences, hav devoted themselves unceasingly a na vigori luny to the, up -build - i g of a powerful and united nation, and a ill there is much and important work to b performed -labor t at demands the phys- i al and mental efforts of the strongest and oat dauntlees of oar ace. "Ponder upon a fe , a very few, as time ill not permit of my nlarging upon this, of t4ie results iif the chievemente of past years. Less than 60 ears ago there were but 14 miles f railway in operation in this e. country. H w many are there now? You will think it Most incredible when I inform you that theie are no less than 17,500 miles ile operation, and this exclusive of eleotrie railways. Fifty year ago the industries of Canada were Confined ohiefly to homeepun. li 1891, whe1i the las census were taken, $350,000 100 were invested in manufa tures, and thei output amounted to the en rmons total of 75,000,000. In 1868, the umber of letter posted was 18,000,000, ii. 1899 there wee 150,000,000, that is, five letters per head in 1868, as against 28 per head in 1899. T e products of the forests 100 years ago was 11. In 1891 their value am anted to $80OI 1,000. The value of the forests themselv a, and they are our greaten herit- age, has ot thus far been ascertain d, but it is asse ted it will reaoh into the IlI1ione. In 1869 the fisheries of Canada lrougbts $4,000, S 1. In 1898, their value zeaohd $19,000, I0. A century ago our nfinarale yielded othing ; in 1899 they brought 481 millions. One hundred years ago t e ata of impro ed land was infinitesimal. n 18 1 there we e 281 millions of suoh &0LU. In 1800 our population was less than half a million ; to -day we have between fiv and a half and six millions of soufs. One hundred years a o the population, - of the United States w s five millions. What will ure be When th a century closes? I believs, it will at least qual the present population of the United States, 75,000,000, In 18 8 our total tra e amounted $13l,000,000; in 1900 it turne the Beale at $381;000,000, eo an in- crease of $50,000,000 in 32 years, B t why proceed -Although figures, like deeds, speak 1 uder and more eloquentl than words, t ey are tiresome, and so I ill not weary y u with any more of them, b t from the few have given you must obeer e that there i room for serious reflecti n arid abundant reason fonweinder and deli ht." e • Can dian Horses for Engla,nd.
