A friend came to see me, and told me of your remedy, Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. / got a bottle of it, and after I had taken it I could see a great change for the better, so 1 got another, and when I had taken the two bottles my cough was -all gone, and I have never had an attack of it since, and that is now a year ago." -Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is put up in a yellow wrappert three pine trees the trade mark; and pnce, 2e and 50e.

The feet- remains thee to, the extent of five per cent. it VIII be !more 'difficult to de business .with Great Britain after this proposed legislation becomes law than # was -befere. Let me :put it this wee s to the minister. Great Britain is geeing les $150,000,000e the interest on which et four and a half per cent. Is $6,600,900. We import frcen: the mother- land about $138,000,000 worth of .goods yearly, the duties on vvhich at ;five per centwould amount to $6.650;000.

There was a time', when it would have been .potesible to treat en free trade !lase with the Un- ited Stites. I refel• to the time �f the tern ination of the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854, and that. termination, I believe, was brought about in 1866. The people of Canada, both Conservative§ and Lib- erals, asked for a renewal of that treatyet was of advantage to Canada at that tizne-we had no other markets. But we were turned "doore by the Un- ited -States. As a result the fathers of Cor.federatiozi met and 'in 18670 they laid the foundation upon which tobuild a great :nation -here in Canada. In ac- cordance. with the principlee adopted at •that Confederation " we have built our transportation lines east and. west and are developing trade along those lines. Are you going to enter upon a potlicy that would ruin the transporta- tion lines of this, country, disorganize trade and. make us again subservient to tee United States, the very 'arty that turned us down when we wanted a ;favour? I say no. I say tile people of panada will never eubmit to such a policy, and any party that, goes.to the people rnaleing any such • demand, 01 • them ;will be rejected at the very first opportunity i - conelusion, it is to me a pleasere Illeleed to have the opportunity a teerv- big under the le.adeeshipe of Rt ROIL Sir Robert Laird Bordenie is a man of whom thie country feels proud; he La a bread -minded mere and .a worthy successer of that great chieftain, Sir Jain A. McDonald, who elite loved, thia country that lie eald; `tAl Beitiell eub- jet I Was born and ae British sub- ject I !will die." C ITALY The Kingdom of Italy is computed at 01,277, :square miles. Its population of 20;800,000 in 1871 increased to S2,50%- 000 in 1901e and in 1912 was about 35,- 000,000. Italy- is lone one ofthe most densely populated countries, having 313 people to the square mile, and, In. spite of the large emigration, her population Is rapidly growing. The excess of births over deaths was 11.14 in 1-902. : The occupation of the people is given as follows : Agriculture, including hunt- ing and fishing, 9,666;476; 'Industrial, 4,505,736; Commerce and transport 1,- 003,818 8, Domestic service, 57035E; Pro- fessions, administration, etc, 1,304,347; Other callings 333,005 ' • The poverty of Italy is _due, not so much to the Italians, as to the lack of those natural resources that forra the basis of a.gricultural and industrial prosperity., A very' large portion of her territory is mountainous, stony, and arid, and, therefore unsuitable for ag- riculture. •Only One-thIrd ,oT the soil Is table to produce food for man- or beast, whereas approximately two- thirds of the territory possessed by Germany, France, the Nethertande, Bel- gium, Denmark and Austria are devot- ed to agriculture, and the remaining third of those countries is covered with forest Italy hale .scarcely any forest, While 14 .pait,ednt. of the area is ate - sed as forest much of it fere/ally brush wood, used (for' fuel and the manufac- ture off charcoal, coal being little used except for manufacturing 'purposes. Clo the plains and lowlancLs there le a large percentage of swamps, and mal- aria, although. decreasing,' Is a serious impediment to agricultural pursuits. In recent years considerable areas of wet lands have been drained through Gov- ernment help, and thereby the breeding grounds of niosquitoes have been re- duced. The effect is that the health of the peciPle is greatly safeguarded and land a,valIable for production much ex- tended. The Campagna is being redeem- ed: after a thousand years of noxious existence. 'hile agricultural Italy Is handicap- ped .by (lack of soil, and of rain- and drinking water, industrial Italy is stili moresertously hampered by a scarcity 'of coal aria iron. She produces less coal per year than both Great Britain and Germa.ny produce in a single day, While her production. ,of iron are is negligible in quantity. In fact ;Italy has no valu- able mineral resources except sulphur. Bet industrial development is further hampered by the total absence of navig- able rivers, and by the mountainous na- ture of the country. which makes cheap transportation by rail impossible. Agriculture" laborers constitute one third of the 'emulation of 'Italy. Their ldt is for the' most pare a hard. one, and in .some regions abselutely. infser- able. In view of the fact, and ebrisider- Int the density .and refold increase In population, and lack of natural resour- des, it Is not to be wondered at that mfilions of Italians, drawn chiefly from thte agricultural classes,should seek a living in zforeign countries. It is, note- worthy, however, that the majority of tbose who emigrate return to the eciunt try cif their birth. The Italian emig- rants have been of the greatest service to Italy. They have benefited the count in two ways First, their remittances ef foreign gold have enriched the coun- try tto (the -extent of fully $100,000,0e0 per year, making money cheap and plen- tiful, to ,the 'advantage of trade, com- merce and industry. $econd, the emi- grants who have returned from abroad have introduced modern methods of trade and agriculture, and they have infused into the country a new spirit of hope, energy, ambition and progress. It may /he said, that those returning from America in particular are modern- izing the country. Itelian thrift is -frequently mistaken for ,poverty by casual visitors to the country In Italy, town -workers and country -workers alike accumulate sav- ,ings with the greatest energy. In 1912, the amount on 'deposit in institutions for popular savings was about $1,400,- 000,000, or forty dollars per head of the population. This is the more remarkable when the fact is borne in mind that :farms and houses are the favorite in- vestments of Italians of small means. Financially, Italy is now in a far bet- ter position than she has ever been. The rapid increase in her wealth is indic- ated by the greatly improved position of the Italian banks, and by the eratek- ed improvement in Italy's national cre- dit. • * AGRICULTURE Since the time, some fifty itears ago, When Italy became united, Italian agri- culture has made rapid progress.'Thie is practically true of the last few de- cades. Wheat is the most important and most widely grown of the cereals. The total production of. wheat in 1912 was 160,000,000 bushels, the average yield being only. 14 bushels ptr acre. In the same year 92,000,000 bushels .of corn were grown, Nexi itt importance come rye, barley, oats and rice. The vine ie cultivated throughout the length and bratdth of the.country. Tne area in vineyard has enormously increase ed, being about 16,000,009 acres or 14 per cent. of the woe atea. The average yearly production of wine during 1901- 93 was not tear •short of a thousand million gallons, rather more than half of wbich is consumed in the country The quantity of Italian wine is never good encugh to compete with the best wines of other .countries. • After cereal e and vineyards, the next • Most important cultivation is the olive. In 1906 the production of olive oil was 75,000,000 gallons. . Sugar beets- are extensively grown to supply sugar factories. These factories Increased from in •output of 5,972 tons • in 1898, to an output of 325,000 tons in 1913. Hemp," flax and cotton are ,grown to some extent, and tobacco ShOWS a large Increase of recent years. Sicily Is the -centre for orange and lemon production, but these fruits are grown also. hi the mainland of Southern ItalyAlmonds and walnuts are widely cultivated, while the extensive cheenut . forests on the Mountain slopes are of great value both for wood. and fruit.

COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY. Up to a comparatively recent time, Italy was almost exclusively an agricul- tural state, but of late years her manu- facturing industries hare greatly ex- panded, This this been based largely on the development of eleOtrical- power derived. from the waterfalls.
