CANADA A FA VORED COUNTRY.
Facts are stubborn things for oppos-
ing,•factions, From 1878 u.p to the
present time, the middle of 1893, the
continuous bewailing cry and crocodile
,tears of the reform party about "poor
Canada" has availed fur nothing. Can-
, ado is prosperous and continues to
prosper despite the partisan and mise
leading utterances of a disloyal Sir
Richard Cartwright., a French Laurier,
and a party willing to dos;roy forever
the destined happy and great future of
the British Canadian nation. And
1893 is likely to sde an abundant har-
vest with a good prospect of beiter
prices for many of the products of the,
farm.
Twelve months ago or lees, when the
trade returns for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1892, were issued, it was seen
that the value of the exports was nearly
114 millions, by far the best record
of exports that/Canada had had , The
jump as compared with the year pre-
vious was certainly extraordinary,
amounting to fifteen millioneand a half.
This increase was of such an abnormal
character that some officers of the Gov-
ernment were inclined to think that
the past year ,night show a falling off
in the exports, It is satisfactory to
know, however, that such is not • the
case, the returns made up by the ccs -
toms department last Friday eviden-
cing that last year's grand figures have
been exceeded by one million and a
quarter. Tcl enable those interested to
. grasp more readily the exact position
of affairs, the figures of exports for the
Last five years are herewith given.

In regal' to the imports a different
story has to be told. The fiscal year
ending Juno 30, 1892, shows a large
increase under this heading amounting
in all to about $7;500,000, during the
past year the figures approximate to
those of 1891 and 1892. The follow-
ing table of imports covers the quin-

being $21,161,872, as against $20,550,-

amounted to $23,481,069, the falling
off in the two subsequent years being
the outcome of the abolition of the
auger duties.
THE CONTINENT TO WHICH,

Another ruthless blow has been struck
at the Continent to which we belong,
says the Empire. The new attadkoomes
not from Canada, but from the very sixty
million market itself.
Not long ago our jteform friends

are political economists and politicians
who affect to believe that the United
States can get along well enough. alone,
and can flourish without' business rela-
tiena•to any great extent with the old
world. ' But the old and new
world are bound together by commercial
and financial ties, the sundering of which
is not an agreeable opperation for
either,"
Here is a bold proposition laid down,
which is enough to make the most con,
firmed continental unityist shiver in his
shoes, because it cannot be disposed of
as a mere 'Tory inveutton, but emanates
from a non Canadian source altogether.
But the ,Boston paper continues in a
still more . alarming strain : "'eVhat,"
it says,"is this country largely depend'
ing on at this time as an expedient
which will bring back a large measure of
prosperity to the United States? Why,
simply that European necessities will
create a large demand for Maples the
United States can easily supply. The
commercial heart beats across the At-
lantic are heard all over our biped land.
The ocean has changed from being a dis-
integrator to a unifier. The laws of the
universe have decreed that Europe and
America cannot be dissevered from each
other. Selling American securities in
London produces a shrinkage in stocks,
and more or less loss throughout our
country. The old lady of Threadneedle
street cannot be reduced in circum'
stances unless the pinch causes curtails
meats and liquidation around the
globe."
Why, this is nothing less than the
British : tnarket theory which we have
been trq.ing to 'drum into our Grit
friends these five years back. The
Globe used to try and kill enthusiasm
by referring to "the cold charity' of the
"British market," when it was pointed
out in these columns that the farmera'of
the United States looked to the same
place ase market for their surplus as do
the farmers of Canada.
Call Unrestricted Reciprocity by any
name you please; dub it limited Reci-
procity or any other fancy title, and the
fact remains that the whole scheme is
tumbling into ruins.
C.I:Y✓1DA'S "0001) TIMES."
No less than 198 banking institutes
have during the last six months failed,
gone into liquidation, or ceased to do
business in the United States. Come
menting on this fact, and the general
pressure of hard times in the United
States, "Aide and Leather," a Chicago
newspaper devoted to the tanning in•
terest, makes the following observation:
"In connection with this, it sounds
somewhat odd that our friends in Cane
ada are enjoying good times, and can
borrow all the money they want at six
per cent."
This statement, comments the Berlin
Record, ought to afford our pessimistic
friends some food for reflection. If
those croaking Canadian papers that
are continually shouting ''hard times"
were to familiarize themselves with the
condition of things in the U. 8. they
would no doubt soon become reconciled
to their own cbuntry,whioh affords them
a substantial living. They might, in
this connection, also remember that for
many years not one depositor has lost a
single cent of money, through the fail-
ure of a Canadian bank, and that we
have ample cause to feel justly proud
of the care with which the interests of
the public is guarded in ourDominion.

Mr. Wallace, Controller of Customs,
had before him Thursday the caae of a

which is put up in the same bottles as
ordinary ale, and is said to be a very
close imitation of that article, only it is
guaranteed non-alcoholic. It is called
"Hop Bitter Ale," and is made from
hops and clue sugar without malt.
The analysis furnished by the manu-
facturers gives it alcoholic strength at
sixty-seven one hundredths of one per
cent., which is so very small that the
Contruller decided that its was not
dutiable as a e or beer, but should be
allowed to enter under section 547 of

The Stratford Herald independently
remarks:—We cordially congratulate
our Orange friends upon the success of
last week's gathering with which this
city was honored. The general success
of the event is an evidence that
Orangeism is alive and active in this
country, notwithstanding the sneers
,which it is fashionable among some of
their felllow Protestants to direct against
it. Oraageiem illustrates and come
memoratee one of the groat epochs of
English history and of individual
liberty. The struggle in behalf of
James II. was the last organized at
teinpt on a Large scale to throttle the
liberties and consciences of English..
men, and it failed signally. King
William of Orange deserved well of
the people whom he 'saved from op•
pression and deserves honor at the
hands of their descendants. Inasmuch
as Orangeism is not an aggressive body,
but one formed solely for the defence
of our liberties, no liberty -loving sub-
ject need take umbrage at its existence.
It threatens no one and contemplates
evil to no one. Let us wish well to
the order, and add the hope that at no
peroid in Canadian history will the
state of civil and religious liberty e ver
require the intervention of the Orange
or any other society in its defence.

in progress near Niagara Falls, the
remains were found of soldiers of the
1st Royal Soots, who fell in the deadly
struggle which took placet Lundy's
Lae, on the ever-to-be-remenilbered 25th
day, , of July, 1814. In that
sanguinary contest, and, one of
the most determined hand -to hand
bettlea ever fought, the early settlers,
the then of York and,Lincoln, .aided
by detncbments from the 19th Dra-
goons, Royal Artillery, Royal Marino

(Tuee.iay). The,Army and Navy band
aceempauied the veterans and played

and who revere and honor the memory
of those who fought and died for Can-

freedom conquered and Britennia'e flag

will do triumphantly. There was a
large attendance and the ceremony very
impressive.
THE SIAMESE WAR CLOUD.
Colonel S. 11. Boyd, Minister Resident and
Consul -General of the United States to Siam,
has been:at hie home in Spriou6eld, Mo., for
several mnathe on account of ill -health.
Minister Boyd was seen at his tesidenoe
Friday and asked for an opinnion in regard
to the difficulty between Siam and France.
The Miuitter talked very freely, and sei9 his
sympathy was entirely on the side of Slane
"It is a war of conquest," said Col. Boyd,
with some warmth. "A long time ago Siam
once included Cambodia. By a shrewd
diplomatic intrigue on the pert of France
she obtained possession of that pro.ioce
through the Gnvernor, France anon found
that its cewly acquired territoy really
amounted to nothing for commercial pur-
poeee, being disconnected from the Mekong
valley.
"For a year the French have been en-
d.nvorinct to get possession of the left hank
of the 31eliong river, which ie very rich and
fertile, exteudiuu into Lower China, the
forest wealth of this section being of greater
value than any other f.,rest in the O:lent.
Tho French have no more right to take that
country than they have to suhjegete Sprirg•
field or St. Leuis."
•'R'ill Euglan l not tyke a hand, and if s',
why is ehe so indifferent at present?"
"England and France are silent partnere.
the policy of France tud England in the
past and at present is to make conquests of
all the :weak powers in the east. It will
not be long until the world will see the true
situation.
"I know the king of Siam to be a sensible
man, and he is fully aware of the fact that he
is powerless without aid from other sources,
and he will not get it from England. He
will be forced into a humiliating treaty,
and give France the country it claims end
whatever else France may demand. The
war is over. The King has realized his
helpless couditiun just the same as anyone
else does."
