the contiiigent. It is a specially pie -
pared condensed food: Mr Monk made
at first a somewhat Vague and indefin-
ite Charge, that the Goverinncint had
been imposed Upon .by the contractor,
substituting something else fee what
was originally ordered; but he after.
wards.pat his charges in specific force
and demanded a committee of investi-
gation. The matter gave Hee to severel
very heated discussions, wherin mem-
bers lost, theiriemper, and the House
lost its dignity. The of.
pressed its entire willingness to allow
the, very fulleet investigation, but
:strongly objected to •the members of
the Opposition asserting guilt and

position, in eff..ct, was that the Minis-

pop -misname INFORMATION.
When the oidiratty reader notices in
the report of parliarnentarY proceed-
ings that some member has moyed for
•
the papers and correspondence in any
particular matter, he doubtless thinks,
if he gives the affair any thought, that
it involves na extra work in brbaging
down thee papers. But if they were
to see the pile of type -written sheets
that constitute the ansayers to many ist
these inquiries, tbey would soon con -
chide that the clerk or clerks who had
to pripare them had a somewhat dial•
milt and laborious task. Standing on
the desk Of Nicholas Elliott Davin the
Other day. brought down in answer to

that is really of no value to the public,
but which coats a large amount to pre-
pare, atid that illustration will apply to
a number of similar cases, where mem-
bers of the Opposition, in. search after
political capital, call for documents
that they imagine are .going to supply
them With campaign thunder, but
which the average ratepayer does not

ale. "put their foot -in -it" to bring up
a "timber -limit" matter.' Mr Davin al-

regulations provided for. But the dis-
cussion brought out the fact that the
late Conservative government granted

e had paid $100 peit iloare mire for it,
out any competition vvhatever, and Mr
Devin was one of those Who secured a
limit for which . he never paid a cent.

Trade Development.
••••••••
The vvonderful and unusual develop-
ment of trade under tbe Liberal Ad-
- ministration is a, matter for congratu-
lation. Great as Was the progress of
teade last - year, it shows remarkable
strides this year. The total foreign
$328,596,470, an increase of $40,809,304
over the saute period of 1800. It is
scarcely known to the ordinary reader
how renaarka,ble has been the growth
in Canadian trade withiu the last three
or four years. The total of e828,500, i76
for the last eleven months is greater by
$114.081,748 than the trade for the 12
Months of the year 1800, just one decade
ago. It is gteatet by $103,003,060 thau
the total toreigo trade of the year 1800,
and, if a comparison be allowable, with
the twelve menthe of UK the feet ot
improvement of no less then $91,095.14.
Our imports, which ampulla. to $1131,-
801,106for the 11 months, have thriven
in the last year to ' the extent of $20,.
532.380. Our exports in the same per -
Ind have Advanced to $158,705,280, as
against $10,777,014 the previous year.
Taking the foregoing figures as the
basis of this year's operations for 12
months, the trade %yin probablyanaolint
to W50,000,000, which wonki nutite
