MEASURED IN VALUES NOT IN
VOLUMES.
Now I want to call the attention of. my
hun., i6end the Minister of Finance to
andther Point. When he is talloing of the
trade of 1890 being so much greater than
-the 4de of 1895, has he never realized
-the fact that he is I ing about values
'01 trade and not To
v.Turn. of trade?
tiakea rough illustration, suppose that in
2805. there was exported from this country
2%000,000 bushels of wheat at $1 EL bushel,
thitit.-would swell our exports by 20,000,000.
14.0ppose that in 1889 we exporrel an equal,
A)iddrmt, 20,000,000 bushels, but only at 6
41iiation of 50 cents per bushel, our export
trade would then ellow $10,000,000 less on
prietly the same amount -of 3we4t and la -
'on
lbdur.and toil represented in the produati
-6f� wheat in the country. The difference in
�:vklfte must be taken into account as' -well
aiihe diflerenge in volume. I am not stat-
in$;that that was the difference in value
betweeft 1895 and 1899. but simply use it
for tbe, purpose of illustration.
-I am going on to make two more state,
monts. As everyfinancier knows, there is
klX tjip in the old country and in the Uni.
I'd - States, and to a certain extent in this
Conan what is known as a barometer of
i,-,Cmates roin year to year. There is . none
tter On this continent than that kept by
Bradstreet. Bradstreet's index of prices
is,known and relied upon all over this con-.
tineftt;2 For the last fifty years they.have
-takeft. the prices of some go or 100 Staple
articles, arranted their aystera in a series
of -index num ers, which show the differ.
-ence in prices frorn�year to year. If you
/will go to October, 1990, you -will find that
�t�e index number is 105,996. 1 am not go -
1 ing to take up time explaining the tealini-
cal. Construction of this system, but will
therely give the figures, ana any hon. gen-
t4eman who wishes to look into it will very
soon find out the basis on -which the thini
is worked. In October, 1890, the index
p4ce number was 105,990. In 1895 it had
gone down t6 71,672. What does that
inean? It means that the average Value of
articles in October 1890, taking all classes
and kinds, was 47 per cent higher than in
1895. If' any one attempts to show, by
VI "I takin , the values in the ra e an
.1gation sterns. that the purchasing,
uci I the exporting and buyl g Cape
ilities this country are so uc less in
11805 th in .1 90, he will et no adequate
idea of e ere e. e as to take the
n
rd 01
an
th
comparative vaJue; and if he Wants to
find out what the trade of 1895 was as
compared with the trade of 1890, he has to
compare the levels of value in each and the
difference between the two levels, as shown
by Bradstreet's index, is 47 per cent. Sup.
pDod we work that out. Taking the actual
exports and imports in 1895, their valuation
in Canada was $203,504,332. We no* want
th find what the value of that 1895 trade
Vould have been according to the prices of
October 1890 We add 47 per cent, which
is $95,6415,000,'and 'you have $299 15D 000
What- qvpuld have been the va�e 'of 'tre
ttdde of'1805, had pricois kep
the level at
thined i� 04ober, 1890, Hon. gentlemen
see the point. Some one says: Your trade
is'dinainishing because the books in 1895
show less value than in 1890. 1 answer
him in the light of this index, by saying:
No,' the activity, the production, the ei-
poftipg and the buKing volume of this court -
try, is actually big er in 1895, measured by
its troop, t.,han in 1890, and you get at
Tme prices or the duterent years inte
"unt and bringing them to the samo:
ft each catie.
ell Suppose we aprly that rule to 1895,
I
than compare wi h' 1899, In 1899 the p
were 17 per cent higher according to
index than in -1805. so that if you Wi
make a fair compdriFton you would

Six, -ain. It is a gain which.
any, government and any country may 'well

6urselves, and ' We do not advance the real

MEASURED IN VALUES NOT IN
VOLUMES.
Now I want to call the attention of. my
hun., i6end the Minister of Finance to
andther Point. When he is talloing of the
trade of 1890 being so much greater than
-the 4de of 1895, has he never realized
-the fact that he is I ing about values
'01 trade and not To
v.Turn. of trade?
tiakea rough illustration, suppose that in
2805. there was exported from this country
2%000,000 bushels of wheat at $1 EL bushel,
thitit.-would swell our exports by 20,000,000.
14.0ppose that in 1889 we exporrel an equal,
A)iddrmt, 20,000,000 bushels, but only at 6
41iiation of 50 cents per bushel, our export
trade would then ellow $10,000,000 less on
prietly the same amount -of 3we4t and la -
'on
lbdur.and toil represented in the produati
-6f� wheat in the country. The difference in
�:vklfte must be taken into account as' -well
aiihe diflerenge in volume. I am not stat-
in$;that that was the difference in value
betweeft 1895 and 1899. but simply use it
for tbe, purpose of illustration.
-I am going on to make two more state,
monts. As everyfinancier knows, there is
klX tjip in the old country and in the Uni.
I'd - States, and to a certain extent in this
Conan what is known as a barometer of
i,-,Cmates roin year to year. There is . none
tter On this continent than that kept by
Bradstreet. Bradstreet's index of prices
is,known and relied upon all over this con-.
tineftt;2 For the last fifty years they.have
-takeft. the prices of some go or 100 Staple
articles, arranted their aystera in a series
of -index num ers, which show the differ.
-ence in prices frorn�year to year. If you
/will go to October, 1990, you -will find that
�t�e index number is 105,996. 1 am not go -
1 ing to take up time explaining the tealini-
cal. Construction of this system, but will
therely give the figures, ana any hon. gen-
t4eman who wishes to look into it will very
soon find out the basis on -which the thini
is worked. In October, 1890, the index
p4ce number was 105,990. In 1895 it had
gone down t6 71,672. What does that
inean? It means that the average Value of
articles in October 1890, taking all classes
and kinds, was 47 per cent higher than in
1895. If' any one attempts to show, by
VI "I takin , the values in the ra e an
.1gation sterns. that the purchasing,
uci I the exporting and buyl g Cape
ilities this country are so uc less in
11805 th in .1 90, he will et no adequate
idea of e ere e. e as to take the
n
rd 01
an
th
comparative vaJue; and if he Wants to
find out what the trade of 1895 was as
compared with the trade of 1890, he has to
compare the levels of value in each and the
difference between the two levels, as shown
by Bradstreet's index, is 47 per cent. Sup.
pDod we work that out. Taking the actual
exports and imports in 1895, their valuation
in Canada was $203,504,332. We no* want
th find what the value of that 1895 trade
Vould have been according to the prices of
October 1890 We add 47 per cent, which
is $95,6415,000,'and 'you have $299 15D 000
What- qvpuld have been the va�e 'of 'tre
ttdde of'1805, had pricois kep
the level at
thined i� 04ober, 1890, Hon. gentlemen
see the point. Some one says: Your trade
is'dinainishing because the books in 1895
show less value than in 1890. 1 answer
him in the light of this index, by saying:
No,' the activity, the production, the ei-
poftipg and the buKing volume of this court -
try, is actually big er in 1895, measured by
its troop, t.,han in 1890, and you get at
Tme prices or the duterent years inte
"unt and bringing them to the samo:
ft each catie.
ell Suppose we aprly that rule to 1895,
I
than compare wi h' 1899, In 1899 the p
were 17 per cent higher according to
index than in -1805. so that if you Wi
make a fair compdriFton you would
to add 17 per cent to the trade flguro�
1895, which would give an addition of
