Our Commerce Increasing.
(Canada Gazette, Li -enlist,. England.)
Five years ago we took from Canada
only 7 per cent of our imported food;
last year we took 16 per cent, and in
the next live years the proportion will
be probably doubled. In cheese alone
we now darive:70 per cent of our iw.
ports from Canada, and we know that
the butter trade has increased Weer,

in ten years. In 1890 Canada exported

is that the exports of Canadian wheat

Mr Richardson's Case
R. L. Richardson, M. for LWOW,
has been unseated- on the ground of
bribery by agents,land the Conservat-
ive papers are devoting considerable
space and sympathy to the matter
which it seems to us is hardly justified.
Mr Riclaardsbn is -held up as a Mar-
tyr to principle, and the object of hate
and Pete by Messrs LOurierand Sifton,
Mr Richardson was elected in 'the
first place in 1: ; as a Liberal, and to
a large extent owes the euccess of his
paper, the Winnipeg Tribune,"to Lib-
eral support. After his electien he
took the roll of an Independent, and
though generally supporting the gov-
ernment, occasionally became quite
hostile to !term much so that the gov-
ernment did net look- upon him as one
of its supporter&
In the Manitoba Local Elections the
influence of the Tribune was -thrown
against Mr Greenway, and the Liberals
of the prairie province naturally telt
sore at the action of what had been
hitherto regarded at a Liberal organ,
In the election of 1000 Mr Richard-
son was twain elected by a substantial
majority, he receiving Conservative •
support, and being opposed by a, Liber-
al. A protest was entered -Mr Rich-
ardson clainni it wa.s done through
spite, by the Liberate, Be this as h.
may, he has been unseated. The judge
who heard the evidence presumably
gave gave judgment thereon.
VVedo not suppose he was influenced
by any other than judicial motives.
Now vvhat the governmeht or any
member thereof has to do with the
matter hi not apparent. •
Mr Richardson believes 'fie has been
"pursued" by Mr Sifton and the lour -
nate upholding Mr Richardson argue

whieh may or may not be benelleial to
the community, but It will assuredly
be so to the insurance companies, for
it will, in many instances, increase

adopting a
rliaFi
o re
tees' Association decided,
specific rating system for all towns
and cities in Canada. This eyetero has
been employed experintentelle in a
number of towns, and the underwrit-
ers believe that the results justify its
adoption on a much larger scale. It is
now practised in the United States
very generally. A key rating will be
given to each town, as in the past,
based largely on the fire appliances
and the amount of losses previously
sustained there. The great feature of
the specific rating is that each build-
ing must pay according to its charact-
er from an underwriter's point view.
There will be a standard building, and
variations from that -standard will en-
tail variations from the standard prena-
Jura, If a building is deficient in wall
or floor thickness so many cents will
be added to the rate. Light wells, ele-
vator thefts, unprotected skylight -s,
'great height or size of bundings, nn -
favorable crosses of stock, large num-
ber of occupants, -unfavorable neigh.
bore', etc., will all be charged up against
,the building. This, it is alleged,
will tend to raise the premiums on
large business places and lower them
on xesidential stores, Residence pro-
perty is not affected at all. •
This change is largely the result of
pressure by the English companies
that carry a large proportion of Can-
adian insurance, and is expected to
.put the companies in a better position
.to make money. The last sentence of
the extract explains why the change

The Brussels Post which has the

has built the Weekly up to a standard
equal to any county journal in On-
tario. The Post is a clean'i. spicy and
well edited newspaper inclning to the
