At the end of 1902 the railway ,mileage of the world was 532,500, of which the United States had 202,471 miles and Europe 180,708. Asia came next with 41,814, and Africa last with 14,187 miles. The British Empire bad 91,485, the German Empire 32,752, and the Russian Empire 31,945 miles. The United States, therefore, has six times as much as either the German or the Russian Empires. a. —Mr. Robert Kerr, passenger traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway, has just returned from Great Britain and Europe, He went practically all through Great Britain and also visited Ant- werp, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Co- penhagen and Gattenburg. He says :--'RI found a great and grow- ing interest in, Canada, and espe- cially was this the case in Great Britain and in Germany. Every- one seemed interested in Canada and I marked the growing desire to learn more about Canada, with the ultimate idea of coming here to settle. I think British emigration to Canada is just about starting, and I believe next year will be a splendid one." —The Globe's Ottawa correspon- dent wrote as follows on Friday last :—The impression is gaining ground that there will be another session before an election, It will be a very brief one, and only legis- lation of the most urgent character will be passed. Then the govern- ment will dissolve parliament and go to the country. It is under- stood that the majority of Ministe- rial members, certainly those from Quebec, favor another session ra- ther thani an immediate appeal to the electorate. At the same time, if the government choose to have the elections this winter, they have good reasons for doing so in the re- distribution of constituencies and the Grand Trunk Pacific policy. —Already steamers may keep in virtually continuous communica- tion with the shore by means of wireless telegraphy. Thus far no vessel has steamed across and kept in line with the coast throughout her voyage, but by keeping up com- munication with the shore of de- parture for two days and with pass- ing vessels the next two days and with the shore of approach for the last two days of the trip, it is pos- sible for her to be within touch of land almost all that time. Now an attempt' is being made to hold a steamer in direct communication with one point on shore all the way across. The Lucania is to be fitted with extra powerful instru- ments and the experiment will consist in sending frequent messa- ges to and from her until she lands on the other side. WHAT MAY BE EXPECTED, (Weekly Sun.) Indications of a Coming period of depression in the United States are to be seen on every hand. Go where you will in the United States you will find the feeling expressed that the Republic is on the eve of an industrial crisis. The feeling is in the air; it finds expression every- where. This general belief was voiced at the Farmers' National Congress at Niagara, Falls two weeks ago, and is almost a Constant theme of discussion in industrial circles and in the press. A. great 'United States financier,', do an interview published in the z`l'ew York World, says that the United States is at the very begin- ning of industrial hard times. The country will, he says, sweat Mood before many months are over. He believes before the present year ends hundreds of thousands of men who are now employed will be idIe. Ire bases his statement an the feet that the Americans are DOW Manti- fa•Cturing more than they can self, and under these conditions gigantie industrial corporations, which have hoot ;palm* over -capitalized, !cannot begin to pay dividends. One of the awes) ipdioations bf the coming of a period of deprfes- sion in the United States is found in the case of iron. Iron the basis of so many industries, is the best THE WING AM ADVANCE. Thursday, October 15, 1903 commercial baroodneter. When it is depressed, other industries are de- pressed as well, To -day pig iron in New York, says the Financier just quoted, is $G per ton less than it was last year. What effect will this depression have on Canada ? That we will suffer more or .less from it is be- yond question, because the two countries are so closely associated industrially, and because, too, the same over -capitalization has taken place here that is one of the main causes of the coming trouble in the United States. This country is, However, not likely to suffer to the same extent as the United States, The Americans to -day are receiv- ing, in the form of immigration, people from Southern Europe, who are without money, and who are not disposed to till the land, which is the real basis of national pros- perity, We in this country, on the other hand, are receiving a tide of immigration far beyond any previ- ous period in our history, and the immigrants who are corning to us are generally people of substance, and people who are coming to en- gage in the development of the ag- ricultural resources of the North- west, In this is found our chief protection against the period of de- pression which is surely coming to this continent. In one respect, if our farmers act wisely, the depression may be turned to advantage, All over On- tario are to be found a large num- ber of farm buildings which require remodelling, Farmers have lately been deterred from remodelling by the high price of material and labor. Both these commodities will undoubtedly. be reduced in price inside of twelve months, and when this reduction takes place the time for building will have ar- rived, THE SUBSIDY EVIL. The Canadian Magazine has been a strong opponent of the subsidy evil. In its current issue, referring to the announcement of Sir Wilfrid Laurier that more subsidies will be brought down, it says : " The country " is prosperous. There is no doubt of that, but the reasonable conclusion would be that this prosperity would remove the necessity of bonuses. If bonuses are to be granted because the coun- try is prosperous, then they may be expected to increase in size and number as the years go by. Surely the absurdity of this would have revealed itself to such shrewd and able men as Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Hon. Mr. Fielding. Tito real reason for this revival of sub- sidies is due, no doubt, to compro- mises which were rendered neces- sary by the Grand Trunk Pacific scheme. The Canadian Northern people have considerable influence in both parties, and they demand subsidies as the price of their ac- quiescence in the Grand Trunk's magnificent bargain. The same may be said of the Canadian Paei- fie people, the Trans -Canada crowd and the Quebec bridge promoters. In order to smooth down the oppo- sition to the Government's bargain with one set of financiers, all the other sets must get a share of the plunder, In Great Britain pros- perity and an expanding revenue mean a reduction of taxation ; in Canada they mean an increase in the levies and a more generous giving "to him that hath," RECKLESS EXPENDITURE. The Government has broken all records for expenditure. With supplementary estimates of $10,- 390,863 for 1903-4 brought down this week, the total amount which parliament has been asked to vote during the, present session reaches the enormous sum of $73,091,805, This includes $5,590,968 for the year 1902-03, so that the total so far for the present fiscal year is $67,700,837. Since the present parliament was convened the Lib- erals have brought down the fol- lowing votes :- 1901-2 $59,924,740 1902-3 64,452,902 1903-4 67, 700, 837 During the last session of the previous parliament, 1900-01, the Vote stood at $56,611,085, which meant; that since the government last appealed to the people they have sent the expenditure up $11,-1 089,752—not includitg items for 1903-04 which remain to be voted during this and the next session. During the last year of Conser- vative rule, 1896, the total expen- diture was $44,096,383, or $23,- 604,454 less than the vote already in view for 1903.04, In addition to the $73,01,805, which is only intended for the or- dinary purposes of government, the Liberals have pledged the country's credit for over $100,000,000 for the Grand Trunk 1'aci6c deal and $9,- 360,000 for the Canadian ATorthern, Yow' Liver ..
