11a.z> ER,
Ithitor and Proprietor,
Home From Australia,
After an absence of over three months.
and a journey of several thousand miles
by land and water, the members of the
Gait-Anstralian party, who left on Jan•
uary 0th last, reached Galt at 10 o'clock
on Saturday evening, April 20011. Robt•
MoGregor and Mies MoGregor, J. C.
Deitriob, Mrs. and Mise Dietriob, were
warmly welcomed on their arrival at
Galt by their numerous friends, and con-
gratulated on their safe return and pleas-
ant trip. Mr. MoGregor, of MoGregor,
Gourley & Go„ manufaoturers of wood•
working machinery, looms and pine, was
interviewed by a reporter last week on
his trip and the prospects of the develop -
went of trade with the colonies. In the
course of a half•hottr'e pleasant chat, Mr.
McGregor spoke with enthusiasm over
the sojourn and glowingly depicted many
of the interesting places and scenes which
came under his notice.
Said he :—"We set sail on the 17th of
January on the S. S. Miowera of the 0.
P. R. and Australian line. The first
place we touched at was the Hawaiin Ie -
lands, where we remained a day. The
islands were under martial law, but that
did not interfere with us landing and
visiting many places of interest. The
revolt whioh is now going ou in favor of
the republic is not at all dangerous and
the people seem to favor the republioan
form of government in preference to a
monarchy. Queen "LB," the deposed
gseen, is now allowed m
ore liberty around
the palace than formerly. Some of our
party visited the grounds of the palace
ood all of us were delighted with the ie.
lands. They are very nine. I saw two
sawmills there, but there is no chance
for Canadians doing trade with Honolulu
on account of the treaty existing between
the island and the United States, which
gives the Americans a lower tariff rate
than with us. Dole is the newly raised
president of the new republic, and the
forces were temporarily in obarge of
young Hitobcook, superintendent of the
Bureau of Police. Young Hitchcock was
formerly of Cornell University.
"The atmosphere of the islands is mild
and pleasant, and a suit of light clothes
will answer to wear all the year round, so
normal ie the temperature. A little fire
is baht for cooking purposes, bat beyond
that none is needed.
"We next touched at Suva, on the
Fiji Islands, where we remained a day.
The Fijiiane raise large quantities of
tobaceo,80800 and staple products, but
they are a lazy, easy-going sort of people
and do not borrow much trouble. Their
prisons are very primitive affairs and the
great trouble would not be to get out of
incarceration when once confined, but to
find one's way into the place. A burri.
cane bad destroyed a great deal of the
frail before we arrived and we bad home
difficulty in pr000ring enough for those
on board. The natives go around clothed
only fn breeohloute, their bodies being
naked except from the waist to the knees.
The average wage paid is fifty cents a
day.
We next lauded," said her. MoGregor,
"in Sydney, N. S. W., in and around
whioh we spent a week or ten days.
Sydney ie a beautiful oily, handsome and
inviting. The harbor ie one of the fin-
est in the world, the water deep and the
climate refreshing. But there ie a corn.
menial depression existing there ; the
times are far from being good and the
banking institutions are in bad shape.
Sydney is the great commercial city of
Australia, but stringency and stagnation
are everywhere noticeable. We visited
the famous Paramatta River, with its
renowned race -course, where Beach and
Hanlan rowed so many races for the
championship of the world. A monu-
ment has been erected at what is known
as the winning post. It is in honor of
Champion Searle, who died on his way
borne from England after defeating the
late Wm. O'Connor.
"From Sydney we went by steamship
to Melbourne, the capital of Victoria.
Melbourne, with its wide streets, all laid
out at right angles, is a finer city than '
Sydney, although its surroundings are
not so beautiful. We visited Botany
Bay and saw the two monnmente, one
erected to Oapt. Cook and the other to
the French Commander Prouee. It
was on the 11th of February when we
disembarked at Sydney and we spent
about the same length of time in that
city and in Melbourne—about ten days
in each. In Melbourne times are duller
and money scarcer than in Sydney.
There are thousands of vacant houses
there ; the building boom has collapsed
and been mash overdone. Hence we
could not find a market at the present
time for our goods. The depression
there is far more severe than in Canada,
and there is no market at the present
time for woodworking machinery,
"We visited the Ballarat gold mine,
where a profitable business is being
done, By means of the shaft wtifah i0
sank they are able to take more oat of
the,guartz at a lees expense than any
place alae. We did not visit Tasmania
or New Zealand, but Ur. Petrie, of
Guelph, and Mies Petrie, wffo were mem-
bars of our party, left us here and will
1100 return for it few weeks yet. They
have gone 0e Tasmania and Adelaide. We
left Sydney for bom0 on the 16th of
llxarab, .calling .at the some places on
the return voyage 00 we .did going out.
We were parried bac* PO the steamship
"cWarrinme," and landed at Viotoria on
the 10th of April, We spent a day in
Victoria, The seaeon is fully a mpntll
ahead of any part of Canada there,
When we reached there on the 16th of
January the dust was flying inthe
streets and on my return the buds were
bursting and vegetation was far ad-
vanced, 1 met Bon, life: I0ieharde, for-
merly of I00001tville, in the city, 1 said
to him, "Why did you come here 7" '100r,
ltloharde replied, "Because w0 have no
Winters."
"On our way frons Victoria to Galt

ter trade relations between Canada and
the pplonioe, but have not bad time yet
to do mu011, but the work will be didionit
on account of the commercial andbuild-
ing standstill in the Antipodes. New
South Wales has a tariff of about ten
per cent, and the other colonies some-
what lower. Melbourne and Viotoria
have a protective tariff more eqnal to
our own and it is therefore higher than
the other colonies."
"No," said Mr. McGregor in conolu.
lion, "I do not see much prospect at
present for a profitable market for o
goods and I am not tinkled with wh
I eaiv, as I found all trade opening
eepsoially in my line, quite dull. Aft
all, Canada is not such a bad place
live in," end with this remark the f
terview was at ao end.
J. 0. Dietrich, of the Shurly Dietrio
Co., noanufaotorere of servo, etc., was al
palled upon and talked with keen appreo
ation over his repent trip, which he tho
ougbly enjoyed. Mr. Diotrioh said
going they experienced .rough, otorm
weather until Suva, Fiji Islands, w
reached. All the Inembere of the part
experienced that worst of all marine ai
menti—seasickness—•except Mr. Sce
and himself. Mise Dietrich was, ho
ever, only ill for a abort time and 000
rallied, but the remaining ladies suffere
considerably. IE was Mr. Dietrich's fir
ocean voyage, but be weathered it with
out much trouble. On the return tri
the billows rolled high until the Hawn
ian Ielanda'were reached, then there Iva
plain, straightaway Bailing.
'"Did the ladies of the party enjo
themselves as much as the males 0" wa
asked.
Well, I should say they did," re
marked Mr. Dietrich ; ""and even bette
Tbey were free and happy and had n
business like ae to attend to,"
Speaking in reference to interoolonia
trade, Mr. Dietrich was quite sanguine
He said there was every prospeot of
big opening between Canada and tit
ooloniee, and he thought in time ou
manufactured produote could be dispose
ofabo
good prices.
The difficulty g p sully a
present in the way was the depreseio
existing in Australia ; they bad not 011
capital to buy and manufacturers caul
not afford to send out their goods o
time. J. S. Larlte, Australian trad
commissioner, was a hard-working, ae
tive official, and doing all in his powe
towards the opening up of commeroia
negotiations. The colonies felt favor
ably disposed towards Canada and war
anxious to open up trade with us. Mr
Dietrich thought they could export and
that we could use with profit their wool
raisins and fine export wines. Their
""White Hook" winos had Do superior,
and they had been demonstrated to be
equal to the finest Frenoh vintages.
Their grapes were something like the
Malaga grape, whioh we import from
Spain. Mr. Dietrich said he took sam-
ples of the firms manufactured products
over with him and they were highly own •
mended. They were the finest samples
ever Been in the colonies. Rut, ae afore-
mentioned, the market there is dull at
present.
Continuing, Mr. Dietrich said • "The
blook paving of Sydney and Melbourne
is very durable, lasting from 25 to 80
years. It is cut in square blooke, set
close together and hot opal tar poured
over this. The pavement is noiseless
and also elastic, and will outwear atone.
It does not become icy or glassy in
cold weather. It is very much like
lignum vitae. They have some of thie
pavement in Viotoria, B. C. and it ie
giving good satisfaction. There is a good
opening for trade in the colonies, but it is
backward at present. You may say that
the Auetraliane are one and all the most
hospitable and courteous people I ever
met, although they are not sharp, shrewd
and aggressive in business, like the Can-
adians. I find nearly all the leading and
far seeing men and statesmen there are
etrongly in favor of-Impariel Federation,
and the only opposition met with is from
certain political quarters. Each province
has a governor, and these holders of
gubernatorial positions imagine them.
selves great fellows, overcome with a
sense of their importance, and anything
that would tend to abolish their positions
they strenuously oppose. Bet Imperial
Federation has found a firm footbold in
the minds of the most astute and data -
manlike. The American and English
trade has been carried on for years with
the colonies and we are ae yet only a new
claimant for commercial relations. I
think we could find a profitable market
for most anything we manufacture here
in Canada, such as all kinds of machin-
ery, edge tools, sawn, agricultural imple-
ments, boots and elloes, etc., in fact any
of our manufactured goods. There are
no manufactories of any consequence in
Australia.
"The country is essentially a grazing
and mining one, and ire products are
grapes, sugars, tropical fruits, etc. The
temperature there was fine, the climate
salubrious. It was not hot, but balmy
and brigbt when we were there. The
city of Melbourne is undoubtedly the
lineet and best built city in the world,
with its regular streets, solid, imposing
buildings and blocks all of the same aide.
Collins street is the most splendidly
built up street I ever saw. There are
now many thousands unemployed ; the
people, owing to their good credit in the
past, with foreign capital forced upon
them, with the accompanying extrava•
gent habits formed, are now suffering
a reaction. It was only reasonable to
euppoee this. The wages paid there,
however, are better than they are here.
Paddy Larkin, bead of the Roman Ca-
tholio element in Sydney, told me that
five years ago, any man coming to that
country who bad a denim to work, cou-
pled with fair average ability, could

WILD MOWERS OF' aiNp1U,t,
It is Bald that if a man only goes high
enough in a balloon be lyses sight of the
herbage upon the world, and sees the
brgwn earth that is underneath; Bet
Canadians just now appear to be very
high up
ina balloon for while savants
ofh 'United t
ofthe U i lila ee and Great Britain
and other European countries are extra-
ordinarily excited over the discovery of
certain 'mailer and significant wild
flowers in Canada, there is hardly one
Canadian in ten who has more than en
indistinct idea of the extraordinary
abundanoe and beauty of wild fiowore of
this (country, Itis many years slime one
of the greatest French hotahfate visited
Canada and traversed the wilds of Lake
St, John Region almost as far no Hudson's
Say to oolleot the wild flowers of Oanado,
Ho was a great mad and was entertained
by vioeaoyaltyand afforded every oppor-
tunity to carry out his projeote. He fre.
quegtly lamented the ignorance of
Canadians on the subject end on one oc.
eaeion the whole vioe regal oourt turned
out under his direction and devoted a
tveek to the collection of the wild flowers
of their neighborhood. These collections
were ,mostly sent home to France, and
from that day to the present the acien-
tists of that country have coaled to look
upon Canada as a few arpsnts of snow,
for they realize that the wild flowers of
,Canada are the finest and most extensive
of aay country on the face of the globs,
and therefore indioete a fertility of soil
and a summer season which promises
that Canada shall be in time the leading
granary of the world.
The investigations of Michaux into the
wonderful wild flower wealth of Canada
have reoently beeu brought prominently
to the notice of the modern public, and
the consequence has been the awakening
of an extraordinary enthusiasm upon the
subject, whioh has extended from the
laboratories of France, England and 1120
United States to the reception rooms of
the leaders of society. Not to be ao.
quaiuted with Canadian wild flowers in
those c000tries is to be stamped as not
fashionable, or in the upper sets. Itis
even said that the successful termination
of the visit of 8.R.H.., the Prince of
Wales to Russia, whioh did muob to
alter the political aspect of Europe, was
due incidentally to the foot that the
Prince had studied the wild flowers of
Canada while here in 1800, and was able,
oonsequently, to discourse eloquently
upon the topic. It ie also said that he
complimented the young Czar upon pos-
sessing territories whioh were similar to
Canada, andh'
w wh noise neat) might
o q y gl
reasonably be expensed to posses a wild
flower treasure as fine as that of Canada.
It is a pity that Canadians should be
almost the last to realize the worth of
their possessions in this respect, and in
view of the extraordinary spread of en.
thusiasm throughout the civilized world
in connection with the wild flowers of
this country, no Canadian laying claim
to intelligence can afford to remain longer
in ignorance.
