The Gazette, 1893-07-06, Page 9tis ese JUStv WV. 'retrospect of the go vth"of of r ion will, be of l iterest. We:surely'have reason for the. pride we feel over our fair young country and for the hopes we cherish for future prosperity. Since the first Dominion Day'—July 1, 1867 -=Canada has increased in pop - illation a million and a half. Our Dominion contains the " choicest I .nds known in the world, and is rapidly. being settled by a healthy; moral class of immigrants from our own zone so that acclimatization is easy and the ground work of a strong christain nation is be- ing surely laid and our country's pros- ,perity assured. More satisfactory still has been the progress in material development. In 1867 all the real estate in Ontario was valued at $238,000,000; to-day`farm. lands alone are worth $810,000,000, while stock and implements add another $170,000,- -000 to the wealth possessed by the agri- culturists, of the Province. Tsventy- three years ago the number of horses in Ontario was only 877,000 and of cattle 1,014,000; now the figures ars 680,000 and 2,029,000 respectively. Turning to the Dominion at large there is a showing that is also cause for ;gratification. The foreign trade of the =country has increased $130,100,000 in `07 to nearly $250;000,000 in '93. The assets- of chartered banks in Canada !have increased in the same time from 178,000;000 to $303.000,000, and the da- p'ositsfrom $32,000,000 to $166,000,000. The amount of life insurance in force he 1569 was only $85,600,000; while now. ''it it3 W279,000,000. In the same period - the sum (received for fire insurance premiums has jumped from $1,785,000 a.year to $6,715,000. 'Lar railway interests in 1867 were insignificant, whereas now we have 15,- 000 miles in operation carrying over thirteen and a half million people every year, with annual earnings approaching $52,000,000. In '74 we only exportedi 63 head of cattle; last year we seat ver 100,000, and in the same period our cheese .ex- ports have increased 300 per cent, All :the figures show a growth that 12 -really phenomenal. And our people have improved morally even more rapidly than the country has developed materially. In this Province :he number of places in which liquor is sold has been reduced during the past twenty.one years from 5,450 to 3,347, and the committals for drunkenness -have been lowered from 8,888 in '76 to 2,736 in '92, Nor is this improvement confined to one province, as is shown by the fact that the number of offences against the person in all Canada was only 725 in '92 as against 920 in 1882,, and bythe further fact that murders in tlie:seme, period have fallen from 29 to 18.Ter annum. There isN no country in the world -where there is less of the evils resulting from extreme riches on the one hand and extreme poverty on the other; there is none where there is less suffering in - --eroportaion to population, from actual vaLt, and there is none where the people are so law-abiding; and industrious. Faith in ourselves, vigor in -the develop- ment of our boundless resources and the adoption of sounder fiscal methods now assured will cause the next quarter of a century to give the fulfilment of which the progress of the past, great as that progress undoubtedly has been, is but the promise, glaSgOld GQRRIE. 0 Ouse.
