Nowmarket 1' AN, D BLOUGH The ass'ertinn that was freely made by Oppnsitionists during the last 808- sima nf Parliament t.th the British preference had practically kiiied trade with Germany. is not substantiated by the returns uhiished of the last year’s business wit, that country. In spite nf the fact that Germany assmnbied an unfriendly attitude toward the Domin- ion, and imposed the maximum tariff rates upon Canadian goods, thereby moving her out of the “ most favored nation class.” our exports to the Fnt‘hgrlun' have: very greatly iliCl‘PBS‘ ed. In 1896-97 the town value of Cana- dian exports to Germany was $757,531. The following year it had grown to $1.045,448,whilae last year in had grown in $1,837,448, in other words our trade with Germany has increased just, one. hundred and fifty per cent in two years. If this is the way the Liberal trade policy is killing the trade of Can- ada we can stand lots of it. IT IS WORKING ALL RIGHT. One of the leading importers of Eng» lish dry goods in \Vestern Ontario has been expressing his opinions upon the effect of the Government’s [)l'(’.f(‘l'(’ll~ tial policy opinions that have been formed from his personal experience and nhservation. He. declares that the pl efereum has induced the importation of British woollens and dress fabrics to a remarkable extent, giving to ‘ Yorkshire in particular a great, lever- age over foreign manufactures, the. (inference. in duty being twenty-five per cent less than the. duty paid upon German and French wool fabrics. He observes further :â€"“ In cotton goods this also applies, and it. has quite ehhnged the, importation of cotton shoe laces from German to English goods, or rather I should say English woods which had almost; disappeared 12mm this market can now readily coinâ€" pem against Germananade g<mds. In silks it has fostered the importation of 1 English silks to a remarkable extent, as I know from my every day experi- ence. French and Swiss si”.s, as also Japanese, will always‘he. o5 in Canâ€" ada, but in the surah “makes of silks the. preference given to. British manu- facturers has induced a specially large importation of these. goods since the new tariff came into force and this can readily he. proven to ‘oe because of the preference in favor of British manuw factures.” , OUR POSITION BETTER UNDERSTOOD. Thanks to the persistent and well directed efforts of the Federal Govern- ment, and it, must in fairness he added to the kindly assistants) of our late (inxvernt)r-General, Lord Abeldeen, the Mother country is evidently getting much clearer and more accurate ideas as to the actual position of the Alas» kan boundary dispute. The London (Enga) Globe, for example, comment- ing the other (lay upon the subject unâ€" der the head of “ Canadian Rights,” states briefly the circumstances under which a, huge section of what is now the State of Maine. was lost to the Doâ€" minion through the supineness of Lord Ashburton, who, more anxious to terminate a ti oublesome business than to stand up for Canada. is said to have pleasantly observed, “ Well, we will not quarrel about two or three lines of latitude, we will put the line there.” “ The result was,” said the Globe, “ that Canada. lost a splendid piece of territory. which .would be' of inesti- mable value to her commercial inter- ests were it now in her possession. It is not at all surprising, therefore, that our fellow-subjects sometimes display irritation in connection with the, Alaskan boundary ; they conceive, that their neighbors are hoping to get the better of British diplomacy in this matter as they did in the case, of Maine. Happily British statesmen no longer regard “ two or three degrees of lati- tude ” as not worth making a fuss about.” ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT YET. In some quarters, however, there. is still an almost incredible lack of knowledge of Canada and of her affairs, and that too in what should he the best informed circles, as is strik- ingly shown by a report, in the Lon- don (Eng.) Standard less than a» month ago, in which Lord Aberdeen is made. to talk about the imperial importance of the “ Central Pacific Railway.” The same paper’s knowledge of our climate too is apparently none too ac- curate, for in another issue about the same date it refers to thehoys who have gone to Africa as havi1.g been “reared in the snows of Canada.” The, dear old Standard would have. a. lit if it heard that the first snow seen this season in the rapital of these Arc- tic regions fell on December 4th,» 'and that within 50 miles of Toronto flowers are still blooming in the open air. \Vhen the Government sends its next immigration advertisement to the Standard it might be Well to enclose a. little educational literature with it. ACCEPTING THE INEVITABLE. The effect of the statesmanlike ac- tion of the Provincial Government in prohibiting the exportation of Can- adieu logs is already becoming appur- Our Ottawa. Letter. ent. for the. lumbermen of Eastern Michigan have started to move their mills into Ontario, apfrsciating the fact that the judgment rendered by the Ontario Courts is so clear cut and decisiVely against them that it will be throwing good money after bad to prosecute the appeal, and although the pmceedings may he carried through as a matter of form, they have small expectations of its succeed- ing. Their only rinnaining hope is that some. arrangement may be arriv- ed at through the medium of the Joint High Cmnmission, and it, may be safely concluded that the R‘lichigandeI-s will continue to use every effort towards, that end. If the present condition of affairs continue, however, the. Michi- gan mills will be practically idle next season, save. for what little. timber can be taken off the Indian Reserved and the lands that do "not belong t0 the Province. The. Georgian Bay mill on the contrary would now run at, their full capacity and new ones are build- ing. Already seven Michigan lumber- men had arranged with Canadian mills for the cutting of their logs. A large number of the members of St. Andrew’s and St. Paul’s Churches, together with a few other friends, as- sembled at the Manse on Thursday evening and gave, a warm welcome to Rev. 0. A. Campbell and Mrs. Camp- bell, who had just returned after a. bridal tourof four weeks which they spent at Smith’s Falls and other places East. An excellent tea. was serv- ed about 9 o’clock. and after the, tea a number of toasts were pmposed amt responle to in :L felicitous manner. After " The. Queen ” was duly honored the “ Bride and Groom ” was proposed, which was responded to in choice and appiopriate words by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Campbell. “Neighboring Con- gregations" brought forth good speeches from Revs. Messrs. J. A. Grant, J. \V. Stewart and S. L.‘ W. Hal-ton. Among the. pleasant features of the evening was the presentation of a handsome cutter to Rev. Mr. Camp- bell, by tlie'yo‘ung men of the Maple congregation, the presentation was ac- companied by an address read by Mr. Charles McNeil. and at another stage Rev. Mr. llm'ton read an address from the. combined congregations. After ail had partaken of the good things provided the table was removâ€" i ed, and the company all assembled in the large parlor where a short pro- gramme was given. Several choruses and instrumental selections were. renâ€" dercd, also :1 solo “ My Own Fireside” was sung by Mrs.(Dr.) Sisley. Messrs. J. and G. McNeil gave. a couple of duets and Mr. G. Elder a. solo. Mr. Jas. McNeil acted as chairman. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed them- selves, and when the party broke up departed, wishing the. bride. and groom every happiness for the future. A literary and dvhn ting society has been organized with Rev. S. W. Harâ€" tou, Pres, Miss Morrison, Vice-Pres., and Mrs. Sisloy Sec. A full house greeted the appearance of the. Eckm-db family last Saturday night. The music of the bells was very sweet and pleased everybody,and the singing of the two boys Gor- dan and Bernard was much apprvcint- ed and received great applause. They are splendid pm'for'mel's and every partdf'tho programme was Well ren- dered. All who were present: were well satisfied with the ontértaimuent. At‘a regular InveLing of Vaughan Lodge, A.
