into the hands of graspng monopolists, thereby
making this country curse instead of blessing
to the laboring man, should warn the masses of the
danger which threatens them, if they place conf
dence in the croakngs of those who are endeavor-
ing to throw the State into the hands of the Wings
and our soil-both mineral and agricultural into
the power Of grasping monopolies.
But we may be told that q large majority of the
Democracy of the mountain counties endorse the
action Of those democrats wko are fusing with the
Wings, and setting at defiance the wcllestablished
and clearly defined lines of the party. We deny
this cI Iarge. The noisy, brawlng politicians who
are so camorous in dcnouncing the action of the
majority caucus, comparatively but few i'll
numbers. They do not constitute the laboring
classes. In the main, they are men who occupied
no particular position at home, but who through
circumstances have obtained little notoricty in
this country and not having sufficient intellectual
balance have made themselves believe, and are try
ing to impress the it upon the minds of the people
that they are the only respirators Of the partythe
whole, great Democratic party.
You don't pretend to tell us, say some, that the
howngs set up by county officers, their satellites
dependents, and those creatures who are seeking
for political prefermcnt the custom house toadies
and their mnions, about the violation of the Con-
stitution both State and National, the wrongs
committed to the party, etc. arc unreal, and have
no foundation in fact and truth That is exactly
the charge we make. We do it knowing the mean
ing of the words we employ in making the charge,
and with a full conviction that the peoplc-thc great
Democratic laboring people are convinced of the
duplicty and falsehood of the coalitonists in en-
deayoring to transfer them into the Wing ranks to
pander to a scheme of trcachery and fraud

most deliberately surveyed by the accurate and
accomplished Captain Bayfield,, Royal navy, an
inspection Of whose charts is indispensable to
a correct appreciation Of the commercial quail
ties Of this navigation. The exclusive mo-
nopoly by British ships of this route hitherto,
the buoyant character Of the cargo--timber, the
ignorance of the masters, and excuses of the
men, have been more fruitful causes of disaster
than the natural contingencies of the route.
Heretofore, in many instances, old and unser-
viceable vessels, commanded by men whose
pay was less than that of a good mechanic, were
sent out in September for cargo of timber.
A month of dissipation in Quebec sent the crew
to sea diminished in numbers by desertion, with
weakened physical powers, and insufficient
clothing. When, therefore, the. cold November
blasts in the gulf were encountered, for want
of ordinary exertions strength, and intelligence,
the vessel went ashore. Notwithstanding, con-
sidering that over half million of tons Of ship
ping annually enter the st. Lawrence, it will be
found that the percentage of losses has been
no greater than that of the British and Irish
channels, or the keys of Florida.
The tonnage inward and outward, by sea,
from Quebec and Montreal, for 1851, with the
number of disasters within the gulf and river,
was as follows:
Washington sentinel. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1855, 1854-07-30

The greatest number Of ships outward in
any year previous to 1851 was in l845, when
1899 cleared out, with tonnage of 584, $40.
In 1851 the number Of vessels outward is less,
but the tonnage is greater than that of any
former year. It must be remembered that,
since 1916, the duty upon Baltic timber in
Britain has been reduced. u
The value Of exports from Quebec depends
upon the market price of timber, which ranges
nearly one hundred per cent II was greatest
in lS45, when the price Of timber was highest,
although the tonnage outward, which is the true
measure of the commerce, was less than in
1851. The progress Of the imports is an index
Of the prosperity Of the port, as the articles
are general merchandise, which do not fuctu-
ate as much in value as the exports.
The following is statement of imports for
series of years at the port Of Quebec:

1850. ~. ...... 8S644l 2,745,7e4
1851. $4,000 $685. GIG
The progress of exports inland, which for
1851 includes transit goods for United States,
is shown as follows. 9us
Washington sentinel. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1855, 1854-07-30

Inland exports, $3,269,888; imports, $685.
ESQ., Total, ST., 94l $685.. Sea exports, So
0sl,840; imports, $l5,324,348. Total, $685.
406,l88.
The exports inland are taken from the i'm.
ports at United States custom-houses. This
makes the reported value of the sea nearly
double that of the inland trade, and makes the
gross trade Of Canada, or the value Of her ex-
ports and imports for 1851, amount to $780,
i347,756, Of which s24, 200, 900 are imports, and
only $ll 100000 exports. In the exports there
should beincluded the value Of ships built for
sale at Quebec, at least 81, 100000 more in
1851, and for differentiation Of exports inland
q much larger sum; SO that q full estimate of
the gross trade Of Canada for 1851 will not
fall short of q value Of forty millions of dol.
lars. fs ss
The published Canadian returns for 1850 con-
tain no statement, either Of imports in transitu
for the United States, or those which pass up
under frontier bond. There are, therefore, no
means Of comparing the above statement with
former years. It has been shown heretofore
that, in the staple of wheat and -four, there has
been marked gain by the sea at the expense
of the inland trade; yet the importation inland
has sensibly increased over that of 1850.

some fifty thousand tons of slaves, lath-wood,
&C.; the whole (at the usual rate of forty cubic
feet TO the ton) amounting to one million six
hundred and fifty thousand tons, and worth, at
the ruling prices of that year, between Eve and
six millions Of dollars. Reducing the cubic to
superficial measure, for the sake of comparison
with Albany and Bangor, the supply of square
timber and deals Exclusive Of slaves, lath-
wood, &C., brought to Quebec in that year ex-
ceeded five hundred millions Of feet. The stock
wintered over exceeded twenty-one millions of
cubic feet of timber, and heexport twenty-four
and quarter millions, loading some thirteen
or fourteen hundred vessels, of an aggregate
tonnage of over half a million.

mage Of vessels inward and outward in Quebec,

It will be seen that there is decrease in the
importation from Canada in 1851, and an in
respect TO wheat, at least, counterbalance the
deficiency Of inland exports. AS the Canadian
wheat crop of 1851 exceeded that of any for
mer year, the presumption is that the low
prices which ruled during last year retained
much Of the surplus in the province.

The imports of 1851 are exclusive of rail-
way and other iron, imported in transitu, for
western States, valued at $3.50, ZOO.
The imports at Quebec in 1851 greatly ex-
coed those of any former year, and the whole
business of the port, import and export, for
the past year, probably equalled its best ones
when under the protective policy Of the mother
country.
In order, however, to present the sea-trade Of
Canada, it becomes necessary to treat Quebec
and Montreal as one port. The value Of the ex-
ports of Quebec is generally more than double
those of Montreal while the imports of the latter
aredouble those of Quebec. This latter difference
is sensibly lessening in favor of Quebec, as that
city is now becoming the point Of transhipment
for goods in transit to western States, which will
relatively greatly increase the value of her
imports; while, as she will always be the tim
ber-mart, no corresponding decline of her ex-
ports is to be anticipated. Ships of the largest
burden are brought up to Quebec by the tide !;
but the approach to Montreal il limited BY the
shallowness of water in Lake ST. Peter, giving
at low water only thirteen feet, and is burdened
with towage against the current of the river.
The work of deepening Lake ST. Peter is now in
progress, with fair prospects Of success, and in
another year or two vessels drawing fifteen feet
water may come to Montreal. ti
Vessels loading at Montreal are frequently
obliged to lighter portion of their cargo
through the lake, and are, therefore, recleared
at Quebec. Again, imports in the large ships
which stop at Quebec are lightered up to Mon
treal thus rendering It almost impossible to
separate the commerce of the two ports.
Again, by means of the ship-canals, the in
land lake and river ports of Canada carry on
a direct trade by sea; and, although the regu-
lations require their exports to be reported at
tide-water, their direct imports are not noticed
at Montreal or Quebec, but are passed up UNI
der frontier bond" and entered at the port
of destination.
In the following statement the imports in
transit for the United States and those under
frontier bond for Upper Canada ports are in
cluded:
Washington sentinel. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1855, 1854-07-30

we're sent to the United States in 1850 exceed
ed the total exports by sea in that year, and
that in 1851 this was reversed, is very signi6-
cant, considering that the Canadians are now
trading upon equal terms with the United
States in the markets of the mother country
and those of other foreign States. To eluci-
date this, must refer to the
INTERCoLoNIAL TRADE.
The export of -four from Canada, By sea, to
the British North American colonies Of Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland,
since 1874, has been as follows:

The following statement shows the amount Of
Canadian -four and wheat imported, the amount
bonded for expectation, and the amount en-
tered for consumption at each port of entry:
Washington sentinel. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1855, 1854-07-30

making the total export to these colonies 246,-
039 barrels--an increase of over twelve-fold in
eight years.
The substitute of Canadian for American
-four in the consumption of the slower colo
MES" has been brought about by the opening
of the ship-canal on the st. Lawrence, aided By
reciprocity arrangement between these colo
MES and Canada; and because the exclusion of
the latter from the American domestic market
has forced Canadian -four through the St. Law
renee to compete in the foreign markets ofthe
United States.
The articles of wheat and -four have been
taken, for the sake of convenience, to illustrate
the expor-trade of Canada, its direction and
distribution. The remarks above, however, APP
ply to sll other provisions of which she pro-
duces asurplus.
In thu importtrade, sugar, one of the lead
ing articles of consumption, may be taken to
illustrate a change as favorable to Canada as
that inthe export of -four. In lS49 the value of
sugars imported from the United States was
double hat from the lower colonies. In 1851
the vahe from the United States was $258, 84o,
and from the colonies $269,300. In 1919
nearly one-half of the sugar was imported, in
land, from and through the United States--the
proportion being 5,l52,000 pounds, out of the
total Importation of 1l,613,0O0 pounds. In
1850 The Importation rose to Is, 900 pounds,
of which the United States furnished $4,000
pounds or little more than one-third. In
1851 tie number Of pounds imported was
20,l75,)Ae6, of which 5,640,000 pounds were
from The United States, and 5,s80,0OO pounds
from the lower colonies.

Quebec received indiferently American and
