THE IRREGULARITIES OF our CON.

The Hon. VIM. Armand, in his argumsnts
before the Committee Of Ways and MeAnas
stated that II the present high duty on Nova
Scotia coal was To be continued the Govern
ment Of the Dominion would probably place
duty on coal and wheat imported from the
United States and CANADA. With out exam
lining the Official returns we might DO In.
cllned to conclude that the quantities OF
these articles sent from the United States
into Canada were too limited to be worthy
Of attention. Such, however, Is not the fact.
The gold value OF wheat purchased in the
United States during the year ending June
30, 1858, and sent into Canada for eonsump-
ton, amounted to nearly four millions Of
dollars. We quote from the official returns
the quantities Of wheat and breadstufIs i'm

In the faeo Of the fact that Canada is one
OF the best wheat-groWing countries In the
world, It IL little curious that we should
annually send nearly 100000 worth Of
wheat Into that country, and that we should
sell to them breadstufb, including wheat,
amounting TO little less than e5,0OO, 900.
Yet such Is the case, according To- the officiRl
returns. The explanations lies in the fact
that Canada sends rs their tohits -four and
buys our Western red wheat.
There Is another anomaly In our trade
with the Colonies. They annually buy from
us moro coal than we send to them. Here
are the returns for the year ending June 30,
1850,
EXP. to Canada, tons, ass, Value u, SSS,rs
lmp'S Pm the Colonies, AS, lsS, GOSH
Dir In favor Of U. s., 2O,G0s, ca, 50
Here we have the fact presented that
while we pay the colonies annually only
$780, for the item Of coal, Canada alone
pays us or. and haJ millions Of dollars for
that article.
There is another fact worthy of note In
tAls connection. The cnin-isr "~"l t. =,
S---E-----y shan thoy do OF anthracite coal
according TO the returns.
In connection with the application from
Nova Scotia for reduction of our duties on
their coal, are not the facts presented In the
foregoing returns worthy Of consideration .
Canada receives from US coal to the value Of
sl,06S,1l annually, on which there Is no
duty. We receive from the colonies coal TO
the value OF only teSO,57I, on which we
collect duty Of tt.95 per ton In gold, which
Is deducted from the amount Of receipts as
above. Canada buys from us wheat and
other breadstuns annually to the Yalue Of
A,ss2,5sO on which they charge no duty,
and altogether they buy'frOm US annually
