The Lumb or Trade Of Canada.

The lumber trade of Canada for 1872.
was not profitable in consequence of
labor and provisions having risen from
25 to 80 per cent, and although the
cut of logs in the winter was very large,
yet in consequence of the continued
dry weather and low water during the
summer, it was impossible to send
down the logs. The manufacturers of
lumber also failed to make contracts
for logs until late in the season, and
consequently boards rose in price and
the demand was always greater than
the supply. This winters operations
are on basis of from SO to so per
cent. less than that of last year, and an
unusually heavy "drive" will be re-
quired in the spring to get down the
remainder Of the cut of 1912 and the
cut of this year. The mills at Ottawa
have discontinued saving at night, the
operation costing 30 per cent. more
tEan saving by daylight. The exports
of Canadian lumber to the United
States during 1872 were of a limited
amount until after August LIST, when
the new U. s. tariff came into operation,
and the shipments increased. The en-
tire exports to the United States from
Canada in 1872 were as follows: Deals.
planks, and boards, by canal, 219. OOO..
600 feet; deals, planks, and boards, by
rail, 81, OO0. 900 feet ; square timber,
1,128, 900 cubic feet scantlings, 64O..
600 pieces lath, 2,9l3, 900 pieces ;
shingles, 1865, 600 pieces, and $50, OO0
logs and sleepers.

The Virginius Case.

WASHINGTON, Dec. u. 1t has been
known for some days that the Spanish
Government has furnished evidence with
regard to the NTginus and her claim to
the right TO bear the flag Of the United
States, and that the President has submit
ted the evidence TO the Attorney General
for his opinion thereon.
1t seems now to be understood in official
circles that the Attorney General has given
the opinion that the vessel haC forfeited
the right to bear the flag Of the United
States and at the time Of her capture was
carrying it without right and improperly
In view Of. this opinion our GOVERNMENT
will in accordance with the terms of the
Protocol institute an inquiry and adopt pro-
ceedngs against the Nirginius and against
any Of the persons who may appear to
have been guilty Of illegal acts in connec-
ton Herewith, as Spain has shown to the
satisfaction Of the United States, accord
ing to the Attorney Generals opinion, that
the Nirginius was al the time carrying the
United States flag without right and i'm
properly.
The salute to the flag on the 25th of Dec
will be dispensed with as it is not necessa-
rily reputable, but the United States will
expect disclaimer of the intent of indig-
nifty to its flag in the act which was com
mitted

just look one moment ii the result of

ers can recollect when the pay Of Il con-
gresham was but SIS a day and considered
liberal at that. Now who can advance any
good reason why the pay of i member Of

it was less than twenty Years ago. No one
can fully and fairly consider this matter
