These two dates, fifteen years apart, show the
Expanded and in what directions it has fallen off.

The list naturally divides itself into two classes
points out the st. John Telegraph-the countries
our exports to which have increased and those to
which they have decreased. At the head Of the
first list is the United States, followed by
France, Germany, Spain, South America, China
to which sell less than did fifteen years
ago are Great Britain, Portugal, Italy, Holland,
will be seen at glance that the changes in the
volume Of our exports to all other countries
small compared with those sent to Great Britain
seven millions less and the United States over
seven millions more than in 1874. The more i'm
portant Of the other changes are that the West
indies take a million less and Australia half a
million more than they took from us fifteen years
ago.
1t is especially noteworthy that in 1889 we
found market for only 81, 561 6s7 worth Of our
products in all the countries of the world outside
countries to which sold a million dollars
worth in the year, outside Of Great Britain and
the United States were Newfoundland, the West
Indies and South America and this year our ex
ports to South America have very seriously fall
en- off. Our exports to all other countries of the
one fifth Of our exports to the United States
And it is to be- observed that outside of tho
less of our products in ali the countries Of the
world than we found Is years ago Despite the
high tariff on both sides the volume Of Canadian
export and import trade with the United States
in 1880 was $94, 059s44. The volume of our ex-
port and import trade with all the world beside
the United States in 1889 was 800, 602, TO- Our
trade with the United States was thus within a
fraction of as great with all the world beside
Surely in these days, when there is SO much talk
of finding new markets, there Is food for ref1ec-
ton in the above facts
Editorially the same paper says:
Just one more idea occurs in this connection.
Is it reasonable for the liberal party to advocate
unrestricted reciprocityg We hold not We
claim that it is perfectly right. We favor unre-
stricted reciprocity with the United States. So
do Messrs. Laurier and Cartwright and Jones and
Davies-the recognized leaders of the liberal
party. There is nothing inconsistent with the
higest duty which man owes to his country to
favor this policy Indeed, it is the best, the tru
for the Canadian people.
Which is significant and shows the grow
ing drift of public opinion.
The custom in Nova Scotia of yoking the
| oxen by the horns at once strikes . stran-
ger as curious and cruel, but the claim il
| made that it fatigues tho cattle less, that
| they can draw heavier loads and hold
back better in descending hill. Tho cost
of living is much less than here; chickens
twenty-five cents per pair and other things
in proportion.
Mr.. Hill visited . number of gold mines
and brought back with him some very
rich specimens, also learned there is much
mineral wealth in Nova Scotia-coaI Stat,
quarries, silver, iron, copper, earth paint
etc.-as yet but little developed.
