raE soUTm AMERICAS TRADE.

The Official reports OF ali the countries
concerned show that the South American
countries buy far more OF their imported
manufactures from England than from
the United States. SEEKING upon this fact
the Democratic papers have claimed chat IL
was simply due 10 the fact that England is
able 70 underselI the United states 10 these
commodities
Bot there ars other official statistics.
equally inaisputAble. which tell quito a
contradictory story. One set Of these, ia
particular. is highly significant. Canada.
a province OF Great Britain. bugs more by
many muIsiples Of a large lire Of manu-
featured goods from the United States than
from the mother country.
OF rubber goods. which both countries
manufacture In enormous quantities, Can.
ada makes all but about l per cent OF her
purchases from the United States In both
countries there are facilities for manufac-
turing enough printing ink TO supply the
world. OF her purchases in this line Can
ada takes 6 per cent. from England and 81
per cent from this country. La copper,
brass and tinware. in each of which Eng
land supplies a large share OF the worlds
traffic. Canada takes 81 per cent. from as
and ~ per cent. from England. Fifty per
cent OF her imported oilcioth. carpets and
twine are bought from the United States.
And so IL goes through long list Of sta
pie manufactures. IS carefully tabulated
from official statistics by that standard au-
thority, the .apericen EconoHsiss. Even Of
glass. paper and ginghams, which enter
largely into England's sales to South
America. and OF iron manufactures. in
which England has always claimed to
excel, Canada takes more than 90 per cent.
Of her imports from this country.
But, while Canada buys these lines of
goods from US, South America buys them
from England. II the latter were because
England can manufacture and sell them
cheaper than We can. surely Canada would
not prefer ours TO the sans goods from
England. But the true reason of this diff

relation TO South America Il Is different.

millions per Annum on ocean subsidies

inces.
The argument is clear and unanSwerable.
that II our government will Offset those
subsidies she can wrest that trade from
England Ours is the shorter route. and
her own snhiects by their acts declare that
ours are the cheaper and better goods.
Most certainly these statistics refute the
Democratic argument first above quoted

crowded with people who expected to leave

men employed in running the incoming train
deserted their posts in the tunnel at seth

passengers had to get out and make their

The strike was ordered on account of the
discharge of certain employees. Every train
was abandoned. 70 matter where it might be.
The 7,10 train for Montreal was waiting its

himself discharged. We have advertised

TO have anything to do with the knights of

any we will have police to protect us" Mr..
Webb said the fast mail pulled out at o
o'clock with four mail cars and no passenger
cars; He further announced that no attempt
would be made to run trains tonight.
When Acting Superintendent of Police
Byrnes was notified Of the strike he at once
ordered the entire police reserve In readiness

tracks as far north as Spuyten Duyyil, and
as lar south as st. Johns Park, where the

We understood that Mr.. Burrows without

in the shoe business, and did not intend to

quarter. She reached the third pole In ! 3S1
