why the Dominion Has Fared Worse
Than the United states--A Year
OF Prosperity.

The extraordinary trade showing Of
the United States for the past fiscal
year has attracted attention In Can
ada. and our neighbors TO the north
ward are beginning TO ask how II In
that In this year OF unexampled pros
perity for farm, factory and min they
failed to enjoy their due and natural
proportion. They have begun to in
stitute comparisons, and they find that
according to their opportunities they
fell far behind the people on this side
Of the line. They were equally for
tunate in having n bountiful yield OF
agricultural products and In being
chile to sell their surplus at abnormal
~ high prices. Other things being
equal, they should have been able to
surpass the showing OF the United
States, for their percentage of agri-
cultural exports was greater than that
OF our country.
But II Is seen that other things were
not equal, and that therein Is 10 be
found the secret of Canada's discon-
tent. She had the best year in her his
tory in the matter of the quantity and
prices of her agricultural exports. and
yet her excess of exports over imports
was only 81 per cent, while the excess
scored by the United States was 100
per cent.
What caused this disparity? Manu-
lectures. Canada had very little 10
sell outside Of her foodstuffs. and her
imports offoreign merchandise showed
no decrease as compared with former
years. The United States, on the con-
trary, increased her exports of manu-
features alongside of her tremendous
output of farm products beyond all
previous records, and actually sold TO
foreign countries more OF manufac-
tured commodities than she bought OF
them by about s5O,00o.oo0. In the one
case sensible tariff system operated
TO augment the demand for domestic
products and to diminish the demand
for imported articles, and left us a
favorable trade balance of over s6i5,-

THE USE OF SHODDY.
AZ No Time Was Ii Greater Than Un-
der the wilson Biil-Increaso
Instead of Decrease.

There never was a time In the his
tory Of the wooden industry of this
country when the consumption OF
shoddy was as great az under the VIII
son bill. Contrary to every contention
OF the free wool advocate, the con-
sumption of shoddy increased while
the consumption OF wool decreased.
The reason for this seeming contradlc-
ton Is obvious. A narrow home mar

the country poor and only meagerly
employed, were forces which operated
20 create demand for the lowest kind
OF stuff conceivable. The imports of
wool which our contemporary places
before It's readers have no bearing
upon the issue which IL has raised, for
the large imports OF 1897 were stimu-
lated by the speculation promised In
the reimposition Of the wool duty. The
imports do not In any sense indicate
the consuming demand for wool. Tho
country Is using large quantity Of
shoddy to-day, and IL will continue to
use a large quantity until IL gets be-
yond the fatal influences OF the Will
son bill. The editor OF the Record
has studied tariff matters sufficiently
TO have given him more light and
guidance upon this question than his
article dicates.-Textile Manufac-
turers' Journal.

A fortunate Thing.

Those who have been so vigorously
arguing that the protective tariff sys-
tenn would ruin our foreign trade find
themselves, as usual, completely re-
futed by facts andexperience. Our ex-
ports are great beyond all precedents,
and II cannot even be said that this Is
due entirely 70 our grain exports TO
meet deficiencies abroad, for the state
ment alluded TO shows that we have,
for the period designated, exported
more manufactures than we have Inn
ported. The balance of trade being
40 immensely in favor OF the United
States accounts for the great inflow Of
gold. II is most fortunate for this
country that at this particular time
this has been the case, otherwise the
government might have been embar-
raised even more seriously thanit was

heroic figure of the age, and who united

of character. ] saw before me spare
figure, the head covered with short
black hair, long hooked nose that fell
over the upper lip, and sharp. pro-
truding chin, half hidden In beard
tinged with gray. His long curled
mustaches were white as snow. Under
his bushy eyebrows his keen, restless
eyes glittered like two beads, but for
the moment they seemed dilated with
a soft light, and there was an infinite
sadness in them as he looked round the
bloof field.

The king spoke with a strong southern
accent, and as he spoke leaned forward
and caressed Nine. de Beaufort's hand.

unknown madame of the outposts, who
had evidently found her way back TO
her friends. But IL was with a bitter
disappointment that I saw her In the

In attendance on her. Madame was
nothing TO me, thought, but could
not associate her with the fallen wom-
an who was the mistress OF the king.
