A grow,h il our foreign commerce

increase of our exports from S444, 0O0,-
900 in 1882 to 81, 227, 600, 900 in 1899 is
even more striking, but this growth
is insignificant when compared with
the growth of commerce of the United
States has doubled since 1872 and the
exports have trebled during that per-
iod. During the same time the ton
mage of vessels engaged In commerce
passing through the st. Mary's Falls
Canal increased from GA, 1856 register
ed tons in 1872 to 81, 95S,247 tons in
1898, the increase having been ovec.
1000 per cent, as against an increase
of 100 per cent in total foreign COM
merce and 200 per cent in exports. The
percentage of freight carried by Can
adian vessels, which in 1887 was seven
per cent of he total, was in 1885 only
% per cent. The value of Canadian
craft passing this point was in 1881
s., OS9, 400, and in 1898 So, 49l, 900; while
of American craft, which in 1887 was
-$l7, 6S4. $50, was in 1898, $45, l99, 800,
the value of Canadian craft having
increased less than % per cent, while
that Of American craft had nearly
trebled. With this increase in ton
MAGE and business comes an equally
striking decrease in freight rates, the
cost of transportation per ton per mile
having fallen from 2.3 mills in 1887
to 70 of one mill in 1898.

There is more catarrh in this section Of
the country, than all other diseases put to
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced 1t local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitutional
>di, ease, and therefore requires constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o.,

ket. 1t is taken internally in doses from ten
