ExSheriff Scott. of Wayne. who has

In his last report the treasurer asked
the legislature to SO amend the law as
to compel county commissioners to
make prompt settlements with sheriffs.
and giving the state auditor authority
to force quick settlement. The legls-
lature failed to act on this request and
now the trouble with Scott shows how

Canada.s Trade and Ours.

We Justly exult in our commerce.. II
has attained enormous proportions, anu
is still growing. We stand today IN the
foremost rank of commercial nations.
But we must remember that we are a
very large nation. We are the most
pOpulous of all the highly civilized ma
tons of the world, and therefore ought
to have the largest commerce. Our e2-
ulation should, however, be moderated
by the reflection that, IN proportion 10
our size, our commerce is not the larg-
est, nor any other near it. and that II IS
not growing nearly so last as thdl oI
some other nations. In Dotn OF THESE
particulars we are far outstripped by
our pride, but it is nevertheless d Iact
that Canada's foreign is pro-
p~ortionately much larger than ours ana
is growing much faster.
Canada foreign trade has more than
doubled in the seven years 1S96-19O3,
! while it has takeA ours twenty-four
! years, from 1879 to IS, to do so. Hers
! increased in those seen years by more
than 1O3 per cent, while in the same
| time u increased by less than As per
cent. So much for rate of growth, in
| which Canada is evidently beating US
nv more than two OF one. Now for
relative magnitude at the present time.
Csnada's trade in the last fiscal year
g a $467, 637, O49, which, reckoning her
poulation at $3.50 O00, was $S1 a head.
Ours was $2,445, SS9, 552, which, reckon
ing our population at so, 600, 900, was less
than $31 a head. That is a humiliating
showing for us. Nor Is it much i'm
proved when We consider merely the eX-
pert trade. For Canada's exports We're
ST. a head and ours less than $lS a
head. SO Canada's commerce, in pro-
portion to her size, is between W and
three times as large as ours,and is
growing more than twice as fast.
Reasons for this may be plenty as
b~!ackberries. We lave no doubt many
will be forthcoming. But reasons can
not change the facts. Remedies would
be more to the point. Perhaps it may
be we'll, however, at the -lsk of dam
nable iteratiOn," to observe once more
thar Canada's trade is increasing as
the trade of the port of New York
is decreasing, at the same time anC
with some suggestive similarity OF eX'
tent. 1t may also be recalled that these
processes date chiefly from the devel'
opment of the Canadian canal system
ara the neglect of h canal system
and the neglect of the canal system

should thus be gaining at the eXpens
OF New York. 1t will be profitable, /
it be passible, to a k some practice

in commerce.. as indeed we sincerel
hope she will, she will no longer do s
