TIE CONSTELLATION CONGRESS.

Few public gatherings in this or any land have
beer more perfectly instinct with practical san

with what we may cali material morality. ideal
ism and sltruism Of the best type. than the Ma
tional Conservation Congress. which met at
Seattle last week. What its concrete outcome
msy be is not Yet peroeptihle and does not i'm

that such a congress is held and that the ideas
for which il stands are peryading and influence

C4yADA'S GAIN OUR LOSS.

The migration Of immigrants produces no small
part of the passenger fife of railroads and as
every new arrival in tho country presumably
becomes a producer in one field or another, the
natural assumption is that immigration also
means freight business for the transportation
companies. Yet one railroad man of distinction
comes out strongly for quality rather than guam
tity in immigration. Speaking at a dinner in
Winnipeg day or two ago. Mr. James J. Hill
advised the public of Western Canada not 70 try

He notes with approval the remarkable devel-
opment Of the Canadian North-est. and believes

ton He calls attention TO the fact that large
numbers of men from the Western States are
entering the Canadian Northwest with from FIVE
thousand 10 twenty thousand dollars each. men
who will make as much progress in one year as
a European would in ten years"
II is unfortunate that the United States is not
in a position To take advantage Of the advice of
Mr.. Hill. The settler from the Western States
who removes 10 Canada carries with him not
only money and ambition. but respect for law and

OUR TRADE WITH CUBA

A Cuban magazine, Cuban Opinion" which
cannot he credited with overpartiality for the
United States, complies a gratifying exposition
treaty upon commerce between the two countries
This is introduced with review of commercial
conditions and tendencies during the five years
between the Spanish war and the establishment
OF reciprocity. In that period Cuban purchases
from the United States steadily declined, I'm both
actual amount and in proportion to the whole
volume of Cuban imports The decrease was
from S29.1s1.7l7. or 43.7 per cent in 1899 10
S25,703lo4, or 4O5 per cent, in 1903 AT the
end OF the latter year the reciprocity treaty was
made, and Immediately there was an increase i'm
Cuban imports from the United States which
has since been maintained. Thus in 1904 they
were $780, 200. or 42.7 per cent in 1905 they
were S43,lfs!OoO. or 454 per cent in 1906 they
were S47 ,G02.4 400. or 1876 per cent, and In 1907
they were s51. 800. sos, or 49l per cent. Later
figures are not given. but il is TO be believed
that the tendency Of the four years cited has
been and is being maintained.
These ngures suggest a complete rindication
Of the reciprocity arrangement between the two
countries. so far as il goes and of the arguments
Of those who against persistent opposition urged
lis adoption. For 1t is perfectly obvious that
this great Increase Of our exports TO C,uba
years, is of substantial value 10 this country and
IL Is no less clear that il is also advantageous
TO Cuba, since that island would certainly NOT
make it's purchases OF US IL IL could no, do 81
more cheaply or more satisfactorily than else
