PROVIDING ITS WANTS. statement that the United to sell largely to extent of over one The States Canada--to hundred and gestive enough. But the Syracuse Post-Standard re- lieves the general curiosity by explain- continues the twenty millions--is sug- ing what Canada's imports consists of. thus: Boots and shoes; $65,000 : binder tivine, £1,500,000; agricultural implements, $2,500,000; furniture, £441,000; hats, $840,000; paper, $I.- 337.000; hardware, $593,000; and the iron trade generally many millions of dollars. : This moves the Whig to remind that as manufactures in Canada are devel- oped there will be a marked and rapid decrease in all the items quoted. Of only one the United States have a monopoly, namely the binder twine, and as a result of a possible cinch upon the raw manilla. If it can: not control this, article, it has tried to do, it has not a hold upon any trade it can retain. This notable fact must be observed-- that there is a movement of Ameri can capital toward Canada, that it is seeking investment in this country and that sooner or. later there will be a different balancing in: the national ac- may as counts. : There was a tremendous drop in the export trdde of the United States last vear. A still greater drop is expected this vear. Canada is regarded envious- lv. by the Americans, and a well known commercial paper suggests that it may not be amiss to sce what can be done about reciprocity ! Canada has been buying too much across the way. But it is quickly get- ting into a position to aid and pro- vide for its requirements and depend less than heretofore upon the bounty and beneficence of its neighbors. ---- AN UNPOPULAR MEASURE. Some of the educationists now visiting Canada, on a tour of in- spection, say 'that the Education bill the Imperial government is passing will not be so much objected to" when it is better understood. The remark is mot assuring. The proposed its strongest oppon- eminent which legislation finds ents in the school districts of the old land where they were voluntary or board schools, or both, the experience with them makes it ce tain that the change of administration and, where is' quite unacceptible.

The Canadian Manufacturers' Asso- ciation, whi¢h met last week in Hali- fax, Hid not hit a popular key when it demands the abandonment of the British preference. This preference may not have complished all that was expected of it, but it did a great. deal towards developing the trade between Canada and Britain and in centreing atten- tion upon a condition of things that. is conducive to natural prosperity. The conservdtive party has never been reconciled to the British prefer- ence because it was not something em- anating from conservative sources. The party has demanded a quid pro quo, and has intimated that if this cannot be got the preference we have had better go. That is the substance of the Borden resolution, voted down in the commons, and"of the resolu- tion. which the Manufacturers' Asso- ciation has just passed. "Put briefly," says the Montreal Gazette, "what the manufacturers ask is that the customs duties shall be fixed at so high a figure that the re- ductions under the preferential clauses shall not affect the home market, by their encouragement , of imports. In other words, it is sought to nulify the preference by means." This, in the opinion of the Gazette, ould be adding hypocrisy to folly. Better for that there should be an honest and undisguised demand for, a higher tariff, though that de- mand would be certain to arouse the hostility of the west to a point that has not vet been reacked. Speaking on this subject lately, the Winnipeg Free Press took occasion to warn the easterners that there was a limit to the tariff evils, and that this limit had been touched. "The west," said our contemporary, "is doing its full duty to the east now; its orders ave keeping half the eastern factories and are giving the as they ac- seriously indirect running overtime, profits and it, is desirous manufacturers such never made before; of continuing to do business in a con- stantly increasing measure if the east- ern 'people will do the right thing as to quality and prices. But if the west- ern people have any influence, politi- cally and commercially--and we rather imagine they have--they will have something to say about this cool pro- position to compel them to pay more for goods than they are worth in or- der to fatten dividends for eastern manufacturers, who are already doing exceedingly well. From this it is evident that the de- protection is not well regarded, that it will receive small consideration in parliament. The abandonment of the British pre- ference now would be a serious mis- mand for more and take. ----n. _ EDITORIAL NOTES.

American Express Company a Loser--Agent Placed Under Ar- rest--Police Scent a Conspir- acy--Held up' by Three Men. Lousville, Ky, Aug. 18.--A special from Owensboro, Kv., says: The agent of the American Express company. at Fordsville, Ky., was robbed of 82S.- 000, Saturday night under peculiar circumstances. J. W. Boatner, who shipped money to Fordsville, is under: arrest at Irvington, and J.C. Sch- litzbaum, the agent of the company, is being held at Falls of Rough: Sev- eral days ago, 'a man, giving his name as J. V. Boatner of Memphis, I'enn,, appeared at the office of the American Express company at Dean- field, five miles from Fordsville, and wanted to express $2%.000 to the lat- ter point. Boatner took a receipt for it, and . then the agent remembered that he was allowed to ship only 85.- 000 at one time, and made him take the money back. Boatner kept the cash until last night, when it was sent to Fordsville by express. "It arrived late that night. The ex- press agent; it is said, informed a number of people-that the money had arrived. It was not put in the bank, for Mr. Boatner sent word that he would be there early in the morning. Next morning, Schlitzbaum turned up at Falls of Rough, ten miles away. said he was held up; robbed and kid- napped during the night. He first de- cided to stay at the depot all night. he said, but finally got nervous, and started to the hotel, which is only one square away. Between the two places he wag set upon and robbed of the money by three men. The express peo- ple and the officers believe that the whole affair .was a conspiracy to de- fraud the American Express company out of $28,000. Boatner is now under arrest at Irvington, Ky.

AN OLD CUSTOM RENEWED. . -- Exocursionists Allowed to Spend Some Time at the Park. There - were not nearly enough seats to accommodate the crowd that boarded the steamer, America on Sat- urday afternoon for a trip among the Thousand Islands, notwithstanding the rain shower which broke over the city aiter two o'clock. An old custom was renewed, and those who wished to-get ashore at the Thousand Island Park were allowed to do so, being given an hour and a half at that favorite sum- mer resort, while the America pro- ceeded to Alexandria Bay, and re- turned over the same route, instead of crossing over to the Canadian chan- nel, and returning home by- that course. Calling again at the Park at 7:30 o'clock, the America steamed homeward, crossing over past Gan- anoque, and running up close along Howe Island. It was a perfect moeon- lit night, and the sail was one of the most pleasant. It is hoped that the same course will be followed on each succeeding Saturday by the peo- ple's favorite old America.

Mr. Boldt's summer residence is Heart Island. and his boat hous is at the mouth of Mia creek; just op- posite, on Wellesley island. "The pro- ject is to dredge on is creek from the rear of the boat house and con- struct a canal across the island to Lake Waterloo or Lake of the Isles, as it is more commonly known. canal will bg seventy feet wide and ten feet deep and will cost 100.000. The contract for the work was award- ed to Daley & Hannon, of Ogdens- burg. who have commenced work. Al- though not intended for a ship canal, to accommoaate large boats, its depth of ten feet will allow the pas- sage of all yachts of ordinary' draft. Aiter continuing up Mud creek to its source, the canal will branch off into Lake Waterloo. The easiest route to deepeut along. most of its length. This will greatly add to the work al- ready under way on Mr. Boldt's pro- perty. 3 ' FARRED AND FEATHERED. Mount Morris Citizens. Punish Wo- man a Second Time.
