DOMINION DAY. = -- As Canadians celebrate the fifty-eighth anniversary of the birth of the Dominion, they may well be proud of the progress which their country has made. We have grown accustomed to the gauging of national devel- opment in terms of material growth--the visible evidence afforded by {ndustrial, commercial and financial expansion. That i¥ the 'world's standard ,and, while we should all be agreed that such evidences are less significant than the spiritual forces which alone exalt a nation, we accept the test as representing the yardstick which others would use. When the union of the four provinces--Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick-- tool place in 1867, Canada was but emerg- ing from the crudeness of¥pioneer days Communication was slow and uncertain. Agriculture was overwhelmingly the chief industry. The evidences of newness were everywhere to be seen. There were relatively few tacfories. We were not exactly in pur swaddling clothes, but we did not realize either our strength or resou We were timid. The spirit ot daring had not stirred our veins. W# were still very much attached to the land. There may have been some who had a vision of the Canada that was to be bullt on the foyndations of the new confederacy; but they did not control the aspirations of the common people. At one glance we get a view of the expansion that has taken place since 1867, when we see what has happened in the field of transportation. At Confederation we had 2,270 miles of rallway, chiefly operated by the pioneer Grand Trunk. That name should be graven deeply in the records, lest we forget the service that sturdy English company rendered to us in the infancy of our nationhood. Twenty years later we had 12,163 miles of line. The Canadian Pacific had been bullt For many reasons the construction of our first transcontfhental railway marks a pivotal epoch in our national history To-day we have, in round figures, 40,000 miles of railway. In 1868, the first year of Coninetution, the Dominion had a total external trade of $119,791,879, of whith $52,701,720 consisted of ex- ports. Last year our foreign commerce had a total of $1,961,920,164, and our exports had a value of $1,058,663,297. This latter fact epitomizes | our growth as a trading people. Fifty-eight years ago we sold abroad but a few dollars worth of manufactures. Last year we sent out $364,215,681 worth of fully manufectured articles, and $150,957,734 worth of partly manufactured. In those two facts we read the story of our industrial development, which has been ome of the outstanding features of our national life as a Dominion. 3 As there has been no outbreak of the foot and mouth disease in Hng- ¢ [land since May 7th, the Australian federal government proposed to per- mit the resumption of the importa tion of cattle from Great Britain. Poli of 3 Or. Preaier Gives Adéessin Lodon The Dominjon was broadened by the bringing in of Prince Edward Island and British Columbia in 1870. "With the latter event came the needs for and the dream of a transcontinental railway. It remained but a hope until the completion of the Canadian Pacific in 1885, and from that dhy onward a new Canada began to live and have its being. The great North-West was opened up for settlement To-day the western provinces hold a population of two millions and a half of people--virile, ambitious and prosperous. The development of Western Canada has been the salient social and political fact of our life as a Dominion We miss, however, the main potentialities of our nationhood when we look only at our growth in material weslth Msny thousands of men are living who can clearly remember our birth as a Dominion; aud they |" only can realize how great and vital has been our advancement in all | that makes for true strength.
