The meeting then adjourned. The place in which I stand reminds me that I owe a debt to you which I should be most ungrateful did I not discharge. The friendliness and consideration which placed ime in the chair of this body has laid me under an obligation, and I hasten to avail myself of the first mements of our meeting to thank you for the courtesy which has placed nie in this position. I am sorry that I cannot congratulate you u&): the state of business matters in our minion being as we should wish. In comâ€" mon with much of the rest of the world, we are in a condition of depression. It is fruitless to spend time in Seploring what is Yut ; be it our aim to gather from the feld of defeat a harvest of wisdom and. experience. Shall we not say the truth when we admit that to a great degree this state of cqommercial dullness has been brought about by ourselves. ‘The compliâ€" ment is the more appreciated from the consideration that it was offered in my absence. I have been but slightly able, through my distance from Montreal, to -m:g to the duties of the position ; but that want has been fully supplied through the kindness of Mr. Andrew Robertson, who has given his unremitting attention ‘ to the interests of the Board. _ I have not faltered in the opinion, formed at the i~>, | of the advantages which these gatherings of the commercial and manufacturing bodies are fitted to confer. They tend to the obliteration of sectional and narrow viewg and: to the promotion of a largeâ€" mincred liberality in iooking upon public questions. We become considerate toâ€" wards the views and opinions of others, and tolerant of their claims. in our indiâ€" vidual capacity we follow, and legitimately follow, our individual interests. In the Local Board, we rise one step higher, but hereâ€"we stand on a more elevated plain, and take in objects which have for _ the _ sphere of _ their inâ€" fluence the whole Dominion. How broad and comprehensive is the grasp, and how farâ€"reaching the interests which we are accustomed to consider in this body may be illustrated by referring to one only of the subjects to which this Board has given its attention in the t. 1 refer to the subject of canals. l?:on the right policy in respect to this subject â€"upon securing the best development of the canal system of this country, depend, in the near future, th¢ great and imporâ€" tant question whetlief the canal surplus of the Westâ€"the gréat| stretch of find between us and the Rvo?ky Mountainsâ€" shall find their outlet to the ocean by our own river St. Lawrence and its canals. or by o‘ber channels of transportation in the neighbouring country ; fnd the question receives added nignificu*oe from the conâ€" sideration of the fact that two other sources of large supply are disputing with us the supremacy in supplying the old Etm)})un countries with the staif of life. I refer to California and Australia, the latter of which countries has just recently developed a startling capacity for the proâ€" duction of grain. In view of these facts, the cheapening of the passage to the sea is most important, and the perfecting of the canal system should receive the deepâ€" est consideration, and be carried out as fast as the financial position of the country will aflnma even to the extent of _ that channel which will make _ Nova _ Scotia an _ island.

I am glad to know that our meeting is to be attended by a number of delegates from the National Board of Trade of the United States, and I am very happy to have the pleasure of seeing a number of delegates at present with us Jur rela tions with that Board have been of the most cordial and pleasaut description,and I am sure you will accord to our visitors all the courtesies of this Board. I am aware that there are subjects, touching the interests o‘ the two countries, upon which a considerable differenee of opinion exists, and aware also that subjects will be discussed here which will incidentally lead to touching upon some of these differences. In referring to them subâ€" jects, I shall feel glad if our own dele: gates will bear in mind that we bave had our views to a large degree adrocated and favoured by the Pnuemon forming the National Board of the United States. I do not recollect, in the past, any expresâ€" sion of an unfavourable nature that has been made by the gentlemen of that Board. Will this Board bear with me if L requost in an special manner that this be borne in mind, and thet in debatin; these questions any reference to the relations between the two countries, fut or present, _ may be spoken of in a frank, generous and cordial spirit and not with asperity or heat of feeling. It is to be remembered that the questions are compassed about with diflonllx, that they are important to the last de, and that the calmest and best wel:m words and sentiments should be used in discussion, or referring to them, and this for the interests of both parties. _ I am proud to ndu'iio;,ml;vindmung' & continued confidence in the Board that a Shall I go one step further?

I repeat I make this remark in no improper spirit, but with . a view to to the best interests of the country. Is the derangement of our affairs not the natural reaction of a condition of unâ€" due stimulus and excitement? We have engaged in too l?e enterprises and been too ambitious. ho shall decide where is the true line at which enterprise beâ€" comes recklessness ; and fix the, mean at which we should pause. We cannot fail to acknowledge thatitoo great a spirit of enterprise and rewfxing out to do, too much has brought our calamities upon us In stating the cause, the remedy is unâ€" described. That remedy may be epitom: ized in one word, moderation, moderate in our undertakings and endeavour to keep our commerce and our production within bounds.; THE TIM EB8, OTTAWA, ~WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1876 smelting works shall be allowed a bonus per tou on pig, railroad or other irons manufactured by them from native ore.
