After a long struggle aâ€" gainst inexorable facts that will nut down, even the most pessimistic beâ€" lievers in the Fosterian prophesies of blue ruin are admitting that the country never was so prosperous. The | splendid grain crops in Manitoba and the Northwest, the rapidly deveioping mining industries of Ontario and British Columbia, the fast growing export business with the Old Country, both in natural products and manufactured goods, the increasing proportions of fruitâ€"growing in several provinces, the swelling tide of immmgration, are tangible and very substantial evidence of the marvellous change that has been ‘ evolved in the condition of the country ‘ in two short vears. or reâ€" Cause and Effect ( Of course they are naturally anxious“ to let themselves down as easily as possible and while foreed to admit the\ improvement, attributed it to the wise, statesmanlike, pure, and patriotic ad ministration of the present Governâ€" ment‘s predecessors. _ They do not, however, stop to explain certain deâ€" tails of that policy which so many people actually believe was z\g:\iust\ the country, rather than helpful to its development. The beneficial e!'fecls.‘ for instance, of extortionate railway. rates, the tyingâ€"up of vast tracts of country by railways wh hold thein for improved prices and seriously retard settlement, the shackling of nearly every line of natural trade by unnaturâ€" al restrictions that hampered the interâ€" Man. course of commerce between adjacent | by sections of the community, the hinderâ€"| je ing of wholesome competition in the | tl great matter of transportation by the | a granting of monopolistic privileges to|e favored carrying corporations ;â€"these | t« are a few samples, taken at random, | s1 of the wise and farâ€"seeing policy of the | t Macdonald and Tupper Administraâ€"| s tions that are alleged to bave brought| t about the present erit of prosperity. | a As our old friend Sam Slick would reâ€"| t miark. â€"this must be meant ‘sarkastic." | 1 Two ways of doing it. & A comparison of the methods adopted | by the two parties in opening up a new & country is not without interest and significance. Twenty â€"five years 14§0, or more, it fell to the lot of the Goyern | ment of the day to formulate a policy ; for the opening up of the vast tervitories \‘ between Lake Supericr and the Rockies and in spite of the oft repeated warn:â€" |\ ings of the Liberal Opposition, the | members of whom severely criticised the policy of the Government, pointing : | out its objectionable features, which have provyen even worse than was thcn‘ anticipated, and offering a\wrnativcl suggestions which â€"experience â€" has, proved were wise ones, the comm-\" was saddled with a tremendous exâ€" penditure running into tens of millions of dollars, while the newly developed country was loaded with disabilities t‘ which even to.day are weighing it * | down.
