.IX and familiar with, the new system be fore it is mate the legal stan-| 8 dard .of weights © and measures, Nothing has been said officially .as to whether the government will introduce a measure this session to institute, a quinquennial : census, but its value and many and France have adopted the quin:.guennial counting of heads with numet- ous statistical ramifications valugble in\u2019 ethnical.mental, moral, physiesl, reli gious and other calenlations.In :Canada, at \u2018its present rate of growth; and the diverse populations thai are now.attracted to its shores, fem years is, tou.long to remain in comparative 1gnUT- ance concerning these things.Another consideration in favor of a quingnen- nin] census is that it would hold\u2019 the census organization together and tend to keep\u2019 it-at the high-water mark of eff ciency.As it is,\" with a decennial \u201cCent sus, practically a new organization.bat to be established every tem years, W ith its inevitably heavy\" expenses and.inital \u2018inefficiency.There.have been some sugges: -{ tions- made that the government might) j do a good turn to the manufactürers af: if gave then cheap\u201d fnel for their - | maces, instead of increasing the.pe tha coal \u2018was admitted to the: free.list.be: cause we have none of his fuel in Can: ada, but the tax on soft coal is\u201d sidff, maintained, although not a ton of Nova Scotia or New Brunswick coal finds its way as far west as Toronto.The manufacturing and transportation interests moral support of the public in any movement to force the .government to take\u2019 the \u2018import duty of 53 cents a torr off goft-coal: No doubt as early & date-às- \u201cpossible will be chosen to report to \u2018the, House upon the surveys of the route of: the Grand Trunk Pacific.It is said that the survey in\u2019 New Brunswick has te.vealed a most practical route, while the survey in the Peace.river district north of \u2018Edmonton has reported \u2018against that country in the sense of Mr: Macoun\u2019s evidence in the House, of Commons last | session.The country will be most eager | to get all the facts relating to the ronië | as early as possible.It has been decided that Mr.R.F.Sutherland, North- Essex, shall-be the new Speaker of the House \u2018im succession to Mr.Belcourt.The choice of Mr.Sutherland was rather a \u2018 surprise.as- be has only been in\u2019 the l\u2019House since 1900: Mr.Sutherland,\u2019 \u2018how-j ever, seems to have made himself popu Jar and his election will, no douht, be | very pleasing \u2018to the Presbyterians.at] Ontario, as he is a.prominent member of the Presbyterian Church.The elec] tion :of Mr.Charles Marcil as Deputy |: Speaker seems to have been universally | approved, and has given.much gratifica- | tion to his numerans newspaper friends.To-morrow, Earl Grey will: gpen Pare]: Hament- with all: due ceremony, and, jus, &0 ioay 2 ite\u2019 close.© \u2014\u2014\u2014 The coucus \u201cof Conservative.BSD and members of the Honse of Commons;

once in, needs a revolution to \u2018turn it.eut; but \u2018practical poli- thes! prevails with us: sufficiently to give the party in power an enormous advantage.Conservative meetings held in this city antecedent to ihe elections, showed that the eld spirit is still glowing; and, if properly led, the party purg- od by defeat of certain undesirable ele- merits, may become strong enough to ful- Hil its functions with efficiency.But in addition to .the purging it has gone through, it will need to find a better policy than that which was rejected at the late general election.The Liberals, changéd the.aspect -of their programme several times during their eighteen years in Opposition, till the hour 4nd the man came together and they at last succeeded.At the end of the present parliamentary term the Conservatives will have been thirteen years in opposition.If they do not make better progress: in the comiug time than they made in the past, the prospect of a.change of popular feeling in their favor will be far from encouraging.What the party most requires is the infusion of new blood, and plenty of it.Its Jbresgnt mediocrity is shown by the fact t that Mr.Borden seems to be about the only man with both the ability and the attractiveness necessary for the leadership.It is not altogether possible to judge a leader -fim] When in opposition.Neither the country\u201d §: lor the Liberal party fully knew Sir Wilfrid Laurier till he had administra~ tion in his hands.Mr.Borden may yet recognized, by those, at least, to whom | his Bourbon protectionism looks like either ignorance or fatuity.COTTON CRIES AGAIN.The cotton manufacturers, or, af least, some of them, bave made an early demand upon the government for increased duties on white cottons.: The present duty amounts to-25 percent ad valorem in the case of the United tates; \u201cto 16 2:3 percent in the case of the United Kingdom, and to 31 14 percent in the case of Germany.Some of the shirt | and collar manufacturers are willing to support an increase of duty on white cottons if, at the same time, the duty is incréäsed on the goods they-make.The - duty on shirts and collars.is-now 35 per-, eent in the case of the United States; |.23 1-3-percent under the preferential | tariff with Great Britain, and 43 3% percept in the case of \u2018Germany, including the surtax.The cotton men and the nghirt men are agreed.that these.duties! kate mot sufficient fo keep their indus \u2018tries in life; though, for that matter, they geém to be deing very well.In so.\u201csaying they imply that their business as \u2018compared with the: same businesses care \u2018ried'on'in the countries named is carried, on: at a loss equivalent to these: \u2018duties, or, at least, the lowest of them: \u2018So that to cover\u2019 this loss and give them\u2019 \u2018also a profit, they want still higher bo- :nuses out of Canadian pockets.\u2018mand higher duties; : on the ground that \u201cshareholders dividende, that à good deal \u2018of their apparent capital\u2018is\u2018water.Years- \u201cago, \u2018when the cotton companies Were.\u201cmakitig large profits, they were afraid- to.\u2018declare what they earned in the shape of dividends, because, if they had dome 80, \u2018they expected that the\u2019 government: of the day would bave found it: \u2018necessary to lower \u201cthe: duties, .Public.- ofinion- would have urgently insisted upon sucha redueti nD.To avoid any such demand, the companies increased their capitalization for \u2018the; benefit.of their shareholders, In the case of the néw merger which ig te.]- be.known- ag the Dominioñ Textile Company, there \u2018wilt be several \u2018millions \u201cof \u2018added water, upon.which i proposed]: Ato pay sit or Seven percen .If there] The | | Canadian people: \u2018do.uot\" forget, however, \u2018when the cotton and woollen men de-} théy are not earning enough to pay: their | ! should at any time be found any difficulty in doing fhat, in the future, the; \"ery wilk go up again with wearisome reiteration, that Canadian companies cannot compete against foreign mauufactures.It would be more trae to zay that Cana- | dian water caunot compete against.foreign cash \u2018and progressiveness.A sin- | gular thing about this agitation for higher duties is that it-js practicaily directed solely against the Britisn preference, and by the very same men who keep up the shout for \u2018impecial \u2018preferencial trade.\u2019 The woollen men got the net (uty raised against Great Britain from 23 1-3 percent to 30 percent, while the duties .upon goods from other countries were not changed.© Neither will the cotton men get any alteration made in the United States and German duties, and their only hope is to get the British preference di- ted.In the case of woollens, however, an influential body of traders has.tows the government how \"mjust and absurd in many cases.has been the effdet of their concessions to the manufacturers.It is tg be 2 hoped.that\u201da consideration of all the circumstances in the case of the cotton companies will convince the gov-=| ernment that the protection they now.receive is adequate.| \u2014 .\\ THE BANK OF COMMERCE: \u201cYesterday, the shareholders of the Canadian Bank of Commerce celebrated the: thirty-eighth annual birthday of the bank, which took place, as to date, on November 30 last, and they had reason for much: satisfaction.The earnings of the bank were very good indeed, amounting to $1;124,973, or very-nearly 13 percent on\u2019 the paid-up capital of $8,700,600.With \u2018the $165,559 brought forward- from profit and loss account, there was.$1,: 200,532 available for distribution, and of this two dividends at the rate of 7 percent per annum required $609,000; $327, 806 has been written off bank premises; $25,000 has been transferred \u2018to.pension fund; $500,000 has been transferred to- rest account, bringing: the reserve up to $3,500,000, or over 40° percent of the paid- pp capital; and a balance of 428,726 has been carried forward to profit and loss, During the past year the bank bas open: ied six\u2019 branches in the west, and will iscon open another, and as already am nounced it: has been decided to increase ithe paid-up : capital\u201d of the bank to ten 'millions.The statement shows that, as |compared -with 1903, the déposits of the {bank increased by $7; 67 5,000, bringing the \u2018total up to $70, ,000, 000 odd, but: less than.in, the.ordinary: current Tans and dig: counts, which shows, said in \u201chig interesting -presidéntial ad: ani that the demands of mérchants nd manufactures are mot increasing as rapidly as in other recent years\u201d This \u2018has been shown also in our analysis of \u2018the\u2019 monthly statements \u2018of the thirty: four chartered banks.The address of Mr.B.E.Walker, \u2018general manager of the BanE\u201dof Commerce, is always looked forward to with interest as a valuable contribution to the country\u2019s financial statistics afd prospects,\u201d and also\u2019 the conditions of affairs abroad.We com mend Mr.Walker's address in this issue.to the earnest\u2019 attention: of our readers.It deals with the various provinces, and: Canada as à whole, graphieslly and.in considerable detail: Mr.not find every detail favorable, but his | conclusion is that \u2018Our outlook was never ;* before so large.in scope and so hope \u2018ful;

the: fruit crgp was, on the whole, satisfactory in quantity, and fairly so in quality, but prices have been very \u201cunremunerative indeed.In fishing, an industry sq important that the lack of intelligent: interest in it by inland Canadians is deplorable, the results gre | somewhat better than last year, Lut not what they have been in the past.In cod-fishing there is an improvement over \u2018last year, but the catch was still quite unsatisfactory, this \u2018being attributed.by some to lack of bait.The handling ef the fish trade by the ex- i forters shows quite a renewal of vigor.hen we\u2019 consjder that the fisheries of \"Nova, Scotia\u2019 produced, in\u2019 1993, about two-thirds as \u2018much \u2018wealt} as the coal of Nova Scotia, twice as much ns\" iron \u2018and\u2019 steel, two and a balf tiniés as much as\u2019 the forest, only a trifle less than, the field crops, end as much as the orehaid, the dairy, live stock, wool and eggs «combined, is it not -destrable that, | we shoëü]d recognize more fully the ne céseity of conserving and increasing by every \u2018means in our power this great source of national wealth?In lumber, prices for deals have fallen Badly, while products suitable for the United States and.South America have done well.In \u2018consequence of the drop.in \u2018deals, large stocks will be held over, and an attempt is being made to lessen the/new cut by about one-half., In.coal suming, the large output of recent years has been maintained with a moderate increase, and.prices have continued to be eatis- tory.\u2018In-most lines of manufacturing the volume is not lessened, and business continues to be satisfactory, especially with the large establishments which look to Canada as a whole! for In some of these \u2018the volume of business last year was ithe greatest ever attained.« À In the important industries of i and steel, great\u2019 progress has been niade lin lessening the cost of production;
