The enormous`ex- penditures made by the Dominion in recent years for improvements to `and safeguards for this route, do not seem to have been givenvdue consideration by the British underwriters. The consequence is that shipping to Amer- ican ports gets a better` insurance rate than that to our Atlantic coast. This is a prime consideration with ship owners and consignees of car- goes. Successive governments of Canada have been very energetic in improving the St. Lawrence route and in adopting every device that would add to its safety. a A gratifying I I I Canada. s Trade Growing In discussing trade questions it is interesting to note that Canada s trade is increasing fast. ` Exports. for the twelve months ending `with A'ug-. ust, aggregated over one billion dol- lars as against imports of $891,891,- 035. There was a steady increase of both exports.and imports to and from Britain but the trade with the United States is still very much higher than that with the gold land. In spite of the Fordney tariff Canadian exports to the United States increased as compared with the previous year. This may give an excuse to the agitators across the line who are now clamor- ing for a still higher tariff against Canada s agricultural products. In View of the election campaign in the United States, the preliminaries of which are already under way, this country and the Empire in general may expect some knocks and many suggestions for legislation to put fur- ther crimps in their export trade with the Republic.. But we can take these knocks more philosophically than we used to do. . 1 I I I ;uuau.'u'ut`u and unoourrnt." There is` !the' smack of an election slogan in ehthese phrases.
