"Our 'export trade, during the year ending Beptember 1, 1916, reached the grand | total of one billion and fifty-two mil- lions of doliary. Canada's total trade for the same period showed a gait of about 90%--mark that--within 10% of. doubling, the total trade of the \: previous twetve. months. ~ Thé estimated value of the agricul tural production of Canada's Western Provinces, during 1916, reached a total"of more than two. hundred and thirty-one millions of dollars. This great wealth was creaféd by a. rural population of only slightly more than three-quarters of million people.

According to this authority the wage-arning mechanics bought dots and saved money during tbe war period, while the clerks. teach- ere-amd others on a salary basic sul- fered. At the cloee of the war there was a rapid spread of enthusiasm for a con: tinuation of the so-called: prosperity. New enterprises were launched on every band;' speculation was rife. 'The returning soldier farmers mi- grated in large parties to fertile val leys tributary.-to the Mississippi. This broadening of the agricultural situation brought a demand for more rail mileage and something more than 15,000 miles were cou- structed in the West from 1865 to /1878. This work brought employ- ;Ment to thousands. The first annual report of the Commissioner of Labor. | published. in 1888, reviews this con- |weruction period,-as follows: "The gtimulation. to all industries resulting from the war, the specula: tive enterprises undertaken, the "ex- tension of credits, and the slacken. ing of poedegioe necessarily -caused ® reaction; but the period was. hard. lly spoken of-by business men: as one jof any particular: hardship.
