in water borne goods baa also been very great.

There hat been an increase in six years of the National Polioy of 44 per cent, in the
ooMting carrying trade. This has been participated in by all the Maritime ProTlncea and
by the Lake ports, giving employment to saiiora and laborers generally along tha wharrea.
It Indicates also the great growth of inter-provinoial trade.
The ocean borne freight is dirldad into that coming into Canada and that going ont.
It Is also dWided into tons measnrement and tons weight. For the parposMi of the present
laTestlgftUoa it will only be necessary to gtre the tons weight and torn ufMnnd togstksr.

It will be seen that the yearly averaje of the National Polioy years is considerably
greater than that of the old tariff years. The general prosperity of the country is thus plainly
indicated. Thu values both 01 goods imported and goods exported are lower duriox recent
years. Bat so far as the labor of the cruntry Is concerned there ha^ been more work for all
class** of workman interested in both our export and onr Import trade, daring the National
PoUa7 period than onder th* old tarifl.
