 !)T has been well said that expositions are the mile-stones 
 of progress, the measure of the dimensions of the pro- 
 ductive activity of the human race. They cultivate 
 taste, they bring nations closer to one another, and this pro- 
 motes civilization ; they awaken new wants and lead to an 
 increased demand. They contribute to a taste for art, and 
 thus encourage the genius of artists. 
 
 # 
 
 ^ 
 
 There are no more continents to discover, but there is 
 much to do to make both hemispheres the home of intelli- 
 gence, virtue and consequent happiness. To that end no one 
 material thing can contribute more than expositions, to which 
 are invited in a fraternal spirit all nations, tribes and people, 
 where each shall give and receive according to their respec- 
 tive capacities. The above extracts are from an eloquent 
 speech of the Hon. Thos. Palmer, president World's Colum- 
 bian Commission. 
 
 # 
 
 # 
 
 Almost without exception these Expositions havj been 
 industrially, artistically and financially successful. They 
 have influenced the nations in which they have been held in 
 no small degree. 
 
 # # # # ^ # 
 
 They have stimulated to renewed activity, have created a 
 generous rivalry, and have heralded a progress which would 
 not have come in 20 years in the ordinary course of events. 
 
 # 
 
 # 
 
 # 
 

 ^r Canada's Great Exposition will open up new avenues 
 of trade, and old ones will be broadened, and both will bring 
 " the Dominion millions of dollars and thousands of people,— 
 
 that will be the result to the commercial world. 
 
 # 
 
 * 
 
 # 
 
 As an institution of wide educational value, its effect will be 
 quite as great. 
 
 # 
 
 # 
 
 # 
 
 l^f New modes of life and action, new phases of art and 
 triumphs in science and industry will be brought before the 
 people of the Dominion in a form which will leave an indelible 
 impression.

 Taking the last three great Expositions, — Paris 1889,

 It reads like a fairy tale (no pun intended) to lind that an 
 Exposition in a State of one and a half millions of people, 
 thousands of miles from the great centres of population, should 
 have been so enormously successful

 ■•The fact seems marvelous in a time of general financial 
 distress, when all financial and industrial interests were suf- 
 fering from contraction, when a wave of distrust and disaster 
 was sweeping over the world, and the men behind the sound- 
 est of institutions were trembling for the future. This idea of 
 California's Exposition was launched and forced to a success- 
 ful issue.

 From it California has taken new life ; from it th. golden 
 State has become known all over the world ; every industry 
 within its borders has received encouragement, every element 
 in the well-being of the State has received a stimulus which 
 will be felt long after the Fair is only a memo'-3\

 What Paris, Chicago and California have done, Canada 
 will do in 1896. Not on so large a scale as Paris or the 
 World's Fair, for in the great maze of exhibits at Chicago it 
 was a physical impossibility to see them all. In such a maze 
 
9 
 
 the best was seriously at a disadvaiitaf,fe, and those who knew 
 the vakic of their own displays will understand that Canada's 
 Exposition will be more select in its character but quite as 
 International in its scope.

 All the advantages and experiences gained from the work- 
 ing of Paris, Cliicago and California's Lxpositions willenable 
 Canada's ]:xposition to ha\e the best results at the tninimuni 
 cost. 
 
 ;\ 
 
 And the pecuni ir\ results to the business community will 
 be ver\- great. I-'or instance, [)reparing the ground and con- 
 structing the buildings and the preparation of side-shows and 
 Concessionaires buildings, together with the installation of 
 exhibits, etc., will, prior to the opening, amount to a very large 
 sum, and will be i)rincipal!y spent in the city which shall have 
 the Lxposition ; aiu! in estimating the attendance at four 
 millions, this is far below what the writer believes will attend. 
 
 Pans iiad an atten<iance of over twenty-eight million ; 
 Chicago of over twenty-one million ; and California, far from 
 the centres of papulation, had 2i'^ nn'llion.

 In a city centrally situated and available for all the leading 
 railroads and steamboats, it is more likely to have twice the 
 number estimated, which at four millions is a ridiculously low 
 estimate.

 ^ Just think, if only four million people come to your city, 
 what enormous benefits to railways, steamers, tram-cars, cabs, 
 private vehicles and theatres !

 Just think of it, ye hotel proprietors, store keepers, mer- 
 chants, real estate agents, house agents,— four million of people,

 Take the small average of ten dollars each, spent by four 
 million of people, a total of forty million dollars distributing 
 benefits to all.

 And the best incentive of all should be the tact that the 
 promotion and consummation of Canada's Great Exposition 
 will do more in making known the Dominion's resources than 
 anything else has done during the last twenty years.
