In 1878, the aaaeaaed value of Montreal for 1879 waa $66,000,000, and in 1879 for 1880 It waa $64,600,000. The answer given to enquiry aa to the cauae of thia drop ia that '■ real estate waa at that time and had been for some yeara, very much de- preased in values,and values were accordingly marked diwn." Take Toronto. The value (or aaaeatment purposes in 1B78 waa over $19,000,000, and ill 1879 it waa $49,750,000,— an increase of only $700,000. For 1886 it was $I:i,SOO,000 and for 1887 aa above given, showing an in- crease of $11,000,000 In the comae of twelve montba under the i,ew tariff, aa against $700,000 in a year uuder Ibe old tariff. Hamilton in 1876 had ai' aaaeased value of $14,400,000 and two yeaia later of $16,200,- 000— an increase of $400,000 a year. In 1886 its increase waa nearly $1,200,000 over 1886, or doable aa much in one year under tbe Na- tional Policy aa it had under the old tariff. An examination of tbe osnessmeut returua pabliabed during October and Novemlwr of last year (1686), showed that In every city and town in the Dominion the value of prop- erty and the number uf iuhabitauts bad in- creased during the year very considerably and far beyond tbe iniu and decay period of the old tariff! Tbe comparison between tbe years of tbe old tariO and tbe yeara of the new, in every iuatance, abowed stagnation or alow growth under tbe old Oartwright tariff, and rapid development under the National Policy. Taking thirteen citiea, fairly repre- aentatlve of the condition of the whole Dominion, the value for aaaeaameut in 1886 for 1887 waa, in round numbera, $20,000,000 over that ot tho previoua year, without any increaae In tbe rate of aaaeaameut. Take the city of Montreal. In 1878 there were 241 bouaea built. Population did nut outatrip thia rate of building it: aome yeara. Tbe city waa engaged in tliliog up tbe bouaea vacated during tbe diatreaafui period of tbe old tariff. In 1884, however, tbe num- ber of new bouaea waa ai7 ; In 1886 It waa 41T, and in 1886 over 1,000. In Toronto the value of new bulldiuga erected In 1881 waa $1,300,000, and in 1886 It was $3,000,000.
