The year s rom the London advertiser. All authorities unite in hat there should be a decrease in import ions As reckless importing and Over trading Las been the main cause of the mercantile rouble by which Canada has been oppressed. To is not unlikely that the Trade returns of Icet year which include the importations of the autumn of 1875, will show the Desir d falling off. For the year ending june 30th, 1875, imports declined Only from to year before. Experts show a Diminu Tion of which May be to some extent accounted for by the bad state of the lumber Trade and the Low prices of Dairy products. The Small amount of exports has been an assisting cause to keep zip he depression. It will hardly be argued that any legislative action could have promoted greater production of lumber or Heese or could have compelled foreigners to pay better prices for these products. A a Creaso in the Volumn of Trade amounting to fora single year is quite a re action for the steady expansion that preceded it. Very Likely a change in the other direction will soon set in. The duties collected during the twelve months ending lust june amounted to against for the year before. Thus Revenue has increased while Trade 1ms diminished. The change of the Tariff by which goods formerly entered at 15 per ent. Are now charged has been the Means of sustaining the Revenue. Without that change it is evident that there would liar been a diminution of receipts from duties and very possibly a deficit in the Revenue generally. Dox is lying ill at Durango.
