Riassunto

Excerpt from The Resources and Rapid Development of the Dominion of Canada: Compiled From Recent Governmental and Other Reliable Statistical Matter, Including Reports of the Recent Colonial Conference and Other Particulars of Interest

We realize, in undertaking this venture, that we have assumed a task of more than ordinary importance and responsibility, but one from which at this time and for such purpose as Canadian trade promoters we derive a special pleasure, not only from the fact that it affords such a marked opportunity for directing attention to the wonderful progress. Prosperity and satisfactory condition of our Dominion, but also that there is such a favorable disposition and desire on the part of residents in the sister colonies to be informed as to what we produce and manufacture that may be exchanged with them for their products, and which manufactures and products to such a large extent they have been obtaining hitherto, from countries outside the British Empire, foreign to them in almost every particular.

We regard our venture as specially opportune, following as it does so closely upon the Colonial tour of our then Honorable Minister of Trade and Commerce, but now as a mark of appreciation since bestowed by Her Majesty for services so signally rendered in this connection, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Premier of the Dominion, the Visit of the representative residents of the sister colonies to our Dominion (the outcome of such tour, and overture), and the notable Colonial Conference at the City of Ottawa.

Consequently, we are of opinion that under such auspicious circumstances, with manufactures and products, steamship and railway facilities, banking, press and all other essential institutions and departments, second to none in the world, we can reasonably claim, With the existing favorable disposition of the residents in our sister colonies and the enterprising spirit of our people, that it requires but such practical reliable detail as we herein set forth to secure to Canada at least a reasonable preportion of the vast trade of the sister colonies, and a larger portion of the enormous commerce of an Empire upon which the sun never sets.
