end for many years. They often had to encounter great opposition in 
the earlier stages of their measures, but the results have fully justified 
the soundness of their policy. It is satisfactory to find that in the 
island itself full credit is now given to these men. Indeed their greatest 
memorial is the new Jamaica, with its extended railways, its network of 
telegraph wires, and the renewed life and activity which have been called 
forth by their efforts. ere is no more striking cá of the poten- 
tial value of small industries than this one. Thee ample of Jamaica 
may therefore encourage other Colonies, whose prosperiey has been 
checked by economic changes, to strike out in new directions. 
B —The small Colony of the Bermudas or Somers Islands in 
the North Atlantic (about 600 miles from the coast of the United States) 
furnishes also an instance how much may be done with small industries. 
Bermuda furnishes New York with a large portion of the “spring 
onions ” and young potatoes consumed in that city. It also grows lily 
bulbs (Lilium Harrisii) for both the United States and Europe, and 
the value of .these exported last year was over 21,000/. The best 
quality of arrowroot is obtained only from Bermuda.  Altogether its 
small industries in 1893 furnished exports to the value of near ly | 120,000/. 
These and other particulars are more fully set forth in the Annual 
Report published by the Colonial vea vtri Reports, No. 105), 
arrowroot, valued at 989/. The principal exports to Canada were 
lily bulbs valued at 1 ,209/., and onions, 956/.; and to the United 
States lily bulbs valued at 21,050/., onions 3 59, 8704.. potatoes 26,6222., 
specie 6,0007., and cut flowers 1 ,36 l; e prices obtained fo r the crops 
in the season of 1893 were about the same as in the preceding year.
