spare for the—tax-collector. Poor
peoPle's consumption of highly taxed
goods is limited. Suppose a country
viith 5;000,000 of poPulation and
$5,000,000,000 of wealth, so divided
that there is $1,000 to each person, or
$5,000 eo each family, the collection
of a large revenue in such a country
would be easy. Suppose another
country with equal population and
equal aggregate wealth,. but in which
10,000 Men own $100,000 each, 1,000
men own $1,000,000 each, and 100
men own $10,000,006 each—three-fifths
of the entire wealth of the country
being thus possessed by 11,100 men,
While the remaining 4;988,900 persons
have only , two-fifths among them, Or
'less than $400 pet head—in this latter
vountry the collection of revenue
would be difficplt.
The . duty of statesmen is,Ato make
such conditions that wealth Shall not
only be freely produced, but that it
shall. be equitably distributed. There
is not iinch a difference in the earning
oapacity ofauen that one can, by hon-
ost labor of head or hand, accumulate
.$10;000,000 while another equally
sober and industrious, can only lay up
1400. Something Wrong in the. laws
eetnpels one to work for the enrich -
'dent of another, while keeping only a
bare living for himself. The protec-
tive tariff is one of the tools to that
ond. The taxing of houses and goeds
for municipal expenses is another.
let the men who are 410 anxious for
the maintainence of British Connec-
tion and the avoidanCe of annexation ;
let Mr. Abbott and Mr. Mowat, in
their respective spheres, repeal the tax
lavia which make many poor in order
thtit a few inay be very rich, and
neither of them will have any need to
fear the growth of annexation senti-
ment. If they do their duty to Cana-
da and to Ontario, British Connection

THE ORGAN AND THE HIRE.
"To the Editor of the Sentinel :
DEAR SIN — Please publish the
following extract from a poena by
Alex. Olenaenning, which may be of
interest on the present occassion, on
account of the opposition to the
introduction of the organ in the
Presbyterian church Sabbath school.
We know it will. be taken with the
best of good nature by the frien of
the organ. WM. ANDERSON.
An organ no it cannot work
Within a Presbyterian kirk.
If once you hear a single note

The kirk is there, the linieund staue,
But Presbyterianism is gime.

'Tis cheap° ,r better every way p

There's neither soul nor spirit in 't ; ,
A tinking, cymbal sounding brass,
Amounts to noise and noise alone ;
Meet praise for gods of wood and stone.

' Have said to such a whistle box ? .

They would hae.posted up on each kirk' road
