tide of corruption which seems to
have hem wetting In In our country.

During the period of twelve years.
1888-1497. the aggregate W taxation

the Province haa increased from $9.-

9:009,385 to $12.206,825, and the rate
per head from $1.93 to 1,6.1.3. The re-
torts of municipal d'bte for 1897 are
not complete, bat those for 1896 ,show
that the total debenture debt for that
year was V:2.9469.275, being $26.85
per head as compared with *29,9.24,-
863, being at the rate of *16.8T per

505,744 In 1886 to $1,848,982 10 1)64,
and that of the townMtlps from $8.-
153.646 to *2,86ol,904 In the same per-
iod. while township taxation has only
very slightly increased, so that the 1n -
crease In municipal burdene as altoge-

ities. The debenture debt of the cities
has grown from *18,469,898 In 1886
to $87.471.280 in 1896.
There was a steady decrease In the
population of the townships from 1886,
when the aggregate was 1,148,856, un-
til 1893, when it had decreased to 1,-
096,984, when the tide appeared to
turn, and slight increases have since
taken place, the figures for 1897 being
1,116,530. T. cities have grown In
population from 219,634 in 1886 to 430,-
946 in 1897, and the number of In-
lubitasts of the towns and villages
has increased from 200,005 to 446,567
during the mwe period.
Notwitbataoding the large midi-
, tions to the area of cultivated lead
consequent upon the advance of settle-
ment, the steady tall is agricultural
vetoes which has takes place all over
the world has resulted in the total as-
sessed township valuation sine 1886
remaing almost stationary, with a
slight falling tendency. The total as -
mimed valves of lee townships at the
outset of the 12 -year period 'monist -
ed to *462,097,645. At present they
are 9447,222,478, the decrease having
taken place during the last few year&

and rapid )ecrees from 1886, when
they stood at $154,204,921, until 1864,
wheat the total as.e.senesnt was Pat,-

dropped to 9236,966,046. Town and vil-
lage valuations have increased from
988,078,093 to 9121,926,253, but town

Pettit, lit. P., thought the Governeseat
had sol gime far enough in tariff re-
form -an idea that the advocates of
a "rest and be thankful" policy may
well comsider. Mr. Leckie Wilson op-
posed Galician immigration. Mr. Rich-
ardson, of Liagar, advocated _ further
reduction of the tariff and Govern-
ment conked orf the railways, and Mr.
W. D. Rogers, M. P. for Froatem e,
said "that be was in hie earlier day■

to his convictions be joined the Pat-
rons. He wanted to know what pro-
tection had done for the country. He
favored a further reductios of the
tariff and thought that the Patrons'
representatives should be farmers."
Similar gatherings and more
speeches on the same linea would have
a maul afoot. Anything that makes
the farmers better off will be good
for the city workingmen, merchants
and masmlaoturers in tbe long run.
