The Reform party of Canada appears to bet made up of Some believe unrestricted reciprocity to be the best thing for the country, utterly ignoring the fact that it would ea reduce our revenues as to place ue in the same position as Quebec, financially, able only to pay interest on public debt, leaving all branches of the public service unprovided for, and creating a deficit of such dimensions that in two or three years our credit would be hope- lessly ruined, and bankruptcy inavit- able, Others again pin their faith to the platform of 'freer' trade. That is what the Conservative party proposes to give the country so far as they can do so without reduciug the revenues to apoint below what is required for ne- cessary and unavoidable expenditures. They want no deficits. The credit of Canada, especially when so many count ries are losing ground financially and alarming money -lenders, cannot stand deficits. Still another class, realizing that any deviation from the policy of the party in power would involve the lose of revenues essential Ito the main- tenance of government, and yet believe big free trade—one sided free trade we suppose—to be desirable, propose direct taxation as a means of surmounting the difficulty that would be created by the loss of the 21 million dollars we now get from tazation on dutiable article:, That the principle of direct taxation is sound in itself, no reasonable plan will deny. It will no doubt be adopted with the advent of the miilenium by the 'Parliament of man" andthe "federation of the world." In the meantime any country which adopts it will denationalize itself, for while it may be good for man as an individual it .ia not good for those ag- gregationa of men called nations which have national autonomy topreserve, and which preserve it mainly by tariffs. .Apart, however, from the revolutionary character of the proposal, Canadians must study every detail of their situat- ion to determine what facts have a bearing on the proposition that direct taxation is Canada's best policy. A man who is in jail may know that he would be better off outside the walls but in attempting to get out he may be shot. Thepreseut arrangement is infin- itely more satisfactory to the clerical- ism -which controls Quebec than any other method of collecting Dominion revenues that could be devised. If not prepared it was approved by them before being adopted. The French peasant consumes little or no dutiable goods, and having therefore toeonvribute very little to the country's "revenues he is able to yield more to the church. Church charges are collectable by legal process, and the law is that which pre- vailed in old Franco 150 years ago. These charges constitute a direct tax of no light proportions, and from them there is no escape while the lawprevails. And the law is founded upon treaties and repeated enactments of the British Parliament. He has been tax- ed too to a heavy extent lately for pro- vincial purposes, though the revenuesstill do little more than pay interest on the provincial debt. This double pressure is so hard upon them that some of them are turning Protestant to escape the clerical charges. Many more find their way to New England, where they are not compelled by law to support their church. If on top of his present bur- dens we clap a tax for federal purposes, it would be the last straw to break the camel's back. It would compel them to turn protestant in a body, move to the adjoining states ;in a body, or in a body resist the authority of the church, which would be nothing less than rebel- lion against the law of the land. Fore- seeing this, the solidphalanx of 65 mem- bers sent from Quebec, and all more or less under the control of the clergy, would oppose direct taxation. Govern- ment in Canada can be maintained safely under:the wise policy of the administration, which collects revenues by an indirect tax, but under direct tax ation or any other alternative proposal, there would be disunion and disintegra- tion. knots of theorists. s The following debts of the provinces have been assumed by the Dominion ab various times since Confederation; as her Canadian Statistical Year Bc o'-{ of 1891 has it: Nova Scotia, 1, . ,.. $ 1486,756 U. and L. Canada (1873)... 10,506,089 Ontario 2,.848,289 Nuebec,.4 ova Scotia 2,343,Qg9 New Brunswick 1,807,720 Manitoba 3,775,606 British Columbia 2,020,392` P. E. Island , , . 4,884,023 Total $109,430,148 The Year" Book remarks that the assumption of these debts is an advant- age l o the people at large because the Dominion Go''ernment. borrows 'money;. at lowerrates ' of interest than the provinces can gat it for. However it is to be hoped that there will be no further unloading upon the Dominion, though Mr. Mowat wants to have it The Subsidy Question, When Confederation was formed, each province surrendered to the Dominion Government its right to collect inland revenues and customs' taxation. In return for this the provincial govern- ment receives 80 centa per head of pop- ulation in each province to aid in carrying on provincial government. That the arrangement was wrong is apparent, It encourages extravagance on the part of the provincial government end is unfair tothis province whioh,pay- ing the greater amount of customs duty and inland revenue tax, contributes the greater share to Dominion revenues. In Quebec the people are subjected to so many charges ofa clerical nature that they are unable to carry on their muni- cipal and provincial affairs as the ricber people of Ontario do. Without gener ous aid from the provincial government they would be unable to build town halls, roads, bridges, court houses. S&o., &c., as Ontario does solely by municipal taxation. Whatever government may be in power there it is tempted to use the subsidy for the purpose of buying support in the provincialconstituencies. It has to borrow money for the pur- pose. The result is that the debt of that province ie now about $31,000,000 net, or about $25 per head of its population, the interest being much greater than the subsidy. This of course Quebec expects will ultimately fall on the Dom- inion Government. All monies collect- ed by the federal government shnuld be spent for federal purposes only, as in the States, and:the individual provinces should be made to maintain their own government as the individual states do. Then we would not have the shadow of these monumental provincial debts hanging over us, As both political parties were agreeable to the arrange- ments which are unjuat, ao they both should agree to abolish the subsidies, nd make each province rich or poor, small or larger, stand on its own foot- ing, In Ontario, owing to the extravag- ance of government, the subsidy is quite insufficient, and our timber resources are being used up to keep the govern- ment in cash, making the situation is about what it would be were a bank to spend its reaerve fund. NOTES AND COMMENTSw It is said that Quebec's new loan bears interest at the rate of 7 per cent. That comes of being extravagant. The Seaforth Expositor is :down ou corrup t practises at church bazars, &c. So are we all when our opponents get the plum. * * as The Mitchell Recorder appears to believe that civilization is a "rotting tree." Our eotem's political friends are out in the cold.

The Bureau of Industry gives out thab "in fall wheat the proepects are that the total produce will fall below the average and the production per acre will also fall somewhat below the average. The average of spring wheat has also dim- inished, but while taking the Pro yince as a whole, the spring wheat crop is not altogether satisfactory, the product- ion will be in slight excess of 1892. Certainly, to Windsor, west ; north to Goderich, south to Lake Elie, and east Hamilton vvay, the fell wheat promises as heavy a yield as in 1891, when it was 26.7 bushels for the whole Province. Plenty of farmers in this district will have a turn oub of 35 bushels to the acre. Of course a number of the cor- respondents who xend reports to the Bureau are not very reliable. There never were better prospects for a boun- tiful harvest than there is in this district. x x x d Canada will not for th's year at all events, secure a renewal of the privil- ege of sending cattle to inland Britieh towns on the hoof. This fact forms the foundation of an article in the Globe, in which the Dominion Government is practically advised to abolish the quar- antine against animals imported from the United States into this country. The Liberal organsays that thisrestrict ion on the bringing of stock across the lines was established for the purpose of securing a continuance of the privilege Canada once erjoyed in the English market, and since it has not had this effect there is no object in maintaining it. Our contemporary further asserts that if weabolishour quarantine against American cattle the Washington Gov - eminent will probably withdraw theirs against ours and then our exporters will be able to ship fat cattle for Europe either by way of Boston or Montreal, thereby securing competition in rates. Very good,but in the face of such privilege our cattle would tor ever be clanged with American cattle and subject to quarantine for all time., There is still hope that the embargo will be removed so let us keep up the U. S. barriers ••0 LoOAr Orxzoi.
