Direct Taxation in Oanada..
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 outlook for a big wheat yie
must be different in other parts of Ont-
ario from those in this aection. 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.

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

and theday being delightful, decided on
going for a row, not notioing that the
tide was running strong and the wind
was full from sea. Their boat, a 16 -foot
dingy, was not suited for rough water,
and the supposition is that, night com-
ing on, the boat was overturned in the
straits or gulf of Georgia, The fact of
their ,having gone boating not develop-
