wetes. Easy living does not tend to ad-
vance civilization.
Food is easily obtained and clothing
is a luxury, not a necessity. They make
little in manufactures, because they
have little use for manufactured arti-
ates. No one comes to their market to
compete because they have no market.
'You need no tariff without a market.
Tariffs are therefore an accompaniment
;probably not a. necessity) of civiliza-
tion, All tariff's are put on for two
avowed purposes, viz: raising revenue
and protection. Tariff are of two kinds,
customs and excise.
Customs mean a tax on articles that
are imported; excise, means a tax en
articles made in the country.
Britain has little customs taxes but
urge excise taxes, The United States
after the war had very high excise
duties toraise a fund to pay their war

taxes not only for the raising of a rev

industries. United States politicians
seem wedded to the protection principle,•
In Canada our revenue is raised from
three principal sources, viz; customs,
.excise and post offices. On the items
of alcoholic beverages alone about sev-

Canada has some evils, but free trade
is an impossibility. Excessive protec-

sary to our welfare. Free trade being
Impossible and absurd in our present
condition it remains for Laurier's goy,
eminent to fix some definite limit be
tween these two extremes, so as to give
moderate encouragement to young and
necessary industries, to raise as large a
revenue as possible, without severe
hardships on any one class, to so adjust
the matter as that the rich shall pay in
proportion to their ability to pay, while
the poor are let go as lightly as possi-
ble. Those are the tariff necessities of
Canada. It requires keen intellect

Government will be able to give us a
satisfactory law on the above lines time

It is a serious matter, and we depre-
cate any throwing of obstacles in their
way. Let them have a fair field in
trying to arrive at a satisfactory solu-
tion of a difficult problem. It would
no doubt ease the task were the United
States new administration to first meet
and declare themselves in a tariff bill.
Mr. Laurier may not be able to wait
:long enough for that.
S U1d DAY STREET CARS IN TO-
RONTO
The Sunday street car question is
again perplexing the people of Toronto.
Twice they have voted down the pro-
posal to. run cars on the Sabbath Day by
good majorities, and now provision is
being made for auother test which will.
probably take place sometime early
this year. On this occasion, the ballot
ing will take place under an agreement
which the Mayor has arranged with
the Company. The Torontouians believe
that the Sunday franchise, if granted
will be a very valuable one; cud cense
quentiy they ask that the Company
share some of its,. prospective profits
with the people. In the agreement
under which Sunday cats are to run, if
the vote be favorable, there are three
important provisions—one compels the
Company to sell seven tickets for a
quarter all day Sunday,another requires
it to run a line to the Island without
charging an extra fare, when. the city
have built a bridge across the narrow
"westerng pa, " and a third provides
that employes shall not be "required
or permitted to work " more than six
days of ten hears each in any one
week, except in case of "exceptional
accidents, unusual storms, civil com-
motions, which matters when requiring
employment of men for extra work,
shalt be certified to by the City Engineer
to be matters of absolute necessity in
the reasonable operation of the rail-
way."
. THE HERBERT FULLLER CASE
Murder on the high seas has always
in it a note of terror that is wanting
when man kills man on the solid earth.
The gruesome story of the night-time
tragedy on the barque Herbert Fuller
has hung liken living horror over many
soul—especially those who go down
Ito the sea in ships—ever since the death
ship sailed into Halifax harbor with the
small boat carrying its evil freight fol-
lowing astern. The story has. many
of the features of a thrilling sea yarn
with more than due share of the hor-
rible. A young Harvard lad is sent
en a yoyage by his family physician
for his health, and chooses this ill-fated
ship bound from Boston to the Southern
Seas. The captain has taken his wife
with him on the voyage "to bear him'.

nine men. In view of the coming
tragedy, what materials for the pen of.

In the early morning, six days after
leaving Boston, the captain,his wife and

THE NEW COUNTY COUNCIL
ACT,
The new County Council Act, is
the first attempt on the part of the
Ontario Legislature to lessen the ex-
pense of renewing the Municipal ma-
chinery of the Province, Hitherto it
has been the habit to enlarge the
offices and expenses of governing.
Being the first attempt at curtailment
its working will be watched with much
interest. It cannot be judged fairly
until some experience of the work of
the system has been galued. The only
thing to do is to give it a fair trial and
after that suggest such amendments as
may be seen desirable—experience
may demonstrate that the County
d, or may
can be abolished, Council a it -
prove that separate Municipal repre-
sentation with voting power according
to assessment, or population, is what
is needed. Either of those systems
might be as good or better than the
present law. But just now it is
best to fairly try the Act and criticise
it only after its money and time saving
value has been established.

MERCHANTS HAVE MET THEIR
PAPER FAIRLY WELL.
A Long List of 'Failures Though --some
Rene�rals Asked 'For --Business Troubles
"imported..
Toronto, Jan. 5.—Yesterday was settl-
ing -up dap in banking and wholesale'
circles, and quite a large amount of
paper came duo. In view of thediffioulty
merchants have had in making collections
lately, some anxiety was felt in regard to
the 4th, but so far payments appear to bo
fairly well met. Without doubt a good
many renewals had to be asked for, and,
as will be seen by the list below, the
failure record was not a small one.
One wh lesale merchant, speaking. to
The Globe, Stated that he thought the
trade generally had reason to be satisfied
with the way the paper had been taken
up. Still, this is not saying that a large
proportion of the paper was met. Of
course all returns are not in, 'and every
mail is bringing the wholesaler's money
from a distanco. in Western Ontario, and
in Manitoba and the Northwest, the best
results are being obtained; east and
north payments are not good. Some
amount of the paper due yesterday was
on renewals, and these were for the most
part met promptly.
The 4th of February, the next settling
up day, is much more important than
yesterday, it being the principal settling -
up day of the year.

not more than $3.000 are really available.
In the month previous to the failure,
the firm purchased. some $15,000 worth

Sixteen ounces of silver, for the coin-
ing of $18.60 in silver dollars, can be
bought to day for $9.94!
Think well of the true value of the
silver dollar if its coinage were made
free and unlimited.
Just another important thought for
the ladies, It takes from two to, :three
packages, of the common imitatation
dyes to do the work that one single
package of the Diamond Dyes will do,
If you wish to know why, we will tell
you, Jt is simply because the ingred-
ients of the common dyes do not possess
the strength, , purity and penetrating
powers of the Diamond Dyes.
Just think of having to spend thirty
cents for adulterated dyesfor your
work, that can be better done by ;,the
Diamond Dyes at a cost of ten cents.
You will always be on the wrong side
as long as you allow profit -loving mer-
chants to'supply you with their poor,
weak dyes; it is certainly to their pe-
cuniary benefit, but you are the loser
in every way. The allimportant clues
lion is: " Will youwork with dyes of
full strength, or will you blindly, risk
your goods with they kind that have
only one third the coloring power, and
that cost as much as the " Diamond ? "

or two, and was supposed by the . neigh-
bors to have done so, Mrs. Floggarth, not
having heard from her husband, returned tor the West. At no time was he re-
andfound him lying in bed, where he
had been for eight dayb without food or
water, utterly unable to move or help
himself in any . way. His illness was
caused by the bursting of a tumor'in
his stomach. Hopes are entertained of
his recovery.
Mr. .r. W. Acres, B. A., Principal of
the Paris High School, has sent his
resignation to the Board of Education to
take effect in, August, by which time he
will have been Principal of '- the High
School here continuously for 40 years.
