UTSD,A, I DEC. lett 1892
SIR Joimr TRIO 1TPSOI'T IS G4
11 A'S NEW FRE'111'ER
It has pleased his Eeeelleney, the
Go\ernor•Ge114alal to appoiet Sir John
°T'hornpson, Premier of the Dominion,
owing to the fact that the late Premier
Sir John Abbott, is compelled by the
infirm State of his health to resign his
office. ;Mr. Abbott accepted the posit-
ion of premier against his indlination
It was represented to him under all the
circumstances of the case, the business
of the county would, for a time at least
be safer in his hands than in those of
any other mau. His name would coma
meed general confidence. The death
oaf Si• John Macdonald had not left the
Couservatiye party in either dismay
+ordisorder; still firmness and prudence.
Sit:re, needed in the man who should
take up the work which has fallen from
the great Leader's hands; and, above
all it was necessary that the people
should have coufi.dence in his firmness
and prudence. Sir John Thompson
had become the government leader in
the House of Commons; and many cir-
cumstances pointed to him as the com-
ing
oming premier.. He could have been
premier had he desired. He was asked
to form a government, and he declined
the task, not because he feared failure
but because he was in harmony with
the get,eral sentiment of the country
that for a time, Mr. Abbott would tie
the safer man. Having done the work
he set himself to do, Sir John Abbott
has retired from official station. He
has done his work well. The country
has greatly prospered under his hand;
the people have given evidence of re-
newed confidence in the Conservative
party and its policy, and the minister
ial strength in the House of Commons
has doubled. It is greatly to be . re-
gretted that Sir John Abbott has serv-
ed his country at ruinous cost to him
self. His health has materially failed
under the burden impressed upon him
and he is now compelled on that ac
count to lay down the load. Some
months ago it was arranged that his
retirement should take place during-
the
uringthe closing months of this year, but
afterwards the Manitoba school ques
tion took on new conditions, and it was
thought better that the new- premier
should not be called upon to face that
difficulty on the very threshold of his
new office, There is not a doubt that
the question will present difficulties
and dangers to a Roman Catholic which
it would present to a Protestant. It
.will present difficulties and embarrass-
went to the new leader,*Bich it would
not have for the old. For that reason
it was hoped of late that Sir John Ab-.
bott would be able to meet parliament
once more and to continue in office un-
til site Manitoba school question should
be settled. That hope, cannot be realtz•
ed; the state of Sir John Abbotts health
imperatively commands him to resign.
his office, and, Sir John Tnompson in;
the nature of' things, becomes his suc-
cessor. It is unnecessary to say that'
the new leader is a man of great abil
ity. That has been greatly demon-
strated during the past quarter of a.
century. He possesses all the quali-
ties desired in the leader of a govern-
Ment—honesty prudence
overn-anent—honestyprudence a firm grasp
of the policy, of his party, a broad view
of general principles and steady cony •
age in maintaining them. Sir John
Thompson takes office under favoroble
circumstances, The country is pros
perosis, its trade is increasing, its fi-
nances are in good shape ;and behind
the premier's stand fully two-thirds_ of
the members of the Rouse of Commons.
.THE NORTHWEST.
The 1llanitoba Free Press is a paper
not practically friendly to the Domin
Ron government. Its trade policy is,
favorable to the revenue tariff But it
contends that the Conservative party is
deserving of the support of the North.
West. It affirms that the Liberal ]ere
ers never lose an opportunity in parka•
relent to show their hostility to that
part of the Dominion: They oppose
every measure or proposition intended
to assist its development, and endeav-
or to excite such prejudice as they can
by dwel1ilig on what they ale pleased
to consider the enormous 0081 it has
been` to the Dominioe, "From the
Liberals," says the Free Press, "it has
been all kicks and no ha' pence; we•
di �t as e will t '
may dispute w about the. ha
pence;but from the Conservatives we
have at least received no Icicle." To
the Conservatives it is dice that the
county.y . is opened u s et all and to
1
them especially, and the, bold policy of`
their great statesmatnr that it was put
411 temm11ni.cation tyi h `astern l an,
add, As for immigration, it has been
slower than was hoped for; but years
rl are vgiiired to overcome ancient prej-
udices against the climate of the
country, anti to minimise the superior
reputation of the western states. How
ever, the Conservative policy is not one
of sloth or indifference, and the time is
rtt 11uid when even the Free Press will
give more than a grudging acknowl
edgement of its merits,
FARMERS' TAXES.
One who desires to contrast the con-
dition of the Canadian farmer with
that of his rival in the United States,
miist take taxes into account as well
as other matters. And rural taxation
in Canada is a mere fleabite compared
with that on the other: side of the line
We have before us the treasurer's tax
notice for Morgan county, Ohio, - It
gives the several items for which taxes
are required for state, county and
township purposes. These vary some.
What according to the expenditures
of the several tewnships. The highest..
is $3.85k oa the $100 valuation;, and
the lowest is $2.901. The first town-
ship named is Bloom township, and the
rate there is about the average. It
.dills for $3.901 on the $100. We do
not knew what the average Ontario
fcirmer pays. We doubt if his direct
tax for all purposes exceeds 5 mills on
the dollar, or 50 cents on the $100
And, it seems pretty certain that the
($lii'o, farmer pays from six to seven
times a1«much as the Ontario farmer'
pays.•a-Let us suppose a man in Went-
worth county and a man in Morgan
•count, Ohio, each to have a • farm of
16O acres; assessed at $50 an acre, and
buildings assessed at $2,000. The for -
liter will`pay ,in direct taxes about
*42,:a4;the roan in Bloom township,
Morgan county, Ohio, will pay $231.35.
