The Customs Tax.
Taking the population of five millions,
and it has now quite reached that
number, the customs imports are
lighter than in any previous year since
1880, and not appreciably higher than
during the Liberal regime two decadea
ago. Here are the figures :--

If therefore, a deficit has been chron-
icled for the past financial year, it is a
matter of satisfaction. that it arises not
from an increase in expenditure, nor
from failure of the non -taxation sources
of income, but exclusively from a de-
crease in the customs receipts which
are commonly taken as the measure of
the imposts on the population.
Three Cries Exploded.
Going to the dogs! Being ruined by
extravagance! increasing expenditure!
Increasing burthens! Such are the
eriee 'of the opponents of the Govern,
trient.
Now first as to extravagance. We
have been extending our railways,
building canals, completing public
-works during the past six years, and
yet look at the expenditure! Is it in -
=easing? The official and correct
figures show not. The annual expendi-
ture chargeable to revenue during the
• same years feom 1888 to 1893, was as
follows:
1888 • • " $36,718,494
s ...... 36,917,835 been paid to Lady Thompson since his
1890 .. 35,994,031 death. An item of $2,493, money in
1891. ... . 36,343,567
1892 ..... . .. 36,765,894
1893. . . .. .... . . 86,814,032
It will be noted that though there
have been variations from year to year,
as might be expected, the expenditure
• was practically stationary during these
• years and the trend has been down-
ward since 1889. •
• Now look at the burthen of the debt.
The true test is the amount of interest
• per year. The net interest paid. by
Canada during the several years of Ur.
Foster's term of office as finance minis-
• ter was as follows
The 1)Onlinion Fsnance.
Ottawe, Jan, 12.—The financial re-
turns of the month of December show,
when compared with the lime month
in the previews year, something to the
good. Compared with the year 1893,
the improvement, $19,241, le not large,
btill it thews an inward trend, the im-
portance et which is enhanced by a
corresponding reductionin expenditure
of $121,950 for the month, equivelent
to a betterment ef $201,191. The
revenue for December wee $2,794,431,
compared with $2,715,182, during the
corresponding month of the previous
fiscal year. The expenditures were
42,079,379 and $2,201,329 for the
respective periods. For the six menthe,
ended Dec. 31, the revenue amounted
to $16,399,486, or $1,916,223 less than
was collectec1 during the hrst half of
preceding fiscal year, while the ex-
penditure, $14,129,413, was within
about a quarter of a million of expend-
iture for the corresponding peried of
1893. Deducting the ordinary expend-
iture from the revenues there rername
a sorplua of $2,270068, as a result of
the fiscal operations of first six months
of the &cal year 1894-5, This consid-
erably more than covers the capital
account expenditure •of $2,085,209
during the same period. During the
first half of the previous year the ex-
penditure on capital account amounted
to $2,783,061. There was a decrease
of $300 for excise duties during De-
cember.

• NOTES AND COMMENTS
Two-thirds of the people in fire coun-
ties in Nebraska are dependent on
charity for means of living. No such
picture can be found in this country.
There is want in some of the larger
Canadian cities, but in none of the rur-
al sections is there any lack of food at
all events.

The sympathy of the whole newspaper
fraternity will be with the Globe in the
misfortune which has overtaken that
paper. The great Liberal journal was
never so strong, never enjoyed so much
of the public confidence as it does to-
day. That Sunday's fire may prove but
tenaporary inconvenience will be the
hope alike of its confreres mid readers.

THE attention of the pound keepers
called to the fact that ibis their duty to
thoroughly advertise any stock impoun-
ded before any sale is made. Such ad-
vertisement can only be made by pub-
lishing a full description of the animal,
age, color, marks, eta. in the local news,
`paper. While it may be true that all
• the law demands is, that a few- written
notices be placed in some conspicuous
•place, the owner of the animal, in
nine cases out of ten, will see a printed
notice first,, and will be willing to pay
for it. Many 'instances occur every
year where impounded stock has been
sold, fur erbich the owner has vainly
• looked. Not one manin a hundred will
stop to read a written notice, but all
intelligent people read the newspapers,
and most of them take the local paper.

.A. few people who cavil at the ides of
Sir John Thompson dying a comparative-
ly poor maii will he particularly interest-
ed to learn that his estate is sworn to be
at $9,727 of which $5,726 is frorn life
insurance. It will thus be seen that
Sir John had but little of this world's
goods. Of cash on hand, there is an
amount of 6258, being the 12 *days'
salary of the present month due to him
as Minister of Justice, and which has

1891 8,506,909
1892. . 8,677,558
1893 . ..... 8,656,72
It will thus be seen thab the net
interest paid in 1893 was actually $244,
566 leas than it was five years before.
There has, therefore, been no !trend
upward" in the annual interest charge.
Then as to taxation:the showing
still more favorable. We find from the
ttade returns that so far from there
being any increase, the trend especially
of late years, has been emphatically
downward. During the same years
from 1888 to 1893 the average rates per
tent. of duty paid on all goods entered
for borne consumption in Canada were
• as follows r
1888.. ..... ........... 21.67 per cents

1890, .. . .... 44
1891 . ...... .21,06 "
1802— . • ....17.56
1893 18,38 •
It will be noted thab for several years
past the government has been reducing
the rate of tariff taxation. But another
largo reduction was made by the Tate
revision and from the official returns
in the &nada Gazette recently pub-
lished, it is seen that the average rate of
duty ander the present teriff is about
14 pos emit.

The Governor of Kansas gives the
North American Review a gleamy
account of the condition of the farmers
in that State. He seers that the total
indebtedness in the State, includine
farm and lot mortgages, municipal and
railway bonds, is oyer W80,000,000, or
$500 for every man, woman and child
in Kansas. The farm mortgages alone
average about $500 per family- More
than ten thousancl farmers are annually
turned out of their homes by the fore-
closure of mortgages, "A few years
ago an average horse would. be security
for fifty to seventy-five dollen, but
to -day it would require eight horses to
secure an equal amount." A man of
Governor Lewelling's •acquaintance
recently took twenty-two average horse i
to market and sold the lot for $22J.
After the freight had. been paid there
remained six dollars and fifty cents.
It cost% fifty cents per bushel to raise
wheat, but the farmer is obliged to sell
it for forty. This picture of life in
Halms, as furnished by its own Guyer -
nor, is rather startling. The': qovernor
of Kansas &inks that the troubleis
due to the want of a larger supply of
the circulating medium . • The remedy
which he advocates is free silver and
unlitnited coinage. .rhere it no doubt
that cheap money would help the Kan-
sas farmer if he could get the Man who
holds his mortgage to accept the de
preeiated silver at its face value io
payment of principal and. intereat of
the mortgage. This • scheme might
not remove the depression. but would
transfer it Lc new patties, Let (Jan-
adian farmers contrast their condition
with that of the Kansas brethren.

• 6TA51VOTIO, Conn., Jan. 7. — William
Fashton, 30 years old, who belonged to
Dundee, Ont., and a woman, thought to
be his wife, were found dead near the
crossing of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railway, a mile from the
station, on Saturday, The womon's body
was bruised, and there are two deep
gaSEes in her head, as though made by a
blunt instrument. The. crossing where
the couple were found is a. lonely spot, and
it is thought they were murdered, The
couple stopped at a hotel in Greenwich a
few nights ago, and it is said Easton had
considerable money about him. This .was
not found whet his clothes were examin-
ed.
Haemeox, Jan. 7.—In reference to the
press despatch from Stamford, Conn.,
stating that William Fashtori, of Dundas,
Ont.'and 'a woman supposed to be his
wife had been murdered near that place,
enquiries made in Dundas reveal the fact
that no man by the name of Faehton had
lived there for many years past and it is
probable the inurdered couple were from
Dundas county, Ont., and not the town of
Dun las, as stated.
. Winton and Wicks Dlecharged.
TORONTO, San. 8.-1n tile police court
yesterday the case of Samuel Wicks and
Alanson C. Winton, charged with con-
spiracy in connection with furnishing
water meters to the city, was taken up.
The evidence of Mr. James W. Porch was
taken, as was that of Mr. A. T. Johnston.
Mr. Portch said Wicks told him he could
get the city to adopt the raster for $500,
$200 for "Jim," $200 for himself and $100
for witness. Jim" was Ald. Gowan -
lock, cnairman of the Water Works Com-
mittee of 1892. The meter was adopted,
and witness got $50 and the'aetency. Mr.
Johnston. said Winton wanted. to :leave
some naoney in his hands in 1892 to be paid
to Wieks, but no money was put up. This
was all the Crown's evidence, andehis
worship discharged the defendants, sating
there was not sufficient evidence of a con-
spiracy, and besides the action was not
commenced within two years, according
to the statute.
Both Legs Cut Oir.
TORONTO, Jan. 4.—William Armstrong,
a man. 73 year of age, who lives with his
wife and family at 9 Cunningham avenue,
met with a fatal accident at the C. P. R.
crossing near his house. The old gentle-
man was walking over to the switch -house
to read the morning paper, as was his
custom, and he failed to notice the ap-
proach of the yard'engine going out to the
Junction. Armstrong was knocked down
and run over, both legs being cut off below
the knee, his right arm broken, and seve
ral bad scalp wounds sustained.' The en-
gine never stopped in its course. Dr. Lynd
was summoned, and after receiving the
necessary attention the injured man was
taken to the General Hospital in the
ambulance. It is not thought possible
that he can recover.

Taxes Taken Off.
The Liberals complain always that
the National Policy imposes taxee up-
on the people. That is not stating one
half of the true position.
The National Policy takes taxes off
the people, The Canadian customs
free list is the largest toelay i the
biatory of the Dominion. Speaking on
this matter itt his bUdget sPeeoll a 1894
(March 27), Ron. G. E. Foster said
"Burd ens and imposts have been
repeatedly taken from the becks of the
people by the very persons who sup-
ported and believed in the National Fol -
icy. In the matter of bill stamps and
newspapers, tales were taken off.
Hon. gentlemen opposite, when itt
power, .taxed tea 6 and. 6 centa a pound,
under the National Polley that tax was
taken off, They taxed coffee 2 and 3
cent e a pound; under the National
Policy that tax was done away with.
The tax on anthracite coal, which at
the beginning of the National Policy
was 60 cents per ton, was taken off in
1887, and anthracite ccal has been, free
ever mince, representing a lessening of
duties to the tune of about three-quar-
ters of a minion dollars a year. The
duties on glass have been reduced; the
duties ou salt have been te!iuced; the
duties on molasses have been reduoed
one-half; and, more than all, three
years ago the duty on raw sugar was
completely taken off. The remission uf
three and a half. million • dollars of
duties on sugar was an actual, positiye
and immediate benefiu to the tax -payers
of this country, a benefit well diffused
every part of this country." It amount-
ed to $3,50 a family a year the country
over.
Some Examples of how Canada
has Grown. • •
The following facts will help to show
how the commerce of Canada hint grown
during the time its Protective Tariff
has been in force:—

A. wqnderful story comes feom Heek-
stou, Ont.' It iit full of comfort, assurance
and glad, welcome news for the sick end
those whom phydolama cannot cure.
. Mr. John Irvine, Heckston, Grenville
Co., Ont., writes as follow:—
"Three years ago I had a severe attack
of tqa grippe,' which left me in a very
weak and debilitated condition. The 'text
autumn I had another atteek which left
me in a very bad state. My health was
nearly wrecked, I had no strength, and
felt tired all the time. I was so weak that
my legs would not support my body,
and I had often fallen to the ground wben
trying,to attend tomy work both in the
field arid in my bam, and would he com-
pelled to lie wherever I had fallen, until I
could muster sufficient strength to xise.
My appetite was all gone, and when
would try to eat, in order to gain strength,
[would suffer untold misery for hours. It
seemed to me that I waa- slowly starving
to death.
I tried different doctors, but did not
derive toy benefit from their treatment
My friends thought I ,was going to die,
axid I verily believe I would have died
bad 1 not tried your Pine's Celery Core -
Pound, bought eix bottleseind can con-
scientiously say 1 received more benent
from it than 1 ever dr,eamed of; it was
worth more to me than one hundreil
dollars worth of medicine from the doctors.
1 began to improve in health before I •had
fniblied the first bottle; and to -day
I am completely restored, to health,
1 cent' do as good a day's work as I ever
could, Cal] DOW eat any hind of food with -
cut experiencing trouble afterward, and
can sleep as well as when I was a boy.
"I have not had to use -any of the Com-
pound for months, ,which convinces mo
that the cure is permanent. I feel it my
duty to let •every sufferer know what
Paiue's Celery Compouhd has clout for me,
and it seems impossible for, me to say all 1
should in its favor. My wife, -who bas
been a sufferer for years with chronic
rheumatism, was greatly benefitted by the
um of your medicine. I send you Abis
testimony unsolicited.' •

headaches, Ithave tried all the remedies
I could hear of, and hate been treated by
roomy doctors, but with very little goo&
results. A friend recommended your
Headache, Neuralgia: and Liver Powders
'some time age, and I fonnd them to be the
geeatest blessing to me—in feet, I can

I AM DYEING-.
I am dyeing, Editb, dyeing,
Tints of crimson, bright and fast;
Shades, too, dark as Pluto's regions,
.And they, cannot help butdatt.
Let me tell you how I do it,
Let me whisper in your, ear
Diamond Dyes is all my secret;
You can do the same, ray dear.
Though my elothes get worn and dingy
And with steins are spotted o'er,
Though they look as fit for nothing,
loan make them good once more.
Though I have not many dollars
To expend on garmente new,
I oan dress am well as anyt
And I know that you can, too.
Let not fashion's servile minions
Scorn the garments thus made o'er:
'Twits no dyer's band that made them,
have done the same before.
I, who twit my last year's dresites;
Washed and dyed, and pressed andtunedr.
Made them o'er for this year's wearing—„
Gowns for which the heart has yearned..
Yes, kna dyeing, Edith, dyeing;
No, you do not need to go;
You've not bindered me a moment;
'Ds not hard to do, you know
Now, no more one needs to wonder
How to make their dresses do;
When with such a little trouble,
"Diamond"make them good as new.

little ailment caused by inaction of the:
