Same Old Game.
Just when the country is settling
down into a satisfied belief- that the
Liberals have learnea to be a national
party snaritime province partisans must
up and assail this nations cherished
faith in the suecese of confederation.
Nova Scotia Liberals by their feeble
assaults upon the unity of the Dominion
justify Conservative boasts that they
are the makers of confederation. Speak-
ers like Flint of Yarmouth cannot for-
get the ancient bitterness which ought
not to have survived the experience
that proved confederatien to have been
best for Nova Scotia and best for Cana-
da as a whole. Canadian Liberalism
has too largely buried itself withthe
affairs of yesterday. The rights and
wrongs of the methods by which Nova
Scotia -win brought into confedetation
need not occupy the valuable time of
Parliament. Nova Scotia is in for good
and all, and the Liberals at Otte wahad
better think several times before they
antagonize the national hope that New-
foundland may join the Dominion.

One Reason why Wheat has
been Cheap.
The paper by R. F. Crawford on an
Ingedry intn Wheat Prices and Supply,"
react befere the Royal Statistical So-
cieny at London lately, is now at hand.
It begins by pointing oub that hone a
supply of 123,000.000 bushels, Eng-
land has sunk to one of 68,000,000
bushels, while its foreign supply has
advanced from 53,000,000 to 172,000,-
000. Or, from an importation of one-
third. of its supply, England has gone to
an importation of two-thirds, -while there
has been a decline of more than one-
half of the home product. .A significant
point in considering this lies m the fact
that the UniteclStates has been a domin-
ant factor in supplying Greab Britain
with wheat for the past twenty-five
years. Mr. Crawford made the point
also that the decline in wheat acreage
in the United States from 1890-92 to
1893 of 3,500,000 antes is an indicstion
that wheat is not attractive to Amen -
can farmers. The claim that the value
of the wheat product is now not much
over 10 per cent. of the total value of
the farm products was not brought out,
and perhaps it was just as well that it
was not, and it is of less import than
some economists have sought to make
it.
Perhapa the most interesting portions
of Mr. Crawford's compilations were
those with reference to the cost of wheat
growing in .America (Canada and the
United States) and other parts of the
world. The figures are as follows ;-
cost or xesODUCTION OF wnnan
England 100 Russia .54
Western States... 70 India
„66
Dakota (Manitoba
and North-west
wonld come under
this)
57.
It will be seen from this that Russia
produces wheat cheaper than Dakota
and Manitoba and, the North-west, and
it is probably true. It is to be regrett-
ed that Argentina was left out; evident-
ly it was difficult to obtain estimates
from. there. it is the general opinion
that Argentina can raise wheat as
cheaply, if not more so, than any other
country.
The possible or probable influence of
Russia, on the price eyheat in years
to come, with the Siberia Railway
open, and the settlement and develop-
ment of another vast area of arable
lands, an accomplished fact is disowned
substautially as follows
"One of the greatest drawbacks to
the development of the wheat-gtowing
industry hi Russia has been thelack of
faeilities ot transit. Until comparative-
ly recent times the whole of the grain
Was oonveyed in the intetior of the
mitten aed riven. The ossitistation of
wheat kr export was, accordingly, con-
fined mainly to the neighborhood of
navigable rivers, with which the count ry
is richly endowed. England has one

to predict that Innen will ?mance

fer it out of the OnitedStates, excopn

T.tie Badget Speech,
The tone of the budget speeell de-
livered by M. Foster on Friday was
manly, hopeful and hearty. lAr„ Fos-
ter did not try to dodge the fact that
the revenue this year would fall con-
siderably below the expenditure, nor
outline any temporizing policy of carry.
ing the defint over in the hope thin the
revenue would improve. He boldly
sized up the sitaation as being that the
revenue for 1895-96 would be $35,000,-
000, the expenditure $36,800,000, and
at once that it was .proposed to
restore the equalibritun between the
two by placing a duty of half a cent a
pound on raw sugar, which would pro-
dnee about $1,250,000 revenue, and
.twenty cents a gallon additional excise
on spirits which would yield about
$500,000 more, thus bringing revenue
and expenditure to an equality. Mr.
Foster was careful to point out that so
long as the revenue was increasing the
Government had not failed to realms
taxation ste much as possible, and there-
fore he had some ground. for the opin-
ion he had expressed that the public
would. not be disposed to complain if a
small amount of the taxation which has
been removed was restored. Since the
sugar duties were removed in 1890 over
twenty million dollars had been saved
to the people of the country by that
remission of taxation, and if he now
asked for a restoration of one-third of
the old rate of duty it surely was not
unreasonable..
In dealing with the condition of trade
Mr Foster showed. a close and deep
study of the question, and exhibited a
degree of well grounded hopefulness in
the disappearance of the slight depress-
ion under which Canada had suffered,
which touched a responsive chord in
the hearts of his hearers and found ex-
pression in hearty ' applause. There
was no uncertainty, no hesitation, no
doper about Mr. Foster's utterances.
He analyzed the condition of trade in
Canada as compared with that of other
countries, and showed that while ea -
ports of Great Britain. the United
States, France, the Australian colonies
and other ceuntries had decreased from
5 to 18 per cent. as compared with 1890
the exporS trade of Canada .had in-
creased teventrtwo per cent., and her
imports were practically the same as, in
1890, wbile the imports of Great
Britain, the United States, etc., have
decreased very greatly. He dwelt with
great effect On the fad that the volume
of trade in Canada was not less last
year than in previous years, but that
the smaller amount in value was caused
by the general shrinkage of values and
not by any lessening of trade. After a
very careful and critical review of the
times Mr. Foster elicited a storm of
applause by this expression, "We have
passed through a period of depression,"
a statement which caused a lowering of
Sir Richard Cartwright's head as if he
mourned the denerture of an old friend.
In dealing with the increase in the
public debt Mr. i ester -said that the
whole debt of the Dominion created
since Confederation was $187,752,881,
while on the Intercolonial .Railway, the
canals and the Canadian Pacific Railway
alone nearly $150,000,000 had been
spent. As to the future of the debt
Mr. Foster announced that the policy
of the Government would be to keep
expenditure on account of Consolidated
Fund, down below the revenue, and
not to allow the expenditure on capital
account to exceed the amount annually
tak.enfor Sinking Fund, so that there
would be no increase in the net debt.
As the expenditure on large public
works may be considered as over, with
the exception of some six millions of
dollars to complete the deepening of
the canals. there does not appear to be
any reasonable fear that Mn Foster's
anticipations will not be realized.
•
The statistics of the cottou industry
of Canada show that the mills have in
operation at the presenb time 12,104
looms and 491,252,252 spindles, and
employ 8,216 hands, whose yearly
wages amount to $2,101,000. These
figures correspond practically with
those of 1891, the census year. They
indicate that in Canada the depression
-which has affected trade all over this
continent, in so far as this branch is
concerned, has passed or is passing
away. They indicate that also a good-
ly number of Canadian working
people are in the enjoyment of their
usual wages, and that if, iu some places,
business is slow, it might easily be
much slower, as, for instance, if the
Liberal theorists who think trade is
not trade unless tho Custom house has
charge of it, were to get control of the
Government and fix the tariff so as to
encourage manufaeturing in foreign
countries and discourage it in Canada.

Contrary to general expectations
wheat continues to advance in price and
at present writing the indications are
that it may reach the dollar figuee be-
' fore many weeks elapse. To -day wheat
is worth 88 cents per standard bushel,
and yet very little, if any, ee coming to
market, The farmers are busy and
anyway there appears to be less wheat
in the country than might have been
supposed. A local dealer remarked
the other day that farmers never sell
wheat in a rising market. It is invert
ably the practiee, he said, to wait until
values commence to decline, but once
the farmer is convinced that prices are
corning down he rushes his stock on to
the manta and at once rids himself of
any anxiety in the matter. When
wheat was selling at 48c a few meriths
ago wr any: people prophesied that it
would never realize a dollar and that
the goorl old days had departed for.

fulfilled, and even though it should not
be fully realized, the present upward
tendency is sun -idea to remind ordinary
mortals that "it's a long lane that has
no turn."

A pretty good indioation that this is
the last session of the Dominion Parlia-
ment is evidenced by the proposed
vote of $145,000 "to meet expenses of
eleotions," The indemnity to members
is redueed to $218,000, as there will
only be 213 members in the next House,
X
Since 1890 the pee capita Federal in-
terest charge has been reduced Irene
$1,86 to $1.79; and the last Cana,dien
loan was floated at a fraction over three
per cent. Improved credit and a
decrease in the coat of carrying the
national debt are two facts on which
the Finance Minister may well dwell
with pride.

The national Monne for the financial
year n,ow about closed will be four and.
a half million dollars short of meeting'
the national outalay. Thisfact of course
is anything but cause for satisfaction,
but the Government and Mr. Foster
are at least deserving of congratulation
on the yigorous measures that are being
taken to avoid.a repetition ofsthe deficit
next year,

It is truly said that the removal of
the duty on sugar a few years ago was
one of the most popular acts of the
Government. But it is not true, as the
Toronto News states, that the present
import wilt be equally unpopular, and
that "the Finance Minister made a
mistake in not selecting some other
article to levy upon than the one on
which the eye of every housewife in the
country is just now fixed." We believe
the Hon. Mr. Foster could not in the
whole range of household commodities,
have selected one more suitable to
sustain the imposition of a slight duty
than sugar. The duty was put on
originally and sustained by Sir Richard
Cartwright, while he was in the Mac-
kenzie Government, at a time when
sugar was twelve and a half cents a
pound. When Hon. Mr. Foster swept
away the daty in 1892 the price of
fine granulated was little more than
balf what it eves in. Cartwright's time.
Since then the price has declined so
far that 25 lbs. can be had. for a dollar.
Under these circumstances, a rise of
price by half a cent a pound is hardly
felt, and will not be noticed by the
household consumer. With sugar so
low in price none but the most picayune
of skinflints would think twice about
the half a cent levied by the Govern-
ment and which it absolutely requires.
Neither is there any article in use, a
duty on which spreads farther or more
uniformly than that on sugar. -London

A Terrible Cyclone Sweeps
over Iowa
Probably 100 -persons were killed
by the cyclone that passed. through
Sioux county from southwest to
northwest an hour before sunset
Friday. Half a, score of prosperous
little hamlets were touched by the
flying storm, and hundreds of farms
laid waste. The territory of devas-
tated is as rich and populous as any
in Iowa, but tlie storm mainly kept
clear of the railroad tracks and tele-
graph lines.
A. pitiful feature of the disaster
was the number of youthful lives
crushed out by the cruel -wind. Four
school houses near Sioux Centernvere
destroyed while school was in pro-
gress, and at each one from three to
-ten children were killed or injured.
Many of the children were killed
before they were dropped. The two
little daughters of John Foster, a
Ifarmer near Sioux Centre, were pick-
ed up as they were leaving the
school house and dashed into a wire
fence and both killed. Two sons of
C. H. Haggie, at the same school,
hacl their legs broken and received
other injuries, from which they will
die. Mr. Haggle's house is neax the
school, and although be escaped, his
daughter was so badly injured that
she cannot live. The parents of
many of the children escaped the
storm, and are nearly frantic with
anxiety to learn whether their little
ones are dead or alive.
The towns of Sioux Center, Ireton,
Orange City, Doon, Hull, Sheldon,
Alton, Ashton, Sibley and Lemaro
were almost directly in the path of
the cyclone. Fatalities have already
been reported from Sioux Center,
Ireton, Orange City and Perkins.
How rnany of the thrifty country
folk on the busy farms between these
little town e met death in the rushing
wind can only be conjectured. The
cyclone was followed by a, fuinous
wind and rain. storm. 'Telegraph
lines are down throughout the
counties, and railroad tracks are
washed away in many places. Fat-
alities are estimated at : Sioux Cen-
ter, 50 dead ; , Peenins, 40 dead ;
Doon, 10 dead ; Sibley, 5 dead. It is
believed that returns from the
country will greatly increase the
death list. No intelligent estitnate
of the damage inflicted can be made,
but it will reach into the millions.
A curious feature a the cyclone
was the accompaniment of electric
violence. Many deaths by lightning
are reported. Numerous vicbines
were found lodged in the trees where
they had been hurled by the storm,
and so seriously injured that death is
expected momentarily. Two grown
boys who had come from the field
near Alton were • caught by: the
storm and Were injured while in the
barnyard, one of them probably fat-
ally. WireaWer0 completely strip-
ped from the poles. Horses, cattle
and vehicles were hurled through the
air like chaff, and the country for
three-quarters of a mile wide and
xnany miles in extent is entirely
wrecked. Where line residencies
stood nothing could be found but a
cellar hole, and in some cases a few
twisted timbers, while strewn on the
ground were portions of buildings
and. furniture bearing net the least
semblance of their original forn ,i. and
