Mr. Haegert, in wawa to Si e Riehard Cartwright, said the °mount required to complete the St, Lawrence °hamlet and canal system would be as near as possible six million dollars. It was not the intention a the Government to deepest the cestals to a greater extent than was requisite to com- plete the present system of navigation. RAW SUGAR, IMPORT. 'Mr. Wallaoe, ni a,newer to Mr. Fraser, said the total quantity at raw sugar import- ed into Canada duty free under le Detail standard for thenine month ended March, 1894, was 2.21,218,780 pounds. From that time until June 1894, duty having been remitted to No. 16 Duteh standard, the importe.tions under 16 were 82,571,029 pounds, e total for the year of 303,789.809 pounds. The total quantity under 16 Dutch standard imported in pine maths of 1894- 5 was 220,712,442 pounds. He could not say whether this sugar had been refined in Canada. As the tariff admitted such sugar free without a movie° as to how it should sabsequently be dealt with, there was no supervision over it. anatretwo OF VOTERS' LiSTS. Mr. Montague, in answer to Mr. Casey, said the amounts paid for the printing of the voters' lists in Toronto outside of the Printing Bureau, were -Centre Toronto. $333; West Toronto, $886, East Toronto, 8616, West York, 8801; East, York, 8497; North York, 8252. The lists were printed at a uniform charge of three cents a name and fifty cents a heading, the same rates as had prevailed since 1889. KOOTENAY'S PRosPERITY. Mr. Mara ntoved for a return showing the amounts pad ID Customs duties at Waneta, Nelson, Kash), and the boundary of Kootenay river from 1890 to 1894 inclu- sive, giving the amount paid yearly at each outpor t. Mr.Clarke Wallace said that reports had lately been received allowing that there had been a very large increase in the busi- ness of the district, and that mining, upon which the business depended, was being developed to a greater extent than ever before. It was intended by the Government to make Nelson, instead of its being an outport of New Westminster, a port of entry, and the oilier places that have been named or were centres of business outports of the port of Nelson. The motion passed. OmcsuS sTATisTics. Mr. Forbes moved for a return giving the names of the various manufacturing or in- dustrial establishments in the Counties of Queen's and Shelburne, Nova Scotia, as mentioned. in the last census returns, to. gether with the names of the owners there- of . Mr. Montague remarked that the classi- fication of industrial establishments had frequently been discussed in the House, and had been. made a great deal of in the country. It formed the subjece of technical attack, but it was one in which there was not a tenth as much as hon. gentlemen made out. "There must be some classifica- tion of individuals and industries which exist in the country," he continued, " and I have to say to hon. gentlemen that those callings which are classed as induetries in the Canadian census are not nearly as wide or nearly as inclusive , as the industries which are so included in the English or the American census. It is true that maxiy of these industries included in the census are not great industries, requiring the employ- ment of a large number of people, but, at the same time, they are industries employ- ing a certain number of persons, and I am sure no hon. gentleman would ask that these should be excluded altogether from the census." The motion was agreed to. THE CHANGES IN THE CABLIET. Mr. Foster, at the invitation of Mr. Laurier, made a statement on the Ministeri- al changes which followed the death of Sir John Thompson in atzbstantially the same terms as that made by Sir Mackenzie Bowell in the Senate on Friday last. Mr. Laurier commented upon the changes at some length, and on the manner in which they had been made. Referring to the report in the Gazette and The Mail and Empire that Sir Frank Smith was first summoned by his Excellency, Mr. Laurier charged the Government with using consti- tutional forme for party ends, a proceeding which he condemned in strong terme. Ib as perfectly incredible that his Excel- ency should have taken the course adtri- uted to him. He did not wish to speak dis- espectfnlly of Sir Frank Emitb. lie was a good man in his own sphere, but politics, tatesmanship, parliainentay government, were not his sphere. If Sir Frank Smith ad known, not the elementary principles, but the elenientary proprieties of par- iamentary goverument, he would not have one blabbing to newspaper reporters. At he very least he stionid have known enough lot to divulge what had passed between irnself and the eGovernoteGeneral. To go nd exhibit his own self-sufficient import. nce, as he did, was to say the least, nothing bort of an impertinent vulgarity. But it as thought that the Orange colour was ther too prominent in the new Cabinet, d it would be a good thing to get a pro- inent Roman Catholic to give a certificate character to Sir Mackenzie Bowen. The t of the Cabinet changes were family rangemeas, as to which he had no obser- tion to make. IMPORTS AND EXPoRTS. Mr Wallace in answer to Sir Richard artwright, amid the value of the gross ount of Canadian imports for the nine oaths ended April lst, 1894, was 894,341- 2, and the gross amount of imports for e same period in 1894-5 was $80,987,079. he value of these importations entered for neumption to April 1st, 1894, was 886,- 0,749, and the value to April 1st 1895 as 878,126,603. The value of the gross ports for the nine monbhs ebded April t, 1894, was 880,606,033, and for the tier - spending period in 1894-5 was $86,271861. the tebove exports for the period of 1893- $78,916,138 was the product of Canada, d for the corresponding period of 1894-6 o product was $79,492,649. GENERAL BOWS.

The department was not aware of any claims for further eX- poises. ttrvbtsuie Awn axintaentwun.B. Mr. Foster, in answer to Sir Richard Cartwright, said the amount of revenue re- ceived during April, 1894, was 89.,442,,§37, and for April, 1895, N9148 $2,896,500. The expeuditure chargeable to the consolidated fund for April, 1894, was 82,183,624, and for April, 1895, was $2,375,801, miCalo.4.1,r COLONISTS, Mr. Daly; in answer to Mr. Devlin, said the department of the Interior had deposited with Mr. J. 130, Rolland, president of the Colonization and Repatriation Society of Quebec), the sum of $1,000 to be expended by the sodety in aiding the colonization scheme promoted by the Rev. Father Para- dis, of transporting immigrants from Michigan to the district of Nipissing, subject to the condition that notportion be expended in the transportation of the im- migrants. The duty of seeing that the immigrants were properly placed lay with the promoters of the movement and with the Government of Ontatio, as they were to be settled on provincial lands. 24.4111TORA CENSUS. Mr. Montague, in anaggr to Mr. LaRivi- ere, said it was the intention of the Govern- ment to have a census of the Piovirme of Manitoba taken in the year 1896. INTERCOLONIAL EXPENDITURE. - Mr. Haggart, in answer to Mr. Edgar, said the cost of maintenance of the ways and works on the Intercolonial railways for the year ended June 30th, 1894, was $656,758. LORD'S DAY MILL. Mr. Charlton, in moving the second reading of a bill to secure the better observance of the Lord's day, commonly called Sunday, asked that the bill be ac- corded fair consideration and net connected with the personality of the mover, against whom prejudices might be entertained. The hon. leader of the Senate had referred' to his efforts on behalf of the bill as undertaken to show how good a man he (the mover) was. This was ridiculous. Any man who moved such a bill from a desire to gain pepularity would be an idea A man did not even receive that sympathy which contributed to popularity. Mr. Foster thought the House was not disposed to treat the bill without consid- eration because it came from the hon. gentleman. When the bill went through committee, it could be put in -workable shape. In the meantime he had no objec- tion to confirm the principle by the second reading of the bill. Mr. Langelier was determined to oppose the bill to the last. If adopted, it would restore a condition of things worse than the Inquisition. The hill was read a second time. TRANSPORTATION OY CATTLE. Mr. McMillan's motion for correspond- ence regarding the transportation of Cana- dian cattle over American territory for shipment to Great Britain from American seaports was agreed to. COMMERCIAL TREATIES. Mr. Foster introduced a bill respecting commercial treaties affecting Canada, which is to make provision for admission at the same ratea as granted to France in the treaty juat passed by Parliament on the same articles to nation a which have favonr- ed nation clauses in their treaties and to allow the same products from colonies to come in at the same rates aa from France. The bill was read a first time. SENATE VADANCIES, Mr. Foster,'in answer to Mr. Flint, said he believed there were tan vacancies at present in the Senate. He did not know to whom they had been promised,and they would be filled as soon as they conveniently could be. TRENT VALLEY 'CANAL. Mr. Haggart, in answer to Mr. Meadow' ald (Huron), said the cost of the Trent Valley canal since Confederation was 8803- 252. The amount of the present contract swast$492,859. There bad been a perma- nent survey of the canal made as to loca- tion. The depth of water obtained in the completed portions of the canal was six feet. The cost of maintenance for the year ended June 30th, 1894, was : - Staff $3,- 823, and repairs $4,988. The receipts from the canal for the same period were $1,286. MILEAGE To MEMBERS. Mr. Unlock moved the second reading of a bill providing that members of Parlia- ment should not travel free on railways, or at a lower rate than the general public and requiring them to make an affidavit that they had complied with the provision before they drew mileage allowance. He disclaimel any intention of criticising the actions of his fellow -members, or of sitting in judgment upon them. Mr. Foster said he did not think the House would pass the bill in such a shape. They might prohibit it man from drawing mileage if he travelled on a pass; but he imagined the Rouse was not for a moment going to lay down the law that it man should not travel to Parliament on a pas if he chose. A member could trayel to the House on it bicycle, in a carriage, or walk if he chose, and the House had no right to interfere ; but it had the right to pass its opinion upon whether he should or should not draw mileage if he travelled in a certain way. He did not assent to the bill going to second reeding in such a form, and he did not believe the hon. member intended a provision such ae the measute contained. Mr. Laurier, when he first glanced at the bill, was under the impression that the intention was to prevent any man who travelled on a pass from drawing mileage. The bill, however, went further than that,. The bill was one :hat should be discusse-f on its merits, but in the present temper o the Houee it was not likely to be oonsiderd ed in .that spirit. He moved, therefore, that the debate be adjourned,se that better opportunity might be afforded the House to come te a free and uribiaeed judgment upon the question. Mr, Mulock had no objection to the motion if it was intended the bill ishould come tip again in the Ordinary course, otherwiee he should press it to a division. The motion was adopted. nas BUDGE T. Mr. Pester drew particular attention to the fact that in miscellaneous reports the standard go:Mettles of recoil* were well up ob the right side and Were lho highest for many yeara They formed agood indeX to the Anatole' health of the country in this period of world-wide depression. This spoke Well for the eteadiness of Canada's business, and for the manlier in which the trade of the denary had weathered the gale of adversity that hat been so terribly EXETER TINEE ftnituotehae, Unite‘d States and other great o WILT T114 axess.erreas iNCIREASIM. Dealing with the expenditure which wa three-quarters of a million in exceeis of the preview* year, he said it might be consider. ed it lack of foresight on the part of the ,Government in a year of finaneial aringency to inareceee the expenditure. That view would not hold when the figures were looked at, as out of this three gearter million 8712,442 had gone in interest on the debt and subsidies to the provinces, an increase which could nob be avoided. Of au increased expenditure there were three items which would furnish revenue to the Government eventually, For the manu- faeture of methyleted spirits au item of expenditure of 888,654 appeared, for dairy Advances 836,000 and for binder -twine factory $74,219. These amounts would in due time come back to the Government, and it was expected that $40,000 would be returned froni the binder -twine factory alone. In addition to these expenditures there was an increase in postoffice work of a8n96,005x8aanndge813,428 in premium, discount doh REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE 1894,5. The statement of the debb was gtven by Mr. Foster with muoh detail, after which he took up the revenue and expenditures of 1894-95, giving the following figures: Total revenue her 1893-94, $36,374,000, and total expenditure $37,585,025; but the ree venue up to April 20,1894,was $29,261,171, and the expenditure 825,025,570. The revenue to April 20, 1895, was $29,261,171, and the expenditure $25,085,570; there. venue to April 20, 1895, was $26,266,757, and the expenditure 825,984,658, and the revenue to June 30, 1894, was $7,113,521 and expenditure $12,499,454. 85,000,000 IN TH.E PEOPLE'S TOCHETs. As for the volume and bulk of iinports this year, he said they were just as high as in past years. The chief reason for the reduction in customs duties was the de- creased value of goods. The Landon- Econ. omist estimated the fall in prices since last year as 7 1-2 per cent. (Hear,: hear.) Another reason for the falling off in revenue from customs was due to the echanges and reductions in the duties last year, tbe change from ad valorem to speoffic duties and the increased importation of free goods. The quantity of sugar which will come in this year woulci produce $4,900,000, if the old rates of duty prevailed, so that the people of the country had that amount in their pockets. THE REDUCTION IN TAXATION. The capital expenditure this year would amount to $5,000,000; add to that the esti., mated deficit, 84,500,000, making a total of $9,500,000. Deduct from this the sinking fund and it left an addition to the debt this year of $7,300,000. The addition to the debt from 1890 to 1895 amounted to 815,952,987. In 1890 glees, anthracite coal and sugar were dutiable ; to -day they were free. On the basis of the duties imposed in 1890, these articles would have produced in five years a sum of 823,660,902. Had the duties been retained, not only would there have been no increase in the debt in these years, but seven and three-quarter million,/ would have been available for decrease of the public debt. (Cheers.) No modern country could show such a large reduction of taxation in five years as the Dominion. 0alTADA.'2, CREDIT ABROAD. Some considerations were here presented briefly as to the general condition of the country in the years in which it had passed through the recent depression. His chief object was to set the facts of the ease against the dolorous charges the Opposition and scattered broadcast. A country's credit in the central money markets of the world was the best test of ite stauding. In Oc. tober, 1894, Canada put a big loan on the London market, when money would not leave its hiding place except for the best security, and when colonial securities were at their lowest, when also Canada's revenue was failing off. A loan was put for two and a quarter million et 3 per cent., at a mimimum of 95. What happened? The tenders were most widely distributed, and nearly 12 millions were tendered for. The result was it, floated at 31-6 per cent net. The mere recital of that fact would go farther than all the loud talk of Canada's detrac- tors at home or abroad. TRADE NEARLY AT HIGH WATER MARK. The importa had increased -in value by $3,500,000, and they had increaeed in volume by a large amount, of course, owing to the decrease in value. The exports had increased in value by $28,000,000, and in volume, of course, much more, and were in 1894 the highest in value since Confedera, tion, with the exception of 1893, and the highest in volume of any year in our history. We had a net surplus during that period from 1890 to 1894-95 of $7,476,843. We have taken n° texation on sugar alone $14,000,060; we have taken otr taxa. tion on tv o other armies to the amount of th ee a id three quarter million dollars (83,750,000), and we have taken off a large amount on items generally in the tariff, the revision of which took place last, year. We have increased the debt by $8,500,000. The net irterest on the public debt, however, had been increased by only $100,000, while the per capita net interest had fallen front $L86 to $1.79 Igo banks had fallen in that period in Canada through the stress of hard times, not one. Our Industries have been well maintained. Want and poverty have been practically unknown in Canada and comparatively the Canadia, people have outrid- den the storm with vessels less battered and sails less tattered than any other country in the wrld. (Cheers.) And in the very midst of the financial and business tempest Canada ran her fiag of credit in the centre of London up to the very highest notch on which it has been nnfurled from the time the Canadian Provinces united. (Renewed cheers) GOOD TIMES AT }LANA. The tide, he believed; had now turned. Prices were recovering, confidence is grow- ing, trade is increasing, the demand of the consumer strengthening, revenue is begin- ing to mend, and, working on her well -laid basie of resources, OA as they are, the wide facilities for transport with vvhieh Canada is splendidly etpipped, a sound Leal polioy and good financial manage - merit, Canada, toed the Minister, was to -day emerging from her period of trial into an era of brightness „p,nd prosperity which would surely surpass" any in her previous history. xxvoreruass CUT DOWN.

In 1890 and 1891 the tax on raw sugar wee taken off and benefit was conferred on the country. In 1891, under the new tariff, there were imported 14,000,00, odd pounds of sugar, the duty on which taking an average of the old rate, would be $227,447. In 1892 the quantity was 327,000,000 pounds, the duty on which would have been 85,200,000. In 1893 the quantity was 252,500,000 pounds, the duty on which would have been $4,000,- 000; in 1894 the quantity was 303,000,- 000 pounds, the duty on which would have been $4,82).,000; in 1895 the actual import and the estimated receipts on the same basis would have showu imports of 310,000,000 pounds, the duty on whioh at the old rates would have been 84,919,- 700. That is on the article of sugar alone. The tax on raw sugar was paid certainly out of the a -mourners' pockets, it being a tax not on an article grown in the country, but on a raw produat brought in, which must pay the tax at the cost of the consum- er of the article. If hon, members would add these items together they would find that the remission of sugar taxation in those years pp to the current year aggre- gated $19,176;333. Some one may fairly say, but if the duty had remained at the old rate there would not have been so large an importation. Cutting off whatever proportion you please, you will still have an amount of from 815,000,000 to $19,000- 000 removed from the people's shoulders. maw A EJENT PER POUND ON' RAW SUGAR, I think the country will not complain and this Howie will not complain if 'weeek the people in the year that is to.aome not to pay back to us en equivalent of the old rate of duty on eugar, but to give us one- third of the amount of duty placed on it in 1890 and 1891. So it is proposed to place one-half cent per pound on raw sugar, and to increase the protection upon, refined sugar and the artioles into which sugar largely enters proportionately, and only proportionately, to -the increased tax of one halt cent on raw sugar. On the import which will Probably come into the country this year that will give 81,200,000 or 250,000. 20 omen A GALLON ON WHISKEY. The excise duty on spirits is now $1,50 per gallon, and we propose to add 20 cents per gallon and make the excise duty 81.70. The customs duty on spirits is now $2.12 1-2 per gallon, snd we propose to make that $2.25, an increase of 12 1.2 cents, That, we think, 'will bring in a revenue of about $500,000 or$600,000,whieh will give us $1,700,000 or $1,800,000 of taxation. This will, under the estimate I have pre- pared and submitted to the House, fill up the gap, restore the equilibrium, and bring tis out at the end of next year with a clean sheet, and if times improve fairly well, may bring us out alittle to the good, which certainly will not be deplored by the coun- try, and not be a bad thing for it. NO RAILWAY SUBSIDIES. From 1884, when the policy was first adopted, until the present time, we have expended over $12,000,000 in payments for railway subsidies, that is an average of about $1,200,000 per year. There are those runniug and current, which I have spoken of, which we will gradually wipe off the slate ; but for the coming year ins felt that it would. be imprudent to add to the list of our liabilities by bringing down any Railway Subsidies bill granting mileage subsidies for the construction of railways in the country.

Bread Bakers at War. A despateh from Rochester, N. Y., says t° --The bakers are fighting here, while local groceries and the public in general are reaping the benefit. Last Thursday a grocer contracted with one. of the bakers for bread at 2} cents a loaf. The next day he began selling loaves at two Inc 5 ciente. Every baket in the city met the cut and before Saturday night bread was sold for 1 cents& loaf. Some grocers advertised five loaves of bread for 5 cents and gave a Street car ticket with each lot. At noon another grocer advertised a loaf free to every cue. tomer. The fight will be kept up and the journeymen bakers are preparing to strike, claiming that their pay has been reduced in consequence) of the war.

Hear What the Thank. iul Father Has to Say. - MRS. JAMES MoRITCHIE AND DAUGHTER. A. leading local physician, whose profession takes him among the chil- dren of the varlpous public institutions, remarked to the writer, that one would hardly believe that so many childten were affected by nervous troubles, which sap the system and prevent proper development. In many cases the doctors are powerless to cure these troubles. They can relieve the suffering little ones, but in South American Nervine we have a medicine that does more than simply "give relief. Its peculiar ;strength is that it completely cures where physi- cians relieve. A case in point came to us the 24th ult., in a letter hem Mr. James W. McRitchie of Bothwell, Ont. He says :—"My daughter Maggie, aged 9 years, was afflicted with nervous fainting, spells for over a yea; which left her in such a con- dition of weakness afterwards that the child was praeticallY an invalid. We tried several remedies and doctor- ed with her in. one way and another, but nothing gave relief,' Seeing, South American Nervine advertised, as par- ticularly efficacious in ner vous dis- eases, I decided on trying it for her,. and 1 must say that I noticed a decided change in my daughter for the better after she had taken ihnly a few doses. As a result of using this medicine, she is now entirely free from those faint- ing spells and possessed of that life and brightness that is the hippy lot of childhood. I am satisfied it is an excellent medicine for any nervous weakness. My experience has been further supplemented in the fact that my wife has also been using South American Nervine for indigestion, dyspepsia and nervous prostration, and has found very great relief." Whether the patient .be man or woman, young or old, South American Nervine provides a complete medium for restoration to health. It is It medicine differim,, absolutely from every other. A is effected; by jt application to the nerve centres.oflh'67 human system, and science has proved that when these nerve centi el. are kept healthy theWhole body is healthy. For these reasons failure is imposs- ible. C. LUTZ 'Sole Wholesale and Retail Agent for Exeter. THOS.
