Mr. Laurier's policy of Free Trade AS they have it in England means also taxation as they have it in England, since in the absence (if a customs revenue the public treasury must be supplied by direct taxation as it rs ap- plied in Great Britain. The following clipping from a London paper throws some light upon the subject and is sub- nnittetl to the serious consideration of the Liberal leader : f'Josepli Richard Langan a. boot - maker of Laburnum street, Kingsland, was summoned on Thursday, at Wor- Ship street, forkeepinacarriagewith- out being licensed for the sante. The excise officer said that he saw the defendant driving on the day for which the summons was taken out -as far back as May last -and the second seat was occupied by Mrs. Langan. The defendant said he used the vehicle for the purpose of business only, to deliver g„ziads, etc., and his name and address were painted on the trap. Mr. Dennis: --It is not permitted to go out about it1 a trap to collect orders,the Act says, the waggon, cart or vehicle in the nature thereof must be 'solely' used for the carriage of goods. Mr..Bushby said the Act was certainly very striugent. Mr. Dennis :-He bad his wife with .bins on this occasion, and that cer- tainly is not 'goods or burthen.' De- fendant (laughing) :--I'ni sure the Morse finds it burthen. But my 'wife i 4. artof my business, I must take her. alit takes ladies' measures. Mr. Bushby :-I don't see how I can get edit of this stringent Act of Parliament. see the penalty is 420, but I will re- duce the fine to £3. Let me advise you to have a waggon or cart or ve- hicle for the conveyance of goods or burthen only, and don't take your wife. (Laughter.) The Derendant laugubriously) :-But I must 1 (Loud ughter) Mr. Bushby : Then you must take out a license. Ail pleasures must be paid for. Three pounds now and 2•r, cost, or twenty-one days. De- fendant :-And I can't take out xny- wife without a license 1" It is. well, adds the London Free Press, that the electorate should know what Free Trade means to the British taxpayer. Many of the hundred (Ur- ea assessments he is subject to have been already given. He was formerly taxed for his window light, but this has been transferred to the house, in addition to the rents and municipal rates generally. It is in reality a license for wvhichhe has to pay in order tl have a shelter for his family, the tame as if he kept a public house. The British ratepayer is taxed for his gun,' tbr• his servant, if he can afford to keep one, for being born or married, Mid after he is dead the tax gatherer levies upon his estate. He has no privilege that he does not smart for thirough his pocket. As seen from the above proceedings in court, he ermot ridein his business Carriage for the purpose of taking business orders. That is deemed equivalent to keeping a carriage for pleasure, and eYery such carriage must pay a tax. A hnsiness "trap" can only be used to Convey goods, not the man or ' any member of his household. As the Learned justice remarked, "All pleas- ures must be paid for." Mr. Laurier has been seeking to de- oeiee his fellow -citizens regarding this matter. He says in effect, "You are praying ander the tariff system more taxes than you ought to pay. You would escape this burden of taxation by adopting 'Free Trade es it is in ._02:gland." He must know full well, l owaver, that under no system can Such rates as are needed to carry on the .Government be escaped. They newt be paid either directly or indir- , . eptly. And the British taxpayer, while more heavily taxed than. the Canadian, for the public revenue, • Kids: his home market invaded by goods "made in Germany," "made in ilfrance," or "made in Belgium," while hhas to forage for new markets the whole world over for his own maani- fietures in competition with all these.

CANADIAN TRADE' RETURNS. The trade of Canadathis year shows a marked advance. For the -first nine months o>' the frseal, year, which are just completed, the exports were $92,- 044,548, as against $83,223,495 for the same period last year. • This is an in- crease of $5,821,053, and it is specially encouraging from the fact that nearly all the increase is during the last three months. Our imports also have ex- panded. In the first nine months of the fiscal year 18:11-5 they were $78,- 4441,5%), 78;4441,5%), whereas for the first nine months of the present fiscal year they were $34,152,231. The increase of hu ports during the period were ° $5,705,t 764. 5,705,- i64. Altogether, the increase in the aggregate trade of Canada during the nine months was $I1,5'26,817 over the saute time last year. There is always a falling off in trade when a change of fiscal polis is threatened by a general election. But those who engage in commerce evidently realize that the Liberals are not to have an opportunity to meddle with the tariff. NOTES AND COMMENTS: The Liberalpolicy :of ''Free Trade would decrease the value of every bit- she) of wheat grown in Canada, because it would destroy the home market for grain. x *• x ..'- Our exports of manufactures have doubled since the Liberals ceased to govern Canada. Here are the totals: 1879, $13,037,205 ; 180t $27,215,091. =;x+• When the Liberals took office the expenditure of Canada was $19,174,048; when they left office it was 824,455,382. So much for their profession as econ- omists. + 4- + In 1.877 Canada exported 3,550,093 bushels of wheat, and in 1891 our ex- ports of wheat were 14,180,252' bushels. This answers the charges that • Protec- tion has paralysed our industry. x Canadian farmers received in 1873 $12,700,507 for their exports of animals and their products, and in 1894 they received $3I,881,973. Is it any wonder that they retain a policy that thus developstheirtrade? t + + In Free Trade England, which Mr. Laurier desires to copy, how fares the farmer ? Lord Salisbury answers this question in his recent speech at Wat- ford. "I cannot forget that the great. est evi with which we have to deal - the most terrible drawback to the pro- sperity of our country -is the fearful condition in which agriculture now stands." Yet Canadian Liberals want to put Canadian agriculturists in the same condition. • e The farmers in the Crystal distrct of Manitoba, according toa telegram from Winnipeg, are getting- about eight cents more per bushel for their oats than the farmers a few miles south of them in North Datoka. Free Trade would al- waysbring the value of produce down to the level of the lowest market. The agriculturists who know their own interests do not want Fr.se Trade. x TE EXET ,B TIMES. O YOU interests lie in the direction of tariff revoluting and free trade. x ' Our sales to Spain were )$900 in 1874, and $56, 274 in 1891. This seems to in- dicate that Protection has developed trade. • x A well known Ontario Government official and politician, who, resides up the Soo•.line, says he has pledged him- self not to drink liquor of any kind un- til Mr. Laurier is returned to power. He will be an abstainer for life. "Don't be afraid of the National Policy". said Clarke Wallace during his visit to Montreal last week. "It will come out all right at the next election. The Liberals will not get into power. We, who take a strong stand against the Government on the coercion of Manitoba, will be back in great force, and we are not free traders or tariff reformers. As for myself, there is not the slightest danger of defeat," ' x West Durham News: --In 1878 the farmers ;of Canada succeeded in get- ting into the American market about $12,000,000 worth of their products by paying into the treasury of the United States a duty of $1,000,000. In the same year the American farmers sold in our markets nearly $]5,000,000 worth of their products without paying one cent into the Canadian. treasxiry. The Liberal policy to -day is to bring about a siinner state of affairs again; Farin- ers, what do you think about it? • x Guelph Herald: Neither the aver- age manufacturer, the farmer, not ar- tisan classes are appealing, to the « i ,' Liberals for thangesrn the taaraft' other than..g ie those�vlti .Ix will tend to make their interests more secure by preventing a ruinous competition 6f foreign surplus products. It is only the Liberali oliticans'wbo are agitating l> the subject and striving by misre- presentation to convince these various classes of the community thattheir x • Manitoba affords another example of Liberal financing. Mr. Greenway took office in 1888. The expenditure then was $520,000. For last year it stood at $880,000, an increase of $370,- 000. The debt during these years has grown from $2,229,000. $4.500,000. In a word, it has doubled. For their im- mense liability the people have rail- ways which they were told were to be competitive; but which, as it turns out, are not, under the Iaw as passed, required to be so. • .The liability thus produces no return. But Quebec, under • Liberal rule. gives the most pregnant example • of Liberal financ- ing, for the reason that the men who did the damage there are the men who are hoping to control the Federal treasury ere long. The Liberals in 1885 found the Province with an annual out- lay of $3,0.88,000. This they raised by 1891 to $5,9,000, They found a net debt of $I1,389,000,and increased it to $2t,,0t0 in five years. Mr. Taillon, is already observed, has hauled down the expenditures, and has reduced the debt by three millions in roundfigures, The direct cousequence of Liberal rale in Quebec is universal taxation -a taxation reluctantly levied, but levied, of necessity to meet the peenlations of the candidates for Federal office to- day.

SIR. -This is a matter which has not been discussed seriously for some time, until the last few days, when a re- presentative of a Steam Fire Engine Co., caused a petition to be presented to the Council requesting them to take the question of further and bet- ter protection intotheir consideration. I don't know what has been the re- sult of such action, but I am inform- ednothing decisive has been adopted. This being the case a feiv words may not be out of reason regarding same. I think every one ndmits we should have some better system than we sport at present, and that wheu once the Council is convinced of thebestsystemo to adopt, it should have it carried into. effect as soon as possible, I understand two if not three pro- posals are mentioned viz, (1st) a steamer with tanks as we have at present, only enlarged or lxew ones, (2nd) a water system, using hydrants, etc., and pumping tho water from the river, and (3rd) sole water -works for drinking and all other purposes, get. ting water from springs in the vicinity or artesian wells. Now it seenis to me before discussing the question at all, the Connell should get an expert's' opinion as to whether all or any of these systems are feasible, also pro- bable costof each, and having regard to the insurance rate, the dearth of drinking water in the summer and its impurity, looking to the future as well as the present which would bo under the circumstances most advisable and beneficial for the town. Of course if any one in town feels capable of giv ing the above information and can Cori- vince the Connell of his ahilityto judge; he would confer) *mat flavor on' the' townspeople by advising th eutlet:once. We are well aware too many have ri- diculous ideas on this matter especial- ly as to the probable cost and no doubt the expression of their ideas have de- layed any action being already -taken. I must say I don't approve of the steamer system if either of the others are feasible and I ate informed by per- sons fairly capable of'jndging that the second proposal could be carried out very effectually and at a reasonable cost, the boiler and pump necessary could if deemed advisable, be run iu connection with the electric light system, and thus reduce this part of the expense, there being unlimited water at that point. A system of this kind would greatly reduce;the insurance rate, the water could be used for street purposes(witlx- out regard to wind) as well as all household purposes, except drinking, in fact would pay for itself and also be a very great improvement to the town.
