The financial report presented at the meeting of Huron Synod in London last week showed receipts for regular dio- cesan purposes and exclusive of collect- ions for special objects of 813,069,28, this being but $74.41 less than last year which was arecord.

THE FINANCE OF THE COUNTRY. HIGHLY RECUMWE, i ED No medicine for little 'nes is so highly recommended as is aby's Own Tablets. They are guanteed by a I government anal t be absolutely safe and beside» at thousands of mothers through'' the land praise them as the only sure cure for child- hood ailments. Concerning them Mrs, Edward McDonald, 1)ouglastown, Que., says: `=i can highly recommend Baby's Own Tablets to any mother who has a baby suffering from constipation or teething troubles." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. (Stratford Beacon.) Financial wailing, says the Guelph Herald, comes with poor grace from the Liberal opposition, considering their past and the following facts as present- ed by Canada's last budget: 1. A trade of over one billion dollars. 2. A surplus over consolidated fund of 55 millions. 3. .A. reduction of over 23 millions in the National debt. 4. An increase in revenue of 32 mil- lions. 5. An increase in imports and exports of over 105 millions. 6. Two years' revenue would pay the National Debt. All of which are due not to any abil- ity shown by the Conservatives, but to the excellent revenue producing tariff devised by Mr. Fielding under the Laurier Government. At the present rate of expenditure surpluses even with the extraordinary revenue will soon be a thing of the past. The only thing for which the Government of Mr. Borden can claim credit in connection with the foregoing list is that they were wise enough not to disturb the Fielding tariff. Rumor has it that tariff revision is going to be a principal subject for the next session. We know that tariff revision means with the Conservatives, a constant tinkering from which the country suffered several years when Mr. Foster was Finance Minister. —The G.T.R. paymaster at Stratford last week handed out pay cheques to the amount of over 575,000, some $50,- 000 of which went to the men in the s,hops.

Hanna, Provincial Sec- retary, has created a new position in the hospital branch of his department, that of inspector of feeble-minded and assistant inspector of hospitals and charities.
