If we may trust ropor'te etow Mere
rent in Louden, the British Govern..
moat under the neeeeeftte tri providing
for the oceet of the wear be South. Af-
7;loa and a''' a permanent lnurease of
the military esLahliehmenit, is on the
point of departing from the long ao
copted policy of free trade, The funds
';'hioh the Chancellor of the Excite -
settee is bound to procure oair of bo
obtained by the imposition of addi-
tiorial excise burdens on the brew-
ing and distilling intoreets, w'htele are
already taxed to tbo Montt of endur-
ance, At most, only a small fraction
ofthe additional revenue required can
be extracted 'roan that source. Nei-
ther can a mare than Insignificant
additionbe made to the present in-
eoMo lax without provoking a wide-
spread and vehement remonstrance
;Which might shatter even the huge
Ministerial majority in the Commons',
and arouse a storm of disaffection in
the house of Lords; itself. On the
other htind, the threatened deficit Dan
be partly made good by levying a tax
on imported sugar, and much of the
remaining gap bc'•tweep income and
outgo might be bridged by reimpos-
ing on imported grain the shilling re-
gistration ebarge which wive abolish-
ed by Mr. Robert Lowe when he was
Chancellor of the Exehoquer. Ac-
cording to London newspapers which
are usually well informed, both steps
are relueLantly contemplated by Sir
Michael Hicks.-Deaeh, although, bilh-
erto, that Minister has see hie face
against the ulightest concession to
the advocates of protection.
If the Chancellor of the Exabequer
finds himself constrained to propose
the fiscal innovation:.( just named, be
will, doubtless, undertake to prove
that they are not really inconsistent
with his former professions, Sugar,
13.c. may argue, is a luxury, and, as
such, may be ae lawfully taxed, even
by free traders, ae are alcoholio ben -i
erages and tobacco. There is no
doubt that sugar was once a luxury;
in mediaeval times it used to be sold
by apnthecariers, and was accounted a
predate; drug. Nowadays, however,
it has come to be regarded a necessity,
in Great Britain and the United States
at all events, and habitually forms a
part of the diet of the, workingman.
Should the tax proposed by Sir 3Iirh-
ael Ilicks-Ileaele add even a half-
penny to the retail price at sugar per
pound. it will bring lame to the mas-
see of the people a sense though not
an acute one, of the burdens to wh'.ch
they are to be subjected by the pro-
seeutian of the imneriali,t policy in
South Africa and elsewhere. A$ for
the reimposition of the shilling re-
gistration charge an imported grain,
abolished acme thirty years ago, ex-
perienee has Shown that this might
not increase the price of a loaf of
bread, although it would yield a con-
siderable sum to the treasury.
It is not tho actual but the pro5-
pective significance of these innova-
tione 1t hich will challenge attention
throughout Great Britain and excite
strenuous oppo.iition in the House of
Commons. It will be impossible to
conceal the truth that the duties men-
tioned, and, c: peeially, that an im-
ported grain, constitute a renuncia-
tion of the principles of free trade.
,The renunciation once made. the ulti-
mate extent of the departure will be
measurable only by the needs of the
exebequer. Moreover, experience
has shown that, if the. neeescariee of
life are onto taxed for revenue, the
time is not distant when they will
be taxed for protection also, If a
registration charge le to be reimpos-
ed on imported grain .for the sake of
the treasury, haw long will it be be -
Foxe an additional tax ie levied for the
'sake of reviving the agricultural in-
iterest in the United Kingdom, and at
consolidating the British Empire, by
{giving a preference to Colonial food
products in the markotg of the moth-
er oountry?
There is no doubt that the fiscal
difficulties in which the Salisbury
Government bus been involved by its
operations in South Africa have
brought it to the parting of the ways.
Those ditfleulteee aro now, or soon
will be, insupportable, without a de-
parture from the prinelples of free
trade. Willthe great mass of work-
ingmen, who constitute a majerityof
the voters of Great Britain, tolerate
such a departure, or will they rath-
er demand a reversal of the Cabinet's
policy? Will the Liberal Unionistt2
support a proposal to tax sugar and
grain 7 If they do, the Salisbury GOv-
ornment may last as long as the pres-
eat Parliament. If, on the contrary,
they refuse to abjure the convictions
which they havee hitherto proclaimed, i
it is not impossible that, even in the
existing Rouge of Commons, the Salis-
bury Government may meet with
ovorthrow.`

story of the eutfering and release of
11rs. Oharle'a-t Hoeg, oe Southampton,
N.S., ought to tering hope and lu'alth

,FRIENDLY WARNING.
IA popular doctor tells this story of
a bright boy, bis own, who has reach-
ed the mature age of nine, after an
early career marked by many wild
and mieehievous pranks,
611I restless nature has made him
something of a torment to his teach-
er at times, and one afternoon not
long ago she kept !hien after the oth-
ers were dismissed, and had a seri-
ous talk with liim. Perhaps she was
a litele afraid that her admonitions
were felling on atony ground. Any-
way, ske finally said :
I certainly will have to ask your
father to comp and see me.
Don't you do it, said the boy.
The teacher thought 'she bad made
an impression.
Yes, she repeated, I must send for
your father.
You better not, said the boy.
W.hy not? Inquired the teeeher.
'Cause he °barges $2 a visit, said
the scamp.
Colonel ICokewiele, during the (siege
of Kimberley, was approached by a
p1'iveto who asked, "CO10pel, when do

Colonel, " did you Pin the army mero-
1'y to get nometbing`10 eat?" "Well,
that's about the size of ]t.' "here,"
oolling an officer, give ibis man
something to eat and then have him

Tbe eftieor understood the
joke, and replied; " All right, colon-
el." The private, exhibiting no alarm
said: "Boil me n bate, oap'n, stew up
u couple of chickens, bake two or three
pounds of potatoes, fetch a gallon in
beer and load Wer guns. Wan. such in-
ducements the man 'bat wouldn't be

oases of Kidney Disease cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, which are very
striking testimonials to the merit of
thin great medicine, The suhjoats aro
Mr. Caleb Rivard and Dol oseph.
ITamel,
Mr. Rivard suffered from incontin-
ence of the urine day and night. Ile
was ea worried by the dischteige of
urine at night, that he purchased
from Dr. Smith a rubber instrument
to protect his bed. Dr, Smith advised
Kidney Pills. Ile bought Homo and
soon reported to the doctor that be
was quite cured. The trouble had, en-
tirely disappeared.
Mr. Haenel writes of,bis ease:-
" I suffered with Kidney Disease for
three or tour years go bad that I
would have to lay off work two or
three days every week. I' was con-
Linually sick, and was forced to walk
like an old man, being all bona with
the pain. I had lost all my energy.
I heard of Dodd's kidney Pills. Af-
ter Inad talon a few doses, I was
delighted to find myself improving,;
Thus encouraged, I continued, and;
after the third box my trouble had'
entirely disappeared. I could stand
and walk upright without any pain
or stiffness whatever. This is over sib
months ago, and I have not had the
slightest return of the 'trouble or
pain,"
These cures have caused quite a
ae.lsetion in this neighborhood, an
both .gentlemen aro well known.
Aodd's Kidney Pills are very papu-
lar in Nioole'.
