Expositor a few weeks ago drew atteutton to the magni- tude of the new taxes imposed by the Ontario Government and comment thereon suggested tome that if the total public expenditure of the country were brought to the attention of the people in the same way there might be some serious thought in the minds of the over wrought intelligent taxpayers. By reference to the public accounts of the Province I find that the.ordivary ex. penditure for last year was $! t,Ble.30,- 65 or in round numbers twelve milieu' dollars. The Provlucial 'Treasurer of announcing his new scheme of taxation estimated the receipts at about $2,000,• 000. Huron's eontrlbu ion is as point- ed out $42,so1, so Hut on will pay 5.47 of the so-called provincial war tax Let us suppose the total expenditure of the province was met by direct taxa- tion and Huron would have to raise S255,o0o or six mills on the dollar. This means that every person, whether living in the country or in the town, whose property was assessed at $10,00e, would pay the Provincial Treasurer sixty dollars in taxes. But there is a Government at Ottawa that does things on a Ear grander scale in the way of ex- penditure than the Ontario Government. The Finance Minister purposes spend- ing $2oc,000,000 during, the current year. Assuming that Ontario pays one- third of the Dominion expenditure (it may be more) our share would be not less than $66,000,000. Should the Do- minion Government collect this vast sum by direct taxation, a rate of 33 mills on the dollar would have to be struck in order to raise Huron's share. To meet the Provincial and Dominion expendi• tures Huron would contribute, $1,600, - coo annually, requiring a tax rate of 3g melts -$39 of taxes ou every $t 000 of assessmen t, This expenditure lis startling, The public debt le even more so. According to the forecast of the Finance Minister at the elope of the present fiscal year, the Dominion debt will be considerably over $45o,000,000. Ontario's share will be no less than $iso,000,000. The pub. lin accounts show that the direct liabili- ties of the province are over $40,000,000 and indirect $to,000,000. Ontario's share of the aggregate debts of the Do minion and of the Province will be iu excess of $200,00m000. Were the credi- tors of the Dominion and Province to make a demand for immediate payment and the Governments undertook to raise the money in the same manner as the Provincial war tax (falsely so called) is being collected, Huron ,would be under obligation to hand over no less than $4,25o,000. The payment of this amount, together with the expenditure of the current year, would necessitate a levy of t39 mills on a dollar --a tax of $139 on a $(,000 assessment. This is not the worst of the business. After all this taxation not one Earthing of the war debt would be provided for or paid. The present Dominion Gov- ernment have, since they took office, increased the ordinary expenditure by more than forty million dollars per year. At the close of the present year unless things turn out much better than the Government anticipate, there will be a chasm between revenue and expendi- ture of $80,000,000. Last year there was a shortage of nearly $6o,000,000. An increase of $t4o,000,000 in the National debt of Canada in two years is surely enough to alarm every person who bas any consideration for his country's good more especially when it is remembered that the war debt is not included, Tbe Ontario Government in the last ten years have increased the debt from $11,000,000, to over $40,000,000. They have increased the ordinary expend'. tura by nearly 300 per cent, If this reckless expenditure by our Govern- ments overnments continue for another ten years what must the consequences bet With such burdens to bear is it any wonder farmers and business men are feeling the pinch of hard times, or that town and farm property is practically un- saleable ? We are told' that this is a country of vast resources. No person will deny the truth of such a statement. But, un- fortunately, our vast resources are being exploited very largely for tbe benefit of patriots and nation builders of tbe Gar- land, Moyes, McKenzie and Mann per- suasion. Since the Borden Government obtained power, railway promoters have received free gifts from the public till to the tune 01 24,000,000 dollars. Gov- ernment officials have been increased by more than ten thousand. Revelations that were before the various eom• the House abundant] mottoes of Y prove that the Governments are seriously afflicted with running sores -graft breaking forth in every direction. Under .pretence of raising additional revenue for war. purposes the Govern• ment made a general increase in the tariff. When it was shown that the estimated increase in revenue would fall short of meeting the ordinary expendi- ture of the country, withutit paying one penny of war debt, the mask was boldly thrown off. Every man from Mr. Bor- dendow4, who attempted a defence of Government policy, did so not from a revenue view -point but from the stand- point of giving the manufacturers more protection. It was asserted that unless the embargo on British goods were in- creased, many manufacturers would have to close down, throwing thousands of workmen out of employtnent. The Government did not forget their friends and masters the Canadian dis- tillers, An increase of 7 r -z per cent protection on their aunual output of goods is said to exceed a clear profit of more then $2,000,000, to the manu- facturers of Canadian whiskey. Otto of that huge sett they are absolved from paying one per cent. to the public revenue, At this particular orisis when other nations are sternly grappling with the drink evil, curtailing the manufacture and prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors, it is nothing short of a crime to enact legislation enabling distillers who have already amassed colossal fortunes to still further enhance their procto; at the expense of humanity.

Stewart, one of the .111110 l;'otis Bluevale boys "Who have tiradeood„ and in whose welfare we are always interested :- Principal Stewart has had the honor the past yea of holding the Presidency of Lhe Continuation School Department of Ontario Educa- tional Association. His Pr'eskieltiel address at the opening of the session W. H. STEWART, of Acton on Tuesday, was most creditable and listeued to with keen interest, Mr. Stewart commenced his work as an educationist in hienative village, Blue. vale, in Huron County, twenty-seven years ago, just as he had reached leg- al teaching age. Nearly half of his professional life has been spent in Axton as Principal of our Continua- tion and Public Schools. He received his appointment here twelve years ago. His work in Acton has been markedly successful. No other Con. tinuation School in Ontario has had greater euseeea at the annual exanine• tions and no High School has passed a higher ratio of candidates during his period as Principal. Scores of gradu- ates who are now occupying good positions throughout the country gratefully refer to the splendid tuition given them by Mr. Stewart and also to the incentives to the formation of good character and helpful habits when under his influence in Acton School. Mr. Stewart is an exceptionally strong teacher of mathematics and science, The Board has been fortunate during all the years in supporting him with able and experienced assistants. icy will stimulate production. Perhaps it may, but it will do vastly more for the production of stimulauts. The general increase in the tariff is going to enchance the price of matte• factured articles in nearly every line, , I am told by an implement agent, who is a Tory, that prior to the announcement of the Government on the tariff changes the manufacturers had issued their price lists for the present year. Immediately after that announcement they called iu those lists and issued new ones. Ac cording to the latter the selling price of a binder this year is alter May 1st, seven per cent more than the price of last year. I have the information from a reliable source that the primary cost of raw material of a binder is less than thirty dollars, The margin between the cost of the rate material and the finished producttepresents skilled labor, agents commissions, tran sporatlon charges and manufacturers profits. By virtue of tariff increase the raw material of a binder may cost the manufacturer two dollars more than i- cost previous ;o the change. But he charges ten dollars more for his machine. The fanner who buys a binder pays a war tax of ten dol- lars. Two dolfars go to the public treasury and eight to private members of the favored circle, 'there is a much quoted saying, "Peace hath her victories more glori- ous then war," but to the Government beneficiaries war hath her victories more glorious than peace. Surely this country has had euough of this wasteful, deceptive method of collecting revenue and its twin evil -reckless, extravagant, irrespoosible Government. Yours Truly, ARCH. HISLOS.

We are one of five Counties in Ontario where the traffic is outlawed and if our people are true to their convictions that day will never dawn when this licensed evil shall again receive our endorsement, 'Po say that there is no liquor being sold in our County would not be speak. ing the truth. but we also say that in the places where liquor is beteg sold the responsibility for allowing such sales may be placed at the doors of the local constables and local officials. There is not a Municipality in the County where the sale cannot be stopped it the Constables and officials so decide, and if our temperance friends do not demand this of their officers, then they some res onsi free from are not entirelyp bility, Do you know of some violation ?

The Spectator's pass bore the notice to be at door Number Four before six, though services began at eight. Yet even with a special pass and before six the queue was there ahead of him. What the people did who had not passes was revealed by a ratan in the line, who said with emphasis that he had no time to come without a pass "The people begin coming in on the trains at five in the morning, some of them, and at 7 there'a a crowd at the doors, and they open at nine. Those that can't get in wait around until the afternoon service and- folks begin coming at noon to get in for the ev ening.' "The delegations of business work - ere don't have to cone 90 early," said his companion. "My cousin is a Pen- nsylvania Railroad man. They came in several thousand strong, and the seats were kelttfot-them. Every night there are big special reservations. That's the best way to get itl', if you can. But now there ate reservations ahead for every night and no more chances for those that apply this late. The Tabernacle is so big that it's tak- en away Billy's voice trying to speak in it, and yet it isn't half big enough for the people who want to hear him. Policeman! Can't you keep these people from crowding into the line where they don't .belong P't But the policeman, though stalwart, evidently flinched et the task, "Get back there, can't you" ? he said loudly. "Go to the end of the line 1 but he madeno effort tq enfol'ee his words. Another officer, standing nearer, gave a confl• dential wink to the;Speptator, "It's a hard crowd to handle -there's so many women in it," he said. "Say, the day for women oily -there was threw crowds -well, we, just gave 'em up! We couldn't handle'em and we knew it and they knew it 1" This tribute to the gentler sex was well deserved. Men, coating late look- ed at the queue and went back to the end of It. The women, however hung around and inserted themselves here. and there gently but firmly. There Was a girl itt a very gay plaid ulster who made for thee head of the line and clung like a limpet to its outer edge, As the queue moved up to the narrow doorway and the Spectator finally passed in, squeezed almost flat in the process, s Ite saw the ulster bob- bing on the tide, in a boiling eddy, an Po speak. "f hope she gets in, she needs it 1" said the ggu'I in green, re- signedly and everybody who heard laughed. For it was a moat good-natured crowd. The brotherly apn'it was in it, and everybody fraternized with every- body else. A pleasant -faced usher took the Spectator to a well-filled bench near the fcott, and asked those already in possession to niove up and move they did without a murmur, so that he secured an excellent end seat, Above and around stretched the queer love, wooden roof, slanting down all the sway to the back, with its forest of branching supporta and its sky -lights and ventilators. The choir benches rose behind the small pulpit -platform, which had room on it only for a grand piano and a white -draped little read- ing -desk with pp k h n bunch of calla lilies g and puseywi1lows on the front of it. Absolute simplicity was the note of it all -pine benches, pine platform, saw- dust, floor and for decoration nothing but the White muslin of the desk and. three great signs behind the choir. The square one in the centre read :- "Saved for Service, Christ in Phila.,, Philo, for Christ." And oh either side ran a long, nar- row alga, reading "Get right with God." The audience stretched away on the benches on the level sawdust floor, thousands upon thousands, packed close and mostly men.

My husband is police officer and lie says they cer- taittly get every kind into the Taber - , That was the vivid impression made of the Spectator from first to last - that it was a folk sleeting. It was not a church service, lnnr like one, It was a corning together of the people and they trade the meeting as unique on their part, as 'Billy Sunday did on his. Delegations carne in with brass bands thumping at the doors, like a political convention. Enormous floty- er pieces and large brown paper pack- ages were carried up the aisles and set on the platform. The leader of the singing, Hotter Rodeheaver, called "Body" by the crowd, busied himself in opening the packages and arrang- ing theta. His shining brass, trom- bone lay on the desk. After a While a ripple of applause at the front showed that Sunday had come in by the choir entrance and had been recognized. The opening of the packages went on, the evangelistquietly removed his big overcoat., folded it, and looked about for an unoccupied spot in which to put it. "They never leave a spot for that man tot lay his things," said the Spec. tot's neighbo', as Sunday pushed the coat and his soft hat under the piano. It was all simple and homely -neither dignity not. lank of dignity was con- sidered, one felt -but a certain note of plainness and sincerity' resnited, The singing began ; at Hist plain, congregational singing out of the hymn -honks of familiar music that half the audience had brought or bought atthe doers or front the side- walk yetdora for ble eks around. Then the delegations were repognieed and welcomed by "Rudy" after this wise ; "1 see we have still with us to -night a delegation from the S—$ardware Company, Will you stand up please?" Two of three hundred men rose in the middle block of seats. They would have made an imposing impression in any ordinary sized building. In the Tabernacle they looked like a small group. "Glad to see you? What's the hymn you like best? No, 40? Very well. Now we have the people hem the M—Mills. They're a fine crowd. Stand up and let's see you," A Hutch larger group rose, over to the left. "Well, well 1 How many of yon are there ? Two thousand -that's good. CVhat's the song you like the best? No..15 ? We'll sing it -one verse any- way. We're sorry we can't sing all the hymns, but there isn't time. Now let's see the delegation from R— Brothers. Good for you 1". as several hundred then and wotneu rose. "What hymn do you want?" After perhaps ten delegations had been thus recognized, the hymns began, one after another, one verse of each, Sometimes "Body" would use his trombone for a solo verse and let choir and audience sing the chorus, Some- times the choir alone would sing the chorus and then again part of the audience were asked to sing one line and part another with very effective results, "Brighten the corner where you are," asked for by several delega- tions, was echoed from Conner to corn- er in this way. But the unmistake- able favorite was "The Brewer's Big Hot sea," whose chorus ran as follows "Oh, no, boys 1 Oh, no, Oh, no 1 The turnpike's €Fee, wherever I go 1 I'm a teulperaupe engine, don't you see? And the brewer's big horses can't run over me 1" The third line of this was accom- panied by the sudden racket of a con- cealed gong, the loud whistling of many met in the choir and various "engine" Noises by the enthusiastic audience. It had to be repeated so popular was it ; and the temperance workers, who were 00 hand that even- ing carrying around petitions to sign foe local option, found their work helped forward most acceptably. Thein cattle the gifts. Each gift was „ aeonytined held n) by"Rod and. 1 dgwitit thanks byhim int acknowledged behalf of the recipient.
