FRIDAY, APRIL, llth 1870.:
MORE TAXATION.
Notwithstanding the encrmously 4rge
sums of money which have been p1acec at
the disposal of the Finance Minister, by the
new Banking Seb erne,and from other sources,
he is not yet satisfied, but crieth for more,
The expedient which ht. has now hit. upon,
is one which has been resorted to, time and
itgivin, to repler ish the coffeis of a, corrupt
and extrayegant Ministry, viz :---a.That, of
increasing the Tariff upon imported artides
This proposition of Sir. Francia Hincks',
however, is mot eohjectionableand repugnant
.than any which has yet been made by, his
predecessors .1I1 office, in so inneh :-..s he pre -
poses to le-ity'a heavy tax upon the necessa-
ries of lifte—tipon the articles .which a poor
man who is compelled to strive late and ear-
ly to obtain food and clothing for himself
and farailye must have, and cannotdo with-
out, ;tint no npon the •luxuries which usu-
ally adorn the Heti man's table.
As will be seen, by referenee to the list
: ,
ef az tides to betaxeJ, which will be found
in anether column, Sir Francis proposes to
impose a duty upon _Flour, Indian and Oat-
meal, Wheat, Coal, and Salt, and to increase
tj•ie present duty ue m all kinds of. Frnits,
ed Veeetal lea-- including Potatoes.' -Now,
-with regard to Salt, we -cannot find so much
fault, as we have stud], an abundant sup-
,
ply ourselves, that competition will be suflis
.ciently strong to preyent a. monopoly ; and
in -addition to this, an effort is being merle
by producers in the 'United Stateseto kill off
this branch of C.treatian int:lustily, by flood-
ing our markets wit h that article; at a lew-
er price than it is sold for in theirown cell''-
,
try. The imposition of a tax, therefore, up-
on- Salt, may have a beneficial effect
and wid not prove a burden upon our pece
pie. But to impoee a tax upon; Flour,
Wheat, and other articles' already mention-
ed, is, certainly, we think, a grave.mistake,
and one whicl; will prove most oppressive to
:. a, large portion of the people of the country.
Take for instance, the articles el Corn meal
and Coal, both of which are, -and must. con-
tinue to be, largely imported fiber) the Mu-
ted States. This country- is nbt adapted for
growth of corn, whereas it is extensive
ly culfivated in the neighboring Republic,
and to impose a tax npon it, -is simply im-
posing r n additional burden upon the poor
men. It is taking his- bard earned money
ont of his pockets, to bestow it upon a pack
OF pal itical swindle) s, •nIbungry Cormorants,
WL0 are contineally to be found lounging
uader tl e Goveinment table, ready to grasp
up every crumb which -their Masters suc-
ceed in wringing fret's the bard-wel king, hc-
nest, mai industrious people of the country.
With regard to coal : New that our forests
are being cleared un, and wood is becoming
scarce, coal is becoming more of a necessary
article of;consurrintion year by year, and ..
why a tax ehould be imposed upon it; we
cannot imiigine, unless it ie another bone
thrown to. the people of Nova Scotia, .in or-
der to keep their Mouths closed, and prevent
them from kickingoverthe Confederation
trace's for another season.
It may be maintsined that the same aie
guinea can he used to justify the protec-
tion of coal, as to justify the protection of
salt. But such is not the case. There, is
no such abundance of coal in the United
States as there is of salt, and besides, the on-
ly opponent which the Nova Scotian s have
to COM pete with in this matter, is the -Uirited
Stat'ee whereas in .the article of salt we have
to enetend with England as well as with -
the Sts. So that, tak-ing the supplyof
salt which we receive from Liverpool,' to-
gether with what we are able to produce
ourselves, and there is no danger of a sail
monopoly -being established. 0n the other
hand, by heavily taxing American
coal, we give to the Nov... SCOtlaDS an op-
portuiiity of raiaitag the price of their article
to equuti the price demanded by the Amerie
cans, Mlle the duty, Thus, it will be seen,
-that by imposing a duty :-.pon this necessary,
as proposed by Si Franeis Hincks; we
will not only be compelled to pay a higher
price for it hereafter than we have done
heretofore, but an undue advantage will be
given to the grumbling 'and never-te-be- sat-
isfied people of that Province, at the expense
of fite people of Ontario.,
' When is this system of annually increas-
ing the taxation of the -country, and adding
to the burdens which thepeople- have to
bear, - going- to =lag ? Eat'11 successive in-
cumbent of the Finance Department,—and
geodness knows we have bad variety enough
for the past-fotir years,—is bound to try
his hand at tinkming with the Tariff, and
every change that is made an additional
burden is imposed upon the people. One
Year a tax is imposed upon certain article,
the next year it is increased, and at the pre-
sent rate of proceeding, we will soon be
ble sed with a tax equalling that of our
neighbours across the lines. IS it not 'ugh
time that we should begin to enquire,
" Whither_are we drifting'?" What benefit
will the few dollars which we .are enabled
to save yearlyby the boasted economy of
our Ontario Rulers, be to us, if the autho-
rities At Ottawa are allowed to squander,
annually, a sum a thousand times larger
than our -Provincial savings amount to?
(Newby should we, in Ontario, spend money
in endeavouring to encourage emigration to
the cc untrY, h in our Dondition Rulers are
doing all in their power to thwart our ob-
ject, by imposing. a heavy tax upon those
articles which the Emigrant requires for
consumption, and squandering the money
gained from these taxed neceastriesupen po-
litical jobbers, such as the late lessee of the
York Roads, and in buying support to main-
-tabs theniselvea in power.
It is high time that the people of the
country were becoming aroused to a sense
of the p� ition into whish the country
is being plunged by the men now in autho-
rity: So long as Sir John A. Macdonald.
aided by such notorious corruptionists and
spendthrifts a$ Sir F. Hincks, and Sir G. E,
Uartier, have the management and dispens-
ing of the Country's treasures, we need not
expect anything else than that our taxes
wil* be increased; our money squandered,
our honest debts left unpaid, and required
and urgent nubile intproyements left unper-
formed. Drive these men from power, and
place honest, industrious and provident
Statesmen in their p!a-es, and we way then
look forward to a bright and prosperous fu-
ture for our Derninion, and not till then.
• DEATH OF HON.M. H. FOLEY.
One by one, the old and 'prominent -Poli-
ticians ancl Statesmen of the country are pee-
.
sing from the stage of life. The last or
these, who has been take': away, ls the Hon.
•M. H. Foley, who died at his residence, in
Sienooe, on Saturday last, after a short ill-
ness.
Mr. Foley, for a number of years, repte-
sensed the North Riding of Waterloo'in the
old Parliament of Canada. FIe was, also,
at one time, elected as the Reform Candi-
date for the County of Perth, in opposition
to Mr. T. M. Daly, anu represented both
constituencies in Iiarlianierit for a consider-
able period, until he was called it:eon to take
the office of Postanaster-General in the Mac-
denalcl-Sicotte Go‘ eminent.' His accept
lance of this office prevented him front again
contesting both constituencies, and he ac-
cordingly gave up Perth, and was re elected
by acclamation for Waterloo. He occupied
the position of P.M. General until the de-
feat of the Government of which he was
•a member. Upon the formation •of the
Macdonald -Dorian Government, which im
mediately followed the Macdonald-Sicotte,
Mr. Foley was not included in the Govern-
ment. Taking offence at this apparent
slight, he turned hi a back upon his old
Menus, joined 'hands with those whom be
had for a lifetime violeutly opposed, and did
2:11 in his power to defeat the Government
of the day, which, in a slier., time was ac-
complished. The defeat of the Government
caused an appeal to the people, when Mr.
Foley was rejected by his old coastitnenfs,
and retired from the arena of public life.
-For several years past he has been engaged
in the practice of his proiesSione—law--iu
the town of Sinicoe.
Mr. Foley was a man of great ability, RD
excellent public • speaker, and possesssd of
many good traits of character. Prior to
committing the fatal error whiclii caused his
political destruction', he occupied a most
prominent position in the ranks of the Re-
form party, ancl was highly esteemed and
much respected by men of all shades of pol-
itics. •
TOO FAST.
"In its last issue the EXPOSITOR devotes nearly
a -column to puerile praise of the .Hincks bastard
Banking scheme."—Signat.-
If our Goderich brother, will but open his
eyes a little wider, and read the article' re-
ferrect to again, he wilT see that, instead of
" devotieg a column to Puerile praise ofthe
Hincks bastardBanking scheme," we merely
endeavored to discuss the scheme on its
merits. He will see that we do not class
the Banking seheme as either "good, pro -
a
t'reesive, or wholesome legislation." 011
the contrary, we consider that itis extreme-
ly faulty in many respects; but, at the same
time, we do not believe that it will entail
upon thA counrty the fearful amount of mis-
chief and ruin, which the AS'ignal and jour-
nals of like ilk, affect to uelieve that it will.
We censider it to be the duty, of every public
journahlst, to discuss all measures upon their
merits, and not condemn them in toto, be-
cause they linty perchance originate from
political opponents, or praise theru, because
they owe their paternity to political friends.
In the discussion of all public coestions, we
exercisesour on judgment, and do not take
our cue from any man, or any leading- jour-
nal. We do our own thinking, and do not
depend upon others to do it for us. Does
the Signal understand? •
RiIEL'S DELEGATES, RiD110t and Scott, ar-

lives by passing through Ontario. It is

DROWNED- AT SEA.

sister. The captain and agents of the ship in
Melbourne took every step to announce the fact
by advertising, &c., but.' to no purpose. and the
firat intimation his relatives here had of the event
was by a letter from the owners of the ship in
London, who got the news from the captain on his

POOR SCOTT.
The followingextract from a conversation
held between a reporter of the Toronto Tele-
graphond a gentleman recently r.4tiritt41.
from Red River,.at the Rossia Clouse, Tonal-
toi on Monday last, shows most clearly the
ja6-bareus manner in which poor Scott vas
murdered... The statementiyas made by a
geatleman iu whom the ntmo:t reliahility
nejil-- be placed, and the reading of the horri
ble detail;;, is almost Sufficient to - nuke tlw.
blod of any humane mortal, boil with feel
inea of resentment and iedirennation :—
e
"Reporter—Can you give:me any further
particulars of Scott's murder. .
Mr. A—Yes. He was brutally treated,
and when, taken ont-of the Fort With his
hands tied behind hill, showed resolittit)ti
and courage worthy of a Canadian. A. file
of six men were detailed to murder him.
-Four of them tired itild h4 the poor fellow,
one miesed fire and the sixth fired over his
shot at il a half-breed, the ball razing his
head. After Scott fell he moasie , and was
forehead. This did not puthim out*of agony.
While sufferir.g perfect agony he was snov-
ed into his (-alai and for two hour e moaned
and muttered unintelligible words. About
two hours 11 fter he seemed tOsuffer still mole
intensely and was heard to say i distinctly i
"MY GOD, MY GOD, TAKE ME AWAY—SHOOT
ME !" At this junctitre a half-breed placed
the muzzle of a revolver at one of his ears
and fired, the ball entering, the ear and
coming out nt his nionth.
Reporter-- Was he ever offered hiS life?
Mr. A—Yes, on condition that he taotild
beg it of Riel.
Reporter—Did he?
Mr. A --:-No, he fiirmly refused to ask his•
life from Riel or any other of the murderiug
horde. 1
Reporter—Was it Riel who decided the
death of Ficott. -
l Mr. A—Yes ; the Court-M:trtial acted
by his dictum. In fact, Riel was afraid of
his life.
Reporter—What part did Richot takes?
Mr. A.—He was at, the bottom of it. He
justifies the murder, and hints that the
Church acquiesced in it.
Reporter—Was Riel present at Scott's
murder 7
Mr. A.—Yes; he was. He was under
the influeuce of liquor, and was so excited
that` he knew not even those who weri-3 per-
fectly familiar with him. After the' mur-
der he drank till he was stmiid, 'and was un-
fit to see any cme during the balance of the

posed 1. provide that all salt from Eng-

mitted free. Then he proposed to put a
duty of 50 a pound on hops. He proposed
t� i epeal specific duties at present upon

specific exemptioa foe animals imported for
impros °merit of stock, and put an ad valor-
em upon animals of all kinds, with the same
exception in favor of arimals for the im-

al duty, not upon value of the artiele, but
upon old duties the practical effect upon all
articles paying 15 per centad valorem
would ie three quarter additional ad vats ,
orem. Ile proposed to substitute it new
louse fnr the old one, with regard to the
manner of assessing duties upon invoice.,
he had adopted almost verbatim the system
enforced in the *United States The follow -
Lig is the resolution :—The value for duty
of goods, on which an ad 'valo,en duty is
imposea, imperted into Canada by sea s'itall
be the iretual value of such goous on ship
uoard at leagt in the place of their ship-
ment to Canada, and the value of such
goods for duty if imported from the -United
States, by hu.d or inland navigation, shall
ho the ;lethal value of such zoods at the
place at which they are purchased for im-
vartattion into Canada, and whence they are
directly COD Veye CI without change of pack-,
age to 'Canada, and such :value shall be as-
ce.rtained by adding to the value of such
goods at the place of growth ptoduction or
manufacture the' cost of transportation,
whether hy land or- water, and of shipmeat
and transhipment with all expenses inehtd
ed from the place of growth, production or
manufacture to the vessel in which tf.e
shipment thereof is made to Canada or to
the place where the goods are purchased in
t he 'United States, and whence they are di-
rectly convexed to and carried. as afore-
said and including also the -value of any
box, case, rack, package, or covering of any _-
kind in which such goods are contained,
and all export duty on such goods and all
costs and charges inciirred in placing sus.h
goods on shipboar-d Or in the vessels, oars,
or carti:yre in which they are to be con-
veyed to Canada."
He proposed a custom duty on cigars of
45c pa.- pound. Vinegar and ascetic acid
would be at ten cents a gallon, and thbacco
and snaff would be at 12,1- per cent ad val-
orem zuld 20 cents per pound. He. would
strike out the exceptions in favor of par-
ticular kinds of machinery. There were a
few othei articles of 'trifling character, 1'0 -old
and silver leaf, every paper of whichhe
proposed to place on the free list. He pr.o-
pesed to increase the ad valorem duty on
wine from 20 to 25 per cent. Some ten
or twelve varieties of -colors were admitted
free when used by ruled paper makeis and
paper stainers, and be now proposed to
strike out this limitation and - admit colors
free -to all. He also intended to add to the
free list bookbinders' mill boards, and bind-
ers' cloth. The excise at present upon
manufactured tobacco were of two kinds
five and ten cents. He proposed to make '
them tea and fifteen cents and cigars 30c
per pound.
