NOTES FROM THE DOMINION
CAPITAL.
OrrAwA, April 23, 1900.
A recent issue of the Canada Gazette con-
tains an interesting supplement to the
budgets' recent speech of the Minister of
Finance, in the shape of a, statement of the
revenues and expenditures of the Dominion
for the past nine months, that is, for as
much of the cnrrent fiscal year as is com-
pleted. These figures indicate that Mr,
Fielding was not exaggerating when he es-
thnitted his record earplug' at $7,500,000.
For the month of March alone there is a
gain in reNeenue of $797,865, and a decrease
in expenditure of $490,517. Fr the nine
months' period the revenue tutalled $36,-
850, on, a gain of $3,791,231 over the same
period of 1899. For the same period e
expenditure was $26,051,550, an increase f
$930,639 over 1899, leaving a net improv
ment over last year on the nine mont
transacti,ns of $9,860,591., In capital a
ciunt a10 he expenditure ehows a large
decrease,- aliounting for the month of
March alone to $817,024. The revenue in-
creases occur in every department with but
one exception. The revenue from the due -
sem, has increased nearly $3,000.000 • the
xciae, $360,000 ; public works, $440:000 ;
ieisceIlaneous, $40,0O0; the only decrease
-ing in the postoffice, where the great re-
duction in poetage rates has caused a slight
falling off of $125,000 in the revenue.
WARE-noDThwicuLTY.
The repot t of the grain commission which
was appointed last fall by the Government
to inqeire into the grievances which were
said to exist among the farmers of the
NorthWeet, bas been submitted to Par-
liament, and= its perusal discloses the -
thoroughness with which the -commission
has carried out its work. As is generally
the case., and it certainly has been the often
repeated experience of the western farmer,
there has been great friction between the
small buyer and producer on the one hand,
and the big -dealers and the railways (who
are to a great extent the elevator owners
also) on the other. Efforts had been made
in many places by the construction of what
was known as flat warehouses, or in other
words big grain bins erected on posts by
the railway sidings, to escape the neces-
sity of dealing with the elevator owners at
all; bet the railways had been able to
make effsctive a regulations compelling the
use of the elevators where such existed to
the excluvion of all the other means of ware-
housing. There were
MINOR GRIEVANCES
also, such as the compulsory charge of
cleaning the grain, the d ckage of a pound
a bushel for alleged wast, and the facilities
which the existiog regu ations gave for the
forming of " corners ' an1 combines. The
report is distinctly favorable to the con-
tentions of the farmer, and while showing
every desire to be thoroughly fair to the
elevator owners and middlemen, it indicates
that hitherto the farmers have undoubtedly
been getting the worst of it and through no
fault of their own. The commissioners
4nake a number of suggestions based upon
the ereerience and opinion of the men best
qualified to know, namely, the farmers who
have experienced the grievances, and who
gave those experiences under oath before
the commission. These recommendations,
receiving as they no doubt will the fullest
attention from the Government, will with-
out doubt be given effect in practical legis-
lation,. and once more the development of
the great west will receive an impetus from
the intelligent policy which has been pur-
sued.

A NEW BALLOT PAPER.

eral has brought down a bill dealing with
the matter. This bill provides a new form
of ballot which is regarded ate an improve -
Ment upon the one now in use. Instead of
limiting -the voter to a email disc within
which to vote, the new ballot permits of the
cross being placed anywhere on the white
space upon which the name of thecan-
didate for whom he votes is placed. The
space in which the names of the candidates
are printed are separated by a broad black
band, upon which the pencil mark will not

e change will result in a large saving of
lic money hitherto spent in the prepar-
until the occasion becomes urgent. All I
have done is to point etit that, following the
language used by Lord Ripond, my pre-
decessor, if there is to be any kind of fiscal
arrangement' with the colonies, the only
form which I myself think would be viewed
with the slightest favor in this country
would to an imperial zillverein, in which
there should be free trade between the
whole empire and duties of some kind as
against other countries. But I have not
proposed that. I have only stated that that
alone seems to me a proposal whioh might
be scriouSly considered.'
FACTS VERSUS FANCIES.
The beat practical answer to -the charge
made in some quarters that the Laurier
Government's trade policy has betrayed and

nary activity in all lines oeimanufacturing.
The cotton companies for example, are all
enlarging their factories and increasing
their output. The Dominion Cotton Mills'

Our Poultry Industry.
(From Farming.)
Manyfarmers in this country do not rea-
lize the importance of poultry keeping as
much as they should. Notwithstanding the
attention this subject has received through
the agricultural press and at institute and
other farmers' gatherings, there are many
who still run the poultry branch of their
farms in the same old hap -hazard way, so -
curing a few eggs in the string and sum-
mer when they are cheap, and in the fall a
fowl or two for a Christmes dinner. The
poultry continue to fish fore themselves and
pick up what they can get, and even on this
cheap plan, do not begin to pay for their
keep. True this state of affai
mon than it was a few .yeers
there are many no farther ad
.decade ago.
That there is money in poultry keeping if
properly carried on has been proved over
and over again, not only by our experiment
stations, but by practical farmers who have
given the subject some attention. Both for
dressed poultry and for fresh eggs there is a
good market , at nearly. all seasons of the
year. By proper management eggs can be
produced in the winter when prices are often
more than double what they are in the
spring and summer. In this country we
have not only a good local market but also a
good opening km our poultry products in
Great Britain. Last year our exports
of eggs were not so large as in 1898. due
largely to a scarcity during the pickling
season; and the high pricos which prevented
packers from carrying on 0. profitable busi-
ness in the export line. But this is only
an incident inthe trade an

THE NORTHWEST FILLING EP.
The tide of immigration into the west
continues unabated, and already this season
i .growi g to splendid proportions. During
the firs three weeks of -March for example,
there ar 'red in the city of Calgary alone
230 imnligrants, who brought in thirty cars
of live tock and settlers' effects, valued by
the custom -office at $18,44.8. The new
comers are as a rule - fairly well supplied
with means. With very few exceptions
they .have sufficient ' 'means to tide
them over a year, or until they
can realize on the products of
their farms in the fall. .Por those who have
cows the Government efiameries furnish a
ready and convenient Means of disposing of
their milk for cash, while the steadily in-
creasing markets of British Columbia and
the local towns insure a profitable sale for
eggs, hay, potatoes, vegetables, poultry,
pork, beef and mutton.
One of the indications of increase in the
population is found in the value of settlers'
effects and hou.sebold goods coming into and
leaving' Canada. In 1896 the value of
settlers' effects corning in -4 the colintry
was $2,188,975, of which $1,714,168 was
from the United States. In 1899 the
1
figures had increased to $2,80 ,956. At the
same time the household good leaving Can-
ada had declined from $1,237,293 to $992,-
813. .There seems to be a ver considerable
current of population no thward, and
whether the settlers are A in Limns or re-
patriated Canadians' they are. likely to be-
come good citizens.- -
WRAT CHAMBERLAIN DID SAY.
The last English mail has brought papers
containing a fuller report of Mr. Chamber-
lain's speech in the House of Commons
on the Hedderwick colonial representation
resolution. It bears so directly upon- the
subject I am referring to, and so completely
contradicts the persistent assertion that Sir
Wilfrid Laurier was offered some kind of .e
preferential trade arrangement and refused
it, that I will give you a somewhat longer
quotation from his speech than has yet
appeared. Mr. Chamberlain said:"1
have often been attacked for having, as it is
said, propoeed an imperial zollverein. I
have never done anything of the sort. It is
one of those mistakes of which le -am so
largely the victim, and which, perhaps it
would hardly be worth while to contradict
s.

According to this table France heads the
list as to quality Or highest prices, and,
what may be news to many, Canada is a
very good second. France's average is 9d.
per dozen, Canada; 8ed. and Belgium, 7d.
During the past twenty years the con-
sumption in Great Britain of both eggs and
poultry has enormously increased, and the
total value at the present thne is estimated
£12,000,000 annually. In 1864 the total
imports of these products into Great Britain
were valued at £835,028, while last year
they were valued at £5,829,686, Ireland
sent to England last year eggs and poultry
to the value of two million pounds. Canada,
instead of supplying a little over a mi1li4n
dollars' worth, should supply at least fie
times that amount to Great Britain Our
eggs, as the above figures show, stand" high
in point of quality, and it would be easy to
replace some other countries supplying in-
ferior goods,

Tanner Wins.
Chief Justice Meredith gave a; decision in
the _court in Toronto a day or two ago
which is of considerable interest to the busi-
ness and legal fraternity. The decision was
in the appeal in the case of Charles E. Tan-
ner, of the firm of Lucas, Tanner and Co.,
private bankers, Blyth, -who was committed
to jail for two months for refusing to tell
the examiners in an examination for dis-
covery in a snit instieuted by the firm's
creditors, what had become of certain pro-
perty.
The Divisional Cou-4 judges refused to
uphold the order of coxprnitment. The case
was largely decided upon the constitutional
question as to wbetherthe Provincial Legis-
lature had power to pass the act tutder
which Tanner was committed to jail, and
whether such act was retroactive in its
effect. The property was made away with
before February 11, 1893, and the &assign-
ment was made on Jenuary 31, 1895, two
months before the act was passed.
The judgment says: "I am unable to see
