The New Tariff
Never In 'the history of Canada ha,s
there been Ei." Tariff which has given
ellat Universal satisfaction, and which
elicited so little adverse criticism as
)that the particulars of which Hon.
Mr. Fielding* unfolded to Parliament
and the country a few days ago. Of
course, where there are so many and
such diverse interests it would, be ab-
solutely:impossible to frame a Tariff
that would be entirely satisfactory to
every person. The Manufacturers' As-
sociation are not eatiefied with :it,
because they wanted more protec-
tion, although we hardly think they
expected their desires in this respect
would be complied with. The ultra.
Free Tradere on the other side would
like to see a further sealing down
of the duties so as to bring them
more nearly the basis of a Tariff
for revenue only. Indeed The Ex-
positor is among this number. Con-
sidering the buoyant revenue! and the
continual and growing receipts from
customs duties we think the taxa-
tion of the coun ::y night have been
still further deer' ased and greater
good than harm would result. But as
we have already said there are so
many and so div-ergified interests to
be considered that we have no doubt
the Government'beve gone as far in
:this direction as It was safe for
them, or as the country would sustain
them in doing. We must be thank-
ful for what we have -got ana if
the Government continue to use some
of their surplus revenue in decreas-
ing the public debt no one can find
much fault with them. The most
objectionable feature in eOlthe w.hole
arrangement is the continuation of
the bounties to the iron. manufactur-
ers. It is surely time that these pap -
fed esteblistuneets were able to
stand on their own foundations. The
only virtue the system has is that
the payments are direct and we can
compute at any time just whet they
do emit the country. And we -hope
that when the present four Years
term expires that there will be no
further renewals and that the boun-

She was a lady who was mucla and -
deservedly respected and her sudden

that the departure was easy and
withoutpain or suffering of any
kind.

Death of Alexander McLaren. -Mr.
-Alexander A. McLaren, fourth son
of Mr. Duncan McLaren, passed
peacefully away at the parental home'
near here on Thursday of last week.
Thiel sad event, although not 'Imes-
,,
.pected, was a severe blow to his
faintly and friends, and was .deeply
regretted in the neighborhood. Mr.
McLaren beernae affected with tuber-
colosis of the throat about a year
sago, but being young and strong and
with the lbrightest of prospects be-
fore him he was naturally -loath to
give up, and 'remained at baldness"
until about June last, when he was
faced to come home to resit and in
the hope that the change _would af-
ford the desired relief. It was not
so to te, however, as despite all that
medical skill and the best of ,nursing
could do hei gradually grew worse
until The final change came as a-
bove stated. Mr. McLaren was an
Unusually bright and eleven young
man. He 'received 'his earlier educa-
tion in ethet, Mitchell High School
and the Seaforth Collegiate Insti-
tute, preparing himself for the teach-
ing profession. He taught for three
years with marked success in the
school at Brewster, on the town line
between .Stephen and! Hay, west of
Dashwood. Leaving this he entered
the College of LaW at Detroit and
graduated from this inetitution a with
honors in 1903. He soon after com-
menced the practise of his profes
*ion in. Port Huron, Michigan, wher
he was *remarkably 'successful , ani
,
was building up a large and lucra-
tive 'practise when the illness evhich
remitted in 'hie death soveetook him.
He was 'just 80 Yea,rs of age and
was unmarried. It seems. hard for
so brilliant a career to be cut off so
soon, but such was the will of an
ever. wise Providence and who should
repine. - The deceased was not only
clever professionally, but he had an
engaging • and winning personality
which 'inspired confidOce and made
him popular with all- with whom he
came in contact. He 'Wag et -member
of the Masonic order and the funeral
on Sunday was conducted under Ma -
Sonic auspices under the direction of
Hensell lodge, and the brethren from
several surrounding lodges joined
with their brethern in Hensall in
paying a ilast =tribute of respect to
one who, although so young, was a
credit and ornament to the craft.
The sincerest sympathy of very
many friende will be extended to
ttheebereaved father and relatives'.
