PM* el Dear Expositor . -e -in The Expositor of two weeks jag° you drew (the attention of your readers' to ahe magnitade of the new taxes imposed by the Ontario Goveinment. Tour comment thereon suggested to emeeehat if the (total „pab- lic e imenditures of the country -were brought to the attention .of the people In the same (way there might besome serious thought In the minds of the over -wrought dntolligent taxpayers. By reference to Ithe public accouots of the Province- I find that the ordinary ex penditure for -last year was $11,819,- 310.65 of ill rotmd numbers twelve mil- lion dollars. (The Provincial Treasurer in announcing his new saherne of !taxa- tion estimated the receipts at abouti $2,000,000lauron's contribution is ae you ,point - out $42,501, Aso Huron will pay 1-47 of the so-called provincial war tax. - Let us suppose the total expenditure of the province was met by direc taxation and Huron would have to raise $255,000 tor six mills on the dol lar. Pleas means that every person Grey, April atle, 19,15.

According to 'the latter the selling arice of a binder this year les. after May 1st, sevenpercent more than ,the price of last _yeaa. I have ;the in- formation from a reliable source that the primary , cost of the raw material of a binder is lessthan thirty dollar Tbe- margin between the cost of the raw materiel and the finished product represents sidlied 'labor, agents com- missions, transportation charges and manufacturers profits.

But there is a government at Ottawa that does things cm, a far, grander scale le the way of e3spenditure than the On- tario Government.. • _ The Finance Minister purposes spend- 4ng $200,000,000 -during the current year. Assuming that Ontario pays one-third of the Dominion expenditure (it may be more) our ,share would be no (less than $66,000,000. Should the Dominion Gov- ernment collect this vast sum by direct taxation, a rate of 33 mills on the dol- lar would have to be struck in order to raise lauron'e share. To meet the Provincial and Dominion ex,pendituree Huron would contribute $1,600,000 an- nually, requiring a tax rate of 39 mille -$39 of taxes on every $1,000 of assess- ment. . This expenditure is startling. Tile public debt is evenanore so. According to the forecast of the Finan.ce Minister at the close sof tile present fiscal year. the Dominion debt will be considerably ver $450,000,000. Ontario's share will e no 'less than $150,000,000. The public ccounte show that the direct liabili- ties of ,the province are over $40,000,000 nd Indirect $10,000,000.

Of course, this is a common oc- curence, I did not take any particu- lar notice of it at the tine. However, it did not break up as quickly as colds generally did with me, so after two -Weeks, and no sign of improvement, I began to get alarmed, and went to my local physician who informed me that I had contracted severe'bronchial trouble as a result of neglecting my cold. He pre- scribed some medicine for me, which I took for about two weeks without any sign- of improvement. I was getting pretty much discouraged. by then, but one day a friend happened to be in to whom I was relating -my trouble, and he advised me to try Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, saying that he had obtained very beneficial results from its use in a similar case. took his advice and procured several bottles from my drug- gist. After taking it, according to direc- tions, for about two days, noticed ° a decided improvement, and from that day on I began to get better, and in ten days was in my usual health. I con- sider this an excellent showing for your remedy, and can highly recommend it to anyone afflicted as I was. I shall always put in a good word for it whenever the opportunity offers itself."

The principal ones are, a feeling of fright when in crowded places, a dread, of being alone, , fear of being in a confined place, a horror of society, a dread of things falling from above, fright at travelling on railroad trains, and disturbed and restless, un- refreshing sleep, often troubled with dreams..

Revelations now panaisag before the various committees of the Rouse abundantly prove that the Government are, seriously afflicted with running sores -graft breaking forth in every di- rection. Under pretence of raising ad- ditional revenue for war purposes the Government made a general increase in the tariff. When it was shown that the estimated increase in revenue would fall far short of meeting the ordinary expenditure of the coantry, without paying one penny of war debt, the mask was baldly thrown off.

It was asserted that unless the erh- berg° on (British goods were increased, many manufacturers would have to close down, throwing thousands of workmen out of employment.

The floor of the church is on the incilhe giving everybody a good opportunity of seeing the minitter. Che accoustic pro- perties of the auditorium are good. There are three aublic entrances to the church, two from William street and the third from Princess street, whin will make easy ingress and eg- ress. The 'basement is a ftne , roomy place high ceiling and has 12 class- rooms with folding doors. There is al- so a kitchen with necessary conveni- ences for dishes, water, etc. Two lav- atories are conveniently located. The furnace room contains a single pipe, low preseure gravity return system, Gurney Company furnace and 41 radi- ators, located' .at various points, and guaranteed to comfortably heat the building in the coldest weather. T.he total estimated cost is about $25,- 000 and at is expected that $15,000 of this will are (wiped oaf by the time the opening services are completed, and as the congregation is large and well-to- do, the balance should be met at easy stages, without any trouble. The new pulpit was a donation from Rev. and Mrs. Ross; the two leather upholster- ed chairs ,by t Mrs. -J.
