As the Opposition has nailed "unrestricted reciprocity" to the mast head, the following remarks show it would result in a loss to this country of $18,000,000, annual- ly, which would have to be met by direct taxation : MR. FOSTER -The hon. gentleman (Sir Richard Cartwright) stated, and I have it here in black and white, that what the country will lose will be $8,000,000 ; what the people will gain will be $16,000,000. My bon. friend cannot get away from that statement. Sir RICHARD CARTWRIGH1'- They will gain more, faoturing Ocuintry, and .expect: to et the ewe duties on our iia ortattona t ' from other countriesvhtoh we do now. We would not get the same, amount of duties or anything like. Sir, tbp hon. gentleman will have then a revenue of about $18,000,003 on the present Seale of duties. What has he to meet? He will have to meet interest charge and sinking fund, which are as unalterable as the laws of the NI.edes and Persians, if we do not Intend to repudiate, amount, log to $11,800,000. He will have to meet provincial subsidies, which are now $4,000,000, but which will be $6,000,000 after hon. gentlemen ops posits get through one winter's legislation. Begane, sir, talk as you may about being tied up or owned by a chattel mortgage or anything of that kind, the hon. the leader of the -Opposition has pledged himself to Mr. Mercier. and he stands or falls by his pledge in Quebec, and his party stands or falls with bins on this pledge. He has pledged himself that when he obtains power at Ottawa he will ADD $2,OJO,000 TO THE PROVINCIAL SUBSIDIES ancIthis is not the assertion of a news paper, but the deliberate statement of the leader of the Opposition, made this session from his seat on the opposite side of the House. Iie will haye to meet for collection of revenue, which is almost entirely for the railways and canals and post - offices, which, I do not suppose, he intends to skimp, $9,000,000, making a total of $27,003,000 required to meet costs and charges which .can- not be escaped, and all be will have to meet them with is $18,000,000 revenue. That leaves him with f, deficit of $9,000,000, And then what has he to face? He has to face the Indian expenditure, which is about $1,000,000; the administration of justice, which is about $700,000; civil government, $1,300,000 i legislation, $932,030 ; penitentiaries, $350,000 ; militia, $1,300,000 ; police, $750,001); lighthouse and coast service, $500,• 000; immigration, etc., $300,000; public works, $1,500,000. Public works he may reduce by skimping these works,hut if he attempts to do that, he wilhave the hon. member for Brant (Mr. Paterson) to reckon with, because that hon. gentleman warned us that we were not going to get any quarter or credit on account of any economy we migt effect in reducing Mr. FOSTER -I will not quarrel with the hon, gentleman as to what they will gain. The question is what we shall lose in point of revenue, and the bon, gentleman says it is $8,000,- 000. Now, my hon. friend is too old and experienced a financier not to know that he will lose more than $8,000,000. Let me tell him what he will lose. Iie will lose $8,220,000 on United States imports alone, on a parity of the imports of last year. He will lose the duties paid on all goods from other countries, which will no longer come when there iS a'',aiy against them, while e same classes an^a• ,..s come from the United States without any duty at all. I hold in my band a statement of all the im- ports for the year ending 30th June, 1890, and what do I find ? I find that in manfactures of brass from the United States we imported $340,000 worth, and from other countries $120,000 worth. Let the American brass manufactures come in free, and put a duty of 35 per cent. against all other countries, and how much of the dutiable articles will come in com- petition with the free articles of the same class ? Does not my hon. friend see that he will have to lose the major part, perhaps all of that ? Take the article of buttons. We im- ported from the United States $80,. 000 worth, and from other countries $193,000 worth. Let the buttons from the United Seates come in free and keep the duty upon buttons from other county ies, and a large pro- portion of that import will cease. Cotton manufactures. Last year we imported from the United States $748,000 worth, and $4,214,000 from other countries. Keep your duty of 50 per cent. or so against the manufactures of other countries, while those from the United States come in free, and I want to know how much duty-paid cotton importations -will-comer into the -mann tty. And so you may go through the whole list, and you will find, when you come to the end of it, that from articles brought from the United States and articles brought from other coun- tries, equal classes of manufaotures In the main, we get duties equal to $8,000,000 from the United States and equal to $15,750,000 from other countries, and I take the without a. political scramble. By the laws of good luck we sometime, get a learned, humane, and able judge, even out of that "political scramble," but not often. There are judges who morally do not know the difference between the writ of Habeas Corpus and a pair of hand cuffs." THE PUBLIC WORKS of the country, which must be necessarily carried on. Ocean and river service, $400,000; fisheries, $320,000, making a total of $9,500,- 000. Add that to the deficit and we find that makes $18,000,000 which be will haye to make up. Sir RICHARD CARTWRIGHT- Hear, hear. Mr. FOSTER -My hon friend can call "hear, hear," until doomsday, but I ask him to set himself down to the work of practically disproving this calculation. L°at him show by any process of practical calculation how anything else can take place under this plan. I ask the hon. member for Iberville (Mr. Beohard), who has given this House his convictions with reference to direct taxation, to look into that, question and to ask his hailers, before he follows them any longer in this policy, how they are going to make up that deficiency of $l , 't0,000 with out resorting to di- rect taxation. Direct taxation -it is in the air, and if it is not in the air, there is a practical necessity strong- er than the fates of old which sat re- lentless above the will of men and gods, which will drive them on to di- rect taxation in spite of themselves, if once they adopt unrestricted reci- procity. There is no other way to' meet the deficit that is bound to oc- cur. Let them put A HIGHER TAX ON MANUFACTURED GOODS. and see how that will work. Every 10 per cent. they add -say on hard- ware coming from Great Britain, while they allow hardware from the United States in free-will simply raise the wall of prohibition against English goods still higher, and pre- vent their importation, to the advan• tage of the American manufacturer. There will be no door open out of the difficulty but direct taxation. My hon. friend from South Oxford has stated over and over again that no- thing but the incomprehensible stu- pidity of the people of Canada pre- vents them from adopting direct tax- ation. Sir. RICHARD CARTWRIGIIT- Hear, hear. CALCULATION AS A REASONABLE ONE that if we adopt unrestricted recipro city, if we keep up our duties against other countries but abolish them as regards the United States, we will lose at least two thirds of the duties we now collect on goods coming in from Great Britain. That is $G,000,• 000 we will lose on duties in connec- tion with our trade with Great Bri- tain. On goods from other countries, besides Great 'Britain, we collect duties amounting to $6,210,000. We have already dropped a third of these by striking off the sugar duties. We will drop at •least $1,000,000 more, and that would have only $3,000,000 from that source, leaving to be got from the entire duties, under this calculation, and 1 am prepared to trust it, a total of $18,000,000, under unrestricted reciprocity. I invite my hon. friend to answer. Sir RICHARD CARTWRIGHT-It is too childish to answer that. Mr. FOSTER -I invite my hon. ..friendto•:show ..,how= he- -proposes to put a high tariff wall against other countries, and let in goods free from the United States, that great menu - +M EDITORIAL NOTES. Commander-in•chief Veazy iu addressing the Grand Army of the Republic the other day defined loyalty in this way : "We mean by loyalty that loyalty which denies the right of secession and recognizes the right of coercion to suppress secession. This was the solid ground upon which the govern- ment stands and the only one upon which it can stand." We commend this to the consideration of the admirers of Papineau and Riel. Were Canadian rebels under the stars and stripes and "kicked up dog" there as they have done in Canada they would receive a practi- cal illustration of what loyalty meant not at all agreeable to their super sensitive souls, The Toronto Mail has sometimes bees alluded to as the "minister's tisper", though lie utterances are often those of the agnostic or infidel. In last week's Scottish Canadian a Mr. Fenwick calls attention to its peculiar views :- Part of the heading of the Mail's account of Sir John A. Macdonald's funeral at Kingston consisted of these words : "Laid on the lone couch of his everlasting sleep." I wrote to the editor, oritioising them, but my article was waste- basketted. In its issue of August 5th, the Mail has a short account of the funeral of the late Miss Littlehales, a sceptic. The correspondent who sends it says that at the grave Mr. Algie, of Alton, who, I dare remark, is aleading soeps tic, "delivered a short address upon the many good qualities of the de- ceased, and then . . one of the gentlest hearts that ever beat was left to sleep forever." Tom Paine, the noted sceptic, could not go so far as this. Ifdeathbe an everlasting sleep, there is now no difference between the late Sir John A. Macdonald and a dead mule ; between the late Miss Littlehales and a dead lizard. • PREMIER Mercier has presented Cardinal Taschereau and the Rev. Cannon Bochett, cure of Ste. Anne, with the two relics of the veil of the Virgin which were given him by Mgr. Le Grange, bishop of Char- tres. They are accompanied by doc- uments attesting their authenticity. CURRENT TOPICS. A powerful letter has been writ- ten by Archbishop Walsh showing the hollowness of the Parnellile plea that Mr. Parnell's marriage with Mrs. O'Shea has whitewashed his character, according to Protes- taut principles. The Archbishop quotes the judgment of the Lambeth conference in the matter of divorce J as follows ; "Under no circum.. stances ought the guilty party in case of a divorce for adultery id bo regarded during his lifetime as an innocent party, or as fit to be recipient of the blessing of the church on his marriage." At the recent meeting of the English Wesleyan Con ferenee a committee was appointed to try to obtain an Act of Par liament rescinding Wesley's deed, undercwhicb the three years' minis- terial circuit system prevails. If such an Act is obtained the itiner- ant Wesleyan ministry, the domin ant feature of the Church, will cease to exist. Judge Altgeld, of Chicago, in ro• tiring from the bench said : "There are very many able lawyers at our bar who would be glad to serve the piiblfe bis `Tie beholi for even'a much lower salary than is now paid, pro- vided they could get the positions the moral'0ir e, by the use or tbe$e. and ,s.ilnilllr arguments, be argues forId new planono s t wr u o Ids R ods .£,los Moe. His argument, however, is not generally accepted. It should be noted that the system of land ownership advocated in this theory is not by any means new or untried. It is in use in India and in Egypt, and the systt in of yestiug all land titles in the communes, es in Russ his, or in the cantons, as in Switzer- land is essentially the same thing. Sarnia Canadian ;-"Here is a little local happening, which we commend for consideration to the ,advocate's of unrestricted reciprocity. The first load of thin season's wheat that came into Port Huron was sold by Robert Fleming, of Kimball township, to the Farmers' Elevator at 85 cents a bushel The first load of new wheat that came into Sarnia was sold by Henry Smith, of Moore, to Mr. James Major, for 95 cents a bushel. Thus we see how the national policy and the McKinley bill, and several other things con- tinne to ruin the Canadian farmer." In the face of this even so well in- formed a paper as the Chicago Inter Ocean r'epeata the silly Canadian Grit twaddle, "that wherever there are agricultural settlements on both sides of the boundary, land is worth twice the money on the United States side of the line."

"That dockyment gave permission of the people of this sovereign State for the uniting in wedlock of Jeremiah Sassafrass and Annabel 11gcJunkin," "Yee."

The food, he says, is excellent, and people eat much worse things every day. They are just as good as live oysters orlive clams, or even live scallops. To physicians Stowe is a puzzle. They can nut under- stand how the stomach can retain the foreign matter, and are skeptical. They know that similar things have been taken into the stomach, but usually it is followed by viuleni pains and cramps, which continue until it is removed, but Stowe's stomach apparently retains frogs, and digests them, too, which is still more astonishing. Stowe is married, and is about 40 years old. His health is very good. "That's bad. Went back on her promise, did she 7" "Not exactly, sir. You see she hadn't promised to marry me." "Then why did you get a li- cense i" "ft was this way. I loved her and wanted to marry her, and I thought if I got a license and took it to her she'd see I meant business, and would come to time." "And it didn't work I" "No; sir. I showed her the big seal of the State, and told her that the eyes of the whole common- wealth, through the duly qualified officers, were upon her, and that her duty was to obey the mandates of the law." "What did she say to that I" "She only laughed." "That's very sad." "Sad's no name for it, sir, and I want to know what's to be done." "I don't see any remedy." "Is a weak girl with red hair to defy the authority of the State 7" "That's about the way of it." "Can't you send an officer to im- press upon her the dignity of the Commonwealth and to make her understand that the documents issued by this office are not tobe trifled with 1" .,No.,, "Well, I suppose I can get my money back, can't I 7" "No." • "Here's the license just as it was when I took it away from here, not a bit the worse for wear." "We can't take it back, sir, or re- fund the fee." "And you ctn't compel the girl to marry me after issuing that li- cense and charging me good money for it 1" "No." "Then that settles it. The government of the present day is a hollow mockery. Henceforth I am an Anarchist of the reddest redness. You hear roe, insolent minissp of a supine and powerless state l' I go, but I return !

The proposition of Henry George is to abolish all taxes save a single tax levied on the value of land, irre, spective of the value of improve, meats in or upon it. He argues that the land tax is the ot.ly one fully collected, all personal taxes being more or less evaded by those hest able to pay. He would have the ownership of all land vested in the State, the people having the right 'to till and and use it, paying rent in the form of a tax, but having no right to sell or bequeath it, and he believes that this tax would be sufficient to provide all needed pub- lic revenues -municipal, county, state and natios,al. The arguments in fever of this change he offers as follows : 1. An army of tax gath- erers and other officials required by the present system could be dispena, ed with, thus putting into the treas- ury a much larger portion of the money paid by the people than now, and ridding ourselves of a fruitful source of bribery and corruption. 2. The production of wealth would be increased by a removal of burdens now levied upon industry, by lire- -venting -land-speculation,- by -111416 11R taxation more equable than now, and thus checking the present um equal distribution of wealth.

HE SWALLOWS LIVE FROGS, A man with one of the most cur- ious propensities lives in Shelton, Conn.. says the Philadelphia News. He has acquired an appetite for live bullfrogs, and swallowed them with the same ease he would swallow the most dainty morsel that ever was cooked. The man's name is John Stowe, -an-d he is employed -by Austin Harris. Stowe has been a resident of this place only a few years, but it is not until recently that his appetite for hull -frogs became known. One day within the week he laid a wager that he could swallow a frog alive, and was at once taken up. On Wednesday of last week the test was made on a bet of $1, five parties being present. The first one that was brought to him was too large to work down his throat, and he selected one from a creek on the Harris farm small enough to go down. He placed the frog headfirst in his mouth, shoved the remainder in with his fingers, and in an in- stant the amphibious animal was out of sight and probably jumping around in his stomach. THEY WANT NO MARRIAGE. There was gathered in Pythian hall yesterday afternoon a motley congregation of men and women bent on reforming the world. Nearly 200 individuals commonly accepted to be of erratic tendencies held the benches down when the performance began. The people's Lyceum, as the asemblage called itself, was cosmopolitan enough in appearance to justify its name, says a recent San Francisco Examiner. The proceedings were opened by Patrick Healey, the president of the society, who' explained that the burning question to be debated was. 'Resolved, that all marriage laws are unnecessary and demoralizing.' A horse -trader named Duprey opened the debate for time affirma- tive and strenuously declared that marriage is a sin and love an error 'When will we be allowed to select our mates as we please 7' he inquir- ed. `When will we be permitted to take a wife, keep her while we love her and let her go when we do not want her 7' No response was heard to Mr. Duprey's appeal, and a Mr, Jones took the floor and said ; 'Mr. President, I would like to forbear with mankind, but I will say the marriage law is a failure. It is not natural. We have evoluted from lower creations. The law allows rich men, like Lord Cumming, of England, to take young wives who do not love them, simply because they have money. I do not believe in that policy myself. If a young man marries a girl, and they do not live happy, who is to blame I' 'The Almighty,' suggested a for- ward youth in the back part of the hall. `No ! no I' exclamed Mr. Jones; 'it is the law of man. If people would marry by word of mouth alone it would be better than all the bonds of law.' `Time 1 time I' came from various parts of the hall. and the president declareti�Mr, Jones_ must yaelj A4,_ floor; whri Iieiiia with much un- willingness. A dozen men were on the floor at once. The story of the feat at once spread, and within a few days there were a number of doubting Tho- mases, who, notwithstanding the undoubted integrity of the wit- nesses, did not believe that Stowe could swallow a live frog of their selection. Stowe was willing to try the thing again, and winking, so to speak, to his friend, took another bet and appointed the day On 1‘18iiday'thb'st ddd `frog 'was swal- lowed, and the witnesses present were again astounded.
