Where the Counties Gain The Globe draws attention to a fact in connection with Registrar's fees that has evidently been overlooked in the discussion taking place thereon. Some time ago the government decided that all fees earned by Registrars above a certain amount, should revert to the municipality, and during the 20 years that this act ha6 been in force, the sum of $684,278 has been returned to the various municipalities in the Pro- vince, Of this amount the County of Huron has received nearly $40,000, or equal to $2000 a year. This is no un - considerable sum, and deducted from the total receipts of the office, does .not show the excessive salary some would make out. A Fundamental Truth. In an address before the Toronto Young Liberals, on Monday evening last, the Hon. T. H. Davies, of Nova Scotia, made a capital address, in the course of which he made the following sensible statements:— On Saturday evening, April 14th, there will be held in the Salvation Army Barracks, Clinton, a most inter- esting Musical Reading entitled "Charlie the foot ball player." Doors open at 7.30, meeting starts at8o clock. 1+.verybcdy invited, all seats free; ane t will be a collection taker. up to expenses. The Transfer Committee of the Meth- odist Church ;Met at Toronto on Thurs- e into the Toronto and Montreal Conflast. Several transfers were e - cnces, but there were no actual.trans- fers either into or out of the Guelph Conference. Rev W. Bryers, superan- nuated, who has been living at Acton, though a member of London Confer- ence, came into the Guelph Conference, and Rev W. Wilmot, of Guelph, went into the London Con'iference. The fact. that no transfers were made will de- stroy the calculations of congregations who have invited ministers from other conferences, and ministers who had received invitations from churches in other conferences, will not be able to accept. CO) "The Liberals held that the Govern- ment should abstain, as far as possible, from interfering with the commercial relations of the country; that the mer- chants knew their business better than the Ministers did, and that the men at Ottawa should mind their own business and allow the merchants to mind theirs. Opposed to the protec- tive policy was the free trade system. 9th inst., a very satisfactory alance Great Britain tried it 50 years ago, and theet chu and h statement wardens, showing the oresented f The following facts concerning the contributions from different churches are gathered from the report of the Methodist Church of Canada :—The amount raised in the Guelph Confer- ence, towards the Education l- Fund, was $2,447, Toronto and Montreal Con- ferences alone exceeded this amount.

Toronto, February 28th, 1894 PROCEEDINGS• The President, Bir William Howland, moved the adoption of the report and statements submitted to the meeting, and, in doing so, briefly referred to the oommer, mai stringency which had existed during the past year over the larger/portion of the oivilized world, and the responsibility and anxiety which it imposed upon those having charge of the management of institutions of this kind and on all other oonneoted with the monetary affairs of the country, but stated that it was satisfactory to know that the stringenoy which existed in finan- cial matters had not been so great in Can- ada as had been the case in other countries. In view of these oireumatances it was particularly gratifying to report the large volume of business whioh had been secured by the aesociation during the past year, and for the very general measure of prosperity which had, attended the operations of the oompany. - He referred to the loss whioh the board had sustained in the loss of thug dear friend and colleague, the, late Mr William Elliot, Vice -President, who had been as- sociated with the company and had given constant and unremitting attention to its affairs during that long period of time. Mr E. Hooper, Vioe-President, seoonded the resolution, and said: "I have great pleasure in seoonding this resolution. I certainly must express myself as well pleased with the result of the year's busi- ness, which is the largest done by the com- pany in apy year since its organization. We have reason to be proud of it, for it has, to my own knowledge, been done on business principles and not forced by re- sorting to the too common praotioe of allowing exorbitant commissions varying from 75 per cent. to 100 per Dent. of the first premiums of new business." The re- solution was carried unanimously. During the proceedings of the meeting several of the prominent policy -holders and others who were present referred in complimentary terms to the business of the' association for the past year, the manner in which it had been conducted, and to the strong financial and prominent postition which this company occupies amongst the life insurance companies of Canada. One speaker referred to the advance the association had made last year in issuing the new Unconditional Accumulative and Non -forfeitable Policy. This change is one which will be far-reaching in the in- fluences which it will bring to bear upon the association, and will do much in popularizing the company and enabling it to build up a larger business in the future than has been done even in the past. In the early day of life insurance restrictions were perhaps necessary. The life incur ance underwriter was embarking on what was practically an unknown sea. He had no chart to guide him beyond' that of mere theory. -• His knowledge of • the habits of the people outside, perhaps, the particular country in which he was residing was ex- tremely limited. Travel was dangerous; there was also the greater liability of war, and many other causes. might be mentioned which rendered it expedient in those days to place restrictions on the policy contract, and it was necessary, in view of the magni- tude of the interests involved, the sacred- ness of the trust imposed on him, that ex- treme caution should govern the 'Alley and principles of the business. Now, however, in addition ,to the great change in the cir- cumstances surrounding the business the modern underwriter has the experience of all his predecessors to guide him, and has been able from time to time to make changes and limit the operation or the vex- atious restrictions in the policy. This as- sociation has ever recognized the necessity of liberalizing its policies from time to time, and during the past year made a further advance by issuing the policy I spoke of. They made careful inquiries as to the occupation, the personal and family history of the applioant before accepting the risk, and once having done so and the policy is issued, they are prepared to assume all risks. All that is necessary for the policy -holder to do after that is to pay his premiums promptly and the company will pay the policy at death or maturity. The new non forfeitable privilege which the company has added to its policies is known as "Extended Insurance," and operates simply in this manner: In the event of the nonpayment of a premium when dne, without any action or application on the part of the policyholder, the insurance is continued in full force and'effect for as many years as the reserve accumulations under the policy will carry the insurance as set forth definitely in the policy itself. The great advantage which this offers is, that it precludes the possibility of the in- sured loosing the benelite under the policy through any oversight or accident which might prevent his paying the premium when due. Another speaker also mentioned in his remarks that the association was to be congratulated on securing so large a volume of new business during a year of marked financial depression, and it was still more to the credit of the management that they had avoided the errors into which some other companies had fallen by trying to do an abnormally large business.- It would be an easy matter, he said, to doable your business by puttine half a dozen agents in• — to a field where we have only one, bat such business would be only obtained at a ruinous cost, a fair business at a fair cost being much more in the interests of the policyholder. The twenty-second annual meting of the Confederation Life Aesociation was held at the' head office of the association, Births mond street; Toronto, on Tuesday, April 8, 1894, at 3 o'clock p.m. The following gentlemen were present: Sir W. P. Howland, president; Edward Hooper, first vioe-president; W. H. Beatty/. second vioe-president; J. K. MaoDonald, managing director; Walter S. Lee, W. H. Gibbs, Alfred Gooderbam, A.

George D Lewis, and Israel Tay- lor, William Taylcr and John Jenkins, of Clinton, Ont., and others, The president, Sir W. P. Howland, was palled to the chair, and Mr J. K. Macdon- ald, managing director, acted as secretary, The chairman first called upon the sec- retary to read the official notice calling the meeting, which was done. The minhtes of fast meeting were ac- cepted as read, and were adopted. Mr Macdonald stated that he had a let- ter from His Worship Mayor Kennedy, who is a very old policy -holder with us, in which he expressed regret at not being able to be present this afternoon. The following report and statements were then submitted to the meeting:— ' 'what was the result? Now . Great Bri- tain is the commercial mistress of the world.

During the past year they have been enabled not only to meet all cur- rent'expenses, but also to almost clear off the floating debt of the church, the liabilities standing lower now than they have for the past seven years. A cordial and well-deserved vote of thanks was unanimously tendered to the rec- tor, Rev. J. H. Fairlie; for his faithful and satisfactory ministry during the period of his incumbency, and for his able and successful conduct of the af- fairs of the parish, under very adverse and trying circumstances ; and the Vestry further showed their apprecia- tion of his services by increasing his stipend $100 for the current year. As good in practise as Sentiment. The Globe in its introductory re- marks concerning the Young Liberals banquet at Toronto, uses the following which are just as true in practise as in sentiment:— "There is nothing pessimistic about a Liberal. It is not natural that there should be. His defeats are only tem- porary reverses. If in a hopeless min- ority he knows that in the future, per- haps in the time of his children, the people will. adopt the principles for which he is contending. The his- tory of industrial, social and national progress is a record of the triumphs of Liberalism over Conservatism. Every right and privilege now enjoyed by this or any other nation has been wrested from Conservatism by the persistent struggle of Liberals; and it would be unnatural for Liberals still fighting towards the successes of the future, building a history which will be a repetition of-the•,Zast, to lose spirit through the temporary triumph of the forces of reaction." REPORT. In submitting the twenty-second annu- al report of the association, it affords your directors much pleasure to draw the at- tention of the policyholders and sharehold- ers to the evidence of continued popularity and success afforded by the statements now submitted. As heretofore, the busi- ness has been obtained from purely Ca. a-• dian sonroes, and considering the severe depression in business generally, the vol- ume of new insuranoes secured is very sat- isfactory. We bad before ne 2,535 applications for a total insurance of $4,131,000. Of these, 135 for $243,500, not being desirable risks, were declined; Il for $19,000 were deferred for a time, and the balance was accepted and policies issued. . Adding the revived policies of previous years and the bonus additions, the total new business for the year was 2,408 policies for $3,917,543 of insurance. - The total insurance in force at the close of the year was $24,430,731, under 15,872 policies on 13,961 lives. The new business for 1893 is the largest ever obtained by the association in any year. The death claims for the year aggregate the sum of 3209,108, under 123 policies on 109 lives. By re -assurances on two lives, the olaime were reduced by the cum of $5,375, making the net lose $203,733. This sum, while larger than in any previous year, is still very favorable, considering the number of lives and the amount at risk. The value of life insurance is strik- ingly illustrated by the payment of the large sum of $209,108 by this association last year, on an average of less than six hours after the receipt of completed proofs. The financial statements submitted with thissr port exhibit the true position of the association at the close of the year. The audit, which is made monthly, has been thorough and prompt. The delay in finishing the western part of the new head office building has been a cause of great regret to your directors. However, it was completed shortly before the close of the year, and it will be a source of satisfaction to know that a considerable portion has already been rented, with a fair prospect thet more will soon be under lease. It is not too Much to anticipate that, with a revival of business, there is the certainty that the excellence of the ac- commodation which the entire building affords and its advantageous position in the centre of the city, every room will be rented at good prices. Ab provided by the act of incorpora tion, all the directors retire, but are eligible for re-election. W. P. HOWLAND, President. J. S. MACDONALD, Managing Director. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. AMONG THE PAPERS.—The Galt Re- former, which has improved and pro- spered wonderfully since it came un- der the management of Mr Laidlaw, has commenced the publication of a daily issue. The first number displays commendable enterprise, and it is evidently well supported by the citi- zens. Mr Laidlaw turns out a capital paper and has the ability to make a daily in Galt a success if any one can. The Mitchell Advocate has passed its 32nd milestone; it has recently made marked improvement, and is a pretty good, well -printed all round newspa- per, even if its politics differ from our own. The Saturday edition of The Empire has of late been making great strides. Each week, in addition to the regular news of the day, Woman's Page, Military Department, Sporting, Dra- matic, etc., it has a number of inter- esting Special Articles by brilliant writers. Last Saturday it gave a splendid historical sketch by one of the Nile voyageurs, a racy sketch, "How Blower Won the Hat," being a story of lake marine in the olden days, and- other ndother equally interesting articles. Every week something good appears in it. In season and out of season the Con- servative press have argued that the I tariff did not add anything to the con- sumer's burdens; that by some process of legerdemain, the tariff "protected the manufacturers from undue compe- tition," but did not add anything to the cost of the protected article. Now, since the tariff has been amended, they applaud it as of benefit to theconsumer. If they are right now, they must haye been wrong before. Whichever posi- tion they occupy reveals an inconsis- tency. One of the best of the speeches given in the house during the tariff debate, was that by Mr. Dalton McCarthy, on Wednesday. He thoroughly exposed the falacies of protection, proved that the readjustment was not a reduction without compensating advantag es to manufactuters, and expressed his con- viction that the people would not be satisfied with any sham measure of ta- riff reform. The revision of the Dominion voters list has cost the country already nearly nine hundred thousand dollars, while the printing of the lists cost nearly five hundred thousand, And what good are they, after all? Spring Shows Spring stallion shows are not what they used to be, and a good many people are under the impression that they have out- lived their usefulness. Still, in some sec. tions they continue to attract attention. The first one held in thie section, this season, was at Brucefield last Friday, un- der the auspices of South Huron Agrioul- tural._S..ociety..,, The show of. stallions and bulls was very fine. The attendance, though not so large as on former ocoasione, was very large. Brucefield still claims the honor of having the banner show of entire stook. The Stephen & Osborne Agricultural Society held their spring fair at Exeter on Monday. The weather was very unfavor- able—rain, snow and very high winds all day. There were some• very fine stallions and bulls shown, bnt not many people in attendance on account of bad weather.

Few people probably realize what this means to the brewers. We are informed that by this change.which will not affect the.price of beer in any respect or help any industry, the rich brewers of the country will save from $225,000. to $250,000 a year. When Mr Foster brought in his budget, he put on a very poor mouth in discussing pro- posed changes in the tariff, and argued that he could not reduce the tariff to any great extent because of the r evenue needs. Who outside the brewing fra- ternity will say that this quarter of a million revenue, which Mr Foster has now diverted from the public purse in- to the pockets of the brewers, could not have been better spared from the taxes on necessities of life? Mr Foster was at one time a temperance advocate, but now that he holds a well-paid Govern- ment office in a Cabinet dominated by the distillers and the brewers he has more "moments of weakness," in which he goes back on his former professions, than be can keep track of. It is un- derstood that the distillers, who had already been 'fayored by the men in power at Ottawa, and the hrewers,now their especial care, have agreed to give back in election subscriptions a sub- stantial portion of the enormous gains thus rendered possible by Government favor.
