How The Duties Are Gevied
Here are some figures from government
returns wbioh are interesting. They show
that in some instanoee the duty is nearly
50 per cent, and people oan form an idea of
how cheap these articles would be if the
duty were reduced or taken off:—
On $152,249 worth of currants used by
Canadians last year the duty paid was
$64,532.89.
Canadians last year imported $326,939
worth of raisins; the duty was $141,882.-
0.
On $66,747 worth of mustard imported
last year the duty was $16,686.63. That was
to give piquancy to the free breakfast
menu.
Last year Canadians imported from the
States $420,575 worth of coal oil, on which
they paid $466, 163.71 duty. Ontario people
paid $167,771.37 of this amount. On $96,-
603 worth of lubricating oil the tax was
$57.333.44. -
Last year we imported braces and sus-
penders and parts thereof to the value of
$58,391, on which the duty was $19,736.59.
A euffioient reason for some tariff favorites
rushing to the defence of the suspender
duty.
The voice of the member for West
D Huron is not heard in the House this
session. It will he in the next House,
and it will be the voice of a Huronite,
too.
In the long standing dispute between
the Province and the Dominion con-
cerning unsettled accounts, "the Su-
preme Court has given judgment in
favor of the Province.
The English Government has decided
that the embargo against Canadian -
cattle shall remain on. These are°the
things that strain loyalty, especially
when Canadian cattle are free from
disease.
Mr. Foster, in his budget speech, de-
clared that the new sugar duty would
add $1,200,000 to the revenue while the
added tax on spirits would realize hut
$500,000 or $600,000. Why this partial-
ity from an apostle of temperance?
Hon. Robt.Watson, Minister of Pub-
lic Works in the Greenway Govern-
ment, predicts that the Liberaie will
carry six out of the seven Manitoba
seats, at the general election. Hope
they may, but election predictions are
not always to be relied upon.
The extra duty on sugar might have
been added to the duty on Liquor, with-
out hurtiug'any one in particular, and
`�- iy^mat body of zugur consumers
would have reaped the benefit. As it
is they will get about five pounds Iess
on the dollar than formerly.
Hon. Mr. Foster admits that the de-
ficit this year Is $4,500,000, though Mr.
Cartright places it higher and the Mail
says "he looks hopefullyon the future."
Well he may, but suppose his hopes
are not realized, What then? He was
equally "hopeful" last year, hut that
did not prevent him having a thump-
ing big deficit. Its alma time lie had
something more than "hope"to keep
down the ever increasing liabilities
the Dominion. Strict honesty and
economy is most needed.
Sir Richard Cartwright declares that the
additional duties on sugar have been so laid
that they will takeout of the pockets of the
people about $3,000,000, while putting into
the treasury only $1,200,000. That merino
that the refiners a ill get $1,800,000 of the
additional taxation, or the Hon's share.—

that one eighth of the seats can remain vs -
cant for periods ranging from one year to
five without any detriment to the service of
the country.
