Every farmer would are his broad acres lying open to the' tax col- lector; every thrifty rueehnnic having, as many have, a little home of his own, would have to pay his quota ; every business or professional man would be subject to this inquisitorial and most odious of all taxes. There would remain other customs and excise dirties and miscellaneous small taxes to yield the required $1,962, 600. A yearly tax upon yonr carriage, upon your dog (unless you are a shep- herd or cattle drover or a blind wan) upon playing cards, for selling candy, for using a crest of arms, for carrying a gun or pistol, for employing a roan servant, for shooting game, such are a few of these ruultlfarious petty de- mands from the tax collector. This is the system of taxation which Ate. Laurier anus to establish in Cana- da,and to which he intends to approxi- mate as readily as possible, if the peo- ple give him the opportunity. Put in tabular form, it would be as follows :- Customs and excise duties on tobacco and intoxicat- ing liquors $1.4,111,00) Customs duties on tea,, cof- fee and cocoa 1,282,800 Customs duties on dried fruits 141,000 Excise duty --railways Death duties -probate, lega- cy and succession..... , 2,822,000 Stamp ditties on insurance, cheques, receipts &c 1,881,501 Direct taxation--land,bouse, property and income 5,026,500 Miscellaneous duties and taxes 1,062,600 $28,221,400 In this calculation the duties on to- bacco and intoxicating liquors have been taken as bearing the same propor- tion to the total taxation as in the United Kingdom, hut at present they yield only $10,000,000. It will hardly be suggested that the consumption should be increased, and the duties could not be raised materially without inducing a great amount of smuggling. If under these circumstances the revenue from this source could not he augmented and had to be distributed among the others, the modified table would. stand a s follows:- ta �t t Customs and excise duties on tobacco and intoxicat- ing liquors $10,000,000 Customs duties on tea, cof- fee and cocoa 1,648,400 Customs duties on dried fruit Excise duty -railways Death duties -probate, leg- acy and succession Stamp duties on insurance, cheques, receipts, &c Direct taxation -land, house, property and income Miscellaneous duties and taxes 94,000 181,000 120,600 3,622,000 2,414,900 7,606,500 2,630,000 $28,221,400 It might be found that some of these sources of revenue belong to the Pro- vinces rather than the Dominion, and some from the different circumstances might not yield so well as 'in tjr e old country. The British Chancellor of the Exchequer when in a difficulty puts another penny on the income tax, and no doubt Sir Richard 'Cartwright would gladly, in a similar manner, have recourse to increased direct taxa- tion. Sometimes when at a loss to say how they will raise the necessary taxation, the Opposition suggest vaguely that they may reduce expenditure and so require less taxes. The Liberal leaders, under the same financial authority, were given a trial in the Dominion, and they did not reduce expenditure and taxation. Their friends are or have been in power in every province except British Columbia -in none of them have they decreased expenditure or taxation, in every one of them they have increased expenditure and tax - don. Nothing Netter could be expect- ed from them 0' they were in power at Ottawa. The fact is the taxation is not exces- sive nor greater than is required for the service of the country and its people. The taxation in the United Kingdom is $9.78 a head, in France it is $11.92, in Germany $6.32, in Austria-Hungary $6.67, in Australasia it is $12.49, while in Canada it is only $5.01. In the United States it is $4.26,hut to this has to be added the States' direct taxation to take the place of our Federal siib- sidies, not granted in the neighboring republic. The revenue must he raised, and the Liberals propose to raise it as soon ab they can, in the manner above shown. Canadian electors, would you like it? IN FAVOR WITH THE DOCTORS DR. OODBOIJT, M.

U4 NON: r As some of the mouthpieces of the Liberal party are loud in 'attacks upon the superannuation expenditure by the Conservative administratio7, it is well to examine the policy and practice of the Liberals when in powpr, and, the effect upon the superannuation fund to the present day. In their five years of office from Nov- ember, 1873, to October, 1878, the Lib- eral Ministry, under Mr. Mackenzie and Sir R. Cartwright, used the power of superannuating civil servants to a greater extent, at larger costs and more profusely than ever before'°or since. Up to June 30th, 1895, the civil ser- vants superannuated by the Mackenzie administration had drawn from the superannuation fund the surd of $950,- 002. As the total expenditure for sup- erannuation up to that date had been $4,036,350, the Liberals for their five years had incurred very nearly a quar- ter of the outlay, an enormsus over - proportion from any point of view. And in the fiscal year 1894-95, 33 civil servants, superannuated by the Liber- als, were still on the list and drew $10,170, so the weight thus placed on the fund is far from being removed at present. To these Rye years of Liberal admin- istration may be largely attributed the bnrden on the superannuation fund. The following are the civil servants superannuated by the Liberals during their term' of office, from 1874 to 1878, still alive in 1894.5: - SUPERANNUATED BY LIBERALS ; STILL ALIVE.

Woodgate Inspector Post Offices, N.B. 31,176 This shows how enormously the superannuation fund was burdened by the administration of Mr. Mackenzie and Sir R. Cartwright. To ascettain how and why the burden was incurred one or two salient examples may be taken. Mr. Langton, who stands at the top of the list., having -drawn the largest amount, ot superannuation in the his- tory of Canada, was superannuated a few months before the Liberals resign- ed. He lived for sixteen years longer and for half and that time received a good salary as one of the financial offi- cers of a prominent joint stock com- pany, strong evidence of his recognized capacity for further work of that nature. But though he could have continued to till it his post as Auditor - General was wanted for a zealous if somewhat unfortunate friend of the Liberal Administration, 80 Mr. Lang- ton was unnecessarily shelved at a cost to the country of $42,550. Teri years were added to his term of service to complete his annuity, a practice a against which the Liberals now inveigh. Mr. E. A. Meredith, the next on the list, was also superannuated on the eve of the departure of the Liberals from office. He too has since served and is still serving at a liberal salary one of the great financial institutions of the country, so he also is plainly valued as being still fitted for work, seventeen years hater, hut his office was also wanted for a friend of the administra- tion. In his case an addition of three years was made to his terra of service to complete his allowance. Further investigation would show similar practices in other cases of sup- erannuation by the Liberals. Mr. McMullen aptly characterised the practice when he said in the House "Every possible excuse that can he used in order to superannuate rnen who were filling lucrative positions that were wanted for others," but forgot to add that the description applied to his friends. Hansard, June 5th, 1805, p. 2218. Loud complaints have been made by the Liberals that the Conservatives have added years to the term of ser- vice to add to the pension or to make up the minimum qualifying term of service. Mr. McMullen M. P., gave in the House a table, published in Han- sard, of certain superannuated civil servants with their length of service and years added, prefacing the list by the observation "I will give a few more names to show how 0 this Act has been abused." Yet in this list of four- teen asserted Conservative abuses, five only were superannuations by the Conservatives and no less than nine by the Liberals. Hansard, June 5th, 1895, p. 2217. In a subsequent table profetsing to give amounts paid in and received, Mr. McMullen includes a number of super- annuations by the Liberals though ex- pressly stating that all were super- annuated by the Conservatives, But this is not all. In the five years of Liberal administration they added years to the time of actual service in 34 cases of superannuation;, the years thus Sickly Women! DR. SPIN The Old Rellattlel!

As a means of comparison it may be stated that in the five years under Con- servative administration, from 1891 to 1895, (the latest given in detail) there were 15 cases of added years against the Liberals' 31; the year amounted to 88JI against the Liberals' 269; the aver- age time added was less than 0 years against the Liber•rls' 8; the percentage of years added to actual service was 30 against the Liberals; 42, the number of cases under the ten years' limit was 2 against the Liberals' 9; and•»4in no case were the years of actual service less than five Nor was the former Conservative administration of superannuation a precedent for the reckless management of the Liberal. In three years and a half from adoption of the system of the assumption of office by the Hon. A. Mackenzie, there were 14 cases of added time as against the Liberals 34 in five years; the years added amounted to 96 against the Liberals' 269; the average time added was seven years against the Liberals' 8; the percentage of years added to actual service was 37 against the Liberals' 42; the number of cases under the ten years' limit was only one agtsinst the Liberals' 9, and in that case only one year was wanting., where as two of, the Liberal cases were of three ysars service and two others five years. A superannuation system for the civil service is generally considered desirable as tending to promote its efficiency, In the absence of some such provision there is a very natural reluctance to discharge old public ser- vants without strong reason, and a tendency to show leniency in a case of failing powers as long as possible, while a superanuuation allowance removes this hesitation, as soon as a charge seems to promise greater effiiciency, which often means also greater econ- omy. For this and other reasons not only governments but also banks, rail- way companies, &e., having large staffs have established and maintained super; annuation funds. The Dominion of Canada enacted a superannuation system for its civil ser- vice in 1870, a rate of abatement on official salaries being fixed that would have carried it through with little or no cost to the country. In 1872, how- ever, the unfortunate sympathy of Parliament overcame its discretion and the abatement was lowered to one find a quarter per cent. on salaries under $600, and two per cent. on salaries of $600 or more. The abatement thus reduced, was in- sufficient, especially in view ot the recklessness of the Mackenzie adminis- tration in superannuating prematurely to make vacancies for their friends, and adding inordinately to the years of actual service in computing the allowance, so that not only no reserve could he formed. but the supperannua- tior1 fund, from the receipts exceeding the expenditures as was the case when they took office, was brought under their administration to the position of the expenditures far more than doub- ling the receipts. in 1893 the Finance Minister procur- ed the enactment of a law, establishing the superannuation fund on a sure basis, the abatement being made three per cent, on salaries under $600 and three and a half per cent, on salaries of that amount or more, and a fundp_e_s- tahlished with interest calculated 'fres maintain a reserve actually sufficient to meet future demands. Thus the civil service has secured to it aper- manent superannuation system while the country is ensured against exces- I sive cost. Such is the actual record of the Liberal administration as compared with that of the Conservative in re- spect to superannuation. Freeman Blackwell, the Biddulph farmer, who shot at Albert Hodgins, of this village, on May 1st, eluded the officers for three days, but finally went to Lucan and gave himself up. He was arraigned before Squire Armitage and Justice of the Peace O'Neil, and pleaded not guilty to the charge of shooting with intent to kill. Three witnesses for the prosecution swore to having seen him point the revolver in the direction in which Hodgins was running when he tired the shot. He WAS sent for trial and bailed in the amount of $1,500. Could not get Insured. Selected by Straight Line and Mutual Companies. But now Insured In both.
