WINGRAM, MARCH 13 1002.
(gbitjn a.J note
—Supplementary estimates have
been tabled in the Dominion Parlia-
ment aggregating $1,358,083. Add-
ed to the $59,924,740, voted last
session, this makes a total appro-
priation for the present year of
$61,283,423. The expenditure is
increasing yearly, though we were
promised a reduction by several
millions.
—The Ontario* Legislature has
granted a charter to the :Ontario
Ship and Railway Company to con-
struct a line direct from Toronto to
Collingwood. This is to effect a
saving of 33 miles in the distance
between the two cities over the
route of the Grand Trunk. The
object of the line is to intercept the
passage of part of the grain traffic
destined for the port of Quebec.
* *
—Ontario leads the good roads
movement in Canada, according to
the report of the Commissioner, Mr.
A. W. Campbell, which has just
been completed. Good progress,he
avers, was made in road -making the
last year. The commissioner says
that the present expenditure of
$2,000,000 yearly and 500,000 half
days of statute labour has not been
applied to the best advantage. Lack
of plans and specifications, as well
as well-defined instructions for
building roads, has been largely re-
sponsible for this. York is among
the counties which have taken ac-
tive steps towards the inauguration
of a county system of roads.
*
—Geo. T. Powell of New York,
in the course of a recent address,
said :—Land adjoining highways
would be certainly benefited by the
planting of trees at suitable distan-
ces along the same, and also the
country beautified. The growth of
trees should be encouraged in all
places about farms where tillage is
difficult and unprofitable. One ef-
fect of this practice, in addition to
the value that would be steadily
growing in trees, would be the pro-
tection that would be afforded to
birds. With the barrenness of the
soil on many farms there is a pain-
ful barrenness of bird life, and in
consequence a great increase in de-
structive insects. Many crops at
the present time can be grown only
by the costly method of destroying
insects by machinery, with horse
and hand labor. More stringent
laws are required to protect our
birds. The shotgun and dog should
be prohibited, and the birds given a
chance to live, to multiply, and to
aid the farmer and the horticultur-
ist in keeping in check the many
insects that are devastating their
crops.
*•*
—On the second reading of the
Prohibition Bill, Premier Ross an-
nounced two changes; one changes
the basis of the Referendum vote
from the totalrvote given in the ap-
proaching general election, to the
vote given in the election, of 1898.
This is evidently a move of the
Premier's to counteract the course
suggested to temperance workers to
refrain from voting at the next
election, so as to lessen the majori-
ty required at the Referendum.
The other change is in the date ; in-
stead of on October 14, the vote
will be taken early in November.
According to the Premier, the total
vote at the elections of 1898 was
4Z
6i976;hen
ce to carry,
there ere mu
st
be in N
o ember a favorable s
vora bre vote of
213,489. According to other au-
thorities, the vote in 1808 was
443,45" i if this is correct, prohibi-
tioniets will have to poll. 221,727
votes in order to win. When it is
remembered that the prohibition
vote at the first plebiscite was 102,.
.389, and at the second, 154,499, it
will be seen what a task lies before
the temperance people. Premier
Rost. has Loaded the measure, 80
that they are handicapped in the
race, so as to secure their defeat.
THE Y INGHAM ADVANCE.
VERY POINTED.
MR. WHITNEY'S POSITION.
Even those who may not ap-
prove of Mr. Whitney's stand on
the eo-called Prohibition 13111 now
before the Legislature, cannot but
admire his honest, conscientious
utterances on the question. As ho
says, he might have followed the
example of Sir Wilfrid Laurier
when the Manitoba School question
was agitating the country, but he
prefers to be "honest enough to be
bold and bold enough to be honest,
let the consequences be what they
may."
1\7r. Whitney declares himself
opposed to the bill on account of its
unconstitutionality and the impro-
priety of the Referendum, and also
on the merits of the bill, outside of
and without reference to the Refer-
endum. In closing an able ad-
dress, Mr. Whitney said :—
"We cannot have prohibition in
a province, therefore it is idle to
discuss that remedy. I believe the
remedy lies rather in using the
powers that we possess, namely,
wholesale restriction ; a decrease in
the number of licenses; removing
those charged with the administra-
tion of the law from political and
party influences, and honestly en-
forcing the law."
"Therefore I am prepared to
support, and to introduce and pass,
should the opportunity offer, legis-
lation to-
1—Decrease the present number
of licenses.
2—Maintain intact and allow no
relaxation of restrictions,
3—Remove the Commissioners
and Inspectors from political and
party influences.
4—Enforce the License law hon-
estly and with the whole power of
the Government.
Mr. Whitney's honest, bold
stand will commend itself to a
large number of the Ontario elec-
torate. He does not believe in
making a "political football" of so
important a question. His able
speech, and the clear outline of his
policy on the question, is in pleas-
ing contrast to the deception that
has been practised on temperance
people so long and so often. Had
Mr. Whitney been simply a sharp,
cunning politician bidding for votes,
he might have made a direct bid
for the temperance vote by promis-
ing to do what Ross has promised
but failed to perform. Mr. Whit-
ney has chose the honest, out-
spoken course, and his policy as
outlined' above will meet with gen-
eral approval.
UNITED STATES' TRUSTS.
In the Atlantic Monthly for
March, W. H. 1!j<erriam, director of
the United Stater census for 1900,
gives valuable information on the
Trusts of the country, from which
we make a few excerpts.
The number of these industrial
consolidations is 183, and they con-
trol 2203 separate plants. Fifty
per cent of these were chartered
during or just before the census
year, so that the disease spread
very rapidly. Here are a few of
the combinations, with figures for
1900 :—In iron and steel, there are
69 combinations, running 469
plants, with a capital investment
of $248,000,000, employing 146,000
wage earners. Twenty-three com-
binations were engaged in produc-
ing articles of food, including 277
plants with capital of $247,000,000.
Twenty-nine other combinations
cover 236 plants in the production
of liquors. Nine corporations con-
trol 72 plants producing textiles,
with a capital of $92,000,000. Be-
sides these there are corporations
each controlling a number of plants
that refer to leather, paper -making,
chemicals, glass, brick, metals, to-
baccos, vehicles, and a host of
miscellaneous articles.
The 183 Trusts have a total cap-
italization of $3,569,615,808, but
the real value of the various plants
(outside of the Standard Oil Co.,
and the Pullman Car Co.) is only
41 per cent of the stock and bond
issues, The public can buy the
stock at an average of 61 per cent,
which means a discount of $956,-
809,718. One interesting result of
Mr. Merriam's calculations is the
proof that these Trusts, vast as
they are, control only about one-
eighth of the industrial operations
of the United States. The combin-
ation referred to employed in 1900,
23,000 managers, clerks, etc., and
399,000 wage-earners; they paid
out in salaries $195,000, and the
value of their output was $1,661,-
000,000. Compared with this out-
put, the total industrial product of
the States for the same year was
nearly $14,000,000,000, so that the
output of the Trusts is less than
one-tenth of the entire industrial
product. Mr. Merriam's article is
very interesting and instructive.
Are Y
ou Deaf.
All deafness is not curable, but doc-
tors state that ninety per cent of im-
paired hearing is duo inflammation of
the Eustachian tabes, and can be
treated with certainty of success by
Catarrhozone, which gives instant re.
lief to Catarrh in any part of the
system. Catarrhozone is extremely
pleasant and simple to ase, and suffers
from ani* form of deafness are'ldrised
to use it. Thousands of cases are on
record where Catarrhozone has per.
fatly restord lost hearing, and what
it has done for others it can do for
yon. Procure Catarrhozone from

:honesty may not be the best poli-
tics, but J. P. Whitney is the one
public man in the Ontario Legisia-
ture who has discussed the prohibi-
tion question in the language of
sincerity and truth.
It may be that Mr. Whitney's
honesty is "magnificent but not
politics." S0 much the worse for
politics.
Whether the Opposition leader
stands or falls, whether he is fol-
lowed or deserted by his supporters
his candor and courage shine in
contrast with the Pecksniffian tac-
tics of Hon. G. W. Ross who, as a
life-long prohibitionist "in the dis-
charge of a duty which he owes to
humanity," draws out the plansF.'
and specifications of a scheme which (a o ds
ensures the death and burial of pro-
hibition.
And Hon, G. W. Ross is the
sante sort of friend to prohibition
that Brutus was to Caesar when he Life Ch cps
put the dagger into the heart of his
friend.
Perhaps J. P. Whitney may lack
size, but he has proved to be big
enough to avoid playing the fakir
and hypocrite with the prohibition
question.
