H. 11EcIudoo's Poles —The Ottawa Citizen remarks that -•-` `when the Laurier govern- ment is spending over ten dollars per annum for every man, woman and little prattling infant in this fair Dominion, it may justly be said to be robbing the cradle and the grave," —It is reported that Andrew Pattullo, M.P.1.'., will be given a seat in the Ontario Cabinet as Min- ister without portfolio, before the Ross Government goes to the coun- try. Mr. Pattullo is looked upon by the Liberals as one of their best campaigner's, and they want to add to hie prestige by giving him Cab- inet rank. He is editor of the Woodstock Sentinel -Review, and an excellent platform speaker. --Prof. Goldwin Smith says— "Let us first have the referendum legally introduced, regulated in its operation, and surrounded with its proper safeguards. We may then have recourse to it with confidence. It is now taken up for the nonce without contstitutional warrant for the purpose of relieving the Legis- lature of a responsibility which properly belongs to it; and at the same time dodging the question of compensation.

That the taxpayers of the Domin- ion. have to pay each expenditures is a shame and disgrace to the Pub- lic Works Department. —Knoxonian, writing in West- minster, has this to say of the in- dependent men :—.'There are not Tories enough in Canada to keep a Tory Governmeut in power, as against the Liberals and no -party electors. If there were, we would have a Tory Government all the time. There are not Liberals enough in Canada to keep a Liberal Government in power as against an alliance of Tories and no -party men, If there were, the Liberals would always be in power. Nei- ther party alone can put or keep its friends in power. The balance is always held by the men in the middle of the road." * * —According to the latest report of the Inspector of the Division Courts, the suits entered, exclusive of transcripts of judgment and judgment summonses, numbered $9,727; the total claims aggregated 31,451,837.43. Last year the to- tals were 38,686 suits, for claims amounting to $1,202,715.31. To- tal amount of money paid into court, $436,643.51; total paid out $431,115.26. These figures, taken from the official returns, says the inspector, by no means represent the full collecting powers of the Division Courts. A very large proportion of the suits entered are settled out of court, of which no official returns can be given, but the collections have been made just as surely under and by virtue of the Division Courts process. The sum returned as having been paid to .county treasurers for the Division Court's jury fund amounts to $1,175.39, and is quite sufficient to meet all the demands thereon. —Says the Monetary Times,— the budget speech shows an almost dizzying progress to have been made in other respects than in trade, and throws into bold relief the striking change in faith and practice since 1896. Never in the history of Canada were such vast figures dealt with by a Financial Minister in point of revenue and expenditure. Receipts from taxes $38,743,000 in 1901, compared with $27,759,285 in 1896. Total rev- enues, which of course all come out of the people's pocket, $52,- 500,000, as against $36,600,000. Total expenditure $57,900,000, compared with $41,700,000, and a net public debt of $268,000,000, as compared with $258,000,000—mark the changes in five years. For 1902 it is stated that the total to be gathered for the treasury will be $57,000,000, the total expendi- ture $65,000,000, and the addition to the debt$6,000,000. This fairly takes away one's breath, the sums are so vast, and the increases so rapid. 1F * —Speaking of Trusts, an Ameri- can magazine says :—The collapse of the asplalt trust is to be Iisted withthe tumble of several other large combines as evidence that many so-called trusts are not invin- cible against natural law in the business world. It is one thing to consolidate the larger plants of an industry into one large corporation by turning into she combine the plants at a valuation far in excess of their real worth, and quite an other to realize tempting dividends on an extensive capitalization. The weakness of a trust thus organized, no less than the strength of one not so handicapped, is making more imperative the public demand for government control of the trusts to protect the people from being swin- dled in the matter of investment, on the one hand, and being victim- ized by extortion on the other hand. No greater danger can me - nate the stability of America' com- mercial supremacy than the multi- plicity of trusts having fictitious millions for their capital. When- ever failure of trusts of this charac- ter shall have proved a sufileient objeet• lesson to the people, the r -,M rnedy that is really treaded for the evils of unduly large combinations will be found. LEST WE FORGET. "Lest we forget," the following facts should cause electors of this fair Dominion to pause and ask, what the final outcome of the pres- ent carnival of expenditure is like- ly to result in:- 1—The public debt of Canada to -day is $50 per head of the popu- lation. 2—The interest on that debt,]ast year was $10,800,000. 3—The interest last year was equal to $29,750 every day, or $1,218 every hour. Do electors realize what this means ? 4—About six million dollars have been added to the debt this year. 5—There is 110 ever that there is reduction of the expenditure, but trary. A. wise administration would during good times and with a buoyant revenue have reduced in- stead of largely increasing the debt, and yearly burden of interest. Is it not time to pause and think ? indication whiat- likely to be any present reckless rather the con - THE BUDGET SPEECH. The speech delivered by Hon. Mr. Fielding, Finance Minister, contained little of special interest, except that our debt has been large- ly increased, and the annual expen- diture continues to increased at an alarming rate. The following are the principal points in the speech: No changes in the tariff. Gov- ernment will await the result of the Imperial conferences. No bounty will be given for the manufacture of beet sugar, but ma- chinery and structural iron will be continued on the free list until April, 1903. Government will seek to broaden the scope of the French commercial treaty, and try to obtain a readjust- ment of the German tariff. About $6,000,000 will be added to Canada's debt. Legislation will be asked author- izing the raising of a loan of 41,250,000 to liquidate outstand- ing and maturing loans. The gross expenditure for the year will be $65,250,000. The in- come will be $56,800,000, making a deficiency of $8,450,000. In reply, Hon. Mr. Borden de- Iivered an able speech, and on both sides of the House received credit for his grasp of the subject. He moved the following resolution, as indicating the Conservative policy: "This House, regarding the operation of the present tariff as unsatisfactory, is of opinion that this country requires a declared policy of its labor, agricultural products, manufactures, and indus- tries as will at all times secure the Canadian market for Canadians, and while thus firmly maintaining the necessity of such protection to Canadian interests, this House af- firms its belief in a policy of recip- rocal trade preferences within the Empire."
