year from this investment, As the
parcel is a corner one, its owner
bus the right to occupy the side-

give him a space 0 inches by 5 feet
fronting on Third avenue, and 14
inches by 5 feet in One Rewired

vies can also get the right to build
a vault under the sidewalk and the
size of this vault could be 20 by 20
feet, or 400 square feet. He can
use the vault as a subterranean
store. The triangular plot was
made by widening Third avenue.
It is said that a man stood on the
plot for three nights some months
ago, so that no one could build on
it, Ho covered the plot almost
with one foot.

like the man who started out to
make $1,000,000. Years after, he
reported that he had the 1, but it
was the ciphers that bothered him.
Ross has the one, but is troubled
about the rest of his much desired
majority. With one cipher to the
right of the one he has, he would
be tolerably safe.

Low prices are better than arguments ; our
prices do their own talking ; they appeal with
stronger force to the economical buyer than Loud
talk. This week we are placing in stock something
very special in Iron Beds. These goods were two
months late in arriving, but our waiting has made
the .discount big, and prices will surprise you. Just
fancy --a good strong Iron Bed, with considerable
brass, for only $4.50 ; others more Brassy, at $5.00,
X6.50, $8, $10, $12, $14, and a few lines at $17.00— •

—The Owen Sound Times says :
"A scrutiny will elect George M.
Boyd member for North Grey. Of
this there is little doubt. Legal
opinion as to the validity of certain
ballots polled by certain govern-
ment officers, and by others who
had no right to vote, lead to the
belief, the assurance in fact, that
Boyd will hold the seat on a scru-
tiny by a comfortable majority."
WHAT IT COSTS.
E THE PEOPLE'S POPULAR STORE.
JNO. & JAS. H. HERR.
As there is in some quarters an
agitation for 'an increase in Premier
Laurier's salary, Toronto Saturday
Night enumerates the items of cost
in the matter, and says :—
"The Premier receives $3,000 per an-
num, and sessional allowance as it
Member of Parliament of $1,500. Iu
addition he is voted travelling expen-
ses and cab -hire. In 1900-1901, for
instance, he was paid, according to
the public accqunts, $310.42 travelling 1
expenses and $79.75 cab -hire. All told
therefore, he gets in the neighborhood
of ten thousand dollars per annuin.
Iu addition to this, his private secre-
tary, Mr. Rodolphe Boudreau, receives
as assistant clerk of the Privy Council
$1,850, and as private secretary to the
Premier $200, besides travelling ex-
penses, which in 1900-1901 amounted
to $802.40, rather ,a startling sum, I
should say, compared with the $300
odd drawn by the Premier on travel-
ling account. Adding the sums drawn
by the private secretary to those
charged by Sir Wilfrid, it is found
that the country pays out something
like $13,000 per annum. We pay
$50,000 u, year to our Governor-Gener-
al and provide him with a residence
and all sorts of flubdubbery, but the
Premier has to provide himself or live
uuflubdubbed. Twenty-five thousand
dollars a year would not be too much
for the Premier, and the Canadian
Parllaiueut has expressed itself, both
unofficially and through the press, re-
gardless of party affiliations, of its be-
lief that we are shabbily treating those
.who reach the greatest prize in the
whole range of 'Canadian sentiment,
politics and achievement."
If it is true, as Saturday Night
says, that our Premier costs the
country $13,000 annually, the Ad-
vance considers that is quite suffi-
cient for a country of Canada's
size. With the Governor -General's
salary of $50,000, and perhaps as
much more for residence, expenses
of ttfltibdubbery," etc., and $13,-
000 for the Premier, to say nothing
of'the other Cabinet Ministers' sal-
aries, their expenses, etc., the erdi-
dary tax -payer will conclude that
we are paying a. very large sum for
the privilege. of being over -govern-
ed. When the country's income is
at the buoyant point, some sensible
person should suggest the propriety
of endeavoring to reduce our debt.
Instead of that, it is being piled up
yearly, and every excuse imagina-
ble is being made for spending.
For a population of less than six
millions, $13,000 is plenty to ex-
pend for a Premier, especially when
it is necessary to have a Governor-
General at $50,000, with perhaps
as much more for expenses. If we
could dispense with the $50,000
figure head, few would complain if
the Premier .received $25,000.
Those who advocate increased ex-
pense have very little knowledge of
the struggles of the masses for a
livelihood, and manifest as little
sympathy for them. There are
toilers who have to pay rent and
support a family on a dollar a clay,
and these'must pay their share of
the taxation for the Governor-Gen-
eral, his "flubdubbery," the Pre-
mier and his trips, and all the in-
numerable et ceteras of our system
of government. Canada requires a
few lessons in the practice of econ-
omy. With a debt nearing the two
hundred and fifty million dollar
mark, and annual additions being
made thereto, ordinary people won-
der whither we are drifting, Only
recently our representatives in Par-
liattcn voted themselves increased
salaries, and in this the Premier
shared, Let that suffice for a time
at least,

—The Toronto Telegram remarks
that Britain and Canada need not
fear the Morgan steamship ,,com-
bine while G. W. Ross lives, for
the man that could say to the re-
sources of Canada "Come forth
and be developed," ought to be
able to say to the Atlantic—"Be
thou dried up," and it should obey.
But then, the same G. W. Ross
has not been able to say to his own
majority, "Be thou developed,i'
with any degree of success.

—Canada's aggregate foreign
trade, according to a blue book
just issued, amounted last year to
$414,517,358. This is a phenomi-
nal record. It exceeds the aggre-
gate trade of the previous year by
$36,827,673. The imports for con-
sumption, including coin and bull-
ion, amounted to $202,791,595,
compared with $181,225,389 in
1901,_ and $121,505,030 in 1893.
The value of dutiable goods was
$118,057,496, as against $105,958,-
535 in the previous year. The
value of the free goods imported
was $77,S22,694, as compared with
$71,729,540 in 1891. The total ex-
ports were $211,725,563; in 1901
they were $196,487,632. Canada's
exports of domestic produce alone
amounted to $196,105,240, an in-
crease of $19,366,048 over 1901.

—A. little over ayear ago, the
Legislature of Ontario appropriated
$225,000 for the encouragement of
st gar beet growing in this Pro-
vince, Under this Act, the Legis-
lature agreed to pay out not more
than $75,000 a year for three years
in bounties on sugar produced from
beets in Ontario. Factories taking
advantage of this law must pay a
flat rate of at least $4 per ton for
all the beets delivered this year; in
the next two years they are to pay
33.i,c per ton for every one per cent.
of sugar which the beets contain.
Under this law the price for this
year is $4 per ton ; after this year
for 12 per cent. beets the price will
be $4 per ton ; for 13 per cent.
beets $4.33k ; for 14 per cent. beets
$4.60'.1,, and for 15 per cent. beets

—It is often said that our worst
troubles are those that never come,
and we are apt to worry over things
that we dread, and yet that never
materialize. Many dread the years
to come because they see in them
an awful clash -between Capital and
Labor, that may end in anarchy.
According to an eminent French
lecturer, Leroy Beaulieu, the pres-
ent evils growing out of fortunes
heaped up by millionaires and capi-
talists, will work out a cure for
themselves. Beaulieu in his lec-
tures on the change of the French
31- per cent. debt into 3 per cent.
bonds, showed that the rate of in-
terest is constantly decreasing and
he predicts that in the next twenty-
five years capital will be glad to
get 2 per cent., and that fifty years
hence such first-elass securities as
Government bonds and railway se-
cuities will bear 1 per cent. inter-
est, "which," said the lecturer,
"will compel all except the very
largest capitalists to work for a liv-
ing; and the leisure of the class of
people now called well-off will be
abolished."
