IN SiR JAMES' EAR. J "Me Torouto World, realizing the :aloe position in which Sir James Wh:t.ney has placed himself in hie apposition to taxation reform. gives the Provincial Premier a gentle hint that if he does 'not wake up to the retirees of the situation the way will be open for bis political opponents - :o wit, "the slow-moving Opi osition" to take up the question as a political iseoe, with the probability of rather nnsomfortable results for Sir flames. The W orad says : Sir James Whitney bag one more great step to take to endear himself to Ontario and to write lie name se the friend pf all, even as be Is now re- garded as the friend of most. It is in the r•eforu' of taxation incidence. We believe Sir James has not given the question his own personal atten- tion. but hes been content to rely in this matter on the opinions of others, So witch advance has been made in Britain and other countries in their policies of taxation• not to mention the tendency in other Canadian Prov- inces and the colonies generally. that Ontario is decidedly hehlndhand in a natter in which the banner I'roviuce ought to he foremost-, Sir James •wgbt•to take up the question hefore the slow-moving Oppo.itioo arrive at a, end make it an issue. Municipal opinion in Ontario is strongly in favor of a reform. The principle of taxing a man for making improvements on his property. rod thus setting a fort- mium on want of enterprise and idle - nese, is thoroughly bad. and we feel Cure the( Sir James would not at- tempt u. defend it it' he gave,the ques- tion some stndv. The St. .Toon. N. H. Telegraph. commenting on Vancouver, illustrates what the Dominion feeling is from end to end. The whole country is alive to the necessity of exempting improvements end placing taxation where it belongs, nn land values. The Telegraph soya further : "Tbe system has been established in Vancouver, Prince Rupert. *emuter- laud, Nenaimo and Edmonton. User places gat the principal part of *sir Income from land value isxx- tfos. Vancouver has outs three OEM. a tax on liquor. which is A Die ednlon tax ; a tax on doge because they do not want doge, and a tilt on land because they do not want unused Wad. ' ''fie .+sewed mouth after the law wept into effect in Vancouver con- tiaeta were mads 1,v citizens for SI. - 750.000 of new buildings. This in a serf which bee less than twice the pop- lation of Rt. John means something. -Vancouver is rapidly drawing pop - i00 from aeerhy American cities which collect their taxes in the old way. markedly from Seattle, which !uses live families a week to the Cana- dian tnwh."

Su Tar se tee preservation of 'the country's re- sources is ooneerned, however, it. does not make much difference whether the manufacturing is done on thio side of the border �,' nn the other. If the spoliation o our twines and our tor - est= and our soil is u1 he avoided, the object will not be esccomplished by keeping out the United States manu- facturers and giving our own nsou- lecturers free tinge. Conservation must be'secured independently of any question of intitrnational trade. What would Mr. stilton propose it the United States. without any reference tol'aoades action. should abolish its import duties on Canadiad raw Mate-- ? Mr. Sifton'it. second objertinn '.o reciprocity was that if ,nwcessful it would lead to political union ; if not, if it led to dispute and to the abroga- tion of the treaty. Canada wouldhave to begin over again in perhaps fifteen years from now to build up its trade in other channels. )Ir. Sefton con- veniently forgets that jluit hefo-e the old reciprocity treaty with the United States was arranged there was a. deep and wideapretui feeling in Cailocha iu favor of annexatl'mt to the United States, and that the pm=perity r•e- eulting front that trent). effectually quenched the ennexatioe sentiment. 'Canada is leis dependent upon trade with the United Stetea than it was fifty years ago, and the Canadian national spirit 15 iroueasurably. carouser, and this country can be neither coerced nor cajoled into join- ing hands in political union with the 1'nit1'd States. Mr. teifton realizes this perfectly well. and he must have been overly anxious to secure the plaudits of his Montreal audience when he advanced such at plea. The stiggrstuln that Canadians will forget' Meir nationality through npuch. trading with the people arrnes the' hnrtler is Akin to saying that a Pres- byterian. say. is in danger of -losing Ids attachment for his church because he deals with a Methodist butter - maker or nn Anglican baker.. 1 Mr. biftun is probably the. a peea t utas who has cone out in opposition to reciprocity. The arguments which he advances show how tittle is to be said against ;a reasonable. arrange- ment for better trade relations with our neighbors. EDITORIAL NOTES.
