The plan who by Ills industry bringo
forth twenty hesitate where be puts in
one, or who by the opplioation of his
labor converts clay and timber into a
dwelling, is pereaing the honest course of
acquiring wealth. 1-1'e creates prosperity
and thus esttabiisbos a right to enjoy
prosperity, But when 15 1111311 raises no
crop an hie land, when he adds nothing no
whatever to the prosperity of the un.
try, when by keeping his hand idle ho has
helped to keep the mon idle, and has
thus impeded the welfare of the country,
what poosibls claim 0011 he have to a
share of the prosperity begotten by the
industry of others ?
And yet the law imposes increased
taxes on the honest method of acquiring
wealth, ae though It were an evil to be
suppressed, and it keeps down taxes on
the extortionate misuse of land, as if it
were a good to be fostered, Thus, hon-
esty is discouraged and extortion is in-
directly bonuses!. '
Could we bring a stronger indictment
against the present method of taxation 7
Industry, honeety, enterprise, the very
source and fountain of prosperity, taxed
heavily and consequently depressed ; ex-
tortion, non -enterprise, non -improvement
taxed lightly and thus aided.
But the injustice of the present system
nn of taxation is most manifest in the large
cities, the larger the oity, the greater the
ds- injustice, The land in the heart of To -
tonic is worth from 920,000 to 960,000

New, here aro two men, one luxuriating

In answer to this question, we have to
colt your attention to this monstrous'
fact :—The farmer who struggles in the
most disadvantageous locating, and who
receives the least advantages from gov-
ernment, the farmer who struggles with a
mortgage which he finds it impossible to
reduce, much less to pay off, the laborer,
who with his otmoab toil secures but a
miserable livelihood, the serving woman,
NVho succeeds in some way in sustaining
life on sweatshop wages ; all these must
give several days' toil every year, direct,
ly or iudirently, for the support of gov-
ernment. On the other hand, in oar
large cities, a man may oolleot a fortune
yearly from ground rents, and never be
called on to give one hour's service in a
life time to support government or to
support anything else.
That which we plead for ; namely the
abolition of the law that taxes a mon for
making improvements, has been ;already
adopted in a greater or lass degree in the
legislatnre of Manitoba, the North West
Provinces, British Columbia, New Zea-
land, New South Wales and South Aus-
tralia,
We would, therefore, erre that the
Legislature of this Province either
amend the assessment oat so as -to re.
duce the assessment of improvements
or that permission hs given to the
municipalities so to do.

Thou fairy llake,
No orb eau make
With all her cunning skill
A gem so bright,
That charms the eigint
Like snow or sparkling rill.
Thy silver sheen,
By moonlight seen,
Bedeoke the snowy mount ;
Thy orystal flow
Reflects below
lion image in the fount.
With *loft, sweet song
Ib trips along
The mountaiu'a sunny side,
But 011 1 the roar
On ocean chore
When daah'd by foaming tide.
In slumber meek,
Oo snowy peak,
Awakened by a breath
Then clown the steep,
With mighty sweep,
The vale to hush in death.
The bed in sheath,
The bonny heath,
The lily of the field,
Receive from thee
Thy bounties free ;
In turn their sweets they yield.
In aloud or wave
Thou bast no grave,
Immortal as the sun,
By law divine
Three forms combine,
Thy triple race to run.
In fleecy snow,
Lt liquid flow,
On twilight's dewy wing,
Thou gentle dove .
To Him above
Thy praises Over sing.

William Booker, of Zurich, was tried
before Judge Masson at Goderieli for for-
gery. The act charged was that of forg-
ing the namos of three of his relatives to
a note for 9050, and his relatives all ap-
peared and swore that their signatures
were forged. As the law requires cor-
roborative testimony in a charge of forg-
ery, a banker from Exeter was called, but
as he swots he believed the eignaturee
were all genuine, the case ended in the
dismissal of the defendant.
Flus ON Tele SW:MIN.—Wednesday of

in the room over Allen's hardware store
occupied by S. Grierson as a tailoring

The fire evidently starred in Griereon's

some time, as tile iirs had burned through
the floor and ceiling into the stere below,
and had it not been discovered when it
was would have soon burned itself info
