Winter -1 g4:4jurou SEAFORTH, FR _ The Donn After twen the debate on the was brought to a e ten o'clock, by a d amendment to t Clark on the moti the speech from th DAY, April 21st, 1899 ion Parliament. of centinuoue talking steech from the throne ose Tuesday night, about ✓ sinn on Mr. Bertram's • amendment of Mr. is for the adoption of throne. Mr. Bertram's amendment was carried by a vote of 101 to 48, thus gisring the Gclrvernment a majority of 53. Although tbeire were a number of members absent, this division gives a pretty true indieation of the strength of , the Government. Mr. Bertram's aMend- ment was : " Thet we have ob- served with pleasure that on receipt of complaints against Home of the officials in the Yukon district his Excellency's Gov- ernment took prompt action to inquire into the matter of such c mplaints, and have appointed Mr: Wm. 0 ilvie as commissioner for the purpose. Havi g entire confidence in the integrity and a.b lity of Mr. Ogilvie, we are satisfied that hi inquiry will be im- partial and thorough, Excellency's advisers i informetion as is neces to do justice to all par and will place his possession of Euch ary to enable them ies con,cerned." Municipal Bonusing. Tbe following i8 ae extract from an edi- torial in the Toronto Globe of a few days ago : In a letter pablished ,o -day r. Andrew Pattullo, M. P. P., giv s a 1 cture against bonuses, exemptions and epe ial favors to manufacturers, and the tGlobe heartily en- - dorses his views on thatIquestion. He can- not make his declamations too strong against a policy of favoring o e individual or class at the expense of other , nor against the competitive bidding of • unicipalities for the establishment of fac ories within 1 their bounds. The Globe has opposed the bonus and exemption policy o municipali- ties for years,'and Mr. Pattull 'a advice to declare " in favor of the abolition, abaolute and final, of municipal aid in every form, direct and indirect, to industrial establish- ments," is entirely unnecessary. That is the position which the Globe has Maintain- ed ever since the manufacturing industries , of the province found a field of enterprise in ' seeking municipal favore. -se ' There is a great deal of sentimental non- sense spoken and written on this bonusing question, and it is a pity that such sensible people as the Globe and Mr. eattullo should add to the nenseneical literature on this subject. The Provincial Legislature grant- ed bonuses to assishin the construction of railweye, at its( last sessiou, to the amount of a million and a quarter of_dollars ; it also adopted resolutione authorizing the Govern- ment to bonus the iron Smelting itklustry. Thee() bonuses were sapported by' both the Globe and Mr. Pattullo. Now, we would like to knOw what difference there is in piineiple between these provineial bonuses and the bonuses granted by municipalities. They both have, practically, the scene ob- ject in view, and how any peraon can con- sistently support the one and oppose the other, is more than we can conceive, ' If the oneis injurious and dangerous, the other must, be equally so. If it is right and proper for the Legislature to ens* laws preventing munieipalities gr anting bonuses why should it not be equally proPer and - wise,for the Dominion Parliament to pass similar lawI8 respectine the provinces, But, if they were to attempt to do so, we know the Globe would be among the first to pro - teat against such interference. The pro- vincial and municipal bonuses have precise- ly the same object in view, viz., the pro- motion of enterprises in their respective spheres whieh are considered necessary and in_the public interests. It is given as an excuse for depriving the people of the muni- cipalities of the right of granting money in this way that mech money has 'been wasted and lost through giving bonuses. This is, no doubt, quite true, but the same argument will hold as strongly in connectian with bonuseagiven by the Province and Domin- ion. It will not be denied that rnuch of the ProVincial and Dominion money that has been given to aid railways has been need to line the pockets of the promoters and contractors, instead of going into the construction of the roads to aid which it was granted. Hundreds of thousands of ' dollars have been paid out of the Provincial treasury to secure railway competition in this Province, and as soon as the competing roads were built they were gobbled up by and amalgamated with the roads agaisat which they were built to compete, and the A THE • URON EXPOS TOR competition for whioh E we ,have paid our money has not yet been and never will be secured. But, because this is the case, would it be wise. toe. close up our purse strings and say we will not:give aid to any scheme, no matter how meritorous and beneficial it maybe ? Such a policy would be unwise and childish, and yet this is pre- cisely the. policy that the Globe and Mr. Pattullo 8.re so OAMir/U8 to force upon the municipalit les. The granting of these bonuses is a purely business transeaition, the wisdom or other- wise of wiich must bel judged by those in- terested and who have to pay the money. Under existing circuinstances in this coun- try, the airatem is MOIre or less a necessity. The tendency of capiia.1 at the present time is to concentrate in few:hands, thus making the rich richer and the poor poorer. In like manner, the tendency of manufacturing industry and commercial enterprise is to concentrate in certain centres or localities. This concentration is not a good thing, as it leads to monopolies and rings,. and hae for its inevit 'ble result the oppression of the working asses. Besides this, it robe the many to a d to the,weaith of the few.1 The bonueing lystem, if judiciously exeroised, has a tendency to counteract this centraliz- ing precast', and to keep tho trade and enter- prises of the country in a wider circle- it bly the fact that tbe large such as Toronto, for instance, es and facilities for -manufac- is unquestion trade centres have advanta tnres which smaller towns do not possess. lu order, the efore, to retain their standing, and prevent 11 the manufacturing i duStries going to th large centres whe e these speoial advantages exist, it is nece the smaller towns togive tbern BOM ment that will compensate them fo vantages Which the larger Centres, of their looation, enjoy. This is giving a Money grant, free capit term of yeors, exemption from -taxa so on. It, is a matter of businese t ave license liquor sell.ng, while in ohtiao county but ona-fifteenth of the unieipalitiee al ow the sele of intoxicants i hin their bor ers. There is not another rovinee thet ea, show Bitch a record for- emperanee as this. Mr. Fisher says the reason the people of Quebec voted so strong- ' against prnhibition, is that they clo not el the nee for it as the other provinces o, and the circumstances et em to justify his belief The repo t now current that the Amer - i an Gov° ent have passed AU order for a prohi 1 ory duty on lumber going into the 'Unit d States from Canada.

The sooner therefore, that the Legislature return to the municipalities the powers they enjoyed respecting bonuses, prior to 189e', the bet- ter, and both the`Globes and Mr. Pattullo will be doing more commendable work in trying to have these privilege's restored, than in seeking to further hamper the enterprise of municipalities and muzzle the people.

He sustained an ugly cut on the back , of his head, which 'will necessitate two or , three days' rest in bed," a At the la two Dominion electio ✓ cording to he statement of Hon. f Fisher, in his peach in the House the • day, 66 per c nt. of the electorate; as O sented on th voters' lists voted. prohibition s, ac - Mr. other apse - t the ebiscite election only 44 per „ cent. of those repreaented on the lists A oted. At the Domin'on eleceame also, the v ters" lists were th EC prepared under th old franchise act, and consequently there were not nearly so any available votes as t the p e iscite vo e, which took place o the Provincial lists. But, taking the co peri - 1 Son as it exist , while 66 per cent. vo ed at the political elections, only 44 ,per cent. , voted on the lebisciee, or two-thirds f the ; available vote was recorded, and of these I one-third- vot d for prphibi ion ; 'one third i voted agains it, and one -bird ,•refr ined I from ivoting. eurely no repecting p /eon will say, tha on the atrertgth s ch a vote, it would be safe or wise to en et a prohibitory'la , a law that would eces- eerily interfer with the social habit and customs of the pe ple, and distur the whole financi 1 and commercial cend•tions , of the country 4. would not only be jur- iota to the eo ntry, but would be ru nous to the temper nee sentiment of t e people. Had twothird of th* available v te been recorded in fa or of Iprohibition and only one-third age, net it, then it would have ' • been thereby shown that the public sen- timent was suf cientl strong to secure the success of such a law. The sooner the tem- perance people realize the situation the bet- ter it will be 1 r the dause. a I The Montreal Star, in referring to the Dominion Parliament, says : " To -day the noisy declai mere against ex travagance, against protection, against candale, against deals ire as silent as the eaf and dumb alphabet." That is true, a d the reason no doubt is that there is no xtravagance, no scandals and no deals, to de laim against. • 'On account of the provin e of Quebec giv- irig such a large vote agai st prohibition, some temperance folks havel rushed to the i conclusion that they are a v ry intemperate :)eople in that province. This, it wnuld ecm, is a very erroneous opinion, as waa hown by lion. Sidney Fisher in his speech , in the House the other day. He said that eighteen counties in the proVince have not a single liquor licenee ; five counties have on- ly one ; eight have but two • air counties have three licensee apiece. in the county of Ottawa only one-tenth of the municipal'. ondesboro.
