DULMAQI3 Obilariai Edo —'there were exported from the United States in the fiscal year 1901-02 horses to the number of 105,200 head, valued at $2,692,298. These were the heaviest shipments ever made from that country, and exceeded the previous high record. in 1900-01 by 20,770 head. Al- most 60 per cent. of the 1901-02 exports were consigned to South Africa. * —The trouble is that John Bull discovered the Canadian govern- ment's trick of boosting the duty on goods which we import from Britain and then lowering the duty to the original figure. And, seeing no benefit to himself in that John felt that lie owed Canada nothing, except perhaps a good kicking for attempting to deceive him,— [Ham- ilton Spectator, * * * —The Western Canada Portland Cement Co., Ltd., of which A. F. McLaren, M. P. of Stratford, Ont., president of the A. F. McLaren Cheese Company, Ltd., Toronto, Ont., and Dr. David Jameson, M. P. P., of Durham, Ont., president of the Durham Furniture Co., are the heads, have made application to the Provincial Government for a charter to incorporate a company for the manufacture of cement, the capital of which is to be $1,000,000. * * * —Tho failure of the Colonial Conference may do something to acquaint Canadians with the migh- ty truth that Imperialism begins at home. In time of war Canadians must direct their energy to the point of danger to the Empire. In time of peace their energy is need- ed at home, and in such times Canada will do her share of work 'for the Empire if she settles 0n right lines the great problems rais- ed by her own development.— [Toronto Telegram. —Mr. W. H. Dean, one of the largest shippers from the Toronto market, says : "If the embargo were taken away the cattle would be bought here, while quite young, and would be shipped to England to be fed and finished. This would drain the country of all the best young stock, and the cattle -raising industry would suffer accordingly. We want to keep on raising and feeding cattle here, and continue to ship them in the fattened state. Theremovalwould suit the ship- ping companies and those who want to sell half-grown cattle." * —Prof. Goldwin Smith says :— This explosion of Doukhobor in-. sanity will, it may be hoped, deter the Government from pursuing its ill-starred policy of importing into the North-West, mostly at the cost of the eastern Provinces, the waifs and eccentricities of Europe, alien to our civilization. Inquiry would have shown what the Doukhobors were, and why the Russian Gov- ernment, generally tenacious of al- legiance, was so wilting to let them go. Had the North-West been left to its natural course of develop- ment, it would have been peopled by spontaneous immigration when its time had arrived ; that is, when the land of the adjacent territories had been taken up. —The Toronto Star says :—It is estimated that there are still five hundred million acres of unpatent- ed Iands in the United States—not including Alaska—and although much of it is valueless territory, there remains plenty of room still for increased population. The in- flow of Americans to our West is not, therefore, due to the exhaus- tion of new lands in the Republic, but to the discovery that one of the very finest wheat -growing regions of the world is open for settlement in Canada, and home -seekers who know what they are about, are moving in and acquiring a share of it, These people are not forced to our West, but attracted there. They are not the overflow. * * * —The U. S. National Provisioner recently sized up the cattle situa- tion as follows : "Stockers and feeders furnish the feature of the cattle market. They are being bought in very large quantities, but at high prices for such stook. This indicates that next year's market will be well supplied with finished beef, but at what price. the future alone can tell. As. the feeder cost now an average of over $4 per hun- dred lbs., live weight, it is safe to say that they cannot come back into the market as finished beef steers at under $6.50 per hundred lbs. average price on the hoof. That means high finished beef next year. The present lower price of grass beef means nothing, Such beef is always cheap at this tirne of the year," * --Alfred McDougall, a trusted official of the Ontario G vornment, is behind the bars, eharged with appropriating $6,500 from the suc- cession duties. It is said that there is a shortage hi his accounts of $25,000, and that the stealing has boon going on sines 18)1, 'What rL wonderful system of book-keeping mco,..st be that of the Ontario THE WINGHA.IVI ADVANCE. November 13, 1902 ernment, and what a method of audit, when such stealing from public funds could go ou without discovery for eleven years. It is no wonder that there is a _dispute about the "surplus." Is it not time that there was a change of Government, and a thorough straightening up of the books 2 With such a loose system as that which allowed stealing to go on without discovery for so many years, there may bo other leakages revealed by a businesslike audit. It is said McDougall's deficit may reach thirty thousand dollars. * * —Instances in the New World of successful operation of municipal ownership of public utilities are not sufficiently numerous — probably a y r. owing to attempts having been so few—that we cannot afford to pass over the recent report of the town of Santa Clara, Cal. The town has a population of 3,650 persons. While it will be noticed that the i E experiment is not exactly a huge one, perhaps it is harder to handle such things in small towns than in ^^^ big cities. Its tax rate is only $3.- 60 on the thousand doIIars. Last year the receipts from taxes were a little less than $5,000, and those from licenses were $1,600, or about $6,600 in all. Yet the town ex- pended $10,850 and has to its credit $3,100 as a result of the last year. That is to say, the expenses and the balance are $7;350 more than the receipts for taxes and licenses. This amount was earned by the public utilities of the town operat- ed by the municipality. Under the old way of letting a few people en- joy these profits accruing from the great natural monopolies, the taxes would have been almost double what they are,—[Saturday Night.

ON THE INCREASE. The annual report of the Inland Revenue Department for the Do- minion for the year ending June 30 last was issued last Thursday. The quantity of spirits produced during the year was 3,234,147 proof gal- lons, as compared with 2,652,708 proof gallons produced in the pre- vious fiscal year. The revenue for the year was $11,433,871, compared with $10,608,708 last year, an in- crease of $820,173. The raw material used in the production of spirits during the year was 41,397,871 pounds Indian corn ; 9,449,057 pounds rye ; 3,432,- 063 pounds malt ; 413,465 oats, and 29,470 wheat.. The people drank more spirits and beer last year than they did in the previous year. The quantity of spirits consumed per head was .796 against .767 last year. Beer 5.102, compared with 4.737 ; and .090 wine, compared with .100 in 1901. The consumption of tobacco was the same as in 1901. The number of cigars used dur- ing the year was 151,780,516, com- pared with 141,096,889 last year. The cigarettes were 134,236,034, compared with 121,383,584 last year, so that while there were con- siderable more cigars and cigarettes used during the year, the same quantity of tobacco was consumed.
