—'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

—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-

Cement Co., Ltd., of which A. F.

president of the A. F. McLaren
Cheese Company, Ltd., Toronto,
Ont., and Dr. David Jameson, M.
P. P., of Durham, Ont., president

the heads, have made application
to the Provincial Government for a
charter to incorporate a company

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

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.
Asthma Can be Cured.
Thousand of testimonials conclusively
prove that Asthma pan be permanently
cured by inhaling Catarrhozoue, a
vegetable antiseptic that destroys at
ouce the germs pausing the diseases.
Catarrho, tone gives immediate relief
to the distressing cough and suffocating
sensations, makes breathing easy and
regular and insures undisturbed sleep.
Catarrhozone cures Asthma that doctors
are unable even to relieve and can cure
you. The Catarrhozone inhaler is Made
of hard rubber, fits into the vest pocket
can be used at work, in church, in the
street, in bed—any place—at any time.
