At the last decennial census the popula- tion was 5,371,3144', so that in the six years there has been an increase of 1,133,585. If the present growth is kept up the population of Canada will be over seven and a half millions when the next census is recorded. «�* -In speaking at the opening of Kirkfield lock of the Trent Valley Canal, Hon. Mr. Lemieux protested against the expenditure of so much in Canada for militarism, and declared the money would be better in public works. There are more necessary and commendable works than the canal referred to, but Mr. Lemieux is on the right track. What does this country of six millions want with an expendi- ture of millions for military purposes. * * i -The Stratford Herald very pro- perly remarks as follows t -With the Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodist church conclaves declaiming against the prevalent electoral corruption and grafting on the public treasury and in the public domain, there is surely something for the people of Canada to take notice of. In addition, there is the cry of personal immorality, raised by the blunt remarks of G. W. Fowler in the House of Commons and brought to the front forcibly in the courts of New Brunswick. The de- fiant attitude of Mr. Crockett, of the Fredericton Gleaner, and the decision of the plaintiff in the case to not trou- ble himself any further about it, have a tendency to cast odium on the pub- lic men of the country, Reports sent all over the world about these matters are sure to discredit Canadians as to their choice of representatives. ** -One of the arguments advanced by the railroads in answer to the de- mand for a two -cent rate is, that it would compel the abolishment of spe- cial rates for return journeys, excur- sions, commutation tickets, and simi- lar privileges. If these special rates are granted at the expense of the gen- eral travelling public, as the argument implies, the sooner such unfair dis- criminations are abolished the better, and all classes of travellers placed upon an equality, with a rock -bottom rate all the year round, Why should one class of traveller be taxed for the special benefit of another? Under a two -cent per mile rate it is probable that there would be less of what is known as holiday trade, but many persons who from reasons of economy confine their travel to the excursion periods, would be able to travel more during the year, while the inevitable general increase of travel from busi- ness or necessity would probably in- crease the annual receipts, rather than reduce them ruinously, as the rail- ways seem to fear. - e * • -On the 24th of April Mr. Borden moved a resolution setting forth that the rapidly increasing public expendi- ture was a matter of grave concern, that the expenditure authorized dur- ing the session then just closing amounted to $121,428,290, exclusive of railway subsidies of $5,000,000 and loans of $9,678,200, making a total of $136,106,429, or about $22 for "every in- habitant of Canada and $110 for every family of five. Mr. Borden showed that the taxation had increased from less than $2$,000,000 in 1806 to more than $80,000,000 in 2006 and that the taxation per head had grown from $5.46 ten years ago to $10 note. The re- solution also stated that the public as- sets had been depleted by grants and concessions by which designing parti- san intriguers had become enriched at the expense of the people, that the Public Committee had during the last two sessions disclosed the operations of middlemen who had made enor- 1110115 profit and rake-off in public business, and also that election frauds exposed had been carried out by the expenditure of large sums of money and the aid of such middlemen. Mr. Borden's Motion asked the House to condemn this mal-administratiole and corruption, The motion was defeated by a straight party vote of 01 to 4% C. About eleven yearn ago a favorite theme of Liberal campaigners was the cost of Rideau Hall, the residence of the Ooxerltor-Generitl, Inv the eke - out of l$$1, ilipl, 1890, tilts cost of furniture, equipment and repairs of this house were topics to which the farmers were asked to pay indignant attention. Members of Parliament, some of whom have become Ministers since then, declaimed on this theme in the House of Commons and the com- mittees at great length and with con. siderable violence, Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier was advertised to the country as the reformer who would cure all this by making Rideau Hall a home of primitive and economical simplicity. And now Rideau Hall is to be a pal- ace. Last session of the House pro- vided for the expenditure of $100,000 as a first instalment to pay for this castle. The changes will be many and finishings elaborate. The additional floor space is 16,000 square feet. Whatever money is required to pay for all this democratic simplicity, in addition to the $100,000 already voted, will be in next year's estimates. The Government cannot be expected to accomplish all this simplification and economy in one year. Of course this, all means additional charges for furni- ture and maintenance hereafter. The equipment must be made to match. Heating and light allowance must he increased, and the number of employ- ees will probably be doubled. OUR OWN COUNTRY. The following is an extract from an article by P. T. McGrath, on "The re- lations of Canada and the United States." Canadians claim their country the richest in the world to -day ; her foreign trade, per capita of the population, is two and one-half times as great as that of the United States, and she has no war debt, no pension roll, no costly navy, and but a small military outlay. Moreover, she is not essentially a manufacturing country, though she is steadily becoming so, as Census of 1900 shows that the output of her factories (employing five or more hands) was valued that year at $481,000,000, or within $30,000,000 of the combined worth of the agricul- tural, dairying, mineral, forest, and fishing industries of the Dominion. Her great asset to -day is her wheat ; out of 171,000,000 acres of wheatlands in the Northwest only 7 per cent. are yet under cultivation, and they pro- duce 200,000,000 bushels of grain per year against a total United States wheat crop of 735,000,000, while it is predicted that within ten years Cana- da will quadruple her present output, when her two new transcontinental railways are completed and new areas opened up for cultivation. A country which is becoming rich at this rate is a liberal purchaser, and Canada's total imports, which took their first big bound in 1898 from $106,000,000 to $126,000,000, bad reach- ed $283,000,000 in 1006, an increase of 167 per cent, in eight years, Of these $173,000,000 were dutiable and $110,- 000,000 free, a circumstance which ac- counts both for the great expansion in her manufactures, and also for the equanimity with which she meets an adverse "balance of trade" or excess of imports over exports of nearly $40,- 000,000, since that represents raw material. The United States has been the greatest beneficiary by Canada's enhanced prosperity, and American sates to Canada have increased from $75,000,000 in 1898 to $168,000,000 in 1906, representing 60 per cent. of the total import in both cases, while the imports from Britain, despite a tariff reduction or "preference" of 33i per cent. in favor of British goods, have only increased from $32,000,000 to $69,000,000, being but 25 per cent. of the whole in each case. Teeswater. A large barn 48x64 was raised on July 4th on the farm of Alex. Simp- son, con. 4, Culross, Wm. Davidson has completed for John Gordon, the drilling of the deep- est well in town. It is 114 feet deep. R. J. Hiscox and family will move to Toronto in the near future. Dur- ing his recent trip to the Old Country Mr, Hiscox secured agencies for a number of English, Irish and Scotch exporting houses and in order to at- tend to his new duties it is necessary that he move to the city. Rev. M. J. Wilson preached his in- troductory sermon at Mildmay, on Sunday afternoon, a week ago. The Mildmay Methodist congregation is now united with the Teeswater charge and Mr. Wilson will have charge while he remains here. Sunday will be a. busy day with him as the work at Mildmay involves a nine mile drive over every Sunday afternoon and re- turn for the evening service here. About 11 o'clock one night recently some miscreant standing on Clinton street threw a stone the size of a man's fist through a large pane of glass in Mr. Gibson's store front. The stone went through an inside sash as well and passed very near a show case on the counter where more damage might have been done. The Stone Was found on the floor in the morn- ing. The person who did this ought to be in the Central Prison or in the Kingston penitentiary. Don't Use (treaty Liniments. A century ago they were popular. To -day people want something easy to apply, certain in retiults, and above all a clean liniment. When Nerviline is applied aches and pales disappear as the pores absorb its soothing healing properties. Nerviline penetrates to the core of the pain, eases instantly and leaves no oily bad smelling memory behind. Good to take, capit- al to rub on, and five times more pow- erful Don't fail to than large oilyt battle, FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT SEE. i In making his annual appeal to the readers of Ontario newspaoers for in- formation which will enable him to locate the children and youths of both sexes who are eligible for admission as pupili of the School for the Blind at Brantford, Principal Gardiner asks The Advance to call public attention to the need for some institution where the adult blind may be instructed and employed. General experience has demonstrated the inadvisability of combining a workshop for adults with a school for children under one man- agement, yet the blind adults, who far outnumber the children of school age, should be no longer neglected. In New York State, it has been ascer- tained by careful enquiry that out of 0,008 blind persons only 584, or 9.72 per cent, of the total number, are under 21 years of age 3,192, or 53.11 per cent., are over 60 years of age ; while 1,375, or 22.88 per cent., are between the ages of twenty-one and fifty -in the prime of life and capable of being ren- dered in whole or in part self support- ing. It is probable that the percent- ages in Ontario are similar to those in New York. Many lose their sight by accident after passing school age, and many who have been blind from birth or childhood need help and direction in order to work profitably. In Cali- fornia, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Massachu- setts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wis- consin workshops or "homes" have been provided, and in Washington, Colorado and other States the matter has been taken up by Women's Clubs and other associations of philanthro- pic ladies, whose influence upon public opinion and the Legislatures will cer- tainly effect the desired result. The first necessity is to get an ac- curate knowledge of the facts, and to this end Mr. Gardiner will gladly re- ceive information relating to blind residents of Ontario of all ages (names and postoffice addresses). Those un- der twenty-one years of age, not de- ficient in intellect, and free from dis- ease and physical infirmity, who are blind, or whose sight is so defective that they are unable to read ordinary type and attend a school for the see- ing without serious injury to the sight should attend the school at Brantford, which is maintained by the Provincial government for their benefit. A let- ter or postcard, addressed to the Prin- cipal, will receive immediate atten- tion. WINGHAM General Hospital. (Under Government Inspection.) • Pleasantly situated. Beautifully furnished.
