-The census and statistics depart-
ment has figured out the population
of Canada to be 6,501,900 on the first
day of April of the present year. 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.

-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. -

-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

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.
