-The six largest commercial ship-
ping ports in the world are, it would
appear from the returns of trade
values -London, Liverpool, Hull, Mar-
seilles, New York and San Francisco.
-According to the official returns
of the bureau of statistics, Depart-
ment of Commerce and Labor, the
exports of boots and shoes from the
United States for the fiscal year end-
ing June 80, 1903, were 4,197,566 pairs,
valued at $6,06:1,017. It is said that
of these over 1,000,000 pairs were sent
to Canada.
Ar*
-Chief Officer Saunders of the On-
tario License Department, says things
will be made lively for vendors of
liquor who transgress the law. As a
result of the vigilance of the Depart-
ment and Hon. W. J. Hanna, 18 pro-
secutions have been entered in Nor-
folk county in a week, of which 12
were in Simcoe. A large number of
these pleaded guilty and were fined.
AAA
-Although New Zealand has but
850,000 inhabitants or thereabout, her
imports and exports summed up in
1901 to approximately $140,000,000, an
amount per capita greater probably
than that of any other country in the
world, Great Britain included. At
the same rate Canada's Import and
Export Trade should be something
over $980,000,000, although in 1904 it
was but $158,000,000.
AAA
-The Speakership of the British
House of Commons is a good job.
With the salary of $25,000 a year, it
carries the use of a magnificent resi-
dence in the Palace of Westminster,
overlooking the Thames, and various
allowances, perquisites and preroga-
tives. And when the holder retires,
or is retired, he drops into a comforta-
ble pension of $20,000 a year for the
remainder of his life and it peerage.

-The Brooklyn Eagle tells that ten
years ago murders in the United
States averaged about five a day.
Last year the average was about four-
teen. This is an appalling record but
it is not all. Ten years ago capital
punishment was meted out to one in
each sixteen of the murderers. Last
year the proportion was only one in
seventy-two. The fewer murderers
punished, the more murders commit-
ted is the logical conclnsion.
AAA
-John Fraser, chief clerk and Do-
minion bookkeeper in the Finance De-
partment, will succeed 3. Lorne Mc-
Dougall, C. M. G., as Auditor -General
on August llth. The order -in -Council
has been passed, and Mr. Fraser will
take up his new duties as soon as he
conies hack from his vacation. He
has been in the service since 1875, is
52 years old, and has been chief clerk
for seven years. He will now get
$4,000 a year instead of $2,450.
RFA
-Thomas Macfarlane, Anal yst-in-
chief of the Dominion Government,
in a recent report, gives the startling
information that of seventy-four sam-
ples of jams and jellies collected at
hazard from different parts of the
country and analysed, but fourteen
were genuine, five being doubtful and
fifty-five adulterated. The adulterat-
ed samples constituted 73.3% of the
whole, notwithstanding the fact that
none of the samples were condemned
on account of the use only of preserva-
tives or artificial dyes.
AAA
-Mr. McDougall, until recently
Canada's faithful Auditor -General, has
been pensioned, and is allowed the
lowest possible amount, $2,160 per an-
num. Millionaires or wealthy men
like Mulock, Sifton and Tupper get
$3,500 per annum. McDougall, whose
watchfulness as guardian of the Trea-
sury saved Canada many thousands of
dollars, is cut off with the minimum
amount. Hard, faithful service for a
long terra does not seem to have been
properly recognized. Hula Mr. Mc-
Dougall been less conscientious and
more willing to be the tool of others,
he would have fared better. Sad that
ft should be so.

-The Goderich Signal says : The
salary grab at Ottawa is a scandal and
an outrage. The spectacle of the
members, supposed to represent the
people and to guard the national
purse, voting themselves an extra
thousand dollars apiece, in defiance of
public opinion and regardless of the
indecency of the affair, Is enough to
disgust and sicken a people whose
stoitutclrs, politically, ore not very
easily turned. The result of the 111 -
crease will be a tendency to make Par-
liament a resort for adventurers who
make a trade of polities, pod men who
could not earn $1,00) a year in honest
business will aspire to Parliamentary
position, and employ their wits to.

-A new scheme is suggested for
obtaining power from the water of
Niagara river, This time the rapids
below the Falls are to he utilized. An
Pas the five nulls between the, alis and
Lewiston there is a drop in the river
of something like 100 feet, and it is
elniined. that 2,500,000 horse -power aro
at present going to waste. A. recent
writer in the Engineering Magazine
advises the building of an hundred
foot dale at Lewiston, which would,
of course, drown the rapids and con-
vert the whirlpool into a co nperativo
n1i11 pond. Such a. dans, it is said,
would cause no injury to the natural
falls of Niagara. by destroying their
beauty, nor would it injure the exist-
ing power plants at the falls.

---This is the way the Mt. Forest
Representative puts it -"Too Italy
short cuts to success have been tried
in polities. J. P. Whitney has set an
example of travelling a straight road
of honesty and courage that ought to
be a lesson to all Canadians. It is
now evident to all that it is politically
good business for J. P. Whitney to
travel in the path of the just•. Sin-
cerity and courage in public life are
the best politics. There is alway
room on the straight road. The
crooked ways in politics are already
overcrowded, Mr. Whitney was able
to find elbow room on the straigh
road. Cunning is played out, and
Ottawa politicians, after the Autono-
my Bill and salary grab, have got to
be taught this fact, and other public
men encouraged to follow Mr. Whit-
ney's example."
TUE BURDEN ON ONTARIO.
(Weekly Sun.)
Not all of the ninety millions appro.
priated by' Parliament this session
will cone out of taxation on borrowed
money. Patt of it will be suet out of
receipts from the sales of pnblie hands,
part by the revenue of the postofTlce,
which is a self-sustaining service and
in, part provision will be made out of
receipts from the Intercolouial, which
is partially self-sustainiug.
It is safe to say, however, that if
the ninety millions is spent $75,000,00()
must come out of taxes or borrowed
uency, Ontario's share of this total
will amount to at least ,10 per cent, 0r
$30,000,0(X). That $30,000,00() lutist
cone primarily from the soil of the
Province. It is equal to a charge of
three per cent. on the total value of
all the farm property of Ontario ; it is
equal to 60 per cent. of the value of all
the live stock sold or slaughtered in
the Province in a single year ; it rep-
resents one-third of' the value of the
field crops of Ontario ; aside from
fruits and vegetables, as estimated by
the Dominion census in 1901 ; it is al-
most equal to the value of our dairy
products as estimated by the same
authority for the year named.
The burden is a tremendous handi-
cap on the industry and enterprise of
our people.
-Shelburne elevators and store-
houses were burned on Wednesday
last. The total loss is $30,000, with in-
surance of $11,000.
s- -A C.P.R. press despatch says the
total crop of wool in tie Territories
this year will be 700,000 lbs. The best
class of Western wool is very fine, al-
most pure merino, and will clean up
60 per cent. of scoured.
-Vet weather about Uxbridge de-
layed the hay harvest by about -.two
weeks, according to the Journal. Ow-
ing to the delay and excessive mois-
ture, much of the hay rotted before
cutting. The grain harvest is expect-
ed to be a bountiful one.
AAA
-In speaking at a picnic in New-
market, Provincial Secretary Hanna
said -"So long as the sentiment of the
people wants the liquor traffic legal-
ized so long will it be legal -when
those engaged in it keep within the
law. But the moment they step out-
side the law by selling after hours or
otherwise violating the law, that
moment they set the ,people at defi-
ance and lose their right to the pro-
tection that the law affords." Mr.
Hanna expressed the opinion that the
present law was in keeping with the
sentiment of the province, and it
would be futile to legislate in advance
of that sentilnent. It was in the in-
terests both of the temperance people
and license holders to co-operate with
the department in the enforcement of
the act. To set the laws at defiance
was but to bring the vengeance of the
people down upon those in the trade.
A`A
-The Ontario Government has
adopted a progressive policy in con-
nection with the Temiskaming Nor-
thern Railway that will enable the
commission to build up a substantial
reserve fund. The Government have
handed over to the commission the
town sites along the railway, and the
commissioners have now placed upon
the market valuable properties in
Latchford and Temagami. The town
of Osborne has not yet been opened
up but will soon be. In Cobalt, where
there is a flurry of excitement owing
to the discovery of rich mineral de-
posits, there are a number of matters
that have yet to be arranged, between
the Government and the commission.
The Railway Commission is also given
power over the minerals. Mr. Smith,
Consulting Engineer of the Railway,
states that the roadbed abounds with
minerals, especially around Cobalt.
It has not yet been decided what will
be done with the mineral claims, but
Mr. Smith states that in disposing of
these claims the commission will re-
serve a proprietory interest in thele,
so that the province will receive some
benefit from the abundance of mineral
wealth.
A
-The Dominion Government has
appropriated $15,000 for making ex-
periments with the electric process of
smelting ores and manufacturing steel
at Sault Ste, Marie, and the Consoli-
dated Lake Superior Power Co. will
furnish a building and dynamo capa-
ble of supplying 400 electric horse-
power for four months free of charge.
All kinds of ores will be experimented
with, and important results are ex-
pected to be obtained. It can easily
be seen what enormous possibilities
for Canada underlie the inauguration
of a cheaper process for manufactur-
ing pig iron and steel than is now in
use. s Ontario is
dotted with extensive
ore bodies, the development of which
is at present prevented by lack of
cheap fuel. There is coal in abund-
ance in the eastern and western parts
of Canada, but the cost of conveying
it to points where coke is needed for
smelting purposes is prohibitive. On
the other hand, there are a great
many waterpowers throughout the
Province of Ontario where electricity
can be developed and utilized. I£ the
electric system proves to he commer-
cially feasible, we may look for the
inflow of a large amount of capital
and considerable mining development.
