A SPRING MESSAGE.
To All Who are Weak, Easily Tired
and Out of Sorts,
Spring should be the most joyous sea -
bon of the year. It is the harbiuger of
ennshiue, and birds and flowers; It
breathes of freedom and out-of-door lite
But unfortunately there are thousand&,

Mr. John Burke, of Elmsdnle, P. E. L,
who says: -"I was left an almost hope-
less wreck by an attack of pneumouia,
my nerves were almost paralyzed and

doctor I found I was not regaining inv

Williams' Piuks Pills, and I have
reason to be thankful I took her advice,
for under this treatment my system has
been built up and I am again well and
strong."

The growth of the total number of let-
ters posted will be generally admitted to
be a fair indication of the progress of the
general development of the country.
The report of the Postmaster -General
just issued shows that 253,791,060 letters
were posted in Canada last year. It is
interesting to compare this with the!
total for lees, 116 028,000 aid the total for
1878, whir:h was 44.000,000. The increase HURON'S HOTELS AND LICENSE

119,763,000.

ignores that feature, and devotes its
urithturtiu to ouly one side of the ques-
tion This is the view of the case Mr.
Holmes, held, when in acl'dressiug the
people of Wingham, he said:
"If that statement is true, the government
must have ince eased the taxation somewhere.

FEES.
For the license year of 1902.8, East,
South and West Huron had 16, 33 and 29
yearly licenses issued respectively. The
first also had one beer and wine, the
second cue ordinary six months' license.
West Huron had one tavern license, a
decrease of one from previous years. It
has two shop licenses, one is Clinton and
the other in Goderich. East Huron had
four licenses transferred, South Huron•
teu, West Huron eight. The total
licenses issued for the year were 21, 48
and 40 respectively. Amount received
by the province from all sources was
$790.33 from. East Huron. $2,333.03 from
South Huron, and $2410 from West Hur-
Grand total, 1,125 officers and 19,596 non- on. In 1875 the couuty bad 164 tavern

There is still a lot of speculation re-
garding the temperance legislation of
this session, and guesses that there will
and that there will not be any such
legislation are heardwith about equal fre-
quency. The Toronto Star learued in
Ministerial circles that it is not improb-
able that after Easter recess every strict
bill to amend the License Act will be sub-
mitted to the Legislature. In general its
provisions will be along the following
lines:
1. Increased license fees.
2. Rsduotion in the number of licenses.
3. Much more severe penalties.
Several important clauses along other
lines will be incorporated, and all of the
license laws will be consolidated.
Winter's Sway.
The following poem, which appeared
in the Toronto Globe, hits off the condi-
tion of affairs here during the past win-
ter, that we think it worthy of reproduc-
tion :-
Breathes there a man who ever saw
.A. winter pass without a thaw;
Who saw it blow and snow and storm,
And thought it never would get waren?
If suck there breathe, go ask hien how
He thinks that time compares with now.
Lo the thermometer, high the snow,
Piled tip as high as drifts cau blow,
Despite the fact that we have seen
It stated that there's never been
Such cold as this, perhaps this man Wingham

largely increased revenue? What
would be thought of the manager of a
manufacturing businees or a departmeu•
tal store, who would refuse to increase
his expenditure so .that his firm should
get the greatest benefit and largest re -
tern? The Advanoe isbehind the times;
a Moro progressive and broader minded
man is wanted to guide it in a truly pa-
triotic and Canadian sense.
In conclusion we may say that the efe
fort of the Advance to auswer the ques-
tion put by Mr, Holmes, regardiug the
question of increased taxation would
discredit a sohool boy. Mr. Holmes ask,
ed this question:
' Will any one tell me ]low much Oustoms
taxation has increased under Liberal ruler
The reply of the sapient editor of the
Advanoe is that the receipts of the ons.
toms houses of Canada have inereased
from $20,000,000 to. $37,110,354, as be-
tween 1896 aid 1902. Bat the increase
has not beau brought about because the
Liberals have increased the customs tax-
ation, which they have not done. The
contrary has been the result. The cus-
toms taxes have been reduced from a
percentage of 20 06 in 1896, upon the to-
tal value of goods entered for consume -
tion iu Canada, as against 15.99 in 1902
-a decrease of 4.07 per cent.' And yet
the wise man of Wingham claims that
the rate has been increased and points
with pride to the increased volume of
trade in evidence of hie contention. Ot
course there has been an increase in the
imports of Canada, and the people have
not been slow to take advantage of the
better fiscal conditions that now exist.
The country has beeu more than ordin-
arily prusperous since 1896, under Lib-
eral rule, and we are able to buy and
pay for more foreign goods under the re-
faced Liberal tariff of 1897. So long as
a Liberal government controls Canada's
fiscal policy, just so long will the trade
and cnmmeree of the Dominion be iu the
prosperous condition it is to -day, and
we wilt be able to spend trillions to de•
velop the resources of the country, so
that tens of millions will return to the
public treasury.
When the snit'," nf the Ad wince was
studying the Yenr B 'ok, with the no
doubt laudable intention Of giving en
honest statement of the facts as he saw
them, he knew, that if he made a com•
parison of the revenue per head, rnd
of the expenditure per head. for the
years 1896 and 1002, the showing wnuld
GP very materially in favor of the Lib•
eral government: and he therefore em-
asculated the data contained in the re-
port, by omitting the figures which
told in favor of the present govern-
ment. The editor of the Advance may
regard this as anhonest proceeding,
but. fortunately. very few win nar•ee
with him. We submit both sets of fig-
ures, and challenge env one to deny
their nr•cnracv-for six years preceding
the defeat of the Conservative govern-
ment. and six years following the ad-
vent of the Liberal administration -so
that our readers may the more readily
see the Reception of which the Advance
was guilty. Following are the figures
under the Conservative rule:
Revenue Expenditure
per head per head
1891...... $7 95 87 54
3892 7 55 7 52
1893.., 7 73 7 46
1594.... 7 22 7 54
1895 6 75 7 58
1896 7 20 7 20
It will be observed that in the year 1891
the revenue per head exceeded the ex-
penditure by 46 rents: in 1892 by three
cents; and in 1893'by 27 cents; whereas
in 1894, expenditure exceeded revenue
by 28 cents per 'head: in 1895 by 83
cents; and itt the year 1896 by 6 cents.
The foregoing figures represent
a deficit of $1,948,474 daring the last

to the mail order concerns in the large
cities is that much less money in the rural

country poorer every time a cash order

The rural retail merchant wants this
money to stay in his home community.
It's needed there, His community can't

Does anyone. ,in the country or the

he sends to the 'batalogne house? Not
a cent of it. It's gone like the day
that is dead. It can't be recalied, and
the catalogue house proprietor will never
send it back as a gift. He's not built on
that plan.

Southampton, March 21. - Tha
American Line steamship New York,
Capt. Young, from New York, March
12, for Plymouth, Cherbourg and
Southampton, met with two mis-
haps yesterday, grounding oil Cape
La Iiague, France, in the early
morning, and later coming into col-
lision in the English Channel with
the Peninsular and Oriental steam-
ship Assayo, under contract to the
British Government, and used as a
troopship. The Assayo was bound
for Bombay with 500 troops.
The New York grounded while ap-
proaching Cherbourg at 2.30 o'clock
yesterday morning during a fog. The
sea was smooth and the tido rising,
and an hour and a half after she
grounded the vessel was floated with-
out assistance. Her bottom was
damaged and there was water in the
hold, but she was able to proceed.
During the voyage up the channel a
dense fog descended. When off Hurst
Castle, England, the Assaye sudden-
denly appeared, and it was found
impossible to avoid a collision. The
New York's bow crashed into the
Assayc's starboard bow, tearing a
great gap in that vessel. The New
York's bowsprit and figurehead were
carried away and the latter was
smashed (into fragments. 'There was
.great excitement, but no panic on
either vessel. The boats of the As-
saye were lowered and the troops
were mustered, but the bulkhead of
the troopship saved her.
Both vessels were able to enter
Southampton, and the New York
was docked at 4.30 o'clock for tem-
porary repairs. Nobody was injured.
It will be impossible to estimate the
damage to the New York until she
has been put into dry dock. It is
believed that both vessels have been
rather seriously injured. Another
troopship will replace the Assaye.
When the Ncw York grounded at
Cape Le Hague, the passengers who
were asleep hardly feltthe shock.
James Sellers, a passenger, says
that 1.30 o'clock yesterday after-
noon, while he was at luncheon,
there was a grating noise followed
by a tremendous shock. Everyone,
he says, ran to, the deck, and it was
found that the New York's bow was
firmly fixed in the side of the As-
says., Mr. Sellers was close enough
to observe the marvelous discipline
aboard the troopship. Not a second
was lost, and there was no sign of
hurry, and while the boats were
being prepared for launching the
soldiers were mustered with the pre-
cision of an ordinary drill.
"As the vessels parted," concluded
Mr. Sellers, "we saw a gaping hole
in the Assays 100 feet wide and
sticking on our stein was a port-
manreau and other portable pro-
perty. There was no panic on our
boat. Had we struck the Assaye
amidships she would have sunk."
All Hope Abandoned.
Portsmouth, March 21.—Any hope
