and to the relief afforded by the recent amendments to the land acts.

The government supported the bill, and Mr. Morley, tne Irish secretary, showed that statistics proved that outrages were in- frequent and conviction almost certain; that Ireland was not only less marked by crime than other portions of the united kingdom, but that the juries are more ready to do their duty than formerly. 0! course the mvernment submit that this is owing to confidence in the sympathetic government at present ruling, to the hope thit'home rule will not be long deterred, 1 In spite of the fact that Canadian apol- ogists for the policy of restriction bor- rowed from the States picture the condition of the British masses as wretched and hopeless, in the four years 18904, during which we have been adding new tax burdens and increasing our national debt, while thousands have found it hard to earn a living, Britain has paid her way, added greatly to her fleet and army, extended her trade, and her peoples savingsbank account has increased over $77,500,000. Britain is all right. Her peo 1e know enough not to value debt as a bessing and high taxes as a cure for hard times. Hamilton Times: According to the report of the minister of the interior, the number of homesteads entered in the whole Dominion North-west in the year 1894 was 3,174, the number of settlers being 9,716, adecrease of 716 homesteads and 2,151 settlers from the figures of the preceeding year. And of these homesteads 816 were taken by Canadians and 471 by persons having previous entries. Those people who talk about the “thousands who are rushing into the North-west’ ought to help to get the N. P. bars removed and give the settlers a chance. The governmcm: supporters erroneously point to accumulated savings in the post office banks as a sign of great national prosperity. The withdrawals during the month of of April exceeded the deposits by some 8155 000. It may be asked what, according to tory rule of interpretation. this would indicate. Deficit,_.._,...... ...... ..............$5.~i9‘.’,012 Here we have a deficit of five and a haif millions disclosed on the figures as they stand, but we fear the deficit will exceed six millions. Last month there was an increase of revenue from customs of $130,000 as compared with April 1894, and an increase of $232,000 in the rev- enue from excise as compared with April of last year. This increase was not due to any revival in business, but to the payment of the duty on liquors, cigars, etc.. induced by the fear that the tariff on these articles would be' increased. It is probable that there Will be a decline in the revenue for May and June as compared with last year, now that the extent of the new taxation is known. The statement of revenue and expen- diture published in the Canada Gazette of Saturday last, covering the financial transactions of the government for the 10 months ending the 30th April. does not justify the hope expressed by Mr. Foster in his budget speech that the deficit would be kept down to $4,500,000. The revenue collected for the 10 months was $27,549,599, against $30,288,384 for the same months of the previous year, a decline of $2,838,785. If the same ratio is preserved for the next two months the revenue for the current fiscal year will be $32,939,508, against $36,574,693. The expenditure for the ten months of the current fiscal year up to the 30th April was 526,22 .793, against $25,â€" ‘ 515,380 tor the same period of last year. At this rate” for the next two months the expenditure for the year would be $846,495 greater than it was last year, or $38,431,520 altogether. These figures would give the following result :â€" Expenditure ...................... . ...... $38,431. 520 Revenue.................-...... ........,... 32,939,508 CANADA'S FINANCIAL POSI- TION.

[To the Editor of the P051] Simâ€"About seventeen years ago a side- walk was built from the town of Lindsay to the Riverside cemetery. The money was raised by private subscription. Last year when a new sidewalk was needed the directors of the cemetery company applied to the councils of Lindsay and Ops for assistance. The matter was left over until the new councils were elected. since which the Lindsay council refused to give anything. The Ops council has new noti- fied the president of the cemetery com- pany that unless the directors give a bond of indemnity against dam they will apply to the courts for an junction to have the sidewalk removed. That is what I call ‘nussednessfâ€"Ycurs. _ 1‘. F. Gault, of Montreal, one of the co' - «:1 kings of Canada, has just presented 81L. :)0 towards the erection of a church coll‘ge in Montreal. The men who seem to be giving away most money in this country are the cotton kings and agricul- tural implement makers. The money they make comes out of the pockets of our pecule, and in these hard times had better be left there. The worst feature of the case is that while these wealthy cotton and implement men are giving away dollars b the ten thousand or hundred thousan , they have been steadily cutting down the wages of their employees. Mr. Gault was one of the combination that bought and closed up several mills throughout the country, besides reducing the wages of the employees in the mills that were left running. The high tarifl’ prevents com- petition from the United States ; the absence of competition gives the Canadian syndicate a monopoly, and having a monopoly it can charge what it pleases for its products and pay what it pleases to its employees. The remedy for all this is the lowering of the tarifl’. Ottawa Free Press : The patent-combi- nation organ was gorgeous, on Saturday, with a colored supplement representing the “old flag " and its columns, of course, were gushing over in praise of the sixteen year “old policy.” What strange changes and transformations the whiligig of time bring about. The “truly loil" cry of to- day, on the part of the paper in question, is in strange contrast with its statement made not so very long ago that if it was said the National Policy was bad for the relations of the mother-land and Canada “so much the worse for British connec- tion.” And in still stronger contrast with the incident described in the book on Sir John Macdonald by M. F. Glen, ex-M. 13.. now in the press, to the efl'ect that the executive of the Mail-Empire recently spent several days in New York making the attempt to obtain subsidies to make the paper the advocate of annexation. Tories are ca able of doing strange things at times. onsistency and honor were never part of their political programme and creed. Ottawa Free Press: Some of the accounts which pass under the notice of the auditor general are very funny. Here is one sent in on account of a public employee : “One pair of boots, 7.50: 1 pair of trousers. ‘ $3.20; l‘pair of trousers, $4;1 portmanteau, r324.” The auditor general not unreason- ably remarks that these charges “appear of a personal nature, and should notbe allowed as a charge against public money. Please explain.” The explanation is not published. This is something like another modest item “cab to and from church, Montreal (mm) 8100. To which Mr. Mc- Dougall coldly responds “cab hire to church is nota charge against public funds." It was once said in the mother country. “Thank God we have a house of lords" This country may well say .“Thank God we have an auditor general.” An ex- amination of his report, no light matter. shows how much petty “financing” on the part of those who think it no crime to defraud the government is kept in check. Dundas Banner: Whenever the men in ofllce at Ottawa take off the duty on any article they say that they thereby remove taxation from the shoulders of the people. Whenever they put the duty on again they say that it does not matter, as the neople of other countries will have to pay it on the goods they send to Canada. An arrange- ment of this kind is a great convenience, and it is a wonder that it has not been patented. Like the Irishman's leg, it works both ways.
