The Sydney Daily Post. is rendering

good Service to the cause of the Ma- ritime. Provinces by directing atten- tion to the gross inequalities in the federal subsidies allotted to the east- ern and western Provinces and in strongly asserting our rights to share in the public lands ol the Northwest. The Post's latest article that has reached us deals with the subsidy question. lt points out that thc Quebec Conference of 1865, set- tied the financial basis on which the Dominion was formed and it was then and there agreed that the sub- sidies to be paid to the provincial Governments would have to be made large enough to obviate the need of direct taxation within the Provinces. If HHS l>l”iI1CiDlc hadvnot been accept- ed by the Conference the Maritime cicleiratcs would have withdrawn.

Tile subsidies as at first arranged

\\'l‘l'0 wholly inadequate to serve the purpose, so far us the Maritime Pro- vinci.-s were concerned, and had to be readjusted and increased some years ago. In that readjustment the big Provinces of Ontario and Quebec got the lion's share by un extension 0| their pcr capita allowance of 80 cents per head of population, as it had been in the case of those Pro- vinces limited to their population nc- cordiug to the census of 1861. It was extended to apply to their actu- nl population as found or ascertained

at each succeeding census.

Then, when the new Provinces of

:-laskatchewan and Alberta were cre-

ated in 1905, the representatives oi those Provinces, having refused to ac- ccpt a provincial status unless they were allowed a much larger subsidy than had been before given, they were conceded subsidies which doubled and trcbleii those hciorc granted to old Provinces of like or greater popula- tion. Here, for instance, were the subsidies pnid by the Dominion to the several Provinces in 1907:- 3

THE NEEDED READJUSTMENT OF PROVINCIAL BUBBIDIES. `

British Coiumbia.;_... 807,076.66 Prince Edward Island_..... 211,931.81 'Alberta .... ._ 1,124,125.0i Ssskatchewan...... . 1,130,535.4f

T0tal...... ......$6,745,133.65

Note the amounts allotted to Baa-

katchewan and Alberta. Their united population according to the census taken last spring was 826,427, as against 907.535 in the three Mari time Provinces. »Yet the two nel Provinces on the prairie receive $2, 254,460 in subsidies from the Dornin ion while the three Provinces by thi sea together receive in subsidy but $1,136,097. With rr. larger populatior than theirs, we get practically but

half as much subsidy. _'_ . The Post goes on to shzw that

while the federal subsidy was intend ed to defray all the expenditures o the Provinces. Nova Scotia is nov expending yearly 3 million dollars f year over and above what is received from Ottawa and has incurred apro vincial debt that has already passed the $10,000,000 mark. It adds:

“The case of Prince Edward Igiiing

's worse than ours, and at first blush seems almost desperate. That Pro vince has no minerals_a.nd hence nr royalties to fall back upon, 1; has no stumpage revenue as New Bruns wick has, to supplement its Dominion subsidy. Its quit rents from crowr lands are negligibly small, and wil' soon cease to exist, and its crowr land omce will be closed. It has `herefore, to depend almost exclu siveiy on the annual subsidy fron Ottawa. And so absurdly inadequatr is this, that we are told, for the last L5 or 20 years, the Island Govern ment has annually issued debentures to meet the regularly recurring deli :its on current expenditure account in this way it has added almost $1, 100,000 to its liabilities since .l891l it must be evident to everyone that the end of that kind of public ilnan

‘ing is not far to seek." And now it is promised to tha irairie Provinces that they shall br given the public lands within their inlarged borders and also that Mani *obs shall have her cash subsidy in creased to B par with the subsidies 0' Alberta and Saskatchewan. If a' such a crisis and in thc face of such

;ross inequality of treatment the re oresentatives and Governments of th Vlaritime Pro_vincés__rlo not protest nirllassertluour claims to u share ir the proceeds of the Northwest lands ind to incr`eased subsidies, they wil' iescrve to be pitchforked into thi

\tlautic ocean. In this connection wc are please( 'o notice that among others Mr. Me Lean, M..I’. for Queen's County, har :poken out on the subject ofthe pub ic lands and our claims thereto. Thr :use is plain that thc policy lrithcrtc has been to pave the West with golr it the cost of the East. The tim( ras now' surely come for the East tc assert itself in such fashion as wilf halleuge the attention and respeci >f the Borden Government. ,

ELECTIONS AND PROHIBITION.

The coming of a general election af- ‘ords a timely hint to the friends o irohihition throughout the Province to take care. that good men sri >laced in nomination who will give their support to thc law and its cn- Torcement hereafter. Very fortunate ly, as we think, both political part ics united to ,frainc the law in the first place and have sinec aided in improving and perfecting it. But in in election contest the parties are naturally more concerned to elect supporters of the party than in rc~ gnrd to any other matter. It there- fore becomes the especial duty of the orohibitionists in both parties to see that the good cause they have so much at heart shall be strongly sup- ported in the new House and on both sides of the House.

Although many of the candidates

are already in the field, or are other- wise indicated ns likely to be there, the three weeks to come before the official nominations are to take place will afford time for the tempcrunce people to take counsel together with B view to see that the Very import- ant possible moral issues of the cum- psign nre not lost sight of. A word to the wise is sufficient.

NOTES.

says The Canadian Courier:-'i'l`\1e

Maritime Provinces will never get what they want until they produce a man who will go out 'and nsk for it. and who wui break down somebodfs door at Ottawa if he _doesn't. get it." Is the' man in sight?

It is cnsy to be wise after the

event. Many persons are now saying that Liberal prospects would have been much better in this Province had the general election been

'brought on last spring, when the

party was in power' at Ottawa. Even had the two byc.alcctiona been held last spring, as they ought to have been, the crushing defeat that has been since sustained in Belfast and

RIIEUMATISM

AND SPRAINS

Zum-Bulr is a Cure!

When you have a sprain or feel

the saching, gnawing Dain of rheu- natism or the acute agony of lum- Jago, rub Zum-Brlk well ln. Mrs. Frances Wyatt, of 25 Guy Avenue, Montreal, says: “I have found Zam-Buk most soothing and raluable for rheumntism and stiffness if joints und muscles. I suffered long and acutely from rheumstism and :rled one liniment after another in vain. I also took medicines internal- y, but it remained for Zam-Bull to :fleet a cure. It seemed to penetrate ;o the very seat of the pains, driving them completely out, and I am now :ured." I

Zum-Buk is also a sure cure for alles, ulcers, cold sores, chapped lands, cuts; burns. scalds, scalp sores, babies' rashes, and all skin njuries ami diseases. All druggists and stores, 50c, box, or Zam-Buk’ Jo., Toronto, for price. Refuse sub- atitntes. -

THE TEMPERANCE ALLIANCE

The Provincial Temperance Alliance if P. E. I. will meet in the Y.M.C.A. it 11 o'ciock, on Monday Dec. -11 zo decide on the proposed amend- nents to the prohibition act, for its letter enforcement, and also to ds :ide on the host course to pursue in /few of the general election to beheld on Jan. 3rd. All churches and tcm- ierance societies 'are requested to send delegates, and all clergyman,- temperance men and women are in- fited f, -to he present. I nust appeal to the clergy- nen, and the temperance societies, as veil as all temperance men and vomen to act at once, as the time is abort, I believe in the strong temper-V, ince sentiment of the people of this‘

:arnest it will he necessary for the hurches and the teniperance societies to meet, no well as the temperance nen, and we do not forget the ladies, vho have been ardent advocates 'of _he temperance cause, and on whom ve depend a great deal for our suc- :ess in the temperance tight, to meet -it once and organize, and canvas the iistrict in favor of the nominee for Parliament, (no matter to what :arty he belongs) that will support he Prohibition Law, its enforcement ind needed amendments ss_lsid down by the Alliance.

Amendments. I presume they will ie along the line of those adopted by -:he Prince County Alliance, and which che Provincial Alliance has already gronouuced upon, Nnmoly. 1. The enforcement of the Prohibi-

‘Jition Act by nn independent Com- mission of three members.

2. To remove all alcoholic liquors

from, the drug-stores except pure al- cohol. - ,

3. To make it illegal to treat on li8hW0YB. and in public places. I want to state my views in regard to these amendments :_ First, the Commission clause. This is intend-. id to take tcmperance out of politics. which will be moat desirable, as party had been the curse of the cn- forcemcnt of tha Prohibition Law. I’hls Commission to be composed of ;hrce responsible persons, such as the 1-'resident of the Provincial Temper- ance Alliance, ri clergyman, and a member of the Legislature. This Jommlssion to have full charge of the enforcement. of the Prohibition Act. To have power to appoint or dismiss all prosecutors and vendors and to have e. voice in regard to who will try the Prohibition cases, also audicient funds to be placed in their, hands for salaries, detective work and expenses. I believe it will cost tho Government very little more to run` it this way than it has cost them in | the past.

Secondly, the drugglst clause. The

druggists agree that pure alcohol is all that they need in the preparation of medicines. This clause 'will eli- minate the disgrace that has been at- tached to the honorable calling of the drugglst. Many of the drug- stores, as is well known, have been iiagrantly violating thé Prohibition* Act. and it seemed almost impossible to bring upon them the penalties of the Law.

Thirdly, The public drinking clause. This clause will stop the disgusting and pernicious evil which is apparent to all of treating and drinking in public places, and need only to be mentioned to have the public say it must be stopped.

The nbove are the main amend-

ments. There will also be some amendments in regard to doctors. I think the above amendments which will be brought before the Alliance next Monday for their consideration will appeal to all fair-minded men, that they are common sense and what is much needed at the present time.

Course to pursue. After the Alliance

meeting and their approval, I will acnd the amendments to each nominee for their acceptance or rejection, and it will be necessary to receive an- swers before the 18th, lnst. so as to make them public in the daily press, and that the tempcrance people may know who to support. Caution. Don't promise your vote

to any one until you see his reply in the press, in regard to his attitude to

the propoacdamendmants. These re-
