‘*The revenue of the Dominion from Cus toms for eleven months of the year just ende was $19,162,554. For the correspondin: eleven months of 1881, it was $16,205,752 The whole revenue for the eleven months 29. 684,196. When all retutns are in it is estimated that the revenue of the Dominion fw the year ending 30th June, 1882, wil be little, if any, less than $32,090.000. Thir gives a taxation of over seren d jlars a head on every man, woman and child in the Domin- ion; and what do they get in return for this heavy load of taxes ? — Patriot,
Tuts is a gross perversion of the truth. Admitting the receipts of the Dominion Governmeut to be $32,000,000, it is grossly unfair te ssy that the whole amount is the result of taxation, for it includes every dollar paid to the Government for the usé of its railways, its pest offices and public works. A man pays $1.50 for a passage by railway to Summerside—ihat is included in the amount; he goes to St. John, and a large proportion of his passage money is received by the Government; he sends a letter home to his wife and pays postage to the Government ; he proceeds to Quebec and pays $15 or 320 to the Intercolonia) Railway which is incladed in the receipts of the Government. Would it be right to add all these sums together and include the amount under the head of taxation of the country? Certainly not. They are simply sums paid for services rendered to a par- ticular individual; and the more of such sums such individuals pay the lighter will be the taxation of the people at large, be- cause the railways, post offices and puble works are maintained at the public ex pense. Yet this is just what the Patriot nas done. When, in the good times ts come, the sums received by the Govern ment from railways, post offices, canals, etc., have doubled, and when the Govern ment takes charge of the telegraphs of the country, and goes into the insurance buasi- ness, and its receipts are thus increased to hundreds of millions of dollars @ year, our taxation may be no heavier, perhaps it may be lighter, per head than it is at present.
The taxation proper borne by the people of Canada during the pasttwo years, was just ab ut $4.65 per head per year, as agarnst #4 88 when the Grits were in power ; for the average amount obtained by taxation during these years was $19,916,100.01.

CORRESPONDENCE,
We do not held ourselves responsible for the ypinions or statements of our correspondents,
The Laird Faction.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Sir,—The Lairds, as has been truly remarked by some of their own friends, are | s very grassping lot. They have shown this trait in their character very pro ninently at the late election. The whole ‘amily almost eutered the field ag Candida- res for Legislative hours, and they were, every one of them, defeated. Alexander Laird, leader of the so-called Liberal party in the Legistative Council, bid farewell to that ancient ard now almost obsolete body and appealed to the Electors of the Bcd :que District for a seat in the House of Assembly wnd was defeated by a large majority. William Laird, a younger brother, also an aspirant foc political honors, for the second ind third time faced the West River District, and was again defeated by a vajority of the clectors resident in the District. And last, though not least. the yreat ex-Governor of the North-West himself, condescended to offer his services for the representation of Queen's Comisty in the Dominion Parliament,’and the intelligent yeomanry of Queen’s in the most unmistakable manner possible, con vinced Mr. David Laird that he was not the man to whom they would ever again give their support. The consequence has been that the ex-Governor of the Laird factionS has been terribly beaten. The Lairds thus rejected by three of the largest and most intelligent constituencies in this Province, are now true to their grasping propensities, trying to get a seat for brother Wiliam, by a scrutiny whereby they hope to out number the majority of resident electors polled against him, by the speciai votes of land owners not residents of the District. This is the Liberalism of the so-called Liberal Parity of this Province. They want to foist a candidate on the elec tors by the outside help of land owners, against the voters who reside in the District, and yet they pretend to be liberals.
The Laird faction in their greed and grasping for politica) plunder will atick at nothing that they think will accomplish their own selfish purposes. Yours,
ELEector.

Sin,—It is gratifying to know that the Hail in connection with the ¥. M. C. Asso- ciation has been painted and renovated in a style which reflects great credit on those who have executed the work. I learn that the above Hall will be re-opened next San- day afternoon for divine worship. Now, Sir, an institution which has for its object the welfare of young men—an institution to which young men who may be entire strangers to this city are cordially invited, where they may spend any time they may have at their disposal in elevating and im- proving both body and soul—a refuge from the storms of life, where they are secure from the billows of sin and temptation, from gambling hoases, and other places of evil resori—certainly deserves the encour- agement and support of the public of Char lottetown. When an army of soldiers is organized, does it stand still? Are there none to jois the ranks? Of course there are, An army once organized does not endure for ever. Some die and with others their time expire, so there is a necessity for a constant addition of recruits. We never hear that there are too many men to fight only on the enemy's side. So if is with the Young Men’s Christian Association. We need to re- organize the army of the above institution. The members are continually leaving, some are removed by death, so that the force is weakened. Let one and all unite together in strengthening the ranks by becoming members of this noble institution, so that we may, in the strength of Christ, the Captain of our Salvation, overthrow the fortifications of the evil one, and plant upon it the flag which bears this inscription
The Rev. Canon Dart gave notice of a motion recommending strict safeguards against the admission of unfit persous into the ministry, and proposing that che Pro- vincial Synod should adopt uniform regu- lations, in this respect, throughout the ecclesiastical province.
His Lordship the Bishop proposed that a represntative from P. E. Island be added to the finance sub-committee of the diocese, and that no representative be allowed to
take his seat at the Synod until the assess- |
ment be paid.
The Ven. Archdeacon Read brought |
forward his motion regarding the status of
P. E. L., and of a proposed new bishopric. |

church.

nothing about it. He wanted to know | dishonest” assertions (clearly indicating the |
what ‘‘ list ’ the Archdeacon had seen which suggested P. E. Island as a new bishopric. What authorities proposed P. E. Island for a new bishopric.
As the Archdéacon could not say what authorities recommended P. E. Island, but that he had seen it in a Diocesan Calendar, the question was dropped.
The fist of annual offerings to the B. H M. from the various parishes of the diocese was read, showing the receipts for general purposes to be $4,781.97.
The Rev. G. W. Hodgson gave notice of motion as follows :
Resolved, —That if any parish invite, within the next year, the Synod to hold its next regular session in the parish, the executive committee have power to accept such invitation on behalf of the Synod.
The balloting for delegates to the Provin cial Synod was proceeded with. The resul: of the ballot was as follows :

To the Editor of the Examiner.
Str,—The YPatriet is very indignant because Mr. Austin C. McDonald has con- tested the seat for King’s County with Dr. Robertson. Our contemporary is in this case as wide of the mark as usual. Will he venture to deny that a majority of. the Klectors of the Second District of Queen's County elected Mr. McKay as their repre sentative in the Local Parliament? Why then does he not ofter his advice to his friend Mr. William Laird, and tell him to **M: nfally and honestly submit” to the decision of the people. With all the infin. ence of the Patriot and Laird faction com- bined, Mr. Wm. Laird was ‘‘ rejected by che people at the polls. And yet the Patriot clique are doing all they can to swamp the resident electors of West River by a few doubtful special votes polled by non-residents of that District. Is not this trying to ‘‘ win a seat by a pettifoging quibble” of the meanest kind.
