INCREASE THE SUBSIDIIZS-

A correspondent whose letter ap-

pears in another column calls for an increase in the per capita subsidy paid by the central government to the several provinces. As is well known this subsidy was first arranged at the rate of 80 cents per head of the population of Ontario and Quebec as it was then, and in the case of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick the subsidy was to be SO cents per head on their population as it then was, but to be paid also on their increased population up to 400.000 in each pro- vince. Diiring the past two decades the growth of population in the east ern .section of Canada has been so slow that the maritime provinces have received very little advantage from this conditional increase.

As our correspondent points out a

per capita subsidy is much more to the advantage of a populous province than of one with but small population. Two millions of people in a province can administer their alfairs at aless cost per head than one hundred thou- sand in another province. Hence the ratio of distribution as between prov- inces was in the first place unfair to the smaller provinces. The latter have all bee - unable to live within their incomes and have gone -into debt, in consequence, while Ontario has been able to avoid incurring a provincial debt. Quebec could doubtless have done the same but for the reckless extravagance with which successive governments have adminis- tered her affairs.

Some years ago during the Mercier

regime in Quebec a conference of the Premiers of the several provinces was held at Quebec city at which resolu- tions were adopted calling for an in- crease of the federal subsidies, much along the lines which our correspon- den! suggests. In support of this claim it was set forth that when 80 cents per capita was fixed as a fair basis for subsidies to the provinces, the rate of federal taxation was very low, and the revenue of the central

_government was small. As a matter

of fact the federal revenue in the first year after confederation was between thirteen and fourteen millions of dol- lars. Last year the federal revenue was $40 555.238, or three times as great as it was 30 years ago. The customs and excise revenues-in other words the federal taxes- then were but $11,7 00,681 ; last year these taxes totalled $29,576,455.

The unlimited taxing power of the

federal government has thus been exercised to give the Dominion au- thorities three times as much money

to spend as they had in 1868, while

the provinces have been practically

I nearly all the .delegates then assem-

bled were well-known Liberals it was confidently ex|octed that when the part-_v attained power at Otta- wa this matter would be taken up and dealt with. So far nothing has been done- about it, but the financial straits of several of the provinces are likely to bring the matter to the front again unless relief is afforded in another way-as by, allotiing the fishery award to the eastern provinces, or by the latter recovering sundry old claims.

.Ono For the Turk.

One of the stories that drifted out of lhe plaisance is of the. mosque where pray- ers were said daily at regular intervals for the natives. A pious woman passing accosted a young Oriental and chatted with him, linisuing with a nod toward his prayer house and the remark. ‘I hope you go to church every Sunday, like a Christian.” ~°No,” was the quick reply, “I go every day, like a Turk”- wuicn must score one for the heathen.- N ew York Times.

, A SEA OF FLAME.

On the evening of November, 28th, 1878,

a fire broke out in the British ship Melanie, loaded with 500 barrels of petroleum. An awful mass of Eames shot up from the main hatch and the vessel quivered from stem to stern with explosion of the barrels. Her seams opened and the blazing etroleum poured out into the river, spreading a belt of fire around her. The master and seamen jumped overboard. Captain Sha , whose vessel was lying close-by, propelldg a small boat through the blazing river and after a severe scorching and imminent peril, saved the seamen from a horrible death.

All over civilization there are thousands

of men in more imminent danger than were those seamen. They are threatened with consumption or are already in the clutch of that deadly disease. If they only knew i-t, help is at hand. Dr. Piefce’s Golden Med- ical Discovery cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption. It also cures bronchitis, asthma, throat and nasal troubles and all diseases of the air passages. It is the great blood-maker, Hesh-builder, and nerve-tonic. It makes the appetite hearty, the digestion perfect and the liver active. The “ Golden Medical Discovery” is the product of that eminent specialist, Dr. R. V. Pierce, who, during the thirty years that he has been chief consulting physician to the great Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at BuB_`alo, has treated more cases than fifty ordinary physicians treat in a lifetime.

` Thousands °ven u b d ct h

gi p y o ors, ave tes-

, tiiied to complete recovery under this mar- velous medicine.

Constipation causes and aggfavates many

serious diseases. It is speedily cured by Dr. Pierce?s Pleasant Pellets.
