The Financial Situation.

Sir, —In aply to James T. Pound's last letter in the Patriot, I may say that I will not follow the example he has set and call! him any names or make any unco mpliment- ary remarks about his production. | might, perhaps, with reason, characterize

his letter as childish, meaningless, absurd, and in some pai alars untrue, but will forbear, contenting myself simply with

proving it.

In my last letter T stated that ** it is not a matter of very great public importance what I ‘style’ ny self or what Mr. Pound thinks about it.” "To this Mr. Pound’ “replies by saying: ‘‘] think it is a matter of very great importance, and would that all young men thought about it as I do.” What in the name of all that’s sensible does Mr. Pound mean by this? He states that he has proved that the public debt of 1878 was $100,069,000. The official accourts of that year place it at $174,957 ,268. Then Mr. Pound goes on to say that ‘‘in the last two years of the Mackenzie regime the receipts were $44,454,285, and the last two of the present Government $66,108,420, showing that the present Government have received from Customs alone in two years $21,67 4,- 135 more than the Liberal Adwinistration.’ He takes the total revenue, includins cus- Itoms, excise, receipts from railways, canals, the post office and public lands, and con- founds it with one item of the revenue. Here is a young man professing to be a shining light who does not understand the difference between the total revenue and

the custums, and would, forsooth, have all young men think =: he does. Then

Mr. Pound wants to know “what would have been the position of Canada had it remained under the Liberal Administra- tion?” I give it up. It increased the debt in five years by $41,000,000, but how much it would have increased it during the last eight years, with the Canada Pacific Rail- way to build, isa mighty hard matter to conjecture. I would like for Mr. Pound or some other enterprising Grit who would be more likely to know to tell us what Mac- kenzie, Cartwright and Blake did with all the money they spent. Mr. Pound has a lot of fault to tind with me fer muddling figures. I made the statement plain and simple on purpose that he might under- stand it, and if he has not done so I am sorry. After he finishes his Collegiate course he may be more successful. He says | made a mistake of $6,000,000 in the inter- est on the public debt. This was so mani- festly a typographical error that even had

it not been corrected in the same _ issue. It was easy to see what was meant. About the census figures, I may say for Mr.

Pound’s information that the Department of Agriculture issue a blue book in’ which

the population is estimated for each year. I got the figures out of this book—the only

available authority. If Mr. Pound has any fault to find with them, I suppose he can have them fixed by writing to the of- ficials in that Department. Mr. Pound closes his unique epistle by ‘making the very disappointing announcement that he is about “‘to resume a collegiate course of some months, ana may not be able to notice “ny more letters for the present.” However, all things considered, I think it a very good idea of Mr. Pound’s. He says though that he ** Will take great pleasure in meeting himinthe nearfutureeitherverb- ally or in writing.” I don’t exactly know what Mr. Pound means by this. If it be to discuss politics, [ have only to say that i

would rather be excused. Any one who has ever heard Mr. Pound talk, or read his last letter in the Patriot will understand

the reason why. Yours truly, J. Herer Hasan. Springfield, Jan. 14th, 1887.

The New Glasgow School.

Sir,—In the columns of Saturday's Patriot there appeared an article purport- ing to be written by an old pupil of New Glasgow School In this article the writer extols the merits and abilities of the Prin-

ting a Grecian sophist. He, with all the pride of an ambitious mind, endeavors to show what we can prove to be almost an entire fabrication. To show that Mr. Me- Donald, the Principal, possesses great edu tional abilities, he refers us to some eminent scholars and divines who, | believe, attend ed that institution long before Mr. Me- Donald became an educational magnet. This, we should say, is a very indiscrimi- nate proof of the present Principal’s effi- ciency as a teacher. He refrains from mentioning any scholars of note who have gone forth from that school within the last ten years, and moreover, if do so, would fail most wretchedly, Among the na schol; rs mentioned appears that of David Laird, who, judging from his Views, has been tutored gj by some such Gritas Mr. Mc Donald.

We merely make these few remarks in order tv prevent any misund

as teacher, there has been quite adispate as to

whether it would be pradent to re-engige her laimed that she eo i

teacher. Accordingly at the the trustees had an agreement drawn up to the effect that si 1e should not keep company during the coming year with any you lg men during school hours, as her undivide d time should be devoted to the schoe!. Upon her reiusing to sign this agreement it was decided to leave it to a of the meeting as to whether she should be compelled to sign it or not.

Oi + <> - <ee Care of the Hands.

With cool weather comes the liability to chapped hands, and the discomfort of these is more trying than their unsightliness. With care, the hands may be kept smooth even by those who handle the dishcloth. For cleansing the hands use vatmeal instead of soap, or a little ammonia or borax in the water they are washed in. Be careful to

\dry them thoroughly every time they are washed, and then apply a little vaseline or cold cream, wiping the hands after the ap

plication. Oxalic acid, in a weak solution, will remove stains, or what is better, a bit of lemon, for oxalic acid is poison and must not be permitted to touch an abraded part of the skin. At night rub oatmeal over tha hands and wear a pair of kid gloves a size or two large. This is especially for those who, after their arpa is dune,sit down to the pi anv, or occupy themselves with fine sewing or silk embroidery. —— as a og

The Tobaeco Consumption.

The quantity of smcking and chewing tobacco consumed annually in the United States averages three and a half pounds

per head for every adult. The number of cigars upon which tax was paid during the year ended June 30, 1886, was 3,510,898,- 588, which is equal] to fifty-eight and one- half cigars to every persou in the country, placing the population at 60,000,000. These cigars, a statistician has calculated, would reach around the earth nine times if extended in a single line. The cigarettes upon which tax was paid in the same time numbered 1,310,961,350. The duty on imported cigars and tobacco for the year added to the tax raised on the domestic 300,218,476 The ap-
