FINANCIAL

(Montrea! Gazette.)

The revised statement of the revenue and expenditure ot Canada for 1897-98 is out. It covers the second period of twelve months for which the Laurier Government is responsible. It shows the receipts from taxes to have been among the high- est in the history of Canada. It shows the expenditure for the ordinary admin‘s- trative services of the Government to have been the bighést in the record, and the total to have been.exceeded but onoesin the year 1885-86, when Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier’s adored friend, Riel, raived a rebel- lion on the Saskatchewan and necessitated the sending up of a military expeditioa to suppress him. And inthis excessive ex- penditure, and this greater taxation, in thi second year ot the Liberal Government, it is only fulfilling the promise of its first year, continuing in the path it entered on with willing feet, in the first day of its existence.

Thestatements show the expenditure last year and the “five preceding years to have been as follows :—

1877-98. . . .cccccceee. 38,699,823

Twice only in its record of eighteen years did the expenditure of the Jate Con servative Government exceed thintyoeight millions, and then it was to draw trom the leaders of the present Government expres- sions of hcrrorand prophesies that the country would speedily be ruined unless a change was msde, and the economical Liberal perty given contro] of sffairs. The Liberal party was given control cf vilairs, and it at once established the or- dinary expenditure on a bigher level than ithad ever reeched. It glaringly broke, not only the frequent pledges it nad made in Parliament and on the election Stump, bust aleo those it had put out as its

platform io the convention of 1893 at Ottawa. The eame broken faith is shownina

RETURNS. | DIRECTION OF PROGRESS.

Professor Robertson declares that the revenue and profits from farmers labours may be greatly increased :

{1.] By Jarger crops from the same amount of labour and area of land, through the use of selected varicties of seeds; fone variety of oats may yield ten bushels per acre more than another variety under e'milar circumstances.]

[2] By improvements in the methods of cultivation in the fields; {A crop of Ind.an corn under one method of cultivation may yie'd four tons of fodder peracre more than itwould yield under another method in tbe eame field during the same season. |

[2.] In conserving tbe fertility of the soil by growing euch crops as clover, peas, hor.e beaas and oihers which seem io gaiher plent food from the free nitrogen of Lue atmosphere; [the roots of the clover plant when ploughed up and under, and the manure from tLe other crops on which animals bave been fed,add much tothe ferulity of farms.)

[4] By meking one kind of live stock, suited to their taste, their farm and markets, the special stock of the farm with several Other kinds subordinate to it. [Cattle should bethe live stock on most farms, with swine, poultry, borses and sheep, of relative importance in the order named. On other farms each of the other kinds may be the special one. }

[5.] By the selection, breeding, feeding aod management of the various breeds of animals insuch away as tocbtain the largest value in product per head; [the profit making performance of each indivi- dual shon!d be watched as far as practic- able.]

(6.] By adding to the number and variety of preducts which they have to eel], and by having these for sale at the seasons of the year most advantageous for selling at comparatively good prices;

[7] By further improvements in the quality and condition of all they have to sel!; (In cereals, plumpness and cleanness add tothe value per bushel, andin all animal products,such 4 milk, butter, cheese, beef, pork, poultry, eggs, mution, lamb and wool, ihe best quality in the best condition will fetch about one hundred per

the Ottawaconvention viewed with alarm ihe undue taxation of the people under the Conservative Government. Here is the record of taxation revenue—customs and excise— for five years back :—

1GB7T-OB....cc0.00.. ss ecccccccse GISSOR208 SOOG-OT 05. cs serchorescersosecs | SRNR 1895-96....00006. 27,759,285 1894.95....s00000. seceseeee 25,446,199 eS es ay

The taxation levied onthe people lart year was almost a million higher th: n that of 1896-97, the first year of the Lau- rier Government, It was almost two millions higher than that of the last year of the Conservative Government. It was fully two millions higber than that of the year 1893 94, just previous to which the Liberal party bad promulgated, through its convention, its demand for economy, and a lessening of the public burdens.

The total revenue, including receipts from the operation of the Government rail, waye, the post office, public works, eté., was $40,275,704, compared with $37,809 - 348, in 1896-97, and $36,618,591 in 1895- 96 There were, as compared with 1896. 97, increase of $300,000 in the poet office receipts, and of an equal sum in the public works and railways returns, but a falling off of $90,000 in the miscellaneous receipts. Between the net increase of half a million thus shown, and the large customs and inland revenue receipts the Government was able to provide for the higher expenditure it incurred, and to have one and a half millionsover. This, under the system followedin Canada, iscalled a surplus. The word, however, is a miéno- mer, though supported by old usage. There was epent in twelve months of 1897- 89, in addition to the sum mentioned above, which only covered the regular running expensesof the Government, a further sum of $5,342,838, “oo capital ac- count,” as it it is called, that it is of bor roved money, It went for public works, care of Dominion land, railway subsidies aud military eupplies, the latter a legacy of President Cleveland’s Venezuela out- burst. It is represented, less the amount of the “surplus,” as sn addition to the net public debt, the increase in which, when they were in opposition, was also a sal-~ ject of worry and condemnation by the Liberal chiefs.

As a result of two years’ administration therefore, it is found that under Sir Wilfrid Leurier the weight of federal taxation has not been lessened, but increased; the expenditure has not been re- duced, but added to; the debt hase not been curtailed, but expanded. There has never been in Canada a Liberal Gov~ ernment, federal cr provincial, that has not increased the taxes, added to the expendi- ture, and augmented the debt. It seems safe to say, almost, that there never will

DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT.

What’s the good building fences. It would keep strange cattle out. I build a “trong fence half way round my farm and the te:nation beasts comein the back way ibe same ae ever. I don’t believe fences are any good. Ninety«nine out of a hun- dred would pronounce this farmera foo! ! and yet many of them put on the back those who uve this identical argument against probibition.

They cite the Maine Liquor Law (see Citizen’s letter.) Tis law prohibits the manufacture of liquors within tbe state. They do vot claim that manufacture is not as effectively shut off as the newly fenced portion of the man’s farm. It probibjis the open sale of liquors. It is not pretended that this feature is violated. The citizen of means is legally allowed to im~ port hquor and legally allowed todrink it and give it to his friends, and because he does this which the law allows him to do prohibition is at once pronounced a failure What logic! What nonsense to try and cram down the throats of sensible peo~ ple! Teil the farmer to continue the strong fence all around the farm and the cattle will be kept ou'; and tell the elector that we wanotto build the prohibition fence all around Canada and we are going ‘0 keep the liquor traffic out of the back door as well asthe front. We are go- ing to atop the manufacture, stop the sale, and, more important than all, stop the importation of everything thet intoxicates. A whole measure of prouibi- tion embracing these three important fea- tures has never yet been tried in apy country. Total prohibition never having been tried, cannot be provounced a failure. Murder is totally pronibited, yet murders are committed; but to what extent? Smuggling is prohibited, yet goode are smuggled; but to whatextent? Burglary is prohibited, yet bouses are broken open; but to what extent? So with prohibition of the liquor treffic. Viola- tious. will become the exception while a prosperous temperance wil] become the ru'e. The citizens of Canada who are honest in purpose will vote to build the fence all around the farm before declaring it ineffective, and will vote for total prohi bition before condemning it because of partially tried systems.
