Merchants Bank of Halifax

Tue statement ot the Merchants’ Bink

of Halifex, published a few days ago, shows

that that institution tias made a handsome profit in the past year, n twithstanding the keen competition which exists in banking. It is evident that this bank has prospered

wonderfully in recent years. A compara-

forth that its reserve

tive statetnent sets fund has increased from $200,000 in 1888 to $510,000 in 1892. That is to say,

paying the annual dividends upon upwards

alter

of a million dollars capital, the bank has put to rest $710,000 in four years In the same period the this bank have mounted from $2,862,000 to $4,866,000, the circuiation from $993 000 to $1,020,000, and the Joans from $3,835,000 to $6,703,

deposita at

000! The Merchants’ Bank of Halifax is evidently under careful management. Even se, it could not—in the face of th strong competition -vhich prevails—have

progressed as it bas, if the country which

it serves were not prosperous and trade

healtby. Professor Rebertson'’s Visit

Proresson Rorerrson has intimsted that he intends to visit this Province again before the opening of the season for cheese making. He will be heartily welcomed by those of our farmers who have ventured These

upon the cheese-making enterprise. men, one and all, need to be informed upon points in connection with the produc- tion of milk and the manufacture of cheese; and there is no man who can give the in- formation required more fully and clear'y than Professor Roberison. Fresh lengthy visit to. the Mother County, is, also, in a position to give advice as to the very best way and means of placing our cheese in the British market. it is to be regretted that he cannot promise to stay here longer than a week, But if the pro- gramme of the places at which he will speak be carefully and judiciously arranged he may, even in that short time, be heard by all our farmers who particularly inter- ested in the cheese industry. It is pleasing

Prof. Robertson further says; ** aperiments conducted at the Government Experiment S ation in the United States of America have shown that the bones from swine, which are fed upon corn, exclusively or mainly, will break wi h the application of Jess than half of the pres- sure which is required to break the bones of animals of similar breeding which have been fed upon grains or dairy products.” Me. Taylor went on to say: ** Prof. Rob- ertson proves conclusively that the meat ol corn-fed swine is pot so healthy as that fed on the products of the dairy and our coarse grains. It is nut nearly sopvaluable ia the English market, and Canadian bacon briogs from 2 to 3 cents per pound more than American bacon, owing to the fact that the hogs are fed largely on our corse grains and very little corn.” Notwithstanding this fact, a few Conservatives have united with the Liberal Party to demand the free admission of United States corn for feeding purposes. Afier what Mr. Taylor said the other day—he is the Government whip— there ought to be litile chance of the majority in the House agreeing to the! abolition of the present duty. —___

Hockey Match.

Tue Victoria or Junior Hockey Club played their first match game, English vs. teh, at the rink last night. The boys sre to be congratulated on the success cof he match. The promenade of the rink was well filled with spectators. At 8 o'clock

snd after a round or two of the rink took at the sound of the referee's whistle. The players made a very fine ap- pearance on the ice. The Eaglish team wore red and blue striped jerseys, while the Scots were clad in blue jerseys with white knickers. The game was two half-times, of 36 minutes each. At 10 minutes past eight the puck was bullied and the game commenced. During this half-time the game was not very exciting, hardly a word veing spoken, and the players seemed a little slow to get in any good work. At he end of ten minutes Wallie Pickard se-

position

cured the first goal of the evening for the English team. No time was wasted and again the rubber was on the move, For 15 minutes

he next goal belonged to anybody. But the Scotch were getting hot, and at last worked the puck up iato their opponents’ gual, and ia @ scrimmage the ball flew chrough the posts, scoring ‘tone” for the Scots. During tke next ten minutes both sides tried hard to make # point, but on the half-time call the game stood a tie—one goal each. The players had now a ,recess of ten minutes, during which time numer- ous lemons disappeared and lots of big reso- lutions were made. Again the whistle sounds ‘‘commence play,” and the teams take their places. Away goes the puck and now the game is played with more spirit. Occasionaily can ve heard the yeil of a **Scot” or the shout of an ‘‘Englishman.” Miller is now play- ing a fiae game for the Scotch, but is noi backed up by his men. Pickard, Hyndman ana Wright certamly arethe best men among the Eogiish. The first goal in second half was won for the Scotch by McLeod who also played well, Afver three minutes of quick play Wright won for the English the secund ygoai. he players were now getting in ome good work, but at times were too xcited and the referee had all he could do o get them to play cn aide. The game still stood a tie, but the English soon scored athird goal won by their plucky little captain Pickard. Now came one of he prettiest plays of the evening. Miiler, who was playing a good forward made 4 tremendous dash, secured the puck and sud carried it the whole length of the rink hen shot the finest goal made during the evening. Only eight minutes left snd still the game stood a tie or three goals ach. A hard fight for victory now ensued snd at the end of eight minutes Wright secured another goal for his men. Again ‘hey lined up with three minutes left; but ali of no use, the Scots were nct in it, and st the sound of ‘‘cease playing” the game stood: English, 4 goais; Scots, 3 goals. rhe game was on the whole an interesting one although considerable ‘“‘off side” piay wasmade. Mr. S. C. Moore acted as referee for the teams. The Citizens’ Band rendered some choice selections in their usual masterly manner.

Notes and Comments.

—A wonderful paint, which changes in color with changing temperatures, bas just been made and patented by Mr. Coll, of Woolwich Road, Belvidere, Kent, England. It shows a bright yellow at the ordinary temperature of the air, but upon a rise 1 changes gradually, until at 220 degrees Fahrevheit it becomes a bright red, and may bo heated and cooled indefinitely without losing its chameleon like property. [t has been suggested that this paint might be used with advantage to detect a rise in the temperature of the frictional working parts of machinery.

—Everybody has heard of the famous cats of Kilkenny.

** Fach cat thought there was one cat too many, So they quarrelled and fit, They scratched and they bit, Till, excepting their tails Aad some scraps of their nails,

Instead of two cats, there wa’nt any.”

Not everybody knows, however, the tru story of the cats. In 1798 or 1802—historia:s differ about ever so important dates as this— Kilkenny was garrisoned by Hessian soldiers d wring « rebellion in Ireland, One night some o the soldiers amused themselues by cruelly t ing the tails of cats together and throwing the animals across a clothes line to fight. An officer entered the room to stop this inhuman sport, but the soldier who saw him coming gave # great s'ash with a sword and cut off the tails of both cats, The cate esesped out of the window, but the bloo’y tails bad to be ac- counted for. The quick-witted soldier who had cut the feline kaot coolly replied to the officer's question that the cats had devoured each other, with the exception of their tai's, and the story was thought to be so good that it was perpetuated in verse. Atleast that is the story told in explanation of the well-known rhyme,

The Budget Speech. INTERESTING STATISTICS.

Financial and Fiseal Policy of the Government,

Further Modifications of the Tariff. CORN DUTIES NOT TOUCHED.|

A Careful Revision to be} Made Next Year.

Orrawa, Feb. 15.

Hon. Mr. Foster began his Budget Speech to a full house and thronged gal- leries at 3.35 yesterday afternoon. He was received with prolonged applause. With but a few words of introduction he plunged at once into the comparative state- ment of revenue for 1891-92,cempared with 1890 91. Customs receipts for 189° 019 were, he ssid, $23,399,300, and for 1891-92 the receipts were $20,501,059, or a decrease of $2,898.24). The excise for the first period waa $6,914,850 and for the latter period was $7,947,067, a gain of $1,030,- 247; and miscelianeous revenue was $8,265,160 for 1899-91, and $8,475 715 for 1891 92, which showed a gain of $210,555, Che total reveaue for 1890 91 was $38,579, - 310, and for 189192, $36,921,871 or a loss for the second pariod $1,657,437.

Hon. Mr. Foster then proceeded to show that while there wasa defict in the revenue as compared with the preceding year, it was due to reduction in the tariff, almost wholly on articles consumed by the tarmer and laborer, and that had the old tariff been maintained the result would have been different.

The Finance Minister next dealt with the comparative revenue derived from spirits, malt, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco and snuff, and with the consumption of spirits, beer, wine and tobacco per capita, after which be took up the expenditure for 1891-92, com- paring it with the expenditure of 1899 91.

About four or five years ago he had stated that he thought that the time had been reached tocali a helt in increasing our debt. That prophecy was literally ful- filled, till last year, when they remitted millions of dollars of taxation and had to draw on capital account for capital expen diture. Had taxes not beencut down, not only would the deficit have been impossib- le, but the debt would have been reduced by over two millions. (Applause.)

Coming to the question of the tar ff, the Finance Minister srvused intense atien- tien. No man woull, he said, deny that that there was much agitation in the country with reference to the tariff and trade matters, and that the people were

duty and certain fees as restriction upon im-

portation, which made the whole duty about

9 cents per gallon. It was proposed to remove

the duties on barrels and the inspection fecs,

which would leave the embargo upon

the importation of oil 'at 7.15 cents peri gallon. This would amount to the importation

of foreign oil in br“. g>~awty of 7.15 cente | per gallon, instead ricting the importa-

tion oil in barrels 5

tees.

Binder twine is now subject to a duty of 25 per cent., which would be reduced to 124 per cent.

Sir Richard Cartwright took the floor after recess. The burden of his speech was thet Canada could never enjoy any reasonable measure of prosperity without free access to the United States market, and that our tariff was bilious and of no avail; and that now when the country was crying out for relief, the Government would fain put them off with. a committee of enquiry.

Sir Richard Cartwright closed his speech at ten o'clock, when Hon. Mr. Haggart moved the adjourrment of the debate, and the House adj uined till Thuraday,

ground on this question. Another cause was the change in the tariff arising from differences in values

which created dissatisfaction with persons who believed in protection. The McKin- ley Bill had necessarily the effect of shar- pening the discussion of our tariff by rais- ing s barrier mainly against the tarmer’s products, causing a diversion of trade and consequent temporary loss. The elections in the United States, not long ago, which had been unduly magnified by the Leaders of the Opposition, as a free trade victory necessitating great changes in this country, was an exciting cause. He differed from Uppusiiion in the belief that Mr. Cleve- land’s election had spreadabroad Free Trate | to the world. The record of th: Dem cratic ; party and the feeling oi the American | people was egainst Free Trade ont the contention of the Oppori o ,— whose course had not been creditabie to them as Canadians (cheers). The ‘ow p-ices of cereals was another contribulimg cause to the tariff agitation. The Opposition to k | advantage of all these circumstances to make capital for themselves, and po matter what their wim, the result of their props ganda has been to spread discontent with our condition and our country. But Canada wae learning the lesson that she must live and prosper as a whole; and he mis- judged the spirit of the Canadian people if they were not willing to bear each other's burdens. It was unfortunate that our op- ponents were preaching a doctrine that meant disruption if it meant anything at all. There were people who went out from hon. gentlemen's meetings believing there was a way to carry on this country without a dollar of taxation. (Ap plause and langhter). The Government wou id meet the feeling of the country freely and frankly. While neither frightened nor forced into action, the Government proposes, after reasonable consideration, to do in tariff mat-

try as a whole, with due regard to our internal

rosperity as well as to our relations with Calon countries. ‘fo the question, will the Government adopt a free trade policy, he would answer, Ko ! (Prolonged cheers) Why? Because of the _require- ments of the revenue, which preclude its adoption. We had to raise $28,000,000 from customs, and he defied the hon. gentleman to sbow how that sum could be reduced. Why? Because of the veried industries developed ander protection, in which $353,000,000 are invested, which cannot yet unsided stend the competiuon of rich countries like Great Bui‘ ain and the United States. These industiics had kept population inthis country which otherwise should have left it, and they had developed greatly since 187%. Next session he proposed to recomm»nd a thorough revision

of the tariff, founded» upon information carefully obtained and well consider- ed. There would be no commercial

panic and no individual industry would be anduly protected) The demand for a reduc- tion of the duties upon coal oil give rise toa difficult question. The straight duty was 7 15 cents per gallon, with an aduitional protection to Canadian producers in the shape of a small
