common Ioftheln ll- The Hild

American Act. Ontario was to rece ve 580.011), Quebec 870,000, Nova Scotia $60-- 000 and New Brunswick for the support of their Governments andl Legis- iatures and the two larger Provinces were to receive, in addition an annual grant equal to H) cents per head of their popula- tion as it was in i801, while the two smaller Provinces were each to get B0 cents per head as shown oy each census

up}to 4(l).0iD.

Such were the general features of the

financial settlement of 1887 between the four Provinces. What has happened since? Two other Pr-rvinces then exist-

ing, British Columbia and Prince Edward island, have been brought into the union and three new Provinces, Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan, have _ been

created, and all of them were _ given not only_what they would _be entitled to un- der the general financial terms of the British North America Act but addition-

al grants of money or lands, ' or both, far

in advance of what the Maritime Prov- inces have ever received. We will not,

however, touch upon that further now.

What has happened to the original four

Provinces l Two noteworthy things have

hhppenod. Quebec and Ontario have had their area vastly enlarged from the public domain of Canada hy the ` bestownl of hundreds of thousands of square miles of valuable timber, mineral and agricultural lands, the added area being five cr six times as great asthe total area of the three Eastern Provinces. And to this

enormous gift of land the Conference of Premiers held in October last proposes to add an extension of their per capita sub-

sidies from what they were to a vastly larger sum. " " W* =

in a word by the terms of this settle-

l ment Ontario and Quebec will gain $100,-

000 and $170,000 respectively in their yearly grants for the support of Governments and Logisiatures. while under this head Nova Scotiawill get $130,000, New Bruns- wick $i30, 000 and Prince Edward Island $70,001 more than heretofore. But in respect of the per capita subsidy of ED cents per bend neither New Brunswick nor Prince Edward Island get any increase, and Nova Scotia a small increase, while Ontario and Quebec will immedia- tely obtain 80csnts per head on all the population they have. added in forty years past, and will so on forever iucrealng this _gain in the generations to come.

The land grab arid the subsidy grab of

ihs two big Provinces is of vast and un~ told value. A single mine of silver in 0ntaric`s new territory is a matter of many millions to that Province. The gain in yearly subsidy is a matter ef hundreds of tbousands,‘ and the same In

true of Quebec. And what do the Mari- time Provinces get to counterbalance all thisl It is a mere baizatelie compared with the enormous gains of the big rich Provinces of Central Canada. And it

would be easy to show that the new Provinces of the Wesbhave fared quite aa well as Ontario. They have been given subsidies to burn-actually do not know how to spend the money they get yearly from Ottawa.

it may be that the Maritime Province cculd_get no fairer settlement than this- that we are quite at the mercy of Ontario Quebec and the West., The big land grab

sion of facts and gross misrepresentation toprevent the enactment of a Prohibitory

Iiaw. _~

The situation in Nova Scotia is lin many

respects paraliedto what it was here at _ the time our Prohibitory Law was enact- ed. The principal area of the Province is andhas been since the eailyeighties of last

century, under the Canada Temperance Act. Halifax, like our own city of Char- lottetown was then, is undera License Law. Here the city was somewhat

evenly divided ' in sentiment on the question of Prohibition. Successive elections under the Scott Act demonstrat- ed the fact. Halifax has always been

under license.

Halifax is also a much larger city than

ours, and the liquor trade has long had very large vested interests there, in i brewing,distilling and in the wholesale sud retail' trade in liquors. In the rest of the Province, provincial prohibition will menu a simpler,strouger and more effective means cf suppressinga traillo that is already under ban of thc law. l1‘o Halifax l it will mean a revel sal of the license system. As far as we can Judge from the experience of years in Charlottetown the same law enforced as it has been here would be of inoalcuiahlo benefit to Hall- fax.

Here the result has been greatly In-

creased sobriety, a great diminution of drunkenness, au increased in comfort among the working classes and the poor, better trade in dry goods, groceries, furniture and clothing. The 'City has

gone ahead. We have better hotels, better streets, better sidewalks and better conditions generally. No good cause, or industry has suffered, and the result of the successful operation of the ' law has been to malls prohlbitionists of many who five or si! years ago were either in doubt as to the utility of prohibition or outright opposed to it. ~

Whether the same law could be as well

enforced in I-laiifax against the more forcefui and influential opposition it would encounter is n matter we leave fo,- our Nova Scotiau friends to consider.

That would depend somewhat upon the resolution and persistence ofthe temper- ance people themselves, for .the law would give them an irnpregoabie poa- ition-almoai. like their own Citadel- from which to dominate the aiiuation. Our own belief is that Prohibition would do great good to Halifax iiself, even
