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

créased provincial subsidies, and as
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.-

, 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
ll
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.
