FRIDAY, JUNE 8 i883, Inland Revenues of Canada. iain (Monetary Times.) The sources from which these revenues are derived are the excise duties on spirits, tobaceo, malt, petroleum, etc., also bill stamps (now abolished), | measures, gas and law stamps. enue from public works has also been placed under the control of this depart- ment. ‘The revenue collected by the de- partment during the fiscal year last past, ‘amounted to the total of six millions six ‘hundred thousand dollars, which is not far from double the amount derived from like sources, during the first year of Con- | federation, and which is the largest amount recorded since the $6,589,000 of 1874. We ‘obtain from the reports of the Commis- ‘sioner of Inland Revenue, the following | comparison of the total revenue in different ; years:— 1872. 1880 1882. Excise, $4,763,278 $4,312, 153 $5,936, 142 'Public Works, 592,961 440,814 438,060 | Culling timber, 74,512 23,014 46,781 Bill stamps, 189,161 176,115 158,493 Weights, meas. & law stamps, 20,812 30,746 $5,619,912 $4,972,908 $6,610,223 The decline in every item during 1880, is the most striking feature of this showing. In that year the quantity of spirits taken for consumptien was unusually low (2,290,- 367 gals.,) and the quantity exported very small (10,266 gals.) Receipts from the malt duty fell off greatly, but those from tobacco increased somewhat over 1878 and 1879. Receipts from thé culling of timber were light, the timber trade being then in a state of quietude, from which it has recently emerged. Bill stamps, toe, had begun to show the lessening revenue wh‘ch, taken in conjunction with the objecti ns loudly raised against them in commercial circles led to their abolition. ‘‘ Public Works” revetitige Motatet of those from slides and booms, canal tolls, water power and other rents. They too, have declined in comparison with 1878 and 9, and still ifr, B, Lanrance will be at Mr. Chappalle’s. Stora:mers comparison with 1872, 3 and 4, for to $672,120. Compared with the previous year, the revenue for 1882 increased $458,000 or 74 per cent. The increase was in excise $535,- 238, and culling timber ($8,384), while on all other items there was a decrease of $84,838. The details of excise revenue will appear by the subjoined table : Source. 1880. 1881. 1882. Spirits $2,292,974 $3,231,482 $3,555,490 Malt Liquor 6,410 6,250 6,125 Malt 298, 188 316,656 387,597 Tobacco 1,643,407 1,777,631 1,903,895 Petroleum 16,426 18,749 23,884 Manufacturers in bond 33,269 30,897 33 603 Seizures 13,903 6,058 11,690 Other receipts 7,571 13,181 14,458 Total $4,312,153 $5,400,904 $5,936,142 It is a matter which calls for no regret to find that the production and consumption of spirituous liquors is decreased of late as compared with some former years—the increase in revenue shown above, be it observed, is occasioned by the heightened duties. We find that in 1872 and the two succeeding years, an average of 4,600,000 gallons of spirits was manufactured in Canada and 3,780,000 gallons taken for consumption. In the four years ended with 1881, on the other hand, the average quantity made was only 8,323,000 gallons, and that taken for consumption 3,039,000 gallons. The year under review shows an increase in the num- ber of gallons made and taken, for they are 4,028,847 and 3,553,818 respectively. Six distilleries in Ontario and one in Manitoba, produce the whole four million gallons, equal to more than a hundred thousaud barrels. We are told by the report that 70,402,810 pounds of grain were employed in their production ; 77 per cent. Indian corn, 15 per cent. malt, the remainder wheat, vats, &c. The production of malt shows a very de- cided increase, and we are disposed to call it a welcome increase if it indicates, as we may fairly conclude, a change in the habits of the people from the use of whiskey to the use of beer and lager. This, indeed, is shown to be the fact by Appendix xxxiii of the report, which shows the consumption in the Dominion per head annually of the following articles to have been : Per head. 1868. 1882. Spirits consumed 1 621 gal. 1°09 gal. Beer “ 1-973 “ce 2-747 sé Wine “é “098 “e -120 “< Tobacco ‘‘ 1815 1b. 2°150 ibs. It appears from the table in this appendix that Ontario drinks most beer, British Col- umbia most wine and spirits. Quebec drinks more wine per head than any eastern province, while Manitoba quite surpasses Ontario in the use of that luxury, P. E. I.land would seem to be a model com- munity in respect of light consumption cf these articles. It tends to make one ques- tion the statement that ‘‘figures cannot lie” to find Nova Scotians put down as con- suming 40 per cent less liquor than New Brunswickers | Statistics compel us to the conciusion that, contrary to the vehement claim of some persons, Halifax is not all Nova Scotia. The production of malt in Canada for 1882, was seventy and a half million pounds, which is more than double her product eight years before. We may compare the quantities as under : Made dur- Taken for Exported. ing year. consumpt.

REGULATIONS FOR THE MUSICAL BRANCH OF THE THE MILITIA FORCE, ° The following Militia general order ware issued on Friday last : In order to secure uniformity on oecasions when the bunds of several corps require to be brigaded, each regimental band will be supplied for ordi- uary use with a set of marches arranged for twenty-four parts on seventy-two cards, viz.: the national anthem, slow march for salute, quick step for marching in column, trot past, also a tuning fork. Bands should conform at once to the standard pitch which in the case of instruments being too s may be effected by drawing the slides until the vibrations of the note produced by the instruments to correspond with that of the tuning fork. If the instruments are too flat, a similar result can only be obtained by having a piece cut of the turning slides or shortening the mouthpiece branch. Of these, the first is considered the better method of the two, but it is not likely any band will require to adopt either expedient. Commanding officers will be so good as to return any of these cards not required for their bands in erder that they may be distributed amongst bands having more than 24 performers. In camps of exercise, the battajion band on duty for the day should be required to play at reveille, the reveille, the trot past and one quick step; at retiral, retreat and qvick step; at tattoo first post, a quick step fol- lowed by the National anthem and last post also; “lights out” by a bugler or bandsman. ‘ |? a A Monster Prison. The largest prison in Europe is the House of detent:on, which has just been completed at Berlin. The enormous edifice comprises six separate buildings, to which have been transferred all the prisoners awaiting trial who have hitherto been confined in the vari- ous prisons in Berlin. The prison for men consist of a ground floor and four other storeys, with 732 separate cells, dormitories for 195 prisoners, besides 40 rooms for turn- keys and sleeping accommodations for 118 attendants. Each of the 732 cells has a window ten feet high. There are six cells in the basement for prisoners who are refrac- tory to discipline, and in the basement are also to be found the kitchens, the bath-rooms and the heating apparatus of the prison. The internal part of the prison is construef- ed of iron, and it is so built that all the corridors look out upon the central hall, which commands a view of every cell. The prison for men, which is separated from the rest cf the building by a wall 16 feet high, also contains a chapel and four large exercise grounds. The prison for women contains only 110 cells and 15 large dormitories, the latter of which are divided into sections, each containing e bed, which can be locked up every night after its occupant has retired to rest. ——__-—__——— mem + — Vivisecting a Monkey. The monkey which is the next link above dogs in the Darwinian chain, was the other day the hero of a stirring episode at the College de France. Mr. Brown Sequard, the eminent physiologist, in presence of a highly fashionable and attentive audience, 'was about to proceed with the vivisection of ayoung monkey. The monkey, by some misunderstanding, had not been previously anesthetized. At the approach of the scal- pel the victim of ecience began to shriek with rage and terror. To restore order. Brown Sequard was about to sever the animal's vocal ‘chords with the dissecting-knife, whereupon a very elegant- ly-dressed young lady, who had evidently been watchirg the proceedings from the monkey point of yiew, put in an energetic appeal on bebalf of her client. Springing forward from her seat, she charged the Professor with her umbrella, and inflicted several wounds upon his head and nose. The police had to be called in before the lady could be removed. When she was brought before the Magistrate she declared she had merely applied lawfully the pro- visions of the Grammont Cruelty to Ani- mals laws.—Paris Despatch. ——— + 2: EP +o o--- --- ‘ There is not a singie sailing vessel in the port of New York loading grain for Europe and very few chartered steamers.
