and the resulte\u2014ev far as they can veritied in times of peaon\u2014are in highest degree re-assuring, says a writer in the Chicago Herald.As {ar as mare numbers go the Russian War Minister can ut about bal! à million more armed men n the field than Germany or France.The latter country can reckon on 4,063,000, while Russia has 4,556.000, Considering the Question Jrom the financial polnt of view, vue cannot help wondering how it comes thatan emuvire whose linauces are so disorganized and for the needs of whose famine-stricken pulation contributions were sclicited this year and last year in foreign countries, is in a position to svend more uoney on its army every year than such a fairly prosperous state ss Austria- Hungary.And yet thls is tie fact.Austria-Hungary's finances are in so satts- factory a state that the forced paper alrculation is now making place for a wetaliic currency on a gold basis, and government credit ls such that the 4 per oent, loans are belng converted without the slightest difficulty, And yet Austria Hungary, in SPITE OF EXCEPTIONAL CONDITIONS which would certainly warrant and actually seem to call for increased military expenditure, lays oul a considerably smaller aunual sum ob her army than poverty-stricken Russia, whom no European state would ever dream of attacking.Foreigners in general have no adequate conception of the changes which, in the course of a few years, have contributed to metamorphose and regenerate the Russian army.he process may be truthfully described as a new birth.Formerly marveilous powers of endurance and a courage which knew no fear of death were the main characteristics of the Russian soldier, who, when abandoned to himself, had no more initiative than a log of wuod.At present he ia carefully taught, traloed, and drilled, knows as muoh about military technical matters as the ave rage European soldier can assimilate, and stili cultivates the old qualities which alone would give him a vast superiority over some of the most bighly-eulozized troope of at least one great power.Then as to numbers.A few years ago the iufantry oonsisted of tweive regiments of the guard, sixteen regiments of grenadiers, and 165 regiments of tue line.Gen.Vannoffeky, the enterprising War Minister, has WITHIN A COMPARATIVELY SHORT TIME added seventy-four reserve cadre battalions, which are to serve as the nucleus round which as many reserve regiments of two battalions each are to be formed.lt is still being continued, and a few days ago a ukase was published ordering the formation of four more reserve regiments of two battalions each.The words \u201ctwo battalions each\u201d have > somewhat mild sound tothe ears of mili- men who know that the ordinary Rus- oy infantry regiment oonsists of four battalions; but the sound is delusive and misleading, for these reserve regiments contain each 15565 common soldiers and forty officers, so that they are practically equal in numbers to the regiments of four Bajiastans (the latter possessing 340 m other words, 1895 instead of 1655) à a iter by those who acou any and Austria- Hungary ot taking Li the initiative ln imposing unbearapie burdens on the taxpaying populations.Russia, whom no otber power Yrould or could attaek, and who ran scarce- y her way, i8 naturally compelling her oy bors to equalize their chances against Ber | in war, NOTICES OF NEW BOOKS: JAcQ vus CAR: AND Hrs FoUR VOYAGES To CAN Essay, with Historical, Fxotanatory, and Philolo cal Notes, by LL, Montreal.Hiram B.Stephens, B.W.Drysdaie & Co, publishers, This handsome volume published in Montreal, is written by a gentleman who was formerly a well known citizen of Montreal.The reason of ita existence is as follows: Some time ago four medals were offered by His Honor: Lieutenant Governor Angers to competitors for prize essays on \u2014 ues Cartier and his lime\u201d The were, awarded OF competent Judges io\" Joseph Bo te À ervice, Ottawa;

Columba, Peuda, Oswald, Birda, Cuthbert and others are fascinatiny to every historical student.Nevertheless, the careful reconstruction of a particular period fn the lite of mankind simply from an intelligent examination of the relics found in the bowels of the earth, captivates the fancy, while we read thie account.and makes us admire the patient investigators who have found sermons in stones, and history in brouze and iron im- plementa.Referriug to the Roman occupation of Great Britain, the writer says: \u201cThe may- nificent collection of Italian jewellery, pottery and statuary, which formed one of the most valuable features of the international Exhibition, held In our clty in 1890, wre admirably fitted to impress the spectator with.the taste and artistic refinement of that ciassic land compared with the colder, dutler sense of the north.But for centuries ihere were hidden in our soil, amid the broken gods and altars, and the erambling masvory of Roman fort or vilia, objects as exquisitely beautiful and of similar mould, which came to our shores from the same southern ciime, in the wake of the conquering legions.* Tue word \u201caltars,\u201d which occurs in the last sentence, remimis us of sume of the inscriptions on these altars.As Dr, Mackinnon says: \u201cThe most comprehensive and charaoteristic of all is the inscription on the temple erected at Cambech Fort on the wall of Hadrian, \u201cTo the Deities of all nations\u201d; while the cosmopolitanism of the age, which gave rise to this tolerant appreciation, is finely oly, expromsed on an altar, \u201cTo the human race\u2019 found among et débris of the once imposing station of Bremenium, near the Border.\u201d Where all in the bouk, whether it be fanciful legend or actual history, ie repiete with inter- æl\u2014wbere equal care 1s bestowed on the career of savage, civilized man and salut\u2014 it is difficult to Indicate to the reader the pages to which he should pay most attention.Matthew Arnold In bis \u201cStudy of Celtio Literature\u201d Las done much to win the attention of the public to it; but we think that the following extract, which we givens a specimen of Mackinnon's style, on a subject that is doubtless regarded as dull by many, will induce our readers to study the book carefully.The passage relates to pature and the Celtio fancy, and with we will close our rambling notice or \"Culture in Early Scotland :\u201d \u201cThe lively imagination, snd the vivacious temperament of the Celt, made him particularly susceptible to the influences of nature.The religious instinot, working in the vein of a lively (ancy, peopled the land with iis aerial creatione\u2014the genii to whom the R mana id homage in every district in wnich they ormed a station.They saw a divine virtue in the healing properties of springs and herbs, they felt the presence of a in the rooding mists, the gloomy thickets, the wildfire that filtted across the sky, mysterious moonbeams, and the giirious sunrays, the will-'o- -the-wisp of the swamps, the mountains and ihé plains; the ever-ani- the streams or the sullen stillness of the poois, the lite breath of spring, and the orid beauty of summer.Nature was thus one vast Pantheon, and if, before the advent of the Koman, the cult of the Celt was debased by the horrors of human sacrifice, it was not without ita poetic charm.It is characterised by an intensity that can only find a resting place in the conception of the manifold and the vast.Ita sentiment presses on to the impalpable, the ideal.The forest of trees and the forest of rocks\u2014something Titanle, something weird, as ln the Ossianio poems\u2014not hewn timber and carved stones.Stonehenge, with its pinnacles of boulder, suit iis aspira- jo for something not to be bounded or ex- ater time many of these Pealiatio flotions, which wove themselves into the inmost life and thought of our an forelathers, became transformed in he tale of the bard toto the herces who filled in the blanks of our earlier history.\u201d derangemen: are promptly relieved AI If we can't curs your Catarrh, no matter case or of bow long standing, bow bad your well pay 8500 in cash.\u201d That Is whes prowised by ene roprietors of Dr.Sages 't it prove, better than any words coald, hat hin ie 3 remedy Costa only 50 cents MACHINERY!

while trying to pick out their respective friends from amongst the crowd of dark faces on the stage with eyes and features which at first sight bear a striking general resemblance tu one another.The mansgement of the present show made the identification rather too easy by furnishing souvenir programmes containing an artistically arranged group o! miniature reproductions of photographs of all the participators in their natural color, but as they thereby provided a very handsome memento of the entertainment they will, no doubt, be freely forgiven.Though the programme, with the exception of the fancy march, contained really pothing that was vory novel, the vntertain- ment 28 a whole was a great success.Everything ran smoothly and after the start had once been made the different numbers followed one another without delay.The boys were perfect in their parts and appeared very much at home on the stage, The end-men were all very funny and so were most of their jokes, though the experi- enoe theatre goer recognizee an occasional venerable and veritable chestnut.In one .or two cases the popular expression of the Mikado's Lord High Executioner in reward to not missing tbou: would have been appil- cable \u201cHarry\u201d Brophy made an impressive in- teriocutor especially when standing up.But the part is an arduous aud thankless one and It wus ouly at the end of the first Lai! in the song of the \u201cMerry Mulateer\u2019 that he got any scope for his well-known talent.Amongst ali is speeches the one during which he presented \u201cJimmy\u201d Campbell, to whose hard work much of the evening's success was due, with a very handsome baton on behall of his brother minstrels was the best appreciated, All the songs lu the first part, some of them ambitious efforts, were good and the choruses excellant.But the audience remained rather passive till alter the sketch by Messrs.Levin, Rodden and Nichol, which was very funuy.\u201cPhil\u201d Levin, who also acted as manager, was the life of the show end his funny doings kept people constantly laughing.The singers and songs tn the t part were Meesrs, Dick Patton, \u201cI'he Story of the Hells\u201d; Stuart Niohol » \u201cNot

recelved, Tho dancing of Messrs, Pearson and Hayes was better than that often seen in prusessional entertainments and they were recalled twice.The quartette ot Messrs.Jos Barlow, George Seiler, Archie Hodgson and Alex.Alley, Judiced from the approbation it received, will be heard often and with pleasure in the future, and Mesers.George Smith and W.Crawford In their Dutch specialties were extremely amusing.Messrs.Garbutt, Duclos and the two Toduens gave some charming seléctions on banjo, guitar and mandolin, and Mr.Levin, arrayed in wonderful attire, supplied the But Snbeskie with bis whistling solos,during which be accompanied himself on the zither, was as much liked as any of them and the avdience would gladly have listened longer to him had he given them tbe opportunity.After him came the

uniforms, marched and counter-marched with wonderful precision and formed into various pleturesque groups and positions, was highly creditable to them aud enjoyable to the large and fashionable number

BY MONTREAL SINGLE TAXERS.Vacant Lots to be Taxed Equally With Lu- proved Lots\u2014 Buildings and All Labor Products to be Exempt \u2014 Public Management of Monopolies.The Single Tax Ciub of Montreal at its roguiar weekly meeting in Fraser Institute Wednesday night, formally and unanimously adopted the Declaration of Principles drafted by the com.mittes recently appointed for that purpose.This platform asserts as its first and fundamental principle that all men are born with equal rights to life and consequently with equal and inallenable rights to the earth by the products of which all life is sus ned.\u201d tained.it then proceeda to say : \u201cWe hoid also that all men are equally entitled comm shouid be taken for the use of the community, \u201cWe hold that each man i8 entitled to all that his labor produces, therefore no Lax should de levied on de products of labor, \u201cTo carry out Lhese iples we arein favor of ralsing all public revenues for Pederal, provincial and municipal purposes by a single tax upon land values (irrespective of improvements), and the abolition of all other forms of taxation.\u201d The single tax is then defined as a tax on land values and not on land.That is to say, it would not tax all land, but only valuable land, and only that value which is made by the communisy and not by the owner.to the method of collection, this declaration says: IN ASBESSMENTS UNDER THE SINGLE TAX all values crested by individual use or improvement would be excluded.and the value taken nto would F tne wi idle, and the man who om à city lot erectod a vaiu- able building woulé be taxed no more then the man who a similiar lot vacant.The platform then continues : \u201cThe single tax, iu short, would to contribute to the public revenues, rtion to what they prod uce or accumulate, pro on to the natural ppor- tunities they hoid.It would compel t hem to pay ust as much for holding land idle as for putting to ita fullest use.The single tax,

As the words left her lips she fell back rigid upon the pillows in a dead faint, just as the old woman opened the door.Seeing her condition, the nurse ran forward, while Stéphen, staggering slightly and passing his hand over his dazed eyes and burning brow, went from the room out on to the landing.Three men were standing there.Two of them were strangers to Stephen: the third was Lloyd Milner, who, on seein Stephen, moved hastily forward, and, throwing open a window, admitted a keen blast wind, which dissipated the giddy faintness which the long journey and fasting and subsequent agitation had caused.When he turned from the window, which overlooked the quiet street, Stephen had recovered his wonted composure, and was able to understand Lloyd\u2019s hasty explanation and to acknowledge the informal introduction to the two strangers, one of whom was an English doctor who had visited Sibyl the other an English Government official, who was prep: to take down an deposition the dying woman might wis to make * Mr.Milner has given us an outline of the matter, said the taller, a handsome young man who wore a light overcoat over hisevening dress.*' sincerely hope that the poor creature may be able to clear your friend of such a charge.Every day,\u201d he added, with a slight laugh which jarred on Stephen after the painful acene from which he had come, \u2018I am becoming more and more convinced of the smallness of the world.Frank Greville and I were at John's together, and left Cambridge at the same time.Wo have not met since then, but I hope now that we shall do so before long.\u201d A silence succèeded his littie speech.Stephen had turned again to the window, thinking sadly of the broken life ebbing away in the inner room, and of the young wife he had left behind in anxiety and 8 nse, and his heart throbbed fast as he thought of Sibyl's assertion that Sidney had alwaysloved him.Could it be true?Was it possible that the dark cloud which nad overshadowed them for so long was passing away, and that the golden lining would remain?Could it be that out of a dying woman's contession, a confession of sin and guilt and misery and despair, happiness would come to him and to Sidney?Even now he thought he saw it come smilingly toward him; and yet no\u2014it Was not possible! Had Sidney ever loved him, she would not have believed him guilty of murder.Almost half an hour slipped by in silence; then the old woman came out of the room where Sibyl was, and motioned to Stephen to go in.\u201cShe has not long to live,\u201d she said, wiping her kind eyes, from which tears pou lentifully; and a flush rose in yd er\u2019's cheek.\u2018Ah, pray Heaven she may live to make her confession!\" he thought sadly.She had recovered entire consciousness when Stephen re-entered the room; but it seemed to him that her weakness was ater even than it had been before, There was a hectic spot on either cheek pow, standing out so vividly on the ghastly pallor of her face that it had almost the effect of rouge.The window had been opened to give her as much air as possible, and she was wrapped in an old red shawl as she sat up among her pillows, looking eagerly tow the vor.\u201cIam ready,\u201d she whispered boarsely, holding out her trembling hands to Stephen\u2014'\u2018 but you must help me\u2014I am so weak, Tell them to come in.\u201d Grave enough now were the faces of the two men as they entered the room; and, as they 2 in, the wild blue eyes caught sight of Lioyd waiting outside.\u2018There is some one else,\u201d she said in sudden terror.\u2018 Who is there?\u201d ** Lloyd Milnor, à friend,\u201d Stephen answered hastily, scene her fear.\u2018\u2018 He she repeated faintly.** Let him come in too.It does not matter, since you will hear it, who hearsit.\u201d Once more she seemed on the point of fainting; but she rallied, looking up at Stephen with piteous eyes.\u201cOh, help me!\u2019 she moaned.\u201cIam BO W and | cannot die until\u2014I have spoken.Can you not give me something?\u201d she asked, turning eyes upon he, grave compassionate tace of the or.In'silence he gave her some restorative, Klaneing significantly over at Stephen as he held it to her lips.The glance was understood; it meant that whatever was to be done must be done quickly, or it would be too late.Thinking of the innocent man in the 1 Ashford, it phen\u2019s voice was somewbat u ard Si \u201cThe cireamstances of your hus death?\u2019 he saia voir.\u201c 3 told | that Frank Greville had bee arrested on à charge of the m > / \u2018 Bat he is in $,\u201d she cried feebly, \u201c\u201c becnase-\u2014I bim!\u201d The mystery was solved at last\u2014what Lloyd er had suspecied was true, { moving from their fixed > Ste; heart bis rr es Me as Bg iM ward he a rE \u201cTC was an messes she said, im the same fosble manner, ber \u20ac grave gentle face, Passionate, bent over vas at night\u2014you know, the night of the ball, n I reached home, he had sent the servants to and was waiting up for me himself; he discovered in some way-\u2014that I bad meant to go\u2014with Frank\u2014and\u2014we had a shocking scene\u201d \u2014even now, pocalling it, she shuddered through all her feeble frame.He was bitter and cruel, and I\u2014oh, ] had meant to be more patient!\u2014you had said so much.\u201d \u201c\u2018 Youhad meant to be patient, to be a better wife,\u201d Stephen said gently, as she paused; * but\u2014\u201d ** But be had said such bitter things, He taunted me\u2014he said had disobeyed bim\u2014betrayed him and\u2014\u201d The feebly uttered words died away on the white parched lips.In intense eagerness, too eep for words, they waited; the room Was 50 still that when the low faint voice spoke again the words were audible to one and all.\u2018 And I\u2014resented it\u2014 and said I would go with Frank; and\u2014he threw himself between me and the door \u2014and 1 snatched up the gun which stood in the library \u2014and\u2014we struggled, and \u2014the gun went off \u2014and he\u2014telll\"\u201d A long breath, almost a sob, broke from Stephen Daunt.How blind and mad they had all been not to think of this! But for the supposition that she bad fled with Frank, they must Lave thought of it, \u201cIdid not wait\u2014to see\u2014if he was much hurt,\u201d she continued, her voice growing momentarily weaker until it Bunk to a faint whisper.\u201cI was fright ened.I ran up to my rooms, tore off my ball dress, And put on the dress I had prepared for that other flight, and left the house unseen.1 wonder now how 1 dared,\u201d she went on, her blue eyes wandering slowly around tle room and finally resting on Stephen's pale moved face; ** but I had got back all my courage and calmness, and I was able to look my peril in the tace.I put on the thick veil 1 had procured for my flight, tue close bonnet, the great heavy cloak, and I lett the house.It was not snowing then; it had ceased.\u201d Again her voice failed, and her eyes closed in utter weakness.The doctor bent over her hastily, forcing some restorutive through the pale lips; it was piteous to see the faint look of reproach which crept into her eyes as \u2018 he opened them and looked at him languidly, as if to ask why he could not let her rest, (To be Continued.A Child Enjoys .The pleasant flavor.gentle action and acotih- Ing effect of Syrup of Figs, when In need of a laxative, and if the Sather or mother be costive or bilious, the most gratliyiog re- suits follow its use; so that it is the best family remedy known aud every family should have a Dottie.Miss Minnie McFadden, of Little Cooley, Pa., has the contract and will hersel!

resorting to arms.The Revoiution was brought about by tyranny and scandal.lhe Republic has had overy chance to do well in the past twenty years, but so many mistakes have been made that the present crisis was inevitable.The first fit of frenzy was Boulangism.Tobat was cut short by the energy of M.Constana, The next was the Panama scandal, a much more serious matter, because ils nature is not only political but economical.and touches what the French people hoid most dear\u2014the Integrity of their elected representatives.\"heb, in the main, there was lhe necessily for a change, not of the form of government (tor the Republic is indestructible), but of the personnel of the government.The leading men in the Panama Canal Company are in the first place politicians, exch one wanting to succeed President Carnot.In the next pisce failing that, every one of them wanted to be in the iinistry.ln the third place, finding that Lie generation which had sprung uu since 870 was ten obaurate

satisfied, intrigues and personal politice of the second class, and finally the indignation of that part of the parie, the comparatively poor, who have oat more than one thousand millions of france in the Paname Canal scheme.All these things culminate in an assauit upon the Government, which ts badiy, if at ali, defended by the people it has fed for the past twenty years, What can President Carnot do now?Nothing.At firet he might have strangled the affair.He had in his hands a copy of the 'anama documents and photographs of cheques.He ought to have ordered to come to the Ely- e those Deputies who were implicated and ave advised them to resign.Now it is too sate.\u2018the only road open is thediasolution of the Chamber.But what wouid result from the elections nobody can say, except the disappearance of the majority, wnich the Government now has {uo fact.There fore, that step would be a risky one, for we might se the Government pass into the hands of the renctioniste or the socialists, President Carnot, Who Is quite cool, does not dare do that and does not want to.So, setting aside the horrible condition of morality unvetied by the Panama Canal scandal, we may say that we are In the aepths of à politiont quagmire {rom which we cannot escape.How many men are saying, \u201cOh! ir Boulanger were not read\u201d and how many are every where looking for ancther Boulan- or « France's Weight of Shame.Nxw YORK, December 23._.The Sun's Paris cable says: The weight of shame heaped upon France grows heavier every hour.Even the thousanus of! victime of gigantic and cruel fraud Who cried loudeat for re- vonge are beginning to think that the blaok- esl national disgrace in modern history is too great a price to pay.It is now openly argued by some honest people that there are higher public duties than the punishments of thieves ana bribe takers.They point out that soclety and government wiil topple into chaos |?the foundations are further undermined.No public name in France is to-day above Suspicion, and to have been conn with the Goverament tn any responsible capacity during the past ten years bas become & stain upon a man's reputation.Bo there is a virtucus demand that the drag net ofl law shall no more sweep the foul sea of corruption.Itigto be ho that these protests will avail nothing.The peril of the republic 1s great but not eo great 8818 would be if the remaining chapters of disgrace were aupprerssrd and the ever-threatening cloud wera allowed to remaln hanging over the nation.The Government shows no signs of relenting io ite pursuit

Rev.Dr.riggs Closed.New YORK, December 23.\u2014The trial of Dr.Brigus was resumeu before the New York Presbytery yesterday.Dr.Lampe took up the consideration ol the sixih char against Dr.Briggs, that he teaches sancti cation does not follow immediately after death.As he understood Dr.Brigas\u2019 view, it was that when a man left this world he entered the middle state In exactly the same condition as he left ty world, and he was compelled to pass his existence in the middle Hifo in pertecting himself for the Zlory that beshailenjoy with God and the Saviour after the judgment.Dr.Briggs\u2019 position was contrary to that heid by the Protestant Church.Dr.Lampe maintained that the Iact that Christ, when hie came into the world as the second Adam to redeem it, was a proof that a man leaves the misery, toil and sin of this world behind him when be is called away by death, and that the sous of the believery are at vpce sanctified, The argument was finished after.more teruper bein displayed than at any previous session concluded the argument in rebuttal fort the prosecuting committee, speaking on the charge that Dr.Brigge denied the comple tion of sanctification by death, Dr.Henry Van Dyke moved that, aa the moderator had ruled that Dr, Lampe had introduced new matter in his rebuttal, Prol.Briggs be allowed Lo reply to it.Col.MeCook defended Dr.Lampe, saying that he had introduced new argument and not new evidence.Finally, Mr.Bliss, the Moderator, ruled that new matter had been introduced and gave to Prof.Briggs the right of reply.Dr.Briggs\u2019 reply did not occupy much time, The Professor attacked Dr.Lampe's historical knowledge.He said the doctor had ken of John Ball as participating in the Wastminster Assambly, when John Bail dled in 1620, and the Westminster Assembly met in 1648.He closed Ly saying that the court haa his delence and he challenged the members 10 judge him by the Seriptures and the Westminster cunfession.The Moderator then ruled that the case, 60 far as the arguments and evidence ware concerned, was ended.it took a long discussion to choose a time for resuming ihe pres but finally next Wednesday was ham The Mexican Revolt.O17Y OF MEXICO, December 23, A searching investigation fails to find in this city any trace of Gen uas Rocha, the instructor of the National Midi Academ at Chapuitepse, alihough the Minister DE

BACK FROM LONDON.MESSRS, HALL AND CASGRAIN ARE HOME AGAIN, The Ex-Provincial Becretary on the Present Bystem of Taxation And the Future Action of the Government.The Hon.Messrs.Hall and Ceagrain reached the city this morning ob their return !rom Eugiand.Both are in excellent health.They bad a hard voyage acroeés on the \u201cTeutonio,\u201d baving bad a head sea nearly ail the way across, Among the other passengers were Messrs.Rosamond, M.P., Montague Allan, and Kingsmill, Q.C.Mr, Casgraip left the province & week earlier thab Mr.Hall 'iid, and, therefore, had time to take a run over to Paris.Mr.Hall only left Montreal on November 19, and was, erefors, absent some live weeks.He went over to argue belure the Privy Couucil on an appeal In the case of the Banque du Peuple and Bryant, Powis & Bryant.Mr.Hail represented the jaiter firm, Mr.Cas- grain the Banque du Peuple, apd Mr.Stuart, C, tne Quevec Bank.Hume $70,000 is invoived ic thie suit, which isan appeal from the Court of Appeal here.No judgment has t been renaered.Mr.Hall said that the ei Council had treated Lhem with great conalderation.When Lhey received a de- spalch from Quebec on December 8 recalling them to Quebec, owing tu the resignation of Mr.de Bouchervilie, there was a great Indian appeal pending.The oounsel interested consented to allow tne Canadian tv be heard, and the Privy Covel even sat un Saturday and Moaday to conclude the case.Two days after Mr.Hall and his companion ieft Lon- dog on their return.THE WEATHER WAS MOST MISERABLE tn London.The i ember for Montreal West spent 5t Andrews Day in Glasgow Saow plainly seen on the hills on the way to that city.Mr.all had not yet seen Premier Talllon, nor any of his colieagues, and he did Dot refer to the policy of the new administration.On the question of provincial taxation Mr.Hall sai \u201c1 have read tne answer given by ex-Premier de Boucherville to the representations made him by the merchants of Montreal.The public must understand that it ls no pleasure for the provincial Government to impose taxes and that if this Las been done it was because the financial situation of the Province exacted it Since 1887.the situation has been made worse.The receipts have pot been made to equal the expenditure.Since then the proceeds the\u201d loan of $3,600,000 and that of 4.000 000, have been received and spent while obligations in raliway Bebe exist for the remaining of the $10,000,000.Our tixed an- pual charges have increased $550,000 an- pually and these cannot be cut down.This must be provided for.The $4,000,000 part of the $10,000,000 authorized loan come due on July 16 next and this wili have to be taken care of PROBABLY BY EEFLOATING IT, This canbot be done with any measure of sucèess unless we show that we have a good revenue There never has been any system of taxation yet tried which has not been subjected to ertéiclem | and charges made of unfair treatment.This has Leen said of the Engiish income tax,in which two committees bave sat and have been unable to suggest any improvement.In the Province of Quebec the Government had no statistics to guide them in making any grade and it is only by the working of the law tbal we can judge of its delects.Any representation made will be more than carefully consider ed.to bay nothing ol any amendments which may be submitted, 1 notice that one of the features of this question is that reduction of expenditure is urged.any ope interested in this question wil turn up mY last budget speech, at p.33 they will pee Lhe reductions which we have made legislation : The reduction here 18 $93,775.60, bul of this there is about s65,- 000.00 for general elections, BO We should only claim credit for.$ 28,775 60 Civil Goyernment.18,632 96 Admiutstration of Justice.72.000 00 Public Instruction - LH,286 08 Agriculture, Colonization and Immi- Krnlion.LL.0 Lacan sec ras 89,927 60 Puulic Works, Ordinary.52,840 00 Lunatic As¥lums and Cha .67,087 06 Miscellaneous services.73,260 #6 Total reduction Ordinary Ex pendi- ee eas $431,621 14 ] may a that I have reason to believe that the saving during the present financial year wii!
