This'is quite amoveut in the financial history of the country. The next issue of our bonds should be at‘tbr‘ee per «MT-«6165a Such a result, says the London Eree Press, forms an excellent commentary on the assaults on the part of the Grit- Opposition on Canadian credit and financial standing. It is also a rebuke to those sadâ€"hearted individuals who are forever lamenting our forlorn con- dition, and who are "looking to Wash-- ington” as a means of bettering their pockets. The money market of Eng-- land, the great financial barometer, is altogether satisfied with the Canadian status, and it gives proof of this by buying readily at par our securities carrying only 3% per cent: interest. When Sir Richard went a-moncy-mon-- gerin in England all he could not for Canada bonds was ninetyâ€"one at 4 per cent; Since that time the Government of the country has been almost exclu- sively‘in the hands of the Conservatives, and during the whole of that period the people have been assured that everything ‘ was going to the bad, and especially that the finances were in an “alarming con-- dit-ionl." But who has been alarmed ? Certainly not the shrewd, long-headed financiers in England, who accept the 3% per cent bonds at par, a rise in their value in relation to principal and interâ€" est equal to about 16 per cent, from Sir Richard’s basis. Not so very “alarm-- ing,” surely l And so confident is the Globe of the Continuation and solidity of the existing state of things that it predicts that the next loan can be floated at a lower (a better) point stillâ€"at 3 per cent. It is to hoped that such will be the case. In all this one sees the absurdity of the Grit contention that the public finances are iméuch a bad condi- tion that it requires the united efforts of Sir Richard Cartwright and Mr Mills to put them in reputable order. Previous to and during the electoral campaign the 3Grit press and stump orators asserted it to be accepted as fact that the country was “drifting.” The fact that the Globe itself adduces, and the expecta- tion it indulges, is in flat contradiction 'of that position. Now that the cam- paign is over, and little is to be gained by further misrepresentation, truth is permitted to leak out, and the assurances on the part ofthe Conservatives of a flourishing condition of things are more than justified. The truth is that evictions in Ireland are nothing like as numerous and nothâ€" ing like as heartless as they are in New York. In the last quarter of last year the total number of evictions in all Ire- land was only 650. More than that often take place in New York City in a month. And while in Ireland the Poor Law Officers are required to be present at every eviction, and evicted tenants are frequently put back as caretakers, here people who can’t or won’t pay their rent are thrown out on the street or on the road and left to shift for themselves. Only last week an item was printed in our papers telling how a widow and seven children were evicted in Long Is~ land and left with their little, efiects on the roadside all night during a heavy storm, and how they were subsequently taken to the poorhousv, where five of the children diedâ€"1W“: York Standard, Sir Charles Tapper brought down the Budget, on Thursday afternoon last, in a speech of five hours duration. The beauty of it is, that it is not hard to understand, the statements made are concise and clear, and not by any means uninteresting. Sir Charles Tupper does not go into details at all. The financial statement shows that the receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1886, amounted to $33,177,04039 or about $380,000 less than the estimate. The expenditure on the other hand, owing largely to the Northâ€"West rebellion, exâ€" ceeded the estimates very greatly and reached the sum of $9,011,612.26 The deficit, therefore, for that year was $5,834,571.81, about the largest that Canada ever suffered. For the present fiscal year which ends June 30th, Sir Charles estimates that the receipts will amount to $35,300,000 or about $800,â€" 000 in excess of the estimates made by Mr. McLelan last session. This increase is, according to Sir Charles, to be reckâ€" Oned to the increased prosperity of the country. The expenditure will be greater than was estimated up to the same date being likely to reach $35,600,â€" 000 Sir Charles estimates for next year are that the receipts will reach $36.â€" 400,000. The expenditure is estimated at $35,041,855 or over $800,000 less than that of this year. The estimated surplus for next year is $1,358,145. Sir Charles states that on the first of this month Canada's gross debt amounted to $270,072,855.27, and the nett debt $225,105,961.08, an increase, since 1867 of $149,377,319“. We have spent upon increased subsidies of railways, canals, &c., about $183,292,584.76 or a sum in excess of the debt by $33,915,â€" 265 05, and that after providing new customs houses, light-house system, and other items of necessary expenditure. The Dominion has now no, floating debt, and her 3% per cents. have sold at par. Sir Charles Tupper receives from every penny-a-liuer throughout the Dominion who are opposed to the Gov- ernment of which he is one of the memâ€" bers. more abuse than would sink any ordinary man, but thank goodness he is no ordinary man, and therefore. it is, that he is capable of rising above the calumny that envious scribes bestow upon him. It is a pity, but- pity it: is. but too true, that men should be found capable,f‘or the sake of the pay of a dolâ€" lar or two a' column, to sink their man- hood in abusing their fellowâ€"creatures upon either side of politics, but such is the fact. They are willing to write down toâ€"morrow what they had written up but yesterday, andthe public who read articles inspired by such pens, canâ€" not be blamed if they value them but lightly and pass them by as not the true opinions of an honest mind. Wmmmum The Budget Speech. Canada’s? Credit“ Importers in Toronto and Montreal, especially of dry goods and iron, are up in arms against some of ,the changes in the tarifi'. Any and all changes are bound to crowd some interest or otherâ€" ifi they did not; they would not be effec- tive in the direction of the encourageâ€" mentofi home industries, which is one of the main reasons of'tlie tariffs exist- ence; But when the protests of the importers are sifted to the bottom it wills-often be found that the principal ground of oompiaint is that the importer had not been smart enough to clear a lot ‘of his goods before the advance. V There are cases in which changes do inflict hardship on importers, as when. a contract has been taken on the Basis of the tariff remaining undisturbed. or in cases when goods'hnve already been sold but not yet delivered. For instance, some contracts for iron have yet to be filled. and these were made on the old tariff; and some of our dry goods firms have sold large quantities of dress goods that have not yet been made, and which have had the duty on them largely inâ€" creased, In these cases the Government ought to endeavor to meet‘the importers half-way. But, on the whole, advances in the tarifi' come out of the consumer and not out of the importer, and for one instance where an advance causes the importer a loss, there are ninety-nine cases where the importer, by the exer- ciSe of forethought, makes a lot of money out of the increase. Of these cases the ‘public never hear a syllable. The Globe is going into hysterics over tliese changes and the losses they entail on importers; before the public accept its liowlings.

The Park was not forgotten either, as some forty trees were planted there. HOME RULEâ€"For many years it has been the custom of the Ladies of the Presbyterian Church to hold a Concert on the evening of the 24th of May, and there can be no question that the high standard to which entertainments havel been raised in this village is due, in large‘ 1measure to their efiorts. The rapid advancement in literary and musical circles which characterizes the “ Queen City ” of our country, to which we are in close proximity. has been reflected to our own village, and the Concert to be held in the Presbyterian Church will overcome all opposition, and give no un- certain sound on the Home Rule issue of this village. We have never been in the habit of‘ instituting comparisons with nor casting reflections upon entertain.- ments purporting to be of a similar nature as our own, though possibly they ‘ may not have arrived at that degree of excellence to which we would wish to see concerts maintained in this village. This is a progressive period in our history. Our inhabitants should be considered as possessing sufiicient intelligence to think for themselves and to decide on the reâ€"- spective merits of the talent which is oflered for their entertainment. Pachy- dermatous non vertebrath animals should alone be dictated to, and for such, coer-- cion may havea semblance of justice. The mission of U’Bri en may possibly injure the cause of Ireland, but that freedom of thought, liberty of speech and action are the birth-right of a free- born citizen cannot be called in question. We are a loyal people and because we are such we accord to every man the privilege of forming and expressing an opinion All our talent comes highly recommended.

These two are, unâ€" doubtedly the best drawing clubs that could be brought to town. The clubs who are to play here throughout the season are all good; But. they do not inâ€" terest. Orillians nearly as much as the two mentioned. At (lie end of the seaâ€" son, perhaps one team will be as interest- ing as another to us The Orillias will have a very prosperous season."
