D BLOUGH A PMTEOTIONIST FALLACY- One other point is worth noting with regard to this increased volume of imports. It has always been a favorite contention with the ultra-pro- tectionist, that an increase in imports must necessarily be detrimental to home industries, indeed it is upon that fallacy that the Whole theory of pro- tection is constructed ; but a complete answer was given to this by the ex- perience of the past three years. This tremendouaincrease of $44,000,000 has been co-incident with a development of home industries unequalled in the history of the Dominion. New fac- tories have been springing up on all hands, those largely in existence have been increasing their capacity, skilled and unskilled labor is more and more in demand, wages have been going up in every direction and the masses of the people have more money to spend than they ever had before. These are facts which require no statistical de- monstration. .I‘hey are proved by the personal ex erience of the peopleâ€"the only kind ’0 proof which will be ac- cepted as conclusive and satisfactory. AN OLD FAMILIAR FRIEND. Another old familiar friend in the way of political yarns has reappeared in the s ape of a story of whiskey per- mits surreptitiously granted in the Yukon, A gentleman named Marks, described as “ the Klondike corresponâ€" dent of the London (Eng.) Financial News,” is alleged to .have declared that whiskey permits to a very conâ€" siderable amount have been granted by the Government " to its arty, friends," with the result that, “ a-W- son will have a. big whiskey trust this three million dollars more than the actual receipts. which is irrefutable evidence that the tax upon the people had been cut down rather than 111- creased; in fact Mr. Foster’s own re- solution, submitted to the House on prorogation day, admitted that the {aterlhad been reduced from 18.28 to .5 . Another interesting fiction in con- nection with the financial conditions of the country is that taxation has been increased, and in proof thereof the fact is pointed to that the Customs revenue has increased 25 per cent in the past three years, last year’s figures being $25,000.000 as against $20,000,000 in 1995-96. Thus increase is not due to increased taxation in the shape of higher duties, and the Government’s financial critic’s are erfectly well aware .of that fact. ‘he increase is due to the immense development in the trade of the country. The case is exactly parallel to that of a merchant who finds at the end of his business year his profits have increased 25 per cent over the previous year, the result of a greater volume of trade. No one would claim for a moment in such a. case that this increased profitwas se- cured by utting up the price of his goods. he volume of trade of the Dominion has increased by tens of millions of dollars until last year the imports were $152,000,000 as against $118,000,000 in 1896. The simple fact is that the duty upon these imports, taking them all round, has decreased, for had the rate of taxation which re- vailed in 1896' been in operation ast year, the Customs recei ts would have amounted" to $23,785, , or_ nearly Total . . . . . . . . . . $ 6,958,965 The estimated increase in the net debt is taken from the speech of Mr. Fielding, Minister of Finance, who on the closing day of the session said he expected when full returns were forth- coming, the net increase would be found to be very little over one mill- ion. The estimate of the expenditure on canals for last year is based on the appropriation voted for that year, less the amounts revoted. this year. The up-shot of the comparison is seen to be that. the Laurier Government have spent over nine millions of dollors on the enlar ement of the canal system alone, w ich the addition to the national debt in the period covered by these expenditures is less than seven millions. That looks like the work of business men working on a. business plan.” Total ... ... . . . .$ 9,643,265 In the same eriod the net debt of the Dominion as been increased by the following sums : 1897 . . . . . . ‘ . . . . . . . . . $ 3,041,163 1898 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2,417,802 1899 (estimated) . . . . 1,500,000 The following statement of fact with reference to the much discussed ques- tion of the public debt is taken from The Montreal Herald and should be carefully studied by all who are hon- estly desirous of understanding the truth: I “ Since the Liberals came into power the following amounts have been ex ended on improvements on the cane. s of the Dominion, the sums being chargeable to capital account :â€"- 1897 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 2,341,016 1898 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,207,249 1899 (estimated) . . . . 3,500,000 Our Ottawa Letter.

During the past seven years, the Dawson’s Golden Chaff has been an exceedingly p0 ular variety with the farmers who ave been conducting these co-operative experiments throughout Ontario. DISTRIBUTION OF SEED. The following two sets of winter wheat varieties will be sent free, b mail in one half pound lots of eac variety, to farmers applying for them, who will carefully test the three kinds in the set which they choose, and will report the results after harvest next year. The seed will be sent out in the order in whioh the applications are re- ceived‘ as long as the‘sppplny lasts.L Set 1. Dawé’on’s Golde‘h‘fldhifii Early GEMS? giant, EMEYBed Qlavzsaon; Set 2.

The Sbewért‘s Champion and Dawson’s Golden Chaff were the most popular varieties and the Golden Drop was the least popular variety with the expcrilnentet's in 1899. 8. The‘Stewax-t’s Cham ion and Dawson’s Golden Chaff pro need the lumpest and Imperial Amber and amly Red Clawson the most shrunk- en gregép in jhis year’s Eqsts. 1. In the average ield of winter Wheat per acre the awson Golden Chafi stood highest among 11 varieties tested over Ontario in the year 1893, among 9 varieties in each of the years 1894, 1895 and 1896, and among 7 varie- in each of the years 1897, 1898, and 2. In the co-operative experiments for 1899, the Stewart’s Champion, Bearded Winter Fife and Dawson’s Golden Chaff came through the Win- ter the best, and the Golden Drop the poorest. 3. The Early Red Clawson and Im~ erial Amber were the first and the carded Winter Fife, and Dawson’s Champion were the last to mature in 4. Dawson’s Golden Chaff and the Early Genesee Giant possessed the strongest straw and the Bearded Win- ter Fife the weakest straw in the tests of thing year. _ 5. Stewart’s Champian and Bearded Winter Fife produced longest and the Golden Drop shortest: straw in 1899. 6. In the co-operative experiments of each of the past six years, the Daw- son’s Golden Ohaff was one of the least and the Early Genesee Giant was on_e of. the mosgafl’ecpeq by rust. 7. In 1899, all varieties“ were prac- tically free from smut which is nearly always the case when no smut is sown with the wheat. winter that will have liquor up to a. dollar a glass.” Another version of the same story apparently is that Mr. Houston of Dawson, who is now at the Capital, has secured a. permit to take 40,000 gallons of whiske into the Yukon. It scarcely requifie the de- nial of the Minister of the Interior to assure the country that these state- ments were entirely Without founda- tion, but as the denial has been given the public will have little difficulty, in view of the developments in Parlia- ment last session, in deciding, which is most worthy of credence.
