They pre fer the glad hand which did so much, Mi. hahee says, for the late Sir John Macdonald. According to the Mail something about to happen. Not a doubt of it. It will be a vepetition of what bas happened at every election in Ontario during the last thirty years. The Ontario opposition is very se vere upon Mr. Dryden, because he is connected with 4 ranch in North Da kota. Bat not a word is said about Mr. Crawlord, ox-M.P.P., Toronto, who is vice-president of the same company. How is that! The promise of Mr. Whitney, that he will repenl the act which taxes the rich corporations for revemue pur poses, is regarded' as a bid for their support and sympathy. His party wants funds. Will the rich corpora tions not advance them ?

Inspector Hughes, of Toronto, leaves a plitee and a salary of 83,300 5 year to engage wholly in literary and lec ture work. He is said to have been nagged out of office, but the nagging does not seem to have aflected him much when he already has in hand work enough to occupy his time for the next three years. The Tory, before "to "We want," said the election campaign began, show the people of Ontario that the conservative party is still capable of conceiving great ideas, still capable of engineering great enterprises." The party, however, has entered the cam- paign without a platiorm, and is fighting a losing battle, -- Col. Denidhn is in England amd telling the people there how they should fix the tariff.

What has the opposition or the government in Ontario to do with an export duty ? That is the ques tion to which Mr. Carscallen should give his mind before he next talks up: on this subject.

You know how Mr. Marter was obliged to leave his party because he could not agree with its development policy. That is, he found his party had no development policy. He wanted de velopment, and New Ontario advan cert, and be left his party. That is 8 clear ease of desertion because the party was upprogressive.

That is what we are trying to do. constriative to Tax On Corporations. The premier explained the tax corporations, and the parties tudes to it. Last year, ho said, the banks of Ontario, with assets of £215,000,000, were taxed $43,479, or u tax of about one dollar on every 85.000 of the assets, gr one-fifth of a mill on the dollar. A farmer with a farm pasessed at $5,500 would pay at Jest #30 of an assessment. Why should not the capitalist who has in- vested his money in bank stock also contribute something for maintaining the institutions of the country, as well as the agriculturist ¥ The theory of government is-that the bur den of taxation should rest mainly on the wealthier classes. Owr banks pay usually' a dividend of eight per dent, the security of their investment is largely owing to the contributions of the government in protecting pro perty and jin developing the resources of the country. Why should they not contribute something to that pros perity in which they share so largely ? Then, if we turn to the insurance companies, we find that they have been prosperous very largely from tue same cause. io assets of the Can ada Life, as an illustration, are given at $22,000,000. The revenues tax on this company last year was $11,395, or a tax of one dollar upon every £2,000 of its assets, or ome-twentivth of one per cent. This certainly is mot a heavy burden for a company whose wecurity depends upon the prosperity of the whele peopl. Mr. Whitney savs that this tax bt ultimately on atu the pre- wim for an ordisary -alllife policy "of 81.000 at thirty vears of age in the Canada Life was $22.55. Som. J vius x DASEES.
