To get a clear conception of Mr. Drury"s position is to feel something of the embarrassment that must con- front him when he goes to the coun- try as'a farmers' premier, forced into the position of conducting a bitter class war. of all | | caption over an editorial in a Chicago | ®!

The sectional and class appeal is obnoxious to him for he knows that, no matter what the organization may do, It 1s not the proper thing for the premier of this province to go before the people as a narrow class-conscious bigot who denies the political rights of two-thirds of the electors. As a statesman he knows that such an at- titude is incompatible with the ele- mentary principles of democracy and he cannot attain greatness until hs becomes reconciled to courses that will entitle him to the support of the people irrespective of class aftilia- tions. The position of J. J. Morrison, an the other hand, is altogether different. He is not responsible to the people for his conduct, being but a sort of party boss, and it is natural for him to put up a struggle for the life of the U.F.O., which is in a strong posi- tion for a contest. It is just a ques- tion, however, whether the farmers can retain the dominant position they now occupy.

The directory gives the exact location of each town in its relation to other centres of importance, the Jailroads and waterways by which it is served; the telegraph, banking and express facilities; the public build- ings; the chief industries and the various occupations in which the peo- ple of the town engage.

Ottawa, Aug. 17.--Indications of returning prosperity are furnished by increasing federal revenues, and the success of the new stamp taxes as money makers {is being demon- strated early. Although the tax nus been in operation only a fortnight, revenue from this source has goue as high as $1,600,000 in a day. This figure is inordinate and ts at. tributable to firms ér compames paying in one day for the embossing of their cheques for a month, thus obviating the necessity of affixing stamps. An ordinary day's receipts from the stamp tax, however, are around half a million. How it works out is exemplified by comparing a single day in July with one in August. On July 15th, pe. fore the new levy came into effect, the receipts were around $280,000 On the corresponding day of August they amounted to $590,000. It win not be surprising if the month's rev. enue from this source aggregatés $15,000,000, with prospects of fur ther increases, because August is a dull mont commercially apd the op- eration of the law has not yet ac- quired its "swing." Simultaneously customs receipts are going up. Those for July show- ed an Increase of over $3,000,000 compared with the corresponding month, while the August increase promises to be more marked again. The estimate will be exceeded. Likewise, in regard to income and business profits revenue it is appar. ent that the estimate of $60,000,000 is well within the mark. From thid source $51,000,000 has already baen collected in four months, the propor- tion being $45,000,000 from income and $6,000,000 from business pre- fits. The latter tax has expired and collections are in the nature of ola At things keep up'at the present rate the financial showing at the end of the year will be exceedingly fav. orable, especially if expenditures are kept in check and the railway shor. age within bounds.
