LINDSAY, FRIDAY, MAY 3.13..â€" HAGGAR’I ’S BITCH. gullitlx p.13,- Clznnicrr, April 27.: The Tay canal, known as “Haggart’s ditch,” does not appear to be developing much trailic. The revenue receipts for the year ended June 30th, 1894, amount- ed to the magnificent total of 5126, against 51353.70 in the previous year. No doubt the tratlic of this important arti. ficial waterway has been seriously affected by the depression. The cost of the main- tenance and management last year amounted to 52,485, against $2,480 in the previous year. The minister of railways and canals must have adopted and enforced heroic measures of economy in order to save that dollar. The ditch whose trellic and manage- ment give the abr-ve astounding results oust the people of Canada $470,125.73, and that sum forms part of our enormous public debt of $315,000,000. The Tay canai is now and never will be of any value to anybody except John Graham Haggart. The money expended in its construction is gone beyond recall. It might inst as well have been thrown into Lake Superior. Would it not be a good idea to hand the “ditch” over as a free gift to Mr. Haggart on condition that he bear the cost of maintenance and manage- ment? The people of Canada will save $2,350 a year by the operation. This expenditure of nearly half a million dollars on the useless Tay canal is one of the many swindlesâ€"we use the term “swindle" advisedlyâ€"called “public works” which have swallowed up so many millions of dollars that now form part of our public debtâ€"-useless public works on which the money was expended for the double purpose of corruptly influencing constituencies and providing the means through trusty contractors of keeping an ample supply of boodle in the govern- ment’s corruption fund. In the last six- teen years millions of dollars have been uselessly and corruptly expended so that contracts might be “milked" to replenish the government’s election fund, and with the money drawn in this roundabout way from the public treasury the government have been able to purchase the support of the venisl portion of the electorate and thus overpower the honest public senti4 ment of the country. The, government did so in 1887 and 1891; and theyisre “laying their pipes” to do the same thing in 1895. Will the people of Canada sub- mit to any more swindling of this kind? # EDITORIA L .N 0 TBS. Betty Green, the richest woman in New York, has escaped $30,000 taxes on her $1,500,000 personalty'by swearing that she is homeless and without any settled place of abode. Hetty is shrewd, but she gets very little comfort out of her immense fortune. The British naval and military votes for 1804 aggregated £1,107,790, about $199, 794,734. Canada’s military outlay last year was about $1,500,000. In any estimate of the comparative taxation of Great Britain and Canada the fact that Britain has nearly $0,000,000 to pay for purposes entirely outside of any Canadian require ments should be taken into consideration. In 14 the British revenue was $1,133,- 409, or roughly, £50,000,000, after deduct- the war budget. Taking the it as $5. to facilitate computation, the taxation direct expenditure last year was $37,585.05, to which must be added a little #301.“ increase in the net debt. which been against the taxpayer, but he must yet pay, with inmost, cs ecr’sexpenses.

[To the Editor of Tint Postal SlR,â€"I have just seen the printed sllp handed around by the assessors to those who are chargeable for income or personal prcparty. The putting an lmpast on these items is ridiculous and urj net the way the law is carried out. There is one absurdity, however. In the list of things called per- sonal property that deserves mention. This ls book debts. If a man has book debts he is supposed to pay taxes on them this year as personal property. If he collects them next year he pays taxes on them as income, that is, he pays taxes on them when they mean nothing and are only a claim, as well as when the become a material tangible thing. but do Messrs. Conolly and Spler think of this absurdity? Surely these intelligent men had nothing to do in the construction at this precious sheet-Yours, Ixcoma. Bread Goes Up in Price. [To the Editor of Tun P051 1 Sm,â€"â€"I notice that at least some of our local bakers have increased the price cf bread from 0: to 123â€"3 straight jump cf 33 per loaf. The explanation offered far this sudden rise is that flour has gone up slightly. For the past year flour has been away down in price, but. our lccsl bakers have kept bread at about the same tiger, and it is safe to say that if flour was sell- ing at $2.00 per barrel they would still ask 10c per 41b loaf. But let flnur take a slight jump in price and the news hardly reaches Lindsay be t are up uses the price of bread. How is 1’: that bread is always varying in price? Ten cents per 41*. last should pay the year round. Butchers don’t always pay the same price 1 Jr cattle. yet the prlce of meat very seldom vsri s; to-da they are paying very much more for stoc than they were a few months ago, yet the price of steak and roasts are the same, and the $211“? of meat is kept up to the standard. hat is the matter!

The stock markets in London were quiet yesterday with a firm tone. In Chicago there was a good demand for cattle and the market was swinger. Trade in boss was dimppclntlnmtbe sup- ply being large and the demand mufflers out. Prices were 6 to 100 lowvor. The sheep market was slow. Wheat was lowur on realization sales, the close being 1” to 1%: lower than yesterday. Corn was inactive and closed 96 to M0 lower. The New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin in its weekly review of the dry goods market says: There has been a considerable aggregate business done since last review. but the latter part of the week has shown quieter conditions prevailing than during the early days. There is no diminution of strength in the general tone of the cotton division. In the main staple do- nts there is a well-clenned-up con- whlch affords buyers fewer op. portunltles to secure ready supplies than usual, and so many are heavily sold ahead that agents are in a position to hold for their prices. In printed lines the tend. ency is decidedly against buyers in regu- lar prints, and in a number of finer goods, under the influence of advancing prices for gray cloths, the prospects of n gener- ally higher rnnge of values in the coming season are decidedly encouraging. There has been no new feature of importance in the woolen zoods department. Lindsay mrlct PRIOR.- Red Fife Wheat .................... GooseWhmt....... ........ .
