Not until an autopsy was performed upon him, at the City Hospital last Wednesday, was it known he had been wounded. The skin over the breast bone, which was perced by the knife, had apparently healed, but the puncture in the sterâ€" num showed that the man had been stabbad. Barrett was 24 years of age.

C. P. R. Embarks in a Big Scheme in Montreal. Montreal, May 19. â€" Another big deal has just been consummated, by which the C. P. R. will secure conâ€" trol of the abattoir interests. The deal in question is, in short, the control of tlie stock of the Union Abattoir Company, which corporation is owner of both the East and Westâ€" end abattoirs, and a project for the development of the cattle business in all its branches in this connection never before attempted in Canada. The fallacy of this idea must cause a smile to many Americans who were themsclves deluded by it through one campaign after _ anâ€" other until a mountaim of proof opened their eyes to the ridiculousâ€" ness of the pretense that a tax laid upon imported goods would be paid by the foreign _ seller. How familiar is the sound of that inâ€" sistently â€" declared _ humbug which even the most rabid of American protectionists have abandoned beâ€" cause the people at last have laughed it down. Such taxes are paid by the consumers of the artiâ€" cles taxed, always have been, and always will be. The tax on flour and grain imported into England will be paid by those who eat bread in Ergland, and no kind of sophisâ€" try can alter the fact. But the British Government has refused to abandon the bread tax, for the relief of the poor class, alâ€" though it has let up on the extra tax of a penny on cheques. In statâ€" ing the position of the Government, Sir William Vernon Harcourt havâ€" ing moved that "the House declines to Empose duties on grains, flour and other food of the people," the Chancellor of the Exchequer dwelt upon the necessity for America to send its products to Great Britain. ‘This country must send its wheat there because of the protective duties â€" elsewhere, and he _ beâ€" lieved that "the producers and carâ€" riere of graft would pay the new tax if there was a bg crop." HAVE LEARNED THEIR LESSON. (Buffalo Courier.). Free Trade Engiand having imâ€" posed some unusuai taxes under the strain of necessity for war reveâ€" nue, among thelP is one on grain and flour, which has excited bitter opposition. It brings to the public mind the oldâ€"time struggle for ‘ the abolition of the corn laws, with its accompanying riots . and distress, and is resented by many as indicatâ€" ing a disposition for returning to systems of,taxation which bore more heavily upon the poor than later and more enlightened methods | of revenue production.
