All the elite of St. Clements â€" and surrounding country were there. There were some farmers there, too; also some fakirs. George and the Alderman went up from ‘Berlin to see the show. They were part of the elite of the surrounding country. The fakirs played a game where a marble in a slot was the machine used. The fakirs and cappers, The cappers won big money. The young farmers watched the game. _ When they were induced to try their game, And lost big money. George . and the Alderman were watching these proceedings.

LITT Toronto News: Prof. Mavor of Toâ€" ronto University, said that the . acâ€" tion of . the . Britishâ€"Government would â€" not come as: a surprise, . i view of the fact that Sir Robert Giffin had been â€" writing letters to The Times, pointing out the necésâ€" sity of a better balance of taxation, recommending indirect taxation. Sit Robert Giffin was Mr. Gladstone‘s financial adviser and is Secretary of the Government Department of the English _ Board of Trade. ‘"Hitherâ€" to," said Prof. Mavor, "the war taxes have all practically been placed on the income, and the middle tax has been taxed severely by successâ€" ion duties and war tax. An inctease just now in the income tax to, say, cighteen pence, would have resulted in the rebellionâ€" of all the middle class supporters of the Government And since the duty on tobacco . and spirits are at their maximum, if not really exhibiting a tendancy to deâ€" cline, the area of possible taxation on & large scale was very much reâ€" strictéd. There were only two alâ€". ternatives for the Government, eithâ€" er to postpone the whole of the war deficit, orâ€" to meet it or part of it out of indirect taxation. The Chanâ€" cellor has met the deficit to the exâ€" tent of £5,000,000 out of the inâ€" creased taxation, and has postponed the balance of £32.000,000. ‘‘The reimposition of the registraâ€" tion duty upon wheat, which was abolished when Mr. Low was Chanâ€" cellor of the Exchequer, at a time of great prosperity in England, is in one uu; not a return to a |:ll'ot-ct- ive tarif, although many will, no doubt, gee it in the thin edge of the wedge.

L. WING the ministers alone For church building a sum excéed: ing $2,000 was pledged, mainly by the price of bread owing to comâ€" petition and that, therefore, the tax will fall upon the bakers and not upon the customers, seems open to grave doubt. The baking business in London, for instance, is in the hands of a small number of very large firms and they may be able to . inâ€" . crease the price by an amount evenâ€" more than the tax. It would thereâ€" fore, probably have given rise to a greater cost to the consumer and probably no greater opposition from any quarter, if the Chancellor had imposed a duty of sixpence instead of threepence, on a hundred pounds« of grain. . As it is, a combination.. among the bakers may result in an increase in the price of bread out of proportion to the amount of the tax. ‘‘Also, if it had been intended â€" to prepare the. way for a preferential duty _ to «the colonies in June it would have been expedient to have made the duty higher, because if~ a preference is given to the colonies the revenue will be deminished and the remaining amount would hardly make it worth while to have lllm ed it. If they had imposed a of sixpence instead of threepence to would not have made any more difâ€" ference to the consumer, and it would have given them a chance to extend a preference of some ITn- ance to the colonies. If there is & good wheat crop in the United States next year and a surplus of product to be imported to Europe, the American farmer will necessarily have to submit to the payment â€" of ?l. ‘i:‘y't;: m‘=u would view 5: a small affair. ‘The preference fot Canâ€" adian wheat would really be only two cents a bushel." enue, but for statistical purposes, and was abolished about 1871.
