Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper.

NELSON, B. C, SATURDAY CORNING, APRIL 20, 1901 ^M. PRICE FIVE CENTS NELSON WHOLESALE TRADE SHIPMENTS DURING THE WEEK NUMEROUS, BUT SMALL. n Wholesalers and Retailers do a Conservative Business, and Look for Better Times in Kootenay. The wholesale business during the past week was anything but brisk, yet merchants take a philosophical view of the situation, and say that while things are dull a spirit of caution is commendable. Orders as a rule aro short, but they are numerous, as will be seen from the appended list of shipments since Monday last. While there is not that exaggerated degree of prosperity for which many looked ab the opening of the twentieth century, there is nevertheless a taudency to avoid doubtful speculation and to conduct business on sound business principles. The men on tlie road for the local wholesale houses are evidently doing their work well, seeing that points so near active eastern competition as Revelstoke and Fernie are successfully covered. Monoy is reported tight, nevertheless old customers experience no difficulty in getting all the reasonable credit they ask for. Newcomers started in with a good bank account, and so loug as they are in a position to meet their obligations their custom will be catered to. New towns aud camps are opening up iu all directions and whenever an opportunity for business offers, there will be found a- represeutative of a Nelson wholesale house. Some of the older settlements have fallen away for . the time being,' but new ones are opening up to take their., place on the wholesalers' list. During the week, for instance, there have been \"shipments to Michel���a new mining town on the line of the Crow's Nest Pass railway, while Ferguson, Trout Lake City and other points - in the Lardeau country are springing into prominence in consequence of railway construction and the development of the rich mineral resources of that section. That the volume of trade is somewhat disappointing all the wholesalers agree, but then they look hopefully on the future, and are content that each individually is receiving a fair proportion of the patronage that offers. Starkey ��fc Co. report a good week in the provision trade. Their man has beeu on the road and is sending iu very acceptable orders. Siuce Monday last they have '.v shipped to Trail, Revelstoke, Sandon, Eholt, Fernie, Ymir, Rpssland ^and^New^Iienver.^The^resumption^ of work on the Bosiin at the latter poiut has had its effect on trade. ������''��� Cholditch & Co. speak of business as quiet. Nevertheless they shipped during the week to Greenwood, Cranbrook, Phoenix, Moyie, Ferguson, Rossland, Ymir, Midway, Fernie, Trail, Lardo, New Denver, and Slocan City. The mattress factory has more to do ��� than it can attend to. The company, of course, enjoy a mont. opoly in the Kootenays in their particular line. Their shipping points during the week were Trail,. Greenwood, Phoenix, Rossland, Moyie aud Cranbrook. The Nelson Saw & Planing Mill Company are busy, but not worked to their full capacity. Within the past few. weeks they have sent out some large shipments to Lardo, for construction work, also to Bonning- tou Falls, Arrowhead and Grand Forks. Building operations are slow, but if half the number of plans now on paper in the local architects' offices are put into lumber or brick, the season will be a busy one. L. ������������-. Macdonald & Co. have sent out goods since Monday last to Grand Fork*, Cascade City, Rock Creek, Anaconda, Greenwood, Kitchener, Ainsworth, Slocan Junction, New Denver, Creston, Fire Valley, Robson, Slocan City, Gladstone, Columbia and Ymir. The general rule was, however, small orders. W. F. Teetzel & Co., druggists and assayers' supplies, report business quiet. Their shipping points during the week were Trail, Rossland, Slocan City, Salmo, Kimberley, Grand Forks, Phoenix and Greenwood. E. Ferguson & Co., wines, liquors ��ud cigars, have had a busy week, their shipping points being Hall's Siding, Ymir, Erie, Waneta, Slocan City, Rosebery, New Denver, Sandon, Grand Forks, Midway, Greenwood, Robson, Columbia, Rossland, Trail, Ferguson and Kitchener. The California Wine Co. have done a good business in the Lardeau country during the week and also shipped to Moyie, Robson, Fernie, Cranbrook, Kimberley, Ainsworth, Arrowhead, Comaplix, Thompsons Landing, Trout Lake City, Ferguson, Nakusp, Ymir, Erie and Silverton. J. Y. Griffiu & Co. have shipped since Monday last to Slocan, Sandon, Eholt, Midway, Rossland, Cranbrook, Grand Forks, Fernie, Moyie, Trail, Phoenix, Robson, Windermere, Columbia, New Denver, Whit-^^tgr, Erie, Creston, Alamo, KaSS^gSSitepV'X. Granite, Cascade, W^^MfW^iBp^ Bay and Michel.\"TtfiSSSg^ffinch recently added to the business, is reported as doing well. The Brackman-Ker Co., handling flour and feed, have done a good week's business. Their shipping points were Creston, Robson, Waneta, Fire Valley, Greenwood, Kaslo, Ymir, Ainsworth, Sandon, Lardo and New Denver. The Kootenay Supply Co. have a lot of goods ready for shipment, but as from other houses, small lots are the order of the day. The shipping points for the week, were Slocan City, Kaslo, Creston, Robson, Kimberley, Phoenix, Grand Forks, Eholt, Moyie, Ymir, Salmo, Erie, Pilot Bay, Crawford Bay, Cranbrook, Whitewater, and Porto Rico Siding. H. J. Evans & Co. filled orders since Monday last from Waneta, Lardo, New Denver, Ymir, Trail and Rossland. \"Business dull, but we get our full share of it,\" is the report on the week's operations. A. B. Gray, representing R. P. Rithet & Co. and the Express Cigar Co., shipped to Trail, Rossland, Kaslo, Slocan, Sandon and Ymir. The Kootenay Cigar Co. have been busy supplying local demands as well as sendiug their favorite weeds to - Blairmore, Robson, Phoenix, Pilot B.iy and Nakusp. Turner, Beeton & Co 'f have had a\" very quiet week, but had consignments for Ymir, Erie, Slocan ' City, Greenwood, Phoenix, Grand Forks, Robson, Trout Lake City, Ferguson, Porto Rico, Granite Siding, Alamo, Fernie aud Moyie. Happy Though Quarantined. A letter received in the city yesterday from one of the five Nelson footballers quarantined \"in Cranbrook announces that the party are in good health aud spirits, and are becoming experts at the game of quoits, which they play on the roof of the hotej in whieh they are held. All have been vaccinated, but are still able to use the right' arm freely. There are 35 suspects in the Cosmopolitan, all of whom are longing for release. The Nelson contingent have entered a vow =not^to=play=ball=-in==any=distriet= where there is the slightest suspicion of smallpox. . Arrival of the Goodrow Family. The Goodrow barge7 was towed into Nelson yesterday from Crawford bay, with seven members of the family. The barge is tied up at the ice-house wharf, and will probably remain there until the release of the head of the' family, who is now undergoing a term of imprisonment in \" the Provincial Jail; When Mrs. Goodrow and the young Goodrows were last in Nelson the city and provincial authorities subscribed to get them back to Crawford Bay on the understanding that they were to remain there. The First of the Season. The first rifle practice of the Rocky Mountain Rangers will be held at Fairview range today. Owing to several minor repairs to the targets, shooting .will not commence until about 2l p. in. Arms and ammunition may be obtained at the armory between 12 and 12:30, and rifles must be returned between 0 aud 6:30, as the company is recruited to full strength aud every piece will be required for weekly drills. - '. \" ' , Morris Tubes to Hand The officers of No. 2 company, Rocky Mountain Rangers, were notified yesterday that two Morris tubes had been shipped from militia stores at Victoria for the use of the local militiamen. These tubes are to be inserted in the barrels of Lee-Enfield rifles, thereby reducing the bore. No. 22 short cartridges are used, and by this means rifle practice is possible indoors during the winter season. DEBATING IHE REFINERY BONDS Champions of the Stall-Farmers Talk Against It. Victoria, April 19.���[Special to The Tribune.]���On Tuesday last the silver-lead question held the floor of the legislative assembly. The discussion was very interesting, but chiefly as illustrating the level of intelligence maintained on subjects pertaining to mining by many of the lawmakers of British Columbia. A motion was moved recommending to the serious consideration of tho provincial government the propriety of granting a bonus of $5 a ton on pig lead produced and refined in the province. This motion was ruled out of order because it dealt with a money question, as its mover had undoubtedly expected it would be, because he had placed on the order paper, at the same time, a motion which read as follows: Wlioreas lead mining In British Columbia has grown into a most important industry, giving employment to a lar^e number of men at high wages, supporting the population of an extensive area in the Kootenay districts, and adding much to tho general prosperity of the\"country; and Wheroas the increase and development of the industry are certain under favorable conditions, which conditions mainly depend on the miners being able to get their ore smelted at a reasonable chargo for freight and treatment; and Whereas the demand for these lead ores by smelters in the United States has almost ceased, and the capacity of the smellers now operating In llritish Columbia is totally inadequate to treat the output of these mines, some of which have already lessened their output and others have\"closed down on account of this difficulty; and Whereas no means of refilling bass bullion exists today in Canada, thereby necessitating the shipment to United States refineries of the lead products of Canadian smelters, and a much higher>ate for refining lead than formerly is now being demanded by the American smelting \"and reflnlrg trust; and . .-Whereas there is no tendency observable' to .Increase >the\" smoltlng;.capacily in'\" the. districts now suffering, while the danger of having to pay excessive rates for refining continues; and Whereas the establishment of a lead refinery readily accessible to tho load-producing districts would undoubtedly lead tothe erection of more furnaces, and thus afford the lead-mining industry the relief it now so urgently stands in need of: Therefore, bo it Resolved, That an humble address bo presented ,to his honor, tho lieutenant governor, requesting him to communicate with the Dominion government that the establishment of a lead refinery in an accessible portion of Canada is the surest and best means of fostering and encouraging tho lead-mining industry of British Columbia, and reapectfuily urging upon thatgovernment that to aid this industry and ^assist it until fully established a bounty be granted for five years of ?5 per ton of pig lead, the product from ores mined, smelted and refined in Canada. Be it further Resolved, That if a bounty be granted, thegovernment should retain the power of interfering in case more than fair and profitable rates were charged. The ��� cliscussion Tyhich followed was by ho means a unanimous explanation and endorsation. of, the resolution according to the lights of the varioussmemb'ers who^ spoke,. It was carried; it \"is true, with, only one dissentient \"voicje\" (Mr. Oliver of- Delta voted against it), but it, was, attacked, pooh poohed, and the necessity of * a* -bonus denied by -Messrs. Martin, Brown and Oliver, three of the leading lights of the opposition. Their attitude placed- Smith Curtis in a very awkward position., So he^gqfc up and informed the house that he knew what was the matter with the' silver-lead, industry, and would enlighten the people, generally on the subject on another,opportunity. He wound iip, however, .by saying he would vote for the resolution. Green, Houston aud McBride made good speeches on the subject. Houston made a particularly good speech. John Houston as an orator is a decided novelty. He speaks in a loud voice, uses short, incisive sentences, and jerks out a bit of' dry humor occasionally that always catches his audience. For instance, in this debate the question turned ���why, an all-wise providence and Joseph Martin alone know���on the comparative merits of farming and mining. Houston said the farmers were crying for a railway to Kootenay in order to market their produce, with'whom? the miner. That is where mining helps farming. \"I maintain,\" he continued, \"that the miner has done7 the farmer' more good than all other individuals put together ��� politicians ' included.\" The emphasis-with which this entirely unexpected ��climax- was directed at the' front\" opposition .benches set theJiQuse^ip,a^r,oar._, In two words Houston had, raised, the picture of the oily-tongned politician working the farmer, .with smooth words, while the miner was eating all the beef and cabbages he could raise, and applied it to the men who had been trying- to make capital with the farming interest as against the mining. Of course apart from mere incidents of debate like tliat, there was nothing in any of the speeches in favor of the resolution noc perfectly familiar to everyone in Kootenay. But it was different, very different, with the speeches made criticizing it. The present government may not be very enlightened in mining matters, but may the mining industry long be spared a government with Martin, Brown and Oliver as its shining lights I Martin got up and said that as a free trader-\\~he, objected to - bounties. However,, asf the Dominion government were giving bounties for the manufacture of steel, he did not see why a, similar industry in British Col- unibia should not get a bounty also. That was all right. But he went on to say that if bounties were going, farming was far more entitled to them than mining. It might be pointed out to Martin that mining in Canada produces $60,000,000 a- year: That of those $60,000,000' probably $50,000,000 are spent on. produce of the. soil\".' ' If that is not in itself a stimulant to farming, what is ?. It was pointed out to him that in creameries, cold storage,, experimental farms; and so forth, the government has spent enormous' sums in bonusing farming, Mr. Brown got up then and' argued, that mining was' detriment tai to a country compared with' farming, because the miner\"took money out of the-ground and impoverished it, whereas the farmer enriched it. It never seemed to occur to Brown that what the miner took out enriched the community at all. His words were \"he put it in his own pocket.\" He also said this bounty would probably cost the country $1,000,000 a year. Imagine 200,000 tons of pig lead produced in Canada in five years ! A man with ideas like that, and so monstrously ignorant of the province's main in- dustry,is simply unfit to be a member of a legislature in a mining country. ' - / * Then followed Oliver, harping on -the same'string, only more'so. The attitude of these three, .gentleman towards,: the mining industry is. ex- actlyjbhe same attitude^hich, was taken'by the Boers to-.th'e'.mining \"industry of the' Transvaal. The people in Kootenay often' 'kick because their- representatives cannot impress-upon the legislature ideas and proposals which are perfectly clear and\" reasonable to them. They kick because they have no conception of what their members have to contenda gainst. A chamber containing Martins, and Browns, aud Olivers, is, from a mining point of view, a chamber of horrors. They might be living in a different planet for all they know or care about mining. It must be confessed that there are a few on the government side also whose usefulness, a little more knowledge and a slightly wider poiut of view on mining matters would not injure. TALKS LIKE AN AMERICAN ^ictdria/cbuld accommodations for the exktaina'tion of the same number of men be found to equal those furnished by Nelson's well known assayers' supply 'firm. The reason for this is that' Nelson has kept pace with the mineral development of the country, and is now the recognized center of the province for assayers* supplies of all kinds.

Houston Charges Smith Curtis With Insincerity and Inconsistency as the Poor Man's Friend. J3ases^in,jChambers,= Victoria, April .19.���[Special'to The Tribune.]���-The provincial revenue tax bill was read a second time today. It provides that the tax be raised from $3 to $5 on and after January 1st, 1902, and then only by an order-in-council. Smith Curtis, of Rossland, spoke against the bill, and read telegrams from trades councils and miners' unions in Kootenay in opposition to the passage of the bill, 'but; he was forced by Houston, of-Nelson, to admit that the telegrams were in every instance in response to communications from him. Houston charged Curtis with insincerity and inconsistency in opposing the bill, saying that he posed as the friend of the poor mau, yet when the government sought to raise taxation by imposing a tax on the income of banks, and insurance, railway, telephone aud electric light and power companies, he was equally vehement in denouncing the. government. The second reading passed by 22 to 11, Tatlow and Garden voting with the Opposition.. Pooley and Martin were absent and Kidd did not vote. P. McL Forin, acting county court judge, heard several cases in chambers yesterday morning. ; The Fairview Lumber Company vs. Elizabeth Rod way et al .came up and was further deferred. The Royal Bank of Canada vs. the Molly Gibson Mining Company, involving some $16,814, was further adjourned by consent.

ASSAWR'S-EXAMINATIONS FIFTEEN MEN TBY FOR NECESSARY CERTIFICATE. Four years ago the firm -Teetzel .Sc- Co. embarked in the assayers, supply business in a small iway, but year afcer year they padded to their stock, in keeping tip with the demands of the trade, until at the present time Nelson can ' boast of having the largest assayers' supply establishment in Canada. There is no assayer's requisite, either in the way of chemicals, chemical . glassware, porcelain ware, crucibles, furnaces or balances which Messrs. Teetzel & Company cannot supply on a moment's notice. To such proportions has their trade in this line grown that im-\" .portations in every case are now made direct from the manufacturers. The chemical glassware comt^ direct from the makers in Germany, crucibles and other clay goods are imported chiefly from England, while the manufacturers in the United States are drawn upon for .their balances and chemicals. This , shows that in assayers supplies, as-in all other, branches of trade, Nelson's merchants are up to date. A Fire That Did Not Flame. - - The fire brigade were rung np shortly before noon yesterday, the call being to the Sherbrooke hotel. When the alarm sounded the only man in the fire hall was Stutter, and he promptly got the horses in harness and drove to * the place designated. The other members of the brigade were, promptly at \"the scene, but their services were .not' called into requisition. \"In raising the hotel building to accommodate the new street grade, the stovepipes in the upper part of the house became, detached . and .filled;,the place -with4 smoke. ,-������ Seeing - this emitting from the\";,r'oofaaud.; npper windowsirthe_ alarm was sonnded.. Investigation proved that no damage was done, aiid in a few.minutes connections were made, and all set right again. Slocan and Incorporation. There was a number of Slocan men iu the city yesterday and they are all talking incorporation. The bill making a city of the burg has passed the legislature and only awaits the official signature to make ifc law. It i.s more than likely that there will be a lively contest foi mayoralty and aldermanic honors. The first mayor will either be A. York, tlie butcher, or D. D. Robertson, the furniture man, the betting at present being in favor of the former. The waterworks question will be the firstjjreat problem the Sewr^iucm'pdrated^town wiiriiave- to face. Rivals That Issued by E. C. Coy Some Years Ago. Nelson Leads the Whole Dominion in the Business of Furnishing Assayer's Supplies. The examination for assayers for licenses to practice in British Columbia, which II. Carmiehael, the ^government examiner has been conducting in Nelson for the past.week, was terminated yesterday. This year the examination took place in the warerooms of W. F. Teetzel & Company, on the corner of Vernon and Josephine streets, which tbe firm fitted up with every requisite and placed at the disposal of the government. There were fifteen- candidates for examination and they made a busy - scene bustling around their improvised laboratory. ; Concerning the results of the examination, Mr. Carmiehael yesterday refused to speak until his re- port'could be forwarded to the provincial authorities, but he added that about half the applicants for licenses had been successful. Mr. Carmiehael, however expressed himself as highly pleased with the accommodations afforded by Messrs. Teetzel & Company for examination, they being all that could be expected and greatly facilitating the work. It is safe to say that nowhere, outside of the government office in Mining Activity at Slocan. The Arlington at Slocan has dropped off the shipping list, not because thero is any scarcity of good ore, but owing to the heavy condition of the roads leading from the mine. Work is going ahead on the Speculator, Tamarac aud Phoenix and yesterday a force of men was engaged for the Ottawa. On Ten-mile creek there is also considerable activity, the Iron Horse, Enterprise and Neepawa being operated. A great season's work is confidently predicted by the mining men of the division. ** Mining Records. The following are the mining transactions recorded yesterday: Certificates for assessment work to J. S. Clute on the Big Two, Bonanza, Nebraska Girl, and Franklin, and to Andrew Burgess on the White Star. There were no transfers, sales or new locations recorded. _^ Lord Roberts' Promotions.

Just what warrant the correspondents have for their story it is difficult at this distance to say; but if the men who compose premier Dunsmuir's cabinet have not sufli- strength to stand off the political road agents who are engineering the V., V. & E. railway charter,, the sooner they go out of the governing business the better it will be for British Columbia. All the geological reports printed do not disturb the fact that,the only coal available from the East Kootenay coal fields is that owned vby the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company of Toronto. Ifc matters very little what' the extent of the coal measures are so long as all that are available are owned by one company, a fact whicli probably explains the eagerness of the Toronto philanthropists to secure their railway charter without conditions. The mineral tax, which is so loudly denounced by the political mine-managers of Kootenay, ��� requires the mines in the Trail Creek mining division to pay $14,223.28 in taxes, while the men who work in the mines, those who are searching for other mines, and those who minister to the wants of the little army of miners and prospectors, pay under five heads of taxation the sum of $39,171.62 in taxes. During the last fiscal year all the ^_big_mines_in_the_Trail_creek_divis^ ion paid to the provincial govern- ment^but $11,223.28 in taxes, while the prospectors paid for their licenses $16,770.15. These figures show how the mineral tax operates. Men who have shipping mines, the only properties giving any return to their owners, pay much less in taxes than the men who have yet their properties to find or develop. Is it not a.trifle strange that the mine-managers of Rossland should do so much kicking over a taxation of $11,223.28 upon their profits, while the mine-workers in Rossland, without complaint, pay $10,09S.OO in poll-taxes for the privilege of laboring in their mines ? Thb difficulty experienced by the Laurier government in securing from the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company an agreement to treat Canadian industries fairly, is rather good evidence that without such agreement Canadian industries would have stood a poor chance of such treatment. Employers Anticipated the Strikers. Oswego, April 19.���The Fulton mills of the American AVooIen Company were closed on telegraphic instructions from headquarters in Andover, Massachusetts, which were received yesterday. Between 1300 and 1500 men aud women lose employment, and the business of tho village of Fulton and O.swego Falls yvill be greatly affected. The com pany gave as a reason for its action that the employees were trying to stir up trouble, and were interfering with the business. This was vigorously denied by the women, who say there was no disposition in tha�� direction, and that the only trouble was with the weavers, who objected to instructing apprentices because they lost time, from their work aud received no pay for the lost time. The weavers proceeded to make formal demands or strike, but other departments were not interested in the plan. Some weeks ago the spinners, who had beeu working from 0:15 a. m. to 6:40 p, m. daily, struck because of long hours and received no concessions. Superintendent Weden decliued absolutely to discuss the situation. Oswego, New York, April 19.���A statement was issued by the weavers this afternoon saying that the trouble had arisen over the employment of non-union men in the upper mill. The weavers in that mill are members 'of the union, and in order to learn a weaving apprentice must, join ��� the union ' and pay $5 to the weaver teaching him the trade. A few days ago a man named Baldwin refused to comply with the union demands. The weaver refused him instructions, and yesterday declined to return to work until Baldwin should be discharged.

Peterson, Robsoo; \" London, April 19.���Taken as a whole, the comments of the country on the proposals of the chancellor of the exchequer, in the budget statement presented yesterday, cannot be regarded as unfavorable. The outstanding feature of, the public's reception of the budget is the outcry from-the coal district?,; and in',, a lesser degree from the business affected by . tl^e sugar taxes.. In coal taxes the export duty is regarded as confirming the idea in spme radical quarters that the government is riding for a. fall, but the\" well informed consider it possible that the chancellor of the exchequer will be induced to exempt from the new duty all contracts made prior .to the day, thus relieving the pressure of the middle men who have bought or sold coal for the future delivery. This, it is believed, will go far to reconcile the coal trade generally to the new imposition, in the meanwhile, however, the opposition of the coal owners is augmenting hourly. The chambers of commerce in the coal districts are protesting in vigorous terms,' the Cardiff porters scent ruin, and their markets being captured by American aud German coal. ' The manufacturers, on the other hand, flatter themselves that the effect of Ihe tax will be to lower prices and lessen competition iu iron and steel. The\" grocers advanced sugar a half peuiiy per pound this morning in London.\" British refined sugars werevery strong, and jumped from two shillings to two shillings and six pence. The Scotch manufacturing and 'pie erve makers advanced the price ��� four shillings and six pence t'otwo'shilliugs and sixpence per: -hittfdi'ed - Aveight, respectively. The Scotch sugar refiners have put on thre*e\" shillings to four shillings, arid have abolished discounts. There was priietically no business today on -the Greenock sugar exchange owing to the extensive buying previous1 to the budget announcements. The president of the Refiners' Association expressed the opinion1 that the tax would work, out benefically. A steamer with a cargo of continental sugar arrived (at Greenock yesterday ovening, after thecustom house closed, and was refused permission ��� to unload. The duty on her cargo amounts to ��2000. The importer claims that the duty on sugar had not been imposed when the steamer arrived, and, therefore, they will contest the payment of the duty. The export' coal business at Cardiff docks was at a standstill \"tollayr^M^iralits^refulM^t^sBip and take the responsibility on the new tax while the colliery owners repudiate any liability. The Scotch exporters of coal are of the opinion that the United States is bound to capture the West. Indian coal market. The ship-owners of Glasgow anticipate that a portion of the duty will come out of their pockets. The comments of the afternoon papers here follow the lead of the morning papers\"geuerally,in anticipating that the more acute tension will soon pass off. The Irish newspapers condemn the income tax H. H. CAMERON AGENT Sole Agents for Giant Powder Company and Truax Automatic Ore Cars. IsTELSOlsr STORES AT s^-isriDoisr part of the budget, and,think the sugar duty will ��� press especially hard on . Ireland, owing to the general poverty of the people. London, AprillO.-^The Daily Express has received the'following from its correspondent in Kingston, Jamaica: Much disappointment is expressed, here at the'absence of countervailing duties from the budget. The sugar trade is at present. almost. wholly with the United States, and the tax of a half penny per pound will keep it there.\" EASTERN CANADIAN NEWS ST.
