Citizens of Charlottetown do not want to escape their full share of the burden heap~ ed upon this Province by successive Liberal administrations. They are in it with the rest. But, in justice, they ought not to be compelled to bear an unequsl sbare of the taxation,or be forced to surrendeT to the Province legitimate sources of civic taxation. Mr. Hughes proposes acommis~ sion to define the limit beyond which tie Province must not go in the taxation of of citizens of Charlottetown. Thisought not to be necessary. If the citizens of Char~ lottetown were well represented in the Logislature and if the Government of this Province ruled in righteousness, there would be no need of a commission or any o.her measure of protection against tbe greater power ofthe Province. We fre gure that the p-onle of the province at large desire nothing more than “tbe fair thing,” and will not approve the specis] legislation recently enacted in respect to the taxation of companies and liquor deal- Nor will they approve any additional encroach- ments in this direction.

XAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN,

WANTS THE LINE DRAWN. |

Counelto ect wth the government and ascertain the amount due annua!ly by the city to the government. I full: ‘favor paving our just due ; but it seems at pres- entan uncertain amount,

Ath? present time the government collects from the Dominion Government 80 cents per capita tax on about twelve thousand citizens of Charlottetown,

which awounts annuaily to $9,600 and has been received for the past twenty-four vears,—making in al! for that time $239,- 400. The income taxon Charlotretowu amounts annnally toabout $35,000 for past five years, 17,500; and the commerci»l travellers tax about $3000,—five years $15,000; makiog the snug sum of $262,990.

I am aware the Government bas claims against the city; but is it not time our posi- tn was defined? I trust, sir, our City Council or Board of Trade wili take this matter up and see that the taxpavers of this city are payingtheir fua!l share to- wards the support of the Government, — and nothing more.

Sir,— My attention has jast been called to your leader io yesterjsy’s ExaMiNnek re cribbing. 1 have heard the same sermon preached since I was a boy, by my par- ents. mv pastor, my teachers, my examin ers bat; uever,no xever,cidI hear of an Editor’s attempting it, for the reason, I as- sume, tbat ediiors live in a purer, holier aud more consistent atmospbere than or- dinary mortals, and should not know of such a thing as cribbing. Now aay re- ference to cribbing makes me feel really uncomfortable, because | have been a crib- ber since 1 served my firet year at school

wheo tor the first time I was bribad by my parents and iy teach- ers (Sunday schoo! and day sehool)

to work for prizes offered for proficiency in New and Old Testament lore, reading, writing, etc. I remember well when I was patted on the back for excelling honest John Smith in catechism and good little Mary Jones in orthography. How my conscience—for I bad one then— smote me whenl got my prizes, knowing that my competi ors deserved them more thao I, if good honest eftort should be re-

tions were greater than ever—more Sunday school prizes, more anxious and more ambitious parents, more driving and cracking of the whip by my teacher, more examinations, more public exhi- bitions, more closing exercises, more rewspaper displays, more euvy, jealousy and hatred, I made enemies, of course, for the teacher pitted me against the whole school and eulogized me for my work to the discouragement of the others. Oc» casionally I would collapse when I failed to take every prize; but I was soon goaded on again,

After a few years of such training, my greed knew no bounds, for there was no check 1ein used except an occasional ser~ mon like yours, Mr. Editor ; andI would allow nothing to stand in the way of my attaining my object.
