iet them pay. If canals are profitable, let them
pay. If collieries enrich their owners, why
should they not pay9 Coal is worth at market
from SO TO $3.50 per ton. Would q tax of two
cents per ton diminish the consumption, or pre-
vent single ton from being mineds We think
not. Yet two cents per ton would yield m anu
al revenue exceeding 100000, and this item
alone would pay the interest on nearly two mil
lions of the public debt. Lumber could pay 10
cents per 1000 feet, iron Is cents per ton, dry
goods still more. Thus specific but very mod
crate tax on every species of property trans
ported in any way or for any distance-a tax so
small in comparison with the value of the arti-
Gle that it would not be felt, would yield lar
ger revenue, and in less Objectionable form,
than by any other mode yet adopted. The tax
would be charged upon the article. and paid by
the consumer, in the same manner as our pre-
sent duties upon imports.
We commend these remarks to the careful at
tention Of our citizens. confident that there can
be but little difficulty in placing our State reve-
nues upon firm basis, without resorting TO the
unjust and oppressive systems that are now in
use.

Sir John Frsakun.

An interesting incident in the life Of Sir John
Fraklin is narrated by correspondent OF tss
National Latsllysnes-, writing from Ravenswood,
L. !. In the year 1884. it appears dispute
arose between Mr.. Jasper Chasseaud, Z. S. Cor
sui at Beirout, and the Syrian government, con-
cerning the il-treatment experienced about thss
time by Mr. Bird, an American missionary, then
residing in Beirout Satisfaction was promised
for an attack made by Syrian soldiers upon M..
Bird. but the reparation was long delayed. a
British frigate, under the command of Captain
Franklin, arrived in the harbour when the diai-
Guilty was at its height, and Sir John immediate
ly interested himself in the affair Iustsad OF
first salutng the flag OF England. he made for
the q. S. Consulate, heard Mr.. Chasseaud's sto-
~. and the parties repaired together to the Gov.
ernor's palace. The officials thought proper 70
accede to the demands pressed so vigorously
upon their attention-the offending soldiers IN
derwent punishment-the reparatiop was made:
and when the trouble came to On end. the Br:-
tish Consul got his salute The energetic action
of Captain franklin saved world Of trouble
and the interest now attaching to the welfare OF
the distinguished navigator, lends attraction to
