with the possible exception of the
Fort Pitt murderers, will probably be an
nOunced, and more liberal policy inau-
gurated in dealing with the claims OF the
half-breeds. The decline of several millions
of dollars in the customs and excise revenue
will call for a revision OF the tariff. Moth
ing official can of course be learned of the
policy OF the government on this score, but
the prospects are that further imposition
on wines, liquors, tobacco and cigars, and
possible on teas and cOtfees will be neces-
sary TO keep expenditure with revenue. The
cost OF the Northwest rebellion will reach
probably $40, 900, 600 and the hope is held
out that the Canadian Pacific railroad will
redeem $40, 600, 900 OF bonds paid by the
treasury as security for the loan and the
public debt reduced TO the extent. These
bonds are quoted at 104 in the London
market, and under the proposed scheme the
company would not only benefit its own
financial position. but would as well
strengthen the government which originated
and constructed this great national under
taking.
