South African Taxes.

London. Sept. 22.-The Mail this
morning says the government has de-
cided that the new South African col
onies are to be required to pay $780,
100000 toward the cost of the South
African war. The colonies are. how
ever. to be allowed ample time in
which to make this payment: it will
not be collected until the extension of
trade and expansion of revenue per-
NIT. Consequently the loan will not
be tioated for two or three years.
Mining profits will probably be taxed
ten per cent. more than they were be-
fore the war. and money will also be
obtained by granting all kinds Of con
cessionS and mineral rights.

CANADA's INCREASING TRADE

The foreign trade Of Canada made great

ports for this period were s414,517, 1858, an
increase OF s36,S27,673 over the preceding
year. The imports were $2o2, ,7s1,595, and
the exports s211, ,7a5. .5sa. OF the latter all
but $15,ooo,oo0 was domestic produce and
less than s1s,ooo,ooo manufactures. 4
The figures again remind us that Can
ada is essentially foodstuffs and raw
material country. She produces Of these
commodities vastly more than she can
consume, and for many years to come
their total will increase much faster than
Canadian population. Hence the Cana
dian producer, who constitutes, meas

ported to the total exports of domestic
produce, 80 per cent Of the Canadian
business community is dependent upon
foreign markets far more than on the do
nestle Nevertheless the recent ten
