Thunderstorm A terrific thunderstorm passed over this section early morning accom panied by high wind and very heavy rain Though there was much lightning It ap- pears to have passed over without causing Joss but the wind overturned fences and scattered rails all the way from Sharon to the Lake Several trees were blown down particularly willows The heavy rain gave ground a thorough soaking and raised the hopes of farmers generally about the root Lightning struck a willow tree adjoining the stable of the late John fives on ford street and hilled two chickens Had the current passed down the

plant ought to be aimed at by all men that Interest of Individually and of at collectively be the same for If each should grama hie Individual interest all will be dis solved In that the ratepayers of Newmarket called upon to for it against granting a bonus of to Office Speoialty Company of this town on it Is desirable that ratepayer consider of tbis sub ject carefully and dispassionately not In the interest of only nor through medium of presented to him by interested parties but in the Interest of wliolo municipality and indeed of all the municipalities of which Newmarket is one Let us consider of the more prom inent aspects of this subject On what plea does a manufacturer ask a bonus The usual is because It coats least much more to the goods in the municipality than at other points where no bonus can be obtained One effect of the bonus system then evident ly is to draw Industries from where I hoy can man uf re at a low to places where they would have to t a lose unless ratepayers make up taxing themselves and paying out taxeBto the company in order that the of profits In pay ing profits to the from the taxes the of living in the town becomes necessarily high and the cost of carrying tho various permanent industries of the town is increased From this It is evident that the bonus system is a method of pro tecting industry at the expense of many It is pimply of the many of Protection which always acts in opposition to tho principle of a fair field to man and industry and special favors to none No man who believes in this principle can honestly vote in favor of granting the bonus Suppose all industries in the Domin ion to be unaffected by bounty or bonus and so were left free to locate where ever they pleased would bo found that they would be carried on at those points where the raw material could be and the products distributed at feast coat to the con sumers or that seeks by bonus or such line method to dis turb operation of ibis economic acts in opposition to the well being of the whole community If there were no bonus or such like sy stems there would be no inducement for industries to from place to place would be permanently located and the capital to develops each in dustry to its utmost be much more easily obtained and at le6B cost than in the tramp industries peculiar to the bonus system If a manufactory is situated where the coat of production is least the manufacturer is thereby placed in the very best position to meet competition and the demands of the market at home and abroad indeed to meet all the exigencies of Permanence in an industry en courages the workmen to become the own ers their By this means they acquire an in the industry and are therefore more likely to render to their employers their very best services Consumers wouldobtainmdustrial products of the beat quality in the open competition of the market and therefore at the least possible cost The advantages of a per manent Industry over a or tramp industry are too numerous to mention Suppose on the other hand that the bonus system in full operation manufacturing industries will be found crawling all over the land like locusts seeking whom they may devour remaining only in one place while the pastures are green and then when leave wastes dotted over with workshops and cottages in rota Scenes like this can be seen at many points in the rural districts such as at near Richmond Hill and in many towns and villages throughout the Province These are the necessary results of ouch a system When Newmarket seaees one or two monumental wrecks tee silly notions now so prevalent regarding the giving of shall have complete ly vanished In the days of the bonus system it brought forth a class of men without money without prinoipl but with plenty of brass and insinuating manners who saw in the system an opportunity to live by their wits These knowing ones would pour into the ears of a few of the citizens bewitching tales of wealth to be derived from some industry easily to be floated in the town A company is formed and soon the cry of the bonus hunter is heard in land The town ball reechoes the witching tale of wealth told to a breath less audience The bonus i6 granted of course in due time the usual results follow and waste and disappointment to all concerned except the who had nothing to lose either of cash or char acter Such a class of men are the natural spawn of the system A system always beautiful in perspective but in retrospect alas how changed Let me close with a brief reference to moral aspect of this economic false hood A man is moral only in so far as actions further tbe well being of whole society of which he is a member This of is equally true of a muni in its relation to the other muni cipalities of which it is one and the ques tion to be shall Newmarket act with reference to the whole society which it is a member or shall it take the immoral and purely position of not regarding the obligations resting upon it and arising oat of its relations to the other munici palities with which it is associated The burglar in tho bank respects not the inter eats of society but of himself only and con sequently is the enemy of society The the other hand respects the in terests of society He identifies his own good only in and through the good of so ciety Shall Newmarket act the intelligent and enlightened part of the banker or the eel- fish shortsighted and immoral part of burglar It the would immediate present and the locality In which live and look at the bonus system in total of Its effects ad Would no- hesitatingly dismiss to bonus any company Let us the spirit of true Canadians and seek good of whole first and of only as reflected by In and through lie good of all Unices wo this spirit we shall look in vain for our country to play a great part In the future If we are to bo purely selfish narrow and sectional in our acts and alms except on the Queens Birthday and the First of July our vaunt
