sh Anniversary of Victory. That an almost cloud had hung over and around our manufacturing, impenetrable several interests, - mercantile, commercial and as 'a sequence, financial, for several years "past isa fact requiring little com- mont, tho sad realities of which still hang around our borders. People grew heartless,annoyed and impatient, but not till after baving exhausted every means at their con trol to dissipate the still thickening gloom. Still the evil increased, labor diminished from day to day, money got more stringent and people were driven to - their avit's end to get| along at all and multitudes had to jsuecumb. Hero we wore a young vigorous, enterprising, intelligent country with our hands tied and our prospects darkening ; wishing to go ahead buf denied the opportunity and this is in a country full of vital. ity and overflowing with resources which could not be utilized. What could now. be done? the people go to their rulers, represent ihe sad condition of things and ask them. to make an offort at least to keep us from drifting to destruction. But our happy-go-easy rulers with faces all aglow with the good things of . this life regarded the suppliants in their blandest smile, told them to go home and bear it for the Govern- ment could do nothing for them and could suggest nothing but humble submission to the pressing weight of govermental imbecility, and it may be that better times may come.-- This was all very well for the parties Juxurating ' at tho public crib and knowing nothing and caring as little for hard times. But the people wanted something more than pal- aver and it now became their turn to suggest to their rulers that a change in the fiscal policy of the country would result in good for the toiling ones and bensfit to all other ests in the country. But the Gov~ ernment were as deaf as adders and tried to console the people with the assurance that they oould do no moro for tho intorests 'of tha*peo- inter- plo in way of reviving business than afly can effect the motion of the wheel. The peoplo now knew what they had to expect and on the enrliost opportunily, which fortun- 1 ately for the wholo of us was not far distant, displaced a set of rulers which appeared to glory in their imbecility and put in their places a set of mon who declared that it was within the power of rulers to do much to build up and encourage the several inrerests of the land, and that achange in the commercial policy of the country would have a « tendency to improve our condition. There aro fow instances on record in which a people administered a marked robuke to any set of rulers as at that time, just twelve months ago ; and no one we think will deny the fact that ever a chastisement was better deserved. The disease was a severe one and the remedy was correspond ingly sharp. The Mackenzie Gov- ernment and regime passed away with a rapidity and completeness utterly astonishing to all but to them . selves more than to any others.-- more and unequivocal And whilo we know them by their: fast receding wings wo will yet for 'a long trme remember them by their stings, for tho commercial stagna- and paralized industries of the 5 Tas the effeets of the $inster rule of our late ralers, are not to be overcome in a day.

Tho day was when tyrant landlords could evict their tenants on a day's notice but the Jaw came to be so modified as to compel land- lords to give six month's notice before they could But to be even with the law the tyrann-- evict. ical landlords had a notice to quit printed on the backs of the receipts for rent so that a poor tenant when paying a half year's rent gets a receipt for therent and on the back of thig receipt 18 a notice to quit at the end of six months from that date. Of courso when the six months ran up if the landlord do not wish 'the tenant to Jeave he says nothing about the eviction but gives Lim an. other receipt for this mx month's rent with a similar notice on the back of it so that the provis- ions of the law are rendered power- less by the rascally trick of the landlord; and the poor tenant is thus athis mercy at all times. The natural' result' of such abominable tyranny has told injuriously on the In the o ending 1866 in place of an incredso in the population as should have been it was found that the population" 'was three millions less than it was ten years before. Watch 'the 3, Tiickaters . The miserable management of the noW'swampod Consolidated Bank is oven now stuggling for prolonged existenco; the directors or some of them at least are making a desper- ate effort to retain the control of an institution which they have already badly, into the ground.-- tunate shareholders have evn humbugged, cheated ted until they are anxious to get rid of their stock, being ready even to give it away to who- ever will take it off their hands. Some of the more crafly of the di rectors are anxiously picking up all} Ju such stock in order to give them a controling power at the genera t 'mooting of the sharcholders to take this. Joh inst, At this meet- liability, but such is a great mis- take, for no effort of the sharohold- ers-can now rid them of the liability to be called upon for an additional sum equal tg. the amount of the stock they held at the time the bank elosed its doors, so that shareholders ought to know that whether they part with thoir stoek or not they must remain liable for additional calls. Hence sharehelders would be very foolish to part with their stock now and thus deprive them- selves of the privilege of attending the meeting to-day and have a say either by themselves or by appoint- ed proxies as {0 how the affairs of the bank shall be disposed of, if it is 10 go on who is to have the man- agement, and if it is to wind up who is todo it and how it is to be done; such a voice will be oft far more importance to tho shareholders than the paltry eight or ten cents on the dollar they can get for their stock and still be liable for any ad- ditional calls. Stockholders may rely on it that directors who in the past have been unfaithful, or dishonest will be so stupid the future if they got the chance, and it in by buying up stock they can secure a controling power they shall got that chance for they will vote them office and then' the and selves into shareholders may look out, serve them right if they retain such men in power of any kind one hour longer than is absolutely necessary as well to punish them for neglect as to be an example to others so that they may see and fear. The Obie Attractions. The grand inducements held out to induce the people to attend our central exhibitions and provincial agricultural shows are the presence ot * stars,' boat races ; the objects of the exhi- military reviews and bition, thu show of agricultural im- plements, products and live stock, are only thrown in as make-woights. We are 'told, with all the eircum- stance imaginable, of the big folks that aro to be at the Provincial Show at Ottawa; all the Governors and Lieut.-Governors in creation are to be there; this inducement is mado with the view of securing a crowd, and doubtless it will have the desired - effect, for there are de- cidedly a vastly greater number of flexible toadies, more toadyism and cringing human worship to the square mile in the Province of On- tario than there are any where else to be found in this subluoary sphere. The men who carry the white straw for the time being are the prime objects of worship, and the gaping crowd will rush pell mell over the prostrate forms of discarded great-- ness to get at the new occupants of office and power, and we think that few if any will deny that Ontario contains in comparison to her popu lation a greator number of boister~ ous human worshippers than can be found anywhere elso. Hundreds of] thousands of dollars will be expend. ed in 'mock display and hollow pageants, while ti ds of people, men, women and children, just as good as the would-be great ones, cannot get bread enough to eat; the thousands and tens of thousands. of! dollars dissolutely wasted in' these idle displays would go far towards making thousands of homes com- fortable during' he approaching | winter which will doubtless have to suffer from the effects of too. little food, insufficient clothing and want Some of our younger readurs may not exactly understand why it is that the ex- change as given to Montreal is quoted at $1.08} while that given to New York is will prove a very considerable addition to the taxable property of the corporation. There are other new residences in course of erection in various parts of the town, The smaller residences, if not quite so costly, are quoted at $4 84}. Oux young ici all know that the old Mexican silver dollar which was long the standard of exchange between Britain and America was of such a value that four and four-ninths of such dollars were equivalent in value to one pound sterling, so that when money was at par between the two countries the pound sterling was worth four and four ninths of such dollars either in England or America, Should any serious difficulty overtake or threaten England her securities for the time being would depreciate in value in propor- tion to the magnitude of the difficulty, and exchange on England would be at a dis- count, that is the pound sterling would not be regarded as worth so much to exchange hence four and = four-ninths American dollars would exchange for as much more than the pound sterling as the discount on If the discount on Eng- land, for instance, were five per eent then Eoglish money, four and two-ninths American dollars would exchange for a pound sterling, and it would require more than four and four-nintbs sterling if English money were at a pre- mium or American moncy at a discount, We need scarcely remind our young readers that four and four-ninths equals 4.44 (reprated). Some years ago the Americans took to issuing their own dollar and discarded the Mexican dollar ; the new dollar was not so pure as the old and it required $4.866 (repeat ed) of the new American dollars to be equal in value toone pound sterling, hence our young readers will sce that the American dollar was 9} per cent, less valuable than the old Mexican dollar which bad previously been the standard of exchange between But like the bonest Scotchman who having to take home a Eugland and America, quantity of flow on the' back of a mule had flout in one end of the bag and tied a stone in the otherend and placed the bag so as to balance on the back of the mule, when asked why he did not rather put half the flour in each end of the bag and not make the mule carry any more weight thau necessary ? re- plied that this was the plan his father used to adopt, so that we in Canada have con- siderable stick-toitiveness about us and when referring to exchanges between Eng- land we stick to the old our par value and consequently have 93 per cont so add toEngland's'par value as consider- ed in the light of the present Americandollar The Americans, however, adopt their own standard and when the exchange with Eng- ati ¢ to the introduction of the American dollar { American dollars to exchange for a pound | Mexican dollar as no less wel buildings. The very life and hope of a town consist largely in the numerous, cosy little dwellings of the toiling ones, upon whose efforts und enterprise the prosperity than the more splendid of any community very much depend. --_------ Postponment. It will be observed from an advertisement elsewhere in this issue that the Directors of the South Ontario County Agricultural Society have very considerately and in the interest of the public changed the days of their fall exhibition from Thursday and Friday, 18th and 19th inst, to Friday and Saturday, 19th and 20th inst. The Governor-General and H. R. H.p Princess Louise will visit Whitby on Satur- day 20th inst., and as all will desire to see the distinguished visitors and none would like to miss the exhibition, the Directors of the Society, in order to save the public all unnecessary trouble and expense, have so changed the days of their exhibition that 20th pst. , the day on which the vice-regal party the second day will be on Saturday visits the town, so that all will have an opportunity of witnessing the reception and attending the exhibition on the same day Re. member that the days of the exhibition are Fiiday and Saturday, 19th and 20th inst. and not on the 18th and 19th as before announced. and thus save a sccond trip to town. ee Humpty Dumpty at Port Perry. Pullman & Co's Humpty Dumpty Show gave two exhibitions in this place on the 17th inst., and fully sustained its enviable reputation as one of the best if not the best show now traveling. We were prepared to expect a supetior entertainment from the very flattering notices given of the perform~ ances by the local press wheiover the show bas exhibited, and we certainly were not dis- appointed ; this excellent show entirely met our expectation in every particular and we can fully endorse the flattering opinions expressed by our exchanges as to the superior quality and attractive nature of the perfor: The ry ski must follow now that it has got to be fought treasure must flow ere the end comes, and there is no saying what may be the result. In Zululand the temporary elose of the war has already come, the unfortunate king is a fugitive and is being run down like a common felon, though guilty of no other crime than that of trying to defend his home agaiost the attacks of foreign in- vaders ; his own people are hired to hunt him down and death or capture appear to be the only alternatives left for the poor king. But when the king 'has been caught or killed the end is not yet come, for the holding of the country will be little less costly in both blood and treasure than actual warfare, ------------ . Sparring. Kurope's two great Chancellors, Bismarck and Gortschakoff, have had quite a sparring match, they are too far apart to hurt each other and all Europe stands and looks on. They appear to enjoy the thing for they will neither agree nor fight ; they do their own squabbling but they prefer to fight by proxy. In their case and in every other case those who make the quarrels should be the only ones to fight. Because a Bismarck and a Gortschakoff get ill-natured and pout at each other that is no reason why the average German aod Russian should seek each other's life, Let the Chancellors settle their own disputes the best way they can, and if they should have a scratch over it let them have it, but don't let them set others to do the fighting for them. A feel- ing of insecurity has prevailed over Europe for months past in consequence of the atti- tude of the growlers. Let them fight it out and be done with it and let the people who really have no quarrel live in harmony. Fall Show. The Prize List of the Cartwright' Agric ultural Socicty's" fall show will be found on the first page. The show will be held on the agricultural grounds, Williamsburg, on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 9th and 10th, when it may be expected to see one of the finest shows ever held in that section of country. The ladies are going iu with a will and we may look for a floral hall still more attractive than any of its predecessors and it is to be hoped that the gents won't be caught napping but that they too will put forth an effort worthy of them and so secure the complete success of the show. --_ -- Mr. Pearce's New Advertisement.
