L Possibly, the easiest way to thoroughly ', understand the iniquity of the present ' method of keeping down the rate of taxa- tion yearly will be to inquire what the rate of taxation in 1885 will 7be if` the Q Reeve and the nance committee s warn- ing ot this year is heeded. That warning is: "This course cannot be persisted in much longer without detriment to the fund. Passing by the tact, that such an evil course should never have been begun, let us see roughly what the rate of taxation would be next year if it were resolved to make in 1886 our sinking fund intact--in a state of thorough security to the holders of our debentui-es-and at the same, time take for granted that the non-controllable and controllable expenditure for next. year will be equal at least tothat of this. For the purpose of easy calculation we shall throw of the odd gures, which will ' rather make the calculation more favor- able than otherwise for the nance com- mittee. Assume the total of the roll to be the same as this year's, viz : $1,102,- 147, the amount raised by one mill in the dollar will be a shade over $1,100, but this amount will be near enough for all practical purposes. ,What, then,` would I he the rate of taxation necessary to put the town squarewand `carry on business next year on the sain'e'scaleas this? `We, ofeourse, add the.gr`oss sum for basis which nnahf. in I... vI....:-.= -' A - - - G , ._7_.-__ V- vvvo qaa.,VVUs Then, there is the other nawe confession, In order to keep_do`wn the rate to 16 mills. The Reeve has been posing! as an" economist. The rate, the people were told, was lovr. We would have nothing particularly to nd fault about the rate being 16 mills in the dollar, if Barrie had a clean sheet yearly. But when its is kept down by pxling up the burdens on the Deople who will pay the taxes in 1885- 86-87 `and so on, there is ample room for urging a. departure from such _ a. system . ! pllihlv . fkn l)ntI*:1\lu` ---.u-- l-- ,_, ._i_ _-- -vv- Jvw.wv -Iv VVUIIJUWKC in. In other words, the people of Barrie will have to pull up some thing over $4,- 000 for sinking fund purposes which ought to have been distributed over and levied ter during these three years. - It really amounts to, in simple ' understandable language,` 9. decit of over $4,000. 'I'lL-_ Al --- ' There is a whole volume of confession in the above. The council has for years ' been pursuing an admittedly wrong course with respect to the debenture . sinking fund. The report says for the past two years but 2; per cent has been levied for sinking fund purposes. We have not the gures for 1882, but we have those for 1883 and 1884 before` us, as pre- sented in each year by the nance oom~ mittee. These gures show that $1715 too little was raised in 1883 and $1815 too little was raised in "1884. And there is the amount for 1882 yetto be counted I'.. -A_L -._ __, `In orderit; i:};'_{&Lwn the rate to 16 milie, your council have for the past two years :levied but 2; per cent for sinking fund pur- 3 poses. and your committee recommend that the same course be pursued this year, inti- mating at the same time that this course cannot be persisted in much longer without detriment to the fund. * - cox ssumciru. nnsxczs. . The nance committee's report, present- ed by Reeve Ross on Monday night, ne- commends that certain debentures of the township of Flos be purchased for sinking fund purposes. This proposal, which was adopted by the council, moves us to con- sider the whole? municipal debenture prac- tice as it obtains in the town of. Barrie, under the present nancial management. In` ofder that no injustice may be done, we quote what was said by the nance committee on this question, when Reeve Ross presented for the committee the es- timates of. 1884. .T-he nancevreport of the 15th September last said : his numerous a'nd_t.li_e' W10! his- antagonists `(because he is"a hated Tory and for no other reason in the` world) the will announce f,_l1is`_; candi-' dature .so earnestly desired by every good citizen. And he ' will * be elected. Not only will his own personal friends vote for him, but many who can- not olaim that honor will do so on public grounds alone. - There are enough votes to elect Mr. King to the mayoralty. in that section of the electorate which be- lieves that the highest. oce in their gift should not he, as seems probable, the hereditary oce of one unqualied man. Tun Anvmou earnestly desires that Mr. King will run, and it can assure him will do all in its power to elect him to the honorable position of Mayor of ' Barrie should he consent h, we hgglg ' Let those who have the money make it y `a little, and the wheels will begin to .-no around in all" directions There `is no` lack of `inducements, and wise exercise of -` judgment will make a very small amount go a greatway. One dollar set in motion in payment of a debt or to make a wise purchase, may be made to pay scores of debts and help in the purchaseof a multi- V tude of articles that `contribute to the happiness of many. `Set `the dollars in motion.

DOLLARS IN MOTION. The Christmas holiday season is near at hand, and already the commercial pulse feels quickened. A For the V next three weeks the dollars will circulate more nimbly than usual. It is a time when these which have been hoarded are brought ' out and spent, and in which even a trie of. debt is incurred without any poignant twinge. And it is well that there are special seasons which open the heart. and induce a. little extra liberality in purchas- ing and present-giving. Every doll :- spent enables somebody else to spend so- cordmgly, Every dollar boarded stops a helpful expenditure in some direction. It has been very well said that while ` it is man s_ duty to l~ive.withiu his. income, the talk of hard times iaducesagrreat many people to practice needless economies`, and so to` create distress `which should not otherwise exist. The_ best service..wh1ch- the well-to-do can -perform in times of'de- pression is to `spend money freely. ` The unloading of the merchant : shelves means $110 itl-1`.,tin8 of the mills'(`,I.'ad5'%hat " means em oyment.

' Whatzis extrava. annnn in .---r-- ~4-- ~ when the debt matures, and thus the 9 town is at a loss for interest for money _cent. interest were actually bought at 6 This, however much itshows, the reck- lessness of the system of nancier-ing hitherto, pursued here,- does -not by any means nish the consideration of the de- benture system at present in vogue. To say the least, this plan of raising sinking fund . atall is behind the age. More than this it is the source of much direct and indirect loss to Barrie. The proper method would be to put our corporation debentures on the market and make a straight loan by `selling them for what` they would bring. `Then "the loss, if there be any, would fall on us at rst and we should _ know what we are doing. At present we raise only 25 per cent. for sinking fund when we should raise 5 per cent. The 2 only pays half the amount of principal indebtedness when due, and in order to meet debentures, maturing we must have recourse to the plan of taking the amount short out of working expenses. By the a plan proposed in the last nance report, ` it seldom happens that the purchased de- bentures for sinking fund are available borrowed to make up the deciency, or ask the debenture holders to extend the time, which system results, as any one can see, in loss at both ends. The Flos debentures bear six per cent and may be purchased at par the report says. So far so good, if they will be available "when our own debentures fall due. But the town has not always been so fortunate" under the nancial management of Mr. Ross. Sinking fund has been awaiting invest- ment, and earning nothing for the_people. On one occasion, if not more, in order to nd protable employment forour sinking fund outside debentures bearing 6 per. per cent. premium. In other words, for the vear in which they were bought, the people were paying 12 per cent. interest. These leakages of the people s money in the past should teach our nanciers wis- dom, but strange to say they do not seem to learn. T The town nances are in a bad state ; will the_ people apply the only remedy in their` power I That question can only be answered after nomination or election day, and we trust to have the pleasure of recording` the fact that the people have by their votes signied that they want less reckless and less careless nancing in town moneys for the future. ' odd more to; provide, hscau-rs the. license _rsvs'n.Iie taken 'c.way:3hythe pass-` age ofthe Scott-_'Act. We have - thus to raise $82,000 `! ` Taking the estimates for this year as _a basis we will have a re venue of82000 or thereabouts from mar- ket, town hall, `interest, etc., which de- ducted leaves us 830,000 to he raised by taxation. As we have seen, one mill in the dollar will raise $1100. At this rate it will take 'rwaN:rY seven ' up TWO- rnnrns mills in the doilar to square our accounts, make up our sinking fund, and run the machine. Nearly 2% cents ! And this is the result 01 what is called low taxationgin past years under the fin- ance leadership of Reeve Ross. -Truly, he could exclaim at a recent meeting of council, the nancial position of the town will not be so next year as it this." He ought to know. `The fact of the mat- ter is that he has got our nances into such a state that thoughtful ratepayers, are al- most afraid to look the situation in the face, and it is almost safe to say that few, if any, would care to assume the responsi- bility of straightening thexnances of Barrie." Someday, when the ratepayers are asked to put their hands into their pockets, to the tune of.2 cents in the dol- lar, will they awake to the realities of our present situation.

On Friday an advertisement appeared in the New Haven papers setting forth. that a young woman was in search of a husband. he, she set forth in her advertisement _that she was a strong, healthy girl 20 years of age and weighing 165 pounds. The only physical drawback to which she confessed was a partial deafness. [Dwelling thus lightly upon her personal charms, the as- pirant fur a husband advanced as the her worldly possessions. These were sum- marized as$22,000 in Iron mountain com- pany s bonds, 200 head of cattle, two smoke" 7 brindle steers, 117 yoke of oxen, and 5,000 acres of land in Indian territory. The candidate for her hand, in order to be sne- cessfnl, it was announced, must have no drinking habits and must be `moral. Satur- day it was announced that the search ` was ended and that a husband had been select- ed. Four of the candidates who were deemed most eligible out of the 400 or more ~ who applied by mail and otherwise were given a personal interview by the owner 0: the bonds, cattle and Indian territory pro- perty. The choice fell upon \Villoughby-H. Harris, of` Mound City, Ks. Hevis a dealer in cattle, worth about $10,000, and 37eyears of age. It was agreed between the con- tracting parties that the joint possessions of both shall. -become the property of `their united partnership in about ten days` or `two "weeks. Truly greatare merits of advertise I 1 1 s E t V ing, money and cattle. ` E Tm: Peterboro Review hit the nail square- ly on the head, when it said : The Toronto Globe speaks of Ontario as Sir John Mac; douald s political estate in the West. We are glad to see the Globe thus recognizing the fact that the majority of the electors of this Province return representatives, a ma- jority of whom, as in the case of all the other Provinces, except Prince Edward's Island, support the Administration of Sir John Macdonalcl. But, we object to exag- geration, and we would submit that the Globe is not warranted inputting the case so strongly. Ontario is too independent to be the estate of anv political party, even when so meritorious as the Conservative partv of Canada. so. too, Sir John Mac- donald, though the foremost statesman of Canada, and the trusted and beloved leader of the Conservatives, is not in himself the Conservative party. The bare facts of On. tari0 s support of the Macdonald Adminis- tration are suiciently satisfactory, and the Globe need not exaggeratethem, while ad. J mitting them. V` ` Momnthau two years ago, Mr. W. Steph-V enson, of Pickering,-father of Mr. J.` A. Stephenson, Market). Clerk, Orillia, met Sir John Macdonald `at Whitby , and in course of conversation asked for his photograph. sir John told Mr. Stephenson` to drop him a line at Ottawa. and on his return thither the photograph would be sent. - Last J uly,-Mr. -Stephenson received it,` accompanied` by a letter written by the Premier, stating that on looking over his papers, he found he had neglectedtoifull his promise, and he now sent a photograph said to be a good one. The letter closes with a kind expression of interest in the health of the recipient. We need scarcely say that Mr. Stephenson val- ues the photograph and letter highlv, but `mainly as an evidence of the faithfulness of the right honorable leader of the Govern- ment iu fullling a passing promise to a farmer whom chance had thrown in his way. Tux Durham Chronicle is beset with ene- mies, some of whom are not over-scrupulous in the means used by them to injure that excellent local paper. However, the editor in vigorous and fearless, and if principle is worth anything will yet win hie cause. In the meantime. we simply express the hope" that the fight, though erce, will not be long, and that the Chronicle will have the aid and sympathy of the people, for whom it ie an untiring and energetic worker.

Elsewhere in to-day s issue, His wot. ` ship Mayor Sewrey announces that he is a candidate for the Mayoralty for 1885. We have no desire to wound Mr. Sewrey s feelings, but when we have said that he is a jolly good fellow by nature the elec- tors have the sum and substance of his qualications before them. In contra- distinction to the present Mayor,is the gentleman named by Tm: ADVANCE a couple of weeks ago. _, He is, we beg to differ from the senior Grit organ, vastly. . superior to Mr. Sewrey in those qualities which make a good presiding oicer and our highest civic magistrate. The organ, well knowing that it cannot attack with - anything but praise the record made `by Mr. King, mistakes as usual abuse for argument; However, it is the misfortune ` of really excellent men aspiring to serve the people to the best of their ability, to be grossly maligned by organs of the ` senior Grit s stripe, and it only serves to show the people that the baser ele- . ments of our municipal politics are sure to be arrayed against excellence of char- actor and ability.
