FLESHERTON: THURSDAY, JAN. 29, 1885. "HARD TIMES." We have about come to the con- clusion that the times are not as hard us scores of us imagine them to be ! ! ! 1 ntciTogatiiig a number of our farmers im-ntly, we were surprised at the diversity of opinion 011 the subject. We had thought the general opinion would accord with that expressed by a number of our business mm, to the cll'irt, that there has not been such u tightness in the money market since 1878. Among the promiiitut farmers of Arteincsia who have expressed themselves on the subject, we might mention Mr. Cbas. Irwin, who lives near this village. Mr. Irwin dropped into our office one day last week to renew his subscription for 1886. and us he handed us the dollar, remarked : "I don't know but that money would be just as well in my pocket as iu yours, for." said he, with a comical dolefuluesg, "the times are to hard you know." When the hufghter, caused by this stereotyped phrase which Mr. Irwiu had uaod with such a pleasant raillery had subsided, that gentleman continued : "Speaking seriously, now, I do not find the times iiny harder this year than last ; and I did not find the times any harder last > .11 tiiun tin- year before." And so it U : once the cry of "hard times" is lnurd, it is tuken up and re-echoed throughout the whole country, until I- nj.lc really in,. i-ine tlmt the nation io going to ruin. I !nt tin- iwsiiicRs men ; do they find tlit times harder than they were last pvf They do. Why? flecuuso tin same cry was raised last year but with better reason, owing to the damage done by the frost to grain- and iu consequence acsonnts, aggro- Kiting thousands of dollars.in small villages, even, were "carried over' iind added to this year's. Thou the same cry is raised this year, and the likelihood is that accounts of two \e;irs standing will have to bo carried over again. Result ; Division Court buits, seizures by bailiffs, mortgages, mortgage sales, &c. And all because of a pernicious credit system which has ruined hundreds of promising hiisines nidi, farmers, Ac., and which might, by a little pinching, be wiped out of existence and numbered with the relics of the past. Are not these remarks true ? Hard times? Yes, bnt what makes ''"I" hard" Is it the low price* offering for grain, roots, Ac. tit,,.t f that i* to blame ? Have not the crops been above the average in quantity .mil quality, and is there not less frosty grain thin year than last ? The jiuswer to both these questions is an lwtic yes! Another noteworthy is ; A person can gi-t more in our stores to-day for one dollar than tli,-y could two or three \ < -ii-s n-,'o for twice tliat amount. Ask iiiiy of our merchants and they will Idlyou itu so. Hard times?
