iii 5 ass: 5 The Currency. In these days of financial unrest, disturbed currency, "rag babies", umended Bank Att, increased Gov ernment issues and a perfect babble of carrency doctors one cannot avoid tue conclusion that the finances of wur country have got iato such a position that syme change in our financial affairs is imperatively de- manded. To what oxtent or in what direction the change should be we do not now feel warranted inadvis- ing but that the country is drifting to financial perdition is too obvious to require iHlustration. Such a feat as paying our way is not even look- ed forand we do not even attempt ©) pay the interest on our debts. -- Financial demoralization is rapidly epreading its banetul influences over the land, and the monster DEBT has stamped its degrading imprint on everything cap:ble of bearing its #mpress. It begins with the in- dividual aud goes on increasing to communities, our churches wince under its weight, corporations stagger from its harrasing in- fluences, municipalities tremble beneath tho incubus and our country is being hopelessly buried under its rapidly increasing load, a burden which if the present system is to continue, must end in ruin or repudiationat a no distant day. Are those the only alternatives for a young, active, vigorous, intelligent people whose country is teaming with natural resources? Certajnly not, we have other alternatives |-- Shall we stand by like so many ima becils and see our noble country de- graded without an effort to prevent her permanent financial degrada tion? The big book says "the borrower is servant to the lender" and shall we willingly remain serv-- ants to the Britishers by remaining their debtors and sinking deeper and deeper year by year. We give them all our surplus products and all the gold we can scrape together to partly pay the interest on what we owe them and being unable to pay it all we 'get periodically an- other loan with which to pay the in- terest of our debt. But this only increases the evil though it may for a time stave off the evilday., Under such circumstances is it at all to be wondored at that an intelligent and would-be-free people should chufe and seek 8 remedy, and where will they so naturally begin to seek as at what they believe to be the source of the evil; they seek to remove what they believe to Ye the cause so that the effect may cease, and so far from sneering at those who we sup+ pose wre seeking a remedy in the wrong direction we should be thankful to find them grappling with the monster and by their efforts and example awakening in othersa spirit of enquiry as to the source of and remedy for a state of things which all must deplore and all mast know cannot much longer exist without bringing the most disastrous consegdences. We must call a hal and devise some way out of the whirlpool. It an entirely new regime in the managoment of our affuirs.is to be the cure lot it be in- troduced at once; if the remedy lies in a change of carrency, it can- ~ mot be introduced a day too soon; ~ bat for pity sake do not let us act like the dog in the manger suggost nu eure ourselves bat hoot and sneer at those who do, laugh at their pro- posed remely and call them hurd mames. There is no one we think, 0 stapid aslo suppose that what is is right, that no change is re- quired or that wo ean go on as we ow doing.

The Coroner, Dr. Ware, was re- quested to hold an inquest on the remains of deceased ; a jury was d and a Coroner's Court was opened in the public hall, Prince Albert, on Wednesday, 2ith ist, A most lively interest was taken in the proceedings as evinced Ly tle large number present to watch proceedings. The County Attorney was present to conduct t examinations for the crown, Instruction had been given to the sexton to take the body of deceased from the grave for the pu:poses of the inquest, so the body was taken up and brouglt to the hall.

The inhabitants of Canada's capital, ap: pear to be in a dreadful state of destitution, at least one wonld be led to that con¢lasion if he were se foolish as to place any reliance on the lacrimal wailing of Grit authorities on that to them, important subject, Now we have a hundred or so decoy birds sent howling through the streets of Ottawa and even into the lobbies of the parliament buildings bemosning their sad fate and de. manding work or bread while their Grit employers stand roond with open mouths and upturned eyes in make-believe holy horror at the sight of men secking work ini finding none, aud anathamatising the hurd hearted Tory Government for not furnishing immediate employment for the suffering workmen, Rut unfortunately for the den- ou ment a correspondent of Le Canada kicks the bottom out of this wailing tableau by almost bluntly asserting that the whole affair was the result of Grit political machinations. The correspondent asserts over his own signature that he had been to Otiawa to employ men for lumbering purposes not succeeding there, had to telegraph from that city to Lower St, Lawrence districts for a supply of bands. He isalso willing to furnish, if his statement is challenged, the names of men who took part in the demon. strations at the capital, and afterward re- fused bis offers of employment, But supposing that the case had been real and no fraud where wae the preferential claim of these men from the fact of their residing at the capital ? Every workman in the Dominion has just as much claim on the special interference of the Government as their Ottawa compatriots, and how would it look if every idle workman in the Dominion was to seck his way to Ottawa and demand work or bread from the Government? Ia order to render the plot if possible more ex- cruciating the Grit sheete join in the agony and lay before the world a full and doubt- less uuthentic statement of the almost ten entless condition of the city of Ottawa; in fact they would almost lead one to believe that the would.be capital was hastening back to the wilderness condition it was in previous to its becoming the capital of the Dominion, a condition which it should have retained and which it will again resume after it has ceused to be the capital, The wilderness condition is that for which_ alone it is fitted and the attempt to raise it to anything higher will prove about as fruitless as the cclebrat- ed attempt of the "Ethiopean to changé his skin" In order to give point and preci- sion to the agony the leading Grit sheets give the following statement : "The following isa comparative state. mont of the number of vacant houses in the city at tnd sent one : close of last quarter and the pre- Decemyer.
