abilities of the people themselves they feci instinc tively that they arenas yet but standing on the threshold of their future wealth and greatness my advice to hardworkirig and venturesome lads in the old country is this go to canada and grow- up with the growing country protecting the home merchants the question of transient traders ts occasionally a vexed one in acton as in other towns pew towns have succeeded in framing bylaws which satisfac torily govern transient traders and adequately protect the established merchants who are paying taxes on their property and business taxes on their stocks the town of hanover has been giving considerable attention to this maiter lately the post says this journal is strongly in favor of the proposal nowbe- fore the hanover council 10 increase the license fee for hawkers and peddlers some fear is expressed that the people are not lit favor of the proposal feeling that these peddlers give oiem something that they need at a lower cost thart the articles can be bought for at local stores hanover merchants not only as ratepayers- ut in divers ways are one of the towns best assets and while we do not sug gest thatevery thing possible be done to givo them a mbnopofy on their particular business still we do submit that they should not bo subjected to unfair competition in fact that they should be given a preference over iellows who do not contribute in- any way to the towns prosperity durham it is said has a license 7ee of 10 a day barrte recently raised the fee for transient traders to 150 these charges appear much more reasonable than the presentrate here although the 75 license tor transient traders which is rebated in taxes if they remain in town is not open to the same criticism as the paltry fee for peddlers our favorable balance of trade canadas greatest source of woalth and optimism continues to- be her foreign trade which for the twelve months ended october 31 showed a favorable balance of
