prostituting his talents for a daily subsistence but his literary chumcter vends his poison and it is uur duty to counteract it as much as we can were the othcreditors to attend to this as much as you

their subscribers in upper canada in the states when a ood article ap pears in any paper however remote it goes the rounds for the editors have a little more regard for their renders than those of quebec and montreal cu1to mmtm esbfomteb same time that it exposes the tentofthe evil we know not whether the same inconve nience is felt in other parts of the province utft it is probably the case and as it is on the increase some means should he devised to heck the issue of such quantities of spurious halfpence by speculators who in vending hem by the pound or cask realize a profit oi cent percent the importation of this sort of money was commenced at the close of ihe var when there was a general scarcity of small change and the facility with which the coppers were vended added loan eagerness for greater profits has induced these specu lators to import furtherquuntilicsof the same illegal halfpence though still lighter and less intrinsically valuable the evil has now reached such a height that some measures must be adopted to check it or the commu nity will sustain a very heavy loss those inueed who will be the greatest sufferers are the poor and the ignorant the grand ques tion is how is the evil to be remedied and the circulation of worthless coppers effectu ally checked not we would answer by any combination of persons agreeing to take one description of coppers and refusing another for all are deiicient in value as well as illegal halfpence it is true of some sort or other are iudispensible for change and in the mean while the most objectionable kinds might be forced out of circulation by the unanimous resolution of the public to take only the bet ter kinds but the true remedy can only be applied by the legislature all others are merely palliatives and inefficient in their op eration the necessity of a good copper currency is acknowledged on all hands and proved by the attention paid in a measure adequate to its importance by all govern hents this province from its peculiar situ ation has hithe to been left without any good copper currency and ii consequence all cop per coins the refuse of other countries have passed current amongst u3 and wehave been besides the jiey of speculators who have coined halfpence for us of as little value as woods halfpence so famous in irish histo ry we therefore conceive tin the only way to put a stop to abuses so injurious to rha internal trade of the country is for the legislature to cause a certain uianiity of halfpence to be coined in england for the use ofthe province of the proper provincial cur reucy and this coinage would thus answer all the purposes of change ust would not he current in any other country would always remain with us- it may he iid that a cop per coinage for the tise ofcauada is unneces sary because a quantity of english halfpence might be imported but tfiis could only he dour by rhe government and it is not cer tain hov king tliey would v heji thus import ed lenah iu the country no merchant would import them unless they could be ob- iiiined from the british mini at a rate much below the standard value for besides the expeiiees of transport he would lose
