Both parties meant business, and. alter anything but a long discus- sion, the terms embodied in the motion to be found in another Column were agreed upon, and a new industry will the village by the end of next June. The terms are so favorable to the com- panyâ€"conceding. in fact, all their rep- resentative askedâ€"that some few of the ratepayers are inclined- to cavil at the celerity with which the bargain was made; but Mia. l’cuchen stated. no doubt with perfect truthfulness, that they had been offered strong induce- ments to go to other localities, and the probability that, if We miss thischztncc. it will be a long time. before we get as g00d a one will, we think, be generally admitted, and will induce the great majority of the residents of the village to endorse the action of the council. The reduction of the assessment of the pulp mill property to $2,000 will in- volve a loss of about $180 in taxes, but. this will be a mere fleabitc compared to the benefit that will accrue to the community from. the establishment of the industry “in our midst,” and we are of those who believe that it is good policy to “ give a sprat to catch a her- ring.’.’ The number of men employed by the new company will'not exceed a dozen at the outset. and may never reach twenty-five ; but. fully seven thousand cords of woodâ€"halfhard and half softâ€"will be used annually, the cost of which, added to wages and‘inci; dental expenses, will, Mr. Pcuchcn says, reach a total of at least. $20000 a year. We hope that the conditions, whatever they are, attached to the almost entire exemption from taxes, will all be embodied in writing, so as to leave no possible openings for a recur- rence of the disputes and unpleasant- ncsses of which there have been too many in the past. , Bills are already out calling for 4,000 cords of maple, birch and beech, and an uumcntioned quantity of mixed soft wood, to be delivered at the mill 61' at points c0nvenicnt for loading by rail or water. " Division Courts. The venerable cherubâ€"Adolphe Vav- aseurSmiff. to ,witâ€"whosits (in a soft sit) up at Haliburton and writes lead- ing articles for the Bobcaygcon Incle- pendcnt, promulgates bulls, issues man- dcmcnts and flings around £1330 dimils in a manner that is highly amusing, and his last flat is that “Division Courts must. go.” Now, Smifi' is an esteemed contemporary for whom we have a sincere regard, and of whom we think everything that we don’t think of our other contemporary, Sam Hughes ; but nobody is perfect. and, notwith- standing the traits of character that make him truly great, Smit‘f has fads, and one of them is a tendency to talk about “Smith,” and “Jones,” and “Brown” and “Robinson,” and to prove that pretty nearly everything that is is wrong. and would be much better if it were some other way. The Inde- pendent (to become impersonal) advo- cates the abolition of all laws for re- covering dcbts, and claims that “no man is morally responsible for the pay- ment of any debt which he did not himself contract or assent to." Against the latter proposition we have nothing to‘say; but, while human nature reâ€" mains as it is, we do not think it possi- ble to transact business without making the payment ol liabilities compulsory. Credit is practically unavoidable, ex- cept, perhaps, between retail dealers and their customers; because. if a man sent. cash with an order for goods, he would be giving credit for the. money until he was paid in goods. It is all very well for our esteemed contempoâ€" rary to amuse its readers by talking about “ Advanced Thought ” and “ the ; good, the true and the beautiful"; but ? courts for the collection of debts czist because they are needed, and will noti be abolished until the DCCesslty for; them ceases, no matter how much they l are inveighcd agaiu~t by a few papers} without doubt be in full operation in, hromptl)‘. but who would not PM at all i fixed at $2.000 for the term or ten if there was no law for their creditors to appeal to. Our Bobsztygeon contem- vears; the company to pay full taxes and assessment at the pre~ent bxsis on porary is a victim ofAtlvanccd Thoung l the. saw mill property ; and that the â€"that‘s what's the matter with him -â€" E and the result is that he is continually l advancing propositions that will be all righta few hundred years from now, but which in the present age and under existing conditions are utterly untenable. Théi‘Mini’ng Boom. The desire to acquire wealth by some rapid process being probably the most prevalent of human weaknesses, the prospect of getting it out. of a hole in the ground is very enticing; and, con scqucutly, the average man, forgetting the adage that. “all that glitters is not gold," is very apt to invest some of his hard-earned dollars in one or another of the many mines that are now being boomed in the city papers. and regard- ing which the Whitby Chronicle ex- presses its sentiments as follows : “Does anybody suppose for a mo- ment that the hundreds of mining com- panies now being formed in Toronto and elsewhere mean anything else but. robbery ? Well. who is to be robbed ‘1’, Is there anybody to be robbed besides the parties who buy their worthless shares ? Our leading newspapers pro- claim themselves the champions ol'thc people's interests. Yet for the sake of the money they get from tthc “ mining companies," they are booming them as nothing was ever boomed in Canada be. fore. They have strivcu for months to set. the people crazy on the mining qucs~ tiou, all for the divide they willch from the proceeds. Aftera time the some papers will fill their columns with long articles showing up how the public has been duped. . One finds difficulty in sullicicutly expressing the condemnation earned by the press of Toronto for its share in this plunder. When this min- ing boom started, some of the Toronto papers announced that. they were going to safeguard public interests by sending representatives to the west to report the true state of things. This led many to suppose that any attempt at public robbery would be exposed. Nothing of the kind has been done, and the pledge to publish the true state of affairs faded out before the prospect. of a rich harvest from advertising bubbles. There is hardly a man of any prominence in To- ronto or elsewhere in this province who is not at present the president of a min- ing syndicatc., Where are all the mines ? To prevent themselves from being after wards charged with fraud, the most of them get. incorporated as “ Mining Dc- velopmcnt and Investment ” companies. The investment. part of it is what. is to be served up afterwards as redeeming the pledge. We again express the hope that no person around-here will be car- ried away foolishly by this mining craze. Let our people keep their money in thcit pockets, and they will have the best mining shares. We do .notbelicvc that: one in a thousand of the investors will ever see a cent of his money back. There is a hundred times more money in promoting mines than in actual min- ' 7) Little Hector. . In our issue of a fortnight ago we made reference to this fleet-footed little equine, and at that time his Owner had sent him to Port Pcrry,_but ht- had.the misfortune to get. caught in the snow storm that was then raging. The snow was so deep that Mr. John Sykes had to trump roads through the drifts in order to get through. The result was village solicitor c instructed to draw up an agreement along those linesâ€"â€" the company guaranteeing to keep the works in operation constantly, allowing reasonable time in each year for repairs ; the company also agreeing not to enter into any business, trade or calling, in opposition to any other ratt‘paycl', with the exct-ptiou ol' the saw mill business. â€"â€"Carried. llovcd by Mr. Robson. seconded by in.
