According to an English authority who has been making a study'of the .cost of living in various countries, it costs more to live in Canada. than in any other country. Whether this is a record to be proud of or not, depends upon the way you look at it. ‘Some people take a pride paying the very highest prices for what they buy. For these Canada should have some attrac- tions. But the rank and file of the people the world over are not so fool- ish, and prefer to buy at the lowest prices consistent with good quality. The majority of the people in Canada are of this class, and they must look with envious eyes towards other coun- tries, where the necessities can be had at a lower scale of prices. Antioch is said to be the cheapest city in the world to live in. Fancy getting fresh eggs a. penny a dozen, lamb at a penny and a half per 1b., and all the vegeta- bles that a. good-sized family can eat in a. week for twenty-five cents. The first thought that will occur to many in endeavorng to find a reason for the high cost of living in Canada, is that the producers are getting too much for what they produce. These people haio never looked into market conditions and what it costs to proâ€" duce farm products. If they did they would soon come to the conclusion that the producer is not to blame. If the prices the producer in Canada gets for what he has to sell are compared, for instaiiCe, with what the producer in the United States gets, it will be found that the latter fares better on the average on the score of prices. And yet the cost of living is not as high in the United States as it is in Canada. \Vhat then is wrong? In the United States the trusts and the big men who control the marketing of the supplies are blamed for the increased cost of living. Canada is said not to have any trusts or combines. If we have nothing in the exact form of the American trust or combine, we seem to have something that is just as effect- ive in keeping prices up to a high lev- el. It matters little whether it is call- ed a trust or something else, the effect seems to be the same, and the rank and file of- the people have to pay more for their living than they should, and more than they are warranted in paying considering what the producer gets. Is it not about time then that the government or some other body did a. little investigating in Canada? The reputation of being the country of all others, the world over, where the cost of living is the highest, is not anything to be proud of. It will tend to keep people away from our shores and place this country in an unfair light. Something should certainly be done to improve our reputation in this respect. And it should be done in the interest of our own people, too. Fenelon Falls Council. At a. special meeting on August 28th, on motion of Messrs. Corbett and Doyâ€" man, a bylaw to provide for borrowing money by the issue of debentures se- cured by local rates, etc., for cement walks was introduced and passed in the usual manner.

One of Port Hope's most respected citizens, Mr. John David Smith, expired suddenly at the residence of his brother, Mr. S.,S. Smith, shortly after returning from the oillce of the Midland Loan 8.: Savings 00., of which institution he had been an auditor for a number of years. His father, E1 as Peter Smith, was a pioneer resident of Port Hope, and was manager of- the Bank of Upper Canada and Crown Lands Agent there for many years. The deceased, who was born in Port Hope in 1837, received his primary education in Port Hope, and at a private boarding school of the late Rev. Mr. Braithwaite at Chambly, Quebec, subse- quently completing his education abroad. He entered the service of the Bank of Upper Canada, and was manager at Lindsay for some time, later also being manager of the Ontario Bank in the same place. Afterwards he left banking to engage in the lumber business with the late R. C. Smith at Fenelon Falls, and at the time of his death Was one of the trustees for this estate, which has extensive realty holdings in the’Midlaud district of Ontario. In politics he was a staunch Liberal, and was elected for the Local House in North Victoria in 1875, but was unseated on a technicality. He was also connect- ed with the militia in Lindsay, and was Lieutenant of the volunteers' regiment there in the early days. About twenty- five years ago he retired from active business, and returned to Port Hope, where he served the town as Treasurer for a number of years. ' In 1863 he was married to Miss Emma Josephine Smith, who predeceased him about seventeen years ago. Three sons survive: Elias Peter, of Toronto; Rev. Carl Shuter, of Arlington, N. J., and Ver- non S., of Chicago. He was a faithful member of the Anglican Church, and sang in choirs continuously for over fifty years. Dyment, Mickie Mill Started.
