a AmES BAIRD, RE I TR TE SS I PORT PERRY, MARCH 30, 1876 RE = -Save Me from My Friends. We 'noticed last "week when speak- "ng. of MeKeuzio & Co's Nabobian extravagance, that amongst the "subsidized tools of the spendthrift Government was the Canadian News, ,a paper published in London, Eng- land, for the sole purpose of puffing tho McKenzie and Mowat Govern- ments, and issuing the mandates of the regal Jenkins. The puffing organ was hired to the tune of $3,300 a year jpeed from the * earnings of the Cafiadian taxpayers. But when the McKenzie Govern- ment had to cut Jenkins and his retinue adrift and save the $270 a week which they drew from Canada, the Canadian News lost its yearly subsidy of $3,300. Whea the News was at its meridan splendor extoling the McKenzie Government and all {heir acts it was then claimed that it was the subsidy that was speak- ing; but the Government organs scouted the idea and asserted that the News wus a disinterested specta- tor and only praised because praise was due. Bat how mig)y soon has this disinterested speotator changed : his tune since the subsidy dried up. | Listen to what the same Canadian News says now, and it tells tie truth for once :-- "Complaints are made of the political cow- ardice of the. Ministry, their weak and vacil-| lating policy, and an utter failure on their part to comprehend their true position. In- stead of acting upon some broad and com-| prehensive principles which would comin; end | themselves to the colonists, they are de- scribed as devoting their time to mere petty and minute details." ANOTHER ORGAN SADLY OUT OF TUNE. The Collingwood Bulletin, a paper which up till now lived, moved and bad its being from Alex. McKenzie & Co. and which paid most religious worship to its creators and preser- vers, fawning upon them at every step and extoling their every act; but finding that the day is fast ap proaciing when there will be none 86 mean as do them reverence the ungrateful Bulletin appears anxious to give them a Brutus stab. Hereis| what thé Bulletin says of them :-- «The blighting DLreath of many curses follows the track of the Reformer, and cor ruption sits clothed in high places. . and the general distrust which ev has for every other man, and .then a gelf if the Government of Mr. Mc ought to stand. * * Unless some meas. utes be speedily adopted by the people of thi es' ta su nobody can predict the disastrous conse- quences which may follow," We have no fault to find with the remarks of the Bulletin, the only misfortune is that they are too true; and such stabs coming from the, hand of former worshipers must sini deep. At this rate a few weeks will suffice to change the tuno.of alkthie organs. Seriously, itis high time that the McKenzie burlesque was brought to an end. If the country is to be saved from utter ruin and disgrace, if the flecced and tax-ground inhab- itants are not to be driven from the from the country, our commerce and manufactories irrotrievably ru- ined and lost,then it is time that the McKenzie farce was drawn to aclose If Canadians wish to see our skil- _ Jed labor driven from the land or 'become paupers in it let them pro- long the McKenzie regime a little longer. Read the following from the "Ambitious City," Hamilton :-- "Over 1185 meals have been distributed at the soup kitchen during the last week and 4he demand on the City Aid Society bas been E than any former week. . This is ow- sing to the large number coming to the city wxpecting to get immediate railway employ- EE it are thrown upon : public charity."

So that this famons extension would cost the ratepayers of Port Perry thirty-two thousand and six hundred dollars (832,600 fosinding the inter- est. The assessed value of the proper- ty of the village for the present year doubtless amount to $400,000, then the railway tax will be 55 cents on every hundred dollars assessed value or $5.50 on every thousand dollars assessed value--a little tool much to give fora whistle which will makesuch wretched music as this extension will do to the inhabitants And what are the ratepayers to receive for this vast expenditure? 'Nothing ! absolutely nothing / less-than nothing, -in- fact, dead loss. The present terminus will be transformed into a simple way station similar to that of Man- chester or Brooklin. Engine houses turn-tables and all the work and] the village. and bustle indispensable ata {er- winug will all disappear 'and A amvin freight has to be removed | will sit quietly on the switch, await- the arrival of the cars. and as We To pay the By invest- on the line, justso much less will como to this market. We admit that all these ghttering promises were predicated on the tariff from Port Perry remaining as it was, and this talk f a reduction (we believe it is only talk) is going back upon Lind- say, for it was held out to Lindsay that the freight from there would be only 4 cts a bushel while from Port Perry it was 3 cts; so that Lindsay could well afford to give such prices for produces would bring the farm- ers residing as near Lindsay as to Port Perry to the Lindsay market. We have no faith in the carrying out of the reduced freightage dodge, for various reasons. The Company complain that they are losing money at the present rates, and 1f they lose money at "Carrying wheat 20 miles at 3 cents a bushel will the prdfits on carrying it 46 miles for 4 cents a buslel be such as enable them to carry at 2% cents from Port Perry--if so this is one of the railway mysteries. Do the company pot ex- pect to carry much grain from Port Perry after the road is extended ?-- Besides were the company to agree wlower the tariff* what would it amount to? so son as the bonuses ano secured they will sell out to the Victoria Company and that company won't be foolish enough to carry freight and lose by it. We may be told shat whatever obligation is un- dertaken by the present company will bind the purchasors--we don't believe a word of it ! and if it did could not the company soon bather shippers into giving a fair price for thio carraige of their grain or other freight. They need not refuse to carry grain at the reduced freight, but they could not be forced to sup- py whatever cars were required, and if they lost by the transaction they would furnish precious few cars for the conveyance of grain at rates under that at which they can afford to carry it. The proposed reduction in freights will prove to be an un- mitigated farce; and if it. were real what would it amount to ! 8 There are already debentures standing against the corporation amounting to $27,000, the simple interest of this sum, Without paying a dollar of principal will be $1,620 per annum. So that whatever loose change the taxpayers may have after paying their legitimate debts may be well invested in the Cartwright Bridge, a work of the utmost im- portance to four municipalities ; and after providing for needful improve- ments there will be little left to give in way of bonus to hire the railway company to deprive the village of all 'he advantages she derives from having the ter qinus located bere.-- Under the circumsianees we ¢annqt believe it possible that the propose. by-law will have the support of fifty voters within the corporation. But the principal of the 827,000 of debentures will have to be pad some day ; and these are all ten year debenture, and to pay the principal will require $2,700 a year for ten years, which with the interest will amount to $4,300 the first year; $4,138 the second, and so ondecreas- ing $162 every year during the ten years. Again say that it required $10,000 to build the Cartwright Bridge, this would require a rate of $1,600 tho first year with $60 lees less each year till the whole is paid. Hero is an annual payment of be- tween five and six thousand dollars every year not including the railway bonus which would be a useless ex- penditure, Neither an individual nor a corporation is likely to get fat by trying tolive on the interest of its tdebts. We think we hear some one say that we need not pay the prirci- pal of the $27,000 of debentures, . we can let them run to the end of the term and renew--this is a profitless business. At the rate at wlich we sold our last debentures the $27,000 would net us scarcely $23,000, so that we would lose $4,000 on the transaction. And while we get only $23,000 we would have to pay both the principal and interest ot $27,000. !| This floating of debentures is no bey ter than it is called. The towns of Lindsay and Whitby alone will reap any local advantage trom the proposed extension, the former reaping much ths greater ot , | the two; but they are paying nothing compared to what is demanded from Port Perry. They, both together, g s | according to their assessed value,on-|{ ly pay one dollar for every two de- ry dollar paid by Lindsay ove-and.a- 'manded from Port Perry, For eve- | either more truth or more poetry, o or| lots of both. "Then certain men of Be * gothercd themselves together. And to them came | every one that wag in debt, and every one that had gone surety, and every one who had been a robber, and also certain others who wished to be. And they said, are not lots of the people fools ? Let us ' demand of fuss ve may . aed not die. that they will give us a bonus railway. 8 * And it came to pass tha the opis gave | them bonuses for they said to the people ye shall profit much more thereby. And the people borrowed much money, and gave it to those who did ask bonuses. And when a certain time was passed, the debt pressed heavily on the people, ard they hom it shall our; looked around, and there none to pay the debt. And the men who had taken the bonuses had gone into.distant lands, and did eat, and drink, and make merry. And the sheriff took hold of the inherit. ance of the foolish people, Sag did sell the same," 'Which We Rise to Explain. In a small clearing among the pines on the shores of Lake Seugog is a little hamlet) known in ils own neighborhood by the appellation of Port Pemry. This obscure settlement contains a newspaper which goes by the namo of the Observer, in -whose last issue we find the following : ¢ More than its share,--The Brantfordonians will have to buckle into the liquor consumption. 21 tavern and 19 shop licenses granted, the taverns have to pay $150 each and the shops: $120 each, so that 'the total amount of licenses to be paid in fp the town of Brant-- ford will be $6,480, something rather hand- somelfor a one-horse town." The wicked libel on our beautiful fown is not worthy of refutation, Lut if the editor of the Observer will look again he will find that pur Coun~ cilors have changed their original 'plan and struck off some of the revenue to accrue from licenses. We are rich down here, Mister, and don't place licenses high to make money, but only to show our princi- ples. Morcover, our tipplers, unlike the Scugog squatters, drink thelr liquor retail. -- Tt's a different matter with the Port Perryites who consume it wholesale, and get a large perce..tage off for cash, In such places as that, dealers of course cannot afford to pay much for licenses. Toe thing is plain enough when you see through it.-- Brantford Expositor, From the above it will be seen that our esteemed cotem. has little regard for the feelings of those who mAy have the misfor- tune to run up against his somewhat dignified town. Brantford by a stretch of the law and an ordinary share of ambition has secured for herself the dignity of Town. Nowadays there are not a few stick-in-the.mud towns who put on airs and become supercilious towards their younger and humbler sisters, villages. When our cotem. speaks of Port Perry as being " a small clearing among the pines" he speaks of her as she wasa few years ago ; the clearing is now thirty or forty wiles in circumference and Port Perry is now one of thé most active, prosperous bus- iness centres in the province, and if she har not already donned the toga and assumed the dignity and title of town itis only on account of her modesty, for she is justly en- When brantford will still be decked jn her well- titled to that honorable distinction. worn, thread-bare labiliments as an aged town, Port Perry in her royal robes es a dis- tinguished city, will be marching on in the of Here all is hurry and go ahead, while peace and plenty reign over all The "small now sends two representatives to Parliament front ranks of the municipalities the Dominion. clearing" --one to the Commons and one to the Local --ncarly every man in the village is either a Government official or expecting to be fuch, while our J, P's are as plentiful as Llackber- ries in August; The meanest thing. in the village--the Commissioner of £rv..:fe Works --struts our streets in his kids and shining plug.
