£ ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR PORT PERRY; APRIL 13, 1876. "To Be or Not to Be? The Railway Bonus By-law grant ing $20,000 to P. W. &P. P. R. Co'y is now before the rate payers and will be voted on Friday, 28th inst. If a majority of the voters cast their ballots in favor of the by-law the + taxepayérs will be saddled with the paymont of $20,000 and interest or w= $82,600, interest included, to be paid iy at o - . within twenty years. The voting shall be by ballot so that every voter shall have not enly perfect : freedom of action but full security * that no one but himself can possibly know how he votes and no one need have.the slightest Lesitation in . voting as he pleases, as whether he voted for or against the by-luw can unly be known to himself, and nei- ther at the time of voting nor afler- wards can any one know how an other voted, In the modeof open voting it some times happened that 'employers and parties holding. a claim against another, or panies bribing another could ~ stand 'by and watch fiow the party voted, _. and if they {id not stard by they could easily find out Ly looking over the votes how any and every one voted, but voting by ballot pats it out of the power of anyone krowing _- how another votes; neither the re turning officer nor any other one can possibly know whether a man votes for or against the by-law; and if any one should attempt to find out how another votes he is liable to a fine of $200. So that parties who do notswish the by-law to carry may vote against it without the slightest foar, ot either employer or any other one knowing whether they voted for or against it. The first question which the tax- payers will naturally put to them- selves will be, Why is this road ask ed to be extended ? To our mind the answer is obvious: The railway company bought the road at a very low figure, a figure at which it might have paid, but not one of those taking an active partin it knows -aaything about railways and the consequence is that notwithstanding that the concern was purchasgd at a low figure still it is alosing con- cern and the company. are anxious to get out of it and, if possible, make a profit. But as the road now is they cannot sell it without a sacri fice, and now they ask the munici- palities concerned to bleed to the tune of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, then the Victoria Co'y will buy up the whole concern and thus the P. W. & P. P. R. Co'y will make a good thing out of the transaction, or rather out of the ratepayers. _ Another question which the tax payers may naturally be expected 40 put to themselves will be, What effect will the extension of this road have on Por Perry ? Wo should Judge that the enquirer has not far to go for an answer. The extension will deprive Port Perry of the many advantages attendant on and unseper- "ably connected with a terminus, the present rush and activitity around the terminus will pass away and be followed by the dull, monotony and sleepiness of a quite way-station the repose being only disturbed now and then by thediscordanthootings of the "passing trains as they hurry past with the freight and passenger: from Lindsay and the intervening waystations; end if we have anything to go it will be coupled to the pass- ing train which will scarcely stop long enough to couple on to the ears which may be waiting with freigh'. That the change from a terminus 10 & wajy-station will produce such results is only what is to be expected, ~a something which never fails to | the village. If the bonus is withheld pay a bonus of $20,000 to a covetous) and unscrupulous Company to ena- ble them to take away the trade of the extension will not go on, at least under the "auspices of the present company--they will never invest another dollar in the thing; sell out they will, and séll out they must; they will doubtless sell to the Vie- toria Company whether they get the bonuses or not, all the difference being that if they get tho bonuses they will sell it to good advantage and make a handsome thing out of the simplicity of the ratepayers ; but if they don't get the bonuses they will have to sell al a small sacrifice, but sell they must. * The threats and other inquisitoriol means adopted by the company to secure their object is contemptible to the last extreme, they are pitting one municipal. ity against another, not in the matter of lo- cation of stations, or workshops or anything of that nature, but in the gamblinz process of making one municipality whip--or rather fright ther into ting whatever bonus may be desired lest the company take the trade from the municipality refusing and give it to the munleipality which panders to their cupidity. All sorts of bugbears are being sct up by the company and their run- ners to induce the covetous and frighten, timid ones into giving just such a bonus as the cupidity of the company may suggest. In this instance Port Perryis made to firighten Reach, and Reach is held forth as a bug bear to Port Perry ; the knowing ones threatening Port Perry with annihilation if she refuses to screw $20,000 out of the tax- payers for the benefit of said company. The road is to be carried away in some other dir. ection, away by Wick, or the moon, or some where ; or Reach is going to give a big bonus and get such a reduction in the carri- age of grain from Manchester as will draw all the grain trade thre and leave Port Perry a vast howling wilderness. These and a thousand other threats no less silly, are be- ing dinned in the ears of the taxpayers of Port Perry from day to day witha view of inducing them to vote away their money as a gift. to the railway company. Docs any one believe fora moment that this system of miscrable brigandage would be tolerated for a single day in the Chancery Chamber? Not a bit of it! Fol- lowing out this course our whole railway taaflic would degenerate inté the most vici- ous description of gambling and fraud ; and any railway company could ut any time, ap- ply its inquisitorial screws and extort any amount of bonus which its cupidity might prompt. Take two municipalities, situated some five or slx miles apart ; and suppose that the railway company desired to extort fifty or sixty thousand dollars from these two municipalities ; the company might hire tools--there are always plenty of such pur- chasable commodity--and sends these tools into one of the two muicipalities with an offer to reduce the tariff of freight from that municipality say ten or twelve per cent below that of the other municipality on payment "of a bonus of, say, $10,000.-- Then let them go to the other municipality with a similar offer, both municipalites would be frightened out of their wits, and in order to save their business each of them would be forced into giving, even to the would thus degenerate into a swindle and a curse. We have no heritancy in asserting-- and we would be very willing to bear a por- tion of the expense of testing it--that the Court of Chancery would stamp out the very tirst altempt to any such fraud; and no parliament that ever sat would tolerate any such iniquity, if the matter were brought oefore them, The simple idea of any such system of fraud must be revolting to every mind capanib of entertaining the faintest glimmerings of fair play and honorable deal. ing. 'Under such circumstances it would be a very simple matter for any company to demand any amount they pleased from two or three neighboring municipalities--all that is necessary is to demand two or three thous- and dollars more than they wished and spend the surplus on missionaries, the pat- riolic spoutings of paid missionaries joined to the fear of losing their business would fetch the bonuses from the municipalities. A bonus of $10,000 fora certain railway was asked for from two of our northern mun- icipalities ; when it came to tie vote the by- law was defeated ; certain of the officials met on the evening of the defeat, when one of them speaking out said that they were all fools! if they wanted $10,000 they should have asked $15,000 and used the $5,000 in buying up patriotic mi-sionaries to spout the thing through. The advice was followed and the by-law was carried, What guarantee have the public that the P.W.& P.P.R.Co'y will fulfil their prom- ises as to low freights, etc,? Not the 0! a a year. without reason. Office. proof. The Mowat Government make miserable farmers. Archy McKellar tickled their fancy with his exploits as a farmer, especially his fall plow- ing, and in order to give hima chance to display his {alent, if he had one, the Government bought the Model Farm ; but it was soon found that Archy"s system of farming might be very good in itself, but it was of little public interest, and Archy was shifted. However the Model Farm went on and it has proved a handsome bill of expense. Setting the investment at $50,000, the annual interest of this sum. is $3,000 and the annual expense of maintenance is over $30,000. So that including the interest on the investment the annual cost of the Model Farm may be set down at $33,000. During the past year some thirty-two pupils have attended the Farm, so that each pupil costs the province about one thousand dollars Is such a toy not a little too expensive ? of course the Gov- ernment don't care however expen- sive it be if it only supply places for partizans, but the taxpayers who have to furnish the funds ought to speak out in language not to be mis- understood. It is ail very well for a corrupt and spendthrift Govern- ment to purchase support on the most reckless terms, but the taxpay- ers are the greater fools if they allow their money to be so squandered. rn Farming a Failure. !

Since the erection of that office, some of the best offices in the Province have been modeled after that pattern.-- "That our Registry office should be perfectly fire proof is a sine quo non That the County of Ontario contains from forty to fifty million dollars worth of Real Estate cannot be doubted and that office contains the documents establishing the claims of the several owners of all this proper- ty which documents would at all times be exposed to accident by fire if the office were not perfectly fire- Our new Registry Office is fire proof in the stoictest sense of the term, so that whatever documents are placed there are beyond the reach f fire, and this fact must afford con- and appropriation to getrid of all obligation we have not the | slightest doubt ; but were they not to sell what is to prevent them renewing their trick and coming to the people of Port Perry, and telling them that they cannot afford to carry grain or two and a half cents per bushel for wheat and two for barley, and unless the village give a bonus of twenty or thirty thousand dollars the tariff will have to be raised from Port Perry, and if Port Perry refuse Reach will give a bonus and the tariff from there will not be mised, and that this will kill the business of Port Perry and di. vert it to Reach, So that there need be no end to the screwing bonuses out of mumici- palities. All that is necessary is to fight them aginst each other--make them pay or ruin their trade. The Company's threat to draw off the ears during winter is palpable proof of how they will fulfill their promi and how long they will carry grain at the reduced tariff when it does not pay to do so. If a bonus of $137,000 ean't induce them to tun the road more than six months in the year how much will they put themselves out for a bonus of $20,000. They would not run six menths ere they would demand either an additional bonus or a raise in the tariff, or they might take the pet and shut down the road--they might threaten it at least, If) gither Port Perry or Reach give them a u they are greater simpletons than goes ov for everything The mannfasturing interests of 80 mach, i of the County Town are not so extensive as we would like them to be what is there is of the creditable alike to and the town. n , on Friday las © works ; but right stamp, It afforded us much he Jo Lub over n& P The the ts placed n the custody ot the County Re- gistrar.

' wl Krone ep Teron, 1, Dated the 27th day of March, A.D. 1876, [ADVERTISEMENT] In the Field for 1876. D. Urquhart is again in the field soliciting orders for the Kirby Mowers and Reupers for 1876, and begs to return his thanks to the farming public for the very liberal suppert extended to him in the way of orders during the last two years, and would ask for a stronger support.in the future in way of pur- chasing these excellent Machines as the public know their supericrity, being second to none in the Dominion. These Machines came ont victorious twenty times in active field trials Iast haying and harvest against all pet and other Machines in the Dominion and also obtained Some thirty prizes duri ; full shows arid exhibitions of 1875. It is a well known fact that the machines sold by me in this section of country during the last two years required little or no repail, and also that many of the farmers who purchased did and will to-day testify that the the Kirby machines are the lightest draught and the most durable machine they ever used, and the work done by them was all that could be desived. Reach, Brock, Mariposa, Scugog, Cartwright, Darlington, i Whitby and pact of Ops is the district which I have secur. ed for myself and agents the sole right to travel and solicit orders from those of the farming public who may be pleased to pur- chase machines, I trust that the farmers of these townships may favor me with their ore ders for reapers and Mowers for the coming harvest. A full stock of repairs are kept on hand at the Sign of the Plow, Port Perry, in case they might be required through pel. dents occurring. Mowers and Reapers, com. bined and single are always set up and in- Shection is solicited before ordering any other nd. D. UR ART.
