ChrOttawaCimes MOON BLINDNES3 OF THE TORONTO and at **Governor‘* Hiuwocs may have its effect upon the readers of the Toronto Telegraph, the eepecial organ of the Prenmer of Ontario, but it can have no weight asserts, there has been a recent montlary negotiation between the Minister of Finance for the Domision and the Honorable the Treasurer of Ountario, of the most simple and hlb'mmon‘nnflâ€"' of the Domimen had been placed and are still kept in the custody of the chief of our monied institationsâ€"the Bank of Montrealâ€" wanted, on which they were willing to pay interest, and refused to take more than they had, except as a deposit without | interest. This is the simple statement of fact. Now money is a commeodity and has its price. The Bank, having all that its managers wanted at interest, continued to receive all that was offerel to it without paying anyâ€" thing for it. _ A large sum soon accumulated to the credit of the Dominion in the Bank, which, so far as the Dominion was con= cerned, remained unproductive, and might as well have been kept in an old stockâ€" ing, or at the boitom of a well. Money was, however, due to the Province of Ontaâ€" ricoon the frst of January next, and it ocâ€" curred to Sir Fraxom â€"Hrzors that the Doâ€" minion might profit, ani the Province of Ontario have the opportunity also of gaining something, Af the money nearly due to Ontaâ€" rio, lying unproductive in the Bank of Mon treal, were at once paid. There was a sum of about $500,000 due by the Dominion to Ontario, and Sir Fraxcm Himsocs wrotes private note to Mr. Treasurer Woop offering to pay this sum on the 1st of December, proâ€" vided the interest, say 4 per cent., or about $1,600, were deducted. _ When the Bank oi Montreal had refused to pay interest on more money than they could then use on account of the Dominion, Sir Fraxcis H1xcxs offered to pay Ontario, a menth before it was due, a large sum of money on being paid interest at the highest current rate of intereat for of Oir Fraxcus Hryous‘ ordinary shrewdness in this, and Mr. Treasurer Woop, had he been equally shrezd, would have accepted the proposed arrangement, in which eveni the Domision would bave gained $1,800, and Mr. Woon would hare been enabled so to manipulate as to gain the use of the capital and still not lose the interest. Sir Fraxcis took the ground that the money Iying idle on account of the Dominion, was worth to the Onizrio Government its rate of interesi for a month, and gould be used by the Onâ€" tario Government in such a way as to make it pay. Mr. Woop didâ€"not see it, and, oddly enough, the organ of Mr. Jonw Saworisn Macpo®arp, the Premier of Ontario, blutts out something about the leatherâ€"headedness of Mr. Buatr. There surely was very little to blame and much ‘w commend in ths simple, proposed, monetary transaction beâ€" tween Sir Fuaxow Hi®tcts and Tremsurer It is a grand thing for «* the people‘"‘ when their State Treasurers have so much money that they l..u not what to do with it Could they oniy be Prazopts, they might distribute here a little and there a little and found asylums for the deaf, damb, and bliad elsewhere thas in Bellevilie, VICE, &c., &e., &o. } Mr. Basour, the people of Englaad, and the President and press of the United States, may look upon the income tax as unjust, in principle and oneâ€"sided in practice, but the Toronto Globe entertaing no such silly notion. Un the contrary, that influential organ of public opinion, and panderer to the meattest prejudices of the unthinking, asserts that an imcome tax is right and proper in itself, and bears equally upon rich and poor, high +nd low, an examp‘e of which the appendix to the petition of sthe officers of the Civil Service at Ortawa affords so very strikingly that: a firm in this city, whose head is an Alderman, THE #GLOBE"* AND THE CIVIL 8ERâ€" gives it. The Globe may believe in the‘exâ€" pedicney of the income tax as a source of munpicipal revenue, when it is wvonâ€" ite operation, but the Glebe has no right to make its readers believe that . the Tess lancies for a moment that the meaning of the worls municipal body merely covered the few who represent the city corporate. That which we meant to say and do say is that the city of Ottawa legislates acainst the Dominâ€" ion Government employees, while the emâ€" ployees _ are utterly _ powerles to combat such legislation, having neither voiee in the City Council . nor FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1869.

If they beneft in such improvements as are made they do not equally benefit with richer citizens. They pay more and do not derive greater benefit than do the rich traders ot the city. The very Mayor of Ottawa escapes Municipal Income tazation. Mr. C:ilmour, apparently, has no income, and nine members of the city Council _ are _ equaliy â€" wanting . in anything _ appromching to a . yearly allowance. _ BHow they live, poor men, it is difficult to ascertain.,,. In one thing the Globe is correct. The assessors harve oo« a bachelor enjoying that income.. Ridicn« lous the woes of married life may be, in the eyes of the Globe, but the fact is still there that an income tax, as it is intended to be ‘applied, is unequal in effec: and outrageously unjust‘ in principle. It does apply more heavily upon Government employees than thing to do with a rateâ€"payer‘s incumâ€" brances, but these incumbrances nevertheless materially lessen one man‘s income as comâ€" pared with another‘s, â€" The law is unjust because it takes from ervery man‘s whole earnings, without any regard to cireumâ€"~ stances, a pro rata alice. ItAs unjust beâ€" cause it does not and cannot discriminate. It is the impossibility of discrimination, in a word, which conastitutes its iojustice. A man with a large salary and a smail family can, if he chooses, accommodute himself to cireumstances, by living meanly, weariog a battered hat, threadâ€"bare cont, and trowsers Jdarned at the knees, aod ‘shuttrog himeelf and his belongings up in the smallest possible paid, and, if the victim refuses, the Police Conrt is, as the Globe suggests, assuredly at his service. The Globe anys as loog asclerks, professional men, mechanics, and others are tazed on their salames, which are not cerâ€" tainties, it is manifestly uojust to exempt officials whose salaries are paid with reguâ€" larity, Did any one ever~before hear of euch monsense? â€" The wages ot the mechanics, and the salaries of ordinary clerks,are as reguâ€" larly and well paid as are official salaries. The laborer :s worthy of his hire, and, withâ€" out it, will not work,. That which we conâ€" tend is that Ottawa has no right, for purâ€" poses ul its own, to drain specially any clase of men, and, it the city. does so insist, its limits will sbortly require to be very much Civil Servants‘ petition is sufficient proof of are detrived from sources, which can be levied upon in such a way as to cover the impositions of <the Assessor, while ordinary salaries of merchants‘ clerks and othersâ€"â€" the illâ€"used public teacher of youth, not exceptedâ€"seldom come up to even ths taxâ€" against a particular class, and the intended legislation is legislation: of the worst kindâ€" class legislation.

A moment may change that to nothing. $620 only to maintain them, the same tax as is no longes: President of the Council, is very differect from that of the World, of New York, and all the world besides.
