The pres- ence of Hon. Arthur Meighen, Con- servative leader of the Opposition, and his strong denunciations against. the King Government, has led to. many of the strong Liberal speakers' living rushed into the campaign. To break the majority of 7,000 taken. by Hon. Mr. Kennedy in the former con- to-st. is scarcely to be hoped for, but a hig reduction may be easily con- ceived. Moreover, North Essex has a strong French element and these are likely to go with the almost solid phalanx of compatriots and co-reli- ginnists from the Province of Que- lim'.

On the eve of the battle both sides are feeling confident of success and looking for victory as the result of to-day’s poll- ing. Mr. Healy, the Government candidate, is being opposed by Col. Robinson, the standard-bearer of the (.lonservative party. The contest I! ”All! 0! run: DEAD? The Board of Trade seems to have gone into the discard, and for a long time it has never been heard of. This is not as it should be and especially it we wish to attract industries to the town. Some will say our past experiences have not been crowned with much success but that's no reason for giving up in despair. We believe an active Board of Trade is an essential to any town. It isn't necessary to pick up everything that is offered. but to he ever on the alert‘ to get in touch with idustries that will make for material prosperity. Durham is and always has been too conservative in some respects. A Board of Trade is just as much of a neressity as a Town Council and each should work in harmony with the other. linfortunately, we have always had too many knockers in town. and we’ll not be going too far afield to say we have had too many petty jealousies. There seems, to he a lack of up-toâ€"dateness in the peo- ple and the progressive/man is liable to be looked on with suspicion. This is not as it should be. Let us get out of the rut. Get a Board of Trade and get something worth while when it romes. We'll have failures. but there will be nothing gained by pointing over them.

It creates uncertainty and lack of confidence where cer- tainty and confidence are needed. The farther we advance in civiliza- tion the more we come to depend upon one another and also upon our emernment. In a simpler state of society when the family prmlucml largely for its own consumption the money of the country made little dif- ference to it. Now that everyone produces for some one else and de- pends upon some one else to prodtn-e what he wants it is of the greatest importance that the money with which he buys and sells be trust- worthy. Anything that creates lack of t'HlllldPllCP in the sounc'lness of money. or doubt about it, is espe- cially demnral izing. Although the taxpayer is not call- eil Upon to give so large a part of lhis money to the government, his l money will buy less, and so he hears the burden just. the same. . It makes little difference to him whe- ther he turns over one tenth of his money income to the government as taxes and the other nine tenths re- tains its full purchasing power, or whether he keeps the whole of his monev and its pine hasing |H)\\el' drops to nine tenths of what it “as. He has as Illlltil to consume in one ~ase as in the othei and the gm ern- ment coxts him the same either \\ ax. .\'o plan has \et been imented by which a peaceahle nation can get something without paying for it. Any increase of the currency that is not accompanied with,a corres- ponding increase in the number of things that. are for sale must neces- sarily decrease the purchasing pow- er ot' each unit of the currencyâ€"the. dollar. the pound. the franc or the mark. When that fact is considered it. become-s‘plain that, the how: of avoiding taxation by issuing paper is without foundation. Certain modern governments that call themselves democratic have gone eVen farther than the old auto- cratic governments ever thought of going. and with worse results. In- stead of dehasing the coinage they have printed paper money to pay the hills of the government. When every employee of the government and ev- eryone who has sold anything to the government is offered govern- ment paper in payment there is not much he ran do except. take it. From the point of view of the person thus situated. there seems to be no good reason why he should not accept it. Even to the st‘iort-sighted taxpayer it may appear to be a better method 01' paying the hills of the govern- ment. than resorting to taxation; but, to the person who looks ahead it is W'OI‘SP than disquieting. PAPER ID!!! All) 'rnmon (The Youth’s Companion.) It used to be a favorite device of autocratic governments when they were in need of money to debase the coinage. They did it by melting down the Old coins and reminting the metal into new ones of lighter weight or. with more alloy. Royal Idecrees threatened with punishment .all who should refuse to accept the new coins as the equivalent of the old. It seemed like a profitable bus- iness for the government, Besides, it could be supported by the always popular argument that it enabled the government to pay its bills with- i out taxing the people. But no royal ‘ decree could make the new coins purchase as much as the old ones. especially after most of the old coins had disappeared and been replaced by the new and lighter ones. Monday.
