CANADA-The fall trade is going on more brskly
than any other thing in Canada now-the papers
full OF dry goods advertisements but contain no
news. From the middle Of September TO the latter
part OF October, nine-tenths OF the imported fal
goods are sold, and while this is going on, the ut
most hustle and activity prevail in the Canada ports.
Auctoneers are there important characters, and
have more to say in what is going than all others
There has been an increase of us arrivals from
sea this year over last Up to Sept. 25th there had
arrived, by the St. Lawrence, lS4 general cargoes,
of which about l25 were for Montreal. The total
number ofvessels arrived this year, is ,294. and the
total number cleared from the port of Quebec, in
GLIDING 35 from Montreal, is l,I3S
Several Improvements are taking place in Mon
trea, well through the attention given the sub
ject by the Common Council as by private enter
prise. During the last ten years, property has
markably increased in value, and nothing in the
shape OF investment has been more profitable than
house-building We accordingly observe that many
elegant edifices are everywhere going up, particular

The Elections,

IrAncSSCc.-The returns received give
us the whole state but 10 counties As
tar as heard from the democratic majority
100, and the democratic gain since the
presidential election $40! Browns MA
lorl'y will come fully up to the cxpccta-
tons raised by the first reports.
The probability is that both branches Of
the legislature will be democratic. a gain
of two senators and five representatives
having been already ascertalned. They
have lost but one representative and one
senatorial district which they carried at
the last election.
The congressional districts have all
been heard from. Six democrats and
five wings are elected.
The delegation is divided as in tie last
Congress, the wings having gained a
member in the third and tie democrats
one in the 9th district Both districts
gave majortles for Clay at the presidential
election, The democratic triumph is so
complete as to leave nothing to be de-
sired.
kc"t"cly-In the last Congress the
kentucky delegation was equally divided
D to D. All the districts have not vet been
iuIIy heard from, but it is probable that in
the next Congress it will stand three dem

The democratic gain in this State, how
ever, is most obvious in the election Of
members OF the legislature. Last year
there was tie in the Senate and wing
majority of 10 IN the House--now, the
democrats have from 10 to 10 majority in
the House, and the Senate (f the demo-
Gratis have got ma orlIy, which is proba-
ble) only remains the same as last year be-

election would have given democratic ma

Look at the "Act, "of 'I3'incorporallng

Sec. 3. The capital stock Of said com
pany shall be one million Of dollars, which
Shall be divideklnto shares Of one hun

increase said capital, TO such amount as
shall be necessary to complete sad road,
and furnish such carriages, and all other
appurtenances, for the convenient and
profitable use of said road, and snch addI-
tlona capital shall also be divided into
shares of one hundred dollars each"
"SEc. II. The stock, property and
effects of said company shall be exempt
from all taxes levied by or under the au-
thority this state"
By section three You find the corpora
ton have the right to increase the capital
stock of the company, to any amount
sufficient to complete the road, be it one
or ten millions of dollars, And by section
seventeen you also find that all money in
vested in this road is free from all taxes
levied under The authority Of this State.
According to our federal exchanges,
three millions o. dolimS, have been deemed
necessary to complete this road. One
million of which is reserved for capitalists
of this State, while the other tUo millions
is oflcred-and taken by capitalists a
broad Here then by this law, the rich
aristocrats of the state, have the privilege
of exemptng 81 ,000,0 900 oftheir property
from taxation.
How contemplate the effects Of this
law. The poor mechanic, who has some
/ TO &5000,-u Just sufficient to carry on
business, must pay taxes upon every cent
he is worth, while the rich capitalist who
take his ten to Fifteen th0us0nd dollars,
and makes profitable investment of the
same in the "Vcrmont Central Rail Road
stock" has so much free from taxation
his money is free from lax to pay the enor-

and also from future taxes. viii not ey-

Again look a, the injustice of this law
in permitting capitalists from abroad to in
vest their money among US to receive the
benefit and protection Of our laws without
taxation. Those of our citizens who have
small fortunes must pay taxes upon their
all, while the stranger may speculate in
our midst and enjoy privileges which the
poor citizen cannot.

We really did not expect to see the

father Of Pinkeyism, migH drive him on,
on that question, but we hardly thought it
WOuM.
We desire no controversy upon this
question. The Herald has, of course, a
right to defend Governor who can't
find anything else better to Go than to creep
over the State delivering small beer lectures
upon Pinkeyeism--and presiding at nut
cake-and-cheese performances called

the correction of its mi alements we will

Says The Herald:
Two Wing papers in Vermont came out
openly in favor of the anii-license parity
and 0ne locGf0co Papr-the Windham Co.
Democrat-and which is supposed to be
the especial organ ofthe loco nominee for
Gov, as thoroughly maintained the same
position. The 'Age' took the other SIDE
and with these Jom exceptions, every

The truth about the matter is, erery

WING EXTRAVAGANZA.

MR. EDIToR:-The extravaganza Of
the present state administration has been
pretty freely exposed already, but on ex-
aiming the financial reports, | frd that
half has not been told, and numerous in
stances Of the most gross extravaganza,
remain to be exposed, one or two of
which | visit to present through your col
umns to the people.
In the auditors abstract for 1913, No.
l47 reads, &C. l.. Knapp Dep. Sec'y of
State for 10 days time making index TO
Revolutionary services 10000" No. Al
of the abstract of 1914 reads as follows,
sc. l.. Knapp late Sec'y of State, for
transcribing and colaIng pay table rolls,
$4,000, )" No SO reads, &C. l.. Knapp
late Sec'y of state, for completing index
to revolutionary rolls. $50, co."
Here then the sum of $4,000 has been
paid to Mr. Knapp for whar?-seryi-
ccs rendered? No, for any tolcrabIe bu-
sincss man would have done the whole in
three months, and $4,000 would have
been a libnol compensation.
The index might have occupied Mr.
Knapp 3 or 4 weeks, and if competent
to the task that time would have been
amply sufficient The copying of the
rolls, fills but one folio volume, as large
as good sized Ledger, ola Merchant and
not larger, and could have been done
with case in ) or weeks Bat for this SER
vice those who handle the peoples money
saw fit to give MIR Knapp about $4,000,
and those who pay taxes at 10 cents on
the dollar, must furnish the funds.
There is one item more the people
should understand The report from the
Treasury department for 1874 at page
states that thc'rrcasurcrhaS paid on orders
drawn by the auditor, ol3,097,37 while
on page20 olthc auditors report he ccrti-
tics that all the orders drawn by him Cor that
year, amount 10 only Sl2,72l SO, which
is 923G,0l, less than The credit the Treas
urcr has given himself. Now one of the
two things must be true (and perhaps
bOIh) either the auditor don't know ,hot
amount of order he has drawn, or else the
Treasurer has unjustIy and wrongfully
(perhaps knavlshIy) put in his pockets
SoSG,Ol of the peoples money. Now
fellow citizens, Wings and Democrats
let me ask,-Would it do any hart, to Gil
