CANADA TIRED or FREE TRADE IN MONEY!
The people Of Canada have had brief trial
of open trade in money. The result has been
disastrous in the extreme, and efforts are
making to have the old law restored. The
Hamilton Spectator says that money lenders
have taken advantage of the usury laws, and
charged 90 and SO per cent. for the use OF
money. This must be very oppressive in q
poor country, and can only be endured when
speculation is rife, and high prices obtained
for produce and all commercial commodities.
Experience should have its influence upon
our own State.-[ Alb. Jour.

for the examination Of the Public Schools of

the Importance of our Public Schools being
made in oil respects equal to our private and
select schools; nor to urge the salutary in
huences resulting from frequent visitations
and examinations of the pupils. The exam
nations will be continued few days longer.
The Public Schools will close on the 7th day

the current term with none Of the cap-trap
incident to similar organisations, but little
is known to the public Of their condition and

communities, generally, are more ignorant
OF the condition, management and progress
OF their Public Schools than of any other
matter in which they are as deeply inter-
ested.
We purpose, In few short articles, as far
as practicable, to supply this want; though
apersonal visitation by the taxpayers and

satisfactory assurances OF their eficiency.-

part OF the city. II was essential, to ensure
success, that the place be made at once com.
Portable and cheerful, and, when the means
OF the District justified tho expense, to make

erously to the application Of the Board OF
