THE LICENSE SYSTEM.

4f,.t &C. &c. .rr 80
A Section of the City Press is in
lanscr of falling into CARVE error,
when they undertake to advocate serious
ly the abolition of all Licenses. All We
have been looking to see what good
reasons, aud on what grounds, on what
principle of any sort of known or
unknown Economy, this Utopian cheme
can be supported. We have heard much
acknowledgement and wordy de,Iunciation,
we have read many accusations against
the odiousness of the system, but from
no quarter have we discovered more
plausible pretexts than these; first, licenses
are too high, and second, they ought to
be abolished because they are not half
collected /; neither Of which can endure
the test of an argument, any more than
you could advocate abstinence from the
use of thing because some people
will cbuse it. We go hand in hand with
that section of the Press, which advocates
reform in the Licensing system, and
which contends that there should be
some connection between the amount Of
license and the Revenue of the Licensed
party. There is no doabt that under the
prccent mode of fixing the amount of q
license, much that is wrong must be
inflicted, while many of those callings,
which are iallowed by keen sighted,
knowing ones will through their vigilance
in representation, escape the contribution
they aught to bear tothe support of the
Local Government But this is no
argument against the system of taxation.
There is also another consideration in
the assessment of licenses, there should
be some correspondence between the
payment to the City, for the protection
afforded by it's Police, its Courts, its
surveillance, and the amount of protection
which certain avocation mny require in
the interest of society, the City to
afford. For instance, there are more
appliances demanded from the City in
connexion with Bar room, or Brothel
than with grocery, or Brokers office
And yet the chances are that in conse
quence of the neglect of observing thi
fact, while prominence may have beer
given to some minor considerations, tn
peaceful avocation has contributed NOR
towards the 81 p or of Police institution
, than the one VINO habitually deals i
them. These are really the matter
: that deserve and demand attention.

DETROIT MARKET.

DETROIT, NOV. ~.
The conjunction Of Thanksgiving week and
an almost abrupt closing OF navigation tend to
produce quietness in business circles. Already
our docks look dreary, and in the course OF az
ether week all departments Of trade will have
settled down on winter basis. 1t must be
said that the outlook is not fatteriDg mer-
chandise generally has softening value, so
much 30 that money cries aloud for something
to do. Speculation, therefore, is likely to be
dormant-without more or less Of the spirit OF
speculation in trade, dulness is inevitable. On
tho other hand, there is nothing seriously dis
couragng in view ahead. The many trials
through which business has passed SINCE 1857
instlnctively make operators cautious; the az
gregate liabilities are comparatively light; t.
nancial resources ere abundant, and altogether
if trade shall be light during tine next so days,
it shall also be safe. II the poor have labor all
will be we'll. Breadstuffs now claim but little
attention. So dull fall has rarely boon eXpe-
rienced here. The demand has tapered to moth
and ia in sorry contrast with the activity which
prevailed ia the early part Of the season. Flour
is literally drug the warehouses arc getting
crammed, and now that grain is lowering and
by rail is the only means of transportation, no
body wants it. Very choice brands are offered
at $6.75, and probably as good as is in the mar
ket Is to be got for 81. Country millers should
not deceive themselves this winter. Wheat
has been slowly but steadily declining. The
amount in elevator is only about $50, 900 BUSH
els and the receipts are not much moro than
enough for city consumption. Farmers can
decide whether it will pay better to hold TIL
spring than sell now by placing tho extra cost
of rail freight and winter insurance against
cheap water freights and no cost for insurance
in the spring The extra costs have all to come
out OF the grain, OF its owner. No wonder then
that the receipts are light, while even il Liver
pool shall be dull in the eprlnG, tho demand
can not be less than now. Closing ratas to-day
