BOARD BUSINESS.

man,-An Objection to Otta-
was Four.

The regular summer meeting Of the Board
of Supervisors was called to order by Clerk
John McKeon on Monday afternoon at two
o'clock, All the members were in their seats,
something unusual on first day, and but
for several new faces the board looked about
as usual. Mr.. McKeon called to order with
a quick energetic call, and mentioned that
the election Of a chairman was about as i'm
perative matter as the board could well
grasp as an initiatory move.
Mr.. william II, Mcintyre of Allen pro-
truded his six feet Of new business suit
through the atmosphere and placed Mr.
Henry Gum in nomination, following this
with motion that the clerk be instructed to
cast the ballot of the board for Mr.. Gum.
This motion carried without comment, and
MIR. Gum sent over to "Mitch's' for box
of XX's. They subsequently, disappeared
from the box.

and hemp, the only other articles upon
which congress, 10 tickle and delude the
farmers, has thought II worth while 10
place a tariff. Is any farmer In Illinois, or
the west anywhere, damphool enough TO
imagine that he can ever be injured by
competition with free CdaddiaR buck
wheat As for potatoes when the crop Is
good, they are always too low to bear trans.
portarion, ana our farmers are glad 10 get
30 to Scots bushel nj home. When the
crop Is short and the price nigh, rs during
last season, Il would have been godsend
10 our farmers If Canadian competition had
cut the figures down, as II cost them many
thousands Of dollars 20 get seed potatoes
for this summers planting. As for flax
and hemp few western farmers have been
fools enough 70 engage in the cultivation
of these, though goodness knows there has
never been want Of high enough tariff to
afford perfect security against outside
competition.
Moths whole list OF tariff taxes on
foreign products Of the farm is a deluslCn
and fraud, connected to blind the eyes of
the farmer and keep him quiet under the
mountain of taxation he Is compelled to
bear In return. For this sham exclusion of
Canadian wheat, buckwhe&t and onions, he
pays a tax on every article of clothing he
wears, on every farm implement he uses,
and 80 10 30 per cent on every dollars
worth of groceries he buys. The bed he
sleeps on, the chair he sits on the table he
eats from, hi. every knife, fork, spoon and
plate are taxed.
No wonder farm property is kept down.
In 1860 the farmers owned half the prop
erty of the nation in 1870 two'fifths, and
In 1880 one.third. Meantime the dggre-
gate of the property of the nation shows
less than proportionate increase to pspu.
lation. The effect of excessive tariff taxa
ton has only been to transfer the wealth
of the farmer to the cities, which have had
boom after boom, while farm wealth has
decayed. At present the hand OF desolstion
lies most heavily on farm property In Penn
sylvania, New York and New England
but 1t is rapidly moving westward, anu the
day is Fastening on when In this country,
as In Germany, Austria and Russia, the
farmers will be little else than the serfs of
the city money lords, by whom, In addition
to tariff taxation, the rest of their earnings
will be swallowed up TO meet the interest
on the mortgages by which all the ia
property Of the land by that time will be
plastered over.

that he can't convert democrats to cheap

WEDNESDAY, MORNING.

Mr.. Griffin said that the cutters around
the court house square were causing consid-
cradle kicking among the citizens generally,
but that they we're graded according to grade
Of the streets and need not be changed.
Mr.. Armstrong said that since the spring
election there had been no committee on
public buildings, and that he would be in
tensely tickled to receive information that
would sustain the authority Of the committee
in making the several Improvements about
the court house without the authority Of the
board. (Mr. Armstrong referred to the re-
pairing of the water pipes and the painting
Of the cornice.)
Mr.. Griffin said that the cornice was rust
ing and the water pipes busted, and as the
only way to save the property was to pairt
and repair them, the committee took 1t upon
themselves to do the work.
Mr.. Fischer admitted that the work had

There is always two sides to question,
even the apparently inexplicable has Its
reasons and Its wherefores. When II was
definitely announced that the new electric
street railway was to go down Clay st., and
the gentlemen soliciting signers to the
petition for the road approached Mr..
w. c. Riale and others on that street, Mr..
Riale and his neighbors refused to grant
their request, For this action Mr.. Riale
has been by some hasty persons, threatened
with q Boycott. Mr.. Riale believes, and
perhaps not without some foundation that
the intention Of the railroad people was to
20 south on Fillmore st., to Illinois Av.,
but finding that the people on that street,
above Clay, were adverse to II, selected
Clay as their connecting link. Mr.. Riale
takes the ground that II the residents Of
Ill. Az. would not have II, 1t should not be
" forced upon him and his neighbors. He
has always shown himself to be a public
spirited gentlemen ana should be given
the benefit of the doubt.

1t is not our business to hold those up
to public regard, who, though generally &C.
counted public spirited men and women,
are now standing in the way of the cleo.
trio railway; but 1t is fair to say that the
public spirited man is the man who makes
some individual sacrifice himself, it neces
sary for the general welfare. He is not
like Artemus Ward, who was perfectly
willing to sacrifice all his wife's relations
On the altar of his country. If the electric
railway fails now, 1t will be because less
than half dozen men are perfectly willing
the road should run by some other mans
property but not along side their own. Mr.,
Evans is not begging right of way. He can
go TO one of several other places to-day
where the right of way has been secured
for him. Nine-tenths of the people of
Ottawa want that road which less than a
dozen men and the County Board now
stand In the way of and they should bear
in mind that If Mr.. Evans fails now, Otta,

ty; and that IT will be ten years before
another road is heard of for Ottawa.

CD. T., In the Ottawa Republican, after
a two-column spludge in reply to the FREE
TRADER of the previous week, without
squarely meeting single point we had
made, caps the climax Of economic stupid.
ity by trying to laugh at the idea that Eng
land, by annually importing $4OO,OOO,OVO
more than she exports is thereby the
gamer Cannot" he exclaims, 1.-THE subject
of trade balances be so implied by this
journal as TO convince England that her
true policy is to import more, export less,
and cease worrying about the American
markets for her manufactured goods and
wares"
Well, Move cannot undertake to con-
vince England of that, for statesmen are
not quite such hopeless idiots as 10 imagine,
as our high protective advocates do, that to
cripple her foreign trade by lessening her
imports and thereby necessarily her exports
the country can be a gamer. England
comes to this country and buys 500, 100000
worth of cotton, works it up in her mills,
adds $l00,000,000 to its value, exports il TO
South America, Japan, &c, and brings
home $l50,000, 600 worth of coffee, tea, &c,
being thus far Sl5O,0OO,OOO ahead. She
exchanges SlO0,OOOOOO worth of tea and
coffee for $l0O,OOO0OO more of American
cotton and repeats the operation, gaining
another $l50,0O0,OO0. And so, at the end
of each year, by her trade, she manages to
bring home, in net cash, or articles that add
to her substantial wealth, S400,0OO,0OOI
more than she exported. See it?
Another illustration: Hugh Gillen an.
nually exports 100000 in butter, eggs &c,
or cash, to New York and lays it out In
goods, which, On being imported to Ottawa
are worth $l25000, for which he sells
them. Is Hugh Gillen idiot enough to
imagine tina: he is driving ruinous trade
because his imports" excel his exports ?"
