bear that arrangements have been
Tilade to have the lIon.lirilfrid Laurier

tared swan, with a wide grasp of
political matters, a speaker of great
loquence,fervency and personal mag-
netism, i11r. Laurier has won golden
.Ipinionss since his accession to the

large gathering will greet him whom
some' one' has described as CANADA'S

The best of order prevailed and the
rapt attention of the audience was
accorded every speaker. In a matter
1 of such grave import, of such para-
mount importance and far•reaching
consequences, it is highly desirable,
nay, absolutely: essential that time and
opportunity be given to fully discuss
and deliberate upon propositions mad%

number of business men met together
to talk, interchange opinions and obtain
the couoensus of public opinion, if
possible.. Its abject is to consult, to
propose, to recommend, and there its
functions end. Weassume they are a
consultative body•of men personally
disinterested, but unitedly desirous to
further the tewn'o interests. .A. good
ANOTHER GOOD MEETING,
PROPOSITIONS FOR NEW INDp&TRIE0
WOMBED, BUT NO CONCLUSION
REAQEED.
In response to the general invita-
tion, the Ball was pretty well filled

There would be a substantial increase
in the town's population and taxpaying
power, and as a consequence every
rtsidont would be indirectly bonefitod.
Eio did not look upon this as a bonus,
but an investzlaont, . The town would
have as tocurity a first mortgage on

tion of so many new residents and the
circulation of so much money is the
town would be helpful and beneficial
to every resident. He believed it the
best offer thetown ever hail,
Mr. 3. A, Cline had another propo.
sition, made by the if incaid Brothers,
for the establishment of a chair fac-
tory. They would invest $5,000, if
the town gave them a loan of $$,G

previous meeting. Mr, W. Clegg, its
chairman of the committee appointed
to confer with Messrs. Hutton & Carr,
reporte3 that they did not intend re•
building this year, but using the upper
mill to the best advantage for custom
work. They proposed to sell the upper
site to. the, town at $10,400, they to
retain a portiop of the machinery.
The other members of the committee
were Messrs. Fisher and Gregory, but
the latter .was not present at the inter -
mostly skilled .aecliatsios. Mr. Cl

Otee gave a clear statement of the
result, as follows : 1. They will add to

make it of the dimensions of 150 feet

They will erect a brick boiler and
engine room separate from the factory
to give greater security from fire
They will put in a 70 horse,

In speeiting on this subject, the Dr.
stated that to quarry on a factor; y of this
capacity would require an expenditure
for wages of about $31,000, for .lumber
of $30,000 and the estimated products
for the year would be about $100,000.

way facilities and spirit of progression.
MORE PRACTICAL EDUC)ATION.,
The Workingman's School, which
has been establiiihed eight years in
New York, is an attempt to bring the
principles of the Kindergarten into
the higher branches of education. 11
endeavors to connect the mental
development of the child with the
physical and meatal development of
the man and the woman. It makes
manual training an essential part and
process of mind culture by means •of
a system of work instruction, bMe-
chanical drawing is made the basis of
instruction, and the drawing exercises
connect the work of the hand with
that of the brain. By this method
the sciences become instinct with life
and acquire au absorbing interest...
The tendency of education today is`.
manifestly in the, sante direction. The.
Minister of Education has of late been
devoting a great deal of attention to
this subject. We believe our systetn,'
whit�h is an excellent one in itself, can
be divested of a great deal of its
theoretical •complexion with profit.

lation. No money would be required
to be paid by the town for ten years,.
as a sum equivalent to the 'interest
would be paid back every year. The
Dr., in estimating the probable advan-
tages to tho town, assumed that 20
additional families at an average of
$400 each would spend $80,000; 20
skilled mechanics at $250 each 'would
represent $50,000 and 20 unskilled'
hands at $200 would be $40,000. There
would be $85,000 yearly for additional
material and labor; also, say, 15 new
houses to be erected. The taxes on
the new houses, rated at $360 each,:
would be $1,050 at present rate of,
'taxation. Wo have here an aggregate
of $85.27,050 ;to be spent among us
before we are called upon to pay any-
thing. At the end of ten years the town
could borrow $5,000 to pay this in-
debtedness, But by this time our
assessment°ought to be $600,000, and
if the $5,000 wore raised in one year
it would only come to $1 on :each
$126 assessment. If the interest and
sinking fund were paid for another ton
years it. would be about $700 a year—
$200 for interest and $500 for sinking
fund and $700 levied on $600,000
would be $1.16 on every $1,000
assessment ;• and assessed property.
would pay for $2,000, $2.82 ; for
$1,000, $1.16; for $500, 68 Bents; for
$300, 34 cents.

Mr, W. Green said they were no
asking for money, being satisfied wi
the trade they were doing. But if<th
town was willing to aid industries, h
believed they could give as good

for that of the town. When the
began here they Would make:no-ex

the same gkound. They offered about
$21,000 int security for $10,000. In
taxes they:would pay about half, as
school any obuntyrates were paid and
only municipal rate was exempt.
Mr. Lloyd was in favor of aiding
our. -own men •in preference to outside
manufacturers. He believed we ought
to take hold' of the furniture industry,
as we have a start.
Mr. Morton said the incidental
benefits were difficult to calculate, as
some derived advantages and some did
not. It was a false impression that
this firm bad come soliciting aid. It
was the town that was making the
proposals. If any encouragement was
offered it mus ba to glen who are in a
position to give a solid equivalent, He
would aid those herein preference to
outsiders. There would be less dead
stook in running one large establish-
ment than twee small ones; He took

by the latter went far towards barmen:
