This is fully answered by Mr, Eacrett in a letter which will be found in another column. 113 declares to be a, falsehood, Dot, supposing that Mr, hacretb did promise to call for their tender, we fancy that they, as clever business men, would have seen to it that, if he did not call ou them they would call on him. They could easily have prevented. the Clerk from pIayiug any trick on them by watching out for hitu, as they have no confidence in hitn, they say. Ile passed their of- fice a very few minutes after six o'clock when they could have given them the tender. Ile passed within '20 rods of the dwelling of the principal who is not the principal within a few minutes af- ter six. The second fiddle man who says Iasis principal passes within a few rods of the Olerk's house half -a -dozen times a day; and finally the Clerk pas- sed by the door of the office to our own knowledge not less than four times an Saturday, the day after they were to send in the tender. Aud yet,are the people prepared to believe it, this very sharp firm of business men never saw fit to speak to him about the teuder ! And they had their tender prepared to hand to him too1 How that confiding, innocent, trusting disposition of theirs was taken advantage of by that wicked °lark! How childlike they were when the Clerk was dein his wicked work. Bub after all, the Clerk informed us on Saturday afternoon that he would oall at the post office in the evening, and if there was no letter for hirn then it would be their last chance. We demur- red to this, thinking that if we had in ons tender in the proper time, they should have had theirs in too, because our tattler was really signed and filled out six days before it was handed in. The next poiut is. &a—That their tender was prepared r and ready to baud to the Clerk at the 'a Ltterrt. &L' On iepo$i:A. 4 1 1:roa.o7 Vat and. aol Stix tt bod;ht and 6041, Collf•etions novae in all part 3 of the DOntinim : 01 tetAres po.nutttlyrounttea at lowest rates o Extzer, gnst 15fh (tEittqs.

But their tender, las well as the letter which accompain- i ed it, was written on the Sabbath Day. tTbey are both dated 27th April, two days after they should have been given IMr. Eacrett. The fact that they pot - it on Monday morning, as they themselves State,is 2nima facie evidence that they vio;ated the sanctity of the Lord's Day iu prepaying a, tender for the village printing. Yee, while some Orme neolle were mayhap wending their way to the Dul's sanctuary or nniting their voices to swell the hymns of praise, other pious people were writing a tender fur printing.

Frontenaa ing as would have made the. ordinary printing dear at 60 cents, Finally, the -verdant young men who allowed the Clerk to thus cruelly be- guile them, both confessed that they had nothing to urge against the time allowed them. And will the readers notice their charming consistency; they say in their paper that they 'were pre- pared to hand the Clerk their tender had he called for it ; they tell the Reeve on Monday, after the C]erk ilea re- turned their tender 'Unopened, that they wouldn't give the Clerk the tender be- cause they had no confitterme in him— e well-timed compliment to,The upright- ness of the Reeve at all .eveots, how- ever much to heart the Clerk may take their lack of confideuee bit hirnself.' Bet the fact of the matter is this: They' know they we have always come under urer for payment in suite of the pro- tium, in tendering ; and having reason tests of Mr. Baker and the statement to believe our tender was in at the prop- er time,they hit upou the happy idea;of sending iu an outrageously low tender should nave had the work. This is which they knew the Council couldn't accept, hoping that honorable body would require us to accept the same figure. The ratepayers can judge who has noted honorably in the matter of printieg—the Council or the men who try to malign them, Pathinasters' Guides, worth, say $4 at the outside figure; but 1,200 Were printed,not because the printers wanted money, by any means, but they pro- bably thought it would be economical for the Council to gat enough to last thema good while. for 1,200' will last 14 years, there being 89 pathmasters in the township. By, keeping this printing out of the paper, they. no doubt hoped to keep us from knowiug anything about it. We have shown. that this was a scandalona violation of centre:et ou the part of the Reeve. But there is another thing. When the bill was put in for the $12, he cut it down to $10 and gave an order on the Tres - the way Mr. Hogarth values his posi- tion, and this is' the way he takes upon himself the responsibilitiesofthe town- ship. This shows that Mr. Hogarth cares nothing ebent economy, and that his talk in :that direction is a sham. The prices charged for the Guides are . nothing less than downright robbery _ of the township. They are outrage- ous. Any office would do the same work for $0 and cohsider themselves Last January thoClerk of the Town- 11 il. i Topa bat $12 WM cher ed ship of Stephen was Instructed to noti- fy certain priutiug offices that the township printing for 1879 would be let by tender. Two • offices tendered. Our teueer was the lowest end we were awarded the contract. But before the motion in Cenocil to that effect was passed, the Reeve and the other mem- bers of the Beard required to know if piinting not 4142400d in the tender would be done ate, proportional rate to the prices named in the tender. The promise was given and every member of the Board,iucludiug the Iteeve,unid that, We then should haro *41 the printing. This was fairly understood by all per - ties. About a month ago a by-law for the opening of a road in the township required to be publietied. The office which lied tendered bet had not melee ed the mite -net became aware of this, and, with the assistance of the Reeve, - attempted to get the work, al tliongh we had contracted for it, and were un - 'ler bonds to the amount of $100 to do it. Various devices were resorted to to take it from us and award it to the other °facie, but being aware of what 11.9 going on, we checkmated every move, rand te due time got the by-law. When speaking to Mr. Hogarth, the Reeve, at the time, he readily admitted that the jell belonged to us, and we thought then that no more attempts would be made to violate' the contract. But we were mistaken. Oa Saturday lest WO learned that a hill of tea dAtirs had been neid the other office alledod to foe printing twelve hundred Path - mestere' Onides. Thi' was a direct end ecanattleus violation of the con- tract, winch we were henna, as we have before observed, in $100 to exe- cute reecording to law. Title item of ten anthers was not. in the minutes of the 'Conecil as published in the Trines, though ell the other orders granted at the hot meetieg were mentioned, fled the chances ariethet neither we 1101' any ef the ratepayers of Stephen would have known nothi»g.ebout it had not ono of the Onuecillors, Mr. Baker, called to enquire bow it came that it was tot publiehed. We immediately proceed- ed to the residence of the Clerk of the municipelity and dentine ded an es plan ft,. tion, We tell the *tory now as he told it : It was the fault of Mr. Hogarth. When the bylaw. to wludh we have al- ready elinded, was about to be, publieh- ed, one of the proprietors of the ether office went to Mr., Prouty's residence • and told him. that Mr.. Hogarth wished' the by-law to be published in their pit - per, and also that he wished to See Mr. nit: rejectede the. CoenOil, would, know i1 tate and profit and, lose, noight. make :Prouty Immediately at that offics.. in the geode.releasea. A DISGRACEFUL J013. we prt t . , g and $10 paid by Mr, Hogarth. It is time the ratepayers of Stephen were made aware of the dirty little trainee - tient which some men under the as- sumed garb of honor, can perpetrate. We leave the people of the townAhip to form their own Intinion of what manner of man Mr. Septhems Hogarth ie. We would like to know, end we feel eertein the ratepayers of St Then wonlil like to know who gets the cesnal advantage in the way of cemmiseion when the ()tinting is dime at the other ° kNreee have wi 'Vett three other priut- . ing offices, euciosiug copy of Guides, asking what they -would charge for 1,200. We have received nee auswer from St. ittlarye. It says : "We wonld do 1,200 sheets such AS yen enclose for $5 ; 'would not like to take lees than $4.54)." We hese pieced a fair price at six dollers. The ratepayers of Stephen can then see what a bate - faced piece of jobbery has been perpe- trated upon them. For this the Reeve should be held to a strict acconnt. Unless the Ciovermeent of Mr. Mowat, which is supported by Mr. Bishop, be defeated on the 5th of dine, DIRECT TAXATION IS iNBTITAEL.B. Every foot of land in the Province will be teed for Provincial purposes. It will miously add to the burdens of the people, who think their taxes are al- ready high enough. There is no bald assertion in thio, as Reformers contend. It is susceptible of easy proof. The receipts in 1808 were $2,260,177 ; in 1878 rimy antouhted to $2.2.14,421—a sliget decrease. The ordinary exeen- clitnre in 1871 was $1,10:3,822; in 1878.e it Was. $1,900,004—au inereese of $79(3,118 in the ordinary expendi- ture of the Province in seven years, or an inerettee at the tate of 71 per ceut. Assuming that the receipts will remain the Male es in 1878 during the next five years, they will, in that time, in all, amount to $12.272,105. The ex- pendieure, increasing, as it hasdone, at $100,000 per year, will, in. the Rune time, total $14,852.705, leaving a de- ficieney of $2,1320,460, whieh can bo provided for in no other w iy thau by a DIRECT TAN.
