MONEY MATTERS.
What, with Sir Francis Hincks' Banking
Resolutions—involving the partial substi
tntion of a goverment issue, of various de-
nominatioes, ft-om twen tar -five cents upwards,
for the present independent issue of the
Banks, coupled with the official notic0 that
-on and after the 15th day cf April next,
American . silver will be a legal tender in
the Dominion, at 20 percent discount, the
public mind is very muath agitated on the
money question.
The Banking Resolutions- have afforded
material for much adverse', - and we may
truthfully say, factious criticism, to those
who are ever on the alert for slid' a com-
rnodity. To be candid, however, we must,
say, that thus far, we have watched invain,
for anything like, what we consider, legiti-
mate argument against- the priadiples in-
-volved in those, Resolutions. True, we
are told the Gevernment have adopted this
means, merely as an expedient for replen-
ishing their exhausted Offers ; and we read
of resolutions adopted by- divers meeting,,
tenclemnatory of the scheme, citing the
case of the United States as unanswerable
argument against every kind of Govelli-
merit issue. Now, we maintain that it is not
essential, in arriving at, a. conclusion upon
the worth of this measure, to determine, or
- even enquire itito the "Motives; which-
- prompt ed its provisions ; and before we in
stance the effect of one cause, as an illus-
tration of that of another, it is for us to •es-
tablish that the individual causes are
exactly similar, but as applied to the
recent government issue in the United"
States, and the concern' plated one in.Canadaf
they are not. The depreciated currency,
which now obtains in that country, was
- issued to an extent, only limited by the
requirements of the times, and the nattiral
consequence of an unlimited supply was, a
corresponding depreciation. How vastly
different 18 the scheme of our Government !
It is expressly provided, that DO Bank shall
be coerced into investing- More than. one
third of its ieserve specie in this currency,
and though the Government may, by this
.meane, obtain the ase of a large .turiount of
gold, which, otherWise, it would .11015 we
fanca- that this, itself, can not increase the
opportunities for recklessness ancl extrava-
gance, to any alarming extent, in view of
the fact, that those -who will then have ac- P
. I sw
ces to the country's treasures, could other -
Wise command its full creditAs we i
understand the amended Resolutions, five it
-million dollarsis the extent of the issue, 'er
without any redemption reserve • for any gr
excess of this amount, up to seven Or eight It
millions, twenty-five per cent reserve is pro- in
vided for, and beyond this again, dollar in
for dollar. - The worst possible then, that pr
can be anticipated, is a draft upon our CO
credit of from six to seven millions, a.nd fjth

A BAD MEASURE.
As the fountain is, so will the stream be
'It would, indeed, be the height of folly to
suppose that pure, clear water, could flow
from a muddy and impure fountain. It
would be equally absurd to suppose that
anything like good, progressive, and whole-
some legislation could result from the deli-
berations of a Government of whic
John A. Macdonald; and Sir George
tier;. were the leading, spirits. If an
is required to prove the truth of this
ment, we need nut refer to the Bill
has been introduced into the House
former of these gentlemen, to provide
election of members for the House of
mons ./k_ more disgracefully absurd
• dangerous measure, than this proposed
• tion Bill, has seldom or ever emanated
any man making the slightest pretensi
Statesmanship. Of all its numerous p
ions, there4re but three which are un
-tionable, and which will not tend to pr
the most mischievous results. These
provisione are: lst,—Allo wing an -In
Franchise to persons receiving a state
nual incomeof. $400; 2nd, --Limiting
time for holding the election in any c
tuency to one day,_3rd,—Publishing
natnes of all the qualified electors in
constituency. These provisions are, ea
them,- good enough, and perfectly faul
co far as they go, but the trouble is,
don't go -nearly far enough. Ake fo
stance that of the income Frariphis.o.
limit it to an annual income of $400 ?
man is employed by the month„, -or by
quarter," and receives a monthly salar
$40, or A quarterly ealary of $100, is it
reasonable to suppose that he is as cap
of exercising the franchise intelligentl
the man who receives an annual salar
$400. Under this provision, a Man,
matter how ignorant, or Unfit he may b
exercise the franchise, has the privileg
voting, if he has but a -fixed salarS, of $
per annum, whereas the man who der
from his business, profession, or any o
means, an. income ot. $1,000, or ten ti
that amount, unlese le can certify to its
iiig, aftxeci 'salary or income, is , debar
from the privilege of voting. Thus, by
John's mode of reasoning, it is not
amount of a man's income, nor the inte
or influence which his employMent gi
him intim country, nor is it hi
qualification for the proper -exm
right of the suffrage which entit
-ote, but the fact that he is fortunate
to have I t fixed salary for one year.
The provision limiting, the time for hold-
ing an election in any.constituency to one
day, is, as we have already said, good so far
as it goes, but it should go. further. It
should provide that the elections in each
and every constituency throughout the -Do-
minion, should be held on one and the same
day. If such a Provision were to become
law, it would prevent an immense arnoutit
of the bribery and corruption of which we
havesof late years been conipelled to eom-
plain. •But a law having such an effect is
reasely the thing which our present ruleis
ish to avoid.- If the elections were held
multaneously throughout the Dominion,
would prevent defeated members of Gov-
nment and Government candidates pere-
inating from one constituency to another.
would also prevent the Government from
dulging in the habit which our two schem-
g Canadian Knights are ever 'prone to
actice, • of bringing on the elections in film
nstituencies where they consider they -have
e most influence and are surest of success,

While we acknaivledge a display, of a
measure, of both ingenuity and ability in vo
framing the Banking Resolutions, we con- ele
fes to perceiving neither, in the plan
adopted for overcoming the "silver nui-
sance." We consider the fixing of the
legal value of American half -dollars at
forty cents, quarter -dollars at twenty cent,
etc, ridiculous in the extreme. So long as
the Americans are willing to purchase their
silver coin eta discount of from four to six
pet cent; creditors and others will have
:very little. pressed on them at a discount of
twenty per cent. The Government have
given a trite .acknowledgment of; their own
folly in. this matter, by authorizing' the va-'
‘rious Bitetits to take a. million dollars, on
t etr account, at a discount of five per cent, °f t
and a _second million at five and one half dre
per cent. The effect of this movement will,- MOS
mostunquestionally be, the entite banish- eun
t
went of American Silver ; but, until _this
be ace= pl is lied,- for all purposes of trade, it
will, j. robably, be current at the usual
rates—where it has been passed at par, Con.
t'nue so to be It is a popular error, that
on and after the 15th of April, next, it will
ba a. penal matte • to tender, or aecept
American silver ata greater rate thau. its. of ti
legal tender value 111 reality-, the 'only -
of
difference between then and now is: earn
American silver is not a legal tender at any r'un
rate, whatever, but then, as before shown, it eur"
t-
diture when no god to the country will ac-
crue from it? The only solution to this
problem which we ean conceive of is, that
by the appointment of these Revising Bar-
risters, a considerable athount of additional
patronage will be placed in the hands of the
Government, which will probably enable
them to buy up some leose fish, who, were
their mouths not cicsed with pap, would
prove troubh3some in time of an election.
The last, and probably the worst, feature
of this Bill, to which we shall at present re-
fer, is the ;tower which it gives to all Gov-
ernment Officials, save Judges, who are oth-
erwise qualified, to vote. This is a most
dangerous provision, and gives to the Gov-
ernment gieatly increased power. If a
Government Official votes at all, it can
scarcely be supposed that he will vote
against his masters. at the risk of losing his
bread and butter ; and many who, from
principle, may be opposed to the "powers
that be," will undoubtedly be compelled to
violate their conscientious convictions, or
forfeit their positions.
• The whole Bill, throughout, seems to have
been framed with a studied determinafion
to inci-ease the influence and poster of the
Government, and we feei assored that it
will be a sad blow to the future prosperity
of this Dominion, as well as a nototious in-
justice to a free people, should it become
law. "•
That it will not become law, we have but
little reason to hope. Sir John isnot a man
to be easily baulked when he has a pet
scheme to carry through, and the ritajority
of the metnbers of the liouse are sufficiently
subservient to go it blind,: for any scheme
he may bring forward, no matter how ini-
quitous. A day of reckoning, however, is
surely corning.
• TFIE GRAND TRUNK.
- ON the third page, of this issue, will be
found an at -headed "The Position and
Progress of the Grand Trunk;" which we
commeod to the attention of our readers.
It will there be seen, that the position of
that much abused road is most proinising.
An immense amount of new on has been
laid down within the past year, and a con-
siderable portion of the road is to be re-
laid with steel rails during. the coming sum-
mer. A large amount of new rolling stock is
aiso under contract, and will be ready for
use during the present season. The an
earnings of the road are continually ine
iug, the amount earned during last year be-
ing nearly two millions of dollars in excess
Of that earned in 1864; and this year, so
far, the earnings are considerably larger
than for a corresponding period ot last year.
The great 'bulk of the iron and rol
stock used on this road is manufacture
Canada. •
The prosperity of this great nati
• thoroughfare must be most gratifying to
every well-wisher of the country, as we be-
lieve there can be no weter indication of the
proaperity of Ontario, than the excellent
position which this road now occupies. We
have no sympathy whatever with those
journalists who are ever On the alert to
pick up eveiy triflmg incident, and mag-
nifyit into something monstrous, in order
that they may have a -chance to strike a
blow at the Grand Trunk and its Manager.
Instead, we believe it to be the duty of
every man who has the prosperity of, his
country at heart, to do all in his power.
to help on and assist a work Which has been
the means of doing so much good to the
country; and which isio be yet, in mole ways
than One, of incalculable benefit to it. How
many thoueands of men are attracted to
the country and receive empleyment, either
on, or in tbe works connected with the
road? each one of whom is worth consider-
able to the Dominion, to say notking of tbe
benefits which - have bete. effected, in the
e way .of opening up the countty, and giving
us ready markets. What kind of a po-
sition would we, in this section of Canada,
occupy to day, had it not been for this
road? Where -we- now see fine cleared
fields, would vet be a wilderness, fInd un-
settled, had the country not been opened up
by the Grand Trunk. If it were possible
to take ft oin us for a while, or to cloee it
Up, so that We might receive no benefit
from it, much as it has cost us; in days
gene lea, we believe there is not a .rate-
payer from Sarnia to Quebec, who would
not be willing that, as much more should
be given to have -its trairia Once more pu t
in motion. Much of its increased - pros-
perity and usefulness, is no doubt, due to
the untiriug zeal end energy displayed by
Mr. Brydges. and his asaistants.

PROPHECIES OF HER ENGINEERS. --It is said

ed some friends in Pattersou, aN. J. That
they then said that the. City of Boston,
when on lier last trip this way, broke one of

would be perfectly repaired' by the gubsti-
tution of' a new three -bladed fan like the
one she had broken. In consequence Of

engineers remarked 1-0 their friends that
they- expected to have hard -duty in the
fire brigade this trip, as the machinery
would hat e to run one-third faster ; and
also that there would be some danger of fire
and explosion in consequence. It is said
that this assertion was positively made, and
the friends of the engineers, now think that
their a.pprehensions have ptoved prophetic-,
and thaL the steamer has been destroyed by
fire or explosion, or that the supply of coal
had pioved insufficient, and the ill-fated
steamer had fallen an easy victim to the
storm.

The Free Trade _Meeting in Toronto
From the Toronto Leader, of the 26a.
The meeting last night, which though so
far as the numerical majority.was concern-
• ed, resulted in a verdict for • medified pro-
tection, was in point of reasoning, a noble
indication of free trade principles. Each
side was well and influentially represented
onthe platform and had its adherents ire
the hall Mr. Worts opened the proceed-
ings with a speech of considerable length,
but of a remarkable clear and e0/1VinC-
ing character. He went straight to the
subject, and demonstrated by actual facts.
and figures that the natural trade of Ca-
nada had been developed by free trade
principles—that she was sending her bar-
ley to the States, her wheat to England, her -
lumber to South America—that her ship-
owners .wete amo_ngat the largest in the
wodd—her population highly prosperous
and contented—that the tax on the necessar-
ies of life, such as coal and bread, would
militate both against the miners and fisheie
men of Nova Scotia and the a.grteulsurists
of Ontario. He was followed by Mr. Robt.
Wilkies., who, in a speech, characterized by
great lucidity, pointed out the fallacies un-
derlying the theories of protection. • Mr_
John Crordon and Mr. Alderman Dickey
spoke with remarkable vigor and ability
on the other side, tioth gentlemen -making
a. special point of the fact that the manu-
facture cf. whiskey was protected by heavy
import duties; and the worthy Alderman
in a very graphic manner m eking a special:
joke of the circumstance that 31r. Wilkies-
is the sole agent for the Aminican. watch
companies. The 'netting was tickled with
these petsonal allusions, but must have seen
through 0)6 sophistry, for of all things im
the world which it Government testy with
P1 opriety tax, the article of spirits may be
mentioned as about the first ;and if Mr
,Wilkies has sufficient influence with the
clock companies to constitute himself their
sole agent, he does not preyent other
companies appointing sole agents to com-
pete with him.
Three special objects appear to be actu--
ating the - policy of the Great Western just
now: These are, she assimilation of the
gauge to that of the American lines; the
adcption of steel rails, 70 miles of which -
aro to be leid doW n at once, and the c on-
struction ef a tunuel under the Dettoit
River, by which meane the difficulty - at -
tending the passage of the river will be
saved, and practically—that i.4 judging 1.;y-
time—the road • shortened about 45 miles
between the main pointe, Chieago and New
York. -----London, Free Press.
Mr. Foster's English Education. Bill is
objected to by the non -conformists because
it gives local boards the power to detete
mine the religious character of the school
to be supported by the rates, thus practically
establishing a new form of church rates.
and adopting the religious principles. In
fact it is the religious feature that gives all
the tronble to be found in the establish-
ment of a national system of fee schools in
England, and religious prejudices are the
moet difficult of all to remove, especially
when kept alive, and fostered by thous-
ands of hot-headed zealots of the Sectarian
order.
