,The High Price Of Gold.
Complaints come from the men-
etary centres of the United States
of the extreme tightness of the
money market. Trade is said to be
dull, money scarce and Poverty in-
cre,asing. The. price of gold is
somewhere in the neighboehood • of
118, with no present ptowect of a
:decrease, and financial 'natters gen-
erally are in an masatisfactory con-
dition. This is accounted for by the
great drain of gold from the country,
oceasioned by the maturing of na-
tional and railway -bonds held in,.
Europe, by excessive foreign im-
portations, and by the requirements
of the immense number of Ameri-
ca,ns who are travelling abroad, It
is estimated from the last 'cause

The Grievances Of the Western
Farmer.
The agitation which hes been
going OH for some time among the
farmers of the Western States, re-
garding the excessive rates imposed
by the railways on the transporta-
. tion of produce has not resulted, as
yet, in any material reduction Of
tariffs. On the contrary, a more
thorough investigation of the matter
-
has evolved the fact that if cheaper
transportation is to beattainedit must
be through the employment -of water
routes, and not by forcing railways to
lowerrates. It has been ascertained
that the actual eost of the trans-
portation of a bushel of corn 1,000
miles by rail is greater than its val-
.ne at the end of the journey. With
this fact before theta, the. West is
likely to (sive increased attention to
improved ° facilities of water
communication aa a meapEt of
. cheaply transporting their suiplus
products to the --seaboard. But,
even if the cheapest transportation
possible were attained, the producer
of the West would still find that he
received. uo adequate remuneration
for his labor. He mig.ht not find (it
economy to barn his cora for fuel, as
is often the case at present, but the
production of the West is too ilia-
mensre to be profitably absorbed, by
transportatiou to Etisteen consumers.
The only solution of the problem
seems to -be an immensely increased
manufacturing population in the
West. From this condition of af-
fairs the inference is easily drawn
that for many years the Western
States must be a poor country for an
agriculturist to go to, }Alt an excel-
lent field for the employment of cap-
ital in manufacturing.

cil opened at Goderich on Monday. last.

cupied the chair. The minutes of the

ed the proceedings with a short`and ap •
propriate address, in which he adverted
to the satisfactory manner in which that
long standing grievauce, the Municipal
Loan Fund debt, had been settled, aud
the favorable position in which this set-
tlement left_ the finances of the County,
and in very flattering terms compliment-
ed the Clerk and Treasurer for the able
and energetic manner in which they had
looked after the interests of the County
in this metter. He also referred to•the
prosperity of the County as evidenced. by
the fact-thrt at the last session of Coun-
cil legislation was had incorporating one
village, and at the present seasion two
other villages, viz., Winghain and .Luck -
now, were _ asking similar legislation.
The Warden further refeired to the busi-
ness likely to come before the Council- at

inent subjects being the settlement of the

pointed to take the census of stich por-

not from the allowance of Huron alone,
but from Huron and Bruce combined, as
the two counties were united at the time
the townships were separated, and it was
a portion. of the debt of the union that
was assumed by them. We will, there.
fore have the assistance and influence of
the County of Bruce in resisting any un-
just claims on the part ot these town-
ships. 'Unfortunately, the awards made
of the a -mounts payable to these town-

s uently it may be diflimilt to show

per cent, thereafter, but the Government
