True. But how long will the bolder of the silver dollar be able to these things? The gold aupply of the United States is suffering rapid depletiou,. Silver cannot be ex- ported, but gold goes eut by every steamer. An(1 eyidences accuinulate • that, within the United States, the pro teess of hoarding gold has begun. Evidences of another kind also begin to appear, People are required to take ut cents' worth of metal and to call it a dollar. In return, they haye begun to give 64e tents' worth of goods and ea call it a dollar's worth. Nothing is clearer than that prices will adapt themselyes to the actual values of the eurrency. In former ages kings be- lieved they could make money cheap and plentiful by reducing the weight or debasing the quality of the coin. A pound svould be a. poundehey thought, whether it weighed a pound or a quar- ter of a pound. People were compelled te accept a quarter of the silver they. bad formerly received; but they found •kheir remedy in giving only a quarter. as much value.for it. R will be found that a repablic cannot do what kings were unable to do, It cannot compel gteople to give a hundred ceuts' worth af bread, or shoes, or coal, or clothing for 64- cents' worth of silver.

We have had seversa such reyelatiohs in Canada, particularly in Quebec dur- ing the Mercier aaininistretion; but nothIng cempared to the enormous jobbery and corruption so coalmen in the neighboriug Republie. The moral tone a the community is being lower- ed to an appaling degree by such rev- elations; and it behoves the leaders of Government to look well to it that their subordinates are acting in good faith. So far as the present adminis tratiou of Sir John C. Abbott is con- cerned, we have reason toZbelieve that they have set their face sterely against any repetition, of the irregulartties carried on a year or two ago by cert gin official eabordinates; and that the stringent act passed by Parliament toucaieg the Civil Service manage. meat will effect the needed cure. It must, however, be matter for satisfact- ion to our people to know that the fi nances of Canada are at present in a healthy condition; and, if we may judge from the past, the approathing mission of Premier Abbott and his lei mince Miuister to England, to replace the Canadian loan so soon to expire, will be auccessful in the highest de gree. INDUSTRIAL .Y.E.ACE. Erastus Wiman recently addressed. a meeting. of workingmen • and told them that the state of Society in the United States was one a industrial war, and that signs were not wanting of an immense 'upheaval consequent upon the dissatisfenlion f the laboring classes Rev-. Principal Grant took up the wages question before the Pan - Presbyterian Council, and after eulog- ising co operation and profit-sharing: concluded that the solution of existing difficulties would. be faciliated whee both employers and employees actedin the spirit of true Christianity, and sres. spaded each other's rights.yaneiloy- ers, espeaiele -lhoss uss ,were, too Pea considering What not what in aqui- were entitled to. In Amber number of the Content's. -Cleary Riview, Mr. John Rae thus de. scribes the working of boards of arbi- tration in the north of England: "Iron smelting is a trade in which disputer; and strikes used to be very prevalent, because it is peculiarly subject to great fitmetuatious, in consequence of irregularities of demand and frequent technicat elsanges; and indeed, during the very period of this experiment of conciliation, it was undergoing one of the most trying changes—the change from iron to steel, in consequence of ins Bessemer process, which has re- duced the number of puddlers by two- thirds during the last sixteen ,years. But since the establishmeet of these Boards, in the north of England ,in 1869, and in the Midlands in 1872,there has been nothing whatever in the shape of a strike in the former district and only one in the latter, and eyen that one was too insignificent to de- serve the name. Certainly; as Prinei pal Grant says, these are the pressing problems of the time, and more import- ant than matters of ritual and forms of creed is thoquestion, how shall the in,. terests of employer and employed be reconciled' and industrial peace secur. ed? they Canadians need care for is sea that none of the depreciated sil- wer dollars remain in their hands. iMEZIA0.5.9.1 THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK. Notwithstanding the repeated assert funs of pessimistic grumblers to the contrary, Canada's financial outlook fe again eeeorted to be perfectly satis iasete ne official returus from the Department of Finance at Ottawa, just fee hand, reveal a veil cheering condi tion of things,—showing that our country is on the fair road to national prosperity,and that the business affairs a the Dominion are conducted on a around financial basis As we stated net very long ago, despite the very heavy remission of duties last year ey the Governmeat—by which on the ene ankle of sugar alone the people of Canada were relieved of $3,500,000 in the shape of taxes—at the close of the asst financial year there was still a aurplus of revenue over 'expenditure to the extent of half a million dollars. Unexplained, this sum in itself might asseeeer small; although it was a decid edly better ehowing than the deficits which were the order of the day under tete Grit regime, when Sir Richard Cartwright was Finance Minister. But when we teem iuto account the large renaissiore of duty on sugar,—which 'has yirtuady giveu to our people a face breakfast, now that their tea, cof- flee-and sugar are admitted free of deity under the Government's wise rolicy—the surplus of last fiecal year was eminently satisfactory, And now what is the position of affairs? Ae- sending to the latest bulletins, we have at present a serpl es for the first quart - or of the financial year of 83,560,539. Cemparing the returns of the corree yesnaillsgstarec months of 1891 with ehose of 1892, we find there has been during the last quarter of a year an moreasc of surplus to the extent of $578,891, Such are the figures; and • tea as everybody knows, speals loud see than words Now, it is customary neetortain Grit politicians, and tlisir • preemitatives of the press, to give a ettega eoloring to everything; American to institute ate invidious aon- exast between ue and the United &sates, But what will be said when recent telegrant We learn that ereWee dsacit yoar in the Around About Us.

The wedding of Dr. J. R. Shannon, one of Goderich's popular townsmen, to Miss Aggie, youngest daughter of Hon. A. M. Ross, created unusual inter- est on Wednesday last week. They were married at St, George's church by the rector, Rev. Mr. Yeung. The church was crowded and many had te turn away. The bride was handsomd- ly dressed in white silk, tulle veil and orange blossoms. The bridesmaidethe Misses Cameren, Hamilton and MeDeu gal, wore cream crepen dresses and leg,horn hats. Miss Gretchen Myers, neice of the bride, the maid of honor, was dressed in white. Dr. Ross, broth. er of the bride, acted as dereemsman. The full choir attended' and sang "The Yeiceetlieer BTeithed O'er Eden," and otliel music. Among the many and valuable presents was a deed from the. bride's parents of the family residence hereand an oak cased upright piano from the groom's father, Dr. G. C. Shannon. The happy couple left for the east by the 2 o'clock teain in a shower of rice and good wishes. The barge Ryan, whieh was in tow of the steam barge Nashua, arrived in Port Huron on Wednesday last week and reported that'"the latter foundered off Goderiely on the clay mentioned. She let go the s tow line about ten miles north of Gocleride after having lost her deck load. of lum- ber and haying disabled machinery. Later on she was flying, a signal of distress. The Gartwick searched for her for four hours, but could find noth- ing of her or the crew. The Nashua was commanded by Capt.
