WEDNESDAY
(Routine 'business 'oeoupied the
County Council od (Huron at the sec-
ond day •o'f the January session 'held
in IGoderl1cJh last 'week. 'Adjournment
'was made early in the afternoon to
hear an address by .W.IL. Young,
the defeated 'candidate foe the reeve -
ship of Colborne 'T'own'ship, on the
"Inflation of the (Currency," when the
council chamber was (filled with an
interested audienoe,-(After 'his address
Mr. Young answered many questions
bearing on his subject.
I•n .speaking of the .parity of the
Canadian 'dollar with the pound sterl-
ing, •Mr. ('bung twas of the opinion
that the sooner the 'Canadian gov-
ernment tabandoned the .gold standard
the better it would be +for all. 'When
exports are sent to 'Britain. payment
is made in (Britishmoney and 30
cents on the 'dollar is lost. 'Nearly
every nation in the Great War except
the 'United ;States has gone off the
gold standard, and the latter will.
have to before she :can do much in
world trade, 'Australia, New Zealand,
and (South Africa have found it to the
advantage of+ their exporters to do so.
"Britain is the greatest financier in
the world," said Mr. Young, `and she
is coming back 'to her own. The Unit-
ed States is going rich in spots, but
farmers, industries and manufacturers.
\tre going Ibankru •t "
p
(It had :been suggested that British
currency be governed in London,
'England. In the opinion of the
speaker, it was right, as she would
gain in influence and would prove a
great advantage and:Ib.elndfit to her
dominions would be derived because
they would' be on the same basis, re-
sulting in increased production, 'feed
the railways and go a long way to
bring about prosperity. When Britain
went off the gold standard she in-
creased her indebtedness to the Unit-
ed States, but the result in the de-
duction of unemployment would off-
set the loss through exchange.
(During the open forum following
.' the address, Mr. Young 'reiterated his
•
statement to follow the lead Of Brit-
ain. He suggested 'tha't if the council-
ors were agreed on his .views the
they appoint a committee to wait :on
C. A. tRobentson, MLA.; and (George
Spotton, M.P., and ask them to take
this up in parliament. 'The warden

was referred to the Education .Qom-
'ntittee to report at this session•.
Dr. !Field, inspector of Public
(Schools for ,East Huron and S. C.
Beacom, for West (Huron, gave very
complete reports on their inspector-
ates.
The number of teachers in West

(The salaries paid in the rural
schools' have been, as a general rule,
Considerably reduced during the year.
There ore a. number of cases where
the teachers are la receipt of a sal-
ary of $600 per year and one instance
where $540 is paid. The average for

Ilan McLeod, Agricultural Repre-

remarks (being mainly announcementse
