There is one great party f at :s very fond ol fostering hon.e i. a u.-tvits. Let that party, or any other. gie us frte coinage and our iuduslrns wil foster themselves. Men who at present do notliit.g for a living but. iend money, would find that businefg less profitable than now, and would look for some industry in-dustry in which to invest their :.ion?y Factories of all kinds wou'd i-pring up like mushroom?! everv nill and valley would echo with oui.ds of the pick or whirr of wheeb; the country would grow and in a few shirt years even the most pronounced mono-metalists would say. -'What fools we have been to thus oppose this prosperity."

The -i ty fa hers liave decided to feiice the city lot, and at ihe last meeling appropriated ?300 for tha purpose. The fence w .11 be of gal vaaized steel wire, supported by wooden posti, and wooden railings, making we believe a neat, attractive and at the same time durable fence A fence around the city hall lot has long been needed and we are glad to state that the city council has recogniztd this fact and have prepared pre-pared to build one.
