we have not heard from Chicago yet\u201d Compare this with Beerbohm\u2019s telegrant of yesterday: \u2018 New York advices cause depression.\u201d That is the story.New York then causes depression in Liverpool, and that fact cabled over here is accepted as a valid reason for further weakness in Chicago.We do not, say it is not a poor reason ; for it is evidently a sufficient one, It would seem, however, as if the same result might be obtained less expensively by sending the news through a shorter circuit.A line of wire laid around the block on which stands our Chamber of Commerce would perhapsanswer the purpose ; and if se, O how uch less it would cost.\u201d er er When we say that the Money market is easy we scarcely conceive an exact idea of its condition.The supply of loanable funds is so abundant that torrowers with unimpeachable credit have things pretty much their own way.It is when money is p eaty that lenders have to face the strongest competition.Rates of interest are regulated by the same principles of supply and demand that apply to all branches of trade and commerce.The ensuing winter months promise no material change in the course of the local Money market, and we shall probably have to repeat our quotations at 6 /@ 7 per cent.for good commercial bills, as to name and date, and 3 @ 5 per cent.a.nature of the collaterals, for some time to come.In fact, exceptional transactions are reported at even lower rates than the foregoing quotations.At this time last year we were quoting 7 @ 8 per cent.for commercial bills, 5 @ 6 per cent.for call and 6 @ 7 per cent.for time loans.The market for Sterling Exchange coutinues dull and inactive with the rates nominally unchanged at 8} premium between banks and 8§ cash over the for call, short-dated and time loans, as to the: D market.The tendency of Bank of Montreal in the last two months has been ber 18 to date being about 14 per cent.From October 18 to November 18 all the leading bank and miscellaneous shares ad- day show a decline for the majority of the on the date named :\u2014 Oct.18 Nov.18.Dec.18.Montreal.152} @ 153} oF @ 159 * 1674 @ 168 § Ontario.88 @ 85} 9/@ 9Bi* 98 @ 98} Peoples.79 @ 813 93 @ 94} 92 @ 95 Molsons.99 @ 99} 107 @ 107 Lao @ 106 Toronto .188 @ 135 1374 @ 139 140} @ 145 Jac.Cartier 9 @ 83 .30 @ 8B Merchants.107] @ 108} 115} @ 1153* 116} @ 117 Towns\u2019ps .@ 110, 1 .@110 * Commerce.128} @ 12941374 @ 138} 1871 @ 1874* Exchange.54 +68 @ 70 63 @ 65 Mont\u2019l.Sei1304 @ 131 133} @ 1334 138} @ 133% City Pass.114 @ 116.118 @121 117 @ 118 City Gas.143} @ 144 1541 @ 155 149} @ 150 CanCotCo.@ 9 130 @140 122 @ 127 \"*Ex.dividend.The Stock market to-day, notwithstanding the usual Saturday dullness, was firmer and fairly active.Montreal sold up 1 per cent.to 168, and closed at that figure asked, 167} freely bid.Ontario were strong, and sold up from 97% to 981, closing sieady at 98 @ 98}.Merchants advanced from 1164 @ 117, and closed at those figures representing the views of buyers and sellers respectively.Commerce strengthened to 137}, ex-dividend, Montreal ~~ Telegraph opened at 134 and declined § per cent to 1334, closing at 133} @ 1334.Richelieu, in small amount, commanded 62}, and City Passenger were placed at 117.City Gas were decidedly stronger, and changed hands at 149% @ 150.Dundas Cotton Cowere quoted firm at 137} @ 140, and Canada Cotton steady at 122 @ 127.Graphic Bonds were placed at 84},and Corporation of Montreal 5 per cent.stock at 106.The transactions were : MORNING BOARD, Montreal, 35 @ 167,10 @ 1673, 160 @ 168 ;

COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, MONDAY, DECEMBE R 20, 1388 \u2014+ OUR VIEW OF TRE SYNDICATE.The ¢ Syndicate\u201d turns out to have deen a (cabalistic word.It was full fof occult meaning.On the face of it the contract seemed a harmless snd almost bene\u201d volent accumulation of benefits.It found patronage, the dangerous character of which has been partially disclosed by the Government Commission, of which Sir John\u2019s friend, Mr.Clarke, is the Chairman, and it placed all this in the hands of re spectable business men, whose character we know, and who might be supposed to discard party preferences and conduct the vast patronage within its administration on trifling advantage in the eyes of those who dreaded the wholesale demoralization which the administration of the Pacific Railway made possiblesin the hands of party Government.The country was likely to respond with enthusiasm to any proposition which would take from the hands ef the Government the construction and operation of the\u2018Pacific Railroad.Thus there would be ah end to a number of things which have disturbed and frightened us\u2014 contract-brokerage, that unseemly monster, would thus be measurably chained.The uoble army of contractors with their lowest tenders,\u201d and their lower morale would be thinned down to less alarming multitudes.They might still be powerful, but they would not hover in swarms in the Ottawa Departments.To such an extent would the carcass be thus removed from the Government morgue that the eagles would not all be gathered together there.We believe that Governments should divest themselves of railroads, and every other patronage as well, so far as possible.It would have been better if the Intercolonial had been built by a private Syndicate, especially had it been composed of men who were, a8 we admit the present men are, unexceptionable.But even for such a benefit we might have to pay too high a price.For example, if such a Syndicate had stipulated to constitute themselves a privileged class\u2014if for example they had demanded exemption from taxation, while other people were compelled duties while other people had to cons tribute to the expenses of the Federal Government ; or, again, if the Intercolonia] Syndicate had stipulated for such a bargain as would have made them chief proprietors of the lands and railways of the Lower Provinces, dominant over everybody, without contributing like other people \u2018 to the public burdens,\u2014 private enterprise might have been desirable, but we might have got it at too high a cost.It might have swept away the substance, and entailed the serfdom of the people.It might have created a privileged class, which is contrary to the genius of our people and institutions.No matter ; this is speculation.We had no Syndicate, and we have no serflom down by the sea.We are safe.But we are face to face with another danger ; our country stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific: What we escaped in the East iscoming upon us in the West: monopoly, land- lordism, absenteeism, and, if we are not awake in time, serfdom for the millions we are inviting from the old worid to the fertile plains of that young country, whose future we are asked to handicap by improvident administration.We have been careful to study, and slow to speak ; we had sympathy with the new Syndicate ; we had confidence in the men who compose it, and in some important features we hoped the public interest would be served by them.We had, of course, no confidence in the Government, and were prepared to see them careless of the interests of the country this \u2018year, as they were in 1872.But having regard to the great public interests involved we determined early to deal with this question on its merits, We would have supported it if we could, re gardless alike of person or of party.But we must say frankly that a more complete giving away of the great and fertile North-West than the details of this Syndicate contract disclose it would require an ingenious lawyer to devise.Their lands are exempted from taxation.The settler must bear all the burden.The rich Syndicate helps nothing to build any of the things necessary to make the settlements prosperous, or the Railroad profitable.The Syndicate has no special power to impose rates of taxation on the people, but there is nothing to prevent them doing the same thing practically by exorbitant tolls on the goods transported.There is a sham provision about regulating tolls, which looks as if it had been drawn for the special purpose of remaining inoperative.Then the proposed Company is given a monopoly of the railways of the future which may be necessay to develop the North-West.The Company is to be protected by the exemption clauses from the obligations to sell these lands till the settler has made them valuable by his toil and sacrifice, There is no adequate security taken for the fulfilment of the Company\u2019s obligations, People have had faith because the members of the Syndicate are rich, but they are to be protected from personal liability by the interposition of a convenient limited liability Company, and all the parade we have had about the guarantees the Govenment has taken are a delusion and a snare.We have already pointed out what cannot be too often repeated, that the construction of the Eastern Section of this proposed road is, at the present time, wholly unnecessary.The vicissitudes of trade, American rivalry or other considerations, may ultimately compel us to adop an-all-Canadian route.But it wil] be time cnough to provide against an evil when it knocks at our doors.The present scheme, the Sault route, being abandoned, will deprive our seaports of the American North-West trade for a generation.The Sault connection, which we have discussed so often, and shall do so often again, is the only means of getting early access to the American North-Western trade of Northern Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the territories westward.We had a right to expect that these gentlemen who now constitute this Syndicate, and whose interests centre at St.Paul, would be powerful aids in securing the Sault connection.The action of the Government makes them enemies instead of friends of the Sault route, and may indefinitely postpone the construction of that road, which is, we venture to say , more important to the Eastern Dominion, and especially to Montreal and Quebec, than all the other railways under public consideration put together.We shall await with anxiety the decision of the Governmentas to an adjournment over the holidays, which would give the people more time to consider a question of so overwhelming importance.At the beginning of the Session the First Minister, in effect, denied the right of the electors to be consulted, but it is now whispered \u2018that, if the Syndicate will consent, wiser counsels will prevail.Nobody denies that, as a consequence of the improvident bargain made by Sir John A.Macdonald with British Columbia, the railway has to be built, though there is no commercial reason for hurrying it West of the arable lande.The resolution [of vur Parliament, several : titnes since incorporated into the law, that\u2019 the road should not be pushed fast enough to mcrease the taxation of the country, is still a sacred safeguard, aud it is nonsense ! the roads, to support the schools, or do'| y us build the road through the prairie meantime expected to come.In consider us have regard, at the same time, for our obligations and our interest.And as to the that some existing evil demands redress, and that the construction of this vast and lonely highway will afford it.Meantime, let us address ourselves to practical communication with the North-West, without entering into the details.It seems evident that the means of easy access are available, and the public voice should le \u2018heard everywhere, demanding a sensible stated, is between communication by the Sault in two or three years, or through the wilderness of the North shore in twenty years.Both routes may ultimately be built, but, after {twenty years, the country will not have suffered, because the Sault route has been in operation, even if by that time the inhospitable Northern shores of the Lakes should ring to the whistle of & lonesome locomotive.AMERICAN BOARD OF TRADE.The Executive Council has made a report to the National Board of Trade now in session at Washington.In many re spects it is an interesting and important document.It is a concise summary ot American commercial and industrial progress.The report favours the adoption of a bankrupt law, the maintenance of a sound currency and the regulation of inter \u2018State commerce by means of railroads by Federal legislation.It is worthy of note, as showing the growing tendency of public opinion among our neighbours on the fiscal policy of the country, that the report strongly recommends the Eaton Bill for a Commission to consider a revision of the Tariff.Considerable space is taken up with the discussion of the navigation laws, under the operation of which the United States mercantile navy is dwindling towards nothing, and the opinion of the Executive Council throws cold water on the proposal to pay towards the expenses of | yy rebuild and rejuvenate American ship- local administration; or if they had ping by Government subsidy, instead of been, as a class, exempted from revising the legislation which handicaps American shipbuilding and, at the same time, makes it practically impossible for United States citizens to buy foreign-built vessels.The report also discusses the trade relations with Canada.The failing off in our imports from that source is attributed to the Tilley Tariff, but the Boston Advertiser points out that American exportations to Canada for the fiscal year 1879- 80, during all of which year the new tariff was in force, were almost identical in value with those of 1878-79, during three-fourths of which it was not in force.We have not the exact figures at hand, but the Canadian importation of American goods has not shown the falling off, in consequence of the Protective Tariff, which was ostensibly, intended to be retaliatory, that was anticipated by its authors.The report argues in favour of a reciprocity treaty, which the Executive Council of the National Board of Trade believes Mr.Gladstone\u2019s Government would be more willing to negotiate than Lord Beacousfield\u2019s.We hope our American neighbours, however, do not forget that they themselves have interposed such a treaty.THE FRENCH LOAN.Whatever the net proceeds of the Provincial loan negotiated in Paris last spring may have been, the Journal of Commerce has gone to the trouble of calculating what they should have been had the Exchange been effected in the most economical manner.According to our contemporary, whose figures are based upon the rates of actual transactions of a similar nature, the transfer of the money from France to the hands of the Provincial Treasurer should have been effected as follows :\u2014 £784,000 at francs 25,215_Francs, 19,768,560 less 14 per 1000 premium paid to bullion dealers for full weight gold pieces.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2018 24,710 Amount in gold to be remitted .oo.oiiiiiiie a Francs,

There is some uncertainty as te the actual proceeds received by the Government from the loan, which must be made clear by the Public Accounts, if a semi-official explanation is not given in advance.Foran 28,566.72 $3,780,329.06 will be recollected, the bankers were to remit.to the Government a sum of £784,000, or its equivalent in francs in Paris at the rate of 25 francs and 21} centimes per pound sterling, in two ejual instalments between the 1st and the 15th of July last ; at least, says the Journal of Commerce, the terms of the loan were said to have been altered to read in that sense.The bulk of the loan, we understand, was not received till a few weeks ago, andthe delay should entitle the Government t8 some rebate on the first semi-annual payment of interest, amounting to £24,000, and due on the 1st of January next.Tue WESTERN ABATTOIRS\u2014We are in- informed that a very strong feeling exists in the Municipalities of St.Gabriel and Verdun anent the recent action\u2019 of the Finance and Market Committees in graut- ing the application of Mr.Bickerdike to drain his contemplated abattoir by way of the River St.Pierre, which stream runs through these villages and which empties itself into the St.Lawrence, a short distance above the St.Cunegonde Water-Works, from whence St.Gabriel and St.Cunegonde get their supply of water.The Councils of these villages intend to-day, together with the representatives of the Knox estate and Messrs.Berger & Beique, proprietors of the St.Cunegunde Water-Works, to enter energetic protests before the City Council on the matter, holding the city liable for all damage to property, gtc.The Montreal Abattoir Company intend also protesting against the granting of the petition as an infringement on their contract.In view of all this the members of the Council should weigh well all the circumstances and pay some attention to the opinion of the City- Attorney, before dragging the city into unnecessary and expensive litigation.-_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Mr.G.W.Ross, member for Middlesex, has given notice of motion, which will be presented to-day, for an Order of the House for Returns showing all appointments and dismissals made under the Weights and MeasuresAct, from the lst day of July,1879, to date; and receipts and expenditures under the said Act from the lst day of July last to the 1st day of December.The re- { turn which Mr.Ross has moved for will be chiefly interesting as showing the number of Liberal office-holders, in one department alone, who were dismissed under some miserable pretext, in order to make room for Conservatives.The members of the Weights and Measures Service appointed by the late Administration were pretty generally ousted by Sir John\u2019s Government, not because they were unfit for the position they held, but to carry out the dangerous Jacksonian doctrine, that to the victors belong the

SIR,\u2014 As my name has been mentioned on several occasions in your coluirms, as well as in those of some Other city news rs, ag a proposed candidate for the position of Mayor of Montreal, I beg you will now permit me to state publicly what I have invariably said privately to the many kind friends who came to interview me on this subject, \u2018 that under no consideration would I accept the nomination for Mayor, nor would I serve if elected.\u201d Iam not insensible to the very high ar grateful to the many warm friends who Lave urged me to allow myself to be nominated with the assurance \u2018\u2018 that I would be elected without opposition.\u201d To all of them I return my profound and heartfelt thanks, and especially to my Irish Roman Catholic and French-Canadian fellow-citi- zens, whose support has been so spontaneously offered.I am impelled to come to this decision, from the fact that my numerous public engagements already demand and receive a large amount of my time and labour ; that my private business (to me the most important of all) requires my constant and ever watchful supervision, and last, though not least, there are a hundred gentlemen in Montreal to-day better qualified than I to fill that highly honourable position.Yours respectfully, Tuomas WorkMAN.Montreal, December 18, 1880.P.S.\u2014I am deeply grateful to Mr.J.L.Beaudry for his candid opinion of me, as expressed to a Star reporter, \u201c that I was far too passionate a man for the position.\u201d It is instructive, at least, to know our faults, and better still, when knowing, to reform them.I shall, therefore, be equally candid with Mr.Beaudry, and say that, in my opinion, he is far too chaste and virtuous a man for the position of Mayor.Knowing this, it is to be hoped he also will reform.THE STEPHEN ESTATE.To the Editor of the MONTREAL HBRALD.Sir,\u2014In your issue of the 11th inst.the following paragraph appeared :\u2014« Mr.P.8.Ross, accountant, has been engaged by the heirs

Loxpox, December 19.Since the beginning of the Irish disturbance, no week has witnessed greater excitement; none more flagrant instances of a widespread spirit of lawlessness; none a more rapid development of the crisis; none has drawn more sharply the lines ofthe opposing parties, and none made plainer the purpose of the Irish leaders simultaueously to sunder the political ties of Ireland and Engfabric of their own country.THREE SUCCESSIVE CABINET COUNCILS, each long and anxious, sufficiently indicate the severity of the political strain.Although no crisis, properly speaking, has occurred, it is known that differences of opinion exist in the Cabinet, which are each day becoming broader.There was no intention till the end of last week to hold a Cabinet Council before Wednesday, and the summons for Monday was certainly occasioned by Forster's urgent telegrams from Dublin.It is equally certain that Forster has laid before his colleagues facts which in his opinion, would justify, an immediate increase of the Executive powers for dealing with the existing disorders.It is not true that Forster has at any time offered Lis resignation or ultimatum.Forster, though the best-abused man in England by both sides, has shown throughout PATIENCE, JUDGMENT AND DECISION ; recognizing political obstacles to immediate Parliamentary action while steadfastly representing that the powers entrusted to the Irish Executive are insufficient to repress daily accompanied by bolder Chamberlain, He brings to the consideration of the gravest Imperial questions, petty prudence, and paltry political ideas, derived partly from provincial municipal experience, and partly from crude theories of Democratic privileges spawned by continental Communists.Chamberlain leads a party of fit occasion, in general intercourse with the | daily diminishing numbers and influence, ;

This addition to the reserve enabled the banks while making a very moderate contraction in credits to show a surplus in reserve above the 25 per cent.requirement of $2,171,925; last week the banks lacked $83,200 of a 25 per cent, reserve.A year ago the surplus reserve was only.$1,856,- 650.The following shows the changes in the averages during the last week : \u2014Loans, decrease, $586,600;

we have not heard from Chicago yet\u201d Compare this with Beerbohm\u2019s telegrant of yesterday: \u2018 New York advices cause depression.\u201d That is the story.New York then causes depression in Liverpool, and that fact cabled over here is accepted as a valid reason for further weakness in Chicago.We do not, say it is not a poor reason ; for it is evidently a sufficient one, It would seem, however, as if the same result might be obtained less expensively by sending the news through a shorter circuit.A line of wire laid around the block on which stands our Chamber of Commerce would perhapsanswer the purpose ; and if se, O how uch less it would cost.\u201d er er When we say that the Money market is easy we scarcely conceive an exact idea of its condition.The supply of loanable funds is so abundant that torrowers with unimpeachable credit have things pretty much their own way.It is when money is p eaty that lenders have to face the strongest competition.Rates of interest are regulated by the same principles of supply and demand that apply to all branches of trade and commerce.The ensuing winter months promise no material change in the course of the local Money market, and we shall probably have to repeat our quotations at 6 /@ 7 per cent.for good commercial bills, as to name and date, and 3 @ 5 per cent.a.nature of the collaterals, for some time to come.In fact, exceptional transactions are reported at even lower rates than the foregoing quotations.At this time last year we were quoting 7 @ 8 per cent.for commercial bills, 5 @ 6 per cent.for call and 6 @ 7 per cent.for time loans.The market for Sterling Exchange coutinues dull and inactive with the rates nominally unchanged at 8} premium between banks and 8§ cash over the for call, short-dated and time loans, as to the: D market.The tendency of Bank of Montreal in the last two months has been ber 18 to date being about 14 per cent.From October 18 to November 18 all the leading bank and miscellaneous shares ad- day show a decline for the majority of the on the date named :\u2014 Oct.18 Nov.18.Dec.18.Montreal.152} @ 153} oF @ 159 * 1674 @ 168 § Ontario.88 @ 85} 9/@ 9Bi* 98 @ 98} Peoples.79 @ 813 93 @ 94} 92 @ 95 Molsons.99 @ 99} 107 @ 107 Lao @ 106 Toronto .188 @ 135 1374 @ 139 140} @ 145 Jac.Cartier 9 @ 83 .30 @ 8B Merchants.107] @ 108} 115} @ 1153* 116} @ 117 Towns\u2019ps .@ 110, 1 .@110 * Commerce.128} @ 12941374 @ 138} 1871 @ 1874* Exchange.54 +68 @ 70 63 @ 65 Mont\u2019l.Sei1304 @ 131 133} @ 1334 138} @ 133% City Pass.114 @ 116.118 @121 117 @ 118 City Gas.143} @ 144 1541 @ 155 149} @ 150 CanCotCo.@ 9 130 @140 122 @ 127 \"*Ex.dividend.The Stock market to-day, notwithstanding the usual Saturday dullness, was firmer and fairly active.Montreal sold up 1 per cent.to 168, and closed at that figure asked, 167} freely bid.Ontario were strong, and sold up from 97% to 981, closing sieady at 98 @ 98}.Merchants advanced from 1164 @ 117, and closed at those figures representing the views of buyers and sellers respectively.Commerce strengthened to 137}, ex-dividend, Montreal ~~ Telegraph opened at 134 and declined § per cent to 1334, closing at 133} @ 1334.Richelieu, in small amount, commanded 62}, and City Passenger were placed at 117.City Gas were decidedly stronger, and changed hands at 149% @ 150.Dundas Cotton Cowere quoted firm at 137} @ 140, and Canada Cotton steady at 122 @ 127.Graphic Bonds were placed at 84},and Corporation of Montreal 5 per cent.stock at 106.The transactions were : MORNING BOARD, Montreal, 35 @ 167,10 @ 1673, 160 @ 168 ;

COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, MONDAY, DECEMBE R 20, 1388 \u2014+ OUR VIEW OF TRE SYNDICATE.The ¢ Syndicate\u201d turns out to have deen a (cabalistic word.It was full fof occult meaning.On the face of it the contract seemed a harmless snd almost bene\u201d volent accumulation of benefits.It found patronage, the dangerous character of which has been partially disclosed by the Government Commission, of which Sir John\u2019s friend, Mr.Clarke, is the Chairman, and it placed all this in the hands of re spectable business men, whose character we know, and who might be supposed to discard party preferences and conduct the vast patronage within its administration on trifling advantage in the eyes of those who dreaded the wholesale demoralization which the administration of the Pacific Railway made possiblesin the hands of party Government.The country was likely to respond with enthusiasm to any proposition which would take from the hands ef the Government the construction and operation of the\u2018Pacific Railroad.Thus there would be ah end to a number of things which have disturbed and frightened us\u2014 contract-brokerage, that unseemly monster, would thus be measurably chained.The uoble army of contractors with their lowest tenders,\u201d and their lower morale would be thinned down to less alarming multitudes.They might still be powerful, but they would not hover in swarms in the Ottawa Departments.To such an extent would the carcass be thus removed from the Government morgue that the eagles would not all be gathered together there.We believe that Governments should divest themselves of railroads, and every other patronage as well, so far as possible.It would have been better if the Intercolonial had been built by a private Syndicate, especially had it been composed of men who were, a8 we admit the present men are, unexceptionable.But even for such a benefit we might have to pay too high a price.For example, if such a Syndicate had stipulated to constitute themselves a privileged class\u2014if for example they had demanded exemption from taxation, while other people were compelled duties while other people had to cons tribute to the expenses of the Federal Government ; or, again, if the Intercolonia] Syndicate had stipulated for such a bargain as would have made them chief proprietors of the lands and railways of the Lower Provinces, dominant over everybody, without contributing like other people \u2018 to the public burdens,\u2014 private enterprise might have been desirable, but we might have got it at too high a cost.It might have swept away the substance, and entailed the serfdom of the people.It might have created a privileged class, which is contrary to the genius of our people and institutions.No matter ; this is speculation.We had no Syndicate, and we have no serflom down by the sea.We are safe.But we are face to face with another danger ; our country stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific: What we escaped in the East iscoming upon us in the West: monopoly, land- lordism, absenteeism, and, if we are not awake in time, serfdom for the millions we are inviting from the old worid to the fertile plains of that young country, whose future we are asked to handicap by improvident administration.We have been careful to study, and slow to speak ; we had sympathy with the new Syndicate ; we had confidence in the men who compose it, and in some important features we hoped the public interest would be served by them.We had, of course, no confidence in the Government, and were prepared to see them careless of the interests of the country this \u2018year, as they were in 1872.But having regard to the great public interests involved we determined early to deal with this question on its merits, We would have supported it if we could, re gardless alike of person or of party.But we must say frankly that a more complete giving away of the great and fertile North-West than the details of this Syndicate contract disclose it would require an ingenious lawyer to devise.Their lands are exempted from taxation.The settler must bear all the burden.The rich Syndicate helps nothing to build any of the things necessary to make the settlements prosperous, or the Railroad profitable.The Syndicate has no special power to impose rates of taxation on the people, but there is nothing to prevent them doing the same thing practically by exorbitant tolls on the goods transported.There is a sham provision about regulating tolls, which looks as if it had been drawn for the special purpose of remaining inoperative.Then the proposed Company is given a monopoly of the railways of the future which may be necessay to develop the North-West.The Company is to be protected by the exemption clauses from the obligations to sell these lands till the settler has made them valuable by his toil and sacrifice, There is no adequate security taken for the fulfilment of the Company\u2019s obligations, People have had faith because the members of the Syndicate are rich, but they are to be protected from personal liability by the interposition of a convenient limited liability Company, and all the parade we have had about the guarantees the Govenment has taken are a delusion and a snare.We have already pointed out what cannot be too often repeated, that the construction of the Eastern Section of this proposed road is, at the present time, wholly unnecessary.The vicissitudes of trade, American rivalry or other considerations, may ultimately compel us to adop an-all-Canadian route.But it wil] be time cnough to provide against an evil when it knocks at our doors.The present scheme, the Sault route, being abandoned, will deprive our seaports of the American North-West trade for a generation.The Sault connection, which we have discussed so often, and shall do so often again, is the only means of getting early access to the American North-Western trade of Northern Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the territories westward.We had a right to expect that these gentlemen who now constitute this Syndicate, and whose interests centre at St.Paul, would be powerful aids in securing the Sault connection.The action of the Government makes them enemies instead of friends of the Sault route, and may indefinitely postpone the construction of that road, which is, we venture to say , more important to the Eastern Dominion, and especially to Montreal and Quebec, than all the other railways under public consideration put together.We shall await with anxiety the decision of the Governmentas to an adjournment over the holidays, which would give the people more time to consider a question of so overwhelming importance.At the beginning of the Session the First Minister, in effect, denied the right of the electors to be consulted, but it is now whispered \u2018that, if the Syndicate will consent, wiser counsels will prevail.Nobody denies that, as a consequence of the improvident bargain made by Sir John A.Macdonald with British Columbia, the railway has to be built, though there is no commercial reason for hurrying it West of the arable lande.The resolution [of vur Parliament, several : titnes since incorporated into the law, that\u2019 the road should not be pushed fast enough to mcrease the taxation of the country, is still a sacred safeguard, aud it is nonsense ! the roads, to support the schools, or do'| y us build the road through the prairie meantime expected to come.In consider us have regard, at the same time, for our obligations and our interest.And as to the that some existing evil demands redress, and that the construction of this vast and lonely highway will afford it.Meantime, let us address ourselves to practical communication with the North-West, without entering into the details.It seems evident that the means of easy access are available, and the public voice should le \u2018heard everywhere, demanding a sensible stated, is between communication by the Sault in two or three years, or through the wilderness of the North shore in twenty years.Both routes may ultimately be built, but, after {twenty years, the country will not have suffered, because the Sault route has been in operation, even if by that time the inhospitable Northern shores of the Lakes should ring to the whistle of & lonesome locomotive.AMERICAN BOARD OF TRADE.The Executive Council has made a report to the National Board of Trade now in session at Washington.In many re spects it is an interesting and important document.It is a concise summary ot American commercial and industrial progress.The report favours the adoption of a bankrupt law, the maintenance of a sound currency and the regulation of inter \u2018State commerce by means of railroads by Federal legislation.It is worthy of note, as showing the growing tendency of public opinion among our neighbours on the fiscal policy of the country, that the report strongly recommends the Eaton Bill for a Commission to consider a revision of the Tariff.Considerable space is taken up with the discussion of the navigation laws, under the operation of which the United States mercantile navy is dwindling towards nothing, and the opinion of the Executive Council throws cold water on the proposal to pay towards the expenses of | yy rebuild and rejuvenate American ship- local administration; or if they had ping by Government subsidy, instead of been, as a class, exempted from revising the legislation which handicaps American shipbuilding and, at the same time, makes it practically impossible for United States citizens to buy foreign-built vessels.The report also discusses the trade relations with Canada.The failing off in our imports from that source is attributed to the Tilley Tariff, but the Boston Advertiser points out that American exportations to Canada for the fiscal year 1879- 80, during all of which year the new tariff was in force, were almost identical in value with those of 1878-79, during three-fourths of which it was not in force.We have not the exact figures at hand, but the Canadian importation of American goods has not shown the falling off, in consequence of the Protective Tariff, which was ostensibly, intended to be retaliatory, that was anticipated by its authors.The report argues in favour of a reciprocity treaty, which the Executive Council of the National Board of Trade believes Mr.Gladstone\u2019s Government would be more willing to negotiate than Lord Beacousfield\u2019s.We hope our American neighbours, however, do not forget that they themselves have interposed such a treaty.THE FRENCH LOAN.Whatever the net proceeds of the Provincial loan negotiated in Paris last spring may have been, the Journal of Commerce has gone to the trouble of calculating what they should have been had the Exchange been effected in the most economical manner.According to our contemporary, whose figures are based upon the rates of actual transactions of a similar nature, the transfer of the money from France to the hands of the Provincial Treasurer should have been effected as follows :\u2014 £784,000 at francs 25,215_Francs, 19,768,560 less 14 per 1000 premium paid to bullion dealers for full weight gold pieces.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2018 24,710 Amount in gold to be remitted .oo.oiiiiiiie a Francs,

There is some uncertainty as te the actual proceeds received by the Government from the loan, which must be made clear by the Public Accounts, if a semi-official explanation is not given in advance.Foran 28,566.72 $3,780,329.06 will be recollected, the bankers were to remit.to the Government a sum of £784,000, or its equivalent in francs in Paris at the rate of 25 francs and 21} centimes per pound sterling, in two ejual instalments between the 1st and the 15th of July last ; at least, says the Journal of Commerce, the terms of the loan were said to have been altered to read in that sense.The bulk of the loan, we understand, was not received till a few weeks ago, andthe delay should entitle the Government t8 some rebate on the first semi-annual payment of interest, amounting to £24,000, and due on the 1st of January next.Tue WESTERN ABATTOIRS\u2014We are in- informed that a very strong feeling exists in the Municipalities of St.Gabriel and Verdun anent the recent action\u2019 of the Finance and Market Committees in graut- ing the application of Mr.Bickerdike to drain his contemplated abattoir by way of the River St.Pierre, which stream runs through these villages and which empties itself into the St.Lawrence, a short distance above the St.Cunegonde Water-Works, from whence St.Gabriel and St.Cunegonde get their supply of water.The Councils of these villages intend to-day, together with the representatives of the Knox estate and Messrs.Berger & Beique, proprietors of the St.Cunegunde Water-Works, to enter energetic protests before the City Council on the matter, holding the city liable for all damage to property, gtc.The Montreal Abattoir Company intend also protesting against the granting of the petition as an infringement on their contract.In view of all this the members of the Council should weigh well all the circumstances and pay some attention to the opinion of the City- Attorney, before dragging the city into unnecessary and expensive litigation.-_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Mr.G.W.Ross, member for Middlesex, has given notice of motion, which will be presented to-day, for an Order of the House for Returns showing all appointments and dismissals made under the Weights and MeasuresAct, from the lst day of July,1879, to date; and receipts and expenditures under the said Act from the lst day of July last to the 1st day of December.The re- { turn which Mr.Ross has moved for will be chiefly interesting as showing the number of Liberal office-holders, in one department alone, who were dismissed under some miserable pretext, in order to make room for Conservatives.The members of the Weights and Measures Service appointed by the late Administration were pretty generally ousted by Sir John\u2019s Government, not because they were unfit for the position they held, but to carry out the dangerous Jacksonian doctrine, that to the victors belong the spoila.\u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ee.OBITUARY \u2014This morning it ig our pain ful duty to record the death of Mr.G.F.Reinhardt, who died yesterday morning.Mr.Reinhardt

SIR,\u2014 As my name has been mentioned on several occasions in your coluirms, as well as in those of some Other city news rs, ag a proposed candidate for the position of Mayor of Montreal, I beg you will now permit me to state publicly what I have invariably said privately to the many kind friends who came to interview me on this subject, \u2018 that under no consideration would I accept the nomination for Mayor, nor would I serve if elected.\u201d Iam not insensible to the very high ar grateful to the many warm friends who Lave urged me to allow myself to be nominated with the assurance \u2018\u2018 that I would be elected without opposition.\u201d To all of them I return my profound and heartfelt thanks, and especially to my Irish Roman Catholic and French-Canadian fellow-citi- zens, whose support has been so spontaneously offered.I am impelled to come to this decision, from the fact that my numerous public engagements already demand and receive a large amount of my time and labour ; that my private business (to me the most important of all) requires my constant and ever watchful supervision, and last, though not least, there are a hundred gentlemen in Montreal to-day better qualified than I to fill that highly honourable position.Yours respectfully, Tuomas WorkMAN.Montreal, December 18, 1880.P.S.\u2014I am deeply grateful to Mr.J.L.Beaudry for his candid opinion of me, as expressed to a Star reporter, \u201c that I was far too passionate a man for the position.\u201d It is instructive, at least, to know our faults, and better still, when knowing, to reform them.I shall, therefore, be equally candid with Mr.Beaudry, and say that, in my opinion, he is far too chaste and virtuous a man for the position of Mayor.Knowing this, it is to be hoped he also will reform.THE STEPHEN ESTATE.To the Editor of the MONTREAL HBRALD.Sir,\u2014In your issue of the 11th inst.the following paragraph appeared :\u2014« Mr.P.8.Ross, accountant, has been engaged by the heirs

Loxpox, December 19.Since the beginning of the Irish disturbance, no week has witnessed greater excitement; none more flagrant instances of a widespread spirit of lawlessness; none a more rapid development of the crisis; none has drawn more sharply the lines ofthe opposing parties, and none made plainer the purpose of the Irish leaders simultaueously to sunder the political ties of Ireland and Engfabric of their own country.THREE SUCCESSIVE CABINET COUNCILS, each long and anxious, sufficiently indicate the severity of the political strain.Although no crisis, properly speaking, has occurred, it is known that differences of opinion exist in the Cabinet, which are each day becoming broader.There was no intention till the end of last week to hold a Cabinet Council before Wednesday, and the summons for Monday was certainly occasioned by Forster's urgent telegrams from Dublin.It is equally certain that Forster has laid before his colleagues facts which in his opinion, would justify, an immediate increase of the Executive powers for dealing with the existing disorders.It is not true that Forster has at any time offered Lis resignation or ultimatum.Forster, though the best-abused man in England by both sides, has shown throughout PATIENCE, JUDGMENT AND DECISION ; recognizing political obstacles to immediate Parliamentary action while steadfastly representing that the powers entrusted to the Irish Executive are insufficient to repress daily accompanied by bolder Chamberlain, He brings to the consideration of the gravest Imperial questions, petty prudence, and paltry political ideas, derived partly from provincial municipal experience, and partly from crude theories of Democratic privileges spawned by continental Communists.Chamberlain leads a party of fit occasion, in general intercourse with the | daily diminishing numbers and influence, ; Minister Juan rights to claims for grants 1 inisters and members, to prepare the way.from the Crown with respect to which ap- BR who would deal with the Irish disorders by denying their existence and belittling their significance.They close their ears to evidence and imperil the public safety and Private interests by a pedantic adherence to forms of liberty, while the substance vanishes aud the legitimate authority of tLe overnment is passing into the hands of a private organization bused ou a denial of the fundamental principles of society, and appealing, with a success equally surprising aud shameful, to popular cupidity, dishonest vindictiveness and other baser iznpulses of human action.CHAMBERLAIN'S PERSONAL PURITY, sincerity, and honourable motives are indisputable, and the practical mischief occasioned by his presence in the Government in © se indisputable.\u2018there is no acting crisis, no profered resignation, but certain members of the Government are resolved to put off | set definite limits to concession-\u2014one Minister among the\u2019 highest freely referring, in six men capsized and all were drowned.conversation, to the possibility of his withdrawal.Evidence accumulates that Mr.Chamberlain does not represent the sober | vw eld on and righted her;
