Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - December 31, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Friday dec. 31, 18tk. A writer from one of the manufacturing states thinks he has hit upon the cause of the present Universal hard times. He at tributes the same to the rapid introduction of has so augmented production in every department of Industry that when worked to its full capacity it sluts the Market contracts or stops production or reduces prices to ruinous rates. Summing up in a few prime cause of the general depression in business is our facility to Over produce and thus de. Stroy the necessary ratio Between Supply and demand. As labor saving is not Likely to be dispensed with the writer concludes the result must be that human labor must seek or create new channels for labor work at such rates to compete with the world or resort to raising subsistence from the millions of acres not yet cultivated. The St Thomas Home journal is annoyed at or speaker Wells of the Ontario legis lature on account of his expenditure in fit Ting up his apartments. The journal says or Wells of his own Mere motion has Laid out this year in fitting up his room and there seems to be nothing for it but pay the Bill. This we submit is going too far in the extravagance line. Or Wells is not a Nabob and the office to fills does not warrant his indulging a Nabob s tastes. If he cannot give better Prool of Economy than this instance furnishes the House will require to put the Check rein into the St. Paul Minn Pioneer press de clares that for the amount and Quality of work performed by the teachers of the pub Lic schools they Are More poorly paid by fifty per cent than any other class of Public servants.

In your notice of the ordination and induction in Knox chinch last Sabbath you have inadvertently fallen into an error. As was stated at the time Only two of the gentlemen elected by the congregation required to be ordained. His excellency it govern or Morris was an elder in the late presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland for Over Twenty years and or Mcmicken acted in that capacity in the same Church for a Long time. Profs Bryce and Hart were ordained to the office of the holy ministry by presbyteries of the Church. These four were not ordained for ordination is not repeated in the presbyterian Church anymore than baptism but having been previously ordained were inducted into the office of the elder ship in Knox Church. Messes Campbell and Laid a were afterwards ordained and inducted into the same office. By inserting this correction you will oblige. Yours truly j Rosiek Tox.
