Arravvricts.—ln discussing The
1 abor difficulties of the pait year,
,OV. HARTRANO boldly attacks the
ysteni of the ~ trades unions whic - h'
prevents boys from acquiring trades.
he GoVernor ;.truthfully says that
he decliiie of the system Of appren-,
ticeships and the decadence c 1.
aber go together. The ho t t i,
tude toward the apprentice system
. nd the introduction of labor-savings
machinerY have helped to, degrade
labor, and that this result has been
facilitated by the tyranny\ of trades
unions. It is an old story. In that
'ealons anxiety to preventtheir trades,
from bCing overcrowded, the labor
Organization have. shut out young
learners. Is - innumerable instances
strikes have . been oidered and carri
ed out In .industrial establishmenta
when a single apprentice has been
.introdueed .beyond the narrow limit .
fixed by --the ruler of the central
organization.
,Father, who' were
skilled journey on in their trades,
e f
have sleliberat voted to shut their
ri
sons i ont of the industry by which
they! . earned their own bread. Or,
contiolled by a selfish and heartless
directory ' of ,their own, they 'have e
thrown down their tools, left ,the
forge and furnace to coq., , and have
satin wasteful idleness; rather than
let some poor youths learn in their
shop . how to earn an
,bonest living:
- I§ it any wonder that the professional
and' -commercial! callings are. i ~,
over
crowded, while there is a lack of
skilled mechanics and an' excess of
common laborers?

Whet. the Board was organised in lett, It consisted
of one member from each judicial . disitict. torn*•

Jett of taxation was real estate. The Board now
consists of the Auditor General. State Treasurer
and Secretary of the Cmamotnreaith, and personal
property only Is liable to taxation., The law. as ap
plicable to real .istate, isnot adapted to the Valua

The retorts from the commissioners of the sever

eo unequal to the valuation o. the property, and
soine - of them so deficient in returning full &arma

Although crippled by the failitret of - its

I think indeed, that the. salary ' provision
