LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

| Letter from Wiliam Murphy, Eeq., C OC.

| Sir,-+ 1 did not intend to reply to Mr. T.n‘on’s let'er ; but as some of my friends ' wish me to do sv, I will be as brief as pos- ifible. In the first place I must say that I am surprised that Mr. Tanton ehould refer

| to so small a matter as a few tons of coal,

more so, 88 1 believe that it was explained }at the Council, that a larger supply of coal than usual had been laid in, but that owing tothe sévere winter a greater quantity was used. With respect to the unpaid and dis- ; puted accounts, | believe that it. is not

me at the City C the ‘increase, are altogether untrue. the beginning of the civic year of 1877, 1 left the City Countil, and the total debt then was under $50,000, and for which the! city had most of its present fire apparatus including steam engines, Market House, Spring P property. The city at that time | had been incorporated over © twenty, years, During no part ef the civic years 1877 and 1878, was [a member of the City | Council; but Messrs. Morris, Horne and | Davy were, and the debt of the City was increased by deficits, etc., during those two | years, over $42,000. In1879 I was a mem- ‘ber of the Council, but was then in the Opposition. Messrs. Morris, Horne and Davy were, as now, members of the major- ity, Councillor Davy being on the Finance Committee, and the debt this year, by deficits, etc., was again increaged over $12,000. In 18801 was in the Council for a few months at the latter part of the year. The increase of the debt was about $2,000, making a total increase of debt from defi- cits, etc., in four years of over $56,000; and I leave the citizens to say if it is or is not Messrs. Morris, Horne and Davy, more than I or any one else in the Council, who are responsible for that increase of debt, and for which there is little or nothing to show.

During the years 1881 and 1882, [ was Chairman of the Finance Committee, and itis well known that, in place of ‘‘deficits,” land my friends had a surplus for the two years of $2,308.77. ;

British Columbia Again.

Sir,—Lately 1 have received a great number of letters from parties residing in P. E. Island asking for information about this {part of the Dominion, and I take the liberty of answering all through the medium of your valuable paper, and in doing so copy from The Resources of British Columbia, |a paper published in the Province, and whose article I heartily endorse.

‘* British Columbia is entering upon an ,era of great prosperity. Fully $3,000,000 are expended upon public works annually. | Thousands are employed on the construc- ‘tion of the Canadian Pacific Railway. A railway along the Eastern Coast of Van- | couver Island, is almost certain to be under coustruction soon. A large graving dock is being made at Esquimalt. The pro- vincial industries are flourishing. Trade is sound, and exports are annually increasing.

The climate is the America—serene and invigorating —its varieties ranging from the climate of the south of England to that of a large portion of France.

Soils are fertile. Crops donot fail. The wheat, barley, oats and hops of British Columbia beat those of California. The crops of British Columbia cannot be sur- passed in any country.

Gold mining keeps its place and is cap- able of great extension. Fields of coal and ‘mountains of iron lie side by side, and rich silver ledges abound. ther valuable min- erals exist in great variety.

The fisheries are boundless, and, although comparatively untouched, already yield about $2,000,000 a year for export alone. Food fish can be had almost anywhere for the taking.

British Columbia has the most extensive and valuable forests in North America, and, although this industry is yet in its infancy, the annual product of manufactured lumber is about 30,000,000 feet.

A free public school is placed within the reach of every child in the province, and high schools and colleges are to be found in the centres of population. No State Church, no tithes, but a fair supply of churches throughout the country, including the Anglican, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian and Methodist.

The political system is as free as man can desire, full self-government and citizenship easy of attainment by aliens. Any settle- ment of not less than thirty house-holders may form themselves into a municipality and manage their own local affairs

Law and order prevail in a high degree and justice is firmly and fairly administer- ed. -Petit jurors are paid from $1.50 to $2 00 a day for every day they attend, and witnesses are well paid.

British Columbia possesses one of the most liberal land systems in the world. Crown lands can be pre-empted or pur-

f payment, and the settler can have his homestead to the value of $2,500, and per-

tered and thereby effectually secured against all creditors.

The railway works and many of the pro- vincial industries are hampered by want of labor. Every man and woman, able and willing to work, can find employment. Domestic servants are wanted. Wages are high.” Yours, & ,

ouncil are the sole cause a very transient, an In

Commercial] Bravery.

There is such a commodity as commercial bravery, just as surely as there is physical and moral bravery, and te the last named the commercial article is very closely allied. As in physical undertakings, so in com- mercial ones, the term bravery is not always clearly understood, and a worthlees counter- feit is too often accepted as the genuine article. The blind reckless man who rushes headlong into physical danger with- out comprehending what risk he undertakes, cannot truly be ealled brave, though with that incomprehensible !uck which frequently attends reckleseness, he may come safely and honorably out of thesame The Duke of Weilington once noticed a colonel of a regiment turn pale, as at the head of his men he obeyed the order to charge in the face of s terrfic fire. ‘‘ There goes a brave ., soldier,” said the Iron Duke. ‘* He sees and understands his danger but faces it.” People are too liable to take a different view of bravery in connection with commercial affairs, and look upon the reck- less speculator, who ‘‘stakes his pot’’ as gamblers would say, and comes out success- ful, as a prodigy of commercial courage, when his success is merely the result of recklesness and blundering lick. It is when reverses overtake a man in commer- cial affairs, that his bravery is tested, and it is then that it is as a rule found wanting in the reckless man. His calculations are all based upon good luck, and when that is reversed he seldom faces matters squarely and battles honestly against difficulties, re- treating step by step from prosperity and expected opulence, to rigid retrenchment and perhaps insolvency. His collapse is almost certain to be complete, and seldom free from the taint of trickery and eubter- fuges.

With the business man whose whole hopes of success are based upon persevering industry, and commercial tact, it is wholly different. Misfortune may overtake such a man, but he seldom fails to face the same with a philosophical determination to fight against it bravely but honestly. Such men do come to insolvency at times, but their affairs present to the inquiring creditor a record of unavoidable misfortune, and not of dishonest subterfuge ; and it is seldom that such men fail to rise again in the com- mercial world.
