LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

‘** Georgeism. ”

Sin,—The Herald of the 16th inst., con- tains an article in reference to what it is pleased to term ‘* Georgeism ”-—a name ap- plied by it to the principles of political economy advocated by Henry George. These principles have made rapid progress amongst the masses of the people, and at the present time are engaging the earnest attention of scientists and statesmen. They are not nearly so ‘** peculiar” or subversive of law and order as the Herald would lead its readers to believe, and the fame which Mr. George gained by maintaining them was largely the cause of his choice as_can-

'didate for the mayoralty of New York.

The quotations given by the Herald are misleading and unjust to the distinguished advocate of equal rights for man. In read- ing his works asa whole, and not in dis- connected portions, it will readily be per- ceived that many, if not all, of the princi- ples contained therein are based upon the solid foundation of public rights, public justice and an earnest desire to benetit the majority of mankind. It requires careful study in order to clearly apprehend ductrines inimical to the old school of political economists ; but once mastered the idea seem no longer strange or crude. Why skowd not the fee simple

of land be vested in the Gov- ernment and not in individuals? Why should not a man be exclusively

entitled to the product of his own labor /

What is communistic in either of these principles? It requires proof not yet forth- coming to show that the land was ever intended for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. The facts of Abra- ham purchasing land to bury his wife and the sale of land by Aniwias dv not con-

stitute a divine precept. On the contrary—Leviticus xxv, 2J3—we find, ‘* The lat shall not be sold forever, f the land is mine.”

Any student f history must know that evils many and great, misery and degrada- tion untold and unknown at the present day, were the natural sequence of the iniquitous Feudal System. This system, in which might was the only right, and by which even slavery was sanctioned, has never been entirely eradicated ; and if the labor of Henry George can bring about a remodelling of many of the unjust prin ciples still adhered to, he will confer an in estimable boon upon the poorer classes ot

the human race, a SIGMA.

A Warning.

Srm,—Two very dangerous holes have been cut in the ice off Ovnnolly’s breast- work, for the purpose of procuring blocks of salt water ice, used, I am told, by packers of eggs. There can be no objection to parties taking as much ice as they re- quire from the river, provided due care is taken for the safety of the public.

Now, this is not done. Only four small sapling fir trees denote the smaller of these dangerous holes. Th second and largest

one-tenth of an acre, and as men are at work cutting ice the size is increasing daily. There are only about twenty sapling spruce and fir trees around this dangerous place.

trees, about 200 or 300 yards distant, and there are trees in the ice in all directions. in the Upper Provinces parties cutting ice on the lakes or rivers are compelled to fence the holes.

| consider that a fence made of good longers should be thrown around these holes, and closed every aight. The harbor master is a City Councillor. Let him see to it!

Your obedient servant, ‘TRAVELLER. Ch’town, 19th March, 1887. Hanging Sigus.

Sir,—-The latest addition to this nuisance in Queen Street is in the shape of a com- mon flour barrel suspended on the outer edge of the sidewalk. The style is scarcely in keeping with the new plate glass win- dows lately put into several of the stores by enterprising merchants, ,

The appearance of the streets is being destroyed by the grotesque signs suspend- ed in mid-air to the imminent risk of pe- destrians, whose lives are endangered walking underneath them when high winds prevail. Jt is time for our civic authorities to take action and put an end to this nuisance, which would not be tolerated in other civilized communities. If an accident happens the city will be held responsible for damages, and it will then be too late to apply the remedy. The practice of boot and shoe dealers in suspending boots on lines across the sidewalk should also be stopped. They have been known of late to be hung so low as to knock against the heads of pedestrians. Further comment on this subject should not be necessary. | trust this notice will wake up the authori- ties to pass stringent by-laws governing such hulsances.

CITIZEN. Query.

Sir,—If it be true that liquor dealers are vetting petitions signed against the Scott Act, what do they propose to replace it with? This isa question that requires a straightforward answer, and every friend of the Act ought to ascertain this when soli- licited to sign any petition.

QUERIST.

E must thank our friends and the public generally for their ever increasing patronage since we have commenced business.

Our Boot & Shoe Factory, in starting, had many difficulties to overcome, and we are glad that to-day those difficulties have been surmounted, and we are now well able to com- pete with the best Boot and Shoe Factories abroad. .

Some of the advantages purchasers have in buying from us is, saving of freight, ordering goods when you want them (not six months before), getting them without delay—which saves carrying a large stock which deteriorates on the shelves.

Our leathers are bought directly from the tanneries, thereby saving commissions which many factories have to pay.

We are more determined than ever to give the

BEST OF SATISFACTION

and to merit the whole of the Island’s patronage.

We hope to see many new industries arise, thereby increasing the proSperity of this
