MAKE THE TOWN ATTRACTIVE !

Tne prosperity of Charlottetown depends chiefly upon the extent of ite trade with the neighbouring country. No one will dispute this proposition. Consequently it is worth whi.e te make Charlottetown attractive to our farmers, to place facilities for trade with them in their way and to remove every obstacle to trade with therm: To this end our merchants and the citi- zens of Charlottetown, generelly, should labor and should exert their influence, the more 80 a8 competition on the part of country stores is increasing.

The construction of a bridge over the Hillsborough River is, therefore, to be earnestly striven for by citizene as well as by the people of the country who find it advantageous to come here to sell or to buy; and we hope that the opportun~ ity to promote this important work atfor~ ded by the approaching wisit of Sir Louis Davies will be utilized. The people of Charlottetown ought to show, by word and act, that they are not satisfied with diliy~ dallying aed procrastioation in this re- gard, but are fully alive to the impor- tance of prompt and decisive action. Sir Louis has promised the bridge, as weil as the Southern railway. Doubtless, he has dong, and will continue to do, what he can in fulfilment of his promise; but it is by thie time evidertto ‘all that his hands need strengthening and his knees stiffening.

Then we may, ourselves, do something tuwards attracting the custom of the coun try, aud removing obstacles in the way of country, people. We give credit to the City Council for the repairs they are making on St Peter's Koai, and we hope that this and all others roads leading to the city and within the city limits will be put in the best possible condition. Some- thing might also be done towards thie re- moval of obstacles to free exchange be~ tween the people of the country and the people of the city, as for instance the aboli, tion of all taxes placed upon farmers doing basiness iu this City. We question the moral right of the city to impose any such taxes. The Legislature gave the City Council a right to impose taxes upon members of the City corporation, for certain purpose, Is the City Council, then, justified in imposing ‘axes upon persous who ere not members of the cor- poration ghd ndt, in any sense, residents of Charlottétown? Wetrownot. We have,

perhaps, in strict law, the power to do so:

our moral right to do so is far from clear to the just reasover. But if this point be quest.cnable, there is nc question whatever as to the jnexpediency of taxing outsiders wto come into towa to deal with us. Take»

for instance, the meat tax which has created intense dissatisfaction in the country districte surrounding Charlotte-

town as well as among the smal! dealers in the city. We recently heard a well~to~do farmer, who sells and buys hundreds of dollars worth among our merchants every year, declare that he would in future deal wholly withthe local country store of his district unless this tax, by which he is prevented from selling a few carcass~ es of mutton in his own way, be remov-~ ed. For the sake of afew dollars paid into the City treasury and a scarcely perceptible increase of sales on the part of the few city meat dealers who do a large busness, we displease and annoy numbers of customers who sell not only meat but quantities o

other products, to the profit of city dealers doing an export business and who buy all that they need over the counters of our drygoods hardware merchants, our grocers and tradespeople generally, thus making up the major part of the yearly profits and means of livelihood for most of our citizens. This is not good business. The meat tax, and all such taxes, tend to place the city store at a disadvantage as compared with the coun- try store, and todivert trade from the city to the country, These taxes ought,therefore, to be quietly removed at the first oppor- tunity, even thorgh a fraction of a frac~ tion more taxes may, as a result, have to be paid by citizens into the city exchequer.

If we could, moreover, establish a few manufactories of such things as the coun- try needs—of auch things as those for which we anaually hundreds of

thousands of doi’ars, into Ontario—the

aad

send

city would be distinctly benefitted and the!

value of property in the city improvec. Besides the farmers, who are our chief customers, we have minor #ources of prosperity in those persons having incomes who come, from time to time, to live here; and, also, in the casul visitor. For these persons the city ought to be made attrac - tive, aud we ought, individually and cols lectively, as Citizens, to spare no reason~ able effort tothatend. This duty to our city has been recognized in the decision to proceed with sewerage, and in our Queen

The value of property in Charlottetown j@ now on the down grade. This has been made evident by the recent sales held, and attempted. If the owners of prcperty in the ‘city do not bestir themselves, they will, ere long, find themselves even poorer than they are.

MY BIRTHDAY.

Kocther etone is ndiled

Poe ine carn uf wy years, And the pile i= beld together

By my varied hopes and fears,— Held together by the sobbings

And the smiles of many days ; By the censures of my tailurer,

‘By the honeyed words of praise.

Yeare consumed and warted On the world’s most @-eting things, On the phantome ever fiving On their never-tiring wings ; On the airy forma that hover Just before my eager eyes, But always further from me Than the distance to the skies,

Never a gisvee at the beautifal In earth, aod *ky, and air; Ne ver & thoug!t that reaches up To the heavens 80 bright and fair ; Never a noble feeling «irs As f walk c’er the flowery sod, Never a pulee of the beating heart Goes out to the living God.

But when the cairn of life is raised And never a stone to lay,

And the builder rests from the work begun At the dawn of che natal day,

{ then will humbly ask, oh God ! In sob, and tear, and moan,

That Tho wilt bless inv whole life through And praise each single stone.

—James Byrne, in the Ottawa Free Press.

WHAT IS THE A.O.F?

The question hasoften been asked of late: “tow many orders of Foresters ure there? In the Dominion of Canada there are four order’s, viz:—The A. O. F. (Ancient) established in IS7L. The I. O. F. (Lndependen') established 1884. ‘Lhe C.O F. (Canadian) established 1879. The C. O. F. (Catholic) established 1883.
