SPRING CLOTHING AND FURNISHINGS

The Men's Department is loaded with an immense display of New Spring Suits.

The Hat Department—wel!, everybody understands that our Hat Departmen: has advantages over the smaller establishments that place it ab the head, and secures for it the bulk of the trade. We are displaying the largest variety of Spring Styles of Hats ever shown, and include all the popular shapes.

The Boys’ Department is unquestionaly the best and most attractive in the city.

The Furnishing Goods Department is not only well stocked with all that is solid and staple, but contains much that is choice and novel. :0:——_~-

No doubt about it. Ours is the largest and best selected stock ever seen in this city,—not only largest in quantity, but largest in variety of shapes,—largest in variety of materialz,—largest in correct styles,—largest in every way. What more could we

closed. I then intimated, in the presence of Messrs. Davies and Laird, that a public meeting would be held in that place on Monday, the 20th instant, when a fair hearing would be given to both sides.

Your readers are aware of what followed. Mr. L. H. Davies was invited, through the

| Press, to attend the meeting on Monday

evening. He declined, and an intimation was given that if Mr. Laird was invited he would probably attend. The Liberal-Con- servative Committee replied that they would be ‘‘most happy to have the political questions of the day discussed from the Opposition standpoint by Mr. Davies, as representative of the county, or by a substi- tute,” yet they must decline, for reasons stated, to extend an w:vitatien to Mr. Laird. This left the matter open to the whole Grit party. But no speaker on that side appeared at the meeting. I may say that Mr. Davies was the man the Liberal Conservatives wanted. No matter how signal might be the advantage in discussion gained over any other Grit speaker, the Local Grits would plead that if Mr. Davies had been present the case would have been different. I may say further that Mr. Davies’ excuses are not considered at all satisfactory. The Supreme Court closed in Charlottetown on Saturday. Mr. Davies had no business in Georgetown court until Wednesday, the petit jury being only summoned on that day. It is not thought that the werk ol the Supreme Court is of a very killing nature. The hours are short and the law- yers take their time. If Mr. Davies couid go to Marshficid to attend a one sided meeting in the middle of the court,a rest of two days might surely have fitted him for meeting an opponent, particularly as he claims to have such a good cause, and everybody knows he is a fluent speaker.

L imagine I occupy a somewhat different relation to the electors of this Dictrict from Mr. D. Laird. Besides being one of its representatives in the Provincial Legisla- ture, [ama resident elector of the place. His mightiness may regard it as ‘‘ imper- tinence” to say that he occupies no represen- tative position. But such is nevertheless the fact; and his fishing for a special invita- tion is evidence of his vanity, It was open for him before and after the correspondence between the local aesociations to attend as a substitute for Mr. Davies, and this was the only capacity in which ke had a right to be there. Mr. Laird came to Marshfield on a previous occasion uninvited. The result was a large gain to the Liberal-Conservative party in the locality. The exhibition of the ‘‘ white feather’? on the 20th inst., and the bad-natured comments of the Patriot, afford good evidence that the Grit cause is still further on the wane.

I am, yours, D. Frerevson.

Marshfield, July 24.

Taxation in England and Canade.

England is sometimes held up by admir- ing Grit scribes as a country where a model system of taxation prevails. The principal difference, however, between taxation in England and Canada lies in the fact Eng- land’s general policy is to tax the internal products of the country while Canada’s policy is to tax imports from foreign coun- tries. The following is the British revenue statement for 1884 and 1885 :—
