on the late session. The sum and substance of his whitewaahing r8; port is, that everything is "0. K- with the King Government. BN1 that they just went ahead and did what they wanted to do! If he had been frank enough he could have said that the government had to be prodded into doing something f0‘: the Island—for Kings County lll particular.

It is significant, that he ncvfll‘ mentioned the "round Folllll" bus‘ iness. No doubt his support-H's would be pleased to see him clear himself of that. Why did he not?

This salary grabbing business will never be stopped until the electors get into the habit of tasking their representatives how they actvd when the “roI-un“ flew around.

Mr. Jenkins boasts of \he mol- orities the government had. T119510 majorities are no criterion by which to judge the strength of their posi- ticn. Human frailty would keep ll party together that tried to get $6.- 000 per man for a few months of doing little or nothing.

Sir,——When we look at this latest method oi‘ selling goods. We S000 realize that it has many weak points. The prospective buyer does not know the salesman nor _thc goods he offers unless it is a nation- ally advcrtised line, as, for instance. Fuller Brushes. He or she is there- fore at a. disadvantage from the be- |glnnlng. Shouldl the merchandise {not be according to sample submit- ted or go wrong in any way, what come-back do they have? On the lather hand, we must not overlook ,thai: the good merchants of Char- llottetown who carry large stocks,

_ Shy-The Financial Post in its ‘ISSUE of June 15th. which article ‘was re-iaublished in the Charlotte- itowh Guardian on Saturday last, ‘has attempted to criticize adversely :the Commerce and Transportation

project, which is being pushed for-l

ward rapidly by G. A. Stimsoniuul Company, Limited.

The cost of this when completed will be ‘$16,000,000. Directly opposite Stim- ‘sons new building the Tlomtnlgn Department of Public Works is pivoting a $3,000,000 building to

Front Street. where all thv putside trafllc comes to Toronto. iruns along the south side of the |bu$ldingn It will thus be seen that th situation is unequalled.

i Toronto is fast becoming the fln- ancial and commercial centre of Canada, and it is no ilnwarranted boast to say that no better site for a business and oflice building could be secured in the British Empire. The most that the Financial Post cl" 881W Bsoinst the project is that the values appear to have grown lime "ll! Project was first launched. This is the most natural thing in the world. The land in the vicinity of such expensive structures cannot

The Post's article refers chiefly to some technical and legal critic- isms. which must necessarily be true of every large project in the mph- "l8- The property as secured ‘by Frederick G- ‘ ” . President b: G. A. Stimson dz Co., Ltd. and cost

handed over to the Company, this

claim will be paid oil, and the pre

ferred shareholders will have the first and only claim against the property, Therefore, the childish criticism of the Financial Post is absolutely unwarranted and evi- dently intended to mislead inno- cent readers.‘

- The valuation put on the project, when completed, has beenéstimated by Robbins Limited, one of the fore- most Real Estate valuators in Can- ada, A careful reading of the Post's article shows that they were endeav- oring to knock the project, without making themselves actually liable for an action, because their suggestions are inslnuations rather than defin- ‘ibe statements. One of the glaring This-statements in the article is the inslnuation that one store only is leased. They- do not say' so in so many words because they know such a statement would be false, but they carefully leave this idea with their “readers. They mention the lease to United Cigar Stores for twenty-one years on the Bay Street side of the building, showing a rental of $2,702.00 for the first three years: $3,204.00 for the next seven years and $3536.00 for the remaining eleven years. This ‘is a big rental for one small store, but to insinuate that only one store

. is rented is absolutely and utterly un-

true. The agreement to rent thls_ store was made at least one year; before tho building ivas started. The, whole building is now lIll(lL‘I' con-i tract for rental and will bf.‘ hilly oc-i cupied as soon as ('llill|)l(.'t.(‘(l. Leases; for all the stores and nlliccs run, from twenty-one to thirty years, and. arc made to most reliable people. | Another glaring mix-statement ini the article is the suggestion that‘ while the land was jinn-chased furl $500,000 it was almost immediately,‘ afterwards mortgaged for 5850.000 ’l"his is n more serious reflection on the Financial Agents who would, lend $850,000 on a property worth: only $500,000 than on G. A. Stimson & Company Limited. The mortgag- evs must at least have had faith in- the increasing values of the pro- perty purchased or else they were, utterly unfitted to be trusted with‘ so much money for loaning purl jnoses. We leave the readers to uiudgc for themselves which is cor-j rect. ; A careful perusal of the article in ‘the Financial Post. and us re-pub- ‘lishcd in The Guardian, will show ,n carefully prepared attempt to dis- | rcdlt an tuidertaking,withotit making |any definite charge against it. The ar- ticles in the Financial Post towards Stlmsonfls projects have always been‘ unfriendly. and the fact that they ‘e not able to make any damaging atcments against the project evidence aside fr( m insinuations against this pro- irut is the strongest boost in its favor.

"Rate-payer" states that I demand $2500 for making a suit from anybody who buys goods uny- iwhcrc outside my store. This state- -mcnt cannot be correct as I am not a tailor. I once heard a preacher may anything that deceiveth a man ‘is a lic.

I never asked either of those societies to work in my behalf for I am not a tailor, therefore I have no axe to grind. I am just a small country store keeper.
