Prince Edward Island must continue to be, until its present conditions are changed, a mere nursery first-class laborers other fields of effort and the cradis or of an millionaire such as W. C. McDonald, of Montreal. We can, therefore, regard, dis- passionately and philosophically, thedifficul- ties of other couatries in respect to capital aud labor.

The main causes of labor difficulties in al] countries are human selfishness and love of ease and pleasure. A laborer of excel- lent abilities and inordiaate seltishness ob- tains a leading place among his fellows, saves some money, becomes an employer of jlabor, grinds the faces of his poor em- ployes, amasses wealth, becomes 4 capital- ist,andinvests in great enterprises, by which the world is improved. Presently he dies and leaves his millions to his children. These are haughty and ease-loving. Their children, again, are idle, intemperate, gamesters, diasolute, in two or three gen- erations the property obtained by selfish- ness has all beeu expended in ease and in luxury, has all gone other selfish hands, and the later generation begins again the laborious struggle for life. There have been exceptions; but this is the rule.

| Sir,—Answering your problem in yeater- | day's issue, the following would be the vaiua of the note at the d‘fferent dates,

lufter computing interest and deducting | payment, at the several dates :— | April ni vs pubs aa deen Note $243 00 | Oly Be, TBE... vac ceccceccccce 243 00 mee" | eee = 145.10 | April 4th, 1876 he 122 40 December 7th, 1877....... ‘ 97.78 November 16th, 1883........... 121.36 | November 2d, 1899............. 160 62 February 13th, 189i aie 76.07 December Ist..... 86.32

It may be argued that an element of compound interest comes in on date of Nov. 2d, 1889 and Feb. 13:h, 1891, the full interest not having been paid on the | previous dates.

The only problem then is, is it right to compute compound interest on those two dates; the periods without payment having been six years each ?

Letter from James Paten & Co

Sin,—Meesrs Prowse Bros’ evasive letter to you of yesterday is no answer to ours of Saturday, but is another misle: ding advert- | isement to their advantage. Now, if those | gentlemen think that such an accusation as | they made against their brother merchants through Tue Examiner, Patriot and Guar- dian goes to help their business they may find themselves very much mistaken. No paragraph, no matter how ‘‘funny,” or no caricature advertisement can injure our business nor any of the other busi- ness men they have tried to hur, but goes to prejudice the intelligent public against those who produce such trashy advertisements. Now, the facts are, they accuse us of buying their goods and putting them in stock and selling the same with 25 per cent. profit. We deny the accusa- tion and atk fora public explanation. If they will not explain then they stand con- victed not only by the press but by the public in general. As far as we are con- cerned we can attend to our own business without trying to ipjure our neighbors either in our business transactions or news- paper advertisements ; that is more than Messrs. P. B can say with truth, for they seldom pen an advertisement without referr- ing to their “opposition merchan‘s,” com-

In the large the mass of the people live from hand to meuth, spending all their wages, saving nothing ; and so when troubles come they are at the mercy of the few who have been more care- ul. In recent years there have been com- binations of capitalists and unions of labor- Both capital and labor are organized Struggles between the two greater struggles there

ers, for the fight. there have been ; will be, particularly in England and the States. There are, of course, evils on both sides. But,are there not evils in con- nection with the material world—this globe of ours—storms and earthquakes, over- whelming thousands; and is it not certain thac the material world is held in position by great opposing and conflicting forces in the hand of an all-wise God? And may not the evils existent in the social and econo- mic world be permitted for the accompliah- ment of the beneticent designs of the great Creator? It is at all events certain that if great masses of capital were not held by a few persons, there would not be many modern improvements. We should not (for instance) have hed the Canadian Paci-

fic Railway if Lord Mount Scephen and Sir Donald Smith had not first become mil- lionaires, and had not, in the acquirement of their millions, obtained foresight and strength, enterprise and resolute determin

atiun. Thus we see that if the means of gratifying the selfishness innate in man

were withdrawn, the great law of human

progress would be unfulfilled. Persons who talk about mutual co-operation and the division of profits, snould seriously consider whother their schemes, if fulfilled, would

not rather than diminish the economic evils of the world. ia connec- tion with labor and capital, storms and earthquakes are apparently imminent in both Great Britain and the States. But it may be true that even ecenomic storms and earthquakes are batter for the world than a period of non-progression such as would assuredly supervene under the operation of a law providing for a division of profits among those who take no part in obtaining them.

That moral responsibility for its right use rests upon those who are possessed of capital is, undoubtedly, true. But the capitalist himself is, of necessity, the only

Interference on the part of the public would be tyranny the most unbearable, and would be wholly in- consistent with our free institutions. Se ee

Letter from Prowse Bros,

Sin,—Some of the would-be aspirants to notoriety in the clothing business seem to feel decidedly uncomfortable over what they are pleased to term our evasive reply ia Monday’s issue. We may say that we did not deem it devolving on us to exculpate them from a charge which they alone, out of their abua- dant conceit, thought themselves smart enough to perform. For dishonorable aa the trick was, it pre-supposed a smartness on the part of the doer which it is impossible to attribute to them. One would think that for those guileless disclaimers, intrenched ia so firm and endure ing a reputation, it was superflous to demand an explanation or to take pains to repudiate such an unbecoming enormity. As we have not as yet resolved ourselves into an advertising bureau for gratuitously advertising our competitors, and further we do not wish to confer any undue publicity on the firm in question by naming them. But to those over-anxious beings whose mental equipoise is se seriously affected, and lest it might disturb their wonted somnolence, we would suggest that, having made a denia', it was unnecessary for them to pursue the matter further, Rather let them trust that their reputation for veracity, if good, would obtain for them credence for their denial; but such fearful caretulness is exceedingly suggest- ive. For their solicitous regard for the wel- fare of our business we are deeply grateful, but may here state that, when we are especial- ly ia need of these gentlemen's advice as to how to run a business, we will endeavor to make our wishes in that respect intelligible, and if we have succeeded, as they say, in pre- judicing the iatelligent public against produc- ers of trashy advertisements then so much the worse for them,and perkaps explains the cause of their ill-concealed jealousy.

Tue Mvustcat Heraup, — The initial number of The Musical Herald of the United States (formerly the Boston Mus- ical Herald) is to hand. It is edited by G. H. Wilson, and will be a monthly music review. Judging by the contents of the present number, it promises to justify the expectations which its high sounding title gives rise toc. There sre many interesting articles to be found within che pages of this magazine, notably a reveiw and an- alysis of Franchetti’s opera ‘* Columbus.” The music of the World’s Colambian Ex- position receives * great deal of attention. There is also a long description, fully illus- trated, of the music halls at the World’s Fair, besides a number of short articles on subjects interesting to lovers of music The Magazine will keep its readers fully posted on all musical events of the coming year. Itis published in Chicago and Bos- ton at one dollar per annum.

London's Unemployed Resist

The Payment of Rent.

An Agitator’s Arguments.

Lonpon, Nov, 22.

The Socialist Democratic Federation, through its committee on unemployed workingmen, begins to-day the new cam- psign of rent. Waite, the Socialist who orgsnizes the demonstratiuns of unemploy- ed workingmen, addresssed a meeting yes- terday. In his speech he said that if, after to-day, any man paid a farthing of rent while his family did not have suflicient food, he would be boycotted. Waite de- clared that he did not believe in paying rent. He had not paid any in seven years and meant never to pay any. The statement was greeted with cheers. He called upon his hearers to imitate the Irish and pay their rent with blackthorns. Emer- gency committees, he added, should be formed in every district to assist tenants who resist the landlords. If the property owners succeeded in dis- training tenants it would cost broken heads. Then the distrained, with thair wives and children, will go to St. Stephen’s and camp out before the House of Parliament. Waite’s threst that organized bands will resist the eviction and it is not an empty one. A vast number of cases are already occurring in some districts, where landlords dare not execute writs of eviction.

FLOODS IN IBBLAND, Country Under Water.

House Swept Away.

Dustin, Nov. 22.

Biackwater River, County Cork, has oveiflooded and the adjacent stretches of country are under water for miles. In the town of Fermoy, there 1s almost an utter darkness at night, as the gas works are submerged. There have been heavy and prelonged rains in the country and extensive tracta of lowlands are flooded. A house at Base, Clacbough Mountain, was swept away and most of its occupants drowned.

Ship Ashore.

Meckenzie, 1,000 tona, from Dublin Sept. 21 for Pic- tou in ballast, was stranded on the eastern side of Turbottin Head, Bear Island, at the southern entrance of the Strait of Canso, between 6 and 7 o'clock, p. m., on Satur- day. The veese! is bilged on the port side and part of the shoes gone. The vessel is lying in an easy position, and will receive ono further damage if the wind does not shift to the suuth-east.

Orrawa, Nov. 20.—John Lowe, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, in the course of an interview strongly depreciates the ‘* bar- barous” system of jusrantine detention of vessels during epidemic. He thinks a thor- ough disinfection will suffice. The general impression is that if the Quebec Govern. ment interferes with Dominion officers next spriog as they did a few weeks ago, the federal authorities will promptly resent it.

“The Half Was Never Told.”

NE HALF WAS, BUT THE OTHER WASN’S. The half that was told was

about the repairs you bring to the shop, The half that wasn’t told is about the repairing of things you cannot bring. ‘Use your common sense to your own advantage, and get all the happiness out of life you can. Don’t every day go stumbling over a dozen jobs that need repairs, hunting for something that you think will baffle my in- genuity. Pause a moment and consider : —That shade roller doesn’t run properly (never was put up right) ; there’s a p'ece of moulding off the piano and a bit of veneer off the sideboard ; there’s a knob off that dvuor, and the catch doesn’t work right ; the door bell needs adjusting, or, better still, replacing with an electric bell ; there’s a cas‘er off tha sofa ; a leg loose on the dining table ; the back-comes off that chair every time you go to lift it ; the lock on the cupboard ¢oor is out of order, and another in a similar con- dition on the bureau drawer, and a couple of pulls cffit too. Yes, aad seventeen other little things bothering you every day, many vf them scarcely worth sending to a shop for repairs, Sime of them you real’y cannot send. Get them fixed all the same. Send for WALTER to do them where they are. That's the half that wasn’t told. It's the little things that cause the worry and unhappiness of life. Why be sad and sorrowful when a dollar spent in repairs will cure your cares and inske you happy. REMEMBER! - It’s not only the things that others cannot do I’m dwing. Tf your repairs come in any§regular line, l'm working in that line too ; if they are : 0° in epy particular line, that’s just my line —in fact, my specialty.
