a TY forbids us (to use a slang phrase) to blow our own horn, and as it is contrary 4 to our opinion (according to the old proverb) when in Rome to do as Rome does, we shail endeavor, as heretofore, to present tacts so undeniable as to be beyond the reach of dis- pute. True, people have gained for themselves a name (not an enviable one) which, to all appearances, served the purpose they had in view. But wisdom dictates, before posing as leaders in the great race for supremacy, that we should look well to the foundation upon which those assertions are based. To throw the mantle of charity over such people is our motte ; and instead of revealing to the public gaze, through your columns, the errors into which they have fallen, we will endeavor to lead them gently into the light. That you will acquiesce in what wt say, is a foregone conclusion, namely, as Fathers of the trade in this Province we treat the several branches of the trade in this city with the same consideration as a loving parent would his innocent offspring ; and to this end we invite such traders to aim high and co-operate in elevating this, the first profession, to the high status to which it is entitled. In the meantime, call and see our handsome goods, in NAPS, MELTONS, SCOTCH TWEEDS, WORSTEDS, etc., made up in the latest styles and cheap.

Ask For Ayer’s

Sarsaparilla, and be sure you get it, when you want the best blood-purifier.

: With its forty years of unexampled suc- cess in the cure of Blood Diseases, you can make no mis- take in preferring Ayer’s

Sarsaparilla

to any other. The fore-runner of mod- ern blood medicines, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla ig still the most pop- ular, being in great- er demand than all others combined,

“ Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is selling faster than ever before. I never-hesitate to recommend it.”’— George W. Whitman, Druggist, Albany, Ind.

“T am safe in saying that my sales of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla far excel those of uny other, and it gives thorough satisfac- tion.”— L. H. Bush, Des Moines, Iowa.

¢ —- Sarsaparilla and Ayer’s Pills are the best selling medicines in my store, I can recommend them conscien- tiously.”"—-C, Bickhaus, Pharmacist, Roseland, Il.

“We have sold Ayer’s Sarsaparilla here for over thirty years and always recommend it when asked to name the best blood-purifier.””— W. T. McLean, Druggist, Augusta, Ohio.

“T have sold your medicines for the last seventeen years, and always keep them in stock, as they are staples. ‘ There is nothing so ook for the youth- ful blood’ as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.”’— R. L. Parker, Fox Lake, Wis.

“ Ayer’s Sarsaparilla gives the best satisfaction of any medicine I have im stock. I recommend it, or, as the Doctors say, ‘I prescribe it over the counter.” It never fails to meet the cases for which I recommend it, even where the doctors’ prescriptions have been of no avail.””—C, F.

How the Tariff Works.

FREE TRADER AND PROTECTIONIST;

(Hamilton Spectator.)

to which you seriously object / look at the matter fairly.

Free Trader.—In the first place the tariff is too high. It unnecessarily taxes the people.

to $4.19 per head of the population. In 1888 to $4 49. If allowance be made for increased surplus, increased payments into ‘sinking fund (that is, payment of the public | debt), and increased allowances to provin-

‘ces, the charge was no higher in the later)

| than in the earlier year.

with 1888 ? . P.—-Beeause in 1878 the revenue failed

|tomeet the expenditure. You surely do

| uot desire a tariff which will faii to provide

,revenue fur the ordinary expenditures of

|the Government. Well, what next ¢

| F. T.—1 cbject to the, protective prin-

‘ciple of the tariff.

P,—Then if your party were in power it would give us a free trade tariff?

F. T.—Weli—un—no. But we would ‘materially change the complexion of the tariff. For example, we would lower duties onarticles of general consumption and on raw materials.

P.—A careful examination of the returns shows that articles in general use are not sc highly taxed as they were under the Cart- wright tariff, and that the proportion of free guods is greater than under the Cart- wright tariff. In 1878 the free goods cer- tainly did not amount to 28 per cent. of the total imports for consumption. In 1888 the free goods amounted to 32 per cent. of the total imports.

F. T.—O, come, now; you know that the tariff makes everything dear for the poor man.

P.—What is made dear? Are not provi- sions cheaper than in 1878—cottons, wool- lens, clothing, boots and shoes, furniture, oreadstuffis, groceries, almost everything that people in ordinary circumstances use ¢

F. T.—The cheapness is in spite of the National Policy, not because of it. Prices have fallen all over the world. Do you ‘mean to say, for example, that sugar would ‘not be cheaper than it isifthere were no duty ¢

P.—Certainly, if the duty were removed from sugar it would be cheaper than it is. But would you remove the duty from sugar if you were in power ¢

F. T.—Yes,

P.—Why did you not remove it when you were in power ¢

F. T.—Revenue necessities compelled us to retain it.

P.—Whiat reason is there to think re- venue necessities would not compel you to retain it if you were to get into power again /

F. T.—At all times we would remove the protective features of the tax, so that the monopolistic refiners could not rob the peo- ple, and the duties actually paid would go into the treasury and not into the pockets of a gang of thieves.

P.—In other words, you would destroy the refining industry, make a large amount of property worthless, and turn a consider- able number of workmen ovt of dvors. Now, let me show that the difference be- tween the cost of sugar and its price to the consumer was greater in 1878 than in 1888, In the former year, ail sugar imported into Canada cost for price and duty, $7.12 per 100 pounds, or say 74 cents per pouad, The retail price of granulated was about 8 pounds for a dollar, or 124 cents a pound. | In 1888, all the sugar imported cost in | price and duty $4.25 per hundred pounds, or say 44 cents a pound. The price averag- ed perhaps 8 cents a pound, though at times as much as sixteen pounds of granu- lated sugar was sold for a dollar. The price to the consumer certainly fell off by more than the fall in cost to the importer. But this statement is unfair to the refiner, because no allowance whatever has been made for the cost of refining. But the fact is that sugar is now cheaper than it was;and | the difference between cost and the price ‘to the consumer is !ess than it was. Then ‘you have forgotten. another matter. Tea and coffee are used as regularly as sugar, though not to the same extent. In 1878 green tea paid a duty of 6 cents a pound, black tea of five cents, and coffee of 2 cents. Now these articles, if imported direct,: are free of duty.

F. T.—Well, the tariff isan abomination anyhow.

P.—By, the way, I believe you advocate commercial union with the United States.

F. T.— Yes, I do.

P.—How is it that you desire the Cana- dian tariff increased by more than 50 per cent. to make it conform to that of the United States /

F. T.—Oh, see here let up.

| 9 7 | F, T.—But why do you compare 1873 fol

King’s County Notes.

Murray Harbor North is an old settle- ment, where many ef the people are inde- pendently well-to-do. This is a pleasant place to travel though, especially of a clear day, as agrand view of a partof Nova Scotia proper can be distinctly seen.

The farms here are fronting on the shores of the Strait, andthe people have many advantages in securing kali, or kelp, sea- weed, etc. ; besides, different kinds of fish can be caught near the shore in season. The greater part of their farms are cleared, well fenced, and carefully cultivated, and they grow heavy crops of hay, grain and potatoes, etc. On all sides can be seen many large and comfortable dwellings and [f out-buildings. There are also some good orchards end gardeus at this place, and judging from the genuine reception which your correspondent received here as well as in other places, the vine of hospitality grows luxuriantly.

The old Graham estate, comprising about 700 acres, is still in the possession of seven families of that name. William W. Gra- ‘ham’s grandfather, who emigrated to this Island about 115 years ago, bought this ‘property from Mr. Cambridge, and paid seventeen shillings and sixpence per acre Like many parts of this Island, jthere are some hale old people to be seen

| The first-named gentleman emigrated \from Perthshire, Seotland, and was only 5 ‘years of age when he arrived here. His | parents settled about two miles from George- jtown, there being at that tame but one |**little hut” there, as the old gentleman ‘termed it. There were no roads there at that time, save an occasional cow path. The pionzers were obliged to travel along the shore and bays, and canoes were mure in use than any other conveyancé. The early settlers had no grist mills, and they were obliged to grind their grain on quar- rens, or hand-mills. The first grist mill the old gentleman remembers was at Bay Fortune, and after they removed to Murray Harbor North he often went to- that place to get «a grist ground. Murray Harbor North school, which is a good one, is taught by Mr. Neil McDonald. There isa very neat liall over the school. The Pres- byterian Church at this place is a very good structure, large and comfortable, and heat- ed by a furnace. Rev. Alex. Raulston is pastor, who has also a neat and cosy resi- dence. ‘The post office is kept by Mr. J. C. McLure.

James Clow & Son’s establishment at this place deserves more than a passing notice, and is equal, if not superior, to many of your city stores, situated in a fer- tile district, and only a few roods from shipping, where the firm has a good wharf and warehouse, The facilities for carrying on an extensive business are good. There is teleponic, communication at this estab- lishment with the most important points on the Island. The stores, warehouses, and other out-buildings are many, large, com. modious and attractive, so that the place looks more like a village than an establish- ment. The Messrs. Clow are also extn- sively engaged in the lobster business, and have two very large establishments, ene at Murray Harbor North, the other South. They also farm pretty largely, having 230 acres of land, with all modern improved agricultural improvements, as well as some very fine uorses, The grounds around the private residence are tastefully kept with some fruit and ornamental trees. When Mr. Clow began business at this place 28 years ago, he could scarcely tind land enough to build him a little log cabin. To- day it is one of the most flourishing insti- tutions of its kind in the country. This firm has now two or more vessels loading whose names | have not learned, besides the following named vessels which they have sent off to the British Provinces and to the United States, viz.: Neal Dow, Mary Florence, Pioneer, Concord, Lapwing, Montague, Vivid, Minnie A. (twice), Two Sisters, (twice) Ann Maria, Lord McDon- ald, Can’t Help It and Urasse—all schoon- ers yarying from 30 to 100 tons burden.

Murray River Bridge is, comparatively speaking, a new place, and has made much improvement of late. This is a good ship- ping place, as there is a sufficient depth of water at the bridge to admit vessels of large tonnage. The McClure Bros. are working on a vessel which has been on the stocks for some .ime past, and which they iatend to launch next season. There are four stores at this place, viz., McLure Bros., D. H. Hume, A. J. McInnis & Co., and M. Gillis, allof whom do good busi- ness.

Mr. D. H. Hume has a genera! store, where the post office is also kept. Mr. J. D. Hume, merchant tailor and clothier, has a very good establishment where he does a larze business, and employs some hands. Mr. D. Hawkins has also a tailor- ing establishment. Mr. Peter Murphy, carriage and sleigh builder, manufactures some very fine vehicles, and has at. exten- sive trade through the country. Mr. A. McKenzie is the village blacksmith, and is constantly employed. Mr. Thomas Keenan, shoemaker. has a brisk trade, and employs some hands.

There are two doctors—Drs. McIntosh and Brehaut—both of whom have a good practice. R. Whitney, Esq., is clerk of the County Court, which is held in the County Court, not far from the bridge. The Murray River school is taught by Miss Saunders. The inhabitants are building a new schoolhouse. There has been consid- erable produce shipped from this place this season, and some vessels are now loading. The principal shippers are McLure Bros., D. H. Hume, and A. J. Melinnis & Co, There is telephone connection at this place with several important points; but the otfice is too far from the centre of business, being nearly a mile from the post office and the principal stores. The Presbyterian church, built under the auspices of the late Rev. Donald McDonald, is still eceu- pied by the adherents of that faith, whose administering elders frequently hold prayer meetings and give spiritual instructions to those entrusted to their care. The ad- ministering elders are Mr. Ewen Lamont and Mr, John Compton. This village, cen- trally situated in the heart of a fertile agvi- cultural district and good shipping is des- tined ere loug to be an important plave.
