1A TRA DE ll .\ .\' DI(‘.\ I’.

One of the largest produce dealers in Charlotte- town recently made the statement that in thecoluiss of about fifteen years business in which he pulClldafi‘ produce of many kinds from thousands of farnieis he" had been really “done ‘only twice. Some years ago he discovered a brick buried 1n a tub 0f butter._ The discovery was made before the butter was shipped and therefore no harm came of it except thelofispf the difference in value between the brick an its ivcight in butter. A few weeks ago he sold to a S3 dncy dealer “quit aimeal-ed i0 be one of the best tubs of dairy butter he had ever handled, Some (lays afterwards this tub was returned to him. Un examination he found that this butter had been veneered over to the depth of about an inch with good creamer)’ butter;

inside 0f this inch of veneer the butter was of the,

poorest quality, streaked illcurcd, unsightly a only for soap grease! _ Two dishonest farmers out of many thousands is

nd fit

a small proportion, but one naturally regrets that,

these two solitary thieves had nocbeen. detected and punished as they deservetl. Their names, particu- larly that 0f the veneer artist should go down in his- tory along with that of Ananias. _ -

Only two cases of fraud, low, miserable fraud, yet both tubswent into the market as Prince Edward Island butter, were condemned as Prince_Ed\vard Island butter, cast a reflection upon the Prince Ed- ward Island merchant who handled it and on the general name of Prince Edward Island. Hundredsof thousands of tubs of the best butter have .1196“ 5111p‘ ped both before and sincethiis shipment ofveneered butter. the price paid for them and nothing more heard of them, but those who saw that single tub and its artistic, deliberate fraud, will alyvays regard Prince Edward Island butter with suspicion. If. 3S a sequel to the transaction, the consign e at Sydney could have been informed that the perpe rator of the fraud had been sent to the _penite_ntiary_iit would have done much to restore his confidence in Prince Edward Island produce. _

_ Until there is a strict inspectionof all produce leaving the province and a means 0f identifying the origin of every‘ article good and bad and placing the credit or the blame where it_ belongs we shall find it difficult to secure the place in the market to which our best farmers aspire and to which they are en- titled. One thief in the course of a generationican work incalculable harm which will be ahanoicap‘ to all honest endeavor.

The argument is frequently heard that a spirit of patriotism should induce young menand women to give their services to their own province even at a lower rate of remuneration than that available in some other of our sister provinces. Too_ frequently also the statement is made that this province cannot afford to pay such wages as are being paid elsewhere.

As to the first argument, if the patriotism of this province is not suiﬁcientLv strong to pay its sons and daughters as generously as other provinces or other countries are willing to do, then there is n_0 reason why these sons and daughters should sacri- fice themselves for a one sided patriotism. It lS not only the right but the duty of every young man and young woman to make the best use of their talents and their education. When this cannot be done in their native province, it is the misfortune and the loss of the province. Sacrifice is a virtue and many of the sons of this province, when a real occasion arose, sacrificed their homes, their business, their prospects and, many of them, their lives for a prin- ciple, for King and Country, but there is no reason why, if their province refuses them a reasonable livelihood, they should not seek it elsewhere.

The idea that this province cannot afford to pay as good ages as are paid elsewhere is only partially true. Because of our comparative lack of industries there is not the demand here for skilled labor that there is in the larger cities and consequently there is not sufficient employment in these lines to engage all who desire to take up mechanics or trades. The great majority of those must seek employment else- 'where. In the callings for which there is a demand, and there are many of them, there is no legitimate reason why the scale of wages should be lower here than elsewhere. This applies to our teachers, our clergymen, our doctors, lawyers clerks, office em- ployees and similar callings. There was a time and not long since when the lower cost of living here pmade up to a certain extent the lower wage as com- pared with that in more expensive cities but this argument no longer holds; the cost of living here is about as high as anywhere and even higher than in some of our larger Canadian cities.

We boast that we are the richest province in Canada, an inconsistent boast if we refuse to reason-

ably share our wealth with those who earn it. We. are the wealthiest province in Canada and have the docu- merits to prove it, but we are poor indeed if we place ' ". cash value on wages we pay,
