E must thank our friends and the public generally for their ever increasing patronage since we have commenced business. Our Boot & Shoe Factory, in starting, had many difficulties to overcome, and we are
glad that to-day those difficulties have been surmounted, and we are now well able to com-
pete with the best Boot and Shoe Factories abroad.
Some of the advantages purchasers have in buying from us are,saving of freight,ordering
goods when you want them (not six months before), getting them without delay—which saves carrying a large stock which deteriorates on the shelves.
Our leathers are bought directly from the tanneries, thereby saving commissions which many factories have to pay.
We are more determined than ever to give the
BeSsST OF SATISFACTION
and to merit the whole of the Island’s patronage.
We hope to see many new industries arise, thereby increasing the prosperity of the ““Gem of the Sea.”

Temperance Lecture.
Tue fourth leeture under the direciivn of Fidelity Lodge, L. O. G. T., was de- livered inthe New Perth Schoolroom on Tuesday evening, the 10th inst., by Rev. J. F. Estey, of Montague. Notwithstand- ing the bad time of the year, quite a large number assembled to. hear an exvellent lecture on the very important subject of Temperance. Nor were any ia the least disappointed. The rev. gentleman began by showing conclusively that intemperance was the greatest evil with which the church had to grapple, either at home or in the mission fields throughout the world. He took occasion to reprimand the moderate drinkers of society, because for every drunk- ard that succumbed, only a moderate drinker was competent to take his place. According to statistics quoted, the liquor trathc costs the United States $600,000,000 and 60,000 lives every year, while Canada suffers proportionately The damage done tu man physically, intellectually and spiritually, xs well as morally and socially could not be estimated. The lecturer then exposed the inconsistencies of the license system to perfection. It was nothing more nor less than a system of boodieisin by which the Government and the licensees grew rich, at the expense of the deluded people, each party accepting half the protits, while it legalized a greater evil than war, famine and pestilence combined.
At the conclusion of the lecture the secretary congratulated the speaker on his able and impartial stand on the temperance question, and rejoiced in the fact that our proposed License Law could not muster strength sufficient to place itself properly before our legislature, as no doubt it anti- cipated a sure defeat in either house. On motion a hearty vote of thanks was tender- ed Mr. Estey for the eloquent and instruc- tive lecture, after which the meeting closed in the usual manner.-—Com.
An Ambitious Society.
(Montreal Star.)
Henry George and Dr. McGlynn are about establishing an anti-Poverty Society. There object is not to relieve the necessi- tous, but to banish poverty, from at least tiie civilized word, altogether—in the words of Dr. McGlynn, ‘‘to pluck out the very heart of the hated thing—-not to coddle it with plaster or poultice, but to reach the basis which is the perennial and fruitful parent of that horrid poverty resulting from the injustice of man in vivlating the laws of God.” Those two philanthropists have cut out a great work for themselves. Poverty has been the normal condition of the vast mass of the human beings who have peopled this world. The struggle for mere existence from the earliest time of which we have any record of the doings of men has been very hard, and in prehistoric times, to judge by the records left in the caves and in gravel beds, it was hard still. There has never been on this earth any Golden Age. ‘The Arcadia of the poets never had a material sublunary existence. In every age, in every country, and under every form of government the great ma- jority of the people have been poor. They have had to work hard for the bare neces- saries of life, and millions upon 1aillions have not been able to obtain even these in sufficient abundance. The poor have al- ways been with us.
What is the cause of this general and perpetual poverty! Is it in accordance with the unalterable laws of nature in man’s constitution and in the physical world, or is it as Dr. McGlynn says, a result of
man’s injustice in violating the laws of;
God? If the matter had relation to any- thing else than human conduct thinking men would at once say that a phenomenon so general, so uniform and of such long continuance must be caused by the opera- tion of some general and inexorable law. But it is not the fashion to aseribe men’s actions to the working of laws that are fixed. and immutable. It is the conviction of most people that for every evil that afflicts humanity there must be a remedy, if it can only be discovered. And this is why Henry George and Dr. McGlynn, when they declare that they have found an infallible cure for poverty, find so many eager and credulous listeners.
The abolition ot private property in land is their panacea for all social and most moral diseases. But if the soil were made common property to-morrow the conditions necessary to wring a subsistence from it would undergo very little change. Nature is nut generous in the common acceptation of the term. Most of her good things she holds in a hand tightly closed. It requires knowledge, courage foresight and unceas- ing toil on the part of men to compel her to slacken her hold ofthem in the least. But men are ignorant and faint-hearted and disinclined to exertion which is both continuous and arduous. Laws ana social systems have hitherto failed to change what appears to be the nature of most men 50 as to fit them successfully to struggle with nature. It would seem as easy to trans- form a butterfly into a bee as to make some men industrious and provident. And if poverty is to be banished from the earth, the struggle with Nature must go on more vigorously, more systematically, more per- severingly and with greater intelligence than it ever has since the creation of the world. If every man, woman aud child in America alone, is to have enough to eat and drink, if they are all to be comfortable clothed and housed and if there is to be leisure for study and recreation, if in short, the pinch of poverty is not to be felt by any one in any part of the continent, a great many will have to work very much harder than they do now or some wonder- ful discovery must be made to cause the earth to yield more liberaily without human exertion than it hax ever yet done, and processes must be invented for the pro- duction of articles of comfort and luxury, with asmaller amcunt of manual labor, than is at present deemed possible.

The Archbishop's New Book.
“St. Agnes--Virgin, Martyr,” is the title of a very interesting little work by His Grace Archbishop O’Brien. It is a neat volume of 96 pages, bound in cloth, gilt lettered and sold for 50 cents, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to building St. Agnes’ church in the north- ;ywest suburbs. In the preface His Grace s«ys: **In the preparation of this short account of St. Agnes—Virgm, Martyr, authentic narratives have been carefully consulted. Nothing has been taken second-hand. The glorious example of the lovely maiden who generously gave up all the goods of this world, and her own life as well, rather than offend her God, should excite noble aspirations in every rightly constituted heart. To young girls she is a model for imitation; to all who believe in God and in virtue she is a noble ideal; to devout clients she will be a tender helper on the rough read of life. That she may be widely known, loved and imitated, is the object of this work.” St. Agnes, whose name has been praised and honored for more than fifteen centuries, the author describes as ‘‘a noble ideal of Christian perfection” whose ‘‘glory filled the early church and has come down undiminished to our day. After our Blessed Lady no nobler type of womanhood could be proposed for the women of to-day.— Hx. Herald.

Besten Markets.
May 14, 1887.
Potrators—Supplies are coming a little more freely and extreme prices are not so easily obtained. Houlton Hebrons command 90c per bush, but Rose will not go over S80e, and other varicties rule mostly at 75c to 80c per bush. Market closed dull.
Eccs—There has been a further decline in eggs under the influence of liberal receipts, and 12 cts was the selling rate yesterday for Eastern Extras. Western sold at 12 to 124 cts.
Fisu ~The market sustains a firm tone on mackerel, but the demand is quite moderate and it 1s difficult to sell Nova Scotia No 1 at over $!4, though some holders are asking $14.50 to $15. No 2 are scarce and command $13.50 to $i4. No 3 are nearly all sold out. The second lot of new salted mackerel, 100 bris, was landed vt New York on Thursday and sold at $8 per bri. Several vessels from the Southern fleet arrived with small fares of fresh, but the bulk of the fleet are without fares and the catch is considered a failure.
