Sy sven © foster the > . rin industnes in it ) Commercial, ‘Waar nonsense! Manufacture in P. E. Island. Impossible! We're an agricultural country —an agricultural country ; and our people must live by the produce of the soil. We manufacture.” This argument (7) is teequeutly heard. Those who use it seem to forget that men who till the soil themselves require a variety of manufactured articles on the farm and in the household, and do not consider that it may, perhaps, directly and indirectly, “‘pay better’ to have many of them manufactured here ‘‘on the spot,” than to import them from foreign countries, or even from other parts of our own country. But to consider the *“‘argument” would be mere of time. Let us poivt to a few facts which show that manufac- tories, prudently managed, (there's the rub), do prosper in this Island with edvautage to the material interests of its people. Mr. Beyle’s Leather Factory was estab- lished some thirty years ago, has survived the hard times of all those years, and is now again being enlarged and improved to meet the demands of the leather trade in this Province and in Newfoundland. The City Tannery, under Mr, Me- Kinnon — another practical man — has been, and a flourishing institution, sending leather to the neighboring Prov- inces, aud supplying the local demand. ‘The Esdale Foundry” was established about eleven years ago, by Messrs. Mc- Kinnon & McLean—both practical mea —in an old building at the West End. The buildiogs and machinery in the establishment are now worth some $30,000 or $40,000; the firm employ about forty hands; and make boilers and castings, net only for the Island, but for Nova Scotia aud New Brunswick as well. Hall’s Agricultural Machine Factory at Summerside, under Mr. Hall's prudent and clever management, con- structs machines which give satisfac- tion here and in the neighboring Proy- jnces, Newson’s Furniture Factory continues to flourish; the furviure factory of Compton & Webber at Summerside is doing better every year ; and the practi- cal ability of Mr. Mark Wright will, no doubt, ensure the success of the factory of which he has lately taken charge. The Tryon Woolen Mills have been in operation many years, and, as manag- ed by the Messrs. Reid Brothers, are still growing and fiourishing, goods abroad as well as throughout the Province. The Charlottetown Woolen Factory, under the management of Mr. McKay, has been in operation only two years ; and already its machinery and operatives have dowbled, while its wares are sold, not only in the Island, but also in Hali- fax aud Montreal. Everyone said, when it was started, that Tae Damy Examiner could not live a year; yet it has lived five years, has never failed to pay 100 cents in the dollar, and is in greater request than ever. Messrs. Dorsey & Goff’s Boot and Shoe Factory has received double as many orders as last year, Perhaps it may be a little too soon yet to speak of our Starch Fac- tories aud Cheese Factories; but it is worthy of remark that the Lobster Fac- tories which have been well managed ~—as that of Messrs. Frowse & Son— still hold out, notwithstanding the falling off there has been in both the lobsters and the markets. The Gas Company, under Mr. Murphy's maua.ement, has long done a payiog business. These instances prove that manutac- tures, carefully managed by practical men, are successful in this Province ; and from theze instances we may fairly argue that the like prudence and labor which has wrought success in them would be equally successful in other manufactories suited to the requirements of the Island and the neighboring Provinces, if they were established here. ; That this is primarily an agricultural country is true; but that “no civilized country has been or ever will be pros- perous without a diversity of industrial pursuits’—that ‘‘you might as well ex- pect prosperity for the farmers of a country if they were all to grow but one crop (oats, for instance) as to expect a country engaged in only one industry to be prosperous, even were that industry agriculture,” is also true; and though “our country’’ is fortunately not confined to the limits of this Island, it is for the interest of. this Island that as many varieties of industry as possible should grow up and flourish right here. The worth of manufactures to this province is clear from a consideration of the re- sults sure to follow, should even the few ree we have all at once be closed. t can never loss Is one fell stroke the value of all the property inmediately counected with the manvfactories would be taken away, and the value of all the real estaie in the towns woulll be just as quickly und a’ certain. and selling | aod en- sutacturipg en- wry. But the loss of real estate is not by any aus the only loss which the commun- would sustain were our factories closed. Hundreds of persons would be compelled to leave the Island. Deal- ers of all kinds would lose the profits they make in supplying our artizans with foed, clothing, furniture, luxuries, mater- ials to be manufactured, ete.; and in- stead of having a steady demand at home for a certain quantity of their pro- ducts, our farmers would either be unable to sell all that our artizans now consume —as well for the sustenance of themselves and their families, as for the raw mater- ial manufactured—or be subject to deal- ers in the outside markets, who would purchase it from them at such times and prices as might suit their interest and convenience. Besides this the capital now employed ia sustaining the factories would either lie idle in the Savings Bauk, or be invested in the other banks, or forced abroad to assist in building up and sustaining industries which would be of no use or advantage to us. Seeing then, that manufactures, well managed, do prosper here ; that manufac- tures are a material good to the Pro- vince, raising the value of property, af- fording a market for agricultural produce, and giving profitable employment to capical—ought we not to consider seri- ously how they can be enlarged and extended. The first and easiest way to do this is to encourage those we have. We note with great pleasure that the prejudice of our people in favor of foreign merchan- dise is fading away; and that they now buy more freely articles of home manufacture intrinsically as good though perhaps not quite so nicely finished. But they might, in their own interests, be still more patriotic. Give our own maoufacturers the first chance. if an engine and boiler be wanted for a steamer ora tactory give the practical men engaged here in the manufacture of these articles an opportunity to see the plans and specifications and to offer for their construction ; don’t go abroad and let the contract to men who, perhaps, can “do no better” either as to quality of work or to cost. Show an interest in the woollen factories by endeavoring to improve the wool-producing quality of your sheep; and don’t sell them wool heavy with wet and filth. Don’t cheat the cheese or starch factories: let them have good measure, “running over.” Buy the excellent earthenware, and the first-class soap made in our local earthen- ware and soap factories ; and while you subscribe for some of the best news- papers published abroad, be sure you patronize THe Examiner. Then if you have money, put some of it in the Savings Bank by all means; but if you see an honest practical prudent trades- man ready and willing to establish and superintend a factory suitable to the cir- cumstances of the province, don’t show him “the cold shoulder.” Risk a little. Give him a lift; and get your friends who, also, have a little money to assist in putting him ou his feet. Let the strong (in capital) help those who are weak ; and both will be strengthened ; ‘** for with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Each and all, working in this way, prudently and practically together, will undoubtedly demonstrate that mauufac- tures, of considerable proportions, can exist and flourish in Prince Edward Island. Drowned at Sussex. News of the sad death of Thomas Hackett, son of Edward Hackett, Esq., M. P. for Prince County, reached this city yesterday evening. He was employed as telegraph operator in the Intercolonial Rail- way Station, at Sussex, N. B. Yesterday evening in company with a small boy, he went bathing. Young Hackett could not swim, The river was shallow but con- tained many deep holes. While wading he sank in one of the holes and perished before assistance could reach him. He was nine- teen years of age, a most estimable young man, and his sad death will be mourned by all with whom he was acquainted. To his bereaved parents we tender our sincere sympathy, saat itv — The English Press Webb. on Captain The London Times says concerning the death of Captain Webb:—‘‘It is impossible not to admire Captain Webb’s daring. but the wasting of a valuable life is to be re- gretted.””. The News blames the death upon the men who tempted him to the feat, and upon the authorities who permitted the attempt, saying that he sacrificed his life for an American holiday. The T'elegraph says :—‘‘The Mother Country had good reason to be proud of Webb, but deeply mourns what can only be regarded as a foolish sacrifice.’ The Standard expresses regret at his failure, and seems nettled at his defeat. It hopes Beckwith will re- trieve England’s reputation. ——— o> mee A Durean despatch says that Cetewayo’s son was killed by the insurgents, and another Durban despatch says Cetewayo’s son was not killed by the insurgents. Thus the telegraph leaves the admirers of 'the lad Dabulmanzi in doubt as to his fate eo _ An analysis shows that most of the water of the Nile seems tu be infected with putrid matter to above the cataract. rs (E- .wer, who ~ eitvy Ul Jielrose on July 30th near Port Elizabeth, by a fellow pas- senger named O'Donnell, was not killed outright, but DIED WITHOUT SPEAKING shortly after he was shct. O'Donnell su:- rendered quietly. He was putin irons and sucrendered to the police. When the Mel- rose arrived at Port Elizabeth, Carey was travelling under the name of Power. His family were with him. ‘He embarked on the Kingfawn’s Castle which left Dartmouth on the 6th inst. for Cape Town, where she transferred her paszengers destined to Port Elizabeth, Natal, and other ports, to the steamship Melrose. From Maderia he wrote to the authorities describing the veyage. He said he had shared in conversa- tion in which the Invincibles and the mis- creant Carey were specially denounced. He said he intended to FORGET THAT IRELAND BVER EXISTED. O'Donnell is an Irish-American. He took passage on the same steamer as Carey, and was accompanied from England by his wife, who appeared to be on intimate terms with Carey’s family during the voyage. Third-class berths on the steamer King- fawn’s Castle were secured on June 30th, at the Dublin office, for Port Elizabeth, for a Mr. Power and seven children, which it is well-known, was the exact number of James Carey’s family. On July 2nd, O’- Donnell secured a passage for himself and wife on the same steamer. He denies that he knew who Carey was, previous to his arrival at Cape Town ; but it is believed that he has been dogging Carey over since the latter left Kilmainham jail. It is re- ported that AN INFERNAL MACHINE WAS FOUND in his possession. ‘The Government had taken special and expensive measures to protect Carey. They selected Africa as the safest place for him. It is doubtful whether he knewhis destination before sailing. Jt was not even revealed to the police who took him from Dublin to London. They have little doubt that he was followed from Dublin. They believe the Fenians took most elaborate measures to prevent his escape. The authorities think that O'Donnell was implicated three years ago in an attempt to blow up the Mansion House, and escaped with Coleman to New York. The Times pronounces the death of Carey as a public misfortune. It says he has been the instrument of justice and that the murder is calculated to encourage daring lawless spirits to acts of violence. JOY OVER THE INFORMER'S DEATH. The joy caused in Ireland over the in- former's death is proof that many elements of danger still exist there. The news of Carey’s death caused many exhibitions of delight in Dublin. A large crowd gathered in front of his late residence cheering loudly because the informer wa killed. whhe So In New York Irishmen express the opin- | ion that Carey has richly deserved his death. Leading Irish nationalists claim to be ignorant of any organized effort to follow Carey, although they admit his doom was certain. ee . Summerside Exports.., SumMeERsIpE, Aug 1.
