Weak spots cause unevenness under the foot, which is painful to the wearer. When one weak spot wears out the Shoe is doneâ€"one piece of poor material or workman- ship spoils the whole Shoe. So a Shoe, to give the greatest wear, must be comfortable. GGGBYEAR WELTE SttflES are cominrtabie and strong a the hidden parts. It is economical to wear that kind of a Shoe. The SLATER SHOE is Goodyear Welded. It is made by specialists who work on nothing but one kind of Men’s Shoes. Everybody knows that a workman who does. one partic- ular thing all the time does that thing well and quickly. EVery ope ~ation in the making of a Slater Shoe is per- formed by men who do nothing but that identical thing. The “ Slater Shoe,” a specialty, is therefore better, and made with less cost, than common Shoes, made in afactory where all kinds of Shoes are made- The saving in the cost is put into quality material and-Workmanship. The materials used in Slater Shoesâ€"the hidden parts as well as those seenâ€"â€"must be the best obtainable, because the makers stamp their name on the soles and guarantee the workmanship and quality, and they could not afford to do so if the Shoes were not faultless. Because of tnese reasons it Pays to Wear Sater Shoes. Price $3.50 and $5.00. Sold by ‘ J. L. ARNQLE. Fire Insurance Agent, representing the Northern and Imperlal of England.

It is difficult for the Opposition at Ottawa to realize that the Intercolon- ial Railway is at. last a profitable prop. crty. The words “ lntcrcolonial " and “deficit” were so long synonymous, under Conservative control, that mem- bers of that party have not yet learned. to appreciate the expressiveness of the single word, “ surplus.” They smiled in private and sneercd in public when Hon. Mr. Blair, as Minister of Roll- ways and Canals, in 1896, assumed con- trol of the Intercolonial and made the prediction that in Four years’ time the confines of the road could be increased by $800,000. ' But the fact is better than the pre- duction. lle has proved a true prophet. The earnings of the road last year were $870,005 more that 1896, and the sur- plus ou the year’s operations was $62,- 645â€"95000 more than the sum of- all the surpluses in the previous history of the Imercolonial. Moreover, this sur- plus has not been efl‘ected at the expense ut the ctficiency of service. The Inter- colouinl’s mileage has been increased 14 per cent., its rolling stock and road bed have been improved in quantity and cpuality, and its employee have Shared i the general prosperity. All this, while adding to the value of the prop- orty and placing it in the front rank of Canadian railways, has of necessity increased the cost of' maintenance and, has rendered Mr. Blair’s task of“~ build- ing up so immediately a surplus upon a foundation of past deficits all the more difficult. The result is, therefore, the more creditable to his capable and care- ful management. The ex Minister of Railways has, on his side, not proved so true a. prophet. His predicrion, made in 1897, was that if the road were extended to Montreal there would be a deficit of $260,000 a your. Time solves most problems, and it has not been long, in this case, in proving the fallacy of Mr. Haggnrt's short-sighted view. As a matter of fact, the balancc is $62,645 the other way, and the ex-Minister is out in his calcula, tion a little matter of $322,645. He overlooked the fact, that the railway was no longer in the hands of politicians, whose chief motive in its management was party advantage, and who were sat- isfied with deficits in .the public purse so long as private or party political in- terests were servedâ€"Toronto Slur. 0*. The Concentration of Wealth. â€"â€"~ One per cent. of the population of' this country own more than half the. wealth of the nation. Three families in New York city have in their possession wealth enough to build a line of cottages costing $1,000 each around the world. The New York Tribune published a list of 4,097 millionaires with over ten billions of wealth in 1896. They own to-day not less than $12,000,000,000, or one-sixth of the total wealth of the nation. We produce in ayear no less than twenty to twenty-five billions of' dollars in wealth. One fifth of this goes to the wealth producers, two-fifths to capital and two-fifths to idle capitalists. In 1899 the Carnegie Steel Company, with a capital paid in of $20,000,000, The present value of the company is over $200,000,000 The capital Stock of' the Standard Oil Company is :1 little over 597,000,000. A short time ago the regular quarterly dividend was paid. and also a special cash dividend of $17,000,000. The stock of this great trust is quoted at $583 per share, or at a valuation of more than $575,000.000. Seventy families of this country have an average wealth of‘ $40,000,000. Six men in N:w York city absolutely control 60,000 miles of railroads. Fifty families in this nation absolute- ly control the entire commerce of the nation. Two men, Miller and Lux, ol' Culi- For-nia, mvn 14,000,000 acres of land on the Pacific coast. The Astor f'nmily own $600,000.000 worth of real estate in New York city? Mr. Wealth Producer, where do you come in ? The plutocratic class, numbering, ac- cording to Mr. Thomas G. Sherman, 192,090 families, has an average wealth of $238,000, and a total wealth of 343,- 367,000,000. One hundred thousand people own nearly all the land in Great Britain and three-Fourths of all the wealth of that nation. F. G. R. GORDON. 0*. Finnigan ls Oh‘ Again! Wonders never cease. The Scientific American describes a machine that will do the work of section gangs on railroads in leveling and trimming the road-bed and preserving the proper width, level and slope called for by the standard cross section of the road. Or- dinarlly this work is done by hand labor, and it requires some skill to do it correctly, but now the machine in- vented by Mr. Frank Barr, assistant general manages of the Boston do Maine railroad, is throwing the laborers into a panic all along the line. Space pre- vents giving a detailed description of this new colossal labor-displacingr tool. It is only necessary to mention that. a 30â€"mile section was trimmed with the car in four days recently, whereas the same work, if done in the some time by band, would have required the em- ployment ol'375 men." As it was, the force required. in addition to the loco- motive, Consisted of a train crew, :t' foreman and four men. In a word, there is a saving, or displacement, of 85 per cent in cosr oflabor. No douht the auction bands will stand alongside of the trucks for a while and say, “ you can’t do it," but. the fact remains that this new tool will take its place by the slde ot' the mammoth coal and ore dum- pers, sewer diggers, mining and hoisting machinery, etc., in flattening the bumps of egotism nuder'tlle hats of working- men who ignu-ine that the world stands still for their benefit, and stubbornly refuse to understand that the tools of' production are new social tools and should be owned by society collectiv‘oly, instead of' by capitalists for the ex- ploitation of labor. But that would be socialism, and all wurkingmcu who haven’t given the subject an hour’s study know that socialism would be a bad condition.â€"0lcvclund Citizen. ‘0‘. Testimony From New Zealand. You know that in the United States private oivnership tried to construct railways ahead of the population and failed; consequently wiseacres, ignoring everything socialisric, promulgated it that the thing is impossible. Listen to this official testimony, given by the calony’s premier,'in the New Zealand ofiicial yearbook: ' - “Nearly all the public works of New anla'id are in the hands of the govern- mentof the colony. and in the early days they simply kept pace with‘thc spread ol'settlement. In 1870, however, a great impetus was given to the pro- gress ol the whole country by the i-Iau - uratiou of" Public Works and 1mm.- gratiou Policy,’ which provided for Ca.- rying out works in advance of sotth. ment. Railroads, roads, and We“ r- races were constructed, and immigratitn was conducted on a. large scale. As a consequence, the population increasd from 267,000 in 1871 to 501,000 a 1881, and 743,463 at the close of' the year 1868, exclusive of .Maoris."â€"Ap- peal to Reason. 0".
