this. It therefore follows that it is
the interest of the producer to put
into market only a first class article,
as such an article will always com

better figures than any that could
be expected for an inferior article
Tha majority of purchasers have far
more regard to quality than to
price. This is true not onlv for rich
purchasers, but of all who have the
means to pay and the ability to dis¬
criminate between a superior and .nu
inienor article. A shrewd day la¬
borer never buys a barrel of low
grade ffour, even though it is offer

quality. lie knows that it is
economy to get the oest. Poorbut

wi.l become potent factors in the

to excess any other agency,
A man need only appeal to Ids own
observation and Ins own experience,
it he has at any time drank whisky,
for the truth ot this assertion. This
foolish custom, peculiar to America,
has caused the ruin of thousands-of.
young men who would otherwise
have escaped the dreadful_ conse

Everybod lions is argument feels eoouah. Every

to himself the man will take his
glass of whuky cr beer, and there is
the end of it. Ilut this treating cus
tom holds universal sway, and in
obedience to its behests, lie must ask
his friends to drink with him. Each
of these friends must in turn treat
aU (he rest. The result is all are
made drunk. Destroy the custom
and a tremendous blow is struck at
drunkenness; a mighty impetus is
given to temperance. The custom
is senseless, hurtful and tarries
along with it an endless ti*in of
evils.
It should be stamped ont. These
societies will do much towards ac
complishing they should this end, and therefore
be fostered. Young
