After his defeat at the general cleo.
tions of March, 1892, his friends ex-
pressed the opinion that he had only
six months to live, but by dint Of
adopting abstem;ous habits OF living
he managed to prolong his life.
RonOre Mercier was born at st.
Athancose. Que, in 1910. He was edu-
Gated at the Jesuit College in Mont
real and began the study Of law. He
was for a time editor of the Courier de
st. Hyacinthe and was admitted to the
bar in 1865. In 1883 Mercier was elect
ed leader of the Quebec Liberals. The
feeling aroused by the execution of
Riel, the leader of the half-breed re-
bellion in tho Northwest, gave him a
great opportunity, and when the cleo
tion OF 1856 came on he organized a
brilliant campaign, which led. to the
defeat of the Conservative Govern.
ment. Mr.. MERCER was summoned to
form a Cabinet on Jan. %. 1887. His
administration was full of exciting in
cidents. AS Premier he was a stanch
champion of French-C Canadians and
their rights. One of the NEST inn
portant acts of his administration was
the settlement of the Jesuit estate
question, by which the Jesuits were
paid q large sum of money, and which
provoked a storm of indignation in the
other provinces. He attracted con
siderable attention on account of his
advocacy of Canadian independence.

FIXING.

The time has come for Mrs. Welloff to purchase Furniture and Carpets.
 Going to the store of MT. Getmuchasican, she prices some acceptable styles. The practiced clerk, presumably measuring the lady's financial ability, proceeds to quote .tob prices. Mrs. w., with full confidence in the fairness of the firm, orders the arti- cles delivered.
 Next day Mrs. Buylow visits the store with a view to purchasing the same arti- cles. Her manner and bear ing prompt the clerk to slide the price scale down a peg. This still being a little more than Mrs. B. can pay, she ventures an offer, and after an assumed reluctance on the part of the clerk, is delighted with his consent to sell, not aware of course that the price 6ottom wasn't touched after l all.
 Now upon that basis it's entirely reasonable to expect that a dozen pieces a day of the same character may be sold to a dozen people at a dozen different pric e S. Which price do you pay How are you to know?
 Doubtless you have con- sidered the store that accepts your offer the best trading place, but ls it? ts it? On the other hand could there be any thing more positively unjust than system (if It can be called a system) of that sort ?
 This miserably contemptl' ble sliding scale" arrange. ment or Encouragement, thi: fixing up and fixing down fixing over and unfxing, al made chiefly contingent upor the supposed paying capacity of the individual who buys Isn't 1t preposterous
 And yet such unfair and unbusiness-like treatment pre-, vails where you would least expect to find it. Our mis. sion is simply to tear off the mask and turn on the light. To be sure, people will find out for themselves in course of time, but such practical lessons ,are very expensive. Next Saturday night we'll consider The Way Out"

THE WAY OUT.

Since our last Saturday evening chat about Fixing" you have doubtless been re- volving the question, How can l escape this imposition of unsettled and unsafe prices We reply, by trading where the o,1e brzee system is practi- cally and faithfully applied,
 Don't all stores change prices? Certainly, but there's q great difference in the man. ner of changing. Under the honest "one price" system, prices, as a rule, are never changed duri n g business hours. Offers from customers are not considered. Rich and poor meet upon exactly the same price platform.
 No discriminations are made between individuals. Necessary changes are effect ed after business hours. If inspection reveals damage, if there is a falling behind fash ion, if there are odd pieces, in short if any commercial req son renders a change in price desirable, cAaxee zt zS.
 There is no other equita- ble way that we know of. Mrs. A. will then require to pay no more than Mrs. B., because of difference in station or judgment. The proposition will not then be, she that has the most the most shall pay, but here are articles at fairly fixed prices. Who ever pays the money gets the articles.
 We take advantage neither of your circumstances nor pos sible ignorance of goods. Values and grades are made consistent, and Carpets and Furniture are sold as Dry Goods are sold.
