With its well kejit and spacious grounds it is a uinnunient to their j^'ood taste and lo\e for the l)eautiful ; there is not its e<]ual in the City. The Presbyterians ha\e in New St. Andrew's Cliurch, on tlie corner of Kinf^ and Sinicoe Sts., one of the finest specimens of Norman style architecture in the Western Hemispliere, its entire effect being vividly imposing. Tiie Jarvis Street Baptist Church is undoubtedly the best building of that denomina- tion in the City. It is a beautiful, brown stone structure, designed in the most modern and con\eni- ent style, and situateti on one of the finest residential streets in the City, close to the Horticultural Gar- dens. There are many other churches of remark- able beauty, but want of space makes it impossible to ade(]uately describe them. As a literary and educational centre 'I'oronto's pre-emi- nence is admitted on every hand. At the head of her insti- tutions of learning stands the national and far-famed Uni- versity of Toronto, w i t h w h ic li ,1 re affiliated \,irious colleges, medical and otherwise. Her stately pile, elected after the Norman style of aichilec- ture, conunands the admiration of tour- ists from every clime : a recent dis- tinguished ICnglish traveller pronouncing it " the only piece of coilegi- atf; architectuie on the American continent, and v.'orthy of standing room in the streets of Oxford." There are also Trinity University (Anglican), having in afliliation St. Hilda's College for lady art students, etc.; St. Michac^l's (Roman (Catholic), conducted by the basilian Fathers, and which is acknowledged by all to be one of the best colleges to-day in the Province; Victoria College (Methodist), a grand and imposing structure, and well worthy of such a strong ;ind influential body; Knox College (Presbyterian), MiMaster ('ollege (liaptist), Wyclille (l'",piscop,il). Upper Canada College — "the Canadian ICton," the Normal School, besides numerous ()ublic schools, con\ents, colleges of music. College of Pharmacy, College of Xeteriii.iry Surgery ; the School of Prac- tical Science, in ccjiinection with the University, its aim being, like that of Coknnbia College or the I^oston School of Technology, to train not alone y()Ung men's minds, but also in the arts necessary to the mechanic — a need felt very much in these days. Among Toronto's most prominent business streets may be mentioned Front, lisplanade, Vonge, King, Queen, Church, Pay, Scott, Toronto, Adelaide and Richmond, with their niassi\e and im|)osing build- ings, wherein , ire carried on all kinds of manufactures, banking, insurance, wholesale and retail business of every description. A visitor passing through .my of those streets at any lime of day, and seeing tiie throngs of people hurrying to and fro, would think that there was a constant holiday, so vast is the concourse of men and women on business. Among her most beautifu' residenti;il streets are the fol- lowing : J a r \- i s , Sherbourne, St. George, Hioor, Col- lege, Church, Carl- ton, Gerrard and W'ellesley streets, Spadina avenue, Wilton Crescent, Rose a\enue, and numerous others, with their well kept lawns .and spacious '^ grounds, are not surpassed, and but rarely ecpialled on the continent.

CHICAGO office: 347 DEARBORN ST. 12 'I'oronto can justly lay claim to some of the most handsome and imposing public buildings in the Do- minion. Deserving of foremost mention are the new Legislative liniidings of the Province of Ontario, situated at the southern end of the (,)ueen's Park, presenting a \ ery striking appearance from every point of view. In arciiitectiual design the pile is Romanescpie, the carved surface of Credit Valley stone, following the Celtic and Indo-Germanic schools ; it took six years to complete the structure, which cost $1,250,000. The new Court I louse and County buildings, in course of erection, are situated on (,_)ueen St. West, near \'onge St., the dimensions of which are 300 feet square. The main building will be five stories high, with centre and corner bays seven stories, in addition to which tiiere will be a tower 300 feet in heigiit. When this massive and dignified building is completed, Toronto m a y justly 1 a y claim to iia\ing the lines t Temple of Justice, not only in the Dominion, but in America. The Confederation Life .\ s s u r a nee Co. building, with its stately towers, is a notable addition to the fme structures of Toronto, and woidd grace the lin- est streets in the world, the whole covering a space of 21,500 S(]uare feet, being seven stories above tiu' ground level. In the new building of the I'reeiiold Loan and Savings Co., Toronto has secured a very handsome and im posing structure, complete with all modern conveni- ences, suitable for a large business. Other buildings Worthy of note we have not room to describe adccpiately are those of the Canada Life Company, King St. West; the Canadian Hank of Commerce, King St. West, cor. of Jordan St. ; Dominion Hank, Yonge and King Sts. ; Bank of Montreal, Vonge and Front Sts. ; Bank of Toronto, Church and Welling- ton Sts. ; Custom House, Yonge, Front and b-s- planade Sts. ; Mail Building, Hay and King Sts. ; Globe Building, cor. Melinda and Yonge Sts. ; Os- goode Hall, the seat of the Provincial Law Courts, AT MOUNT I'LKASANT CE.MliTICR V. Queen St. West, head of York St., being named after the late Hon. Wm. O.sgoode, the Chief Justice of Upper Canad.i, the building costing about $300,030, aiul stands in some si.\ acres of ornamental grounds ; Massey Music Hall, cor. Victoria antl Shuter Sts.; Grand Opera House, Adelaide St. West ; Toronto General Hospital, Gerrard St. East ; General Post Office, Adelaide St. East ; Quebec Bank, King and Toronto Sts. ; the Young Men's Christian .Vssocia- tion, Yonge St ; also numerous other large business and manufacturing buildings which merit i)ut cannot receive mention here. Toronto justly prides herself on her several beau- tiful parks and summer resorts, among which may be mentioned the Queen's Park (situated north-west of Yonge and College Sts.), in which are placed two of the many cannon captured from the Russians during the Crimean war, by the allied armies of Great Britain and France. These guns were taken at the ever memorable siege of Sebastopol, after a desperate and bloody struggle. Here also is erected the statue of the late Hon. George Brown, one of the most eminent of our public men a n d leailing journalists of the Dominion, together with a monument to those brave men who lost their lives at the battle of Ridgeway, 1.S66. Riverdale Park, immediately adjacent to the Ne- cropolis, is situated on the banks of the Don, where large numbers congregate every evening during the summer months ; High Park, to the extreme west of the C^ity limits, is on the north side of Queen St. — a delightful placL! during the summer and fall ; Reser- voir Park is in the northern part of the City, and embraces a ravine, making it even in the warmest weather a cool and refreshing spot, such as those dwelling in its vicinity take advantage of in great numbers; Bellvvoods, in the north-west, is situated so that the citizens can have a refreshing and pleas- ant hour uninterrupted by the noise of cars and other traffic ; the Horticultural Gardens are beauti- 13 w ^^ NTO oiTfofto^S^ Fine Book Papers For fine book work of every description, catalogues and illustrations, our No. i Litho.

As there are a number of band concerts f(iven there during the Hunnuer months, this pleasant resort is taken advan- tage of by a large number of the citizens. There are also Denison Park, on Denison, between Augusta and Believuf! ; Clarence Scjuare, corner Spadina and Wellington ; the Lacrosse Grounds, in Rosedale ; Riverside, east side Humlier River: Kew Ciardens, south side Queen St. East, City limits, and Stanley Park, Wellington Ave. A trip to the Island in Toronto Bay, opposite the City, will repay the visitor ; at the west point will be found the hotel and home of the world-renowned and famous oarsman, Edward Hanlan. The portion named Centre Island, with its inviting park, posses- ses many attractions; there may be seen daily private and public picnic parties, and many other amuse- ments, such as lacrosse, baseball, foot races, lawn tennis, boat racing, merry-go-rounds, etc. Large and commodious boats ply every few minutes be- tween the different points in the City and Island. About one hour's sail to the west brings us to the beautiful park at Long Branch ; slightly further to the west is Lome Park. Both are considered to be splendidly adapted as summer resorts and are liber- ally patronized. A sail across the lake of about two . hours brings us to the old and memorable village of Niagara, which about 1788 was the seat of govern- ment and headquarters of the military in those days. A short trip thence on the electric railway brings us to the Monument of General Brock, on Queenston Heights. Further on we come to one of the greatest marvels of the age, the far-famed and world-renowned Niagara Falls, with its roar like the sound of distant thunder ; the visitor becomes awe-stiicken with amazement and wonder when he gazes upon the mighty volume of water as it comes rushing down with irresistible force, carrying everything be'ore it over the falls, down the Niagara River, and out to the vast waters of Lake Ontario. The first railway to enter Toronto was the North- ern, being partially built in 1853 ami completed in 1855, in which year connection was made between Toronto and Hamilton by the Great Western Rail- way. About this time, also, the Grand Trunk Rail- way was built between Montreal and Sarnia, thus providing rapid means of transit to Toronto from the northeast and west. Later a number of smaller railways were built, and finally the greatest Canadian achievement of an industrial kind, the Canadian Pacific Railway, extending from ocean to ocean, was completed. Later, nearly all the smaller roads fell into the hands of the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific Railways, making them two of the greatest systems of railway on the continent of America. In lake shipping Toronto has rare facilities, being supplied with a first-class service to all points south, east and west. Of manufacturing industries Toronto can justly lay claim to a goodly share. In the manuf.icture of agricultural implements the Massey-Harris Co. have here laree and extensive works, equal to any in Am erica. Here also is one of the largest tin and s amp- ing works in Canada. Stove foundries, furniture shops, rolling mills, boiler shops, engine and other machinery works and manufactories are situated here, able to compete with any in America. In the business portion of the City, turn where you may, the name of some insurance company will strike the eye. The older and most reliable com- panies of the United States and Great Britain do a most extensive business here, notwithstanding that the City is well furnished with home companies whose capital is supplied by her own citizens, who carry on their business in a sound, economical, and thoroughly business-like manner. Among the home institutions may be mentioned the Confederation I^ife, the Canada Life, the- British America Assur- ance Co., the North American Life, the Manufactur- ers' Life, the Western Assurance Company and several others. Toronto is well supplied with banks; her financial institutions possess a wide reputation for the emin- ently sound and safe principles on which their busi- ness is conducted ; prominent among them are the Bank of Montreal, with a paid-up capital of $12,- 000,000 ; the Canadian Bank of Commerce, with a capital of $6,000,000, all paid-up, and b:anches in the different parts of the City (or the convenience of their customers; the Dominion Bank, with a solid paid-up capital and rest, having branches scattered in the different business sections of the City, to the very great advantage of their numerous customers ; the Bank of Toronto, one of the strongest institu- tions ; Molsons, Traders, Ontario, and Imperial Banks, with paid-iq) capitals of from $1,000,000 to $12,000,000 each. Toronto has been called the City of Conventions, and truly the title is not ill deserved. Among the most notable of the gatherings within her borders was the occasion on which the Knights of Pythias visited the City, in June, 1886. This, we have been " »5 -p o z Q H Z D o u z < y z O H Z O a: O o OS .» H u u g a. h O uj I H 1 i < a. *^ O u . o o 1 I I I assured, was tin- " l)ii,'f,'L'St tliiiif,' " of the kind ever known in Cuiada. There were over 25,000 uni- formed Kiiif,'iits in tlie parade, with their plumes, their swords, their glittering; appointments and jewels.

There were over 25,00?) uni- formed Knif,'hts ill tlie parade, with their plumes, their swords, tlieir ^litterinj,' appointments and jewels. They came from all over the (ireat Repub- lic, and we may be sure that there was a j^ood repre- sentation of the 1,500 Kniffhts of Pythias in Canada. They broufjht their bands, their ref,'iiueiital or com- pany pets ; they br()u;,'ht their wives, sweethearts and friends. .V whole train load came from Florida, and we believe it was they who carried with them a j)et allif,'ator. Then those from the I"ar-\\'est, Cali- fornia and Oregon travelled in their own c.irs, which were decorated with sheaves of wheat and branches of trees. And they brought their ovvn bands to the number of some dozens. So numerous were the visitors on that occasion that (juarters had to be pro- vided for about 2,000 in the Exhibition l-{uildings. Chicago alone sent a vast number of men in uniform, and Pennsyhania, as a State, seemed to excel all others in the number she sent. The uniformed divisions drilled for prizes in addition to various par- ades, and the town was in a ferment over them. The Supreme Lodge of the World, K. of P., were holding their meeting in Toronto at the same time, 300 to 400 strong. Some two years afterward, namely, in the summer or autunm of 1888, a visit was paid to Toronto by the 20th Grand Division of the Order of Railway Conductors of America. They were a fine- looking body of men, well-oflicered and well-man- nered. No wonder they are well-mannered, indeed, for a railway conductor is in a school of manners all his time. He is forever being taught patience and self-control, and has often to remember that " a soft answer turneth away wrath." The visitors of the Division numbered 365, and their head officer was Mr. C. E. Wheaton, Grand Chief Conductor. A man who saw some scores of them coming and going at Hruce's rooms on King Street — where they were all photographed — said they were about the finest looking lot of men that ever came under his notice. In June, 1892, the City was honored with the coinen- tion of Roman Catholic Union Knights of St. John, when there were about g,ooo Knights here to do honor to the occasion, taxing the acconmiodation of the hotels and other resorts to their utmost capacity. The chief feature of this convention was the hearty and cordial welcome extended them by the .Mayor and citizens upon their first visit to the City of Con- ventions. The parade of the fire brigade in their honor, the grand procession and fancy drill (on the baseball grounds), which was participated in by over 1,500 Knights with their handsome uniforms, the fancy drill evolutions, and the performances of the splendid bands, presented a striking and imposing spectacle which was viewed by thousands upon thousands of citizens. The onlookers gave the Knights a warm and hearty reception, even the ele- ments conspiring with the citizens to make warm the welcome to the handsome strangers. Among the more recent of the larger conventions held in our fair City was that of the Sons of Eng- land, which was held in March last, in the Audito- rium, on (,)ueen St. West, lasting over a period of four days, being one of the most successful and largely attended conventions ever held by that pow- erful body, there being over 300 delegates in attend- ance. The convention was brought to a close by one of the most numerously attended and costliest baiKjuets ever held in the City, tendered by the local lodges to their visiting brethren, in the Horticultural Gardens Pavilion, it being very handsomely and tastefully decorated for the occasion with a large number of flags and bunting of many shades and hues. The platform and tables were literally cov- ered with rich and rare flowers, making a grand and imposing sight, and one never to be forgotten. The large Pavilion was crowded upon this occasion ; everything passed off most pleasantly, reflecting great credit upon those having the arrangements in charge. If the realizations of the past can afford any anticipations of the possibilities, nay probabilities, of the future, what greatness there is in store for this beautiful City of Toronto generations yet un- born alone will be able to tell. 17 If ^ ^ ^fe=^ QolKvltl NTlIo t^ f OR^H Tlie oldest and most reliable linn of Printers' Rollers Mamit'actiirers in the citv ....

Ill'-N on tlie eifjhth of October, 1889, ;i few iepresentati\e pressmen met in New York to talk oxer the posi- tion and prospects of their branch of the printinfj; trade, they little dreamed of the astoiindinj^ success that was in store for the organization of which they at that time laid the foundation. When next they met, in Boston, the following,' year, their numbers were increased, and the foundations of the fraternal structure were strengthened and broadened. Here, too, was laid the basis of our greatest and noblest reliance — our cham- pion, guide, coun- sellor, expositor, and teacher — Tlw Amer- ican Pressman, by whose priceless aid the gospel of I. P. P. U.-ism has been matchlessly and ir- resistibly preached, and without which our organization could never have reached the point of enthusiastic perma- nent acceptance it holds to-day. The thirtl year a westward move of the Convention was made, to Detroit. This was producti\e of good results — so nuich so that it w.is decided to go still further west the fol- lowing year (i8y2), to St, Louis. This brought out a further increase in the number of representatives. The next session was held at Cincinnati, and it eclipseil all previous meetings of printing pressmen that had ever been held in the history of the trade. Very much credit is due to No. 11 for the (ine sou- venir they issued, for that also was in every way THHO. V. GAI.OSKOVVSKV I'resideni l.I'.P.l'. superior to all other efforts of the kind. It was very properly and truly said at the time: "So long as pressmen of the I. P. P. U. are capable of perform- ing such work, they must conuuand success." At Cincinnati Convention, as at its predecessors, the laws governing the pressroom were in many ways improved. The success of The American Presswr.i as the exponent of the principles of the I. P. P. U., and the guide and technical instructor of the craft at large, was assured, thus gi\ing the journ.il, of which v.e have all learned to be justly proud, a guaranteed circu- lation. From every side of our inter- national organiza- tion, but one, this action met with un- bounded approval ; and if ever the end justified the means it has been this, as the wonderful growth of our bene- ficently practical or- ganization during the past year has proven. The action of the Cincinnati Con\en- tion in relation to Tlie A merican Press ■ man has been a thorn in the side of all those who op- pose the growth of our international body ; and m any have been the eflbrts to disturb the minds of subordinate un- ions in connection therewith, but with- out success. The debt of gratitude which we owe to Editor Munro for his un.selfish and hitherto unpaid labors is beyond any words of mine toe.xpress. Never in the history of trade journalism has such brilliant, able, shrewd and utterly unselfish literary work been performed. Our editor's eyes have been everywhere, and his fearless and thoroughly informed pen has done its work, not alone in articles, but in numerous 21 THE SCOTTISH PRINTING INK FACTORY A. B. Fleming & Co.

I • I I ■ 32 T letters, witli a siireness and delicacy that hit the mark every time and called forth unbounded admir- ation. I am sure there is not to-day ;in I. P. P. U. man who can dispute these statements. The last, or nearly the last, act of the delegates was to select Toronto, Can.ida, as the place in which to hold the Convention of 1894, in preference to any of the aspirinf,' cities of the United States, of which there were many. I was glad of this choice, show- ing as it did the existence of the genuine international GEORGli SOMMl-.KS 1st Vice-President I. P. P. U. feeling for which the I. P. P. U. was organized to cultivate. It gives the representatives of the various unions under the stars and stripes of the United States an opportunity to meet their Canadian breth- ren on their nati\e soil, to cement still closer the fraternal tie and to partake of genuine Canadian hospitality. As month after monHi rolls by, our beloved organ- ization is steadily living down the slanders and mis- representations that the oflficials of the International Typographical Union have almost every where spread abroad. These slanders grow more and more infre- (juent, as the painful truth works its way into the I. T. U. minds that they are only helping us and hurting themselves. They begin to realize the folly of trying to force a representative body like the I. P. P. U. back into a subserv lent position to the compnsi- torial branch of the trade. And the wonder is that the compositors, who will before long need the help of the pressmen, should continue to permit the Presi- dent of the so-calleil autonomous branch of the I. T. U., who really commands only a corporal's guard, to continue his futile attempts to keep the I. P. P. U. out of the place to which it is entitled by natural rights to hold amongst organized toilers. The strenu- ous efforts of this gentleman to pre\ent the few remaining pressmen who still owe allegiance to the I. T. U. from going where they belong, with the rest of their brethren already in the I. P. P. U., are extremely amusing. They have ceased to be irritat- ing. This autonomous President has scored the I. P. P. U. for not accepting the proposition of his com- mittee, presented at the last I. P. P. U. Convention — that of becoming an autonomous branch of the I. T. U., or, as he stated it, if the lines laid down by his committee involved the loss of our identity as pressmen's unions — which he knew right well would be the case— we "should have submitted a counter proposition on lines more agieeable to our view." We have no counter proposition to submit, other than that distinctly made last year, wherein we declared our willingness to accept all pressmen and pressmen's unions into our ranks. In making this counter proposition, we knew that we could ofTer them better protection than was possible in any other organization. This proposition was really offered at Detroit, and was ratified and reiterated at Cincinnati. The I. T. U. has tried to show that the I. P. P. U. is controlled by only a few minds; but any unpre- judiced person at all acquainted with the history and workings of these two bodies knows that such is not r ; -^■^5?''^^«^i i.-.. V. M. YOUNGS and Vice-President I. F. P. U. the case, but that on the contrary it is the I. T. U. that is governed by an almost secret organization, known as the Brotherhood, who work their schemes behind the scenes, without any but a selfish regard to the opinions of the mass of the membership of the I. T. U. It is a shameful history, and will be written some day. n i SPECIAL ATTENTION TO MAIL ORDERS WE DEAL WITH THE TRADE ONLY HlUbolesale Stationers m ^^RISTOL "IBOARD Cart) Boavb anb Ipulp Boavbs All Sizes and Weights '€nO€{ope4 ' '€n6e{op€6 Price Llsls and Samples mailad an appllcallan, Paper and Envelope Manufacturers Warehouse and Envelope Factory, 29 Wellington St. West, Toronto /. .

It showed to the entire labor world what a oneness of mind really exists among the members of the 1. P. P. U. in regard to our ever again placing ourselves under any kind of control of the I. T. U. J. J. KICNNEDV 3rd Vice-President I.I'.P.IJ. After the I. P. P. U. had organized, it extended the hand of fellowship to the I. T. U., but the latter body rejected our fraternal overtures. At its next following convention the I. T. U. went out of its way to declare us " unfair," and not until last year, at Chicago, was that stigmatic action rescinded, through the efforts of one of the delegates of Col- umbia Typographical Union, of Washington, D. C, who with other honorable compositors knew that the members of the I. P. P. U. were the " fairest " and most honorable pressmen to be found anywhere, and had more than once pro\ed themselves so towards even their enemies. It was at Chicago last year that the action was taken which offered us that " autonomous branch." There is not the slightest reason for the I. P. P. U. becoming a " branch " "f any kind. What is the cause of this change of heart in the I. T. U. ? — this branch "offering"? Is it because we are weaker than we were, and about to disband, as so many instructed speakers of the I. T. U. have falsely asserted ? No ; but simply and positively because we hold the key to the entire situation to-day, and would be in the future, as we had been in the past, a powerful weapon in the hands of the I. T. U. officials. While there is an invincible determination on the part of the pressmen to retain their independ- ence in every sense that the term implies, and to have and maintain a separate and distinct organiza- tion, subject to no laws other than those made by pressmen themselves in convention assembled for such purpose, they believe that " in union there is strength " ; and they would therefore willingly affili- ate or act with the typesetters under conditions. But this cannot under any circumstances be done with local uuions, as the I. T. II. have in several cases insidiously tried to do. Pressmen should hold them- .selves invariably aloof from local unions subordinate to the I. T. U., and to continue to do so until there is complete and unreserved recognition between the International. Because most of the local unions of International Printing Pressmen have taken this con- sistent stand, we are accused as wanting war, and have been repeatedly declared hostile to the I. T. U. In making this statement the I. T. U. stands accused, by the historical record, of falsehood, inasnmch as we have repeatedly assisted its subordinate unions in the time of trouble ; while on its side it has failed, or its local imions have failed, time and again, to stand by the pressmen who are in its own organization, even since the organization of the I. P. P. U. No wonder that pressmen Want to get where they know they wilt be protected. JAMES GELSON Sec'y-Treas. I. P. P. U. If the I. T. U. considers the action of the I. P. P. U. in defending its members from unwarranted attack as hostile, they are at liberty to do so. History accuses that body of most dishonorable hos- tility, as well as of neglect of the men within its own ranks. It should be silent on such a score. 25 I SBES The Toronto Hail ha 6ii rqcsl rculaiioi") t:n noted \ov 'Want" Rd\ierUsetn6T\\.s Eus\ivess Cb.aTices, e\-c. |a)csl class ol feipculalior) R GirG\i\'aUoi\ in \.\\e Y\oiT\es ol \.lie people wYio ua^vie MoYvey to buy « ■ • ■ -^: ||7T!iTnr III THE" MAIL ....

I •; Now that nearly five years have passed since we were under the domination of the I. T. U., a few would, if left to their own thou),'lits, cultivate the feeling,' of the child that has gone out from an unpleasant home and found more agreeable ijuarters, and, thinking of childhood's hours and hearing no longer ;he harsh tones of an ill-tempered mother, nor feeling the blows of a drunken father, would forget the ill-treatment and only think of the few acts of kindness, if any such could be found, that were by chance bestowed, and would be willing to return. But when once back in the old home, with the door closed and the key turned in the lyck, he finds things even worse than in early life, because he has had a taste of juster treatment — then he realizes the blun- der he made in returning. So would it be with one or two members of the I. P. P. U. who, since our last con\ention, have tjuestioned the action of the delegates in regard to an alliance with the I. T. U. Had the " autonomous " proposition been accep- ted, or any part thereof, by the delegates of 1893, we would have fell the rod long before this time. No, fellow-craftsmen ! Return not to the home where you were ne\er accorded fair treatment ; nor allow yourselves to be led into any trap to become an autonomous or any other kind of a " branch " of the I. T. IJ. Stand out for separate and absolute auton- omy, and do not even consider anything less, or you will surely regret it. If the I. T. U. does not eliminate from its consti- tution the clause "as only having the right to issue charters to pressmen," and persists in refusing to recognize the I. P. P. U. as a separate and distinct international body, and the only one ha\'ing the right to issue charters to printing pressmen throughout North America, then stand away from it, as it means nothing for mutual interests. It is all self. Do not let it get you into its power again, for you had too hard a struggle to get out of it. Now that you stand on the pinnacle of assured success, hold your ground till your enemies come to the conclusion that you are fully able to legislate for yourselves, and that where mutual interests are in\olved you must have an equal voice. And now, while we are waiting for this final act of the I. T. U., let us continue to do as we have done : assist them in all honorable movements to better their condition and to retain their standing wherever employers who forget themselves and their true interests, seek to grind them down unju.stly. This is true trade unionism. Though the I. T. U. has not thus far shown its appreciation of such honorable conduct, the time nuist come when better thougiits shall guide it ; and when it shall sfjuarely recognize the I. P. P. U. as " the only pressmen's organization throughout North America." Wa can look back and trutiifully say that despite the opposition and ingrati- tude it has met, the I. P. P. U. has never lieen guilty of an "unfair" action. And should the I. T. U. never admit our rights to control e.xclusively the pressmen's branch of the printing industry, it will little matter ; for before long they will have no press- men left under their jurisdiction, and the I. T. U. will then have become the laughing-stock of the trade, as pretending to legislate for and control men who no longer belong to it ! .\dd to this the vital loss of help and sympathy from a powerful organization that it might have bound to it with hooks of steel. The guilt of the pressmen lies in refusing to allow men to legislate for them or to control them who do not understand their needs, md who have been proved nund)erless times unwilling to do them the scantiest justice. To all subordinate unior the I. P. P. U. I say, in the most serious warnin,, -iend only true and tried I.P. P. U. men to represent you at your con- vention, and see that the laws they make are rigidly e.xecuted, and your union will command the respect of organized capital as well as organized labor. Theo. F.

The paper mill of the Toronto Paper Company at Cornwall is a modern writing paper mill, being fitted with all the necessary machinery, bleaching vats, etc., to work linen and cotton rags with the best results. This mill was erected for the puipose of making paper not then made in any CanaH-'n mill ; its output is six tons per day, and is sold from Halifax to Vancouver, mostly through the wholesale stationery trade. It is on the Cornwall Canal, but pumps its clear water from the St. Lawrence, the only pure, bright wa*^er in Canada. This enables the Company to turn out paper in quality and color equal to that made at the best and most favorably situated Scotch mills. The range in quality runs from super-finished book and plate papers up to type- writer and linen ledger papers. ?9 Um m * ■5^^^ ^^^^^^^ ,ot Empire m T^oroi^io T;\A.e best a(i"\ier\.\sii\g, inedwini m tYie Doii\ir\ioi\ THE LEADING CONSERVATIVE DAILY IN CANADA CIRCULATION EXTENDS rHOM OCEAN TO OCEAN ■t ^V" ■ ■ ■ "• ■ "■ ' [4 ^1 - I !■* G rosvenor |! ouse i H FRANK WIHMI'K, Proprietor v« }j Cor. 49 U 493 Yo"&e St. 11 Alexandrr Stieel VonKe Street Curs from I'nioii and North Toronto Stiitloiis pass tlic door Terms $1.50 and $2 per day I ^ yjv yi>V|> *+■« «i« ir'^y yi> ;''f ;«|> ;<^i> ajv /'i'* y|> ^'iv y|y '\ Tlie House lias been newly built, and is tliorounhly equipped in all modern appliances and furnished complete throughout, and every attention given to the comfort of guests in every department ....

For many moons the eyes of pressmandom were turned toward Chicago as the grand key position of the war for deliverance. The majority of the press- men there had been long desirous of se\ering their official connection with and subjection to the Typo- graphicals ; but the full battery of I. T. U. persuasion and cajolery was turned upon this restive union, which the comps. had dubbed "Wayward No. 3 ;" and by dint of unusual indulgence and misstatement the inevitable separation was for a time postponed. At last the issue was brought sharply to the front, and on the night of March 11, 1894, a vote was reached which resulted in a decision, by ninety votes to twenty, to surrender the I. T. U. chirler. At the next meeting a unanimous vote decided that the Chicago Pressmen's Union l^o. 3 should pass from the jurisdiction of the 1. T. U. to that of the Inter- national Printing Pressmen's Union, where they all admitted they rightfully belonged. Thus the greatest of all the I. P. P. U. victories was won. Chicago was the Gettysburg of the Pressmen's war i)f salvation. The capitulation of every remain- ing fort is now merely a (juestion of a little while. We know not if the I. T. U. will decide to send a committee to the Sixth Annual Convention of the I. P. P. U. at Toronto, with another olive branch. Should they do so, we trust it will be a real one. Further, we would advise them to have the embassy headed by another than Mr. Henry C. McFarland. That gentleman has made himself so odious to print- ing pressmen as to jeopardize the acceptance of any olive branch entrusted to his hands. He is persona uon grata to the I. P. P. U. As the delegates assemble in the beautiful city of Toronto — the home of my boyhood — to celebrate these victories and to ensure their permanence by the enactment of wise and kindly laws, let us not forget the brave men who have stood in the breach and borne the brunt of the fray. Honor to both rank and file ! Their faith in their cause has been grandly justified. They can now sit down to a feast that is indeed a feast of reason and a flow of soul. They have the logic of events on their side. "^j ;P^ ^i^P^ CAXTON'S PRINTING PRESS— 1477. MOTHFiR of Liberty ! Crude, cumbrous, slow.

M, Ml'NKO, lulilor " A lilt ncilii I'icssKaii:' l\CE tlie pressmen of North America stepped out from under the assumed tutelage of the International Typo- (,fraphic;il Union— now nearly five yeurs aj,'i) a marked chanj^e has taken place among them : a change for the better, from e\ery point of view. They haxc liecome vital factors in the trade wherein they had been so h ng considered as insignificant units. V>y forming themseKes into a distinct, homo- geneous body, they have opened the door to a world of possibilities, .some of which they are only beginning to see today. First among the happy results has been the raising of the standard of workmanship. There are more thoroughly skilled pressmen in America to-day than were possible imder the conditions that exisied five years ago. In taking vigorous hold of their own .ifTairs, their attention has been directed to many things which had previously escaped them. They have enacted laws for self-governnien; and for the government of their branch of the printing trade, which have been of immediate benefit not only to themselves, but also to their employers. They have elevated craftsmanship to the dignity of high art and high manhood, and have brought many of their fellow-workers to a better appreciation of their duties to that art and to each other. In their official journal — The American I'ressmaii — they have instituted what may be termed an open school for instruction in the mysteries of their craft. For this they deserve the highest honor, as in so doing they have made a noble departure from the old selfish system that sought to keep the secrets of pressmandom sealed from all save those who could travel a royal road. They are thus working along the lines of genuine brotherliness, and are already receiving their reward in the growth of a new race of pressmen who do themselves and their teachers honor, and will prove worthy successors. They have also set the feeders on a more honor- able and respectable plane than they had ever before occupied. By encouraging the formation of Feed- ers' Unions and the discussion therein of subjects whose avowed purpose is material and moral eleva- tion, they have laid the foundation for a system that shall supply the trade with properly trained and worthy pressmen, to take the places of those now on the stage, when they shall die or go into retirement. Any one at all familiar with the history of our art will bear us out in the assertion that ,\merican prcsswork and .\merican presses and type have revolutionized the printing world. Let us not be misunderstood as meaning that there was no good printing before the International Printing Press- men's Union of North America came into existence. Nothing of the kind. But we do claim, without danger of refutation, that the entire spiiit of press- mandom has been quickened, since th.;t event, into an activity of research for hidden things — a joyous activity, the like of which the trade has never before known. The American pressman is cultivat- ing the psychological side of his brain, too, and as I had occasion some time ago to remark, " sees more in a press than mere masses of iron set in motion by a shaft and a pulley." Who can foresee the effect of all this quickening of the spirit ? What will the harvest be ? A glori- ous one, be sure, for all concerned, whether at the press or in the counting house. Already employers show everywhere an increased respect for the men of the pressroom, and even the long disesteemed feeder rises to better consideration, as his employer observes the change that is taking place in his atten- tion to his business. In the feeder is now seen the embryo pressman, with all his possibilities. That is what the Feeders' Union is doing for him : increas- ing his own self-respect and stirring his ambition to be something more than a lifter and shover of paper ; showing him the while how t \ get himself ready for an upward move when the time is ripe. The feeder of the present is the pressman of the future. " Once a feeder always a feeder" is never true, save of a dullard and a slouch. The advent of colored half-tones increases the demand about to be made upon our pressmen for additional skill. The time is close upon us when we must move to heights long deemed impossible of attainment. The production of color plates by pho- tography marks a departure fully as important as that which gave us the black half-tones. How many pressmen are getting ready for it ? How many of them are experts with colors ? — know their quali- ties and possible ' ' .nbinations, and are able to mix them to obtain any color or tone desired ? Get at it, brethren. Study the simples and their mixtures ; also their efTecIs on different kinds of stock. You cannot begin too early. When the rush comes it will be a tidal wave.

The Georgetown Paper Mills, owned and operated by Win. Barber & Bros., is one of the best of the old Canadian mills. Times and circumstances change in the paper trade as with other branches of manufacture, and this house has always been up to the times in every respect. Their policy has always been to live and let live, and when the market became too full of any line of paper, to start up the making of new goods not heretofore made in the country. By adopting this policy the mill has always been kept going to its full capacity, to the benefit of both buyer and seller. The mill is largely run on colored papers and specialties, but turns out the best and cheapest sample of machine-finished book paper on the market. These book papers are in great demand where half-tone cuts are used. Don'ts.

NION is power. Coals burn brighter when gathered into heaps. Threads multiplied form the strongest cables. A drop of water is weak and power- less, iiut an innumerable number of drops will form a stream, and many streams combined will form a river, until rivers pour their water into the mighty ocean. The need of unity is as great tiow as at any former period in the annals of the past, and there will never come a time when union will not be the talismanic word for all who would promote the spread of anything that is good. But there is a common bond of union which should bring all laborers together, even if there were no foes to face, no fears to dread. There is one com- mon attraction drawing them to one another that rises superior to party prejudice, or sectarian influen- ces, and makes them as one family There is a unity arising from similarity of past experience. In the retrospect of the past there rises up the recollection of hours of conviction in which the toiler, laboring under a sense of injustice, has found that his only worldly hope came from the consciousness that there was a fold, yes, a union among his fellows whose motto was Justice, and whose watchword was hos- tility to all forms of oppression. This should certainly bind all laborers together, just as the shipwrecked, when safely landed, feel a bond of union uniting theni by the strong links of similar experience. As soldiers from the same battlefield love to gather in groups and talk their conflicts o'er, so do those who are convinced of the desirableness of unity, rejoice in the opportunity afforded in a com- mon interest to celebrate their escape from at least some of the evils of life. Unity of the toiler is desirable because of the sympathy that must result tiierefrom. Life is not made up of joy. It has also its conflicts and sor- rows. And it is in time of distress that we most need sympathy, and how the heart of the toiler must rejoice when some zealous friend introduces him to a company of other toilers, who throw around him the cord of sympathy, and bind him to those whose footing is on firmest ground. Sad indeed must be the state of that individual who finds himself, through the fruits of his own negligence and wilfulness, without the pale of sympathy. To feel that no one cares for us is a most dangerous feeling ; it is the fruitful source of recklessness, despair and suicide I But unity among laborers is desirable from the similarity of common sentiments. There is no truer proverb than that " a man is known by the company he keeps." Like seeks like. Even dumb animals seek the companionship of their kind, and linked in the bonds of friendship with others, the toiler enjoys pleasure as exquisite and more elevated than does the practised songstress, as she pours forth the mel- ody of her song in rich and perfect harmony with voices and instruments that accompany her. Again, unity is desirable for the accomplishment of any abiding work. There is nothing like concert of action. The banded strength of many individuals makes one great power. The grand Suspension Bridge, which spans the wild chasm at Niagara, is the combination of hundreds of thread-like wires, sheathed and compacted into great iron cords. Truly it is an emblem of the power of unity. " A three-fold cord is not quickly broken." It may have been thought a grert thing for the daring and dash- ing troops of Napoleon, drunk with national glory and inspired with martial music, to make their reck- less, desperate charge at Waterloo ! — but it was a greater thing for the forces of Wellington to stand together in that hollow scjuare, protected (surround- ed) on all sides by a line of glistening bayonets, and receive the wild assault. After all, there is nothing like standing together, working together, and when duty calls, going together, hand in hand and foot to foot, in time of need. And unity is needed for self-preservation. Many a man inspired with conceit and flattered by the par- tiality shown him, and the advantages which a little authority placed in his hands has given him, has been disposed to scoff at those who have insisted upon the desirableness of unity. But such individu- als have their day — they run their course; and eventu- ally in their downfall teacii the great lesson that we are each dependent upon the other and that he who boasted of his ability to stand aloni. had not learned the great lesson of humanity — that elf-preservation can only be secured in unity of ind.viduals working for the common good.

ALKING through a modern press- room equipped with the hitest and best presses, every department, and every individual as well, work- ing as harmoniously as though parts of one vast machine, the visitor is apt to forget that things were not always thus. Not so long agq hut that quite a number of our craft can recollect, the machine was not so much in evidence as at pres- ent ; the hand press being the chief reliance of the artistically inclined printer, the cheaper grades of work being done on the so-called " mangles " and " stone crushers " of the period. The present writer's first advent in a press-room occurred in September, 1861, and in an office having a deserved reputation for fine printing. In this press-room were a num- ber of hand presses, the Columbian, the Albion, the Smith, the Washington and the Ritchie. On these presses was printed the best work entirely. In addition there was a Hoe drum, an Adams book press, and a number of (lordons of an, at present, obsolete pattern. The methods in use by the machine pressmen, in making ready, were, in the light of later experience, very crude indeed. To this, I believe, may be very largely attributed the failure to pro- duce results equalling those of the hand press. A little later, the Adams press came to be recognized by printers generally as the ideal piinting press. The finest work of the decade between i860 and 1870 was undoubt- edly that done on the Adams press. But the spirit of progress was in the air, and a num- ber of improvements being introduced by the competitors of the Hoe firm, tended to draw the attention of printers to the possibilities that lay in the cylinder press. The dis- covery that a hard packing produced a much sharper and cleaner impression aided largely in the development of this type of press. ICvery year was marked by some improve- ment either in the eijuipment of the presses built, or in the additional knowledge and skill of those manipulating them. Early in that the cylindrical method of impression was the true one, and that along this line future improvement rnust develop itself. We hi^ve lived to see fine illus- trated presswork executed on fast perfecting web presses, where the cylindrical idea is carried out in its entirety, as witness the printing of The Ladies' Home Journal, of Philadelphia, and The Youth's Compaitioii, of Boston, both of which publications are printed on web presses from curved plates at a speed aggregating 4,000 perfected copies per hour. If we leave the field of fine printing and enter into that of the newspaper, we will find a result no less surprising. Forty years ago, outside the very largest cities, newspapers were usually printed either on drum or three-revolution single presses, that is, Toronto Lithographing Co. Lithographers and Engravers the past decade it was clearly demonstrated ALL PROCESSES FOR ALL PURPOSES . . . 43 !l! I a: if) O CQ LU a: LU printing but one side of the sheet at each movement of the slowly moving bed. Fortunate indeed was the newspaper publisher who owned a double cylin- der, enabling him to print two sheets printed on one side from each movement of the bed. To-day it is a very poor paper indeed that has not one or more web presses running off its constantly increasing cir- culation. From the single Hoe drum to the marvel of science, the mammoth Hoe perfecting press, in forty years ! What a leap was there, my masters ! And let me say here, all developed by the closely and carefully considered suggestions of pressmen. What is in the future in the line of development either of machinery or in methods of securing results ? Will the pressman of fifty years hence have evolved new systems of making ready ? Will he overcome electricity in his paper, or be able to avoid offset better than we of to-day can ? Will his rollers work bad in humid weather or grow hard and lose life in cold weather ? In a word, will he be a better pressman than his predecessor ? I unhesitat- ingly answer, YES. If experience counts for any- thing, he should be. We of to-day know that, com- pared to the present generation, those of fifty or even twenty years ago were but tyros, and yet by and through the experiences of these men, added to a wider diffusion of knowledge, we have become their superiors. The same rule should and will hold with our successors, and while we get credit for the results we have been able to accomplish, just as we give credit to our own predecessors, yet they cahnot do otherwise than look upon us as their inferiors in the art of presswork, as we really shall be. The Inland Printer. Among the advertisers in the "SouviiNiR," the editors are pleased to note The Inland Printer. The management of that journal show their pro- gressiveness by the terms of their advertisement, and it will be a most desirable thing if a practicable plan of showing specimens of presswork in a com- petitive way can be devised. The Inland Printer is a courteous and consistent advocate of the right of workmen to organize ; and in the printing trade it ranks as the best technical journal published. The committee of arrangements have to acknow- ledge from The Inland Printer Company, the pre- sentation of bound volumes of the journal for the year closing with March, 1894. The extent and variety of the information therein contained, con- veyed in typography and presswork so beautiful, is certainly surprising to any one unacquainted with the publication. No independent, technical journal in the printing trade gives so much for its stibscrip- tion price. Obituary of Franklin S. Burrell. Died at Bath, N.Y., Sept. 26, i8y.i. (Written by a friend) Traveller ! In what realm afar, In what planet, in what star. In what vast aiirial space. Shines the light upon thy face ? In what garden of delight Rest thy weary feet to-night ? — Longfellow. The death of Franklin S. Burrell cast a gloom over the craft of which he was an honored and revered pillar. As a pressman, there was none better in this section of the country ; as a com- panion, he was a genial, sacrificing soul, and as a workman he had few equals. He was thorough in everything he undertook, painstaking, careful, stu- dious, and as near perfect in the art preservative of all arts as could be when he was taken away. Mr. Burrell was born in London, England, in 1826, and served his apprenticeship with the best English printers. In 1835 he came to this country and settled in Albany, when he joined Typographical Union No. 4, then a new and comparatively weak institution. He was elected to office in this body at various times, and through his wise counsel and sound judgment, often the organization was enabled on more than one occasion to surmount the barriers and avert the storms that threatened the young institution. In 1867 he was chosen a delegate to the International Typographical Union in Philadel- phia, and later on, when the pressmen met at New York in i88g to form their own organization, the International Printing Pressmen's Union of North America, Mr. Burrell was the representative of Troy Pressmen's Union, No. 22, and at the time of his death, Mr. Burrell was still active in the union, and held the office of treasurer in the Troy Pressmen's Union. In the earlier years of his experience in this country he was employed in various offices in this vicinity. He was with the Troy Times Budget, Albany Argus, New York Evening News, Arena, and for some time had charge of the Government Postal Card works at Castleton, and the printing depart- ment at Washington. It has often been said that there was not a branch of the printing trade but what Frank Burrell could master. He could set music as easily as the ordinary man could " straight copy," while the translation of French or German was a pastime to him. He was of a scientific turn, and when at quiet in his cosy little home in Bath, he turned his attention to '-,icroscopic studies. He made a microscope of his own, and by its aid was able to investigate matters animal, vegetable and mineral to his heart's content. In his library are many rare and costly old books that he gathered from time to time, and a most complete set of works on the history of printing and the advance in the manufacture of printing presses. He is survived by his one son and four daughters. 47 -^r.

Card of Thanks to our Patrons IN presenting our friends with this Souvenir, we feel we should be indeed ungrateful did we not acknow- ledge many kindnesses shown us. To Mr. B. J. Welage, of Cincinnati, our thanks are certainly due, and are hereby heartily tendered, for his invaluable assistance in starting us in the track that has brought us to the goal of success. To our advertisers we can only say : " Thanks, gentle- men, one and all, and may the result in the way of returns realize your highest expectations." Upon those who did not advertise in consequence of dull times, we hope better days have ere now dawned, that shall enable theni to favor the boys next time they request. We also acknowledge receipt of a donation of $25 from the Potter Press Co., kindly forwarded to assist us in our undertaking. Messrs. Geo. H. Morrill & Co. sent us a handsome lamp, which, though not what we asked for, was not by any means unacceptable. Mr. R. L. Patterson, manager of the Canadian Office of Miller & Richard's Type Foundry, also donated the sum of fio. We gratefully acknowledge the services of Mr. Butchart, of Saturday Night, in steering several consignments of goods through the mazes of the custom house. The paper used in this Souvknir is from the mills of Ritchie & Ramsay, New Toronto ; the quality speaks for itself. The cover was furnished by the Ault & Wiborg Printing Ink Company, Cincinnati, and designed by Mr. H. Normandin, late o( Ault & Wiborg's, but now of Camden, Ohio. Typesetting and press- work are by the Monetary Times Printing and Publishing Co., Toronto. / .«pei«&if^^
