may be questioned by some as to how we can afford to sell
goods at such wonderfully reduced rates? Our answer is
that having control of all necessary capital, we, by watch-
ing the market, can secure at any time large consignments
of goods, which must be sold for cash, as well as large
bankrupt stocks, and which small capitalists cannot han¬
dle. It is no object for us to hold these goods, even if we
so desired; we therefore offer them to the public, sharing
with them the profit. Send to us in season so as to secure
the benefit of this wonderful bargain.

A GAELIC SPEECH.
From the Tuam News.
We beg to draw the attention of our readers to
the Gaelic speech which we give on fourth page.
Mr. Costelloe, who delivered it from a public plat¬
form in the presence of delegates from the English
Home Rule, deserves the thanks of his country¬
men. Would to Heaven there were in every par¬
ish in Ireland a man like Mr. Costelloe. We be¬
lieve there is not on the face of the globe today a
creature more contemptible than the Irishman who
mouths the English language and pretends ignor¬
ance of his own, the only speech in which he can
properly formulate his thoughts. Mr. Costelle ad¬
dressing thousands in the Gaelic language, has
proved more conclusively to the English visitors
that we are still a distinct people, having a langu¬
age of our own, the exponent of our nationality,
than all the English speeches they will bear till
they reach home. (The speech is on the title page)
