MR. MARTIN.S PAMPHLET.

—_——

It is pleasing to note that the two very able speeches of Mr. Martin, M. P., one on “ Railwaya in Prince Edward Island,’ and the other on “Trade Relations between Newfoundland and Camada,” have been issued in pamphlet for general circulation. Special pains ought to be taken to gain for this pamphletthe attention of the leaders of opinion in the Middle and Western Pro- vinces of Canada. Ap erroneous impression prevails there that the ‘P. E. Island Rail- way—aa the Interecolonial and Cape Breton aud other railways—were buiit at abe expense of the taxpayers of Canada jasteaa of being, as it really was, built at the proper expense of the people of this Province and handed over as a free gift to Canada. Many of the politicians of the west (headed by Sir Riehard Cartwright) have sedulously cultivated the teeling that Prince Edward Island has already been unduly favored; and this feeling has not been combatted as it ought to have been by Mr. Davies and his friends representing this Province in the House of Commona. By the way, Mr. Martin’s reply to Sir Richard’s snarling interjection regarding the expense of running the P. E. Island Railway was rather neat and pungent. Mr.

Martin said:

*“T donot think my hon. friend (Sir Richard Cartwright)fhaa been very gen- erous to the province and I believe that almost every project advocated for the benefit of the Island has been opposed by him. Some years ago he opposed giving our little province $20,000 a year, and the Minister of Trade and Commerce then eaid thatthe Government was opening the door wide for corruption. The hoa. gentlemen may remember, that at one time he referred to Prince Edward Island as one of the rhreds and patches of the Domision. Time has its revenges thet have now come home to the hon gentle~ man, in view of the fact that the men who occupy the most prominent positions in the Government to-day came from the ao called shreds and patches, and nearly crowded the hon. gentlemen out.”

The fact is that if the balance reeulting from its operation bas been agains: the P. KE. Island Railway, so also has the bal- ance been against the other Government

It is, therefore, unfair to make a special point of the deficits of the P. E. Island Railway ; and to argue that by rea- son of these P. E. Island is not entitled to the railway extension which she demands. It would be much fairer and more reason- able to argue that theextensions should be mad? on the ground that the deficits will be reduced or eliminated if “feeders” are given tothe road. However this may be, Mr. Martin’s speech was clear aad con- vincing in respect tothe justice of our elaim for railway extension. If railway extension should be granted, the fact will be due largely to Mr. Martin’s indefatig- able efforis; and if not granted the fault will not be his.

Mr. Martin’s speech regarding the trade relations between Newfoundland and Canada isof more general interest and wider importance than the other; and equally with it ought to be widely read.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

—It is definitely decided that Mr. H. C, McLeod, formerly of this Province, now of Chicago, will succeed Mr. Fyshe in the Bank of Nova Scotia. Congratulations.

—At Montreal, the customs collections for May, 1897 were $408,248, as compared with $532.606 for May 1896, a falling off of nearly $125,600. There is also a con~ siderable fa)ling off in inland revenue.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES,

Montreal Gazette: Le GSoleil is strong im its approval of the Marchand Govern- ment. Thia ie one of the things that should make Mr. Marchand uncomfort- able.

Montreal Star: “It is about time that we knew something as to the date of proro gation. Buginess wil] never be quite until we get Mr. Fielding and his little hatchet away from that tariff.”

THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTI TOWN, JUNE 2, 1897

NEWS NOTE,

President Mc Kinley bas honored the newspaper profession by selecting W hite- law Reid, editor of the New York Tribune, as special ambassador to London to repre - sen the president at the Queen’s jubilee.

Tae New Yo & Journat’a Washington epecial deals with the Cuban question and outlines President McKinley’s. action -as follows: The Presidest will represent to Spain that the United States ia thorough - ly posted on the situationin Cuba, “You cannot reconquer the island,” he will say, “In over two yeare of bloody and de-truc tive warfare you have demonstrated that fact beyond question. The insurrection is us strong or stronger thanever.” A refer ence is made to the damage done Ameri can interests, and the desire of the Cuban rebels to pay Spain an indemnity, the de- spatch continues, represents McKinley as raying: “The alternative forced upon the United States by inexorbate events is direct and forcible intervention, in wuich case but one result can come,—yon will not only Jose Cuba, bui lose it without a dollar of indempity.”5

The Boston Transcript, referring to the Queen’s Jubilee, says, “The Queen’s special escort wiil show at a glance, the imperial ruler, guarded by the sabres of many lands, all of which look to her as the visible embodiment of their allegiance. The scene will be most impressive. It will be worthy of a Gibbon, for it will be as stately and as splendid as his style througk which one hears the heavy tread cf the Roman legions and catches but the glitter that arms and armor give. All the world will watch it. Jealous European eyes a8 they see that striking representa- tion, that impressive ofject lesson of the power which can be set in motion by the clicking ef a telegraph machine in a dingey looking building in Downing street, may realize that peace is policy. . . . Between her (the Queen) and the English people there are the tenderert ties of affection. Sheisthe exponent of their power and is so admired; but there is a deeper and more generous enthusiasm for her which must be seen to be understood. She has been gifted with a degree of clear- eyed common gense that is almost genius. She has never sought to rule too mueh, and we shall see in a few weeks such an outburst of loyalty to this white-haired woman, bent years and sorrow,as not the most powerful despots can have pro duced to order from the most abject of

people.” BORN

PROTECT OUR WORKMEN.

Six,—I atm pleased to notice the vigor- ous protest made in our cily press against the system which gives to nou-residents an advaniase over our Own artisan and labor- ers in respect lo important contracts and the employment of labor. This agitation even iucludes the colun:nes of the Patriot, a cenire (o which even “a vestige of pro- tection” has hitherto been sbhborent. I wonld pot advocate any restrictions upon

the contracts or labor of non-residents in anv manner which would tend to make Charlottetown anything but a free city. The contractor, artisan or laborer who comes amongst us should be made wetcome, but that welcome

should be »ccompanied with the stern re- qutrement that he must assume the daties, responsibilities and bis just proportion of the of citizenship, It is unfair to our teamsters that they should be com - pelled to psy licence to carry On their vo- cation while the non-resident can bring his team to town and perform the same work untrammelled and untaxed. Our contractors, mechanics and working men are Leavily taxed in order to maintaip our city government and to keep: our streets wharves, bridges and public works in’ good repair. So long as these expenditures are converted to their own benefit they can Lave no just cause for complaint,, but when pon contributors to the cost have equal and profitable enjoyment of these advantages then Our mecLanics and workingmen have a just grievance. The Jocal centractor who has to pay say $100 city taxes must add this amount to his tenders for work. The non-resident contractor can put intenders to that ex- tent leas, and in so far as he uses the streets, public works and conveniences proviced at the expense of our citizens, he is utilizing the capital of our local men.

In providing a remedy, unfortunately the bands of the City Council are tied by that miserably jum! led uplegislation known as the “City Incorporation Act.” an Act hedged in by restrictions and bound down by conditions which have no par- allel under the British flag. [ts whole value may be summed up in a few directions given,a few powers imparted, this thou shalt do, and this thou shalt not do, and outside of this they cannoteven change their night of meeting without a special act of Parliament. Itistrue that they have some little power ia the exercise of which, with proper caution, they could to some extent compel contributions to the reveuve of our city by those non-resident contrac- tors who are monopolising large important works, and it is to be hoped that our council will hasten to exercise due vigil- ence in this respect,
