; dent love ier his relatives that none but a | consin, an uncle, or a brother-in-law will he} laccept as a colleague to contest Charlotte- itown in the Grit interest. Mr. Thomas! Morris —a cousin of Mr. Davies—is his cob | leagne. After filling the Public Depart- | ments with his relatives, Louis is now en- | deavoring to get some of them into Parlia-' ment.

In the course of his speech, on Monday} last, Mr. Davies, we hear, reiterated the statement that each member of the Legisia- ture received fifty dollars for attending the short session recently held ; and that he (Mr. Davies) had been offered a cheque for a like amount and had refused. Now, we have no hesitation in saying that the late Premier told a deliberate untruth. He was offered a cheque for thirty-nine dollars, and refused to accept it, because the amount was too small. This is patriotism with a ven- geance. It is significant that, in the pub- lished report of Mr. Davies’ speech, his statement regarding the fifty dollars ses- sional pay is not mentioned.

(The Argus.)

Some temperance men in this city justify their action in supporting the candidature of Mr. Thomas Morris on the ground that the Hon. George Coles in his day, and the Hon. J. C. Pope, both of whom have been engaged in the same business as that in which Mr. Morris is now engaged, have been largely supported by temperance men. It is true that these men have been brew- ers; but we fail to see that any comparisen whatever can be instituted between them aud Mr. Morris. Men possessed of such minds and talents as the late Hon. George Coles and the Hon. J. C. Pope are exceed- ingly fewin number, and itis not to be supposed that because they happened to own a brewery they were thus to be de- barred from serving their country. When Mr. Pope is endowed with talents which eminently fit him for public life, Mr. Morris has nothing to recommend him to the electors of this country. The idea of tem- perance men espousing the cause of Mr. Morris, who is engayed in the liquor traffic, because Mr. Coles and Mr. Pope, who were engaged in the manufacture of beer, have received the support of temperance men, is simply absurd. It is a miserable plea, and those who put it forward, either publicly or privately, lay themselves open to the ridicule of all thoughtful men.

(The Montreal Witness—Opposition. )

Mr. Tilley has raised the general duties two and a half per cent., just as Mr. Cart- wright did, and for the same reason, name- ly, a heavier prospective deficiency in the revenue. It will be remembered thata year ago Mr. Cartwright, counting on bet- ter times, declined toe increase the taxation to meet a small deficit he expected. This deficit has been more than realized, and had Mr. Cartwright continued in power he would have had to increase the duties pro- bably as much as Mr. Tilley has done, or found some other way of getting the two and a half millions which the reduced quan- tity and values of imports render neces- sary.

(St. John News —Opposition.)

The situation as it respects the new fiscal policy is a striking one, but it has few real surprises connected with it. The readjust- ed tariff involves a considerable increase of taxation, but nubody can be surprised at that, for everybody knew such an increase was inevitable, seeing that there was a large deficit to provide against. Had the new tariff contained net a single element of the so-cailed National Policy, it must have imposed heavier burdens on Canadian tax-payers than the one superseded by it. Had Mr. Cartwright remained Chancellor of the Canadian Exchequer, he must have proposed tariff changes designed te raise as much additional revenue as Mr. Tilley hopes to get through the readjustment pro- posed by him. So much is perfectly well understood by every intelligent Canadian.

(Toronto Mail.)

Mr. Cartwright submitted his budget on the 14th April, 1874. On the 17th, the Globe’s Ottawa letter chronicled the arrival of delegations from Toronto and Hamilton to protest against the sugar duties. On the 18th, deputrtions from Montreal, Torento, Hamilton, L.ingston and Ottawa are re- ported as interviewing Mr. Cartwright ‘‘on tariff questions.” On the 20th—the 19th was a Sunday—he was waited upon, says the same authority, by a Western delega- tion with reference to the excise duty on petroleum, and by a Maritime delegation on the subject of shipbuilding. On the 21st, the capital appears to have been crowded with delegations, for the despatch says the sitting of the Committee on Manufactur- ing Interests was attended by ‘‘ a number of gentlemen, who have arrived on various matters counected with the tariff.” A stove deirgation turned up in the evening, headed by Mr. Edward Gurney, jr. On the 22nd, says this chron- icler, ‘‘the proccedings of the Manufactur- ing Interests Committee were very lively and interesting, the room being well filled with gentlemen nowin Ottawa in connection with the tariff changes under considera- tion.” It wasa large room, too. Same’ day—*‘No less than eleven deputations | waited on the Finance Minister to-day to| represent their various claims and alleged | grievances.” Delegations then became chronic; at least we infer so from the

For tifteen clear days the business men of the conntry were alarmed by the mountain in labor ; and on the sixteenth they went home disgusted with the ridiculous mouse.

Cu aRiorreTown, March 3ist, 1879. My Dear Docror,—According to the Examiner of to-night, 1 see that Prowse was nominated unanimously. I de not be- lieve all in that paper; and, again, the Patriot is much teo sanguine in its reports of meetings. Were | to judge from that paper alone | would be deceived as to the real state of events politically. Of course the Patriot is doing just what we want— painting our triumph in glowing colors; but he overdid it during the late Dominion elections, for I lost money onit. I took their account of meetings for correct, and bet accordingly. I will be wiser in the fu- ture. I think Henry and Son are natural- ly a trifle mendacious, but I suppose they think all is fair in love, war and politics, Now, I want to know exactly how things are in your District? What chance Samuel has? and how about your own! I have counted on you sure, with a colleague al- most as certain. Iam sorry I cannot speak so confidently of my own. You know of course, Morris is with me; we could not get better; he is a dodge to split the Con- servative vote. I always felt sure of Tom. he so intensely protestant. All I had to do was to shake the ‘‘ red rag” a little before him (red rag, i. e., the School Question, not safe in Sullivan’s hands, Roman Ca- tholic leader, etc.), and | had him fast and furious. Poor Tom, not a bad fellow, but purely of on# idea, what a colleague he would make for either of those ‘‘ Home Rule” fellows, Biggar and Parnell, the ob- structionists in the British House of Come mons. Thomas Walker, in spite of all I could say or do, would not keep his fingers out of the Treasury, and the confounded supply of articles to the unfortunate Asylum after he became Provincial Secretary and Treasurer, leaked out. How I wish the elections were well over; I am afraid that more unpleasant things may follow. Then, it is all up a gum tree with us. It was a great mistake for us to hold the refuta- tion meeting. It looks so peculiarly funny our not calling a second to refute the later and more serious charges. We should have treated them with silent contempt in the first instance ; for we can’t get over the requisitions and counterfoil business, tho’ the anti-dates look the worst feature in it.

I hope nothing wrong will be discovered in Will Dunbar’s Department. I am very much-afraid tho’! He was always a heavy drag on us. When aman is not the clean thing, he had better keep out of politics— better for the country anyway. Iam sure you will agree with me, Dector. You never fancied him any more than our quondam friend Prowse did; and now I remember you fancied yourself a bit of a physiogno- mist—a regular Laratee in fact. Certainly the late Commissioner’s countenance is not in his favor. Ithonght he would havea good chance, McNeil and Campbell both opposing him, and one another. McNeil has since retired in Campbell's favor, so poor W. D, 8. will be left out in the cold. Iam sure of our good friend from Port Hill and the neph’y from Biddeford, No chance in King’s County, except your District. LIexpect you to do your ablest. Belfast is all awry. I wonder how the old genileman would take there again, as I ex- pect he will leave the Paymastership shortly. But quit rents are things of the past, so that would never do. Calhoun is a gone coon this time, tho’ perhaps he may Tryon the ‘‘ school smock-frock” again among the Protestant settlements with some success. Our only chance really is to raise that ‘‘cry” again. We are doing it secretly where we can. I have one expres- sion almost stereotyped on my mind, viz., ‘“‘Well, with a Seperate School man, two or three R. €.’s, and an R. C. Leader in the Government, you may know what to expect.” I never have to say any more. That does the business. How easy it is to gull people—really sensible folk, too—when you learn their peculiar bias and flatter their judgment a little! I have long ago lost all hopes of a Government, and I am afraid the Opposition will be terribly weak ; so instead of having to do 3or4 men’s work, besides trying to prevent pich- ing and stealing, as I had to do in the late Government. I will have to be the whole team myself, with yourself and another, perhaps, to help me if I get in, which is impossible now with the latest develoy- ments. How would I take in Murray Har- bor again? : pot I made out of the fishing business to beat Samuel in his own district. Answer right away. Keep me posted in your dis- trict. Remember me kindly to Mrs. R., and believe me,

Yours very truly, . L. H. Daviovs. Dr. Robison, Montague Bridge.
