IION. Mr. CUMMISKEY. replying

to Mr. Morson's remarks regarding the Prince County Jail and other contracts said that on the former n saving had been effected, and he did not ` know of any accounts carried over in the Public Works Department; unpaid from lust year. As to the resolution of Mr. Mathieson for n statement of the expenditures to Dec. 31, 11107, he contended that the same was nsked for only to mislead thel neople and that the Government hud_ it perfect right to withold iafornna-i tion not in the public interest. ’, I

If the Gov»l ernment want to obtain the confid- ence of the people they must take the people into their confidence. l illr. McKinnon said that he was. not. worrying very much about thel

information that had been refused.;

He believed that the Opposition and the country would get it before very long. It is clear now that .the pub- lir. accounts are incorrect. to the ex- tent of at least $35,000, and if they are incorrect in that respect, how can we assume that they are correct in ntlu-.r respects 'I They cannot be relied upon.

ltcgnrding ‘the alleged increased vol-

ume trade Mr. Foster said the returns were misleading in that they did not take account of the higher prices no\v compared with those in 1896.

He then contrasted the growth of

imports with that of exports, citing figures to show that while in 1000 the former had increased 109 per-cent since

per-cent.

Trade with the United States, too,hml

increased out of all proportion to trade with Great Britain and there had been. an enormous growth in tho adverse balance of trade of Canada against the world which had gone up i04 millions in fo_nr yearh, and said Foster, “There`s a day of reckoning coming.” `

/ .

| They could prevent. it in only i`o\n' ways; first they had to import less, sec- ond they must have greater home pro- duction; third greater exports and final- ly greater economy in expenditure.

Mr. Foster showed that $3,000,000 of

the subsidy of $3,000,000 given tothe Crows Nest was a direct loss.

The Government. had given away

1800, theoxportshad increased but lltiithuse valuable coal lands to their

friends. He also referred to the pur- chase of the Kentville ltiflo Range and

'scored the whole transaction.

S. A, l\in.cDonnld’snewdry goodsstore

formally opened lust night with a large attendance. Charlottetown has now one more business house of which it may be proud.

The formal opening of S. A. MacDon~

ald's store was an event looked forward td by many. and those who were pre- sent last evening were amply _repaid for their visit to tho new dry goods store. In many cases the press has pr0- bably been paying too much attention to Huccessftil Islanders abroad and for- getting those who are building home industries. It is unnecessary for The Guardian to mention here the success that has been connected with this firm.

Duringrtheir business history in this

City for the lust twelve years.all have watched it grow from day to day, step, by stop, to one of the largest business concerns in the Province.

The public were most cordially receiv-

ed last night by the proprietor and the obliging staff of clerks. It is said that first impressions are lasting. if so it is safe to prophesy a most successful fn- ture for this enterprising i'lrm.

The newness of everything seemed to

make a striking impression on every-

ing new,-as all tlio,old stock of clothing and gents' furuisliings were sold during the big sale last fall to make room for the rebuilding of the store.

The policy formerly laid down, and

* which hue mxule this business what it

is to-day, will be strictly adhered to in the future : honest, f`uir, and equal treatment to everybody.

The change of pictures arranged

for Wonderland this evening, means another evening of enjoyment, amu- sement and instruction by means of the versatile films. The list as it appears in Wonderland's regular

As the vaudeville attraction, the

Musical Macs and Viola Wentworth are the names. The Musical Macs are drawing near.the close of their engagement, and as once is only an insight into what these clever peo- ple can do in the way of musical en- tertainment, it fs well to bear in mind that they are worth hearing many times over and take the np- pcrtunity of doing so while it oiiers. They are the best musicians and the most popular of any musical attrac- tion yet brought here, in vaudeville. Their instruments are entirely along

der their capable manipulation as they are harmonious and sweet, so. the Macs ever bear the suggestion to remember-that such entertainment is rare and never remains long, for others want them. See them tonight. Viola Wentworth appears in a new song, a new costume and renders one at her many fetching dances. .\s a danseuse she is charming and .i, popular favorite. Her portion of the program is always looked forward to with pleasure by the many who go to see her every evening, and no one goes away disappointed. Mr. Trainor’s song is the one of last evening, and with Wonderland's new pianist, Mr. Haines who by the way is a magnificent: peiformer and oi himself worth going to Wonder- land to hear, the change of the pro- gram tonight is 0.
