| SR2, CORRESPONDENCE,
We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions or sialements of our correspondents
Winter Communication.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Dear S1r,—It appears from the report of the public meeting lately held in Char- [Jottetown, and from other reports, that the | people of this Jsland are ajl agreed that the | Zerms of Union respecting winter com-
munication with the mainland must be jcurried out. The people are now taking a | very great interest in this question, and if ;we only press this point, and this point |only, wisely and firmly, we will no doubt , very soon see the Dominion Government making some real effort towards its accom- plishment.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, some are 'not disposed to press this point, simply, but | contend that we should agree upon a plan | by which the Terms of Union can be fal
filled and submit this plan to the Dominion
Government. Whatever may be the ob- ject of those who advocate this latier ,canse, it can only result in failure in the ‘future as in the past. Public opinion 1s ‘and will continue to be as diversified on the ' details of this question as it is on the details of almost every other public question known ‘to man. Besides this peculiarity of human nature, there are, or may be, personal or ; sectional interest, that intensify this differ. | ence of opinion,
If we allow ourselves to be drawn aside by this question of detail, (for it is nothing } more) from own main object, the natural
consquence is that nothing will be done until this contention ceases, We have now been discussing the relative advantages of ‘the different routes for years, without any ‘apparent progress, some advocating the Georgetown-Pictou route and some the Capes route with the branch railways and improved ice-boat service. Others may ad- | vocate a route from either Souris, George- ;town or Murray Harbor to some point in 'Cape Breton, Cape George or Pictou, while ' others may advocate a route from some one or more different points in Prince County / to some one or more different points on the New Brunswick coast west of Cape Tor mentine, where the Straits are wider and where the ice jam is not likely to be so formidable; while others may take the safer and wiser course of advocating, as the only way by which the Terms of /Union can be carried out to the letter, {a tunnel! under the Straits. Toexpect men
| holding such diversity of opinions ‘to agree
upon any one of the above plans is simply childish, and should be abandoned.
I can well understand the Dominion politicians (not statesmen) would prefer this controversy among ourselves on this subject to be perpetuated, because, so long as it is continued, it will be an excuse for taking no action on the matter. They will be relieved from undertaking this very important and expensive work, and will say
tous: ‘Gentlemen, we are very anxious to fulfil the terms of Union with you, and as you have so kindly undertaken to selre the difficulty for us, how it is to be done, we are ouly waiting until you can agree, when we will proceed with the work immediately Of course, thisis a case wm which you, as Canadians, as well as Islanders, are most interested in; and we are most anxious not to spend anoiher doflar until you can suggest a plan that wil be cpprowed of by everyman, woman and ch:/d on the Island, or that ever ‘wi'l be on the Island. Now, isnot that fair? | Ahem !” | When the terms of Union were made with sritish Columbia, were the people in that ' Province asked to unite in selecting a loca ‘tion for the Pacific Railway? Can we ‘imagine they were unanimously in favor of the route as at present located? No; they insisted on the Dominion Government ful- filling their terms of Union. The question of ways and means was not considered by _ them ; the question of location was not, so ‘far as I can learn, even discussed. They ‘demanded that the Terms of Union, pure and simple, should be carried out. They took their case to the British Government, and after a gocd deal of wrangling, and the adoption of ‘‘ways that were dark and tricks that were vain’ in wire-pulling, ‘practised by a former Dominion Goveru- iment, they are now having, not only their | terms of Union carried out to the letter, at a cost exceeding one hundred millions of dollars, but also full compensation for ‘delay. If we follow their example, we also ‘may obtain our rights. Uninterrupted /conimanication with the rest of the Domin- lion is even more necessary to us in this Island than the Pacific Railway is to the people of British Columbia. They were temporarily only isolated from the rest of the Dominion, while the outside world was open to them from one year’s end to an- other ; while we are isolated from all crea- tion during nearly six months of the year, and virtually deprived ot the advantages ‘of foreign trade, even Curing the summer months, by a National Policy, which was not even thought of when we entered the Union, and which makes our claim to an eficient and continuous communication with the rest of the Dominion absolutely NCECESSAaL In a leading article ef Taz Examiner of he 3rd instant, the writer, while approving of the stand taken by the Local Legislature and the Dominion Government on this question, endeavors to show that the ‘“‘neople of the Province, the electors, occupy a difierent position, because they are Cana- dians as well Islanders, and the Union in- volves not only benefits to be received, but services to be rendered by us,” and also trys to show it to be our duty to give ex- pression;io our views as to the route and the facilities to be provided. This argu- ment does not apply to our case. The Local Government and the people of this Island
this Province with she Do:ainion Govern- ment, the Bri ish Government or with any other party. The Terms of Union were negotiated when we were not a part of the

Dominion. It was only mate binding upon us by an Order of Her Majesty in Council, acting for the whole British Ewpire, by the consent and approval of the British Government acting for Canada (this Island not then included), aud by the assent and approval of the Local Government of this Island, acting simply for the people of this [sland; and I submit that on any ques- tion arising hetween this Province end the Dominion of Canada, neither the Local Goveroment nor the electorate of this Pro- vince have any service to render to Canada ip its settiement. It, then, becomes plainly our duty as provincialists to look after our own interests, while it will be the duty of the resi of the Dominion, from British Col- umbia to Nova Scotia, as represented by the Dominion Government, to guard the interests of the Dominion :8 a whole, and see to it that Prince Edward Island shall not receive any advantages or privileges to which she is not legally and justiy entitled, and which they are qui e well able to do, without the electors of this Province assisting them to defeat the pol- icy and claims of the Local Gov- ernment, as regards the Terms of Union, f proof is wanted, we have only to refer to the course pursued by them in regard to our share of the Fishery Award.
The writer of a communication in THE Examiner, of the 3rd inst., signing > imee!f ‘*W,” also thinks that a ‘‘fatal mistake will be made if we are content with insist- ing upon the Dominion Government falfill- ing its obligations withou® saying epee. tically what we want,” and argues therefrom that the Dominion Government will hit upon some compromise that will partly meet the views of everyone—wholly, of no one, This trouble is just what we will avoid by insisting on the Terms of Union, as agreed on. We will ask for no untried scheme— no more experiments with our lives and property. We will accept no compromise. ‘Efficient steam service between this Island and the mainland, winter and sum- mer, thus placing the Island in continuous communication with the Intercolonial Rail- way and the Railway system of the Dowin- ion’—this ia what we hate a right to demand ; this we are all agreed. to ask for —nothing more or less,
On the 7th inst., a very well written paper on this subject was read before the Young Men’s Christian Association ia Charlottetown by William Heard, Eeq., a gentleman whose extensive knowledve, and good common sense geperaily secures very high respect for his opimiens on any sul j-ct. But [ regret to find in this paper Mr, fi. considers that ‘‘it is only fair that we should suggest what, from our standpoint, would be the best method of meeting the diiticulty,” jt may be only fair to do so, but is it wise or necessary! J think not. It wauld have been just as fair, wise, and necessary for us to suggest a]. cition for the Canadian Pacific Railway—it would not likely have been accepted, however. It cecupied the time and labor of the best professional skill, at a cost of several mil- lion dollars, nu doubt it Was money and labor well expended. Mr. H. says, if this (Terms of Union) could be accomplished by a tunnel, perhaps not one of our en ire population would raise an objection. But can it be accomplished at a reasonable cost? And then he refers to the comtract for building the St. Lawrence Tunnel at Mon- treal at a cost of Four M jlion Dollars, the length being abvut three miles. Taking this as a criterion, it is estimated that a tunnel from this Is'and to the Mainland would cost thirteen and a half million dollars, a little more than three years surplus revenne of the Dominion Government, so far as cost as concerned if the Province of Quebec can afford a tunnel costing four milion dollars, surely thirteen and a half miilion dollars would not be unbearable by the whole Domision. I have such faith in the honor of Her Majesty the Queen and her Privy Council and in the Dominion Government, that it cannot be computed in dollars and cents so far as our terms of Unién are con- cerned. Another objection is raised by Mr. H. owing to the nature cf the strata through which our tunnel would have to pass. Well, I confess | am not competent to form an opinion whether it is or is not possible to construct a tuonel under the Straits, neither do | think is Mr. H.a professional geologist, avd if he is, | am not aware that he ever made the necessary borines, sank the necessary shafts or in any way wade the necessary explorations to justify the Dominion Government in
£ ‘
deciding for or against a tunnel, all of which is absolutely necessary before an intelligent OF; inion can be formed in refer ence thereto.
Instead, theref« re, of aski Y the people of this Island to agree upon some plan or method by which the Terms of Union can be carried out, let the Dominion Govern- ment employ the very best professional men obtainable, and empower them to make a thorough enquiry as to the best plan that can be devised, together with an esti- mate of the cost, of falfillingthe Terms of Union, 86 far as winter communication is concerned. Such an investigation would be much more satisfactory thay any amount of theories pr posed by heaven-born ¢ ngineers.
I am, yours traly, SaMvuEL Prowse. Murray Harbor, Feb. 18, 1882.
