LETTERS T0 THE EDITOR.

| eer te : Davies and Laird at the Recent Meeting.

Sir, —It is a matter of surprise to many why Mr. Davies and his friends are kicktng up such a fuss about political questions at present, when there is no prospect of an election at hand. They are becoming des- perate and act like ravenous welves. Hunger for political pelf must be gnawing the vitals of M@ssrs. Davies and Laird. Having once received such a gorge of public money, being out in the cold is not at all eotgpaial to this brace of worthies. We are not unfamiliar with their tactics ; but itis rather unfortunate for them that the only record they have as Dominion politicians to recommend them to the elect- ors of this Province is the record of the administration of Mr. McKenzie. Is was observed, previous to McKenzie gain- ing power, that ke was extremely dissatis- fied with the management of the Govern- ment. There was not a depaptment of the public service but was ruinously managed. {t was well known that previous to gaining power, Mr. McKenzie and his followens were opposed to the principle of super- annuation, andon every hustings where they met they dencuneed it ae Mr. Davies is now attempting, yet the figures on record show how they managed that business, and gave the lie to their professions.

In 1872-3. Superannuation. $ 53,000 In 1873-4, do 64,400 In 1874-5, do 77,300 In 1875-6, d> 101,600 In 1876-7, do 104,800

During their term of office they swelled the superennuation . fund from $53,000 to $104,800. The Conservative party never condemned the principle of superannuation They believed a. worthy public official spending his time in the service, when des- abled,should be superannuated. Whereas, the consistency of the Grif party who de- nounced the principle went back on their professions and shows that no re- liance or dependence can be placed in them. These men shameleesly talk about control- lable public expenditure in the face of the increased requirements of the country, now extending from ocean to ocean. A country that does not increase its expenditures is a courtry that is finished and stands still, or rather retrogrades in every respect. How did the Grits manage controllable axpen- diture when they were in power? When in opposition, as now, we were led to believe there would be the most important reductions in the public expenditvre in all departments. Taking, however, the last complete year of Sir John A. McDonald's Government, we fiud civil government, immigration, customs salaries, excise sal- aries, justice, superannuation and public works, &c., &c., cost the country $3,677,- 500; and the last year of McKenzie’s Government the same cost $4,998,200, or an increase of $1,320,000 over the expendi- ture which Mr. McKeuzie was in the habit of calling excessive when in opposition. In the matter of contro!lable expenditure,is the re- cord of Louis H. Davies any better? Take the management of the Loeal Government for an answer of his career! Mr. Davies talks flippantly about the public debt as some- thing which be could obviate if he were in power. He does not make any allowance for the great public works, and increased development of the country. Oh! no, the innocent is so very economical that Grit rule would be bliss in this Dominion. Dur- ing the time their Government was in power, the increase in debt has been very marked, Mr, Cartwright had been three years in England for loans during the term of his oftfic2, and the following is the result in the public debt:—

1879-3 $129, 743,400 1873-4 141,163,500 1874-5 151,663,400 1875-6 : . : 161,205,000 1°76.7 . : : 174,675,808

Increase in debt between 1872 3 PEE co cck lca c ess $44,932,406

The increase in the interest on the debt has been as follows :

Interest in 1872-3, - $5,549,400

co «1873 4, : 6,122,800 do ‘1874-5, : s 6,340,000 do 1876-7, 7,132,400

Total increase in the interest on the debt

during the term the Grits were in power,

$1,583,000. :

Taking Mr. Cartwright’s debt table, it

can be shown that the net debtof the Do-

minion increased during the first six years of Confederation under the Conservatives

$24,000,000, and during the four years of

Mr. Mackenzie's reig it increased

$33,000,000. One would suppose, to hear( them talk now, that they increesed the debt

none. We must take their past record as

an evidence of what they would do were

they in power. They cannot obliterate it—

they would if they could,

Mr. Laird should be the last man in this

country to talk about the Franchise Bill.

His career and action will live after he is

dead and gone, and he cannot obliterate it

either. It only shows that his pretensions

now are hollow in the extreme. With re-

gard to the Franchise Bill any elector who will take the pains of reading it carefully can very soon decide that Messrs. Davies and Laird do net explain the principles of that bill honestly and fairly, but will see they are both guilty of the crime called suppressto vert.

These men also talk of contracts. Have they forgot the Fort Francis lock where a quarter of a million was squandered / Every elector should read the record of this stupendous folly given in sessional paper 88, 1877, and the report of evidence before the Senate Committee, and he will stand amazed at the reckless blundering of the Government of which David Laird was Minister of the Interior. Shortly after

that lock was commenced, Mr. McKenzie

That was ihe wey the Gcits maintained the indepen- dence of Parliament! The Kaministiquia | job is not surely fosgotsen. According to | Davies and Laird they are anxious to ex- hibit Cartwright’s ‘* brazen shield ’—silver side for Buitish capitalists, brazen side for Canadian electors (GJobe, Oct. 23, 1877). This part of his speech is carefully sup- pressed in the volume of Picnic Speeches. I dare say Mr. Davies’ speeches in Parlia- ment are very different from his picnic speeches at Clifton and Mount Stewart. Wartwright showed how morality was elevated, ‘‘ When we in England and at home two different stories tell.” Mr. Davies ia following in his footsteps, and justly deserves the sobriquet of the great political false prophet of Prince Edward Island. We leck to the leaders of Mr. Davies for a formulated policy. We expect Mr. Davies to reiterate it in the press of this Drovince. We don't want to be fighting straw men without fixed prin- ciples or a policy. It is a noteworthy fact that they have no definite policy or prin- ciple to commend them to the electors. Some of their followers talk of readjust- ment of the tariff. If that be the case we should know what reduetion they propose to make. Mr. Davies, at Rustico, during a past election campaign, declared it was their intention to return to the revenue tariff of Mr. McKenzig He has not, how- lever, published it in the press; consequent- ly we must presume he was not sincere, and the general run of his statements are equally insincere, without a definite habi- tation.

Yours truly, LIBERAL-CONSERVATIVE. New Londen, Sept. 7th, 1885.

Dynamite Rumors in London.

Various uneomfortable rumors have been floating about lately to the effect that there is soon to be a revival ef the dyn mite ont- rages in public buildings of London similar to those perpetrated last January. These reports bave been especially rife sinee the publication in the Pell Mall Gazette of August 22, of O'Donovan Rossa’s ietters to his pals in Havre and Antwerp, in which he -complained that they had plenty of ‘oat- meal’ and wouldn’t use it, and commanded them to arrang? for several simultaneous explosions in Englond forthwith.’ The police pooh pooh these ramors as usual, but this terme they seem more confident than on some previous occasions, and they claim to have certain information which convinces them that no dynamite outrages will be at- tempted until after the elections are decid- ed. If the Tories win the police believe

that the dynamitars will pause long enongh to let Lord Salisbury show his hand in regard to his Irish policy. If the

Liberals are retnrned to power the police think some attempt may be mede, ‘but,’ an inspector remarked to your correspondent on the Ist inst., ‘we are ready for them now, and every man that comes monkeying with dynamite around public buildings will get the fate of Cunningham and Burton, or worse.’

Clearing out the Chinamen.

Phe following has been received from Roek Springs, Wyoming: The Central Pacific road yecently imported a large num- ber of Chinese to take the places of white men. On the 3rd inst., the entire force of white miners, 1150 strong, organized and armed with shot guns asd marched to Chinatown, After firing a volley into the air, the men reloaded and ordered the Chinamen to leave. The order was obeyed at once, the Chinamen fleeing to the hills like a dreve of sheep, closely pursued by the miners, who fired several volleys at the fugitives with fatal effect. The Chinese quarters were then set on fire and 359 houses owned by thecompany destroyed with their contents. The miners visited the various mining camps, unearthed all the Chinamen at work and told them to flee for their lives Of 400 Chinamep there on the morning of the 3rd inst., not One re mains; all are in the adjacent hills heading for Green River. Seven were killed out-

maby wounded. The miners quietly dis- persed after making sure of the departure of the celestials and all is quiet now.

A New Ironclad.

Venice, formerly a great commercial em- porium, is regaining her supremacy. An Italian ironelad was recently launched from the shipyards, amd the Pall Mal! Gazette says once again the old arsenal is thronged with workmen, and Venice, as queen of the sea, asserts herself more proudly than when her fleet was limited to gondolas and barcas, For dreamy beauty the capital of the old republic still holds the palm. But the stir of business and the wealth that comes with the state of employment will be welcome in a city where the picturesque had sunk into mere bankruptcy and de- spair.

Toe Sugar Beet.

California is coming forward with rapid strides as a successful cultivator of the sugar beet, and the manufacture of beet root sugar on the sunny slopes of the Paci- fic coast is looming up as a prolific and profitable industry. One factory at Alva- rado made 1,250 tons of refined beet root sugar this season, which is said to be four times greater than the total sorghum sugar in the United States. This factory has only been in operation six years, and its profits are stated to be $104,000 on an
