THE DAILY EXAMINER,

insist on the fulfilment of the Terms of Union in the matter of Winter Communication ; and in the expenditure of the public funds the Government will be guided by principles of economy and retrenchment, while guarding all branches of the public service against ineffi- ciency. So that the bugbear of taxation can- not, so far as it is now possible to foresee, be ever again trotted out to frighten the electors of this Island into buttoning up their pockets against the evil day when the assessor and taxgatherer may be seen, hand in hand, roam- ing over the-land

On the other hand, the opposition have enunciated no new policy, so that we are left to infer that they will follow their old policy— namely, the raising of a considerable part of the revenue by direct taxation ; and that they will employ the most: extravagant methods in the disbursement of the public money. Intel- ligent electors, which will you support ?

PROVINCIAL ELECTION |

Liberal - Conservative Candidates for the City:

Hon. NEW McLeop, PATRICK BLAKE, Esq.

THE DAILY EXAMINER.

JUNE 7, 1886.

The Opposition Platform.

Tue Patriot of Saturday evening contains a string of propositions on the strength of which it asks the electors to vote for the Opposition candidates and place Hon. Mr, Yeo in power.

The most of these propositions refer to the finances of the Province; and _ the

Patriot states that on the 31st December last the Sullivan-Ferguson debt was over

$120,000.

This is not true. But suppose we admit that it is,—How much better off would the people of.this Province be if the Opposition were in power? This is the question for the electors to consider. It is not whether or not the Province isin debt; it is whether or not the debt would be larger or smaller if the other party were in power ?

The Province was in debt when the Opposition left office, though they wrung rest unwilling people taxes to the amount of many thousands of dollars.

The Province is in debt now, but—the Sullivan Ferguson Government having remitted all taxes—the money remains in the pockets of the people, and the people are so much the better off on account of it.

The Expenditure of the Sullivan Fergu- son Government last year was less. than that of the Opposition, when they were in power, by $67,815.54—though the Sullivan Ferguson Government paid for education $43,766.72 more than their predecessors.

In view of this indisputable fact, is it to be supposed that the people would have been better off, or the debt of the Province smaller than it is, had they permitted the opposition to remain in power ?

Or would it be wise to drive out,of office the economists of the present administra- tion, in order that the spendthrifts and taxationists of the former administration may again be invested with power to spend and tax?”

What farmer, having discharged a servant. |. whom he found he could not trust, and obtained 2 careful and trustworthy one, would turn the latter off and again employ the former, on the plea that he was getting getting into debt? Any prudent farmer would say, ‘‘ that is a good reason why I should hold on to my careful; trustworthy and economical man.” And what the prudent farmer would say with respect to his servant, the prudent people of Prince Edward Island will say with respect to the Government, and wily accordingly vote for the candidates who sup- port the Sulivan-Ferguson administration.

But, it may be said, Mr. Yeo is a more prudent man than Mr. Davies. That pro- bably is true; but the self-same political harpies who obtained fat pickings from Mr. Davies remain to obtain fat pickings from Mr. Yeo, should he, unfortunately for the Province, obtain a majority in the Legisla- ture as a result of the impending ¢lection. The hero of the big bill for stationary and pen knives is on hand, the political car- penter is to the front, the manipulators of marble ranges and Chances glass are as ready

as ever to take advantage of their opportun- ities; and Mr. Yeo, owing his position to these men, and depending upon them for it, would have to yield to their demands for ‘‘ political spoil”—-spoil ob- tained at the expense of the taxpayers !

After all, though the taxes have been re- mitted, the Province is not now running into debt as rapidly as it was when the

Oppositionists were in office. In {1878 the deficit was $21,448.95—though $34,216.32 were taken from the people in taxes. Laat year it was $18,095.31—though the present Government did not take from the people, in taxes, a single cent,

And what does the debt of the present Government’ amount to? Ags we have al- ready demonstrated the sum which would annually be saved if the Legislature were reduced to ene chamber would more than pay the interest of it !

But it puzzles the Opposition mind to find out how Mr. Sullivan is going to ends meét by obtaining payment of debts due the Province. The Opposition were

ly as it was not specially granted by Par- liament ;- but it was obtained nevertheless. Reasoning from this fact, the electors will probably-conclude that the additional amount which Mr. Sullivan hopes to secure will also be forthcoming. If it is not forth- coming, the people will know who to blame : those who are striving, with all their might, to prevent the Government from ob- taining it,—those who take pains to let the Dominion Government know that the people of Prince Edward Island do not expect to get it.

Range Lights.

In compliance with a petition forwarded to the Department, the Agent at Charlotte- town has been instructed to report with reference to the erection of range lights at the port of Grand River, in King’s County. It is considered that one light placed at Red Point, and the other at the point of the beach, would meet the require- ments of the place. As Mr. Lord is an efficient and painstaking officer, we have no doubt but the proper site will be selected. Properly located range lights at this Port would prove of great advantage, especially to those engaged in the fisheries. We hope to see, also, steam communication established between Murray Harbour, Mon- tague, Georgetown, Cardigan, Dundas, Annandale, and other eastern ports.

More Savings Banks.

We are informed that it is the inten- tion of the Dominion Government to estab- lish Post Office Savings Banks at Souris, Cardigan, Montague and Murray Harbor. We are glad to hear this. Farmers and others in the eastern part of the Island are prospering ; and taking the large business done at the recently established Summer- side Savings Bank as a criterion, we are led to belieye that not only are our farmers and artizans able to earn a comfortable livelihood, but are also able to lay by a por- tion of their earnings fora rainy day. In view of this fact, we hope to see Savings Banks. established at various industrial centres throughout the Island.

{SpeciaL DespATCHES TO THE EXAMINER. ] The “ Standard ” Speaks.

Lonvon, June 7.

The Standard discussing the fisheries dis- pute, says: ‘‘We deprecate precipitate and offensive action with regard to the fisheries controversy. There is certainly no desire in London and, we think, none in Washing- ton to have two friendly but interested nations involvedin a quarrel over a rather

triflmg dispute between fishermen on the Atlantic coasts. However, while the treaty of 1818 remains in force the

Canadians have a right to demand its strict observance. It isnot to be supposed that Canadians will yield their valuable rights without some equivalent. Concessions on both sides are necessary. The matter does not directly concern England, but we are bound to show firmness in our decisions. Canadians look to us for support and they ought to receive it. We would rather that the dispute had not occurred, but as it has arisen we cannot help ourselves. Any- thing would be better than leading our- Colonies to believe that they cannot rely upon the assistance and moral support of Great Britain.

Liberal-Conservative'Mass Meeting.

Hatirax, June 7.

The great lLiberal-Conservative mass meeting took place in the Academy of Music on Saturday night last. The house was packed, and the greatest enthusiasm was manifested.

Stirring addresses were delivered by Hon. Mr. Thompson and Hon. Mr. Mc- Lelan, who thoroughly ridiculed the cry of “*Secession,” and. effectually exposed its utter holiowness and hypocrisy. Whilst Mr. Thompson confined himself largely to proving the soundness of his party’s policy, Mr. McLelan delved into elaborate financial arguments, by which he proved that Nova Scotia had already obtained from the Do- minion Government two million dollars more than her share of debt, and that Grit politicians are prepared to sacrifice their present inter-provincial trade of twenty uiillion dollars for the uncertainties of Reciprocity with the United States.

Mr. McLelan also made the announce- ment that the ‘‘ Short Line”’ railroad from Montreal to Moncton would be running in eighteen months hence.

A Nova Scotia Politician Gone.

Truro, N. S8., June 7.

The Hon. John B. Dickey, Legislative Councillor and ex-Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, is dead. A peculiarity of his career was that he monopolized the distinc- tion of being the only man inthe world who had ever been expelled from the posi- tion of Speaker of a Legislature.

YARD EMPLOYES.

Orange workmen employed on Queen’s Island shipyards, Belfast, Ireland, on Fri- day last, attacked the navvies employed by the harbour commissioners, and after over- eo them and beating them badly

rove them into the water. It was with the greatest difficulty that the injured, ex- hausted and struggling navvies were rescu- ed. Six were found to be so seriously hurt that they had to be removed to hospitals. One navvie is still missing, and it is be- lieved he was drowned. The Orangemen made the assault because the nayvies, it was alleged, had previously attacked some Loyalists for aspersing the Home Rule movement.
