[!THR FIAT OF THE TORONTO ” GLOBE. Tne editor of the Toronto Globe was felicitiously called by Goldwin Smith, the “power behind the throne.” Practically, he dictates the policy and the acts of the MackenziesCauchon Government. His fiat has gone forth The Globe has spoken. Prince Edward Island is not en- titled to representation in the Cabinet ot Canada. She ought not to expect re-

To men who, in politics, are not governed by the rules of morality and honor, this policy, doubtless, has its charms 28 well as its advantages. Carried out, Ontario — the Great Ontario—is at least temporarily mollified ; and Prince Edward Island is forced a step towards a union which she dees not care to enter; but which : the Globe and the Government have decided must be consummated.

presentation in the Cabinet of Canada. She is better without representation in the Cabinet of Canada. She will never, while the Mackenzie-Cauchon Govern- ment remains in power, obtain representa- tion in the Cabinet of Canadas. If her people foolishly imagine that they are ag- grieved ; if they,too, possess the “ sensitive- ness of small communities ;” if they are so A ambitious as to wish to cbtain greater in- ‘ fluence in the Cabinet Councils of the Dominion then they now possess, let them join the Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and consummate a “ Maritime Union.” This is the sub- stance of an article which appeared in the Toronto Globe—the great organ of the Mackenzie-Canchon Gevernment—on the 6th inst.

The Toronto Globe takes high ground. Mr. Mackenzie could never have promised the representatives of Prince Edward Island that their Province should be re- presented in the Cabinet so long as he remained in power—or if he did, he was laughing at and fooling them— because the Governor General~and he alone— has the power to nominate the Ministers of the Crown. The Governor General, says the Globe, is the sole judge of the fitness of his Ministers. If Sir John A. Macdonald be really guilty of the crimes laid to his charge by Mr. L. H, Davies and Mr. W. D. Stewart, he is not fit to be a responsible adviser of the representa» tive of the Crown. Even though the electors of Canada should be base enough to honor with their suffrages a man who has been proven—as Messrs. Davies and Stewart declare Sir John has been proven —zguilty of wholesale bribery and corrup- tion, that man can never have power to foist Protection upon the country; be- cause the Governor General is the sole judge of the fitness of his Ministers ; and, it is not likely that he will select a guilty criminal to be Premier of the Dominion. If Messrs. Stewart and Davies wish the ‘* Protection dodge” to succeed, they must cease blackening the character of ' Sir John A. Macdonald ; they must cease

declaring that Sir John must of necessity be Premier {should Mackenzie lose the Government. This is the clear inference we draw from the true statement of the Globe.

But although the statement of the Globe is correct it bears with special force only upon the selection of a Premier. When a Government resigns, the Crown reads fora leading politician—who has not been proven guilty of criminal acts—and re- quests him to form an Administration. If he succeed, the names of the members of the new Government are submitted to the Crown—and the Crown or its representa- tive approves or disapproves as he may judge respecting the fitness or unfitness of those selected for his approval. And if there be a vacancy in the Cabinet, the Premier submits the name of a member of the Senate or House ef Commons to the Governor for his approval or disap- proval. It matters not to the Governor- General—whether the proposed Minister comes from Ontario or Manitoba, from (Quebec or Prince Edward Island—if he be satisfied that the Premier’s nominee is a man honorable enough to be a Cabinet Minister, and capable enough of perform~ ing the duties appertaining to the vacant office he forthwith makes the appointment. So that the Grit party might—without in- terference with the prerogatives of the Crown--—promise the representatives of Prince Edward Island that their Pros vince should be represented in the Do- minvion Cabinet so long as they remain in power. And Premier Mackenzie might, without infringing the rights of the Gov- eruor-General, just as easily fulfill his party’s promise by submitting to Earl Dafferin the name of Senator Haythorne, or Daniel Davies, or Peter Sinclair,—all capable and honorable men—to fill the seat left vacant by Mr. Laird, as he sub- mitted the name of that politieal dreamer —Mr. Mills of Bothwell. Would Mr. Mackenzie dare to offer Mr. Geoffrion’s vacant seat in the Cabinet to the repre. sentative of any other Province than that Quebec? Would he dare to subs stitute one of the Cabinet representa— tives of Ontario for a representation of thisIsland? He dare not. Either of those Provinces would resent such an insult by forcing all its representatives to unite in opposing the Government which offered it. And the Government would fall. It is because we are numerically weak,—beeause, though we may make, we cannot break the Government of the Dos ainion—that we have been cajoaled and

Our duty, under the circumstances, is clear, We must resent the insult and wrong to which we have been subjected. We must oppose this policy of force by every means in our power. Our represen- tatives should act in opposition to the Government, a8 one man. Queen’s County should elect Mr. Pope by a unanimous vote. The Toronto Globe taunts us with “ wasted strength.’” We must show that our strength is not altogether gone We must send our strongest man to Ottawa. Our only, our last, chance to assert our right to REPRESENTATION IN THE CABINET OF THE DOMINION, is the coming election. At a general elec- tion other issues will be up. We must act promptly.

AN AUDACIOUS DENIAL.

We did not imagine that even the Patriot would have had the effrontery to deny that the Government, if permitted, would have raised the tariff last session. It is notorious that the Government had their tariff prepared and ready to lay be- fore Parliament ; and that the Maritime Province members—headed by A. G. Jones, of Halifax—combined, and threat- ened to withdraw their support if the ob- noxious tariff were not suppressed. Con- sequently, the Government suppressed it, and returned to their former tariff—which, by the way, is two and a half per cent. higher than the tariff under Sir John A: Macdonald. Our readers will remember— it was about the time Mr, Owen Connolly paid some $30,000 into the Customs iu one day, and that all our merchants were straining themselves to the utmost to get their goods out of bond before the higher duties were levied. We have no donbt that Mr. Mackenzie was “ worried half to death” by the Protectionists. The charge we make is, that though profes— sing Free Trade principles, he weakly yielded to the demands of Workman—the man he helped to elect—and others among his Protectionist followers. Where he yielded once, he may yield again; and Jones and his ‘contingent’? may not again be on hand to protect our interests. This is what we should like the farmers of Prince Edward Island to remember. The Patriot editor evidently sees that the “ Protection dodge ” is a failure. Heis, in consequence, violent and reckless.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

By a dispatch received to-day, it is reported that Tilden has 184 electoral votes, sure; that Hayes has 163 electoral votes, sure ; and that there are 22 electo ral votes doubtful. The result wiil not be positively known for a day or two. It is probable, however,that Tilden is elected He wants only one vote.

The accession of the Democrats will be, a good thing for Canada and our Island.

The Democrats are Free Traders. With the Democrats in power in the States and the Liberal Conservatives in power in Canada, we will very soon have Reciprocal Free Trade. Workman, Devilin. and other Protectionist, will then be without a leg to stand upon.

THE CAMPAIGN.

Ar the meeting in New Glasgow, Mr. Pope had adecided majority; at St. Ann’s, the people are unanimous for Pope; at Clifton, Welsh will probably have a small majority, Rustico will throw a solid vote for Pope. At the Springton meeting there was a large majority in favor of Pope. The warmth of Mr. Pope’s recep- tion by the people of the country Distriets exceeded his most sanguine expeetations In Charlottetowa Mr. Pope's support increases daily.

INFORMATION FOR THE FARMER.

‘*The ExaMINER says that Protection of our manufacturers means ‘robbery of our farmers.” Very littie more than a month ago Sir John A. Macdonald deciared at Simcoe that he is in favor of protecting our manufacturers. According to the Examin- ER's own admission then, Sir John goes in for robbing the farmer. The Examiner is to come out three times a week to give this robber of the farmer another follower. The man who enlists under a rotten leader is—what?”

We

Tuts ig from the Weekly Patriot. have a short reply for our contemporary. The EXAMINER supports Mr. Pope be. cause he is a “ Free Trader” ; because he will oppose the “rotten” combination which protects the Grit oil refiners of Ons tario by the imposition of fifteen cents per gallon on kerosene, which has raised the tariff on everything imported, and which would have protected, hed it been allowed by the Maritime Provinces’ members, the

various manufacturing interests of the Do. minion. The man who while shouting “Free Trade,’’ enlists under and supports a “ rotten’ Protectionist Government, is —what? For our part we follow no leader in a policy of Protection ; and we are assured that Mr. Pope wil) never sanction Protection under Mackeuzie or

| Hon. Mr. Bagcken, having been called | upon to speak on the matter before the | meeting, explained the position which he | now occupied, and the course which he purseed in the late contest for the | local election. In that contest he had been | defeated, and as he had then made his pos litical bed, he was now manly enough to lie upon it. He had been offered the nomin- ation to run with Mr. L. H. Davies, asa candidate for election, on a certain plat- form, but refused it, and was now prepared to take the consequences. fle had attended meetings during the} present campaign, with Mr. Pope, at Vernon River Bridge and Pownal, and heard the old anti-railway story repeated by Mr. Welsh. It was said by Mr. Welsh’s friends that it was not safe tosend Mr: Pope to Ottawa, because if it were not for the constitutional check, he would introduce the Denominational School System in all the Provinces of the Do- minion. Put that assertion beside

THE POLICY OF THE MACKENZIE PARTY,

This was the ‘very thing which the new Governor of the North-West, himself, had tried to do, when he, as a member of the Government petitioned Her Majesty to use her influence with New Brunswick to change her Non-sectarian School System, and io adopt the denominational one. Who used his influence in fastening the Denominational System upon the North- West?- Did not the late representative for | Queen’s County doso? Yet nothing was said by his friends against the course which he pursued! Why then bring such a charge against Mr. Pope? Where were

the friends of Secuiar Schools when the six | representatives of this Island, in the House | of Commons, went further than ever Mr. Pope and himself had gone, in favor of Des | nominational Sehools, and |

| IRRETRIEVABLY FASTENED THEM UPON THE | NORTH~WEST. |

}

Mr. Pope and himself were pointed at by their political opponents as unsound on the school question, and not to be trusted; but those who made the charge did all in their power to support the Mackenzie govern- ment, which did so much to establish Sep~ erate schools! Mr. Laird on the first ops portunity took a Goyernorship. Against | this he had nothing to say. But he could | not forget that Mr. Laird had NEVER CALLED A PUBLIC MEETING or consulted his constituents on any mat- ter from the time ie was elected till he re- ceived the present appointment. Without saying @ word to them, he quietly accepted the Governorship, and went to the North. West. He who fastened the Sectarian System of Education upon the vast North- West, out of which several Provinces would yet be formed, did so, without being found fault with, by his late friends and support- ers. Where was the consistency of the lat. ter now in attacking Mr. Pope? Were they not GUILTY OF THE GROSSXST INCONSISTENCY ? As the people had now settled tiie School Question, why should not Mr. Pope be sent to the Dominion House of Commons? O, said they, he (Mr. P.) was a supporter of Sir John A: McDonald! Yet no person would deny that no man had done more for the Dominion than the latter. In fact, he [Sir John ] had been almost the father and maker of Canada. And he was neither greedy nor selfish. Ever since 1852, he had a hand in almost every administra- tion in the Government of Uanada, and was recognized as one of the ablest politicians in the country. As a recognition of his services, he received the title of Right Honorable from her Majesty the Queen, and a seat in the Privy Council of England. His scheme for the construction of the Pacific Railway was wellsdevised, and cals culated to encourage emigration to people the great North West. But he (Mr. B.) did not approve of all that had been done by Sir John. He should never have taken so large a sum of money from Sir Hugh Allan to carry the elections. in doing so, Sir John was wrong. But the people them- selves had always encouraged the expendi, ture of large sums of money at elections ; and the blame lay partly upon themselves. The Reformers professed to be AWFULLY INDIGNANT. that corruption should have been allowed to exist at all ; and whenthey assumed the reins of power, lifted their hands and thanked Heaven that they were honest. In fact, they almost burst with indignation against Sir John and his Government. After denouncing that gentleman in the most violent manner, they declared that although he had been an old and able public servant, and although the Statutes of Canada teemed with his labours, to the wall he must go. Ihey then declared it necessary to go to the polls, in order to have a purer and more independent House of Commons. They did so, and said that they had thereby raised THE STANDARD OF PURITY. But when judicial inquiry was made into the returns, NO FEWER THAN FORTY of them were found to have procured a majority by bribery and corruption. In this way, they proved themselves more corrupt than the man whom they had con- demned. Suppose a Judge who condemns a manu to be confined in a felon’s cell fora dark crime, to go the very nex? day and commit that crime himself, Which would you say was the worse of the two, the Judge or the condemned felon? You would certainly answer that the Judge was the greater criminal of the two. So with the Mackenzie Party, which had condemned Sir John A. McDonald ; they proved thems selves worse than he whom they had des nounced. No less than forty of them had lost their seats through corrupt practices. ‘These were the men who had been Sir John’s most violent accusers. One of the ablest of them had been condemned by the Courts to occupy a position on a par with that of the negroes in the Southern States, previous to the late civil war, by being disfranchised, and prevented from holding any public oilice, whatever, for eight years. “Give me an opportunity ” said Sir John “and I will prove that for every dollar ex

There was no ground, whatever, to hope that Mr. Welsh would ever occupy a seat in the Cabinet. Where were Hon, Senator Haythorne, Hon, D. Davies, and Mr. P. Sinclair? Were they not fit men to occupy the seat vacated by Mr. Laird? The latter got his price by being appointed to the Governorship of the North-West, and the people of this Island might whistle jigs to a mile-stone, to get back the seat in the Cabinet, as long as the | present party were in power. There was now no man at the elbow of the Premier to see that our interest was properly looked after. We were now under the necessity of applying to the Ministers of Nova Scotia end New Brunswick, to have our wants at- tended 8:0. And what did they care about us? Mr. Pope declared in his card, that he would insist upon this [sland having a re- presentation in the Cabinet, and its full | rights. The seat vacated by Mr. Laird had | been filled by appointing to it Mr, Mills of Bothwell, a thorough Ontario Statesman, who opposed the granting of Better Terms to Nova Scotia, and who was of opinion that

WE WANT A GOOD, SOUND, TRUE OPPO- SITION IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, among our representatives, Our present | six members in that House, were as much bound together, by interest, tgsupport Mc- Kenzie, as any party ever was in our Local | House to support their leader. In order that our interoets suould not be neglected, as in the matter of the Winter Boat, a stirs ring and powerful opposition was required on the floor of the House of Commons. Could a more independent man—one who could neither be bought nor. silenced—be elected to represent us in the House of Commons than the Hon. J. ©. Pope? He} thought not. O08! eaid the Grits, the the self-styled Reformers, *‘ we are a hap- py and united family, don’t disturb us, leave us alone.”’ For the best interest of the country, it was now necessary to send an independent and determined man to re» present us in the House of Commons at Ottawa. We wanta man who is not afraid to tell the government when they do wrong. Look through the Debates of the House of Commons, and ask what part our six representatives have taken in them? Their speeches were few and far between. It could easily be seen that it was a great mistake to have our six representatives all on one side, as there was no one to stir them up to duty and to diligence. Sir. John McDonald is now fast rising in popular favor. The majority on the Gov. ernment side is now only about forty mem, bers.

THE GRITS HAVE LOST NEARLY ALL THE SEATS WHICM HAVE LATELY BEEN VACATED. The people have found out that the party that were loud in their cry of corruption and Gishonesty, were corrupt and dis- honest themselves. Let not our people, therefore, be carried away by the cry of corruption against Sir John A. McDonald. The latter is now one of the most popular men in the Dominion of Canada. Mr. Pope’s predilections were in favor of Sir Jobn and his party, but he would not pledge himself to give that gentleman his ungualified support if elected to repres sent the people of Queen’s County in the
