How They Do It:

One of the strongest points against the /present Ottawa Government is its marked increase of the public debt. Mr. Cart- wright has only been in office for four or five years, and he has been to London, England, three times to borrow money, without carrying on any great national work to completion. Some money has been spent upon the Canada Central, which seems now to be an abandoned work. Thousands have been expended on the Fort Francis Locks which will be useless as everybody now admits, thanks to Senator McPherson’s trenchant criticism of the Pre- mier’s policy in regard to that particular work. The Canada Pacific Railroad be- tween Manitoba and Lake Superior has been built, just as our Local Government undertook the Eastern Extension—here a little and there a little—a thing of shreds and patches. The Canada Pacific, between the two points we have named, has been not built, only a piece at each end, with 180 miles in the middle utterly untouched. So it has been with all the Government works. Yet without finishing anything, without making the works practically use- ful, the Government have sent over three times to borrow money from the London Capitalists, who succeeded in persuading Mr. Cartwright to adopt some new plan that resulted in our getting less net pro- ceeds than ever before.

The result of the Grit effort in the di- rection of the public debt, may be summed up thus :—

1872-3 $129,743,400 1873-4 141,163,500 1874-5 151,663,400 1875-6. 161,205,000 1876-7. 174,675,

Totai increase of debt since 1872-3, $44,- 932,400.

Deducting what are known as ‘“‘the assets,” Mr. Cartwright shows the net debt to be as follows :—

Or Vik. eee iat gael eestest sci 75,757 ,000 oe ant ae ee 75,859,300 me. seisequen: 78,209,7

This shows that the net debt of the Do- minion increased during the first six years of the Confederation under Sir John’s Ad- Duri Mr.

{ministration $24,000,000. ng Cartwright’s management the net debt in- ® | creased in four years $33,000,000. That is

GEORGE MA D (Union Bank), Agent for Prince Edward Isfand June, 1877—

to say the average yearly increase of the net debt under Sir John was $4,000,000. Under Mr. McKenzie it has been more than twice as much per annum— in actual figures $8,250,000.

Now, in order to see the full difference)

between the two administrations in this matter of the public debt, you must recol- lect that the present Government increased the taxes three millions of dollars more each year. Put the three millions of extra taxation to the $8,250,000 and you have the proper elements for a comparison be- tween the two Governments in the matter of the public debt. It will stand then— Sir John’s 4,000,000 of dollars increase per annum against Mr. McKenzie’s 11,250,000 dollars increase per annum.

The increase under Sir John was largely due to the Intercolonial Railway—one of the best, most substantial and cheapest roads on the Continent. That increase was altogether justifiable. For when Mr. Cart- wright went over to England on one of his borrowing expeditions, he issued a circular in which, referring to the debt contracted by the late Government, he said :—

‘*The whole of the debt has been incurred for legitimate objects of public utility.”

The conclusion of the whole matter of the public debt is that while the Grits de- nounced when in Opposition the increase of the public debt, they have, themselves, in- creased it, notwithstanding the higher taxes levied, at arate more than double that of the increase under Sir John.

The Depression Not Passing Away.

Those who seek to help the case of the fiy-on-the-wheel Government by represent- ing that the ‘‘ depression” of the time is rapidly passing away, will not find much to comfort them in the remarks made by Mr. R. B. Angus, General Manager of the Bank of Montreal, at the annual meeting a few days ago. Better authority as to the con- dition and prospect Of business in the Do- minion we could scarcely appeal to, and what view does Mr. Angus take! He says that the diminution in the value of banking business has been gradual throughout the year (closing 30th April last), that there- fore the full effects of it may not yet have been experienced, and that it is quite pos- sible that the profits of the coming year may be effected to a ter extent than were those of the past. While observing some favourable indications, he thinks it well to caution the shareholders ‘‘ not to look with too much expectation on the pro- bable results uf the immediate fom For knowledge of the facts upon w. an esti- mate pam must be based we back Mr. Angus i both the ‘‘ mixer and muddler” of the Finance Department and the philosopher at second hand who pre-

}sides over that of the Interior. —Mail.

Mr. Sinclair Declines.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dear Sir,—In Saturday’s Patriot I read an amusing ‘‘ declinin seiak.” It reminded me forcibly of a speech delivered by Peter Sin- clair, Esq., at the Murray Harbor Road meet- ing on the 7th inst.,—when the honorable ston came all the way from New Lon-

on to tell the intelligent ane of Murray Harbor Road that he did net know whether he would run for the County or not at the next Dominion Election !

I, for one,—who formerly thought Mr. Sin- clair an honest man,—begin to form rather a different opinion of him—knowing full well that if any man more than another desires the honor, that man is Peter Sinclair, Esq. Why, then, should Mr. Sinclair come to Murray Harbor Road, and tell the people that he did not seek re-election, and at the same time

raying for a man to put him in nomination.

The gallant Colonel McGill, with all his faults, declared manfully that he was going to contest the district ; and I for one would feel —if I had a ‘‘ spare vote”—that I was entitled te give it to the man that openly declared that he wanted a seat, in preference to one that was praying for a seat and had not the manli- ness to say so. His record (Sinclair's) every voter in P. E. Island is aware of.

Heating Towns by Steam.

The fact that gas and water have been so long supplied to residents of cities from a common centre, has naturally suggested to persons of advanced views the feasibility of supplying heat in the same way, by means of steam pipes. Some experiments which have been made in England with that view, have been sufficiently successful to en- courage further efforts in the same direc tion, and at Lockpork, in New York State, @ very successful trial of the heating of houses by steam from a common santos tein been had. An account of the Lockport experiment is given in a letter to the Lor- don Times, by a gentleman who has er- amined the works, and who expresses the belief that this novel application of steam is destined, in a few years, to completely revolutionize the heating of buildings in towns, a statement which does not pear too strong when the success of the Lock pork experiment is considered. It from this gentleman’s account of the Lock- port works that they were commenced last

ear, and during the late winter about 200 1ouses were heated from the central supply, through about three miles of piping, whee: ing from the boiler-house, containing two boilers 16 ft. by 5 ft., and one boiler 8 fr by 8 ft. These boilers were during the winter fired to a pressure of 35° Ib. to the inch, with a consumption of four tons af anthracite, costing $4.50 aton. During the summer but one boiler is fired, consumi a ton and a half of anthracite in 24 bouss, and a pressure of 25 lb. per inch is main. tained.

The Australian Cricket Club.

The Australian cricket club has given ag awful beating, by nine wickets to the best English eleven—the ‘‘ corn stalks” have whipped the ‘‘ burly” Englishmen. The London Standard devotes a long leader to the event. We read as follows :—

**The game commenced with a surprise for the spectators. Mr. W. G. Grace and Mr. Hornby, two of the finest bats in Eng- land, went to the wickets, to the bowling of Messrs. Allan and Boyle. The champion batsman made four off the first ball, but at the second was caught at square leg, amid murmurs of surprise from the spectators, and not a little, we should imagine, to the astonishment of the Australian team, who scarcely expected to see the ost formidable of all the Graces disposed of so easily. But another surprise was to come. Mr. Horn- by had made a few runs when a change of bowling took place, Mr. Spofforth relieving Allan. and clean bowling the Lancashire batsman in his second over. Mr. Webee came next, and was also bowled by Spof- forth, and then the game went on until the same bowler absolutely took three wickets in three successive balls—an almost unpre- cedented feat in a high class match like this. Well might the victorious Colonial bowler have said, parodying the words of Horatious, ‘“‘ What man of Marylebone comes next to taste Australian cheer ?” But the Club, of course, struggled on, being finally disposed of for 33 runs, about half, or even a third, of what they might reasonably have expected to :e2 placed to the account of Mr. W. G. Grace alone. Mr. Spofforth’s bowling, as shown by the an- alysis, was certainly most remarkable. Out of five overs and three balls he bowled three maidens ; only four runs were scored off him, and for these he took six wickets. The thunders of applause that greeted him when he walked back to the Pavilion were never better deserved.” —_— > «+ <p -o

Mr. K. F. Burns, ex-M. P. P., of Bath- urst, is to contest Mr. Anglin’s constituency in Gloucester, N. B. If Mr. Burns had carried out his intention of contesting the seat with Mr. Anglin last summer, tke Speaker might have had a narrow majority,
