A Political Review.

PRINTING AND STATIONERY,

which cost $10,185.06 in 1878, has been’ re- oer year by year, being only’ $4,460.61 in 85. ; RECAPITULATION. : We have thus gone.over the Revenue and Expenditure of the ‘two Governments whose course we arereviewing; dealing with the principal items in what we consider the fairest possible manner, and from our comparative statements, all fair minded men must inevita- bly beled to the conclusion that the present

| Goverhaseitt is the one which has held the welfare of the people always in view, that it has been wisely economical,’ without. stinting the public service, that it has been’ the true friend of -the people. But there is yet an- other method, usually adopted in campaign disquisitions, and that is a comparison of the last years in which the respective govern- ments held power, and this method will show the present Government in even a stronger and more favorable light than the method we have followed through. this review. We will, therefore, compare .the years 1878 and 1885, the last years in which tho Davies and Sullivan Governments respectively held power. You will remember that the Davies Govern- ment was in power the first two months of 1879, but we have charged all the transactions of that year to the present Government. Had we not done so, the comparison would be still greater in our favor.

Or $182,516.78 more to our ‘credit. at Ottawa than under the) Davies’ Government... If Davies, with the Assessment. Act to assist him in making revenue meet expenditure, went out of power with a balance of $79,222. - 09. (see deficits). of expenditure against: the Province, .and. Sullivan without that . Act, goes out of power with a balance of ‘$72,251.87 againstthe Province, ‘it’ shows‘ that not only has Sullivan;carried: ‘on the Government, for

$60,000 less per year than Davies, but that,

he has also reduced the balance against the Province by $1,612.73, and yet the Opposition declaim in’ thundering tones about the *in- debtedness of the Province. Had they gone out of power in 1878 with a clean balance sheet, and left their.successors no debt to pay, there would now’ be a handsome: sum in the provincial treasury, understand from, the foregoing statements, successful contradiction of which:we challenge.

But supposing, for arguments’ sake, that an assessment were now levied to pay this bal- ance of $72,000, the people would be no worse off than had they been paying a small rate of taxation yearly, as they have had the use of that amount during the years in which no as- sessment has been levied. So that it follows, looking at the question in what light we may, the people of this Province have been vastly better off during the past seven years, under our present rulers, than they would have been under the old regime,

CONCLUSION. In bringing this article to a close, very few words of review are necessary. “The foregoitig arguments and comparisons have amply _ proy-

ed to you that the present local administra- tion is one whose career has been marked by

the practice of the most rigid and careful

economy consistent with ‘the advancement of the country; and by retrenchment: in every

ssible avenue, thus lightening your: burdens, while ruling the Province in the most judicious manner, developing its resources and opening up its lands to settlement by the construction of. new roads and bridges, and more widely extending the facilities for. the education of your children. It cannot, therefore, fail to commend itself to your judgment, and to re- eeive your cordial “support in’ the coming struggle. No Government of P. E. Island within your memories has been distinguished by so great a regard) for the wel- fare of the people they represent, and for careful and economical use of the public funds. By the collection of debts due the Province, they have been enabled to do away with taxation, and by reducing the salaries of many officials, by the operation of the Statute Labor Act, by retrenchment in the administration of justice and legislation

and other branthes, by avoiding extrava-

um can clearly see and |

;gance in the public works of the Province, and in many other-ways to which your atten- tion has been called in this article, they have been enabled to encourage and assist our farm- ers in their work, and to raise the education- - al standard of this Island far above that of

any other Province of this Island.

So much for the past. Then comes the question—What is the future policy of the Government? As in the past, it is to advan- tageously and judiciously administer all branches of the public service, to collect debts due the Province, and thus avoid. taxation, Large amounts are due from the Dominion Government, ‘and it will be the work of the next administration to recover them. Messrs. Sullivan, and Ferguson have handled our - claims for the fulfilment of the Terms of Union —as regards winter’ communication—in the most careful and .masterly manner, and with the brightest prospects of success, and to tie their hands, at this stage of negotiations—by electing an’ Assembly opposed to them-~ would be an act of ingratitude on the part of the Island electors. A great exercise of statesmanship and diplomacy is yet necessary to the final adjustment and settlement of ‘the question of Winter Communication, and. com- pensation for the non-fulfilment of the Terms of Union up to the present time, and no men are better qualified in every way to act on behalf of the Island, in this weighty question, than the gentlemen now at the head of the Government—the gentlemen who, at the foot of the throne, so ably championed our claims, -—Messrs. Sullivan and Ferguson. One thing must press itself on your minds, and that is, that a “Local Government nob in sympathy with the, Dominion Government, w&l not be met at Ottawa by. an administration. bearing the Subway in one hand and Compensation ‘Money in the other. If our people are not blind to their own interests, or swayed by the declamation of demagogues who. seek to lift themseves into power over the unfortunate ~ ruin and downfall of tried and proved men,— then they will handsomely support those can- didates who are the open and avowed follow- ers of tho present Governmnet, and send them back to Parliament for the next four years. Tf the people fail to do this, it will show that they care little for the carrying out of the Terms ‘of Confederation, that all their cries against taxation were but delusive mockeries, that the numberless indignation meetings of 1878 were but so many acted lies, and that they are contented to fall back into the old political ruts out of which the present Govern- ment lifted them, and to jog and jolt along as their grandfathers did. : :

The policy of the present Government. is clearly defined and highly practical, [t_in- cludes in its method of raising a revenue, the collevtion of debts due ‘the vines ; it will
