I feel to-night, as | have for a long time past, that until we have the proposed con nection made with the mainland of the Do- minion, we are not, to the fullest extent, part and parcel of the great Confederation. 1 crossed the Straits at the Capes in the year 1853 or 1854, and I crossed it again

During my first visit, I had to take sleigh from Cape Tormentine to Lewiston, a long distance in the winter season. All thatis now changed. You can now ride in a comfortable railway ca from the Intercolonial right down to the

the New Brunswick side of the Strait. and when you arrive on the P. E. KE. Island side y m can take a comfortable

My Dear

Referring to our several conversations, and especially to the one of to-day, on your return from the South, I desire to repeat that the Government has shown its interests in your

Subway already, by the expenditure last year.

How LAN,

rhe Government continues its interes and is encouraged to make further examinatioas and surveys, and to submit those already

made, as well as those propose ad to be made, to + Board of Civil Engineera accustomed to hydraulic works, and works altogether Y p LDALLYy in the Water, With a View ot ascertaining--Ist,the feasibility of construction; 2nd, the durability : 3rd, the danger of injury or destruction from any known causes; and ith, tl ost. This all important point will be strictly scrutinized in Parliament, and it must depend on the amount necessary for the oustrucition of the Subway, whether the representatives of the people will consent to

“ Ontario is robbed for the benefit of the Smaller and Poor- er Provinces.”

What Sir Richard says :

‘* And it will be further seen that the bulk of the expendi- dure, I may say every shilling of the expenditure on the Northeest and on the Pacitic Railway is contributed by the Province of Ontario, from which { have the honor to come.”

What M. C. Cameron says :

‘““ We have in Ontario to build our own railroads, and are tax- ed for building roads in the Eastern Provinces. If we lived in those provinces, our railroads would be built out of the public funds. In 1884 the Govern- ment local railroads in the EKast- ern Provinces cost $8,000,000. He protested.

After declaving that John’s rule was one of unparalleled dis- aster,” and that the policy of Sir John hag been such as to destroy our shipping and our trade, and to ‘‘ exasperate the great Republic of the United States, so much so that to-day their ports are virtually closed against us, pending, of course, the defeat of Sir John Macdonald’s Ministry on 22nd inst.,” these sapient candidates con- clude é

‘* Tf you do not want to be excluded, com- mercially, from the outside world, and sub- jected to the most abject misery at home; and if you want the terms of Confederation car- ried out by the building of the Subway, and a heavy steamer to ply during its construction, if you want to sell your fish, your potatoes, horses, cattle and sheep, free of duty to the United States, and if you wish to avert hos- tilities with that great country heretofore our benefactor; give us your support and influence in the present contest, and thus assist us giv- ing control of the destinies of our country to the most brilliant of Canadian statesmen, the Honorable Edward Blake.”

This circular is, no doubt, one of the causes of the revulsion of public opinion in King’s County against the Grit candidates. A few short months ago the strongest charge the Grits could make against the Govern- ment was that they had not enforced the Fishery regulations and the Treaty of 1818 with sufficient vigor and severity. Now Messrs. McIntyre and Robertson tell the electors that the Government have, by their policy, exasperated ‘‘ the Great Republic,” that to hostilities the electors must support Edward Blake. This means: (1) that which the Grits will

not admit —that our fisheries have been too carefully guarded by the Government ; and (2) that the Hon. Edward Blake will ‘‘avert hostilities’ by giving up our fisher- to the free unhindered use of the Americans! The electors of King’s are not the men to yield their invaluable rights without a struggle; and therefore they

Winter Communication.

Now that we have railways to each of the | Capes and an organized force of ice boat-

|men who make trips from both sides almost |

every day, we are apt to forget the delays and struggles of the past. The following remembrancer is from the Prince Edivard Island Gazette, April 14th, 1821 :

“The mail made up at the Post Office, upon | the Ist inst., was delayed by the state of the | ice for some days at the Wood islands. How- jever, Mr. Smith, the condactor, proceeded with two men, at great haszard, and returned | on Wednesday last, coasting the shore from | the Wood Islands round into the harbour’s mouth, and brought with him the January mails. We find nothing later from Europe ; than we before received.”
