LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Mr. Davies’ “isrepresentatioa.

—_———

Sir,—In a late issue of the Weekiy Patriot there is a report of Mr. L. H. Davies’ speech in the House of Commons at Ottawa, on the piers of P. E. Island, and as the report is said to be taken from the House of Commons Debates, I presume it is correct. | was surprised at some of the assertions in that speech, but, after all, they are very characteristic of the hon. gentleman who made them. With your permission, | will point out one or two of them. Inthe first place, Mr. Davies has given his friends in the local legislature a bad slap, for he says that the Government of P. E. Island would not sign a receipt in| full for the amounts they received on ac-; count of the piers. His friends in the House of Assembly have asserted time and '

swore, this session, that the Government of

How will they veconcile these contrary statements? Ther both cannot be true. Then Mr. Davies, a little further on, says: ** So we stand now with $75,000 and $50,- 000 paid to the local Government for these wharves.” Where did Mr. Davies get his information ? Can he not be correct even on a matter of this kind, that could be so easily ascertained from the blue books / No;

that he cannet tell the truth, even when his misstatement is so glaring that aay school boy. can detect its falsity. But these are not the mischievous part of that speech of Mr. Davies. He says, ‘‘l wish to remind the committee that some years azo the Government of the Dominion

piers or structures—wharves we called them—and assumed them as Dominion’ works. [am not going into the question whether that was a wise or an unwise policy on the part of the Government.” Well, now, just think of a representative from Prince Edward Island making such a state-

ment in the House of Commoris! The} | pdlicy that gave to this Island over $77,000) in cash is here declared to be open to ques- | tion. By whom? Mr. Davies, the mem-'! ber for Queen’s County! Did auyone ever , hear of a representative objecting to money; being received by his constituency? Mr. , Davies knew very well, when he made that | statement, that his constituents would have. to pay part of that $77,000 in taxation if the Local Government had not successfully fought the battles of this Province, and ob- tained those refunds. And see how he tries to prejudice the members of the House of Commons against the wharves by calling them ** wooden.” You can almost) imagine the sneer with which the members from Ontario will regard those ‘* wooden structures.” And how hard it will he for the Dominion Government to satisfy their supporters from Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and the Northwest Territories

works that Mr. Davies dves not believe they ought to take charge of. And yet!

. . . . ! Mr. Davies is a gevtleman who is said to,

represent the true interests of this Island !) Again, after recess, Mr. Davies had some-} thing to say about the wharf at Mount| Stewart. Ihave heard of people ‘* being | damned with faint praise,” but if ever! there was a case of that kind, it was when! Mr. Davies was urging the claim of Mount Stewart fora wharf. He said, ‘** Mount Stewart village comprises 1000 to 1500 in- habitants,” another of his reckless asser- tions, ‘* and is situated at the head of the Hillsborough River, about 18 miles from Charlottetown. Of course the river isa tidal river. J was not aware that the Do- minion Government had at any tune, or in! any Province, constructed piers in places Like that. I shall be very glad to learn that i was wrong in my opinion.” A little further on he continues: ‘‘ The impression prevails in local Government circles that owing to the decision given by the Supreme Court of Canada in the case of, Helmuth (?) and the Crown, the Dominion Government have the duty thrust upon them of constructing all piers and wharves | in all tidal mvers. In that opinion I do not coincide.”’ The italics in the quotations’ are mine. Now, what can we think of such a splendid advocate? Does he not put the case strung, oh! my friends? He is most anxious to get the Dominion to build a wharf at Mount Stewart; but “‘ he was not aware that the Dominion Govern- ment at any time, or in any province, con- structed piers in places like that.” The Minister of Public Works having listened to the claim of our representative, was not prepared to give an answer, but Sir Hector tuld the hon. gentleman that the Dominion had built wharves on the Saguenay River. It is no wonder that Mr. Davies did not get a favorable answer to his request. He put forward the claim of Mount Stewart in a half-hearted, miserable, doubting way, and what he said was enough to prejudice the Government against granting the re- quest of the petition that has been forwarded by the people. Why did he not show the amount of produce that is annually shipped at Mount Stewart? Why did he not tell the committee of the large number of farmers who depend on that place for shipping their surplus products? No; that would likely have some effect on the Gov- ernment, and they might build the wharf that the’ people so urgently need. Mr. Davies, in this instance, has shown that when solid, useful work is reyuired he is not the man to doit. Mr. Ferguson his got Hickey’s Wharf repaired, aud large grants, through his influence, were voted, the other day, for China Point and Port Selkirk wharves. If the people of Mount. Stewart, instead of going to Messrs. Davies and Welsh to get their wharf, had got Mr. Ferguson te take up their case, he, no doubt, would have beer as successful for them as he was in getting grants for other places.

This should be a lesson to the people of Mount Stewart, who voted for Davies and

Much good does it do them to hear that Mr. Davies has been up in Toronto making great speeches; or, that he lias been advocating the abolition of the duty on Indian corn, so that the farmers of Ontario can feed their fat cattle at a less expense; or that he is very anxious that the poor fishermen and lumbermen of Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick should not pay too high for the oats, they get from this Island.
