POLICY OF THE MINISTRY.

*“We have in this country at the present mo- moment NO IDEA of having a system of Free Trade.” —Hon. A. McKenzie at Toronto.

“The policy of the Government is deter- mined opposition to the Opposition”.- -Pre- mier’s Speech at the Drill Shed.

In other words, the policy of the Gov- ernment is to slander their opponents and

do nothing for the good of the country.

THE OPPOSITION PLATFORM.

A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF THE TARIFF.

To make the duties fall more equitably.

To make it the interest of the United States to accord Reciprocity.

To revive the languishing West India Trade.

To remove the present barriers to the de- velopment of our Agricultural, Mining and other Natural resources ; and gen- erally

To encourage Home Industries with Home Markets for Home Produce.

To promote our Fishing interests and pro- tect the rights of our Fishermen.

**Wecan well understand that we may raise the duty on woollen, cotton and other goods, but lower the duty on articles of general consumption which we cannot pro- duce, and the volume of taration may be LESS IN FACT, although it may be raised, at any given time, higher than it was before. If a man were obliged to pay a cent more for his cotton, and had a cent taken off his tea, it would be found, by calculation, that he was a gainer by the operation.” —Sir John in Parliameit.

MR. TILLEY’S PLANK.

Mr. Tiuiey then took up the pubiie cx- penditure, showing that an average expen- diture of $22,500,000 was all that was necessary, and’ the expenditure ought to have been kept within that, instead of an average, as it has been, of $24,000,000. The policy of the Opposition was Nor IN- CREASED TAXATION, as it had been stated

CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1878

| Ministerial Consistency (?)

; ‘ li' hen the whole business of the United States is transacted by seven Cabinet officers, it is surely absurd to appoint thirteen for the Dominion of Canada.

MeKenzie loudly re-echoed these senti- ments in the House, but when he got into power, appointed thirteen Cabinet officers,and an additional Minister without portfolio / And last session he tried to imitate Japan by a Bill( Mar. 18, 78) to appoint two Ministers to preside over the same department !

Some Truth for the Electors.

The farmer near a market is always en- riching, while the farmer far from a market is always impoverishing his land.

The nearer the producer to the consumer the more prefitable to both, hence the plow and the loom should be neighbors.

Canada needs encouragement to home products, employment to labor at living wages and development of her natural re- sources.

If the United States is allowed to monop- olize the trade of each of the separate Prov- inces of the Dominion, political aunexation is only a question of time.

The nation which persists in exporting raw material, will end by exporting its men.

That certainly is not a wise commercial policy which imports nearly all our coal and iron, and aliows the best coal and iron mines in the world to lie unworked.

Where manufactures flourish, land and its products are most valuable.

—a ~S pee Shattered Hopes.

The advent of McKenzie to power in 1873 was hailed with acclamation by Re- formers throughout the Dominion, because they believed he was going to introduce an era of purity, good government and econ- omy such as had never been known before —many even of those who had formerly been opposed to him, putting faith in his professions and resolving to give him a fair trial. In his address to the electors of Lambton, he proclaimed :—

‘*We will strive to elevate the standard of puhlic morality which our opponents have done so much to debase ; and to conduct public affairs upon principles which honest men can approve, and by practices which will bear the light of day.”

How has he fulfilled that promise? Let every elector read the record of facts, and judge for himself !

<2 Facts About our FB'inancas.

McKenzie, when in opposition, was strong on economy, ana never tired of declaring how the country was being ruined by the wasteful extravagance of Sir John A. Me.

Donald. Since he got into power, how has he shown his economy? Look at the fig- ures :—

The total expenditure out of Consolidated Fund for the year ending 30th June, 1873, the last of Sir John McDonald’s administra- tion, was $19,174,647 ; the first year Me- Kenzie had complete control, ending June, 1875, he ran up the expenditure to $23,713,- O71, and the next year (1875-76) again in- creased it to $24,488,372, and for 1876-7 expended $23,519,301! (Pub. Ace. 1877, p. xix.)

In every year under Sir John A. Mc- Donald the Finance Minister could congra-

: a aad 4 om ewcdiaesote e by their opponents, but a readjustment of | enjate the country on a large surplus, Look

the tariff and REDUCED EXPENDI- TURES. These-were the planks in their platform, together with encouragement to our manufacturing industries; ship’s ma- terials, raw materials, machinery not made in the country, free; 15 PER CENT. on non-enumerated articles; and an increase of the tariff on such articles as we can pro- duce in the country, giving employment to our people and a HOME MARKET FOR OUR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE.

DR. TUPPER’S PLANK.

** 1 trust I have satisfied the House that IT IS NOT a question of high or low taza- tion, any further than this, that, inasmuch as we governed the country with a small taxation, and inasmuch as we are prepared to govern the country again without those extravagant expenditures made by the pres- ent Government trusted with power, all we ask is, Nov THAT THE TAXATION OF THE PEOPLE SHALL BE INCREASED, because we do not require so much money as the hon. gentlemen oppo- site, as we have shown by our economy in the past, and which we are prepared to practice in the future, but that the money shall be levied in such a way as to FURNISH EMPLOYMENT FOR THE PEOPLE AND PROVIDE THE MEANS OF PAYING THE TAXATION THAT IS LEVIED UPON THEM.”

at the list : For the year ending 30th June, 1868, surplus $201,856 ; for 1868-69, sur- plus $341,000 ; for 1869-70, surplus, $1,- 166,716 ; for 1870-1, surplus, $3,712,479 ; for 1871-2, surplus $3,125,345 ; for 1872-3, surplus $1,638,822! (Pub. Ace. 1877, p. xix.) Dut although McKenzie’s first act was to put three millions of additwnal taxation on the people (Budget Speech 1874), he had only been two years in power when the ‘mixing and muddling of Cartwright changed surpluses into deficitts—for 1875-6, we had a deficit of $1,900,785; and for 1876-7 a deticit of $1,460,027! (Pub. Ace. 1876, p. xix.) and this year another large deficit is anticipated !

Total surpluses under Sir John McDon- ald, $10,186,288 ! Two year’s deficits under McKenzie, $3,360,812 !

In addition to his continual surpluses, Sir John McDonald speut more on capital account each year than he increased the pub- lic debt. Look at the figures :—1867-8, ex- cess of capital expenditure over increase of debt, $545,714; 1868-9, $411,838; 1869-70, $1,320,681; 1870-1, $4,173,621; 1871-2, $3,417,995; 1872-3, $2;202,929; or a total of $12,072,778 for permanent works paid out of ordinary revenue! (Pub. Acc. 1877, p- xvi.) But when McKenzie got into power he increased the public debt each year more than he expended on capital ac- count! Here are the figures:—1874-5, $760,228; 1875-6, $1,389,017; 1876-7, $1,- 057;448: or in three years, debt increased $3,206,693 more than expended on capital account ! (Pub. Acc. 1877, p. xvii.)

NO. 386.

The Minister of Justice in Jeopardy

The Montreal Gazette says :—‘*Mr. La- flamme must have been conscious of the death-knell of his political life, when he found a meeting in the place that at the last election gave hima majority of one hundred and sixty, so markedly against him as was that which was held on Thurs- day evening. There were over a thousand electors present, and addresses were de- livered by Mr. Girouard, the Hon. Mr. Laflamme, Mr. Thomas White, the Hon. L. H. Holton, the Hon. J. A. Chapleau, Mr. W. Prevost, Mr. Aldric Ouimet, Mr. J. B. Daoust, and others, the meeting being kept up until an early hour in the morning, and the interest being well sustained throughout. Fully two-thirds of those present were in favor of Mr. Girouard, and were most enthusiastic in their demonstra- tions of applause. Mr. Laflamme must have had a setiment of premonition when he announced, in pathetic terms, that as he had had his political birth in the county of Jacques Cartier, so here he was prepared to meet his political death That is a most suitable frame of mind in which to await the fatal hour of the 17th September. Of Mr. Girouard’s triumph there is no reasen- able doubt in the mind of any elector of the county.

Mr. McKenzie was kind enough to state when the steel rails would be finally in nse. He said :—

‘*In a short time they will be laying rails at the rate of a mile a day, and by the close of the year 302 miles of these rails will be laid, or more than half the quantity pur- chased. Of these rails 11,000 tons were laid on the Intercolonial, and 28,000 tons will be laid on the Canada Pacific by the end of the wear, or nearly 40,000 tons in all.”

That is to say, 50,000 tons were purchased in 1874 for the Pacific Railway, and four years later 28,000 tons of the rails will be in use on the road. The country loses the difference between $54 per ton, and the present price, besides the interest, detcriora- tion, etc., or say a sum of about Two MIL: LIONS OF DOLLARS, and finds that only 28,- 000 of the 50,000 tons were really needed for the Pacific Railway four years after the purchase for that work.—Swun.

The Montreal Gazette says :—‘‘ Here is another gem from Mr. McKenzie’s Sum- merside speech : ‘ A new tariff, pro last session of Congress, was only defeated by 18 or 20 votes, which shows that the Americans are alive to free trade princi- ples.’ The fact is that this new tariff was, compared with that of Canada, an emphati- cally protectionist tariff. Had it passed it would have been more dangerous to us, be- cause in the interests of manufacturers is provided for a system of drawbacks practi- cally bounties, on manufactured goods ex- ported, which operating, as in the case of the sugar drawbacks as a bounty, would have proved the last straw in destroying the manufactures of Canada, unless.met by countervailing duties, which Mr. McKenzie would never grant.”

_»~eom +

Mr. John MeDonald, of Toronto,—the best of the Grits,—in an address to. his constituents, says the present tariff affords a protection of 20 per cent. ; and then de- clures that ‘‘To speak of a policy which affords manufacturers a protection of 20 per cent. as a Free Trade policy is dishonest.” Then what are Mr. L. H. Davies and his followers in this Province who claim to be Free Traders? Dishonest, eh ?

iia ces

The Peoria, Ill., Gazette says ‘‘ Canadian emigrants are plentiful in the West this season. They are taking up large tracts in Southern Illinois, and are mostly farmers’ sons—the best class of settlers.” It is sad to see our young men leaving us to be ruined by Protection to agricultural inter- ests. By the way, how many American farmers’ sons have taken up land in On- tario this season to enjoy the blessings of one-sided Free Trade ? :

Lost IN a QvuaGMire.—An unknown man lost his life last Friday evening by sinking in a quagmire at the Centre Lake, Loch Lomond. Late in the evening, Mr. Levi Lockhart heard the man crying for assistance, and lifting up the window of his house he asked what was the matter, when the man cried out, “ For God’s sake come and help me out of this hole.” Mr. Lockhart not being in a position to render the man much assistance, as he had only one arm to use, ran with all possible speed for a aman named Brayden living near by, but when they arrived at the scene the man had sunk to the bottom. They immediately set about to recover the body, but at last accounts it had not been found.—sSt. John News.

‘Mr. Vennor writes to an Ottawa paper as follows : ‘* Sir,—I have received telegrams to the effect that snow fell on the 20th inst. at Battersea, Ont., in an appreciable quan- tity, which is a splendid fulfilment of my prediction for August, and upon the very date mentioned—20th—flurry of snow.”

A trotting race between Nellie Thorne and Frank Allison, for $250 a side, took place at Truro, N. 8., resulted as follows: The first heat was won by Allison in 2.30; the second | heat was dead; the third was taken by Allison, | time 2.40; the fifth by Allison in 2.39. It was ,a highly exciting race, but there was little | money bet.
