THE DAILS EXA MINER, CHARYOTTETOWN JUNE 11 1rg00.,
PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE.
(Continued fr-m page 2.)
[Lesame hon. gentleman eaid further | that there was “nothing in it but a piec> ot birch bark.” “I dare aay, “added Mr. Birch,” thatthe hor. gentleman’s ac juaintance with birch bark is much greater (han mine. I have nodoubt but the birch bark canoe as it glided noiselessly | lown the Hillsboro propelled by an ashen paddle, and the birch bark wigwam that | graces the hillside, are much more fam: | iar to the bon. gentleman’s friends than they are to mine,
Mr. Peters rose to a point of order and eaid that if the hon. member meant to in-
him be was mistaken, There was no} Indian blood in him. “Ifthe hon. genleman had not been so!
it. Butif they took that amount they | wereabiy aesisted by the Liberals of the} Legisiative Council. At that time, said | Mr. Birch, there was another branch of | s Legislature, and ajl measures had to/ pass that branch as well as this one, and to become law it was just as necessary for & measure to pass the Legislative Coun-
cil as it was to pass | the House of Assemb'y. At that time the Council was
composed of ten Liberals and three Con- | servativee, and if it were not for the as-! sistance of the Liberal Councillors the
money could not have been drawn. sat what did the Conservatives do? They, by
the able manner in which they have al-~ ways managed the affairs of state, were successful in placing to our credit at Otta- Wa an additional eubsidy of $20,000 year for all time to come. The hon, member from St. Peter’s eaye they came into power to “economize andtc make both ends meet.” Yes, and this is how they economized: In the year 1893 they | spent on the roads alone $42,971 42, or! oniy $27,971.42, more than the total! vote of the House for that service. There was epent that year in Queen’s County $16,- 82151. Will the hon. gentleman tell this House why such au exiraordinary expen- diture took place in Fort Augustus ? | The Supervisor of District No. 8 epent $3,521.54. Was this an honest expenditure? Were their ruads so bad in that district that they required about one-fourth of the total rote for the Island? Or was this an election year? When the hon. gentleman talks about deficits one would think they were Strangers to them. The gentlemen on that side of the House look upon them as & horrible nightmare ever since they pro- mieed the people of this Island that they would make ends meet. For the infor mation of the bon. geutleman whose memory seems bad he (Mr. Birch) gavea list of the deficits since these economical gentlemen came into power :—

Or the total sum of $355,102.93 in deficit for nipe years. Tnis is @ pretty wnd showing for men who came into power to make ends meet. And then these men promised us that the day ef taxation wa far off. The Premier in 1893 said tha he could not see that day with the mo- powerful telescope he could procure. Ba alas for their electioneering pledges; they were like pie crust. made only to he broken. [In the year 1894, regardles~ o'

When the Conservatives were in power the debt was a little over $1.00 per head; but now we find those men have increased it toover $5.00 per head of our popula~ tion. The Leader said that we were the highest taxed people in the world, and cited New Branswick with $8.53, Nova
$28 :6. His ambition seems to eclip-e these provinces, and he would accomplish it if he keeps going at his present pace. Now how do we compare with those pro- vinces named in regard to resources ? Where are our minerals? Where are our coal deposits? Where are our gold mines? We have no natural wealth to fall back upon, enly, like the cat, one trick, direct taxation. Then we are told that we have thirty-two road machines which are a very great factor in giving us good roads. Well, be (Mr. Birch) watched closely the operations of \bose read machines and was fully convinced that they ere an injary rather than a benefit to our roads. We fiad that where they bave been operated on our roads that is just the place they are in the worst condition. Those road machines cut the brow of the road away, throw it in the centre, then those sods are covered with looze clay, and when driven over leaves the roade full of ruts. When th? rainy season comes On the roads are
us bow grateful ibe people of this Island Ought to be so the present Liberal Govern~ ment at Ottawa for, the Murray Harbor and Belfast Railway. They forget to tell the people of this country that in 1896 John Haggart, Minister of Railways and Canals, passed a resulution committing the Government of the Dominion to the construction Gf not only 60 miles of rail- way but 105 miles as follows :—
Miles. Sumtuerside northward... ...... 3 Emerald northward...e....... 2. . 00s 7 North Wiltshire Station South ..... 10 Royal y Junction northerly... .... 9 Southport suuth eastwardly ....... 60 Harmony enastward........ ebeeeds sie O’Leary Station westward........ 8
One hundred and five miles in all. Those gentlemen did it in a business-like way. An estimate was medeof the total cost, $1,088,000, and he firmly believed that ifthe Conservative Government had been returned to power the lines above enumerated would have been in operation before thie. Thev would not do as the present Government has done—call for tendere for 11? miles, turn the first sod and appsreatiy go no further. He would ask those von. gentlemen. how it 6 tha. the contractor bas discontinued the work? Will there be another demonstration to turn the sod back. Thus the Island has lost 45 milee of railway by the misfortuae of returning the Liberals to power. He would like to ack the Leader of the Government if the report is true that ie in circulation that the bridge we areto get across the Hille~ boro is the old iron bridge which now epans the Mirimachi River and which the Minister of Railways and Canals has dis- covered is tou weak forthe large engines of the 1.C.R.? Isthis the rearon the Leader is unable to table the specification; There appears to be a myetery surround- ing it which no supporter of the Govern- ment wil] rise to explain that a bridge of euch magnitude is to be constructed with- out a specification, is beyond apprehension. The hon. gentlenian says that “they teke no stock in bye-elections.” Well, that is a fact ; up to the present time they have not. But the electors have been taking stock of them. They have weighed them in the balance and found them wanting. Out of the four bye-elections the people have refused to have those men reign over them. Is it nota fact that every device and artifice known to political schemers bas been used bythe Government? They even had Sir Louis H. Davies brought in to service and what becould do with elcquence threats and intimidation was done. But the yoice of the tempter was not heard, and Summerside, Tignieb, Murray Harbor and Belfast returned opponents of the government. The hon. Gentleman has said that the Conservatives when in power paidthe banks 6 and 7 per cent. interest on overdrafts, but when they came into
they are paying 6 or 7 per cent? Ac- cording tO @ staiement called tor by th: Oj; postion they bad an overdratt of over $159,000, which is an alarming state of | affairs when they pot tne balf-vearly | Suberdy 1h January, and proves cou j CLUSI VE ly thee \lravagance of those men,

hon, member for Tignish (Mr. Pineau) gives it 48 his reason for Changing his political creed, that when he cae into this House and looked up tke Puab- Accounts, aud found a surplus
ment when it is known by every member that he satin this House and voted with the Government on every question for seven days, before he ever eaw the Public Accounts or they were laid on tne table ? Next he says he was no sooner elected than the Conservatives wanted to get clear
of him. Never was a statement further from the irath. They treated him with the utmost confidence and: respect. He never called a2 public meeting to contradict stories circulated in refereace to his allegiance to the Conser- vative party. The only meetings he called was the “ conveners’ meetings,” which meetings he never attended because he left for pastures new before the time ar- rived to hold those meetings, Neither was there a candidate chosen io take his place at the next elections. Al] those statements are miserable aubter- fuges for @ crooked and unmanly course. Mr. Pineau says he bas a number of Jet- ters from Conservative electors approving of the course he bas taken. He (Mr. Birch) defied the hen. gentleman to pro- duce one. He would not pursue’ this matter any further. He would leave Mr. Pineau to the tender mercies of an indig - nant and outraged electorate who will deal with him as he _ deserves In a few short months the noble youths who have gone to the Transvaal and who have won such honor and fame not only for the Ieland but this broad Dominion as well, will be returning to this grand old city of Charlattetown. He could alreavy ec its citizens all alive wending their way to meet them. He could her the straine of martial music, the tap ot the great drum, the roar of artillery, the crash of musketry. He could see the illumination in every window, and the magnificent fire works which illuminate the very beavene. Why is all this for the boys? Because they deserve it On the other hand he could see the hon.gentlemanfreturning to his home after this session is over No anxious crowd is pressing to the station, no martial music 18 playing, the roar of artillery is huehed, the crash of musketry is not heard, no illummation picrees the blackness of the bight, no fireworks illuminate the heavens. The record of this man is dark; he is get- ting hie just deserts.
