of Washington has secitred peace between Knglandand the United States, and to bring this about Canada,as well as England, made some sacrifices. But, in doing so, we improved the public credit of the country, and England, freed from all complications on this side of the water, has been enable] to make her influence felt in the councils of Kurope. What will England say? What will the half-fed, half-employed people of this Dominion say ? is the burning question. (Applause.) The representative man who does not raise to this position and apply the proper remedy, will be recreant in his duty. The future prosperity of this Dominion largely depends upon the vote cast at the coming election. CARTWRIGHT 'S LOAN’S,

Mr. Cartwright negotiated a loan in Eng- land in 1874. The mode hitherto adopted for floating a loan was to put it up for com- petition and accept the highest tender. But Mr. Cartwright fixed the value and floated

Noj I believe that the people will put men at tho helra who will reet and put into a harbor, that in New Brunswick we will not hereafter be de- pendent altogether on our lumber, but will have other resources, as sugar refineries and manufactories. If the Government had come down three years and said there are interests which require support, we would have had the sugar refiners and tea dealers in the country now; they would not have been driven to foreign countries, but would have helped to build up the industries and resources of tle country. CONCLUSION,

I thank you, gentlemen, for your atten- tion and courtesy in listening to me so long. This is only one of our meetings. I recollect that in old times on nomination day opponents met each other and explained their different views. I regret that we have not now an opportunity of doing so, but still I hope pet i may be able to meet my

£1,800,000 a rate was suggested, but when the highest tender was received it was found to exceed the rate named by £125,000. As itis right that the public works should be competed for, so should the public loans. Mr. Cartwright disposed of one loan in this way, of a second by competition, and then he went back to his original mode. Mr. Cartwright also agreed to invest the amount of the sinking fund in the loan which he floated, which is very objectionable. I hold that it would have been better to have left

EALED TENDERS will be received at the Mayor’s Office, until noonjof MONDAY,

tion to be seen at this Office.

The Council do not bind themselves to ac.

sum not exceeding twenty-two and a half BLANCHE GULTON millions. Since then the taxes ought to have been one million less than they have been, and had no deficiencies. When the estimates were brought in, in 1873, Mr. Cartwright said that we were undertaking large responsibilities; he said we had gone on increasing expenditures; we had the funds for lighting houses and public build- ings, but as the business of the country in- creases, the Gove,nment is justified in building light houses, custom houses, ete.. and we were really adding to the wealth of the country; we could do this without un- necessary taxation, because we had sufti- cient income. We were ina position to re- duce the taxes from 12 per cent. to 10 per cent., and have a surplus of two millions. Afterwards, when the revenue was decreas-

The duties on non-enumerated articles Mrs. Pontivex,

should stand at 15 per cent. Our manu- facturing industries which give employment to so many of our people should be fostered and not crushed out. Indeed, to use a term which seems objectionable in some quarters, we require protection. On some articles it may be found necessary and pro- per to levy some additional duty and reduce it on others. I will explain why I did not advocate a protective tariff when in power. The war in the United States had raised the price of labor so high that a protective duty of 15 per cent. was found sufficient for the wants of the country. Since 1873 the price of everything in the United States has come down and the people of that country are now competing successfully in every kind of manufactured articles,not only with

sons to represent King’s County in the Do- minion House of Commons,

This motion, on being put to the meeting, was declared carried with only four or five dissenting voices.

Mr. W. H. Douglas then moved, and Win. Hooper, Esq. seconded, that Dr. Me- Intyre and Mr. McFadyen be put in nom- ination in the interests of the Reform Party. This motion was declared lost by the Chairman.

Hon. Mr. Bolger and las then severally addressed the meeting, after which the Chairman received thanks for his impartial conduct in the Chair, and the meeting dispersed.

Dufferin’s glowing account of that magni- ficent country. It was lying valueless, and would remain so unless the railway was built. By building the railway we got three-quarters of a million of people to join this Confederation, who, if we had not built the railway, would, on entering the Confederation, have been entitled to thirty millions of dollars. It was the intention to have the road built by a company, who, for the thirty million of dollars and the sub. sidy of land, would have built the road; but instead of doing so, Mr. McKenzie Says we, as a Government, will build the road, and, consequently, instead of the road costing thirty millions and the land, at first of March last $100,000,000 had been spent, and only a small part of the road made,and none of it in running order.

Under the present Government the im- migration expenditure has been increased $373,088; this is a department on which, [ say, the Government of the day ought to have put down their hand.

Indeed, it is the _question on which this election is being run. We inaugurated a national policy in 1871, and, under the circumstances, it was thought necessary to impose coal and flour duties. The Treaty of Washington was about to be considered. We were going to try for reciprocity in order to get a market for our lumber, cattle, ete., free of duty, and we could not expect to get all these ad- vantages without having something to offer inreturn. This was the reason why we imposed the duty. This national policy bore unequally on the Maritime Provinces, owing to their being large purchasers of flour. I would vote AGAINST DUTY ON FLOUR AND COAL
