POLICY OF THE MINISTRY,

‘‘We have in this country at the present mo- ; moment NO tpEA 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 «s 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 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.

THE PLANK ON WHICH SIR JOHN McDONALD STANDS.

‘* NEITHER AT LONDON OR ELSEWHERE HAVE [| GOME BEYOND MY MOTION IN Par- LIAMENT, AND HAVE NEVER PROPOSED AN INCREASE, BUT ONLY A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF TARIFF.

** Joun A. McDonacp.”

‘*We can 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 taxation may be LESS IN FACT, although it may he 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 Parliament.

MR. TILLEY’S PLANK.

Mr. Tittey then took up the public ex- 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 by their opponents, but a readjustment of 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.

‘* 7 trust I have satisfied the House tha IT IS NOT a question of high or low taxa- 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 since they have been en- trusted with power, all we ask is, NoT 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.”

EXAMINER.

EDWARD ISLAND, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1878.

A Reckless Steward.

(From the Toronto Maii. )

Since the steel-rail folly we have not heard much of the ‘* practical ability” of the Pre- ‘mier, but the organs are now singing the | praises of his carefullness in dealing with the public interest,” | It is safe to say that no First Minister in our history paid away so much money illegal- ily, unconstitutionally or unprofitably as has been paid away under Mr. McKenz‘e’s man- agement. The $2,938,900 paid fer steel-rails was unconstitutionally paid, for Parliament was not asked to sanction the purchase until the rails were bought. 1t was also an unprofitable transaction, inasmuch as the same quantity of rails could be bought to-day for $1,800,000. The rails, moreover, have suffered terribly from oxidation; experts say the loss on that account is fully thirty per cent. The $109,- 009 payment to Mr, A. B. Foster was an ille- gal payment. because by the terms of the con- tract Mr, Foster forfeited all claim for the work done en his abandoning the job; an un- constitutional payment, because the contract was let and this money paid on it without the knowledge or consent of Parliament; and an unprofitable payment, because the surveys for which the payment was made will be of no future use, the new route selected lying far away from the Foster route. Of the $107,850 paid to Mr. David Glass for telegraph con- struction, nearly $70,000was paid away unpro- litably—without value being received by the country—for Mr. Fuller, the contractor for the adjoining section, offered to do the work for $38,750. So, also, there was a loss to the taxpayers of $30,000 on the Goderich Harbor contract. The $18,390 payment to Mr. Speaker Anglin was made in direct violation of the Independence of Parliament Act; and the same is true of the $24,477 paid to Messrs. Vailand Jones of the Halifax Citizen, the $42,000 Mr. Norris, M. P., received for his share in the steel rail carrying contract, and the $34,000 paid to Mr. Bannatyne, M. P., for supplies in 1876 and 1877. The $63,286 paid for the Government buildings at Fort Pelly was unprotitably paid, the works hav- ing been abandoned there, and new buildings put up at Battleford. The $250,000 being

sunk at Fort Frances is an illegal pay- ment, because the work is being done not by contract, as provided by the

Pacific Railway Act, but by day’s labor under the direction of a Government officer. Lastly, the $68,708 paid for the Kaministiquia site was an illegal payment, inasmuch as one of the principal vendors was the third valuator and agent for the Government; and an un- profitable payment, because gross frauds and overcharges were permitted. Here is the sum total of these illegal, unconstitutional and un- protitable payments :—

If this constitutes ‘‘carefulness in dealing with the public interests,” what is reckless. ness ?

Representation in the Cabinet.

[From the Herald. |

The electors should note this fact. It is a very important matter for this Province to have a representative at the Cabinet Council Board of the Dominion. Without this we are as a cypher in the councils of the nation, and must depend for what we get on the liberality or the sense of justice of ministers, who have no particular desire to look after our interests. When six men were sent up to Ottawa to sup- port McKenzie, Mr. Laird was awarded a seat in the Cabinet. But Mr. Laird studied his own personal interests so closely that the Island reaped nothing from his presence in the Cabinet, At length he went, consulting his own good, and McKenzie gave the vacant place to another Province. Remonstrances were made, and McKenzie deigned to say that if the Island returned in Laird’s place a man worthy of being promoted to a seat in the Cabinet, he would be promoted. Now mark : there were, at that time representing the Island, such men as Perry, Yeo, Davies, Mc- Intyre and Sinclair. But the Premier of Can- ada looked upon these gentlemen as utterly unqualified to take a seat in the Cabinet. Mce- Kenzie regarded themas dumb dogs that could not or would not bark—a group of inepts fit only to give a silent vote. All these men, except Davies, whom McKenzie _ pro- nounced untit to occupy a Cabinet seat, are again offering themselves for re- election. A seat in the Cabinet is absolutely necessary for this Province, if its interests are to be looked after. McKenzie refused it on the plea that we had not a representative at Ottawa capable of taking the position. Are we, then, going to send to Ottawa the same men whom McKenzie stigmatized as incapable ? If so, the inference is clear that we do not want a representation in the Cabinet. Our action is reduced to the alternative, cither to change our representatives or to give up our claims toa seat in the Dominion Executive. Perry, Yeo, McIntyre and Sinclair have under- gone no process of training by which they have become more apt or skilful. They are the same rude, unworkable material which Me- Kenzie rejected four years ago.

ae a ae No Poutcy. -- The Toronto Telegram says: ‘‘ The Official Gazette does not con- tain much new matter of interest in these days, but all the Government organs are determined not to let the country forget the Pacific Scandal. What they would do if they were not continually ‘ waking’ that old corpse, goodness only knows; they don’t appear to have any other capital, Why don’t they issue their programme ?”

NO, 392.

Our Prospects.

Everywhere the prospects of the Opposi- | tion are of the most encouraging character. The work goes bravel on, and each day only ‘adds to the certainty of the defeat which awaits the Grit Government on the 17th. We have on the very best authority that a ma- jority for the Opposition will come from Que- bee and Ontario combined. In the city of Montreal there is practically no contest, as the Ministerial candidates are mere shams to prevent the election of the Opposition by ac- clamation. New Brunswick will throw a ma- jority for the Opposition, and P. E. Island will send a clear Opposition vote. While the other Provinces of the Dominion are so nobly working to rescue Canada from the rule of the Grits, P. E. Islanders will not be found lag- gards in the good cause which promises to set manufactures in motion, mt give to our working classes remunerative labor, and to furnish paying markets for farm produce.

Increased Taxation.

There is no mealy-mouthedness, but there is abundance of truth in the following state- ment of the risks which the country is called

upon to face at the coming elections, It is

from the St. John (N. B.) Daily Sun :—

‘** That five years more of power by the Mc- Kenzie Government wi/l necessitate increased taxation to an alarming extent, even their warmest supporters cannot successfully gain- say. How canit be otherwise? ‘Taxes are imposed and the tariff of the country framed for legitimate purposes. But what amount of taxes or what tariff, however wisely framed, can produce sufficient revenue to satisfy the hungry cormorants who have been devouring the country’s substance under what, with bitter sarcasm, has been called ‘ Reform Rule!’ The revenue of the Indies in their palmiest days, the mines of Peru when they gave forth their richest treasures, would not suffice to meet the calls upon a treasury which is con- stantly being tapped by the Moores, the Oliver-Davidsons, the Fosters, the Frechettes, the Mackenzies, the Brydges, the Annands, the Blackadars, and the newspapers connected with a party whose motto is, ‘'l'o the victors belong the spoils,’ and who act up to their motto with a persistency and boldness which throws all past efforts at public plundering in Canada into the shade.”

i

Robbing and Murder.

‘fhe Malta ‘‘ Times” of Aug. 10th repors avery serious mutining and attempt at murder which occurred on the barque ‘* Oraway,” Capt. James Wilmot, of Sack- ville, N. B. Amongst the crew, consisting of ten men, were two Greeks, Nicholas Peter and Mannel Margin, who seemed to have fixed apurpose to take possession of the vessel after murdering the crew. They first attacked the mate, George Lyons,whom they left insensible on the deck, then the boatswin and a seamen named Nelson, both of whom were struck on the head with anaxe. The captain being armed, fired at Margin and wounded him andthe two scoundrels finding their plans were not to succeed, threw their chests and ladder over- board and went over after them, thus anti- cipating the punishment due to their crime. The wounded men were taken to the hos- pital at Malta and properly cared for. The mate is not likely to recover; the others probably will.

AnpD now Dr. Platt, the Grit candidate in Prince Edward County, says he is independ- ent. Howthey do tumble! The fact is the Government stinks in the public nos- trils, and their own candidates are afraid to acknowledge them. Mr. McCuaig stands squarely on National Policy, and we are in- formed that his election may be regarded as certain. — Mail.

AccIDENT TO Mr. Tittey.—While the Hon. Mr. Tilley was being driven over to Fairville, last evening, by Mr. W. H. Austin, the carriage collided with a passing sloven, and Messrs. Tilley and Austin were thrown out on the road. Mr. Austin es- caped with very slight injury, but Mr. Tilley was bruised about the body and legs and had his face scratched. He was obliged to relinquish his intention of attending a public meeting at Fairville. He will be confined to his room at the Park Hotel for a day or two.--St. John Globe.

Tux United States Bankruptey Law expired on the Ist of September, and the rush of peo- ple on that day to get in petitions was some- thing dreadful. At Chicago the jam was so great that the people could not get through the doors where the Court. met. In New York four hundred petitions were filed on Saturday, the clerk remaining in his office until mia- night to put in the last one.

Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we live in. Nature gives us grandeur of mountains glens and oceans, and thousands of means for enjoyment. We can desire no better when in perfect health ; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, discouraged and worried out with disease, when there is no occasion for this feeling, as every sufferer can easily ob- tain satisfactory proof that Green’s August Flower will make them as free from disease as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Com- plaint are the direct cause of seventy-five per cent. of such maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous Prostration, Dizziness of the Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and other distress- ing symptoms. Three doses of August Flower will prove its wonderful effect Sample bottles, 10 cenis, Try it,
