The Tunnel

Jur anziety of our Oppositionists re- »pecting the tunnel is easily explained by the fact that public opinion here is now, —by the exertions of Senator Howlan and Senatot Prowse, Hon. D. Ferguson snd Hon. Neil McLeod and other Conservatives --deepite their efforts in the contrary dirgetion—-strongly in favor of it. To be able to stand before the electors of Prince Edward Island, they have been compelled to obtain some letters and telegrams from Me. Laurier. Tare Examiner did not care to expose fully the absolute worthlessnese of Mr. Laurier’s assurances. It was rather a pleasure and satisfaction to see our op- ponents wheeling into line and striving, with the skill of accomplished actors, to out-Howlan Howlan in their advocacy on behalf of the tunnel, But we cannot per- mit the Patriot to hoodwink even the most unintelligent of the people by its contention that Mr. Laurier stands pledged to the con- struction of the tunnel. Mr. Laurier’s tel- egram to Mr. L. H. Davies amounts to no- thing more than his uasigned letter to the editor of the Guardian. The words of the telegram are : “I am in favor of the tunnel provided the surveys show the scheme is rea- sonable and practical.”

Mr. Laurier might be ** in‘favor of” building a railway to Hudson Bay. But the saying so would not in any way bind him to build it. Mr. Laurier has made no promise to promote the construction of the Northumberland Straits railway. There igno man in Prince Edward Island who better appreciates the fact than Mr. L. H. Davies. It is surprising that gentlemen such as Messrs. Laurier and Davies would try to hoodwink an,intelligent electorate by such means asan unsigned letter and a telegram studiously worded to convey to the thoughtless a false impression.

Dropping. 1! he Fad.

In Carleton, N. B., the Opposition has issued its call, under the signature of the president of the Liberal association, for a convention of all those ‘*intervated in Reciprocity." The Woodstock Press very naturally protests against this assumption on the part of the Liberals of the Conser- vative ticket, It adds at the same time, however, that it *‘cannot blame the Lib- erala of the county for feeling favorable towards the idea of Unrestricted Recipro- city before it was so fully explained what that policy meant, neither can we blame them now that they have discovered its meaning and funnd that it contains the very worst of restrictions, for being ready to drop it,”

Still they Come!

And now Harrison A. McKeown, M. P. P., and Howard D. Troop, two life long Liberals, of St. John, N. B., have followed the course of Messrs. Stockton and Alward, M. P. P.’s, and abandoned the Opposition Party on account of its annexation pro- clivities and acceptance of John V. Ellis, whom the Telegraph some time age de- nounced as a traitor. Mr. Snowball. too, the most influential man in Northumber- land, is out in opposition to the Opposi- tion! Will the Patriot explain the mean- ing of the numerous defections from its

party /

—The Montreal Gazette remarks : ‘' The Canadian Pacific railway last year carried nine million eight hundred thousand tons of merehandise. it gave work to ten thou- sand Canadians. The Liberals, however, do not count this as trade. No foreigner had a hand in it.”

Juparne by the consternation created in the opposition camp by THE EXAMINER $ suggestion that * unrestricted reciprocity “a admission, free of duty, of Ken- and all liquora made in the States—there is it. The Patriot had three articles in one paper, all denunciatory of Tas Examiner in respect to this point, and Mr. L. H. Davies him- self has a letter in the Patriot of last even- ing. Mr. Davies says that the unrestricted submitted by Sir

Has not Mr. Davies himself told us that it cannot be expected that the tail (Canada) will wag the dog— i. e., the United States ? And what guar- have we that liquors manufac-

internal revenue alone excepted.

antee tured in the States will continue to be subject to ‘duties of excise

and inland revenue.”’ Mr. Davies cannot be ignorant of the fact that the removal of these duties has for several years been adyo- cated on behalf cf one of the most powerful organizations in the Statea. If we mistake not there is at this moment on record in the Capito) at Washington a bill for qhe re- moval of these duties. Let that bill be passed, and what is there to prevent Can- ada from being a slaughter market for the surplus Americon whiskey,—if Unrestricted teciprocity be adopted by the people of Canada /

But Tue EXAMINER ia easy about the matter. Unrestricted Reciprocity will not be adopted. There are other graver ob- jections to it, on which it will be con- demned by the intelligent and patriotic

people of Canada. -__————— 2 066 --—— —“*The height of the tariff line would have to be regulated at Washington. It would seem im- possible that the American people would ever consent to permit the smatier body to have mach infl- ence in regulating the rates of duties to be ievied.’—Frastus Wimnan.

Notes and Comments.

—Some days ago we asked the Patriot to give its opinion on the unanimous selection of John V. Ellis, the annexationist, as the opposition candidate. Our contemporary preserves a studied silence. This will not dv. The loyal people of P. E Island are jealous of their British freedom, and will accept the silence of the Patriot as an answer.

— George R. Montgomery, Esq, of Alberton, is in thecity. He reports that the prospects for the election of ihe Con- servative candidates in Prince County are excellent. Mr. Yeo, the late Grit represent: - tive, is not pleased with the way he was treated by the Conventien, and says he is going to run on the independent ticket. He has already canvassed a good deal, and has a large following throughout the County.

—The Montreal Gazette reports that “Sir Donald Smith arrived in Canada on Friday last. On the next Thursday he was presented with a requisition signed by 1,786 names. These included the foremost men in Montresl in commerce, finance, manufacturing and civic life. Among them were hundreds of Liberals. The ben- ner constituency of Canada has but one voice in this fight.”

~The Colchester Sun remarks :— Hon. Edward Blake won't run on the grit fad of Unrestricted Reciprocity.

Hon. Alex. McKenzie will not endorsa the fad as it discriminates against England.

Hon. Wm. McDougall has forsaken and denounced the blue ruin gang known as grits.

Hon, Messrs. McKeown, Alyard, and Stoekton, hitherto leading Liberals of St. Jobn, are opposed to Unrestricted Reci- procity, and will no doubt work in the in- terests of the Conservative party.

~The grit papers seem to take great con- solation in alluding to Mr. Sol White ag a Conservative and annexationist. The in- ference is not correct. Mr. White was for one term Mayor of Windsor, Ont., (situat- ed opposite Detroit,Mich., and having close trade relation:{with it) and was was elected as & citizen, not asa party man. He has never been recognized as a leader in Con- servative circles, and never can be while in sympathy with annexation. How different many of the foremost members of the Oppvsition, who openly preach their dis- loyalty :

— Dr, Weldon said in his last speech, re-

| ported in the St. John Sun :

‘*Four-tifths of our exports of farm produce are to the British market. The statement may be surprising to some of you, but [ have made the calculations from the published trade returns, and 1 find in the five years just ended (taking one with the other) that while we sent $23,000,000 of the products of the far- mer tothe British Istes, we sent only $13,- 000,000 worth to the United States, s> that at the present day the British market is almost twice as valuable to us as the American, and bear in mind that my figures are taken of the value of the exports whea the McKinley bill was not in force, and therefore it is but fair to assume that the effect will be to give greater enlargement to the British market.”

—It is remarked that the Opposition press is much more modest in its predic- ticns than it was a few weeks before the signal defeat of the party in 1887. All eyes are now turned on the United States’ mag- nates and monopolists who have been inter- viewed by the party leaders in the red par- lors of Boston, New York and Pittsburg. Said President Lane as he introduced Sir Richard Cartwright to his Boston audience : “Our liberal friends, Fielding and Longley, of Nova Scotia, Davies, of Prince Edward Island, Mercier and Laurier, of Quebec, Cartwright, of Ontario, and a host beside, look to us, the people of the United States, for ‘the sign by which they shall conquer.’ Can we deny them ? The Montreal Gazette observes that the sign is &, while the Hal- ifax Mail observes : ‘It is in some cases a V., in a an x and some cases XX., on pieces of specially red r hav- ing green backs.” —e

Great Enthusiasm and Rattling Speeches.

One of the most successful political meet- ings ever held at Kiukora, was the meeting there last night. The hali was packed to the doors. ‘Lhe farmers of Kinkora and ad- joining districts rallied iu great force to hear Senator Howian, the veteran wuar- horse of Prince County, ‘Tne meeting wss called to order at the hour idvertised by appointing Jobn T. Murphy, Esq., chair- man, woo, ina few words, explaimed what they had met fer.

Spxator How san then advanced, and when the cheering had subsided, reierred to the tame when he last appealed to them fur the support which they sv heartily gave hint, and for 80 dving he teit conlideut they had no reason to regret, a3 they had now a railway running through their settiemei ts. The next great qestion for their consid_r- ation, he said, is the tunnel. He dwelt at great length on how he inbored to satisfy the Government and the peop e that it was practicable and feasible, ane also referred to the manner in which hd was jeered at by the Opposition, and he could not now help laughing at the way the grits were trying to fool the people by claiming that they are in favor of the tun- nel. If the peopie ef this Province, he said, never got atunnel until the grits gave it, there would be but few of the present day live to see it. The tunnel, he said, will be built, and by the government led by Sir John A. Macdonald, and that the peo- ple of thia Island were now at a political crisis, or as it were, a cress road, whereirom one road led to success and the other to de- struction. He said it was the duty of the people to give their support to the nominecs of the Conservative Party and not act sv blindly as they did before in sending up men to oppose and laugh at any measure calculated to advance the interests of the people. He next touched on Unrestricted Reciprocity aud exposed the hypocrisy of the Opposition ia good shape. Everything else having failed them, they now hope to divert attention from the real issue by nailing their colors to Ufrestricted Reci- procity, or in other words Annexation. In conciusion he appealed to the intelligent electors present for their unanimous sup* port for*himself and colleague, and resumed his seat amidst great applause.

Mr. Hunt was waraily received and ex- pressed the gratification be felt on being able .o meet such a laige assembly of the electors uf Prince County. It was, he said, the first time for him to ask them for their supp. rt. If he were to judge fmm the enthusiism of the meeting here to- night, he woud’say vat the resalt on the 5th of March nex. would be higuly sati.- tactory tothe Government aud ail con- cerned. He proved to the satistaction of all present that it would be to the interest of allto support Sir John’s Government. The latest fron Mr, Laurier was that he would now build a tunnel under the straits, but he took great care not to tuuach on this subject when here but a few months ago, althouzn the matter had been brought to his notice. It was clearly evident, he said, to any one that it wes nothing more than an election- eering dodge of the grits. Mr. Hunt as- sured them that if they saw fit to give him their support and he should be elected, he would use his best effurts to prom te the interests of P. E. Island, especially Prince County,

Dr. Jenxrys followed ia an able speech, and said we would certainly get the tun- nel if Sir John’s government triumphed. He referred to the many disadvantagea under which the farmers of this Provinces were laboring, and netning else could place them on an equality with the farm rs ol tbe other provinces. This was the greate-t boon ever offered to the people, and if they failed in getting it, it wonid b: ativibatabie to th ir own bad judgment ia not supporting and clecting the men and Government that were sure to grant it. He said Senator Howlin should be elected in any County in the Island by acclamation. The Ductor gave a roaring speech,

Hon. G. W. Beyrcey on being called on, said he had much pleasure in meeting again the people of Kiokora. He referred to the loyal support they had always given him, and said he was happy to know that they had representatives so earnest in their interest and the interest of the Province, as Senator Howlan and Mr. Hunt,

Perek Durry, Esq., and Thomas McCahe expressed themselves as haviag every oonfi- dence in the candidates for this couaty and ia the Goverament of Sir John A. Mac- donald, and strongly urged on their fellow electors to ra!ly to the support of Howlan and Hunt on the Sth March next,

On of the best and most enthusias'ic meetings that ever it has been our luck to be present at, was brought to a close by three cheers for the Conservative nominees, and three cheers for the tunnel, and three cheers for the great chieftaio, Sir John A. Mac. donald, .
