When I was in England on the mission ‘to the Imperial Government, in connecti@n with Winter Communication, having mipntioned to the Colonial Minister that Sir John was not unwilling that the question of the feasibility of the Subway Scheme be submitted to some of the best ;engineers, I asked Lord Granville if he would have any objection to submit the names of some engineers in whom the pub- lic confidence could be placed. He appealed to Sir R. Herbert, who had a good deal of experience in matters in which the highest engineering skill had been employed. That ‘gentleman replied that to-morrow he would | give the names of some gentlemen in whom if might place entire confidence. Sir Chas. | Tupper was present during this conversa- { i

tion. Next day, I accordingly received a letter of introduction to Sir Douglas Fox, jand together with Mr. Ferguson and Sir | Charles “Tupper, called upon that gentle- man. We submitted the Subway Scheme

Government of Canada had done veey well for P. E, Island, and that they

had carried out the Terms of Confederation to the utmust possible extent. Mr. Blake was present, and had not yet supplanted his Leader. Mr. Mackenzie undoubtedly spoke for his Party and not for himself alone. He was a straightforward, honest man, but is now in thesshade. Mr. Blake professes to be a man of figures as well as aman of many words, and tried to show that it would be most unjust to the other Provinces to make the proposed expendi- ture for P. E. Island. He declared that the Dominion Government had expended in this Province nearly two millions of dol- lars to which it was not entitled, and that the proposed grant of $180,000 for the Cape Traverse Branch Line should not be voted by the House of Commons. I have closely examined Mr. Blake’s figures, and find that they were entirely astray, and that his statement was without foundation. Only the other day Mr. Blake, in referring to the Maritime Provinces and the Pacific Railway, declared that the whole of the expense of the construction of that railway was borne by his own Province of Ontario ! He also referred to the grarit forthe con- struction of the Cape Breton Railway in the same manner, and spoke of the Subway proposed by Senator Howlan as a

Alhtough we were not in a! position to give the precise professional information necessary, in a case of that kind, as the survey of the Straits had not} been made, it was his opinion that if the! bottom of the Straits proved favorable, the scheme was practicable.

Senator Howlan is responsible for the Subway scheme, so far as it has been placed before the public. I favor it, because from the interview I had with MR. WALTER SILANLEY,

he declared that the work was entirely practicable, and that it could be successfully completed at a cost not exceeding five millions of dollars. We have an election contest now approaching, and the great question to be decided is whether the

when $190,000 additional was placed to the credit of this Province at Ottawa, upon which we shall draw interest at five

per cent. for all time to come. All the other Provinces of the Dominion had a

proportional amount placed to their credit, and will draw interest thereon at the same rate. The remaining portion of the public debt was made up by subsidies to railways and canals. We are told that the $25,000, - 000 paid the syndicate for the. construction of the Pacific Railway will never be repaid. Tais statement is not co-net. The Gov- ernment® stil own an immense area of land inthe Northwest. The even lots are for homesteading purposes, and the odd lots are for sale. The moneys received for the latter will be USED AS A FUND

for the repayment of the cost of the C. P. Railway. Not a single dollar of the cost of that railway will therefore, be borne by the vlder Provinces of the Dominion. 1 should like to speak to you on other topics, but have confined my remarks to those par- ticular subjects which are collateral to the Su way, in order thit the pople may see which of the two great parties of the Do- minion it will be to their interest to sup- port. Shall we support the party that built the Pacific Railway, or the party that have declared their want of faith in the Pacific Railway and the country through | which it passes.

to be assured that, if proved to be feasible , or practicable, he will have the work car-} ried to successful completion. We know | how the Government, while hampered and | hindered by the base fabrications and slan- | ders of their opponents, had that great work, the Pacific Railway, completed with- | in half the time allotted to them. So foully were they treated, that the Syndi-! cate were unable to raise a sufficient sum. of money in the markets of the world to) enable them to complete the construction of ; the road. The company, on account of | that treatment, were forced to come to Parliament for a loan of $30,000,000 to enable them to fulfil their contract. The Government and their supporters were taken by surprise, that in addition to twenty-five millions of dollars and twenty- | five millions of acres of land granted to the | contractors for the construction of the road, | they were now called upon for a loan of 30) millions of dollars to help the syndicate through their difficulty. The Government proposed to grant the loan. We all re-| member the predictions of Messrs. Blake, ' Laurier, and the Oppesition, rank ‘and file, | that uot one dollar of that loan would ever | be repaid. 1, myself, heard Mr.

Laurier | make a speech on this matter, in which he |

a free gift to the syndicate of that loan, | and that the country could not bear the’ great strain thus made upon it. Said he: ‘*f would as soon expect the waters of the! St. Lawrence to flow backward, as that the | loan to the syndicate will ever be repaid.” | What has been the result? The Pacific Railway has been completed, and

THE WHOLE OF THE LOAN

has been repaid to the Government. | Twenty millions of money were paid in, cash, and ten millions in lands, at $1.50) peracre. The Opposition say that too} high a price was paid for the land. Well, | they can be answered by their own argu-!} When the contract for the con-| struction of the C. P. Railway was about! to be awarded, Mr. Blake, their leader, | valued those lands at 85 per acre. Other

members of the Opposition valued them at

$4 per acre; but the lowest valuation made

was that of Mr. Sheldon, viz., $3.75 per) acre. So you will see that the Govern-

ment, in giving $1.50 per acre, have had

fair value for the ten millions of dollars in

lands. It is necessary that these facts | should be considered by the people, and} that they should not allow the dust to be thrown into their eyes. The syndicate, by extraordinary ability and perseverance, completed the C. P. Railway within five years less time than they were allowed for the work. Why wasall this expenditure on the C. P. Railway made? It was done in order to keep faith with British Colum- bia. (Cheers.) Messrs. Blake, Mackenzie, | and other Opposition members wanted to break the compact made with British Co- lumbia at Confederation. Sir John op- posed them in their attempt, and has al- ways endeavored to keep faith with British Columbia, and to carry out the Terms of Confederation. Now, if the Government ran such tremendous risks to keep faith with British Columbia, I. think we may be sure they will do the same for this little Province, and they will not hesitate to un- dertake the trifling expenditure of five mil- lions of dollars to carry out the compact made with us at Confederation. They will now be in a good position to turn their at- tention to the construction o f the Subway, which has been so ably brought _ before them by my friend Mr. Howlan. We are told that the public debt of the country is now 220 millions of dollars. This is an, ‘mormous debt, but how was it incurred
