PROVINGIAL LEGISLATURE,

Speech of Mr, Alex. Marti ON THE DRAFT ADDRESS,

in moving that the House go into Oom- |

|ation the Draft Address prepared in answer

Lieutenant-Governor, at the opening of the Legislature, Mr. Alex. Martin said that it was customary to make a few remarks on the several paragraphs of the Address.

** The first paragraph is very much in the usnal form excepting that reference is made in it to the lateness of the present session. [t is true that the opening of this session of the Legislature is somewhat later than usual, but most hon. members are aware of the circumstances that caused the delay. The memorial to Her Majesty the Qveon, passed unanimously last session, was to be forwarded to the Dominion Government at Ottawa for transmission to the Imperial authorities. At the time it was passed the country was in turmoil on account of the rebellion in the Northwest, and it was con- sidered good policy by the Legisiature that nothing shouldjbe done,that might embarrass the Dominion Government while its exist- ence was imperilled. As soon as the re- bellion was suppressed he (Mr. M.) under-

.,stoed that the Lieutenant-Governor had for-

warded the memorial to the Deminion Government. It is also well known that towards the latter part of last year great political agitation raged in Eogland, that the Government led by the Earl of Salis- bury was defeated at the general election, held last fall, and that a new administration assumed the reins of power. At such a time it was not ad- visable to send forward a_ dele- gation, especially when so important # question as the fulfilment of the Terms of Confederation was involved. When these facts are considered it must be admitted that the Government of this Province took the earliest suitable opportunity of pressing our claims. In the past it has been cus- tomary to spend considerable time discuss- ing frivolus questions, and if the lateness of the present session will induce Hon. members to confine their remarks to mat- ters of importance, any inconvenience expe- rienced will be fully offset by the expedition with which the important busi- ness of the Province will be attended to. The expense attending the annual meeting of our Legislature is altogether disp :opor- tionate to the number of our population; but it is well known that the present Gov- ernment are not responsible for this state of affairs. In 1879 they introduced a bill

TO ABOLISH THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

and if it had not been thwarted by the opposition members in that House, we would have had an annual saving of a con- siderable amount from that time to the present day. The opposition evidently desired to augment our expenditure. so that the Government would be compelled to continue the Davies’ Assessment Act that had proved so obnoxious to the peo- ple. Oa several other occasions the Gov- ernment had endeavored to curtail the expenses of legislation by amalgamating offices and rédtting the number of our representatives, but their efforts were thwarted by the opposition so effectually that we yet have 43 legislators for a popula- tion of about 110,000. Thé Opposition now say they are in favor of abolishing the Legislative Council, and perhaps the fact that the Government has taken no taxes from the people for the last four years, hat had considerable influence in causing them to abandon the’policy they formerly pursued. The Opposition have tried to embarrass the Government in this, as well az in many other questions of im- portance to the Province. They ridiculed our claim for compensation for piers built since Contederation; they advised persons owing the Land Office to withold their payments, and the conviction must force itself on every unprejudiced mind that they wished to so curtail the revenue, that the Government will be compelled to reimpose the Assessment Acton the people. In the province of Ontario, with a population of

nearly 2,000,000, NO LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL

is maintained, and the number of repre- sentatives elected only numbers 89. There the ratio of representation is about one to every 21,000 inhabitants. In Quebec it is about one to «very 15,000, and yet in this province we have one representative to every 2,526. It can thus be seen that we have ten men doing what one man does in Ontario. It was too much to expect this Province to bear 80 great an expense for legislation; and if the Government had not been thwarted by the Opposition, such would not be the case. The second paragraph of the Address referred to the delegation that had proceeded to England to support the memorial forwarded to the foot of the Throne. Although there had been no opposition openly shown by the hon. members of the Opposition in this House, yet it cannot be denied that the Opposition, press had acted differently. The Patr.ot newspaper, which is generally considered to be the organ of that party, had published many articles ridiculing the Government for their action in pressing the fulfilment of the termsof Oonfederation. On the very day the Address to Her Majesty was under consideration, an arti- cle had appeared in that paper. It eaid ; ‘Messrs. Sullivan & Co. are again at it. Now it is an appeal to Her Majesty the Queen, on the subject of the Island’s neg- lected rights and claims, especially in the matter of winter communication with the mainland. The whole thing, on their part, has the appearance of political clap-trap.” It was supposed that the Hon. Leader of the Opposition would second the Address to Her Majesty when passing through the

House, but he (Mr. P.) not being in his place, the hon, member for Sprimgtiela bad

Sixncie Copizs Two CEnts a VOL, 18---NO. 127 been asked to take his leader's place. He (Mr. Sinclsir) refused to do so at the time, ‘and the hon. member for Murray Harbor ‘seconded the motion, After the House ad- journed, it is well known that the kon. |}member for Springfield had his name in- \serted in the journal in place of the se- conder, hoping thereby to make the people

believe that the Opposition party were desirous of

5 | to the Speech delivered by’ His Honor the

In the same way, when the delegation proceeded to England, what de we find the Opposition press saying? In an article headed ‘‘ They Do Not Expect Much,” it said ‘‘ unless they took some such steps they would have no chance at the coming election, though they do not ex- pect much,” again it said ‘ the success which Sullivan & Co. mainly need, a money com- pensation for past neglect, we fear they will not obtain. But they do not look for much. Blessed are they who have small expectations! But then why did they go’ He (Mr. M.) quoted other paragraphs from the same paper all of which he said were calculated to bring the claims of this Pro- vince into ridicule and contempt. ln con- trast to the unworthy action of the Patriot, he commended the action of the Toronto News, a paper published in a different Pro- vince of the Dominion, where no great in- terest would be felt in this question. It said, ‘the dissatisfaction prevailing in Prince Edward Island over the neglect of the Government to carry out the terms upon which the Island entered the union by maintaining

STEAM BOAT COMMUNICATION

with the mainland all winter, has resnlted in the appointment of delegates to proceed to England and urge the enforcement of the Terms of Union, The people of the Island have a strong case, and their claim is all the more reasonable in the light of the enor- mows expense incurred in perfecting com- munication with British Columbia at the other extreme of the Dominion, The steam communication asked for, is a mere flea bite in comparison.’ This is in strik- ing contrast to the views of the Patriot res- pecting the delegation. The only excuse the Patriot had for opposing the sending of the delegation was that the Hon. Leader of the Opposition had not been appointed one of the delegates. The Government-are res- ponsible to the Province for all its actions, and a delegation on so important a mission should be composed of gentlemen in sym- pathy with their general policy. We know that when a former government sent a dele- gation to Ottawa, when the Terms of Con- federation were under discussion, that no member of the Opposition was consulted, and even hon. members supporting them in this House knew nothing of the ‘ midnight trip’ of Messrs. Laird and Haythorne until they had crossed the Straits. If the dele- gation has effected no good the Govern- ment will be responsible for the steps they have taken and must justify their action. During the late contest in the 2nd Legisla- lative Council District of Queen's County the sending of these delegates was fully dis- cussed, and if one half of the stories told by the Opposition had been believed, Mr. Bol- ger would not have been elected by the

HANDSOME MAJORITY HE RECEIVED.

At one meeting it was said that the dele- gates had been commited to the tower of London; at another that one of the dele- gates had gone to Scotland to buy a bull, and that the other had gone to Rome for one; he (Mr. M.) supposed another kind of a bull was meant, Although these stories were industriously circulated, they had no effect on the minds of the electors, who are too intelligent-to be led away with any such clap-trap. The improvement in agriculture, referred to in the next paragraph, must be a matter for congratulation. This improvement is par- ticularly noticeable in stock raising, and greater advancement has been made during the past ten years than in the twenty years that preceded it. Our farmers who have improved cattle and horses obtain good prices for them, and he (Mr. M.) had seen a cow sold by auction a few days ago for the

HANDSOME SUM OF $98.

Horses of improved breeds are also in de- mand, and considering the low prices of all classes of goods, the farmers can obtain as much for their produce as in former years when prices of produce were higher. The Colonial Exhibition will be the means of bringing the several provinces of Canada prominently before the world, and he was glad to know that a creditable exhibit of the productions of the farm, the fisheries and of manufacturing industry had been forwarded. No doubt the other Colonies of the Empire will have agents active in ad- vertiziug the advantages of their respective countries, but he (Mr. M.) believed that our many natural advantages would com- mend this province to the notice of intend- ing immigrants. It was gratifying to know that so excellent an exhibit ofpur education- al system had been forwarded. No province ot the Dominion could show a beiter school system, and the list of school books and examination papers demonstrated that our rising generation will have all the advan- | teges of culture and enlightenment. He believed that this exhibit would have a | good effect, and many desirable immigrants /may be induced to settle amongst us. The | Government have again demonstrated the |great interest they takein the welfare of our farmers, and no doubt good resulta will |follow the importation of improved stock now in transit. The excellent buildings ‘erected on the Stock Farm and Exhibition grounds show that the Government are desirous of

| ADVANCING OUR AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRIES,

and that we never had a Government who did more to encourage our farmers. Phe present importation consisted of 15 sheep, 2 horses, and some other animals.

Mr. Farqunarson—Are they for the Stock Farm?

Mr. A. Martin said he was not very sure, but he understood they were to be wold by public competition, when the hun.
