We find

18{

own Mr. Bell—essayed to answer this question, and havipg done so as well as he could, be added ;

some three years ago, introduced resolu- tions into this House jooking towards the construction of certain branch railways in

money that was to he expended in their | construction was largely in excess of the Amount now proposed to be expended ;_ so that our hon. friends of the Conservative | party have nocauee to complain if we are | following in a slight degree the precedents which they themselves established.

Following Mr. Bell came Mr. McMullen | wel] known as a leading Liberal, who assai’- | ed the Conservative Government for build- | ing and proposing so many branch rail- waye, end raid :—

“Weare given to understand that Sir Charlee Tupper, when he weni to Prince Edward Isiand previous to the last election, in order to carry the province, promised that if he were returned as Premier he would build not only this line, but no ‘ees than seven lines in Prince Edward Island. The result is, I presume, that the preeent Government are compelledto take into! cousideration some of these claims, if they sre to have any foothold at all.”

Mr. McMullen forgetting for the nonce the immense expenditure of last year and this year—went on to denounce the policy of the Conrervative Government and the branch railways and to argue that the'

present administration was putting a stop | He said :— They have however made wonderful pro- | grees in that direction, for they are only | building one line, whereas if we had the bon. leader of the Opposition in power we would be building a number of lines.

Mr. Macdonald aleo took cussion, and did not forget to again direct

part in the dis»

attention to the excessive railway rates

charged here. But we bave to-day only space for the remarks of Mesers. Haggart and Foster, as reported in Hansard:

“Mr I desire to éay orly a few words ip f the contention of my hon. frievd from Prince Edwaid 'Islaud (Mr. Martin). His statement is literally correct. On entering confederu- | tion, Prince Edward Island was charged | $3,144,000 for the read partly conetructed and partly to be constructed. They were

entitled, in other words, to $3,144,000 in leash. They said to the Government: You take this vndertaking off our bende and charge us with the amount. And so the Government astumed theroad. If the | rosd was a paying concern, the people of

| $150 000 a year. But it was not a paying raised by Mr. McMullen. Mr. Bell—our!

concern; we lost on it at the rate of of $70,000 a year. I think that is a fair charge to be made against the interest which they would beentitledto. We came to the conclusion that they were entitled

And so I brought down some resolutions to the Houee to graut subsidies to different lines of railwaye in Prince Edward Ieland—

The Minister of Finance—That ie, the votes to build them?

Mr Haggart. Yes, not them in the ordinary eanee. One was the very road pow under diecussion. I think the Government are perfectly justified in proposing it. This road is a road which the people of Prince Edward Ieland have set their'bearts upop. They are_entitled to eome consideration from the Government in the shape of a@ eubsidy or balance to make up a subsidy which they were enti- tled to atconfederation. I think it would have been better if the Government had followed the resolutions ‘vhich I intro duced into the House and undertaken the whole ef these roads at once. If Il remem-~ ber rightly, these lixes included one from the main line to Stanley Bridge, another from the main line to Rastico,another from North Wiltshire to Crapaud, two little lines in the direction of Richmond bay, and one from Charlottetowa—besides the one now under discnesion.

The Minister of Railways and Canals. What was the mileage altogether ?

Mr. Haggart. According to my recol~ lection, it was about 105 miles. Though I have often been charged with heresy and often laughed at for it, lam of the tame opinion as tbe hon Mounister of Finance (Mr. Fielding,) that when fer Dominion purposes, large expenditures were made ip one part of the country, it is sound public policy, and it ig just, that expenditure to counterbalance these should be made in other parts which are not berefited by the first expenditures. In sepite of ail the

to subsidize

| charges of hereey,I have never got that out

of my head yet. Prince Edward Island has received nothing in the shape of eubsidies to railways atany time. Ii is entitled to

ite suare; and if the people have set their

hearts on these little limes of railway, they should bave them. The charge to the

country,would not amount to over $25,000, or $30,000 a year. Even if it amounted to $70.000, and the deficit on the Prince Edwaro I-land Railway was ovly $70,000 it would be only fair-play and just to

making “wonderful progress” as Mr. Mc- | Prince Edward Island under the terms of ' confederation.

Those were the principal grounds on sich I introduced the re-oluuion. I was aware that ‘nstead of receiving a eubstan- tial revenue from it the probabilities were that there would be a deficit. I calculated on this deficit, and on those grounds I ins troduced the resolution. The hon. mem-

to the party indicated by them. They say’! ber for North Wellington (Mr. McMullen)

finds fault with the resolution which I in- troduced. He says it is compulsory on the Government now to introduce resolu- tions ig this particular direction because

was truly admirable, setting forth very{ we promised so much, and they had to

perform partof it. The hon. gentleman is prepared to swallow his worde in detail ; | ne will swallow a resolution for this part

of the railway, and next year, I suppose, if | the Minister of railwaye and Canals brings

down another resolution; he will swallow

‘that. He finds fault with the manner in which I kept the accounts } for the Intercolonial Rail-

of the Intercolonial Railway, the Oxford and New Glasgow branch, the Cape Breton branch and othere, I purposely added the whole of the receipts and expenditures into one account for the purpose of confusing the country. Iidid not do what the Minis- ter whom he is supporting does— confuse them by addirg the Drummond and Mon-

treal section of the Intercolonial Railway,

potwithetanding the promise of his collea- gue in snother branch of Parliament and the promise given to the country in this House that we would have a detailed account of the receipts and expenditures from that road. I only mention there things for the purpose of replving to the member for North Wellington, and for the purpose of seupportirg this undertaking, whicb the menrbers from Prisce Edward Island bave so much at beart.

Mr Fcster—Has the route been decided upon betweeu Chmlottetown ard Murray

Harhos ? The Minister of Railways and Canale— Yes. We are goingio as direct a course

as possibie, Surveys have been made, but I think they will requireto be gone over again. But substantially we are pur-~ suing as direct a course as possible from Charlottetown, crossing the Hillsboro River direct to Murray Harbor. The line is 44 miles long.’

Mr. Foster—Doesthe provincia) legis- lature grant anything towards thie line?

The Minister of Railways and Canals— Yes, The bon. gentleman will find in “Han- sard” what have eaid onthis subject. They engage to pay one-half tbe estimated cost of the bridge. $400,000 would be one-half the cost ofthe bridge and they engage to pay 3 per cent interest upon that amount, or $12,000, in consideration of our waking not only arailway bridge but & highwar for foot-passengers over the bridge. They pay that for al] time.

Mr. Foster— The ex-Minister of Rail- ways end Canals has brought to the atien- tion of the House the resolutions which were introduced in 1890 by the Govern- ment of that day. I remember going very carefully into the matter with my hop. friend and anotber member of the Govern- ment asacommittee. We did not go into it in connection with this one particular part of the island, but we went into it with reference to the different parts of the island, with an idea of proposing and carryiog out such branch roade ae, when fally completed would connect every portion of the island which it seemed tous bad need of coms munication with the mainland, and out of which we believed that a fair traffic could be got. I know we went very carefully into tbe questions of coste and returns with the officers cf the Railway Depertment. My bon. friend eays that he faced a deficit as a resalt. [ thiok from memory, that the deficit "he faced was very emal! when it was put over a number of years We thought it was small in view of a probable fair accretion of traffic, and we came to the conclusion that if theee were once built every section ofthe Ieland that could call for connection with the mainland would be satiefied, and .‘:at in the end the deficit would not be greater than ai the present time, if indeed it was not made less. Itis true that,Prince Edward Island is @ maritime province. It is indented everywhere with emall bays; and it is true as well that the railway did a larger part of the traftic of Prince Edward Islaod in those days than can be done by water, and thie is part, [ think, of the economical policy. With reference to this line, coux sidering its deficit and its cost in the past I thick it is part of an economica) policy

that these branch lines should be built —not profus !*, but where there is a poe- sibility fo) return from the traffic, and

that they +i i at once be made feeders to the main line acd concentrate the traffic into the main line,

Then I think by a fair and ecenomica) masagement, not only will you satisfy the needs of the island, but I believe sou will put the whole traffic of the island with refzrence to the Intercolonial raiiway and its branches, ip such a position that the deticit will not be any greater, if it is not, indeed, much less, than it is ct the present time. That is my recollection of the re eult that we came tu as a Consequence of a pretty thorough etudy of the subject in connection with the Department of Rail- ways. We brought those resolutions down to the House,and if we had remained in power we would have carried them through, and not only Murray Harbor, bu: the other sections of the Island which de- manded them, as they do now, these ad vantages, would have had these lines of communication. On that basisI cannot do anything else but cupport thie vote, which :s only a part of our scheme, and I am only serry the Min- ister has not carried out the plans outlined by the department under the management of my hon. friend, and completed this system by a network of emall lives which would have called in to the mann line the traffic from the outlying portione. Sol am in favour of this vote, not only because I believe it is right, but because i: was part of our own policy when we were in power, & part only and not the whole of it. The hon. member for North Wellington made a most unfortunate slip from the view of political morals when he brought himee!f down to the sticking point, Although he himself is opposed to this vote broughtin by the Minister of Railways and Canals, still be thinks the Minister should bring it in because if he did not, the other partly would get ahead of him, Now, that 18 the baldest kind of politica] corruption with regard to subsidies.

There is notrace of the apologetic tone of members and supporters of the govern- ment in the remarks of Messrs Haggart

and Foster. Grants for the construction of the Belfast and Murray Harbor railway and the other branch railways which the Conservatives proposed to build in this Province are justified in a manly and states- mavlike way upon the good grounde of justice and business by leading members of the Conservative party. Looking at al] the facts and circumstances, there can be

po doubt, as Messrs. Bell and McMullen imply, that “ the Conservatives did it.”
