Love will teach us all things; but we must learn how to win love: it is got with difficulty; it is a poa- sesslon dearly bought with much labor and. in long time; for one must love not sometlmsso ly, for a panning moment, but always.

There is no man who doth not sometimes love; even the wiclfed can do that. _

And let not men's sin disheart- an thee; love a man even in his sin, for that love in a likeness of

benefit have our people derived therefrom? These are question for Prince Edward island nxpny- ers to lay to heart and ans er for themselves.

Ii the above recital reads like the language of complaint, there is just cause for it. And there is more to follow. One by one old time offices, powers and privileges essential to the conservation of our rights and uircstlge its it Province, have been taken away, dimlnshed or degraded. The island was once a military district. it had once a resident Superintendent of its -railwuy wltii important and useful powers; there was once a Soldier's Settlement Board here in Charlottetown, also a Dominion lm lliigration and Publicity Agency. What has become 01' lllelll? The answer is, removed to Halifax or to Si. John, or to Moncion or that the office has been abolished or degraded. And the wonk offilenud- lng our fair island of its status still goes on.

‘Tile latest effort. as noted rs- cently in these columns. was to ,abollsh the office of Post Office flpspector ‘in this province_ now said to be limited to, taking away of half his former powers and {transferring them to a new official with headquarters at Moncton. lt is easy to sea in all these move- ments flflli ndvancing process which if not checked resolutely and in time will lead on to the dcs itructlon of our provincial exist - ence. Already there is a strong movement on foot in Nova Scotizt in unite the three ‘Maritime Prov- vlnces in one. Almost the entire people of that province. which for twenty years remained nllnr-st it revolt. against the union with Cilll" tide, are in favor of Maritime Union. Possibly the fact that Ncivu ‘Scotia with a population consider- able greater lthcm that of New Ilrunswick nnd Prince IEdwartl ls- land taken together, would abso- lutely dominate the union, may sup ply thereasun for their imilnlmity.

The official powers that be at 0t- trlwa. whether Conservative or Lille ral are disposed toward, Maritime Union, simply because it would he easier to deal with one province than with three. They, like 0il|' nlaritime follow citizens of the ntalnlanu, may be acquitted of any malice towllrd us. They arc self- interested" and neglectful of ls- land interests. That is all. But if not checked in time lmnlnland self- interest would take away from Prince Edward Island’ its govern- ment, its governor, its legislature, its supreme court its provincial capital, along with all that remains of its provincial status. and reduce our island province to an insigni-

That, l think, is a most 81'"- llyinxglytufe of our present finan- cill operations. it is one, that. perhaps, we would not be disposed to take very much note of; but it in one deserving of the greatest possible consideration; it is one that ‘shows bow carefully our flnan cos have been guarded; bow care- fully avery phase of our public bu- siness and iflscal operations have beqnx-tllen care of by the Govern- ment iind the Minister of Finance-

With regard to the financial op- erations of last year, no new loans have been issued. and i tllink that is a matter for congratulation. I think it is also a mlltter for con~ gratuhttlon that in view of lllfl world wide trade conditions, Cana- da. has come through this trying period with a better showing than most other countries. Our p081- tlon in comparison with other coun tries of the world is really an en- viable one. ' i

Turning to the current year ill!- on which we have just entered, the uncertainty is no doubt greater even than last year, especially as to the revenues of the country. There are many reasons for this. in the first place, the Finance Min ister finds it very difficult accu- rately to forecast wllut the prob- able revenues may be. This un- certainty is due to several causes. He feels satisfied, lloweven-that the revenue from customs taxation will ‘be somewhat diminished. Again. we have to take into ac- count the tariff legislation which has just been passed by the Unit- ed lStates. it is difficult in see just what the future holds in store. in that direction; there may be some further legislation in this Parliament which may ameliorate present conditions, but so far as we can size up the present situat- ion a diminished customs revenue is expected, and we have the Young Tariff Bill imposed against us as well as other countries by the United States so the situation this year presents considerable difficulty [for the Finance Minister.

fFrom ordinary sources the F.1- nance Minister expects to raise unless all signs full, n minimum of $373,600,000. The llllllfl estimates for the year lluvc already been ta- bled; there may the, however, some Supplementary Estimates brought down. Altogether, the Finance Minister calculates that. a total rc- venue should be raised this yenr 0f at least $435,860,971. The out- loo-k, it must be confessed, is not the most encouraging, but I um sut lsfietl that lfrom the taxes the Fl- nanre Minister ls imposing, toge- ther with tile revenue we elfpect to receive from one or two other sources, we shall raise sufficient to enable us to make up the differ- ence between our expenditure and our ordinary revenue. -

Tile-re is Ifor instance, the new‘ stiles tax. There is no doubt at’ iiII that the revenue from that will: be very much increased this year over last. Then there is the in-l crease in the liquor duties, from, $5 to $10 per gallon. Probably! we shall not have any liquor in Cu- Ililllil. at ull now, because there ls‘ prohibition in nearly nil of the Provinces. However, if any ll-

quor is obtainable, tilose who drink will have to pay the price, and l Most

suppose that is only right.
