Notes bylhe Way

It is worth while for the electors o1 this Province to consider our position and that of the Maritimes in relation to the Dominion and, also our relation to the political parties with which we have to do. in our relations with the Dominion: the most conspicuous fact is that; ws have not prospered as the slxl larger provinces to the westwaid, lhave prospered since the (‘nion of‘, ‘llitlf.

Maritime Flights figured as a con- siderable factor ln the October election, along with other matters for which the King (luvertlment was blamed, with the general result ltllat the tfonservtttive party swept the three provinces. Three Cabinet Ministers were defeated in the thl-ce provinces, and otit of 29 seats only six returned supporters of the Government. Prince Edward Island regrettably and nnaccoulltzvbly re- turned two members ill support of the Government of the day and two in opposition thereto.

Since October last the King Gov- ernment has had but two support- ers from this lProvlnce. They have labored even harder than the {our ’ of Drevious years to save the King Government.

No rational patriotic citizen who is not party-mad can desire the return of the Liberal-Progressive combination to power.

in thc extracts quoted lhelow fioin the Islander newspaper will he found proof of what was done 64 years ago to advertise the resourc- es and progress of this now pros- perous slid unsurpassed field for immigration and enterprise.

The lflltlll who then did heroic work have since laid down the bur-l den and it has fallen upon thel sturdy islanders of today to spread the gospel of progress for the gen- erations of the future. And fortun- ately we have many of such types of’ ineil, to occupy the arena of suc- cess at home and abroad. At home they are making the Province bloom and flourisli—lllaklng the fields alld dales smile with Elysian radiance and glow with floral charms; we have enterprising, well-kilowii pro- moters of industry and progress such as .\lr.

What could inspire greater hope than to take note of such in- telligent effort to secure success ill this new field uf endeavor not only for the present, btit far into the future. Till-y are giving inspiration and rlflflillg example, just as was dolls- by the men of the past to whom we have directed attention. ‘it is a pleasure to us always to pay tribute to such men, but we cannot enumerate the many who deserve to be named as well as the few. But their time will collie ill due troursa when the honor roll sllall bu. all read.

The occasion which called for those remarks was the part this island played at the international Exhibition held lii the year 1862, in London, England. Tile Islander says: "The production of so s-niall a country, one which is almost ex- clusively agricultural, is ilecessari- ly llnlitcti. The fact, howeventhat ill tlle island department the tirticl- es exhibited are exclusively oi‘ the ordinary production of the Colony, such as grain, woolen alld lillcll cloths, agricultural inlplenlellts and articles by our ca-blltct lllttkers from native wood, appear to have clailn- ed for oiir contribution‘ greater lio- tit-c than they would have received‘ had they been specially manufac- tured for exhibition.“

“.\ir. Haszard, our Commissioner, aptlezirs to have discharged his] part most creditnbly from all ac- counts that hnve reached us, we are led to believe that the Govern- ment have nluclt reason to coligrat ulatc themselves upon his appoinb, lllcllt."

it is evident frolll those coni- lllellts that our exhibit scored quitei a success anti afforded much satis- faction and made a popular name‘ for our Province. . Ill tile ilattcriilg remarks already. quoted wc lmust not omit those of the Dill-in of Newcastle, who wrote as follows on the (‘oloilial exhibits, viz:

"It is impossible that such a dis- play of what the Colonial portion of the British i-Jtnpire can produce_ should bc without a very material] influence upon the future prospects‘ and prosperity of each of them.
