Keep it Before the Peopie. , l'o the Editor

Sir,—I think that this fact should be kept prominently before the country, that the only policy of the present opposition as enunciated by their Candidates and Leaders in the Market Hall on Thursday night last was a policy of Taxation. The ex-chief of the party ex-Governor Laird who was called on toaddress the meeting gave it as his opinion that the people of this country should be taxed to the tune of forty-five or fifty thousand dollars a year—and this, in the face of the fact that we have a surplus of $14,000 in the Treasury, of receipts over expenditure last year! Why is this de- mand for taxation by the Grits of this j Island made so persistently? I think, sir, that one of the principal reasons is that 'Mr. L. H. Davies, when he was ignomini- joasly hurled from power, said that he would stake his political reputation (what- ever that amounts to) on the fact that the Assessment Act could not be repealed! The present Government, by strict economy, have been able to wipe off the legacy of

and te repeal the Assessment Act. Hence {the cry and the discomfiture of the Oppo- sition. The howl about broken promises came With a very bad grace from Mr. Laird, the man who cheated the people of Belfast out of a Branch Railway by his deception. *% To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srr,—I was somewhat anxious to hear the maiden political speech of Mr. Fred Peters. I thought that there might be at least as much ingenuity displayed by him in fixing up a platform for the Opposition as there was in the advocacy of certain claims, not long since, which were opposed to the best interests of the mechaniés of Charlottetown, but also Il was doomed to disappointment. The burden of his cry, too, was taxation for the country. True to his instincts he waxed worthy against the Government for taking off the tax-eurse ; made some allusion to the ‘* Lien Act.” What a friend to the mechanics Mr. Peters has suddenly become. Blew off some gas about the Fishery Award, and on being reminded by the Chairman that he had forgotten ‘‘ winter communication,” made a few remarks on that subject to the effect that if we could not have Steam Oom- munication we should have the ice boats put on the very best footing! Is this the policy of the Opposition on winter communication ! The most important question that can occupy the attention of our people? The terms of confederation on this point are expressed in plain and easily understood English,-— there is not even a loophole for. the Dominion Government to creep. out of—they must be literally fulfilled if our people rise up and demand it, or we must be properly indemnified if the terms can not be earried out. There

says, as an exponent of the views of the Opposition, ‘‘ we want the iceboats put on a better footing.” From such advocates of P. E. Island interests may Heaven de liver us. ELecrok. April 24, 1882.

Letter from Fort Augustus.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dear Sir,—In the last issue of the New Era there appears a communication over the signature of ‘‘One of Yourselves” purporting to be written a‘ Fort Augustus and expressing the politicai feelings of the people of this vicinity combined with a strong appeal to the Irishmen cf Fort Augustus to rise en masse on election day and extend a severe castigation to Sullivan and Ferguson for their anti-Irish tendencies.

said Jetter was never inspirel or written by any resident of Fort Augustus, nor

of this place.

Such a production appears to be like what would emanate from an importation from the old country who had escaped unwhipt of justice, and whose knowledge of a Fenian Association would be greater than his knowledge of the political situation of the people of this country. A surplus or a deficit effects him very little, and ere loug the New Hra will find such productions will not conduce to the welfare or cir- culation of said journal, Tho editor of the New Evra is very well aware, if his corres- pondent is not, that the electors of Fort Augustus can be classed amongst the most intelligent and most respectable voters this Province can produce. The Irishmen of Fort Augustus care not whether it be William Wilfred Sullivan or Louis H. Davi’s that is Leader of the Government of Prince Edward Island, providing they manage the public affairs of the country in such an economical and judicious manner as will meet the approbation of the general public. At the same time the electors of the Third Electoral District of Queen’s County can thoroughly understand and are capable of drawing just conclusions between Sullivan’s and Ferguson’s Administration of public affaira for the last four years in coming out with a surplus of $12,000, and Davies, Stewart and Beer who only could manage to hold a Govern- ment together for about two years through their réckless extravagance and mismanagement in imposing a tax of some $45,000 a year upon the taxpayers of this Province, and still coming out with a de- ficit of some $52,000.

No doubt this letter of ‘‘ One of Your selves” would never have appeared in print in the New Hra only with the view of gaining a few votes from the Irish element of the District for Mr. Beer in his hour of need. But the political career of

$45,000 to $50,000 Taxation.—

debt which he left against the Province, |

are millions in it; and yet Mr. Fred. Peters |

Now I wish to inform the public that}

does it meet with the approval of the people |

the ex-Speaker is too well known to the taxpayers of this District, whom he sad- dled with some $38,000 by his casting vote on the Assessment Act. is still fresh in the memory of his then constituents ; and the New Hira, nor its

national cry egainst Sullivan & Co. that is going to pave the way to Parliament for Mr. Beer or materially assist Mr. Bowers in St. Peter’s District. That thing is played cut here. No artful dodges will do. Myr. Beer, will have te stand by his past perliamentary actions for success or de- feat, and when election day comes he will find the constituency of Fort Augustus will tell him, as they teld him before, that he taxed us without reason or consultation for the sake of offite, thereby keeping a cor- rupt and extravagant Government ruling the destinies of this country, and we are afraid to trust him again. Yours truly, MICKEY. Fort Augustus, April 24, 1882, Public Meeting at Breadaibane. | _

GOVERNMENT VICTORY.

Pursuant to notice, a political meeting of the electors of Bradalbane and adjacent sstilements was held in the Bradalbane | Hall, on Saturday evening, the 22nd inst. The meeting was called to order by ap- pointing Mr. Donald N. Nicholson to the chair, the undersigned acting as Secretary.

After a few preliminary remarks from the Chairman,

Donatp Cameron, Esq., being present, was called upon to address the meeting. He began by stating that when the present Government came into power they. found the fimances of the country in a very un- saiisfactory condition, there being an actual deficit of $38,000 left by their pre- cecessors which had to be paid by the present party in power. He went on to show the énormous saving of public moneys effected by the Government in the different departments during the last three years, and wound up by dealing some heavy blows on the members of the Legislative Council for not passing the Act brought in by the Assembly to abolish that august body.

Jonn Hucnus, Esq., next addressed the meeting at some length. He said the Gov- ernment had retained Assessment Act al- though they had promised at the last general election to repeal it. He did not believe the Government of the coun- try could be run without taxation,

The following resolutions were then sub- mitted to the meeting:—

Moved by E. Turner, Esq., seconded by James Eliot, Esq.,— :

That Whereas, The Government have, dur- ing their term of power, acted in strict ac- cordance with the promises made by them at the last General Election, and enacted a sys- tem of retrenchment and economy compatibly to the well understood wishes of the electors of this Province.

Therefore Resolved, That this meeting ex. | presses its entire satisfaction at the manner in ‘which the public affairs have been conducted by the Government. | Further Resolved, Messrs. W. Campbell and | D. Cameron be requested to allow themselves

_to be put in nomination to contest this the First Electoral District of Queen’s County at the coming election, in the interests of the ‘evernment.

The following amendment to the resolu: tion was moved by John Huyhes, Esq., and seconded by Mr. Hector McDonald.

Whereas, We, the electors of the First Dis- trict of Queen’s County, consider the present Government have failed to redeem their prom- ises, and have not given satisfaction during theis term.

Therefore Resolved, That we will only sup- port men favoring the present Opposition, in whem we can confide,

On a vote being taken, the resolution was sustained by a very large majority, ten only voting for the amendment.

Moved by Mr. Samuel Kennedy, sec- onded by John McLeod, Esq., that the proceedings of the meeting be sent for pub- lication to the Darty Examuyer and Patriot newspapers.

The meeting then quietly dispersed.

Eowanrp ToRNER, Secretary. Bradalbane, April 22nd, 1882.

In twe, if not in more, of the provinces of France, the cry of ‘‘Tho Wolf!’ is again being raised by the peasantry. Amid the hills of Cevennes and the chestnut forests of the south of Limousin the wolves have of late years been increasing in num- bers, and have ventured upon attacking the cultivators of the soil. The louvetier, whose duty it is to stop the ravages of these animals, knows very well that were they exterminated his office and his pleas- ure would both be gone ; and if he moves at all it is generally to march into ‘the company of a motley crew whose shots are usually more dangerous to themselves than to the wolves. Hitherto, the price of a wolf’s head has been cofsiderably Jess than £5, and there has not been any inducement for a practical shot to enter upon the pur- suit. The peasantry now demand that the reward for the destruction of each animal shall be raised at least twelvefold.

People of advauced ideas are never slow to recognize that which will result in the greatest benefit to their wealth, health and happiness ; such people never fail to per- ceive the great benefit resulting from the use of St. Jacobs Oil, when afflicted by rheumatism. Wm. H. Wareing, Esq., Asst. General Superintendent Third Divi- sion Mailing and Distributing Department, New York Post Office, in writing concern-

ing St. Jacobs Oil says: The reports from several superintendents and clerks who

have used the Oil agree in praising it highly. It has been found efficacious in cuts, burns, soreness and stiffness of the joints and muscles, and affords a read relief for rheumatic complaints. Hon. T. L. James, now Postmaster-General of the

United States concurred in the foregoing.
