PEOPLE’S BATTLE.

tHE

Weare called to task by the Patriot for daring to give the people of Prince Edward Island the’ most prominent place in the contest that is now on. This we maintain isthe People’s battle as against @ One-man-government, under constitution- al forms. But the Patriot contends that

we have no right to speak for tbe People,

because the People at the last elec- tion gave the Hon. Mr. Peters’ an overwhelming majority. The Patriot

forgets that the people have since 1893 had several eye-openers, and that they have had cause to look at matters Provin- cial from another point of view. Then the people were untaxed, and the prospect of taxation was held by Mr. Peters to be “far

off,” while the assurance was given that ends would be “made to meet.” Now he people are taxed and there is a sure prospect of increased taxation as the result

fan additional load of debt,—unless a radical change, such as the Hon. Daniel Grordon promises, is effected. The people now see that Tae Examiner was right in 1893 and the Hon. Mr. Peters wrong; and

che people, unless all signs fail, will vote now according te their new found know-

THE CARDIGAN DISTRICT.

Macdonald and Shaw Unanimously Nom-

inated. —Bright Prospects,

A convention of the Liberal-Conserva- tive party in the Third [Electoral District of Kings County, was at Cardigan yesterday. Every poiling division was

represented by a large and enthusiastic staif of delegates. Me. Jobn J. Macdon ald, of Montague, presided, and the under- signed acted as secretary.

Cyrus Shaw and James I. Macdonald were unani.oously nominated as the Liberal-Conservative stanclard-bearers ‘for the district.

Mr. Macdonald spoke briefly, accepting the nomination and expressing his deter- mination of winning,

Mr. Shaw also accepted, niaking a ring- ing speech in the course of which he sharply criticised the conduct of the Peters administration and exposed their mismanagement of the finances of the province. He also submitted the platform of the party, as formulated by Hon, Daviel Gordon, and it was adopted by tle meeting.

The prospects for the election of Messrs Macdonald and Shaw were never better

than they are at present, and the party look forward to their triumphant return On the 2] st. J. A. Dewar, Secretary.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Sir Wilfred is having a really good time in London. It is reported that he com- plained that he was in a fair way to be “killed by kindness.” Upon bis return he is to be dined and wined in Montreal. Well the moito of the government’s party seems to be “fa short life and a merry one.”’

—Le Courrier du Canada’s Ottawa correspondent says, “the entire Honse is against Tarte as can be seen by the amendments proposed by his own partisans against credits of bis department and by the violence of his enemies in both Houses. There is a rumor round tbat during the vacation an effort will be made to get rid of him, but then Tarte is not the man to be easily thrown overboard.”

TRADE AT HOME.

—s~

Wz are glad to note that the Guardian is using its influence in favor of the home trader. This is an important matter, fre- quently discussed by Taz Ex’ ner. We have repeatedly set forth the duty of dealing with our home manufacturers and merchants, those who live among us and spend their profits here rather than with outsiders. The Guardian points out that:

“Our resident merchants spend the profits of their busiaess in our midst; they pay heavy taxes from year to year; they give employment toour young men and women behind their counters and in their counting rooms ; they help to build up our city and province by supporting our provincial and civic institutions, our churches and charities. They advertise in our newspapers,purchase produce from our farmers, and swell the revenues of the coun try by the du‘ies paid the custom house.

The purchaser will know of whom he is buying; he will have in the character and reputation of the merchant a guarantee that the goods are as represented; he will have the opportunity to exchange goods that may not meet his approbation; and the entire profits of the transaction whether to bnyer or seller will remain here in Char- lottetown.”

All this is true and very well put. Even the principle of “buying in the cheapest market” has its reasonable limitations. But experience has proved that, as a rule, we can buy as cheaply from our own local manufacturers and merchants resident ia Charlottetown, Summerside, Souris, Alber- ton and other towns as from those who carry our money away forthe enrichment of other communities.

SCOTT ACT MANIFESTO. To the people of P. E. Island:

Waar will you have, Scott Acs or Free Rum? We will after election day,

The times are laden with golden oppor- tunities for, and woeful dangers to, the

have one or the other

cause of temperance; and it behooves men and women everywhere to be in real and active earnest in ‘promoting temperance and denouncing the liquor trattic.

Charlottetown holds the key of sobriety

or drunkenness for this Province. The Scott Actelection, to be held July 22nd decides which door will be opened—whether | from the “fountain head of P. E. Island | will flow a+team of good or one of damn- ng influence, ccntaminating more or less every boy and girl, every man and woman in this province. The enemy is strongly entrenched in this city. Its wealth and power is concentrated here and will fight as never before for its very existence. It is tenfold barder to drive liquor out of the city than out of the country.

The success or defeat of the Scott Act will not only strongly affect, for weal or woe, the people of P.‘E. Island for some years to come but will have a pronounced effect upon the coming Plebiscite. The eyes of this great Dominion are on us, and the result of this election will be strongly felt by the people from the Atlantic to the shores of the Pacific. Mr. F.S. Spence, of Toronto, in writing, saysZit will bea great calamity tothe temperance cause if the Scott Act is defeated in Charlottetown.

Now then, in view of these things, we ask | for your sympathy and financial aid. May God give us all wisdom and power to fight | and maintain His cause.
