« NNYSIDE,

THE DAILY EXAMINE

Notraine is or can be more certain not kept within our public revenues, Prince

Edward Island will come to grief. Either

The Liberals,

solemnly

bef re they entered cthce, promised to accomplish this

feat. It must be admitted that they did eomeihing in fulfilment of their promise They heaped up the taxes and enlarged thé revenue. In five years they have taken

out of the pockets of the people upwards

of $200,000. That is to say, they have reduced the people’s capital bere more in five years than the Conservatives did that which was on interest at Ottawain ten

’ no t redu¢

years. Bat they did n tures. On the contrary they increased ¢x- penditures ; and they have added, in round oumbere, $500.0. 0 to the public debt,

So that inetead of redeeming their pro- mise, they have worsened our financia! position to the extent of 500,600.

How are we to better the fioancial posi- tion, seeing that the imposition of taxes willnotdo it? This question was very ably dealt with at the Liberal Conserva- tive conference by Mr. Cyrus Shaw. Mr. Shaw’s idea ia that Provincial expendi- ture must be strictly limited to the bounds of Provincial revenue, and that distrcts and sections of the country desiring special advantages or improvements must them~ selyes, in the future. contribute the money that may be required in order that they may be provided.

This ideais a statesmanlike one, and well worthly of consideration. Needless to say, the Liberals in office took the opposite course. They promoted epecial improvements, at the expenee of the Pro- vince, for those who gave them yotes. That was their plan. They expended more on roads, more on schools, more on other things, buying,in this way their legislative majority, but all the while worsening our financial position. Every- one remembers the large unvecessary expenditures on roade in certain «electoral districts, particularly in the fall of 1893. But a better example of Liberal methods is found in our schools. After the dis~ missal of Superintendeat Nichol- son, they proceeded to open anoamber of new school districts, and to lower the standard of attendance at the schools. They passed an act setting forth that “with regard to any districts hereto- fore created or hereafter created, no court |
