THE NEW POLICY.|

WHAT IT INVOLVES.

——————

Speech of Hon. George Poster,

(Hansard Report.) [CONTINUED. |

I venture to say, Sir, while reviewing all the arguments adduced by the hon. gentleman that he has not proved necessity for his heroic remedy. On the contrary let hon. gentlemen look at the state of the country as it exists to-day. Wasiteverin a sounder state in! every way? If you look at its position you ! will see that the credit of Canada was never higher than it is to-day, when our four per cents. reach the overtopping figure of 111, 1114 or 1129.

Sir Jonn A. Macponatp.—113 now.

Mr. Fosterk.—113 now my hon. friend in- forms me, Yes, Sir, if there was something , radically wrong which needs that terrible heroic remedy, which needs that revolution- ary plaster applied to it in the body politic of the Dominion of Canada, how isit that the wide awake financiers of the great money centres of the world consider the credit of Canada so good that her consols are constantly appreciated in value and constantly sought after by them as collaterals, as stock and securities. There is another important fea- ture in the case,

THE REVENUE OF THIS COUNTRY IS IM- PROVING.

A few years ago when, because of certain reasons, there was a deficit for one or two years, there might have been some grounds for saying we needed aremedy, That has passed away, and to-day the revenue is more than meeting the ordinary expenditure of the country. Then again, Sir, the extraordinary public. works are well provided for, Our canals and our great lines of railway which have cost the country so many millions of doilars are now completed. They are as good for fifty millions of people as they are for five millions, and it will not be necessary to under- take the extra expense of building those pub- lic works again. They need not be duplicated. Once built, they stand for the use of the pco- ple of this country though they be never so numerous or never so prosperous. The trade of this country has improved and is increasing daily ; not. only the foreign trade but the inter-provincial trade as well, and afterall the true prosperity of the country depends more upon the variety and extent of _ this inter-provincial trade than it does on its foreign trade. The United States of America is one of the best examples of what I say. Again, the manufacturing industries of this country are in a better condition than they have ever been in the history of Canada. Time was four or five years ago when disasters were retens our manufacturing industries to a greater or less extent, and when there might have been some greund for claiming on that behalf the need of a heroic remedy. To-day our manufacturing industries are stable and sound, paying fair dividends to those who put money in them, as they should, and giving out their products tothe people at low prices, owing to the competition, as is right and natural, and as they should as well. There is nothing, then, in the state of the manufacturing industries of the country to call for heroic. treatment. What about the etnies of the country’? Have you watched the

PAYMENTS AT THE BANKS

within the past few days? Have they not been satisfactory from Halifax to Victoria? Have you read the accounts of the bank managers? Have they not given a good account of the business of the country? But appeal to your own experience : Is it not true that throughout Canada, from one end to the other, though there may be cases of difficulty here and there, as there always will be, the business of the country is ona stable, firm and sound foundation, and the people are satisfied with the prospects from a business point of view. Our soil is giving forth its good crops —abundant crops in some parts of the country—and the crop of this year has brought a fair average return, Taking al] these things into consideration as the reverse of the picture which has been shown to us from the other side of the House, have we not good ground for saying that not only is the case of my hon. friend from South Oxford not proven but that a ‘strong case stands apparent before every hon. tpouabiot for not disturbing the present relations, on the grouad that under present conditions the country is fairly prosper- ous, and its future seems fairly well assured ? Then, Sir, why this cry? I have noted the reason before: It is because hon. gentlemen opposite, having attempted to climb into power, by attaching themselves to this issue and that issue, to this fad and that fad, having made their bids to the people from unworthy motives and on unworthy grounds in many instances, have been shaken off from the skirts of the garments oi the country, and find themselves to-day without a cry ; and so they ring about again the old gospel of dis. content, and appeal to the widest and strong- est class we have in this country, hoping to raise and rouse the farming community into discontent, and thinking thereby that they

‘farmers count for nothing ?

VOL. 22.—NO. 106. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

New London Packet Service Once More.

Sir,—I do not intend to occupy much of your valuable space in replying to 8. H. Brown’s latest effusion in the Patriot, as I consider that the New London packet fraud has been already sufficiently ventilated to show all fairminded persons that the people of New London receive little or no benefit from the annual grant for packet service these last four or five years, or since the present con- tractor has ot Kates of the service—how- ever long that may be.

In my last letter I sliowed plainly how the New London packet had avoided per- forming packet service ; and S. H. Brown has not contradicted one of my statements, nor will he, while he still possesses the least re- gard for the truth. He is satisfied with the packet service, because the contractor calls or notifies him by letter as to the movements of the packet, and he presumes that he notifies others. He may notify a few merchants at Stanley; who, in return for this faver, feel compelled to sign his certificate in the fall, But I would ask if the merchants are the people of New London, or was the packet service instituted for them alone’? Do the Have they no elaim to accommodation ?—it would seem not, as the contractor did not notify themt One of the merchants of Stanley toid me tha. his name was put to the packet certificate without his knowledge, and another merchant told me that the packet service, as conducted lately, was of no benefit to him, and some of the principal fishermen at New London har- bor refused to sign the certificate last fall. I have conversed with quite a number of farm- ers on this matter, and they are all of the one opinion, viz: that the packet service these last few years isa fraud of the worst kind, and a fraud that they do not feel like sub- mitting to any longer. Mr. Brown complains that he does not know who ‘* Taxpayer” is. Well, to give him a clue that he can follow up, I will just say that be is none of the kid glov- ed gentry, but only a farmer who lives in an humble abode, and who, by hard work and close attention to business, has always been able to pay 100 cents to the dollar, and one who would like to see government contracts so carried out that all taxpayers might be benefited by the expenditure of the public money.

TAXPAYER.

New London, March 27th, 1888.

The Independent (?) Councillor.

Srr,—When Mr. Kickham, one of the Legislative Councillors for this District, was running his election, a great many voted for him on the understanding that he was on the independent ticket, and would, if elected, give the Government an independ- ent support. One session has already passed in which he has failed to show his **independence.” What is he going to do about it the present session! 1am one of those who voted for him. When he can- vassed me he said he was a supporter of Sullivan’s Government. Perhaps it would be too much to expect him to do as he pro- mised, for he was then only canvassing to get in; but we do hope to see him act the independent some time.

Our Lodge, ‘‘ Great Eastern,” is flourishing at present under the careful management of our talented Chief, James McGregor, who adds a great deal to the entertainment in the way of comic songs and dialogues.

The good ice in the latter part of February brought out some of our flyers in the way of horses and iceboats. Alabama, a three-year old filley, owned by Wm. Young, captured all the money and praise, and he deserves it well.

Hauling mud and timber is all the rage at present, as anyone may see by looking on the fields of Wm. D. Stewart, Esq., or at the mills of Scott & Son.

The next thing they would have to prove, if they had successfully proved that (which they have not), is that this is the remedy. Now, will hon. gentlemon follow me for a single moment while I deal with the arguments which have been adduced to show that this remedy is the only remedy. What are they?
