A BAD RECORD,

Sin,—We have heard a great many rnmours through the country about the work that is being done to straighten the curves in our line of railroad at Wiltshire. Being interested, as ove of the taxpayers of | this county, I thought I wonld pay it a visit and judge for myself. There was no | work going on the first time I visi‘ed tne, place, and I am not ina position to state | whether those rumours as to the number of mien éxi ployed and to the ability of those employed to perform the work are true or not. It has been reported that all eorts and sizee were employed, so long as |

'

| they were ofthe right political faith, and |

that they were co thick at one time as to | be a nuisance, and in one another’s way. I | suppose we ehall have to take some of those statements with asmall grain of allowance, more especially when I learn that Hugh McLeod, of Bradalbane, bad charge of one of those crowds. Mr. McLeod is one of | those officers in whom the travelling public of all shades of politics bave the utmost confidence as to his ability, honesty and integrity to perform any duties as a railway man. He has for several years been chosen Lo superintend work on the line where practical knowledge and good judgment were required, and I fee] satisfied that the meno uoder his control would haye to do their duty.

But apart from the nature of the work and the manner in which it was performed, there is another phrase of the question. | Was this work required? And was it in the interets of the general public or to serve party interests?

I see by the report in the Government press that this expensive piece of work is going to shorten the distance between Wiltshire and Charlottetowna little over half a mile, at acost ot probably $30,000 to the taxpayers cf this Dominion. I have heard various estimates as to the probable coat, ranging all the way from $20,000 to $126,000. But from what I hove learned from some of the men who worked there, and using my own judgment, J have come to the conclusion that $36,- 000 is atolerably fair estimate allowing forall party favors and extravagance.

Fer the expenditure of such a large amount of money we would natuarlly expect that the public interests had de- manded it, and that 1 would give increased facilities and eheaper rates and fares to our business meo and traveling public in the country. Will itdo so? Not one cent. Business men in the country will have to pay the same freight, the travelling pubiic the same fares. What, then is this very large expenditure of public money made for?

The cars have been running on the old roud for twenty-five years; the road has been quite capable of carrying al] the trade of the country. I have not heard ef any accident happening on that part of the road. Ifitis not going to make the fares on the road any iess, or make the livesof the passemgers any more secure, why this expenditure? Is it made to sacisfy a lot of camp. followers and boodlers of the Liberal party? As I understand the first question asked an applicant fur work was, “how did you vote?” there is only one conclusion that an intelligent public can come to, and that is that this money is not being spent in the interests of the general public but ror party purposes.

For several years previous to the last Dominion election, the people of thie Island were asking for branch limes to different parts of the county in order to give the farmers increased fucilities for ship- piog their produce. Totwoof theee lines Mr. Davies, now Sir Louis, stands com - mitted, namely the Belfast and Stanley branches.” Had-he built either of those brauches, they would have to be bailt by public contract, pet up to public competi tion, which would not at the preseat time euit Sir Louis’ purpose as well as to spend $30,000 by private arrangement, and have the work performed by day’s work. ven were it necessary todothe work at all, had it been let by publictender it would, in all probability heve been done for at least one-third of the money, taking the original coat of the anain line per mile as a basis af calculation. Isthis Sir Lonis who is wasting and ajuandering the public money, in t318 reckiess manner w thou: ip creasing the trade facilities of this couatry, the same Mr. Davies who, for the last teur- teen years, on the platform aod in Parlia- ment have been denouncing the Coneerva- party for their bood]ing and extravagant use

of public money oa political favorites ? {t surely cannot be the same man,—tkat

great economist whe was going to have

government on several millions of dollars lees than those extravagant tories. I am afriad Sir Louis is the same Mr. Davies who when he became a leader of our local

government ia 1876 so completely lost

his head that in two short years, by reck-

ess expenditure and the injudicious us> of public money, ran this Province so far in dept that the people lad to rise in their migit and drive him from power. We fondly hopea th! experience and matare ve rs: would fave rip ned his j idy mut. BatI fear we are doomed to isappoint- ment. Iam afraid he has lost his bal- ance again. The government of whic’ Sir Lonis claims to be a leading light has

been in power neatly two vears. They have had two sessions of pariiament. What has he done to improve those

conditiof$ of which he complained so loudly when in opposition? His career since he came into power she'vs a marked want of statesmansbipand reckless waste of public money. Take his attempt to it-

prove the communication at Cape Traverse by placing on that route that mockery of an ice boat J'he Petrel. This,

in my Opinies sheweda great want of judgement, and restlted in nothing but providing a nice easy place for some of hia friends ata cost of about $15,000 of the people’s money, without contributing one dolljar’s worth of benefit to the country, except patting a few dollare in the pockets of some private individual, supporter of his own and Mr. Yeo. Just in those two

| travactione, Sir Louis has wasted $45,000

of the peoples’ money in order to serve his political favorites, At the original con- tract price of the main line of railroad per mile, this money that has been wasted would have built a branch line to either Stanley or Victoria, Crapaud. Either of those branches would have been @ great boon to either Sir Louis or Mr. Yeo’s con- stituents. But where the interests of the general public clashes with party interest and the benefit of Sir Louis’ camp follow- ers, he has never been able to rise superior to nis party feeling. Tne country’s best interests have always been sacr‘ficed on the shrine of party, and toserve his owa personal condition.

Sir Louis has told us for years that the reason we had been negiected was becaure we had no minister in the Cabinet at Ottawa. Put the Liberals ia power, { will be in the cabinet, in fact witl be second in command, and I will see that the interests of this Province will be properly looked after, and that the public monies are properly expended, We believed his statement. We placed the Liberals or grits (ae they should properly be called) in power, and Davies in the cabinet,— made him Sir Louis. Has he remedied those evils of whick he complained so loudly? Has he fuléiled his promises? No; he has, as 1 have already shown, wast ed in Jess than two years $45,000 of pub- lic money in this lxtle Province.

There ia one thing we did except when he became Minister ot Marinea.d Fisher. ies, and that was, that he would remedy some of the just grieveuces of the business men of Chariottetewn. There was no man oo P* E. Island more loud in denouncing the late Minister of Marine, than Mr. Davies, for not mxnning the Stanley to Charlottetown to accomodate our business men. With = our harbor nearly aseclear as summer, witb the Hillsborough running ber regular trips trom dock to dock, with sir Lous Minister of Marine—where was the S:anley? Runuing to Georgetown whilst our business mea in the city, having large quantities of freigbt on band which they must incur the increased expense and inconvenience of shipping to G:orgetown by rail ov account of Sic Louis not haviog the back bone to order the Stanley to Charlottetown. He shelters himself be- hind the back of Captain Finlaysen. Captaia Finlaysen being held responsible for the safety of the boat naturally goes to Georgetown aud relieves bimeself of the reapunsibility aud accepts no riske which properly ought to be assumed by the Minister. Of coarse ifthe business mea of this city suffer loss or inconvenience, that lose falls back on the farmers from wnom they buy the produce.

Such, then, is the political record of our donghty knight who was going to remedy wil the grievances uoder which the city of Oftarlotietown laboured. I have endea- voured to show you that he has farled in two very important points. 1 will, ina future ietter, endeavour to take up some of the promises be made on the trade ques- tion, andl think 2 can show the public that he has been egually as inconsistent on that question as he has been on the other twy points I have brought to their notice,

Summerside Journal: That the mail service should be at once transferred to the Capes and kept there admits cf no contrary argument; for, if Captain Finlay~ son is afraid of his boat, and the Charlotte- town experience indicates something of that sort, he canaot be depended upon to put herthrough much heavy Gulf ice on the Georgetown route; hence mail delays are inevitable unless the Cupea service is utilized, and delay in mails is something that cannot be tolerated. .
