who have to bear the burden of

which Mr. Peters and his partisans have

heaped up! 2. Then, there is the point as to whether it is prudent to continue to trust men who

have already deceived the people? We need not enlarge upon this point. The

people know what Mr. Peters and his partivans promised previous to the last election, and they know how the promises In private life a man who would, to gain an end, promise odo acertain thing, and then, after the end had been gained, deliberately do the reverse of that thing, would not be trusted for an hour. Is it wise to adopt a different course with reference to deceivers in public life? This is the next question for con- sideration.

3. In view of what they have done in the past six years, what guarantee have the people that Mr. Peters, backed up by his partisans, will not, in the future, com mit this province to enterprises involving heavy expenditures of the people’s money without regard toithe people? Their pledges and statements upon the platform are not worth a snap of the fingers. Given control of the Government for another four yeare, Mr. Peters will probably ruin the Province.

4. When Mr. Peters and his partisans began their financial operations by the issue of debentures ia July 1891, the cash debt of the Province was, in round num- bers, $50,000. It is now,in round num. bers, $500,000! The half yearly subsidy, paid in advance was, it is true, used up in 1891; and it is used up now. Upon that score the cash debt in 1891 and 1897 is upon an equality.

have been performed.

up to elose upon, if not fully, a half a million of dollars, involving an interest charge, to be defrayed by the taxpayers, of upwards of $15,000 a year. Atthe same rate of progression,what will be the financial] position of the Province four years hence?

5. While the cash debt of the Province has been thus mounting up, the assets of the Province have been going down. How much public property Mr. Peters has thrown away inthe form of discounts at the Land Office will probably never be known. But we do know that the Land Office nas been depleted and that the loss ef the money, given away to political partieans or to purchase political support,

willin the fature have to be bourne by the taxpayers of the province at large.

6. Then, there is the question of the administration of the the Public Work. Without the authority of the people an expensive steamer, euphon- “ The

iously and appropriately named of the Premier; and vow another expen- eiv steamer is laid up at the wharf—- idle! The roads have been, and still are, in a wretched atute, and bridges and wharve: ail Over the country are neglected,—be- cause the Commissioner of Public Works dare not move without Mr. Peters’ ap- proval, and Mr. Peters has been out of the Province raking in shekels to his privat purse.

Another consideration is this: It is wel! known that, under the forms of constitut ed government, Mr. antocrat.

If, upon consideration of these and otiver points in the issue, the people decide to give Mr. Peter’s and his partizans another term of cftice,—well, its the people’s busi- ness. But if they do nvr so decide, instant and decisive action is absolutely required. Allover the country the watchword of the people for the next forinight ought to be

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—How about the ‘‘ epidemic of Liberal- ism”? Is the country still being ravaged by it? We shall soon see.

—A rasping letteron badly-packed Nova Scotia apples has been sent to the press by Russell Fairbeard Co., Glasgow. They say they lost money on a shipment because the firet four layers only were good, all the rest being rubbish; and that if Canadian shippers want to lose the trade, that’s just the way todo it. They are right, without a doubt.

EDWARD ISLAND.

— 2 eee

GentLewgN,—The present Parliament has been disrulved. upon to Cuovce tilting aud discreet men to r-present you ip ine Provincial Legisia« ture.

I'ne decision you make, I need searcely remind you, will be Wiuding upon you for a@ term of four years. It is of the utmost iujportance, tuep, that your attention should be called, in time, not only to the conduct of the Government, but to the principles that will guide the present Op- position should it, as the resultof tie comping Coutest, be entrusted with the reins of power.

‘Lhe people had every reason 10 expect great things from the present Government. (he men cCompusing it came into power with loud professious of tre good apa beneficent rule the Province would receive at their hands,

Six years have elapsed, and it may safely be asseried that it will be difficult to find a parallel in the history of any British colony for the broken promises, the gigan- tic mischief, and the incaiculable injury which this Government has imposed upon usin such @ sbort time.

They promised to greatly reduce the public expenditure. They have largely increased it,

In the strongest language they con- demned aprovincial debt. In five years they have added over a quarter of a mil- lion of dollars to our dett.

They solemnly professed that they could manage our effairs without taxauen. Ilo three years they have taken from the peo- ple over one hundred aud thirty-eight thousand dollars in taxes.

They protested against the practice of borrowing money at the banks. here has scarcely been a vear since they attained power, that the province has not owed very large amounts to one or more of the banks

They pledged themse!ves not to’ lnpose taxation witbout consulting the people. No sooner was the promise made than it wa- faithlesely broken by the introduction and passage into law of four separate tax acis.

They seriously engaged, in 1891, to devote about 15,000 collars of the money to be raised by debentures to the repair of the Provincial building. Tbis has not been done. ‘The building bas received no repairs,

They loudly proclaimed, in opposition, that there was no necessity for a Commis- sioner of Public Lands. That official still exists, although they bave been in power for Over 81x years.

They denounced,with one voice, Provin- cial deficits. There bas not been a single year of their administration that there has not been a large deficit,—tbeir deficits ag- gregate over $255,000,anod if the taxes they collected be added, the astoundirg result of over $393,000 will be reached.

The short compass of this address will not permit of turtiber eularging upon their shortcomings. It may safely be asaerted, without fear of successful contradicuon, that they have, as a goveroment, gone back aud renounced every pledge they ever cave. Extravagauce, waste, and corrup- uon bave marked their career, from the very beginning, with the result that our tinances are ju @ mostiappalling coudition, threatening our province ditficnity aud our peopie with impoverish- mer.t,

Tbe time has arrived for serious action, and it becomes the bouaden duty of every man who values the institutions of his couutry to actively interest himeelf in the coming election. Unless I greatly nns- take the trend of public opinion it seems clear that the people have mede up their minds that there must be a change in the managemtnt of public affairs,

What then has the Opposition to cffer ? Let the people send to the next legislative Assembly a maj rity of able and discreet men of the opposition, and the Province may rest assured that a new era will be inaugurated in the managment of their affaira,

The Provincial Executive reduced from nine to seven.

No publicmoney wil! be'expended in excese of segi-letive appropriations, unless in Case of uravoidable necess ty, such as caused by Mluod or sudden disaster.

The present ferry system will he re- formed with a view to greater economy of expenditure without diminishing efficiency of accommodation.

A reform io the administration of the Surrogate uad Probate court will be eff-cted.

The cffice of Commissioner of Public Lands will be abolished and the duties assigned to the Attorney General.

Provision will be made for a quarterly publication of revenue and expenditure.

A radical change,will be made in the administration of the Publi¢e Works department, so that the money now wasted can be saved to the Province.

The present system of taxation will be 80 changed that it will operate with even,
