The Maritime Provinces and the McKenzie Administration..
(From the Moncton Times.) The Halifax Chrovicle, in the course of an article regarding Mr. 'Tilley’s candidature for the city, says:—
“The Telegraph, in a leugthy editorial, declares that the Liberals of the Maritime Provinces should sustain the McKenzie ad- ministration, and believes that ‘no change of Government will take place as the result of the approaching general election.’ This foreshadows the decided opposition of that journal to Mr. Tilley if he comes out as an oppositionist.”
The above suggests a very imporiant question: Why should the Inberals of the Maritime Provinces sustain the McKenzie Administration ?
The Telegraph itself has told us that the Old Liberals of New Brunswick and the
ld Conservatives of Nova Scotia were men of progress—they were the men who went in for Railways, Education and the Union of the Provinces. These Old Liberals and Old Conservatives were represented by §, L. Tilley and Charles Tupper, and why should not Tilley and Tupper, representing the Party of Progress—the Party of ‘‘Rail- ways, Education and Union,”’—be_ support- ed by the Old Liberals of the Maritime Provinces, in preference to Mr. McKenzie with whom they have nothing in common?
Must Mr. McKenzie be supported for what he did for the Maritime Provinces when in Opposition? The columns of the ‘** Telegraph” furnishes the best answer to such a question. There and in the equally reliable annals of our political history, Mr. Mackenzie’s record may be read. Mr. Me- kenzie and his party in Parliament voted against every generous proposal made in Parliament to meet the case of Nova Sco- tia. They showed themselves in the light of bitter partisans, rather than in the atti- tude of broad-minded nationalists. For the sake of making a little political capital in Ontario, and that they might tell Onta- rian constituencies that they had opposed money concessions to Nova Scotia, they were willing to imperil the very existence of the Union. Until Mr. Mackenzie found the votes of New Brunswickers, Nova Sco- tians and P. E. Island necessary to the maintenance of his Government, he and his Party had only words of contempt for the Maritime Provinces. The Toronto ‘‘Globe” described them as additional ‘* leeches” sucking the life-blood of Ontario. A mem- ber of Mr, McKenzie’s Cabinet said he would not give a County in Ontario for the whole of the Maritime Provinces.
NO, 340.
ie and would make a desolation and a waste of the town of Moncton.
One of the first acts of the McKenzie Party, as a Government, was to propose a tax on shipping materials—which would have been a special tax against the Maritime Provinces.
We say nothing here of their acts of mal- administration, which ery to Heaven for punishment, but we siimply ask, in view of facts cited above, are these the reasons why the Maritime Provinces should grow en- ~eaerag in support of McKenzie and his arty !

“Old and Vain.”
If some Grit seribbler would undertake to answer the charges by which Senator McPherson is making such a sensation in the Saugeen District, he would do more for the party and more to counteract the in- finence of the Senator, than will the abuse and misrepresentations of one organ and the vapid witticisms of another. When this gentleman, sneered at as old and vain, gives from public records the expenditure of the McDonald Government for three years pre- ceding 1573, for salaries, contingencies of public offices and legislation as $3,058,244, and that of the present economical gentle- men for three years preceding the current one, as 54,558,952—showing an increase of $1,300,718, or 425 per cent. of an increase on that of their predecessors, it will require something more than telling the world that Senator McPherson is old and vain to take the sting out of it. The extravagance of the McKenzie Government the Senator il- lustrates in innumerable ways, but we must be content at present with adding one more. He says, quoting the words of the Globe's report: ‘*The extravagant if not corrupt expenditure in the customs was something alarming. At Montreal! the percentage on the revenue for collection under the Gov- ernment in 1873 was 1-75 per cent’; in 1877 it was 3-08, and this at a time when the revenue was falling off. In New Bruns- wick the cost in 1873 was 5-08, while in 1877 it was 8-90.” This is only an increase of 70 per cent. in the one case and 53 per cent. in the other accomplished by the Grit economists; but what of that? Mr. Me- Pherson is old and vain, and these de- fects in the man will surely invalidate these extracts from the public accounts. Yeat truth is no longer truth if an old man should speak it. This is an excellent maxim, but just a little shaky in its moral- ity.—London Free Press.
