world where prosperity, where happin
where «future is offered, it is the ¢ North West. (Bravo !) I have the greatest pleasure in paying this tribute to my
friend and colleague, Mr. Pope, because I was not at all sure whether he was not playing too risky a game and has wonder- intiy succeeded, and [ have no doubt that these gentlemen will send thousands of set- ilers to the North West. (Applause.) —
Now, gentlemen, I’m afraid I'm exhausting your patience (No! No!) lL know you area long suffering crowd—- (langhter)—and I must have some pity on you. _ ’ The great charge was brought against us that we were anti-English, that our tariff was such as to exclude English goods, and that England would east us off, the falsity of that charge was that, after we had passed out tariff, my friend Sir Leonard Tilley went to England and sold a loan higher than Canada had ever done before. The capitalist in Lombard street naturally said : “Well, if you put om high duties you will have high revenue and therefore the security is greater for us than with a lower revenue,” Consequently Mr. Tilley made that loan.
Before I sit down I will make one or two remarks about
THE PACIFIC RAILWAY, and I shall make them very brief, because there is a much abler man here, Sir Charles ‘Tupper, whose special duty it is to discuss that measure; but, sir, while Mr. McKen- zie had peddied the money of the country away in building a lock at St. Francis, mak- ing water stretches and doing everything but building the railway, money went like water until it were better it had been ex- pended here to recover the anchors of ships in your river than to have been thus thrown away. ou remember that years ago, when we proposed the scheme to build the Rail- way,’ we did not ask the people of Canada to pay the money. We said we would build it by a company, to which we would give large grants of land to enable them to dothe work. The Grits succeeded in getting our place, and they forced the Canadian Government to build the road themseives, altheugh Mr. Dorion, as a member of the Government, moved that it should only be built by pri- vate enterprise and by no other means, and in no other way whatever. If in 1873 we had beet able to go on with the road, in- stead of being forced to resign, it would have been half way across the Continent now ; but new what do yousee? The late Government fiddled thousands away. They built a line from Thunder Bay a hundred miles or so to the west, and they built a line from Winnipeg a hundred miles or so to the east, and left the middle,section uncon- tracted for. Well, since we have come in we have not lain upon our oars. We are pushing the road through as fast as we ean. We are building now a hundred miles west from Winnipeg into the North West ; and now that Sir Charles Tupper has returned from his inspection of the Intercolonial, one of his first duties will be to let out 150 or 200 miles west of that again, to be finished in two years. (Loud Applause.) Mr. Chairman you see we are not “Flies upon the wheel.” (Cheers.) We knew what our policy would result in— that when we adopted a protective policy we must ]ook out for new branches of trade in new parts of the world. Sir Alex. Galt went to France and it was a mere accident, a mere political accident, Mr. Chairman, that we did not a year ago get the admis- sion of OUR SHIPS INTO FRANCE
at two francs a ton instead of forty francs as at present (loud cheers.) We are fol- lowing the matter up, however, and we are going to stick to it until we get what we want (ap- plause) When we came into power we telt we had great opportunities. We have
embraced them (cheers) and we are working to introduce ourselves into the great family of nations, knewing
that when we knock at the door we will be received (cheers.) We know that Cana- da will be recognized as a great nation- ality, and if if is recognized as a great nationality it will be so recognized because the Conservative party, the English party, because the French party, because every yatriotic raan in Canada rallies round the Government of which Iam the feeble expon- ent. Perhaps I ought to make way for others (cries of ‘‘no! no!”’) but I stand here as the exponent of the great principles by which Canada shall become not merely a dependency of England but an
AUXILIARY TO THAT GREAT COUNTRY,
—(loud cheers)—prineiples under the opera- tion of which England will turn round tous and ask {or our young men, our brave men, our soldiery to assist to fight the battles of Great Britain. In reply, we will say: We are a portion of that mighty empire ; we will fight the battles of our country. (Applause.) We area great empire, and we believe that with strong arms, willing Hearts, skilled labor and due protection, we will make this coun- try, instehd of a feeble dependency, one of the strongest supports of the grand old coun- try of Great Britain.

‘OCTOBER 20, 1879.
CHARLOTTETOWN, 20th Ovt. 1879.
To the Editor of the Examiner.’
Sir,—I notice in your paper of Saturday last, under the heading of ‘‘Personalities at Pownal,” that you call upon me for an ex- planation of Mr. Stewart's statements. I was not at the Pownal meeting, and do not know what Mr. S. stated; but the letter in the Pat- riot of Saturday over my signature is the only one I wrote Mr. Stewart on the subject in dispute.
Having’ petitioned the Lieut. Governor m Council for a Commission to investigate the charges made against me by the Leader of the Government, 1 must refrain from further re- marks at present; all I ask is, that the public will withhold their judgment in the matter until the facts are made known.
Yours, Frep. W. Hynpmay.
(From the Patriot of Saturday night. )
To-night’s Examiner contains an article headed ‘‘Personalities at Pownal,” which, as usnal, contains statements that are not in accordance with the facts. We have only time, this evening, to direct attention to its misrepresentation respecting the letter from the late auditor, read by Mr. W. D. Stewart at that meeting. ‘To prevent fur- ther misrepresentation we publish below a copy of that letter :-— ;
Dear Sir,—-In reply to your note of this date calling my attention to an article in the Presbyterian headed ‘Facts for the Electors of Beifast’’ and asking whether the first item in that article setting forth that I prepared aj statement showing the actual deficit for 1878 was $73,864 was correct or otherwise, I beg to say, distinctly, that I never prepared any such statement.
It is true I signed a statement for Mr. Sul- livan showing a certain amount of indebtedness at the end of the year—but that was drafted by Mr. Sullivan, J only supplied the figures— before I signed it. I pointed, ous to Mr. S. the wafairness of the statement, but he appeared anxious to make a point against the late Government and cared little how or by what means he attained it. The statement was not arranged as I should have done, had I
$334,133.29 or $21,448.96 over the recei ts -; but we find that teachers were aly, paid for
pert over his own si mature, that :— “The expenditure to Sist December was
amounts, were due contractora, supervisors and others, which if paid up As IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR, would show the expeaditure to be $52,413.65, more than what app-ars in the printed ae-
counts,’
We direct special actention to Mr. Mc- Millan’s words, ‘(As in the previous year,” These words prove conclusively that Mr. McMillan, of whose honesty and ability there can be no doabt, was of opinion that it was the ‘‘printel accounts” which were the actual deficit of
thrée quarters of the past year, an
misleading ; and that 1878 was $75,364. 69.
In view of these facts, the public cannot be geatly blamed if they conclude with us that the statement allnded to is not mis- leading ov unfair—that it shews truly the actual deficit incurred under the reckless regime of Messrs. Davies & Stewart.

Largely Inaccurate.
—
‘As usual, the Patriot is largely inaccurate in what he says about the opening of the road through Mr. DesBrisay’s land ir the vicinity of the city. Mr. DesBrisay had given an absolute and unconditional deed of the land to the Government; and the Commissioner of Public Works opened the road under the provisions of the Public Works Act. Subsequently, Mr. Ferguson consented to allow Mr. DesBrisay the sum of sixty dollars for the timber growing on the land—His Honor Judge Hensely, at whose instance Mr. DesBrisay gave the road, informing the Government that he had given Mr. DesBrisay to understand when signing the deed that he would be allowed to remove the-timber. The value of the timber was ascertained by sworn testimony. The Government consented to pay for the timber, having received full benefit for it, Mr. DesBrisay paying all costs
been requested to show the financial position of the Province. As they stand the figures are right, but the arrangement of them is one- bis \-ours truly,
Frepv’k W, HyNDMAYN.
Or the matter in dispute between Mr. Hyndman and the Hon. Mr. Sullivan—to which the former alludes in his letter to the ExamMinek—we know nothing ; and we are only concerned. about the public ques- tion ; viz: Whether or not the statement over the signature of F. W. Hyndman as Provincial Auditor is a true or a false state- ment ? or whether it is or is not, as Mr. Hyndman says, calculated to mislead the public ?
In his letter to Mr. W. D. Stewart, Mr. Hyndman, it will be noted, admits that he ** only supplied the figures.” We take it for granted, then, that Mr. Hyndman knows the figures to be correct.
But Mr. Hyndman says “the statement was drafted by Mr. Sullivan.” Now, the circumstances under which the statement was drawn up were these: On the 5th of May last Mr. Holland (of Bedeque) rose in his place in the House of Assembly and gave notice that he would ask
‘‘The Leader of the Government to Jay on the table of the House a staTEMENT showing the receipts and expenditure in 1878, and the actual amount of indebtedness supposing all outstanding accounts on the 31st Decem- ber, 1878, to have been paid.”
In order to get this information the Leader of the Government (we suppose) applied to the Provincial Auditor ; and it will be noted that the statement fur- nished does nothing more nor less than answer Mr. Holland’s requirements. So that if the statement be ‘‘ unfair,” as Mr. Hyndman asserts, Mr. Holland, and not the Leader of the Government, is to be blamed.
But, in what way is the statement unfair ? Mr. Hyndman has failed to shew ; and if other evidence were wanting that it is perfectly fair, the inference to be drawn from this failure is, that it is se. Mr. Hyndman hints that the statement only shews the indebtedness at the end of 1878. It certainly does that; but it shews also thot the actual expenditure of 1878 ex- ceeded the actual revenue by $73,864.60; and, therefore, we contend, it is perfectly correct to say that ‘‘the actual deficit for that year is $73,864.60. We readily admit that if in 1878 the teachers’ salaries had been fully paid, if the Asylum contractors had been paid for the work they did within year, if the Public Works and Roads and Printing services had been paid for as they were in 1877, if there had been no sus- p-cious underhand suspense accounts hang- ing about, the actual deficit would only have been ‘21,548.95 as stated by the Auditor in his annual report of the Public Accounts for 1878. But, unfortunately, these things were not; and, therefore, the actual deficit is the amount shown in the statement called for by Mr. Holland.
Nor must it be forgotten that Mr. Me- Millan, of Summerside, a member of the Public Accounts Committee, after a long
and exhaustive examination of the accounts
for the actions he had brought against the contractors. Equitably Mr. DesBrisay was entitle to be paid for the timber, although legally he might bg, unable to compel pay- ment. We are informed that the removal of the trees was absolutely necessary to the opening of the road. —
