RATE OF DUTY.

Tee discreet Guardian insinuates pretty strongly that the par:y paperedo not give the public a fair statement concerning taxation lt says:

“We have en the one side Opposition journals declaring that the Ottawa Gov- | ernment have increased the taxes of the people, and on the other side the Minister- 1a] press boasting that the country ia en loving its present yrosperity under greatly reduced taxation.”

As tothe reduction of the rate of duty, upon which the discreet organ harps this morning, we know what that amounts fo. Corn was put upon the free list, reeult'ng in a lowering of the price of oats; a frac~ tion was taken of the duty on kerosene oil, but the Standard Oil Company bas been given covtrel of the Canadian market, and the price paid by our farmers aad others has been advanced several cents per gallon ;

And heard thee.”

In going from among us, you will carry with you our heartiess wishes for your prosperity, and though fora time your lot may be cast unzer en alea flag, we shall look on you as a true eom of Canada, and one taat is acredittoour young and bigoreus nation.

—Our discreet contemporary bas been making calculations in view of the increase of trade. Perhaps it will say what the result of the increase of trade would have been in respect tothe surplus of last year, if the Liberals had but kept their promise to reduce expenditures by $5,000,000 or $4,000,000.

Prince Edward Island—tnat we de not aimit that this will materially change the situation, becaus’,4s I have already pointed out, the expenditure iavelved in bu'lling this ratlway, after receiving €406,000 or

Provincial Government will only amount to ap expenditure cqual to Prince Edward [eland’s share of what bas been expended railways, canals and such the Parliament of Canada since the Provincial Government made its There will be ouly a very small amount over, and no doubi, as this work on the railway aud bridge will ex tend beyond this present year, that by the

time the railway aad bridge are com- pleted the sccount on the other sde will have gone *o high that it

will altogether cfiset it, without cou'ribut ing anvthing.as it were,to the old account which the Provinciel Government present- ed, as amounts du- the province of Prince Edward Island. I kuow hon. gen:lemen coming from the other Provinces are very apt to conclude that theee are all rectional considerations, end perbaps they are. Perhaps that isa proper enough name to describe them, but they are just such con- siderations as cannot possibly be avoided under the peculiar circumstances. It was clearly, as I started by ssying, admitted by the Government of Canada n: the time of confederation, and it was put in black asd white in the terms of union, that the basis as regards the province, should be, in fix~ ing iis debt sccount, the sums anchorized by the Parliament of Canada for railway and canal expenditures in which the province had no intereet.’ In 1887 an Order in Council] was passed to pay $20,000 a year to the pro- vincial governmeut, and inthe Order in Council which wae submitted to Parlia- ment a¢ a werrant for that payment, this was the distizct and clear basis, carrying out the terms of the union. Onall these considerations I bave no doubt, even with- out these few remarks of mine, that this bill would receive the support and hear:y concurrence of thie House, but what 1 want to poiat out to my hon. friend the Secre- tary of State ie that I hope he will be able to carry out, at@ very early day, the full programme decided upon by the late government, and which will still, in my op- inion, be quite short of: giving justice to the province of Prince Edward Island, and! hope,noiwithstanding that the Prince Edward Island railway bas not paid fully the working expenses during the past, that a better etate of thiogs will pre- vail in the near fviure, and the day will come when it will be a valuable asset. The difficulty in that respect largely arises from the water communication around the coast, and the further consideration that it has no through traffic. It depends entire- ly on local traffiz. The Cap? Breton ra:lwav is in an altogether different position, Any one travelling to Sydney wil! have to tra- vel by the Cape Breton railway about 90 or 100 miles. ‘he road has to be used by people having business* with the island ef Cape Breton, and it does quite a consider-~ able amount ot through trade of that kind con

necting with the province of Newfound- land, but in the case of Prince Edward Island the province is tapped at the more important harbors from the mainland, and they havea great ceal of businees which does not contribute a dollar to the railway. Both in the matter of tickets and passenger traffic, as well ae io the matter of freight, outside business will be with these cities, and there is lese need to use the railway.

It is not because the province is not pros- perous, or thickly settled, for we know it is more thickly settled for its area then any other part of Canada, but itis on account of the water communication aloug the coast and the fact that the emaller harbors have not been reached by branches, and the fact also that the island is topped from the mainiand at the more important har- bors and that that does not lead \o a through trefliz or much distribution aloug the line of railway. It is for these reasons the railroad has not paid as well as it should in the past. Notwithstanding that, I do not believe it will always coatinue so. The building of these branches wil] help materially to change that state of things. No doubt the Intercolonia) Railway wil! be a paying road soon, and I have no doubt

the Prince Edward Island Railway. eomewhat iater, will also come up to the standard and take thé

same position. I have only to express my eatiefaction with the bill as far as it goes, with the aingle doubt that I have that there may bea little difficulty between the provincial and federal governments as to settling what -should be actually paid be- cause this bill fixes the amount absolutely at $12,000 ayear wherens @ correct in-

quiry aod investigation might show that a emaller sum would be a fairer proportion for the

province to-pay for merely traffic pur- poses. However,I hope that will be adjusted. Ihope the work wil be pat under contract soon, and that it will be done by open competiticn.
