Who Moved the Flour Duty ?
Tuer Grit organs are certainly bold in their falsehoods. They perpetually assert that the duty on flour last session was moved for by the Opposition. In fact it was moved by Mr. Brown, a Grit, and sec-
onded by Mr. Lewis Ross, a Grit of such | valor that the Mail said he ‘would swallow | currently rumored to be an emissary from|the EASTERN POLLING DIVISION of the McKenzie Government to raise funds, | Charlottetown, Common

The Best Men.
Can the Grits name thirty out of the Ministerial ranks as able as the following thirty gentlemen now opposing the Gov" ernment : McDonald, (Sir J.) Tilley, McPherson, Gibbs,
Pope, (P. E. I.) Langevin, McCarthy, T. White, MeDonald, (Pictou) McDougall, Hon. W. Bowell, Piumb,
Pupp v, Mitchell, WV wll bridge, Gault, King, (St. John).
Masson,
Colby, Costigan, DeCosmos, Domville, Coursol, Kirkpatrick,

On which side, let us ask Mr. McDonald, does he find the great labour empleyers, and the intelligent farmer and mechanic ! Where are the independent men whose only interest is to see the country prosper / The loyal wen who want to see Canada

A Solid Fact.

tion, promise to reduce the cost of Gov- it as he!

ernment, and promised to do! Look at the record :—
The total expenditure by Sir
John Macdonald for his
last five years was.......-% £9.770,.789 The total expenditure by Mr.
Mackenzie for his five
per year, for every year of Mr. Mac- kenzie’s term than the cost of Government under Sir John Macdonald.
That is a solid fact. The extravagant Sir John ran the machine of Government for five years for eighty inillions ; the Econo- inical Retrencher, Mr. McKenzie spent over the same work one hundred and eighteen inillions !
Here is a problem. If extravagance costs eighty millions, and economy costs one hundred and eighteen millions, how much would it cost to run the same game by Mr. Mackenzie for another five years /
li two and two make four, then another five years of the Mackenzie style of Gov- ernment will take another $37,785,872 out of the taxpayers’ pockets in excess of what Sir John Macdonald’s style cost, so in ten years (which Heaven forbid) the people will have paid $75,571,744 for the mere fun of keeping a man in power who talks
of economy while squandering like a drunken prodigal ! — —————— MEN OF QUEEN'S, IF YOU WANT

Meeting at Long Creek.
Tue schoolhouse at Long Creek was well filled last evening; and Mr. Brecken re- ceived an attentive hearing. Mr. H. Law- son replied to Mr. Brecken; and then Mr. D. Farquharson took the _ floor. There were cries of ‘* turn about,” ‘fair play,” ete. Mr. James Cur- rie protested against two — speeches in succession on the same side. His pro- test was bourne out by the Chairman, and afterwards by the meeting. but Mr. Farquharson refused to give way; and there was—sucha scene! Tomake peace Mr. McKay, M. P. P. for the district, offered to waive his right to speak in favor of Mr. Farquharson. Mr. Far- quharson then spoke. He was very abusive towards Mr. Brecken, and was impatiently heard. Mr. McKay followed. His speech was calm, practical and convincing. He had good points to make, and he made them so well that he almost demolished the baseless fabric of an argument erected by Mr. Lawson. It was evident that a large proportion of those present were in favor of Pope and Brecken.

Meeting at Cape Traverse. HWOWATT AND HACKETT VICTORIOUS.
Av the meeting held on Friday evening there were over two hundred electors pres- ent. Messrs. Howatt, Yeo and Perry ad- dressed the meeting. Pope spoke two hours anda half. After Mr. Pope, Hon. Alexander Laird tried to speak, but the ;people would not hear him. In the opinion of good judges the party stood in the pro- portion of 175 for Hackett and Howatt, and 25 for Yeo and Perry. At the close, three cheers were given for Howatt, Hackett and Pope.

The Man Who Votes!
THe man who votes for Sinclair and
McGill votes for a system of organized hypocrisy. The ian wiio votes for Sinclair and
McGill endorses the gross corruption con- nected with the purchase of the Neebing Hotel.
The man who votes for Sinclair and 'MeGill is willing that this Island shall {have no representation in the Dominion Cabinet; that Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Quebec shall have a voice in the Government of the country, but that this Province shall have none ; that our mem- bers are to be mere units, useful only on a division when the Government is in danger, bus utterly helpless when the interests of the Island are at stake ! !
The man who votes for Sinclair and Me- Gill endorses the infamous Steel Rails Scandal. <A great part of these rails pur- chased in a falling market at a time when the price of rails was rapidly declining —at a time when they were not needed, and would not be needed for years to come. They are lying in heaps—going to rust— and will be utterly worthless when re- quired to be used. They were purchased by Mr. McKenzie from a firm of which his own brother was a partner, and for no other reason than to put money in his brother’s pocket. Mr. McKenzie ‘says that he is only guilty of an error of judgment. What an excuse for a statesman to make! In order to escape the charge of corruption, he is compelled to acknowledge his own utter
