LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
z The Tanne! Scheme.
| Sin,--The nearer the general elections! thetunne!l to connect the [.land with the! mainland looms up. As the newspapers— contain of iate almost continuous references tothe project it 1s desirable that the public should understand what, if any, progress | has been made towards its attainment.
Just previous tothe general election of | 1887, a telegram from Sir Charles Tupper! te ope of his supporters in this Island favor- | ing the construction of atunnel was pub-' lished. A short time afterwards a letter Charlotte-
from Sir John Macdonald himself,
‘which, it was claimed by his friends, pledg-

ed the Government's support to the scheme.
The letter was artfully written, but a careful study of it showed that while ap- pearinog to be in sympathy with the tunnel
i project it gave no promise of any kind.
When Parliameat met I called Sir John’s attention to this letter and told him public- ly across the House that it was viaimed and understood by a grest many electors that he had given his daprimciur to the scheme and
, was pledged tu support it.
Sir John immediately replied, ‘* 1 gave no promise.” (See Hansard for 1887, p. 202 y
Tha fact is the telegram and Jetter were both electioneering dodges to catch votes. ‘They, however, contained promises respect - ing surveys which could rot be evaded, and consequently these, more or less complete, were wade.
Jn the session of 1888, after the surveys} had been inade, the subject came up for| discussion in the Commons, on a motion of ' Mr. Perry for the papers. I took part in that discussion and assured the government thataf from the information they had be- forethem they thought the work practic- able they would have my hearty support; and Epynted!y asked them whether they proposed to ask parliament fur a vote to carry out the work either through a com- pany or by a government contract.

forward in the Senate iu a lengthy and able speech in which he reviewed the whole question. He was followed by Senators
tiaythorne and Prowse and quite a number
i
of Senators from other provinces. Senator Power, of Halifax, who was Acting Leader
\of the Opposition, expressed himself as _gstrongly in favor of the Island’s claims and
unreservedly stated that if the tunnel could be built for an expenditure in the neighbor- hood of $5,000,000 he thought it would be the duty of the government to undertake it.
Several other Senators endorsed Senator Power’s views, and the question was reduced
| therefore to one of cost.
Senator Howlan, in moving his resolution, justly claimed that he had given the subject a great deal of attention, and said: ‘* If it can be proved beyond any kind of doubt that this tunnel would cost $10,000,000, I do not think I would be justified in asking the Government to expend $10,000,000 ; but if it can be done for $5,000,000 there is no reason why I should not urge it.” (Hansard, p, 424) And in his closing
“If this work should! cost anything like $25,000,000 or $20,000, - COL it ought to be abandoned, or I shall go as far as $10,000,000, but I know it will not cost anything like that.” And again :
‘*T can assure the Leader of the House and every gentleman present that if I had) the most remote idea that the costof the runnel would be twenty millions of dollars I wou!d never open my mouth again on the_ subject.” (Hansard, p. 459 )
Being then pressed on the question, the Leader of the Government made an official | reply in which he offered the following statement *
‘The Government satisfied themselvee that the project of making a tunnel across, the Straits of Northumberland or a Subway | —two very different things by the way—was really in one sense impracticab e—-that is to sxy it would cost so much as not to justify the expenditure of the sem required tor the service it was intended to perform.” Again—‘t Aud the Government came to the conclusion that the amount which the tunnel or subway would cost was greatly in excess of the proportion it should bear to tee advantage which would be gained by ‘he amelioration of the transport service.”
After referring to the cost of the Severn Tunnel, which he stated was $3,333,333 a mile. The Leader of the Government went on to state (p. 452 )
‘Ar that rate, which I think we may fairly take, as apart from mer: engineering esti- mates, a reasonably probable measure of the cost this tannel, if we take one of the routes which connects the two railways, and which is cight miles long, won!d cost $26,009,000, the shortest route which w uli rqnire *o be counected by Railway would cost $20,900,000 to make it six mil slong. JTac.c figures are oe And further :— :
‘As I say the Goverment made up their minds that this project of constructing a tunnel or subway was too expensive to be contemplated ”
Now, Mr. Editor, we may or may not
thanking the Leader for having stated these
scheme wee too expensive a one even to be contemplated; but we can at least agree in
concivsions so clearly and frankly, There cannot be any doubt whatever, after these official utterances, of the attitude of the
Now, what course should we take. At the} conciusion of the debate, Hon, Mr. Abbott promised “that the goveroment would cause an estimate of the cost of this subway across the straits, by competent persons to be made and liid before Pariiam: nt as son a8 possible.”
I presume, Mr, Editor, that the promise of the government will be fulfilled, and tha: when Parliament meets we will have this estimate before us, Until we do have it, I sey that no one isin a condition to form « judgment worth considering. I indulge the hope that it will be found that the estimates of the government are largely in excess of what will be required, The experience gsined in the construction of the St, Clair tunnel has shewn beyond a doubt that the cost of the earlier tunnels built is no safe guide to go by. Modern science has simplified both the method of couscruction end its cost. But until we have these estimates I submit that discussion is not profitable. No pradent/ mn will commit himself to the scheme until) he has data before him enabling him to judge of its probable cost. These data the Govern- meut has promised to lay before Parliament, andgwe can only,ia the meaviime,induige the hope that the engineers’ estimates will be more favorable than those of the government. | Ifit can be shown from these estimates that ibe tunvel can be Luit for any reasonable coet it would be alike my pleasure and duty to give the scheme an energetic and hearty support.
Yours sincerely,
L. H. Davies.

Dyspeptics Will Rejoice.
Attention is called to the advertisment of ‘"\yepepticure” which appears to-day. * Dyspepticure” has been a valued household remedy fora number of years in St. John, and without ary advertising, has been well known in nearly every part of the Maritime Provinces, That it is so well known is due to its wonderful suceess in really CURING not only indigestion and all ordinary stomach troubles, but the worst cases of Chronic Dyspepsia. There are thousands upon thonsands of Chronic Dyspeptics who have used so many remedies without success that they will hardly believe a cure is possible; these are exactly the ones that are partienlarly requested to try the remedy. The pamphlet [copyrighted] on ‘‘Dyspepticnre” giving a history of its discovery and full of information about diet and digestion, is wrapped around each bottle or will be prompt- ly sent free to any address. The fact of ‘“Dyspepticure” having been thoroughly tested for ten years and being prepared by a responsible druggist, Charles K. Short {Graduate Mass, College Pharmacy Boston] of St. John, N. B., recommends this remedy to the full confidence ot the public. [d15 4w
