POLICY OF THE Ul
NISTRY.
**We have in this country at the present mo- moment NO IDEA of having a system of Free Trade.” —Ifon. A. McKenzie at Toronte.
‘The policy of the Government is deter- mined opposition to the Opposition”.--Pre- mier’s Speech at the Drill Shed.
In other words, the policy of the Gov- ernment is to slander their opponents and do nothing for the good of the country.
THE OPPOSITION PLATFORM.
A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF THE TARIFF.
To make the duties fall more equitably.
To make it the interest of the United States to accord Reciprocity.
To revive the languishing West India Trade.
To remove the present barriers to the de- velopment of our Agricultural, Mining and other Natural resources ; and gen- erally
To encourage Home Industries with Ho ne Markets for Home Produce.
To promote our Fishing interests and pro- tect the rights of our Fishermen.
Economy IN DeparrMeNTAL ADMINISTRA- TION.

LIAMENT, AND HAVE NEVER PROPOSED AN INCREASE, BUT ONLY A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF TARIFF.
‘* Joun A. McDonatp.”
‘‘We can well understand that we may raise the duty on woollen, cotton and other goods, but lower the duty on articles of general consumption which we cannot pro- duce, and the volume of taxation may be LESS IN FACT, although it may be raised, at any given time, higher than it was before.
If a man were obliged to pay a cent more
for his cotton, and had a cent taken off his tea, it would be found, by calculation, that he was a gainer by the operation.” —Sir John in Parliament.
MR. TILLEY’S PLANK.
Mr. Titiry then took up the public ex- penditure, showing that an average expen- diture of $22,500,009 was all that was necessary, and the expenditure onght to have been kept within that, instead of an average, as it has been, of $24,000,000. The policy of the Opposition was Nor IN- CREASED TAXATION, as it had been stated by their opponents, but a readjustment of the tariff and REDUCED EXPENDI- TURES. These were the planks in their platform, together with encowragement to our manufacturing industries; ship’s ma- terials, raw materials, machinery not made in the country, free; 15 PER CENT. on non-enumerated articles ; and an increase of the tariff on such articles as we can pro- duce in the country, giving employment to our people and a HOME MARKET FOR OUR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE.
DR. TUPPER’S PLANK.
‘*T trust I have satisfied the House that IT IS NOT a question of high or low taxe- tion, any further than this, that, inasmuch as we governed the country with a small taxation, and inasmuch as we are prepared to govern the country again without those extravagant expenditures made by the pres- ent Government since they have been en- trusted with power, all we ask is, Nov THAT THE TAXATION OF THE PEOPLE SHALL BE INCREASED, because we do not require so much money as the hon. gentlemen oppo- site, as we have shown by our economy in the past, and which we are prepared to practice in the future, but that the money shall be levied in such a way as to FURNISH EMPLOYMENT FOR THE PEOPLE AND PROVIDE THE MEANS OF PAYING THE TAXATION THAT Is LEVIED UPON THEM.”

‘Disgraceful Conduct of one of our Public Men.
'To the Editor of the Examiner.
| Sir,—lIt is notorious, as you are aware, | that we, the electors of the 2nd District of | King’s County, cannot hold an orderly and respectable political meeting;and I am satis- | fied that the majotity of those who attend- }ed the meeting held at Souris, on the 23rd inst., willagree with me, not merely on | that occasion, but every meeting held there since this campaign began, was a disgrace to any civilized community.
Instead of giving each speaker an atten- tive hearing, certain parties indulged in the unseemly conduct of hooting, shout- ing, and imitating a domestic animal,whose instinct places him, in point of intelligence, a step in advance of hishuman imitators on that occasion. The Liberal-Conservatives toa man, at that meeting, were willing to give each speaker a patient hearing, providing that he had a vote onthis Island, and paid his poll tax. But not so with the Grit Party. For, after Mr. L. McDonald, M. P. P., ceased his nonsencial harangue, —and I must say it appeared to me to be an interposition of Providence, in favour of the people, that caused him to stop—for he stopped where he began, and was just beginning to repeat his speech for the twentieth time, when he broke down,— J. R. McLean, Esq., came forward to ex-
plain his reasons for supporting the Liberal Conservative candidates; and the majority of those present were willing to give him a hearing. But
Dr. McIntyre with that low spirit of re- venge, characteristic of him, passed through the Grit portion of the meeting, telling his supporters, and the lowest of them in the social scale of course, to hoot Mr. McLean not to give him a hearing, &c. Now, his friends, of course, will say, this is false. But I am prepared to prove otherwise, as I as well as several others, who were not his political friends heard him plainly tell a a few of the most servile of his followers not to allow the above named gentleman to speak.
This is one of the Grit candidates for King’s County, who should try and act the part of a gentleman, although he might get some little trouble in overcoming his natu- ral instincts. What can be expected of a
self, guilty of the disgraceful seenes enacted in our midst. His ungentlemanly conduct added to Mr. Cartwright’s insult to the Highlanders, and the ruinous policy of McKenzie, have caused almost every person of intelligence in this district to oppose him and his party. Uaving already trespassed on too much of your valuable space I will conclude by saying that Dr. McIntyre has made a great mistake when he supposed that the rowdy element predominates in this district, as he will find out to his en- tire satisfaction on the 17th day of Septem- ber next, Yours, &c., Ke.

Who 1s to Blame ?
To the Editor of the Examiner : Sir,—After reading the statements made in some of the Island papers and what has been telegraphed abroad to such papers as the Halifax Chronicle and St. John Tele- graph, concerning the ‘‘grand Free Trade meeting” at the Drill Shed and the state- ments made about Mr. Brecken, one would almost be persuaded that the whole afiair, meeting and all, was only adream. Had I not been there and seen for myself, I might have come to the conclusion that Mr. Brecken was very rude. When those papers state that Mr. Brecken acted the rowdy and brought some of the lowest scum of Charlottetown to annoy and disturb Messrs. McKenzie and Cartwright, they state what they must know to be a false- hood. Mr. Brecken is well known in Char- lottetown to be a genitleman—a gentleman who is not ashamed to be seen walking by the side of the poor farmer or mechanic, although they may wear a poor coat. He has always been generous towards his op- ponents and ready to show them fairplay; and there is no doubt but what his desire of fairplay actuated him to modestly ask Mr. L. H. Davies’ Chairman to grant him a short time to answer Mr. Cartwright'’s speech, so that those who were present would be able to judge for themselves. Could any man be called a rowdy for doing that? And when Mr. Brecken went on,to the rostrum, had he not as good a right to go there as Mr. L. H. Davies! Surely he had. Why should it be denied him? There must be something wrong that the McKenzie party fears to have exposed. If it isnot so, why would they not allow Mr. ' Brecken to be heard. Only to-day I took ‘notice that Messrs. Sinclair and McGill are ‘invited to speak next Tuesday evening in \the Skating Rink, where they will be ac- corded thesame patient hearing as is in store for Hon. Dr. Tupperand Hon. J. McDonal?. This is right. It is fair. It is manly. it shows that there is an independent spirit amongst the Liberal-Conservative ranks, and a desire to hear both sides. This thing of having hole and corner meetings—shut- ting out a chance of discussion on matters
jof yital importance—is a thing that should
party whose leader would so demean him-, The public will know which party is

be frowned down by every independent man. What do we care for one party more than another, ifthey cannot see any further than enriching themselves, at the expense of the many / What we want are men who will not keep the motto ever before their eyes : ‘‘Love daddy, love mammy, love own self best.” We want a Government who, while they may not starve themselves in their countries cause, will have an eye to the best interests of the farmer and me- chanic, and this great Dominion in general. We don’t want a Government like the pre- sent Dominion Government, which has nothing left for improvements after dear brother Charles and others get their share of Steel Rails, &c. We don’t want a Gov- ernment that can’t do any more than pro- mise, but perform nothing; and, if the people of Charlottetown—who are always a peaceful and law-abiding people—are in- censed at the doings of the Dominion Gov- ernment, and at the Grit wing of our Local Government, taking such an active part in Gritism—after granting away the rights of our Island mechanies, and burdening the country with taxation—all to no purpose— would it be much to wonder at if the very men who hold their offices as a_ gift from ° the Conservative wing of our Local Gov. ernment, are the most forward in the fight against the friends of those members who grants those Local Grits their pap.
And I certainly think that if any charge could be made of rowdyism against any leading party, it should be put on the back of another man in place of Mr. Brecken. But the day is not far distant, when those five gentlemen Conservatives, who now hold the balance of Local power, will tell Mr. L. H. Davies and company, that there isatime when patience ceases to be a virtue, and they ‘‘ cannot bow down their necks always.”
That Messrs. Sinclair (dashaway policy) and Mr. McGill (two sides to his shield) may have a good hearing in turn with the two Honorable gentlemen who have kindl consented to come to Charlottetown to ad dress us, and that no more indecent, lying telegrams will find their way to Halifax and St. John, but that the truth may be told to the people so that when they do make a choice they will not be disappuint- ed, is the earnest wish of

The Drill Shed Meeting.
A SPECTATOR’S REMINISCENCES.
To the Editor of the Examiner :—
Str,—The Patriot has labored hard to make the most of the poor reception which the Premier of Canada received at the hands of our people. Facts are stubborn things; and the more the real facts connected with the McKenzie and Cartwright visit here are placed fairly before the public the more will it be seen that their followers in this city and county, at all events, are in the minor- ity. First, the Ministerial reception: On arriving at the Charlottetown Station, from Georgetown, at a favorable hour in the fore- noon, they were driven quietly to the Ran- kin House. From thence, in the afternoon, they made their way to the Drill Shed in solemn silence. During the day the only establishment from one end of Queen street to the other that hoisted a flag was Donald Farquharson’s. When their honors entered the Drill Shed their followers could not suc- ceed in even greeting them with a cheer that could be heard a few yards off.
THE SPEECHES.
Mr. Cartwright was listened to with marked attention. True at least two-thirds of his audience were adverse to his policy and opposed to the Grit administration, yet they listened to his speech patientiy. When he closed his remarks, Mr. Brecken, one of the candidates for this County, asked permission of the Grit Chairman, Thomas Walker Dodd, to be allowed a few minutes to explain and correct some of the misstatements made by the Finance Minis- ter. The Chairman’s reply was “Sit down, Sir. Noone shall be allowed to open his mouth in this meeting excepting McKenzie and Cartwright.” At this rough, uncouth,
ungentlemanty reply on the part of the meek Thomas Walker Dodd,
the immense crowd, very naturally, shouted for their favorite speaker, Mr. Brecken; and because he would not be allowed to ad- dress the people, two-thirds of whom were eager to hear the scathing reply that he was prepared to give the Finance Minister, he waxed warm; and the crowd, incensed at the arbitrary ruling ef the Chairman, re- solved that until Brecken would be allowed to speak, they would not listen to any other speaker—not even the Premier. Thus pro- ceedings were stayed until about 64 o’clock, when Mr. Brecken announced that a meet- ing was to come off at the Skating Rink at 8 o'clock, to which he invited and chal- lenged his oppenents to a fair discus- sion, where fair play and British free- dom would be allowed to predominate, At this time nearly all had left for their homes. A few, however, of McKenzie’s officials from the Railroad, Customs, and other departments stood by him. These, with a few straggling citizens, were favored witha short address from the Premier. During the delivery of this ill-natured and ill-timed address, the Premier mani- fested a very irritable demeanour which was pitiful tobehold in a manof his position. Mr. Brecken’s challenge was declined. The Premier and his Minister retired. Next morning about 9 o'clock the Premier and Mr. Cartwright, in company with Mr.
B. McKenzie (familiarly called
