THE DAILY EXAMINER,
FEBRUARY 15, 1887.
Mr: Blake as a Political Acrobat.
Wuen Sir Charles Tupper introduced Parlia-
hundred millions
his celebrated resolutions in
ment, by which one of acres of land, were set apart for the building the Cana- dian Pacific Railway, Mer. Blake stated that al the arable land in the Northwest would have to be given away before the line could be constructed from that source.
purpose of
He then placed the value of the land at less than $l an acre. In less than one year afterwards, when it was proposed to grant 25,000,000 acres of land, in addition to $25,000,000, to the Canadian Pacific syndi- cate to build the road, Mr. Blake suddenly and without giving any reason, fixed the value of the same land at from $2 to $5 an acre. We will not stop at this point to draw any inferences from this sudden change in his estimate of the value of the land, but will simply state that when ral- lied by Sir Charles Tupper upon his change

+e
by saying that he did not ‘intend to be bound by anything he had said before.” This is only one iUlustration, but a very prominent one, of the Grit leader's ability to wipe out his past record, and adopt new opinions diametrically opposed to his for- mer ones.
Another illustration, and one on @ ques-
ly five millions of people, is his last somer- sault, from a free trader to an_ incidental When the Hon. Peter Mit- chell introduced his resolution with a view
protectionist.
of abolishing the tax on flour and coal, in 1882, Mr. Blake said in Parliament :-—-
‘‘ That fuel and breadstuffs should be made free; and that the duty on cotton woolens and such articles should be reduced.”
But to show. how strangely versatile is Mr. Blake as to principles, we quote a part of his speech on the same subject, delivered at Malvern, East York, Ontario, in January, 1887. Mr. Blake says :—
‘* But as to wheat and wheat flour, I think that the changed conditions point rather to a reduction of duties with a readjustment of the disproportion between the tax on wheat and that on flour than to a total abolition; and so of coal.”
Still more contradictory and inconsistent are his statements on the principle of Free rade and the principles adopted as part of the National Policy. The people of Char- lottetown cannot forget how severely Mr. Blake, in his speech in this city, censured Sir John Macdogdd and his colleagues for the introduction of the N. P., and how he deplored its effects upon the commerce of the country. His words at that time were these :—
‘The principles of Free Trade are, n my opinion, undeniable. I hope the world will come to them; I desire as far as possible to promote these principles.” :
In Montreal, last week, Mr. Blake did himself deny the principles of Free Trade as it relates to this country, and he hopes that the whole Dominion, if not the whole world, will come to his principles now. The principles which he now avows are contained in these words :—
‘* That there was no possibility of a change in a system of taxation, the necessary effect of which was to give large and ample advantages to the Canadian manufacturer over his com- petitor abroad.”
What does all this prove? Either that Mr. Blake had not the sagacity to detect his errors when opposing the introduction of the N. P., or that he had not the candor toown them. What guarantee have the people of Canara, if Mr. Blake were placed
in power, that his professions now in favor

John Macdonald and Sir Charles Tupper. They, while in opposition, advecated a policy which they put in operation when they secured the governing power; and they have consistently adhered to that policy.
The one, ambitious to rule, adopts all means as just and honorable, even to the
debasement of the country, to bring about the end he desires, The others, far-seeing, sagacious and patriotic, adopt means which place their country almost at one bound among the most prosperous states in the
world.

Souris Grit List.
Sin,—The reports of Grit meetings held in Sonris which appear in the Patriot, and the statements made from time to time in that paper of the progress of the Grit candidates, must be accepted with-——well, they appear in the Patriot, that’s enough.
[t is stated that over 400 electors were pre: sent. The meeting was held in a store at present unused on account of the N. P. (no pay.) This store, if packed with Grits as closely as sardines in a box, could not possibly contain more than one hundred and fifty, (medium sized) and if the understanding of all present was equal to that) of the Greenvale crank who spoke on the public debt, the reom would not contain more than eighty.
The arguments of the * Souris boy ” who de- fended the Grits at the New Zealand meeting were 89 completely shattered by the stories that it reminded the audience of the havoc committed by the proverbial ‘‘ bull in the china shop”—or Rose’s cow dashing froma depot of the Canada Pacific Railway into a giase factory in Ontario.”
The meeting at New Zealand was -by actual count two to one in favor of the Conservatives, and the idea of the feeble veiced dude of the syndicate store yetting a hearing for any speaker is, to use his own phraseology, ‘** preposterous in the extreme.” ;
The Grit candidates finding that they are leading a forlorn hope will turn all their batteries against this first d’strict, and for the next week we may expect to see the air thick with their misrepresentations and falsehoods. Let the electors beware of the Grit tactics and stand true to the people candidates—Mac- donaldeand Muttart.

. A Oritie Criticized.
Sir,—In the issue of the Patriot of the 2nd inst., there is a derogatory report of the Hon. Donald Ferguson's lecture at Irishtown, on the 13th ult.. The article is signed ‘‘New Londen.”
in the first place, he imsinuates that there was but a small audience. This is utterly untrue, for the building was crowded, notwithstanding the bad state of the roads.
Again, he says that it is very easy for Mr, Ferguson to carry on farming when he earns $1,500 a yeas Who has Mr. Fergu- son to thank ’—net the New Lendon serib- bler. It plainly shows that, if Mr. Fer- guson was not a man of ability he would not be insuch an hoenorable position. Then he says, ‘tthe Lecture is a very com- monplace one.” Indeed ! It must be, when it has been so highly speken of by several of the leading agricultural and educational jjournals of the Dominion, which journals, { presume, are more reliable authorities on the merits of a lecture than the writer from New London. The fact of the matter is, ‘that Mr. Ferguson’s lectures on ‘*Agricul- jtural Education” and ‘Love of Country,” jentitle him to fist rank as a lecturer,
He also gues on to teli about a French- What has that
i ' i'man lecturing on Gartield. ‘to do with the lecture ?
| He furthermore tells that, by the way the ‘lecture is praised in THe Examiner, it must have been Mr. Ferguson himself wrote it. Well done! Londoner! You again display your inability as a critic.
The undersigned is in a_ position to inform the writer from New London that Mr. Ferguson did not write the report in | THE Examiner.
Yours, &c., Far Ptay. New London, Feb. 10, 1887.
A Big Cabinet.
The St. John Sun remarks that according to the best information available, Mr. Blake pro- poses, if ever he becomes Premier, to form a cabinet of thirty-six men. Four candidates in Nova Scotia are said to have announced that they are to be taken into the coming Grit iministry. Mr. Davies is to be Minister of | Marine and Fisheries. An intimate friend of iMr. Weldon spent an hour this week canvass- ing a man for a personal vote for Mr. Weldon, alleging that only by his election could St. John obtain a seat in the next Grit cabinet. Mr. King has several times declared to elec- tors of Queens that he has a distinct promise of a portfolio from Mr Blake. Mr, ang will hardly undertake to deny that he has so
stated. Thenthere is Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Gregory. The Blake cabinet, which was to
have been formed had Mr. Blake’s party been successful, would therefore have contained a dozen representatives from the Maritime Pro- vinees, which would mean three dozen minis- ters in all.
