THE DAILY BXAMINER.
PAST ANO PRESENT.
Aw old gentleman with a quick eye and
a good memory has written an open letter Much of what he says is applicable as well to the people of Canada.
to electors in the States.
We quote:
“ Talk about the rich getting richer and the poor poorer! If you are standing with asiranger on the street to-day, and the daughter of a millionaire and the daughter of @ carpenter, a teamster or a hod-carrier pass by,and you ask the Stranger to guess which One is the daughter of the milliouaire, the odds are even that he will poiat to the daughter of the hod- carrier. Ia al] probability sbe is as well drexsed and as wel! educated as the other.
It is ali bosh to talk about the times getting harder for the poor man than they u-ed to be. We are ai! getting more extravae and reckless. We want to get
@peod and make a show
with a vergeance: an?
that the people c @ great deai uw . of the necessaries; comforts atid the luxuries of life for their Money now than they could when he wae a boy, he says:
“To show that the times are not harder with the laborer or the farmer than they were fifty or sixty years ago, let me quote a few prices. A suit of men’s clothes that you get now for $15 or $20 would then
ave cost you $40. The common woolen bucket that you buy for 25 cents then co-t youadollar. Any kind of tinware then cost from three to four times as much as it does now. Guns, shot, lead, rope, every- thing that was made abroad or imported, cost from two to four times what they do now. Common brown sugar was worth from 12 to 18 cents a pound, tea twice whet it is now, and coffee so dear that I have many atime browned barley or wheat an! mixed it, two thirds barley or wheat and one third coffee. Tea, coffee and sugar were then considered luxuries, now they a-e considered necessaries. Nails, I re- member, were ten cents a pound, You eculd not get any kind of calico for less than l4centsayard. These are only a few samples. The same fall in prices wil! hold true of everything the people have to buy except farm products. Now for those So 0 a most ofthe people then
ad to raise to get money to pay for the high priced articles I have nam-d. I have raised many # ton of tobaczo and sold it for $2.50 per hundred weight for the very best, the p-orer quality bringing only 75 cents. I bave seen corn that would yield fifty bushels to the acre se!! in the field for $1.37} cents per acre at administrator’s sale. Pigs and shoats four months old sold at the same time for 37} cents a dozen. I have seen sold at the country hotel many a dozen chickens at 37} cents. I have sold turkeys, grown, fat and dressed at 20 cents each and took my pay in dry goods at more than double the present prices. How is it now? I have paid 25 cents per peuod for turkey in this town. I have seen many a nice cow and calf sold both for $6. I have sold, after driving them four miles, 23 hogs, averaging 250 pounds neat meat, for $71, and everything else in
roportion. Servant girls in those days
ired out for 50 cents a week and board, and they not ouly did the cooking but also the washing and ironing. I have known men take contracts to clear up heavy tim- bered land at $5 per acre, ready for the
low. and there would be from ten to fifteen arge trees to the acre, any one of which could not be got out of the wav at the pre- sent time for less than $5.
The advance in wealth and comfort has, the old gentleman contends, been participated in by wage earners as well as by others. He says :—
“ You can see this if you compare tie wages an! prices of to-day with those of fifty vears ago. You could hire a good common laborer then for 15 to 20 cents a day. I have known good farm hands to hire by the year for $60 and board. At that time every parent had to pay for his children’s schooling, and you could hire a teacher—the best they had then—for $15 ® month and board b m around among his patrons. Now, any kind of a teacher get< $50 to $60, and avy kind of a hired band $15 and board. That isall right. I like tosee the laborer get good pay, and I don’t believe there is any man living who has more sympathy for the poor laboring man than I; for no man ever started ia life poorer than I did. I began without adime in my pocket. My first job was harvestng aod tbhrshing out grain with horses for 20 cents a day and boarded myself, except that wy employer gave mea lunch. There was no farm ma- chinery then and grain had to be trampled out with horses.
How is it now? The harvest hand gets from $1.50 to $2.50 per day, and owing to the rapid work of the reaping and = thresh- ing machines the farmer gets more out of it than be did then. Both the farmer and his hands educate their children, if they have any, atthe public expense. The older ones are tent to a public high school and if Johhsy’s parents want a lawyer in the family, there is a Hastings Law School that don’t cost him a cent. Al! is support- ed by the taxpayer, the much abused owner of property, and it is all free to Johony even if his father don’t pay a cent of the taxes for its support, That is all right and 1 like to see it. What I don’t like is to hear Johnny’s father complain- ing about the rich people robbing the

LETTERS 10 THE RDITOR.
THE PROVINCIAL SITUATION.
Letter From Mr. W. 8, Stewart, Q. C.
Sir,—The scheme of administration which I have proposed will no doubt meet with some opposition. Teachers would prefer to receive their whole pay from the government, Still it can make little dif- ference who pays them as long as they are paid, There will, I believe, be few if any school districts that will not readily meet their obligations. The trustees throughout the Island have already bad experienc? '5 levying and collecting school rates, and the new plan would only slightly add to the amount of tue tax required. Itis not necessary that I should dispute the con- ‘tion that if our Province had ample
wes it would be better that the gov-
+t should bear the whole cost of
son out of the general revenue. The
of the Province are, however, not
“Gt is incumbent pon us to make
wands on the treasury conform to mount of our income; that is, we must
cut the garment to suitthecloth. In our circumstances I am convinced that it is not the business of the Province to furnish all the higher education that its youth may find useful. The State does not usually supply a professional education, and why should it be obliged to teach the higher branches that a portion of the people may receive culture aad polish? The Province should at its own expense supply the fun- damental branches of education, such as reading, writing, arithmetic, geography,
English, grammar and a knowledge of our country’s history acd the should be done fur the reason
that there is no greater danger or peril to a@ community than general ignorance. But beyond supplying education for its own defence, the province should not go— not at least until our finances Improve. Anything further required should be sup- plied by the city, district, or individual par- ent. Our province is simply too poor to afford to pay for the teaching of the higher brauches, or what has been ealled the luxuries of education. The $83 grant, then, from the government to each school or department will represent what the province will pay for the groundwork of education and this amount should be suf- ficient for the purpose. We must consider that although the price of all kinds of focd products and goods has greatly depreciated money alone has appreciated. The pu:chas- ing power of money is now 50 per cent greater thanin 1877 when the province paid for the entire cost of education with $65,00C, and can any one deny that $45,- 000 to-day will go as far in supplying the necessaries and comforts of life as §6©$65,000 in 1877. In makiog a $65,000 grant at that time we believed we were doing bandsomely for elucation although the income from the Land Office was very large and there was no provincial debt. If we pay $45,000 now with its greatly increased purchasing power, to the ordinsry teachers, can it with reason be said, that in view of the condition of the province, we are not doing eaough? Tue poorer districts will not be able to complain that any injustice is being done them; for tle province will do for them exactly what it will do for the most wealthy and prosperous settlement, that is pay for the teaching of the fundamental branches. Ifa more prosperous district can afford to pay for the teaching of the ornamental branches, the poorer one has no just reason to complain apy more than the poor man may complain that his situ- ation im life prevents him from having all the luxuries of dress and food which his wealthy neighbor can afford to indulge in. It may be said, and the Patriot has already yoiced the sentimeut, that the proposed change will work to the injury cf the poor man. Let those who flippantly so assert, consider the matter a little. We pay now out of the local treasury about $122,000 a year for education,—a very large sum considering the limited dimensions of opr revenue. Will it he denied that a very large proportion ef this $122,000 goes to pay for the teaching of the higher oc more ornamental branches of education? And how much good does such ruch expenditure do for the poor man? Is it not a fact that the poorer farmer and working man are obliged, by the necessities of their circumstances, to take their children away from school at an early age to help work to keep the household together, while the well-to-do farmer and mechanic, not hampered by any such necessities, have facilities provided them at the public expense of giving their children an education in allthe higher branches ? Let those wbo are continually crying out in behalf of the poor man defend if they can the injustice of such a state of “airs, If the province supply all alike with ao education in the necessary branches . the poor man’s son or daughter need not suffer in the ace if they have ability and character. Some of our best men bave received less education than $83 a school can supply.
The scheme I have proposed claims to be in the interest of the whole people, re- gardiessof class. It is suggested as a solution of an intolerable condition of affairs which is discouraging our people and bankrupting our Province. Let those who oppose it set to work and prove one more simple, more economical and more jnet, and they shall have my hearty sup-
rt. Iam not irrevocably wedded to the one which I have endeavoreed to explain. In my humble opinion it is the best yet offered to the public, but when a better oae is brought forward I shal! uot be backward in its support. There is one thing clear enough : the minds of our peo- ple are made up that an end must be put to the system of making large yearly ad- ditions to the provincial debt. The present government seems to be wedded to this policy; at any rate it has not so far been able to find another. This matter of the public debt is of the most vital interest to the whole community. We shall be obliged to pay from this out $20,000 a year inter- est, so large has it become. Return the pre- sent government to power and at the end of its next term the debt will be so in- creased that $40,000 a year will scarcely suffice to pay the interest thereon. This is what will surely happen because the re- ceipts from the land office will for. the future be small iadeed compared to what they have been. For fourteen years a different system bas been talked of but never put in practice. When ehould the change be made, now or five years hence, or when the debt will amount to three or four million dollars? Then every dollar of the subsidy that we receive from the Dominion must go to pay for interest! What then about the other services, the provision for education, the roads, bridges, wharves and ferries, the administration of justice, in short the whole service of the Province? Where are we to find the money to pay for these? We cannot pick it up on the roads or meadows. It can only be obtained by taxing the people; and what taxes! Is it not the part of wisdom to give now while we are able, $45,000 a year to the teachers ratherthan wait for four years when we will only be able to give $25,000, or continue in our present course for eight years and not be able to
give one dollar ? Loox back over the past eight years, if

you please, They soon passed by; but |
they left in theirtrain a public debt of | half # million dollars. There are twenty | thousand reasons why the people shonid | insist On a changé being made now rather | than five yeara hence when thry will again consulted.
There are not only direct evil re- sults of debt building, but indirect, Pile up the debt, increase the taxes,—the taxes must be paid. Whogoes to the | wall? ‘The poorer farmers, compelled to give largely of the results of their hafd work to the government, will not bé able to meet their other obligations, The mor’gages will be forclosed and the for- mer owners must depart the province to earn a living fer themselves and families. Who elee are injured? Vacant farms, land depreciation,—will not these directly effect the positioa of every property owner in the Province? No good can be ex- pected from the present government, The people have looked in vaia to it for relief. Will the opposition rise to the occasion? Some timid people allege that the govern~ ment should be opposed on its record and that it is not the duty of an Opposition te formulate a positive policy. So evidently thought the grit opposition in this’ Pro- vince from 1879 to 1890 with the result
i
that it was badly beaten in the four general elections that took place during that period, and co it would appear the leaders of the grit party in Canada Uyought
from 1878 to 1896 with the result to them that the Canadian people at four conseou- tive general elections refused to have anything todo with a party that could-not agree on any principle of state policy and stick to it. These were not, however, the tactics ofthat great tact’cian Sir John McDonald who in 1876 lauoched bis National Policy b:fore the whole Can adian people~a policy for the, whole people which as it carried him (riumph- antly to power completely routed and defeated bis opponents. In such a critical time as this, the opposition cannot do better than fully and frankly make known to the people the course it means to. pur- sue when power is placed iv its hands. ! W.S. Srewarr.

MR, STE WART’S LETTER.
Sir,—I am greatly interested in Mr. Stewart’s letters. They are just what the people want. We know that the Province is going on in a bad way. But we don’t know how we are to get it out of that way. Mr. Stewart proposes to strike off the taxes and a large part of the amount that now goea to pay the salaries of school. teachers. Well, that is clear. I never could understand why we should pay eo much to educate our boys and girls to’ ¢0 to the States. If they were taught fo stay at home and farm. I could see som § thing in it for the province. Still, I wiu not support Mr. Stewart’s pla until I cee whether or not someone else will propose romething better. Why don’t you explain your propositions, Mr. Editor, ?
