jfriia PROHIBITION FARCE

.

_.8lr,—'i‘he great mass of the peo- ple are nowfeellug that they are

within proximate distance of gett- ing a straight opportunity of deal- ing the death blow to that scream- ing farce and gigantic imposture called Prohibition. Until now this has been a one-sided gamelof hy- pocrlsy very well curried on in the guise of plebiscites, referendums— concocted to promote the political interests of o. few women and an army of office-seekers. At bcs

they are only a "political ring, who plot an scheme in the inner Liber

a1 clrc e, that passes out the cards from ambush to the operators out- side. lt is well known that they would never vote for the prohibit- ion ticket if it prevented them from procuring all the booze they want- ed themselves. But knowing that the majority 0f the “free and ill- dependent" are handled-plied they push their activities with hollow zeal. They have kept the voters blindfolded, and when they carry a farce they content themselves with shouting at somebody else to "inform" ‘on the men and women who deceive themselves with the idea. that they are "free and inde- pendent" electors, when as a mat ter of fact they are only blinded by the “wet-dry” schemes who play the game.

The question might well be ask ed those tricksters why the Prohlb ition law has not been "enforced" in deference to all this boohoolng about lnon-euforcement." Why have they not done the "informing"

of railing at those who voted Bkainsf. it’! Simply they acted the hypocrite and helped to avoid an KOYOIIIB the Prohibition Farce.

As a direct consequence of the loss of its people, the Island Pifivimie has. within the past twenty years, lost two of the six re»- presentatives it had in the House of Commons and by the next redistribution of seats must inevitably lose another. With half of the representation already lost. with the unit of representation aver growing larger from census to census, while the Island's people diminish with increasing speed, like snow in the growing warmth of an April sun, the people are left to contemplate, with such composure as they can. command, the possibility of which Sir Wilfrid Laiirier spoke in Parliament not long ago, that Prince Edward Island might yet be represented by a single member. This must happen when Quebec shall havca. population of three millions and the population of this province is depicted to or below 68,000. A Quebec of 2,500,000 would give the Island province but two members to represent the population it has today.

But our losses are not limited to those of population and representation. In common with the other Maritime Provinces, we have lost three-fourths of our shipping tonnage. In 1879. Canada, with 1,333,000 tons of shipping, ranked fourth among the maritime nations of tlic world, and the three provinces by ‘the sea owned more than two-thirds of the ivhole. T he three provinces have now less than one-fourth part of the tonnage they then Iiad, and Canada in licr comnicrtizil marine has dropped to eleventh place among the nations.

To loss of population, loss of representation in Parliament, and loss of shipping, must bc added the consequent losses to pro- vincial revenue, to trade anti industry, to church and schoolgsup- port, the diminished value 0f real estate and the greater burden of taxation that fails upon the diminished number of taxpayers Taken all together it is a tragedy indeed.

Yet the people of Prince Edward Island are not poor. Their soil, have enabled them to live and prosper under certain htird conditions, to be presently adverted to. They have seven Of fright millions of dollars on deposit in the banks, and there is perhaps less actual poverty than in any community of like numbers linfCiuli ada. And the people have not, as in- othcr provinces, c t, the rural districts to congregateiiii the towns. By the census, Cllar - lottetown has lost during the past decade as many people propor- tionately as tiic rural districts. d f . iig exo us, roni this fair province? The causes are various, but may be slimmed up in one-the lack of opportunities available elsewhere in and outside of Canada. To speak more in detail, the followingcauses may be assigned. The lack of paying ivinter employment 0f flnY sort, except the usual attendance upon farm stock. This arts-es from the almost entire absence of manufacturing industries, T1115. in tttrii, arises from the disabilities in regard to transportation, es- pecially in winter. And hcrc successive governments at Ottawa are blamed, and justly blamed, by the people. Caiiadzrlias shimm- lessly broken her pledged faith iii regard to providing. continuous steam communication between the Island and the. mainland, sum- met‘ and iviutcr." In summer the communication IS regular, but burdened with excessive rates. In ivinter it has been» most irregu- lar and more costly. _ ~ ,
