THE DAILY EXAMINER.

JANUARY 27, 1857.

The City Council.

As a result of the election, yesterday, the City Council will in the coming year be comprised of Hon. 'T. H. Haviland, Q. C. Mayor; Thomas Morris, David Small, John Kelly, H. C. Douse, A. A. McLean, 5. WwW. Crabbe, Samuel McRae, Henry Davison, Alexander Horne, Thomas A. McLean.

By re-electing the Hon. Mr. Haviland, the citizens secured the services of one who, by experience and training and social position, is well qualified for the office. Mr. Haviland’s large majority of hundred and forty would, no doubt, have

Mr. Norten failed in his first attempt to secure election in Ward Two, but he obtained a large and respectable vote and may count on ‘ better luck next time.’ For Ward One, Mr. David Small will take the seat of Mr. James Curtis—though it is evident that he will not be as well able to fill it. Onthe whole, we think a very good Council has been obtained. If the record they will make proves to be as good as that made last year, citizens will have small cause for complaint.

“Mir. Blake's Railway Policy.”

Arrer a week of cogitation, the Patriot has essayed to answer that part of Mr. Fer- guson's speech in which the misrepresenta- tion of Mr. Davies concerning ‘‘Mr. Blake’s Railway Policy,” was exposed. The speech in which this ‘‘ Policy” is developed is jong, and,—like most of Mr. Blake's ut- terances respecting that which he proposes to du—very vague. We do not that the Patriot spent a week over it—-and failed to make anything out of it, or that

wonder

Mr. Ferguson did not quote the whole of it. The Patriot complains that Mr. Fergu- son omitted the words ‘‘ Well, sir, as re- gards Nova Scotia, the account requires a brief statement.” Butthese words do not in any way effect the principle laid down by Mr. Blake that for railways built before Confederation no subsidy should. be grant- ed. Mr. Blake was ‘laying down a prin- ciple” which might *‘ have important bear- ings in the future ;” it was with the ‘ prin- ciple ” that Mr. Ferguson was dealing. As will readily be seen the application of the principle was not—could not in reason be —

Mr. Biake de-

clared that he did ** nut take into account

contined to Nova Scotia,

railway obligations which had been con- tracted BesoreE ConEEpERATION.” If he did not take into account railways built in

Nova Scotia before Confederation, how could he take into account a _ rail- way built in Prince Edward Island before Confederation ? **It seems to me,”

said Mr. Blake, ‘‘ a reasonable ground, for tho reason, first of all, that we have nothing to do with the obligations which acere con- tracted before Confederation that were to be met out of the funds achich were provided by the financial adjustment before Coufeder- ation.”

In these words Mr. Blake expressed what every one must sec was a principle of ap- plicaticn, not to Nova Scotia alone, but to all the Provinces. This is the more evident when Mr. Blake proceeds to say: *‘ Nor shall I allude specifically to the Provinces of British Columbia or Prince Edward Is- jand, inasmuch as Iam not able to point out to the House any question of railway ex- penditure with reference to this Province.”

Mr. Blake knew that there was in Prince Edward Island a railway; for he had travel- led upon it and sneered at its “tortuous He must have known that it was not built since Confederation ; for he

windings.”

said that he was not able tu point out any question of railway expenditure with re- ference to this Province. If he knew that it was not built since Confederation, he Must have beon awire that it was buill) be.

THE DAILY EXAMI

cluded it from the provisions of his railway *“policy.”

That policy was to grant subsicies to Pre- vincial Governments which had built rail- ways, their own resources, after Confederation. Quebee had built railway—the railway for which she received the subsidy—after Confederation ; and Mr, Blake expressly stated that he did not take into account railways built BEFORE Con-

out of her

FEDERATION.

This being the fact, the hopes held out to the electors of Belfast and New London were simply false.

Perhaps Mr. Davies sinned in ignorance. It may be that he was dozing while Mr. Blake delivered his railway speech ; and it may be that he never read it after it was published in Hansard. In charity we must try to believe that his attempted deception of the eloctors was not knowing and deli-

berate.

A ME me

“Weare creditably informed that Hon. Neil MeLeod, in his canvass for Ferguson‘and Campbell, says that the Tory policy is to tarn out ALL the employes on the railway, and put in new men. Does Mr. McLeod mean this, oris he acting a part characteristic of all lories, to deceive for the purpose of catching afew votes. * Electors, beware !-— Patriot.

This is not a likely story, and of course there's no truth in it. Mr. McLeod is not quite such a fool as to threaten the em- ployes of the railway; for, in the first place carry the threat and in the place he that the employes of the railway will vote for Ferguson and Campbeli—by a large ma- jority. Much more likely is it that the Grit party will, in their partisan rage, dis-

he couldn't out,

second expects

miss the competent men who now compose the railway staff, and put others in their places —-if only they manage to gain office. ~~ It is openly conceded by the most in- telligent Grits in Charlottetown, that they never saw Mr. Davies, in all his political peregrinations, get such a complete ‘‘knock out” as was admfnistered to him by Mr. Ferguson, at the Liberal-Conservative meeting held the other night in the Market Hall. Yet the Daily Patriot has the im- pudence to talk about ‘Davies’ crushing

reply to Ferguson.’ What next!

THE CAMPAIGN. Apvices from the west state that a _poli- tical meeting was held at Tignish on Tues- day afternoon. About 160 electors were present, and were addressed by Messrs. Hackett, Lefurgey and Yeo. The meeting then divided—eight electors going to the side of Mr. Yeo; the rest showing that they intended to vote on the 22nd Feb- ruary for Hackett and Lefurgey.

Duriug the course of the meeting the chairman read a telegram from Mr. J. W. Hughes, of County Line, by which the electors were informed that Mr. Hughes was iu the field as an Independent candid- ate.

MONTAGUE BRIDGE.

There was a Liberal-Conservative rally at Montague Bridge—on the 26th inst. Between fifty and sixty electors pre- sent. After stirring speeches were made by Messrs Macdanald and Muttart, the following electors were appointed as a com- mittee for Montague Bridge and vicinity to work in the interests of the party of econ- omy and progress: Dunean Macdonald, Esq. Chairman; R. W. Sprague, Esq; Messrs Norman J. Macdonald, A. Lemon, James Murphy, John A. Macdonald, Peter Keith,

Ww. Tuwompson, & young employe of the Nova Scotia sugar refinery, met his death yes- y terday under very sad circumstances. He had charge of the charcoal house at the refinery, and was at work this morning as usual. About nine o'clock some one going to the charcoal house found that a large quantity of charcoal had fallen, and as Thompson could not be found the possibility of his being under the pile sucgested itself. A search resulted in the discovery of his body buried beneath the charcoal. Life was extinct. Only about ten minutes betore the discovery, Thompson had been talking to some of the refinery em- ‘ployes. The deceased was about wen years of age; And wis unmarried.— Athifyy ' Meri,

Farmer Smith Heard From.

Farmer Smith, of King’s County, called

yeoman who has given much attention public affairs. John 7'eleyruph, whose editor was brought up ona neighboring farm, had seen fit _to publish a long editorial article purporting to be a history of his (Farmer Smiths) morning adventures. began with the hour of rising and repre- sented that all the articles he touched, used or saw were heavily taxed. “Now,” said Farmer Smith, to the Sun reporter. ‘‘I don’t come here to complain of the bio-

graphy. My movements were about the same as described, except that I do not

in these winter months. shave before I make the fire and oil my boots. If 1 did I could get no hot water and could not get the tallow into the leather. It don’t matter about that, however, since | did shave, and grease - boots and make my fire. Comparing the Telegraph's statements with the tariff, as published in the A/manac, I find a great many disagreements. But | don’t come to talk of that.”

‘Well, 1 don’t care much about party poli- tics,” said Farmer Smith, leaning back in his chair and extending his legs, ‘but I know where my bread’s buttered as well as my neighbor. Being a farmer, and having @ family, I look to two things, I want a market for what I raise, and 1 want to get my sup- plies with as little trouble as possible and at the lowest price. Besides I want to find an opening for my boys. Bill is handy with his hands, has a good head on him, and likes to be among machinery. I expect to see him foreman in some factory by and by. Tom wants to farm on a big scale, and I am about buying him some sections of land in the North- west. Sam is bound to be a railway engineer, and as there is a good deal of railway building going on in the country he is all right for a chance. My other boys will get the farm when fam gone. The way things were a few years ago, Kill and Tom and Sam would have been obliged to go to the States to get situa- tions, but now | hope to get all my boys settl- ed in Canada.

‘*As to my farm staff,” Farmer Smith went on, “I find no difficulty in turning it into money. I always notice that when there is factory work going on in St. John anil Moncton, or even in the village of Sussex, there is no trouble in selling my beef, butter, eggs and garden stuff. The people in the Coldbrook rolling mills alone eat more than all the farmers in our district raise of these things. In fact the hands in the Sussex con- cerns want more than I can give them. I[ don’t care much for politics, I say, but if you politicians make laws which will -keep the factories running, my farm’s worth twice as much to me as it would be without them. |

‘But there’s nothing mean about me,’ said farmer Smith, “I get a good turn from the workshop.and I like to do them a good turn as well. When I wan't anything for the house [ don't go and ask for Yankee stuff, unless [ can get it better and cheaper, which I find is not often the case. The fact is that I never got goods so low before, whether is’s hardware, clothing, or food, and they were never before produced so near home by men who bought by farm truck.”

Farmer Smith pulled a copy of the T7é/e- graph trom his pocket and pointed to the leading article. ‘‘See here,” he said, in a half contemptuous, half angry fashion, ‘‘what this everlasting simpleton has written. ‘Far- mer Smith lit a match taxed 25 per cent,” and soon. Does the fellow think I'd send to Eng- lend for matches with Flewelling making them in my own county’ And I'm blessed if he hasn't made me pay duty on the tallow out of my own steer, and on the barn door hing» | made myself in my own shop. Here, let’s go through the list,” said Farmer Smith. And he did in this wise :

My suspenders were made in Montreal and paid no duty. You don’t use twine to hitch up your trousers with a nail when the button is off. But Connor of Portland makes twine if you want it. The buttons were made in Ontario, town of Waterloo, and the shingle nail I used came from E. R. Moore’s down at the station. They paid no duty, neither did the spade which was made by Frothingham and Workman, nor the out-door pump which was made in St. John. The one inthe house was manutfac- tured in Ontario, Instead of excavating my well with blasting powder taxed 25 per cent., 1 used Acadia powder made near Halifax and a drill made by the nearest blacksmith. The soap with which I washed my hands was made in Moncton by the man who buys my rough tallow; and the fancy soap used by my wife was madein St. John. The towel, did it pay 25 percent? The best in the world are made from linen which the French women make on the North Shore. My flannel shirts were made from Nova Scotia cloth. My best suit is from cloth made out here at Golden CGrove—where [ sell my wool. Its all non- sense to talk about my paying duty on these things, and as for my shaving brush Simms here in St. John made it, and my wife’s broom too, which this fellow says I pay 25 per cent. on. The broom handle was made in a factory within an hour’s drive of my own house.

This editor may oi] his boots with taxed oil, 1 have sense enough to use tallow. My car- pet and oil cloth are both Canadian made, and i am not the sort of man to fasten them down with taxed tacks when Foster in this town makes them. One of my stoves weie made in Sackville, the other in St. John. My boots, strong ones, ain’t they ? were not taxed, being made at Sussex, from leather tanned -at Sussex, from the hide of my own critter for anything I know. The coal in the stove came from Springhill—if Burpee and King had

ushed on the Central Railway as Wood or

urns does I'd have it from Grand Lake. Yes, there was a brick loose in the hearth —excellent brick untaxed, made over at Lee’s'in Simonds, stovepipe paid nothing, being home produc- tion. I saw my weod with a St. John saw, and split it with aSt. Johnaxe. My hay fork was made in this country, and my horse- shoes within a mile or two of the house. Do you suppose my blacksmith charges 30 per cent. duty?—no more than i charge him duty on milk, The horse nails are Pender’s work. Id be a beauty to send] to England for horse nails and Pender shipping to Australia! I admit that my buildings need paint, but I don’t propose to tax on it—for I'll try the home made thing this time. 1 sellatubof butter every year to the proprietor of the establishment. Our chairs aie not taxed. They were made near home by New Brunswick wood, and the table likewise. As for our salt and vinegar we use the King’s county article in both cases. The boys’ fur caps were made in this city. Their skates being made in our own county by Whelpiey, are not taxed. The organ my wife wants will not cost $150, nan it would have cost that mucha few years ago. We will get it from Gates, of Truro, and will not pay 537 duty. Well, tomake a long story short, my water-proof coat and my rubber boots, my whip, my sleigh (made in Sussex) didu’t pay duty at all, And the baby's cradle was made in this very city. When i am buried I shuuldn’t wonder if old Mr. Law- — et en if he’s alive, and per- ‘ hapa intead of charging me duty he'll write my f fimily y. Iniay eae my har:
