Taking up the Ottawa platform, Mr. Stewert pointed out thst the Liberals promised the people free trade instead of protection, aod reciprocity instead of re~ striction. Kveryone knew that these

PROMISES WERE NOT KEPT.

They also denounced the eapenditures of the Liberal~Con-ervatives and promised to lep cff several millions each vear, if they were put intocffive. But when they obtained power what did they do? Did they prac tise ecouomy and reduce expenditures ag they said they would do? Not they. Theaversge annual expenditur-s by the Liberal Coaservalives was $42,000,000 ; bat the frst yearthe Liberals were iv pow-r tvey increased it to about $43,000- 0@0. The second year the expendnure was $45,000,000. The third $51,000,000 ard tourth $53,090,000. The expendi- this year is actually $10,

WHERE DID THEY GET THE MONEY ?

They increased the tax on tobacco and other articles, and also borrowei $8,000, 000 which they added to the debt of the

country. The Liberals should have been more than generous to the people

of this proyince because of the act that for the many long years they eat in opposition the people invariably seat up representatives to Oppose the Govero~ mentoftte day. But what return do they make to the Island province for this kindness on the part of the people? Do our people get more from the Liberals than they did from the Liberal Conserva- tives ?
