P. E. ISLAND CLAIMS.

Ably Presented by Mr. Martin, M. P. |

Orrawa, May 3.—The claims of Prince Edward Island were presented by Mr. Martin yesterday ir & motion for return and correspondence concerping branch railways in that province. Mr. Martin is pretty thorough in his work and when he presents a case it issureto be well work ed out in the details. He began by show ing that the late government had arranged for a fair measure of justice tothe Island by preparing a listof branch railways for which approzriations were to be made. These were lines necessary for the deve- lopment of the local and general trade connecting the main system with vorious parts inthe Province. These railways would have cost the Dominion a little over one million dollare,

Ny, Wartin re. rtted that the proposi- tion nad been criticieed in some places where better thnss might have been expected. Especially he was surprieced, aud of course not very well pleased, to | observe that in the late electiou campa Sir Louis Davies went over to Nova = aod denounced the whole programme a fn attempt to buy up the Island with rai! way subsidies. fie was reported as bay ing made the exiraordinary statem that the railways proposed would cost Jees than four und a half million doila: Afterwards when it was too late to do 2: good Sir Lou‘ehed written a co

Oo this dasie the total am would be accord ng to Mr. M art ’ | five million d.Jlore. But as the populas | tion of Ottawa is only 50,000 it would ap- pear that Senator Scott had raised the ap- propriation to $250 a head or say twelv asd a half million dollars altogether. The gross niisrepretentation of a modest ap

Mr. Martin reerets that the Toronto Mail, otherwise an able jour- nal, has failes into the mistake of sup- posing thet Prince Edward Island Rail- ways euch as they are’ have all been pro-~ vided at Dominion expense and chiefly a: the expense of Ontario, The Prince Edward [sland member does not accept the theory that Oatario is the milch c of the Dominion. It seems to him that Ontario gets back fromthe revenue in proportion to what she paya very much more than Prince Edward Island. He would rather say that Ontario was the stont Durham calf growing fat from the milk of the little jersey cow which repre- Prince Edward Island. Then be goes on with his proofs,

Now, Prince Edward Island receivec; in w'l during that period only $635,000 or 5 per lad,

While the distribution was made from the Dominion, the other provinces coatri~ buted Ont of their ow. money the fuol- lowing rate; Ootario a little over $8 per bead, Quebec $9, New Brunswick $14 Nova Scotia $6, Manitoba $9, British Columtia 76 cente,the North West Terri- tories 25 cent*, while Princ? Edward I- land with a josal expenditure of $28 82jper head. Thus accurditg to Mr. Martin’s caleulation, this province has received from the Dominion cnly abcat one quarter as muct per head as the avee- rage Of the Domision and has contributed from the Provincial trea-ury nearly twice asmuch as the average paid by the other provinces out of their own re-
