TION.

The Toronto Mail, addressing the eiec- tors of Bothwell, brings out some points of which it would be well for the electors of Queen’s County to make a note.

The Reformers of Bothwell, is says, con- demned Coalitions. Are they willing to vote for the Mackenzie-Cauchon Coalition 2

‘They condemned the excessive number of Cabinet Ministex» end their excessive salaries under Sir John Macdonald, Do they approve of the same number of Min- isters and the same salaries under Mr. Mackenzie ? ‘

They condemned the violation of the In- dependence of Parliament Act in the case of Col. Gray, who, while a private member of the House, was employed and paid for his services by the Government. Do they approve of the Speaker of the Commons under Mr. Mackenzie being paid double his salary in the shape of printing contracts, or of two members sharing a $10,000 prints ing contract between them?

They condemned the extravagance in the Ottawa Department. Are they pleased with the result of our very careful compil- ation, which is, that since 1873 the salaries have been increased by $80,000, or would they rather take the exhibit of the Mons treal Herald that the increase is $95,00), and defend it?

They condemned the Civil Service sys~ tem under the late Government. Are they ‘prepared to see it ‘reformed ’ in this way, for instance:

Annual Salary. E.B. Wood, M.P., Manitoba Bench $ 5,000

E. V. Bodwell,M.P., Welland Canal = 6 U0O A.A. Dorion, M.P., Quebec Bench = 6,000 W. H. Ross, M. P., Collector of

A. McKellar, M. P.P., Wentworth Shrievality sik 5,000

Shrievalty Total $6,000 They condemned as extravagant the cost of Civil Government under the late Ministry. Are they willing to defend the following statement of the cost under.

Mr. Mackenziz ?

1873 (Public Accounts, p. 70) $750,874 1874 (Public Accounts, p. 77) 883,685 1875 (Public Accounts, p. 86) 909,265

They had a fixed idea that their leaders were the only pure men in the country. Have they read the Big Push letter; watched the Gazette returns of the gigan- tic government deposits paying no interest to the Treasury with which Hon, John Simpson’s bank has been favoured ; read the reports of the election ‘trials; studied the brilliant sophistry of ‘Come along Juon, come and let us put down bribery aud corruption, we've lots of muney;” con- sidered the propriety of the Premier inves- ting $2,500,000 a large portion of it through his brother’s firm in steel rails without hav~ ing first obtained the consent of Parlia- ment; and read up the (obe’s history of M. Cavcnon? And, if so, are they satis- fied still that their leaders are very highs minded patriots?

They wanted Reform. [lave they got it? Does it approach their - expectations ? Have their leaders carried out their pledges? Have they shown their capacity to alleviate a national crisis like the panic which came in with them, and is increasing in intensity? Is Reform as practiced since 1873 the beautiful compound of genius, in- tegrity, and progress that was preached prior to that time?

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND NOP ENTITLED 0 « REPRESENTATION IY THE CABINET *°

‘Opposition our only Hope.

Pope and Represeatation in ihe Cabinet ferever.

[from the Toronto Daily Globe, Nov. 6.)

| * The implication from Mr, Pope’s state- | ment is that Prince Edward Island has a | vested interest in the seat Mr. Laird has vacated, an allegation which is entirely in. correct. Nothing short of an amendment | tothe B. N. A. Act, and that too in defi- |ance of all constitutional practice could have effected any such stipulation,

“ No Premier can claim to dictate to the Sovereign or her representative who shall be her or his adviser. The free choice of his councillors is the absolute right of the Governor General, and no alleged agreex ment, pledge, or understanding would have any force in the face of that well under- stood principle. But there was no such agreement as Mr. Pope asserts, still, he would have it supposed that the ‘ numbers, wealth, and intelligence of Prince Edward Island ’ entitle her to a Minister, and that

& wrong has been dana by Ontaria -~--*-~*" ing what Prince Edward has lost. Giving

Prince Edward Island all the credit for the ‘wealth and intelligence’ of her popula. tion, if numbers are to be regarded as the criteriton Mr, Pope’s plea will fail. There are thirteen Cabinet Ministers‘ and- Prince Edward Island contains only one-fortieth of the whole population of Canada. Ontario has usually had five out of the thir- teen Ministers chosen from her repres sentatives, and her population is nearly Or quite two millions,or at the rate of about four times the number to each Minister that Prince Edward Island, according to Mr. Pope, would claim. When, on the formation of the present Govern» ment, Mr. McKenzie advised His Excels lency to make Mr. Laiad a Privy Councillor, no one in Ontario complained. On the contrary, this tribute to the ability of a leading public man from the new Province was hailed with general satisfaction, but the arrangement was never conceded as a right or bargain. Mr, Laird having received another very honorable appointment, the right of the Governor General to call a member from Ontario to fill his place is unquestionable and Mr. Mills has been chosen, not because Ontario insists upon having five representatives in the Cab.net, but because Mr. Mills isan able man, well versed in public affairs, a hard worker, and able to do good service both in the business of administration nnd legislation. Nor do We see that Prince Edward loses anything by her members being free from the cons nection, the fact of one of them holding a portfolio establishes.

‘There may even be occasions when one of them being clothed with official respon. sibility, acts rather as a restraint than otherwise, If any local interests haye to be pressed or guarded at Ottawa six gentle- men acting in harmony are pretty sure to get justice. If any body in Prince Edward Island sympathizes with Mr, Pope it is pro- bably from a sensitiveness more likely to prevade small communities than large ones, but which has no foundation in any real grievance or injury.”

GRAIN TRADE,

The Grain trade of the West is something enormous, The two principal depots on the Great Lakes are Chicago and Mil- waukee, These cities, with Duluth, Toles do, Detroit, and Cleveland, handled in 1874, 173,103,195 bushels, and in 1875 150,« 067,583 bushels, a falling oft in the latter exceeding 20,000,000 bushels. Up to 1874 Milwaukee did a larger business than Chicago, now the figures show that there is little difference in the quantity of business done by each. Montreal and Os3- wego are the two great ports of shipment on the St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario ; but Montreal carries off the palm in this ims portant trade, This is no doubt largely owing to the exertions made by Canadian Government to make Canadian waters the channel to the, sea for the grain trade of the West. The extent and importance of this business may be estimated by the following statement of the quantity of grain handled respectively by the merchants of Montreal and Oswego since 1872 :—

MONTREAL, OSWEGO, Bush. Bush. 1872 7,547,503 9 224.979 1873 19.813 036 8,547,720 1874 17,494,981 13,002,879 1876 17,134,177 8,414,529

It is expected that the improvements being made in the Welland Canal will still turther attract Western trade to Mon~ treal.

A number of the officers of the whalers, before reported abandoned, arrived at New Bedford last Wednesday. They think there is little hope for either ships or men left in the Arctic. Up to the time of the fleet be ing surrounded by the ice, plenty of whales were seen, and the prospect was that the best average of oil and bone ever taken would be secured. The men left in the Arctic were mostly Kanakas and Germans, there being buta very few Americans, boy-, who were induced by the others to stay. The only officer left was Mr. Williams, fourth mate of barque Desmond, of Hono- lula, whose entire crew, of twentysthree men, are Kanakas, One sick man, unable to hear the trip across the ice, was left on the Camilla. Several died from exposure and hardship on the way out of the Arctic. Some of the men would not leave because they had got a taste of liquor, procured while getting out provisions for the jour- ney over the ice. The natives boarded the Clara Bell before the crew leit her, and be- gan tostrip her. Itis stated that six men belonging to the fleet perished on the ice previous to the abandonment of the fleet, and that fifty~three men were left with the ships.

, evening of the 6th instant. J.M. Robin- | son, Eeq, was unanimously elected to the | | Chair, and the undersigned to act as Secres |

, tary. The Chairman, after briefly stating | the object of the meeting, called to the | by Mr. M

Hon, J. C. Pope to address the electors | present,

Mr. Pope, on coming forward, stated | that he had been requested by several of | his friends to offer as a candidate for the vacant seat in the Dominion House of Com~ | mons, and was now fairly in the field, His | views on the Schoe! Question had been | misrepresented. He explained his school | poliey, and showed that that question had nothing to do with Dominion politics, In Charlottetown where he was recently de-~ : feated, he would now hays a majority of at least 600, a fact which was freely admitted admitted by his opponents. [le stated that there was no stronger supporter of Free Trade than he was; that the Protection cry was now raised to blindfold the people; that the strongest protectionists were to be found in the ranks of the McKenzie Party; and that Mr. Mckenzie had recently used his influence to secure the return to Parlia. ment of one of the strongest protectionists in the Dominion. He (Mr. Pope) felt proud of the Railroad. Would not show a factious opposition to any party, but would endea~ your to secure for the people of this Pro- vince every right to which they were en- titled. Mr. Pope gota patient hearing, and at the concluson of his speech, the applause of the meeting.

Hon, J. Callbeck, Esq., one of the late representatives of the district, said he did not come to represent Mr, Welsh. He justified his own conduct in the local House.

Relieved it to be our interest to support the Mackenzie party, but he had not given

the matter serious consideration. He would introduce Mr. Warburton, who came here to represent Mr. Welsh at the meet~ ing.

Sylvester Dorion, Esq., replied in his usual able and forcible style.

Mr. Warburton, a young gentleman from Charlottetown, said he did not come to re- present Mr, Welsh, but to show why he was absent. A meeting had been called, in the city and Mr. Welsh was attending it. He then proceeded to give his views on the questions of the day, denounced the railway in high terms, and waxed eloquent in showing what Protection meant. It would enrich the manufacturers of Ontario, and we would have to pay more for fishing lines, etc. A telegram had been received, stating that if Queen’s County now return- ed a good man he would get a seat in the Cabinet, as none of our present representa. tives were fit.

P. R. Bowers, Esq., was next called on and replied to Mr. Warburton at consider- able length, He showed that the Island Railway cost only $15,000 a mile whilst the same class of Railway in other countries cost $20,000 a mile, It came with a bad grace from a supporter of a party that gave $1,000 a mile more for the branches than was paid for the main trunk to denounce the character of the Island Railway ;—more especially when they awarded the building of the branches to the same Contractors, and kept the same engineer, Mr. Boyd, in their employ. He also referred to Mr. Nwinyard’s attempt to mulct the people of this Island of $104,000 to make good cers tain portions of the Railway contract said not to be fulfilled; and stated that were it not for the exertions of Mr. Owen’s Ad- ministration who got Mr. Shanley to report upon the matters in dispute—the law agent of the Dominion would have succeeds ed in helping Mr. Swinyard to fleece this Island out of about $100,000. Mr. Bowers next proved the absurdity of the assertion that Mr. Geoffrion’s seat had been, or would be, offered to this Island, It belong. ed of right to Quebec. The Grit Party of that Province were consulting as to whom the seat should be given; and it was there: fore a shameful piece of deception to repre- sent that Mr. Mackenzie had stated that the vacant seat would be given to a P. E, Islander. He referred to the question at issue in the canvass and cuntrasted the merits of the two candidates, and said Mr, Pope should receive the support of Queen's County if for no other reason than, accord~ ing to the admission of Mr. Davies at Pow- val, he secured the boon of $25,500 better terms on our entrance into Confederation. Mr. Bowers carried the electors present with him during his speech, and was fre~ quently applauded.

Donald McKay, E:q., reminded the young men of the insidious attempt of the Mac~ kenzie Party to deprive them of the privi- lege of voting, and showed that they would have been deprived of it were it not that the bill was ably met in the Senate by men who were placed there as guardians of our rights and iiberties by Sir John.

William Laird and David Mutch, Esquires spoke in favour of Mr. Welsh, and the Mac~ kenzie Party. Angus Gregor, Thomas Doyle, Donald McKenzie, and Robert Ste~ venson, Esquires, in favor of Mr. Pope.

Mr. Pope again made a few remarks. He believed the statements of Mr, War- burton with regard to a telegram, Xc., were false, and challenged that gentleman for the proof. It was a gross insult to the peo- ple of Prince Edward Island to say that none of their representatives were fit for a seat in the Cabinet. Where was the Hon. Peter Sinclair and others? He would not speak disparsgingly of Mr. Welsh, but thought that any of these were as {it to rer present the Island in the Cabinet as he.

On motion of D. McKay, Esq7., seconded by Mr. James Power a division took place wher. [15] fifteen stood up for Mr, Welsh. The chairman and several others declared there were about [500] five hundred elec- tors present. A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman Three cheers were pro-~ posed for the Queen, three for Messr-

ponded to.

Ordered that the proceedings of the

meeting ,be published in the city papers. J. R. McINNIS, Sec’y.

| m4 2 , . Let it be remembered

That the way Free Trade is supported | by the McKenzie party [whose policy meets | with Mr. Welsh’s ‘

ae

cordial approval ’’} is

icKenzie us’ng all the influence | of the Government to secure the return of Thomas Workman the Leader of the Pros

| tectionists in Canada,

| Let it be remembered —

That the way Free Trade is supported by the McKenzie party [whose policy meets with Mr, Welsh’s © cordial approval’’} is | by taking away a representative from the | Free Trade Maritime Provinces, and giving it to Ontario, tne home of the Protectionists.

Let it be ren

That the wey the McKenzie party | [whose policy meets Mr, Welsh’s “ cordial approval") support Free Trade is by manis | pulating the sugar duties, so as to leave the | American reliners without a rival, and so ; largely to raise the price of sugar,

Lei i/ be) emembered—

That the way the McKenzie party {whose policy meets with Mr, Welsh’s ‘cordial approval “) fulfils its engagement to give us a winter boat is by sending the old condemned wood-barge A lbert, and none other, for three years,

Let it be remembered

That the way the McKenzie party [whose policy meets with Mr. Welsh’s “cordial approval ”’] does justice to Prince Edward Isiand is by taking away its ore seat in the Cabinet and giving it to Ontario. Let it be remembered—

That the way the McKenzie party (of honesty! !) (whose policy meets with Mr. Welsh’s *‘ cordial approval”) ‘elevate the standard,” 1s fulfilling the bargain George Brown made in the * Big Push” letter, and depositing one millionand a half of dollars of the people’s money in Simpson’s Bank, six hundred thousand dollars not bearing tna terest. Thus losing to the country Thirty thousand dollars @ year !

Let it be rememberea—

That the way the McKenzie party (whose policy meets with Mr. Welsh’s cor- dial approval’) save the money of the country is by wasting seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars in steel rails before they are wanted, in orderto benefit Mr. Charles McKenzie.

Let it be remembered—-

That the way the McKenzie party (whose policy meets with Mr. Welsh’s ** cordial approval’) respect the law, is, after passing an act against bribery, then to bribe to such an extent that the Judges had to turn routy of them out of parlia- ment,

Let it be remembered—

That the way the McKenzie party {whose policy meets with Mr. Welsh’s ‘cordial approval’) regards the rights of Prince Edward Island is by virtually robs bing the people of the benefits of their Railway by a high tariff and gross mismans agement.

Let it be remenheared ~

That the McKenzie party (whose policy meets with Mr. Welsh’s “cordial approvs al’’} basely attempted to robof their votes, one half of the electors of Prince Edward Island whose intelligence and integrity they feared.

Lef it be remembered—

That by returning Mr. Welsh to “ cors dial support’ the McKenzie Government, the people will be held—

To approve those misdeeds of the past, To submit temely to be stripped of their rights ;

To invite further and greater injustice for the future,

ANOTHER LOAN.

As regularly as the year comes around, Mr. Cartwright betakes himself to London for more money. He is on his third mis-~ sion of thiskind. He now wants twelve millions and a half of dollars. We had supposed, from Mr. Cartwiight’s own showing last session, and from the large balances which he had on hand nine months ago, both here and in Epgland, that he might easily tide us over one year with~ out putting to the test Canada’s capacity as a borrower. But then it is easier to make another loan than to ask favored bank presidents in Canada to reduce their des posits, or to adopt sucha trade policy as would keep the revenue of the country up toa point which would make this yearly borrowing unnecessary. Of the merits of the loan we can say nothing, on the strength of such data as are now before us - but it is pleasing to have the assurance from his organ that it has no doubt ‘the sound judgment which characterized Mr. Carts wright’s proceedings in the management of past loans will mark his further transac. tions, and that he will be found to have executed his commission with credit to himself and advantage to the country,’— Toronto Mail.
