“Keep the Country out of Debt.”

Tae Grit organ sets up avew claim for the Grit party in local politics, If they had the reins, they would **keep the | country ut of debt. All must admit that this wonld be a very good thing to

do. but we have no guarantee that they would accomplish it save the ipse dixtt of the Patriot. If Grit politicians can keep the country out of debt why | did they not do so when they were ip power before? It was when Messrs. David Laird, Peter Siuclair, J. R. col Lean and Heury Beer, were in the Gov- eroment. that first heard of the | ‘“dashaway. policy.” ‘Levy taxation, | run the country iu debt, and blame Pope |

But let glance at Grit | mauagement at later dates. During the two years of the Davies administration. | over $97,000 was collected by direct taxation, about $133 000 from the Land | Office, while ouly $145 000 was paid for | Education, aad still at tne close «f 1878 there was av admitted deficit of $22,000 with unpaid accounts amounting to $52,- 000 more!! At the present time the | receipts at the Land Office are $15,000 | ayeur less thau when Davies was io power, aud the of education is $25,000 a year greater than it then was. The question for the Grits to avawer is, “If, when the

land receipts were so |

large, and the taxes so high, and the | cost of education so low, you could wot |

: | keep the country out of debt, how are

you going to accomplish it now, when all these things are changed?

There are ouly three methods kuown to us by which the Province can be kept out of debt.

Ist. by retrenchment and economy.

2od. By collecting debts due the Gov- eroment, whether by our own people or by the Dominion Government.

3rd. By direct taxation.

If the Grits were in power what posi- tion would they be io to keep the Pro- vince in a good finaacial position? They dare not talk of retreachmert or economy. They have denounced measures of this kiod for the last five years. They have, for political purposes, raised & grossly immoral cry for uvnecessary expenditures on public works. How could they refuse demands for such ex- penditures if they were in the Govern- ment to-morrow? They have denounced the reduction of salaries effected by the present Government as ‘‘starvation.” Who will doubt that they would, if they had the opportunity, raise their own and their friends’ salaries to the old figures? Increasing the salaries of officials and the expenditures on public works are not very likely means of keeping down the public debt. This is, nevertheless, part of the policy to which the Grits are com- mitted, and which they would carry out if they obtained power.

But bad as would be their position with regard to economical administration, it would be still worse if they talked of cvllecting debts due the Province. They have denounced the present Government for collecting arrears due the Land Office. What position would they be io with re- gard tothe Land Office? The tenants must be dull scholars if they would uot take Laird, Perry, Farquharson and others at their word. The political im- morality of the attacks on the present Goverument, for collecting debts due the public, would ‘come boeme to roost.” The Grits have “sowed to the wiad.” and they would “reap to the whirlwind.”

Their case would be no better with regard to the pressivg of our claims against the Domiuion. They have ridi- euled our claim regarding the Piers. The mission of Messrs. Sullivan, Ferguson aud Prowse to Ottawa last year they described as a “begging delega- tion.” If they were to obtain power with this question unsettled. what posi- tion would they be in to urge it? Then in refereace to the fiulfilment of the terms of Union and compensation to Priuce Edward Island for the delay which has taken place in carrying ont these terms, what is the position of the Grit Party?

Have they uot contended that the “Northern Light” has done all that reasovable people should ask for? They

have defended Mr. McKenzie, who de clared, betore the Capes Branches were undertaken, “ We have done very well for the Islaud, and carried out the 7’ rms of Union to the utmost possible extent.”

A Grit Local Administration would be forced (even if they did not desire it) into extravagant expenditures by their declarations in opposition. The Land Office would cease to yield them a revenue, and they would vot be able to go to the Dominion for a fulfilment of the Terms of Union, having already giveu away their case. Taxation and taxation alone would

the. means available to a Grit Administration for keeping the Island out of debt. Does Mr. Duncan Me- Millan or the Patriot know of any other resource to which the Grit Party could resort for keepiog the Island out of debt cousistent with their declarations in Opposition ?

itis very different with the Liberal- Conservative Party. They have stood faithfully by their retreuckment policy for tive years, aud are prepared to stunt

Unscrupulous.

Ow Tuesday last a rumor was in cir- culation in Charlottetown to the effect that the corpse of a patient in the Hospi-

tal for the Insane had remaioed un- buried over a night in Sherwood

selieving the rumor to be well founded, THe Examiner, as well as the Patriot, gave currency to it. following day, however, we were shown by the most convincing evidence that the report was untrue, and we according- ly made a correction, and suppressed the origival item in our weekly issue. Mr. Heouessy, the undertaker, waited on the editor of the Patriot on the afternoon of Wednesday, and showed him the proof that Acorn was buried on the same after- noon he was brought to the cemetery, and that the little delay which occurred was occasioned by another funeral taking place at the same time. The Hon. David Laird knowing that the rumor was

False yet published it in the Weekly Patriot

coupled with a political attack upon the Ciovernment. Ouve of the consequences of the Patriot's disgraceful action was to wound the feelings of the deceased's relatives living at Dundas, and cause them a journey to Charlottetewn to asce!tain the truth. The unscrupulous editor cares little for this. If he has gained a vote in Belfast for the party of slander his object has been attsined. —_—-- —--—_-_ we A Change.

Some years ago it was remarked that the Island’s representatives in the Com- mous had nothing to say; now the com- plaint is that they say too much. We quote the following, with reference to the discussion about steamboat inspec- tion, from the Toronto News. It is a lively but not o'er truthful sketch :-—

This was one of Prince Edward Island's tield days in the House

Whenever any question concerning that diminutivs Province comes up, every one of its representatives feel bound to speak on it.

There are only six of them, but they-try to make up in noise what they lack in numbers,

The trouble on this occasion was the Island’s standing grievance—communication, or rather want of communication. with the Mainland.

It seems that the Government Inspector refused to grant certificates to the mail steam- ers which ply between the Island and the Mainland, on the .round that they were not securely «quipped,

Mr. Davies claimed that the inspection had not heen properly made, and that an injustice had been dose to the Island.

Melotyre said ditto. and that the Gvern- ment ought to be ashamed of itself.

Yeo said ditto, ditto.

MeDonali said ditto, only the Government weren't to blame.

Hackett said ditto, ditto.

Brecken said nothing.

And, according to the News, showed his goud sense. It must be confessed that the iuterests of a cause or a Pro- vince may be injured in Parliament by having too much said about it. In the House of Commons, particularly, there is a time to keep silence as well as a time to speak. The useful representative is he who knows just when to speak and when to keep silence,

What about Belle Creek ?

Tue people of Belle Creek and sur- rounding settlements would do well to ask Mr. Dunean MeMillan and the cypher who misrepresents the Belfast District, why they are workivug so hard to deprive the people of Belle Creek of packet eecommodation with Charlotte- town. It the Goverumeut had left Belle Creek out in the cold, as Mr. I). C. Martin wished them to do, Mr. Duncan McMillan would still be a faithful Con- servative. If the trifling accommodation which Belle Creek asked for could not be gravted without depriving Wood Islauds of the facilities formerly enjoyed by that place, or withont additional cost to the public, there might be some groucd for opposing the arrangement. But we are told that Captain Bears has made regular trips for the last two seasons, avd aceommodated Wood Islands as well as heretofore. Everyone is satisfied except Mr. Duncan MeMillan and bis brother, Captain Neil McMillan. But, we ask, are the ioteresis of a large settlement like Belle Creek, and a place 80 badly off for shipping facilities, to be sacriticed to the private interests of the

owuers of a schooner in Wovtl Islands?

_—----—

Orrawa, Jan. 31.

What the Canada Pacitic Railway Com- pany have accomplished was shown ln a former letter; and readers of ‘Tne Ex M- INER will have learned by the telegraph what financial aid they reqnire in order that their work may be satis:actorijy com-

leted.

That the Company have been imprudent it is useless to deny. Not, as some per- sons declare, that they prosecuted the con- tract work on the main line too \igorously. Their error did notand could not consist in the rapid promotion of the work they had set themseives to do. It consisted, rather, in the purchase of extensions of the rail way to Montreal, in the purchase of branches and steamers and costly equip- ments beyond and apart from the rmquire- ments of their contract. Inu fact they acted as though there was no limit to their capital, when they knew that they must trust to a fluctuating stock market -~in which they had scores cf powerful competitors and enemies-—ior the cash they would require to meet their engaye- ments with ths Government of Canada. But it is easy to be wise after the event; and in dealing practically with the matter as it now stands, we mist remember that that which has been done cannot be undone. How is the difficulty consequent upon their imprudence to be met and overcome! That is the question.

Having fa:led to sell their stuck on terme sufficiently advantageous, the Company were compelled to appcal to the Govern- ment for a loan of the money they required for the vigorous and rapid prosecution of the yreat work. What should, what could, the Government do under the circum- stances! The work they are performing is one which the Government is bound to see completed; and it is highly important that it should be completed as soon as pos- sible. The faith of Oanada is pledged to the construction « f the Canada Pacific Rail- way, and the interesis of Cangda ate in- volved in its construction before the North- ern Pacitic Railway shall have optained contrul of the traftic of the Northwest,

only $1.00 an aere, the Government, in alove, will bave security for $21,244,295.

cars, sam rs, efe., it is a fact which cai ‘be established, that the Company have laid out in the constrnetion and these things, no less a sui than $44,186,247; ‘and making the most ample allowance for fi | de preciation | Clemt security, | from

Suppose then, that the Company failed to complete the work,—the Government would, of course, be compelled to carry it out; and, in doing so, to expend all the

nopey required for that purpose, Is it at all ‘ikely that the cost would be lees to the Government than to the company! Everyone will admit that it is not likely. Congegnently, the oulay of the Government, jf they

resumed the work, would be, at least, as!

great as the amount of the loan required by

the company: and the work being again|

under the control of the Ministry, the door would again, to use the language of the Grits, ‘‘be opened wide to corruption and jobbery.” And why not loan the company the money they require? If precaution be taken that it shall be expended only on the

work, and if they give security in all their

valuable property, on their lands, rolling stock, steagere, yoad bed and all their equipments, would jt not, in the intrests of the country, be as wezl— pay hectter—to grant them the aid they require /

The Government have, evidently, thought that it would. They have, at al] events, agreed to loan them the amounts they mey, from time to time, as the work progresses, require, These amounts are, in addition to the $7,380,912 already loaned them, in no case to excved in the aygregate the sum of $22,500,005,

For the amounis ther, from time to time, receive from the Goverpment, the Company are to pay interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, Bat unless some untoward event, such as a change

the meney can be obtained by the Gov- ernment on ¢he credit of Canada, on pay- ment of interest at the rate 4 or 4} per ccnt.; and so a profit of from oye to three quarters per cent. of the amount joaned will be aunually made by the Government on the transaction.

Bat where and what is the security which tle Government have received? This is a mostimportant point. Well, the Govern- ment have stipulated that they shall “have the first lien aud charge upon the entire property of ¢he company, real and per. sunal, now owned or hereafter to be acquired or owned by ihem, including their main line of railway, the extensions thereof, their branch lines of railway, the whole of their equipment, rolling stock and plant, and including all steamers and veasels, and also upon the land grant of the company, earned and to be hereafter earned, saving always, however, the rights of the lolders of the mortgages existing in respect to the extension of the line of the railway from Callandz to Brockville and Montreal, as security for the unpaid balance of the purchase money, and copgtituting the said extension subject to the mortgage on the land grant executed by the company to secure the iesue of their land grant bond; that the Goveroment shall continue to hold and retain the entire of land grant bonds now in its custecy or possession, subject to redemp- tion under the terms of the said land grant morigageand thatailrem d es as to interest, voting power and all other matters in respect thereof, which would be hgld or possessed or be exercised by any purchasey of the giid bonds.”

But, again, what are these railways, steamers, ete , worth? Of the lands already earned by the Company, there are still in their pr ssession, unsold and unencumbered,

about 10,000,000 acres; and of the unearned

lands t» whieh the Company are, under the terms of their charter, still entitled, there remaiu 11,244,295 acres—ia a}l 21,244,205 acres. The average price at which the Company have sold their lands is $2.36 per acre; and only a few days ago the Opposi- tion attempted to fasten upon the Govern- ment a charge of having sold below its!

value a farm for which they received $3.00 an acre. Bat,

Well, what further security is needed ! Security that after the present habilities of of the company are met the money loaned shall be applied to the purpose of complet- ing the railway. I: is provided in the agreement that,—-‘‘as part of the said loan the Governunwnt may pay to the Company forthwith such anount, not exceeding Seven Miliion Five Hundred Theusand Dollars, ($7,500 000) as shal ber quired by the Comyy ny to +xtingnish its present floating debt: the amount of such debt te be established to the satixfeetion of the Goveroment: and that the remainder of the said loan shall be paid to the Company as the work of eoustruction preceeds,im the same pro portion as that which is hereby provided for the payment of the balance of the money subsidy.”

And payment of the balaree of the money subsidy is to be made ‘‘es the work on either the Central or Eastern Section of the Railway proceeds, in the proportion which the value of the work dove on such section, and for which payment is demand- ed, bears to the value of the whole work now remaining to be dene under the con- tract on such seetion.” ;

In an ordinary business transaction, se- curity such as this would be looked upon as sufficient. But suppose the company should forfeit it, by default in the payment, half-yearly, of the interest of the loan, or by detai lt in the payment of the prin- cipal on or before the date on which it is due—what then! Then the whole prop- erty—land, steck and equipments-—wiil re- vert to the Governmen, and will have cost the Government as follows:—

The Opposiuén wail, of course, oppose the giving of Legisla ive eff: ct to the agreement; for consistency is ne part of their plan. But they willbe met at almost every point by their own acts and declarations. There is, Inveed, but one ground they can take with the slightest hope cf making an im- pression upen the country. It is this: The revenue, last year, decreased, while the expenditure increased and must, as the country develops, continue to increase; and would it be wise, under such circumstances, to attempt to raise the money required by the company, in order that they may as vigorously éontinue their work gs t ey have hitherto ca:pied it forward? Weil, the Government have decided to take the risk. We shall see when the question ja discuss ed, how the Government justify their action. -

THE DOMINION EXHIBITION,

The Isiand Members and Senators waited upon the Minister of Avriculture yesterday and urged the strong claims of the Island Province to the Dominion Exhibition grant. The Minigter promised to lay the matter before his colleagues in the Government. The Members and Senators will present a aemarigl formally setting forth the claims referred to; and the Hon, Mr, Haychorne bas given notice that he wlil ask the Leader of the Governmeut in the Senate whether or not the Government have received the resolut ons and the memorial passed at ‘‘the Exhibition meeting” recently held in Char- lottetown,

OVERNMENT ADVERTIZING,

The report of the Sgeretary of State shows that the Government have not attempted to corrupt the Priss~—of the Maritime Pro- vinces at least—by a very generous extension of advertizing patronage. The amounts received by the newspapers last year were:
