The deceased was one of the most distinguished of the Confederate generals. He was of French extraction and was born at New Orleans in 1817. He graduated at West Point in 1838, and became a captain of engineers in 1853. In 1861 he was ap inted Superintendant of West Point. ut he soon resigned and was commissioved Brigadier-General by the Confedersie gov- ernment. He conducted the attack upon Fort Sumter, and commanded at Bull Run. He defended Charlestown througheut 1863, and in 1864 repelled Burler’s advance upon Petersburg, but failed to prevent Sher- man’s march to the sea “77 Weather tuiletin. Torowro, Feb. 21.—10 a. m.

My object in writing this letter is to take exception, in as plain words as I can, to the unfairness of the following paragrap in your leading artice this morning. You say: “The political history of the last decade or more will reveal to future ages one of the most disereditable periods in Island politics, snd the men who played the principal roles will stand in no enviable light. Those still on the political stage would do well to redeem the past.” Having taken some part in the public affairs of the Province during the period referred to, 1 am impelled, though not now on the “Political Stage” in justice to my- self, and the gentlemen with whom [| acted from 1879 to 1890, to place before your readers some plain facts and figures which will, I believe, satisfy every reasonable mind that these denunciations are uo deserved, and have been made without due c nsideration. When we assumed power in 1879 we found the average expenditure of the Prov- ince for the six years which had then elapeed since confederation had reached $383,569. The large balance of $268,119.- 64 cash, to the credit of the Island at the lst of January, 1874, had disappeared, ane the public accounts for the year 1878 showed a deficit of $21,448 95, while only three-quarters of the teachers’ salaries had been paid in 1878 and other large amounts belonging to the transactions of the year were either not paid, or not entered in the public sceounts until after the Ist of Jan- uary, 1879. Yer the large sum of $155,- 242 42, averaging $26,000 yearly, had been taken from the pecple in the six years in the form ot direct taxation, while the average yearly expenditure on education had only amounted to $64,729. Aud now permit me to present a few facts regarding the transactions of the welve years following 1878. The aver- age expenditure for this period was only 278 958 99. The direct taxation only ‘mounted to $88,976.35 or an average of $7,414 69 yearly. While on the other hand the expenditure on education amount- ed on an average to $103,346 68 yearly. During our twelve years we duced the general expenditure nearly $106,000 a year as comparec with the six preceding years. We reduced the taxation of the peopie by nearly $19,000 a year, and we provided for educa tion an average of nearly $40,000 a year more than had been paid for that purpose in the previous period, But | am prepared to hear you say that we did not succeed in making revenue meet expenditure in many of the years referred to, that we encroached on the capital of the Province, and are for these reasons deserv- ing ot censure. That we did not in some years succeed in making revenue and ex- penditure meet, was due to the obstruction offered by the opposition majority in the Legislative Council to our measures, and the immoral and untruthful cry of the op- position that we were starving the public works. in the matter of drawing from capital, our action has been grossly misrepresented Apart from the moneys arising from the sale of public lands, in regard to which we pursued the same course as was adopted forty years ago, and is still continued, the capital resources of the Province were largely augmented through our action, in- stead of being diminished, during the twelve years under review. It is true that in 1888 he withdrew $200,000 from capital account to pay overdrawn accounts with the banks, but it is equally true that in 1887, as the result of our most persistent efforts in presenting the claims of the Island against the Dominion, we se- cured by Dominion Statute an annual pay- ment of $20,000 per annum to Prince Ed- ward Island, which the present govern: ment is now receiving and which repre- sents a capital amount more than doubie as large as the sum we withdrew in 1888. Twenty thousand dollars per annum capitalized at 4 per cent. (the rate fixed in Peters’ Debenture Bill) represents a half million of dol- lars. Mr. Peters already knows and the public will know before long (not withstand- ing the effort which has been made to keep the knowledge from them) how the dehen- tures have been sold, and by this means the re- by value of the $20,000 yeary, which we secured for the Island can be easily computed. It cannot, however, be less than half a million After charging us with the floating debt of $128,429 21 remaining at the 3lst Decem. ber, 1890, the capital resources of the Pro- vince were better asa result of our exer- tions by about $200,000 than they were in 1879. I do not take into this account the advantages which accrued to the Province through the increase of population, as shown by the census of 1881, nor the amount received through the readjustment of the Dominion subsidy in 1883, because, although the proviice benefitted by them, they were not brought about by any effort of ours. In the sawe way | leave out of the account the sums withdrawn for payment cof proprietary estates and railway damages, as these trans actions were strictly in accordance with the terms of confederation. The governments of which I had the honor to be a member for twelve years, reduced the Provincial expenditure, as compared with their predecessors, since Confederation by $105,000 a year, or $1,200.000 for the period! They provided about $40,000 a year for education more than the amounts paid in the former years, or an excess of $480,000 for the period ! They saved the people $19,000 a year or $228,000 in taxation, and they Jeft the capital resources of the Province, through their exertions, nearly if not altogether $200,000 better than they found them, after taking into account every debt made at the banks or anywhere else during the period of twelve years. As one who took an humble part in the conduct of public affairs during the period | referred to, | confidently appeal to your! sense of justice in this matter, and expect that you will unreservedly withdraw the sweeping and unwarranted accusation as far as it relates to the members of the Sullivan and McLeod administrations. During the whole of the period under review, we incessantly pressed the provin- cial claims against the Federal Govern- Asaresult of our efforts we se- cured on various grounds for the Island in cash or capital, represented by an annuity, In these matters, too, we were frustrated by the opposition m many When we presented the pier claims we were scouted aa ‘* beggars” by the op- position Press, and every conceivable argu- ment was suggested to the Dominion au- thorities with which to resist our demand. I firmly believe that were it not for the factious course pursued by the opposition on that question, we would have received the full amount of our claim, which means that the province would be $60,000 better off in fuads, besides being relieved of 6 large annual expenditure on the piers not taken by the Dominion. fhe reduction of the annual expenditure by over $100,000 a year shows how suecessful were our efforts at retrenchinent. They would have been, as I have said, still more successful were it not for the factious conduct of the opposition who controlled the Legislative C unci!. As an illustracion of the unfair opposition which we received, I may mention the fact that in 1888, when we introduced in the assembly a measure tu regulate the expenditure on education (which had grown beyond all calculation) a prominent member of the present Govern- ment, the Hon. Mr. Sinclair arose in his place and commended our action ; but, two days later, he was whipped into line and voted with all his party against every pro- vision in the bill. Like every measure we introduced having a similar object, it was rejected by the Legislative Council, The most important provision of this bill has been recommended to the present Govern- ment by their own Superintendent of Edu- cation. I think that a little consideration will convince you that it is not at all necessary to go back ‘ta decade or more” in order to find transactions to which your remarks will have a strict application. Take for in- stance the bill passed during the last session of the Legislature for the abolitioa of the Legislative Council. That bill con- tained the following amongst other ob noxious provisions which had no connection with the abolition of the Council, but were tacked on the measure for a bad purpose : Ist. That the money lender could vote on a mortgage, thus practically disfranching the borrower, and giving a political power tothe man who !ends money which is denied to the man who invests his capital in enterprises for the good of the country. 2nd. That all men employed under the Federal Government should be deprived of any voice in making laws for the education of their children and the taxation of their property 3rd. That the management of Provincial Elections should be taken out of the hands of the Sheriffs, who are nominatyd by the Judges of the Supreme Court, and placed in the hands of nominees of the Govern- ment of the day. 4th. That four of the five constituencies of King’s County should have their boun- daries so changed as to convert Grit minori- ties in all the districts into Grit majorities in three of them. The boundaries estab- lished in the bill being so shamefully and ridiculously unfair that the majority in the Assembly were ashamed to discuss them or vote on them with open doors. 5th. That every man in Prince Edward Is- land who had not freehold property to the value of $325 00 should be deprived of all voice in the election of one-half of the Legislature, which would, neverthtless, have full power to tax him, and to expend moneys arising from Dominion subsidies as well as direct taxation, and also to pass laws affecting his religious, moral, eduestional and social interests, or in other words that he should be subject to tax- ation without representation. 6th. That the most important provisions of the Bill, which were passed in secret session, by a majority of one, and without any man- date from the people, should not be repealed except by a two-third vote of the Legislative Assembly. I would also respectfully suggest that you turao your attention to the Returns submitted to the Legislature last winter and statements since made in the press over the signature of the Provincial Auditor showing s shameful squandering of the public resources, as well as the grossest favoritism and corruption in the management of the department of Public Lands. You may also bear in mind that the present Government, who came into power denouncing the financial methods of the two previous administrations, have now been neaily two years in office with majoritiesin both branches of the Legislature, and yet they have done no- thing whatever to relieve the situatior, They have attempted nothing in the direc’ iva of ree trenchment, except the abolition of the Coun- cil, which they always oppesed when in cp- position, and which measure they swamped by monstrous ancillary provisions. They have not made the slightest effort to supplement the Revenue, except by spoliation of the Land Office. On the other hand they have, by their Debenture Act,mortgaged the Revenues of the Province for a generation, and, having ex- hausted their powers for borrowing by De- bentures, they have agaia been at werk borrowing from the Banks, and, like the Davies Government in 1878, suspending pay- ments due in October, November and ™m- ber, and carrying large amounts belonging to the year 1892 into the accounts of 1893, I am satisfied that you will rise from the enquiry to which 1 invite you, convinced that the living present and not the ** past decade ” “is a most discreditable period in Island politics,” and that ‘ the men who are playin ike principal roles stand in no enviable light.’ Iam, Yours Sincerely, D. FEerauson, Feb. 18, 1893. Another Letter from Mr. Paton. Srr,—Time does not permit me to notice all of Messrs. Prowse Bros.’ evasive ans- wers to our questions. Suffice it to say that, regarding the manner in which we acted towards “C. J. Patton, Esq.,” we leave it to the public to judge whether we treated him right or ‘‘bullied” him. Further, we would state here that Prowse Bros. haye not yet answered the question that has been put to them in our letters regarding their connection with Patton Bros.’ business, C. J. Patton's evidence in his letter of the 6th Feb. to us is not worth the p:per it is written on. Mr. Chas. Patton told a disinterested merchant in this city that he had nothingin the business; he was being paid $500 per year and a percent- age on the prefits from Messrs. Prowse Bros. Farther, that he went into Prowse Bros., after we were about taking proceedings against} WWYANTED, him, and told Prowse Pros. to “ take their business," that he would have nothing Bora more todo with it, He also stated that he was sick and tired doing the dirty work for Prowse Bros. The gentleman will ap- pend his name to the above statement if the public desire. Again, will Prowse Bros. answer the following questions: If the meeting was @ meeting of the dry goods firms of the city, why were Messrs. Perkins & Sterns, Harris & Stewart, J. B. Macdonald, A. B. Mec- Kenzie and the McKay Woolen Mills not invited? Are they all “ insignificant small folke ?’ No, no, Messrs. Prowse Bros., the meeting was not a meeting of the dry goods firms of this city, but a meeting of the Methodist merchants, called by the Rev. W. W. Brewer at our instigation. Had we not complained tothe rev. gen- tleman about your nasty personal adver- tisements and Patton Bros.’ libellous one of Dec. Ist, there would never have been a meeting of the gentleman named. Now, Mr. Ejitor, I ask in fairness to all concerned that the rev. gentleman make a public statement in your paper in my ab- sence from the Island that 1 may be vindi- cated in the above statement. James Paton. A Reader Grumbies. Sir,—IJs it not about time for our papers to give their readers a rest and save them from such rubbish as is daily served out to us from anonymous writers and those who want to air their private business troubles in full column letters ? What interesting reading we find every evening in the letters of **Anti-Buokum,” “Church Goer,” “Methedist,” or ‘*Anti- Humbug.” For such an idiot as wrote the letter signed ‘‘Fair Play” in Tue Examiner of Friday last, you should secure a room in Falconwood Hotel; and if Prowse Brothers want a whole column for their private trouble, I should not be made to pay for the room they take up. If there is nothing new going on in the world that would be worth reading about, please fill upthespace witha pagefrom Wes- ster’s Dictionary, or a chapter from some good novel. E. H. Norton.
