Some fifteen months ago Mr. Power, owing to ili-health, resigned his position on the railway and re- moved to Taunton, Mass., in the hope that the change of climate would prove beneficial. The change, however, did not have the de- ured effect, and a few weeks ago he left Taunton for Florida.

Sir Charles was first called upon by the chairman, and for the hour given him dwelt in his his most masterly and most convincing manner upon the wisdom of some fof the great principles embodied in the policy of the Government. Just as he appeared to be fully under way the chairman promptly to time.

The meeting is said to be the best of the kind ever held here. Better order could not have been expected nor asked for in such a meeting.

Campbell, Eaq.,of Mil- ~ en Mursene Ot and et Or LeNy Rote EXAMINER, - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Sin,-—The following extract has just been clipped from the columns of one of the leading Liberal papers of Old Canada, and | would like to ask the electors of Prince Edward Island to carefully consider of it; as the article most certainly voices the views of the Hon. Edward Blake and his Ontario followers :-— “fhe public treasury was thrown open to them, one and all, Let as sample afew of the Govern- nents ‘adventures.’ There was a scheme to carry ships overlend, some fifteen or twenty ‘niles, between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the iiay of Pandy; not an insurance company in the word would have risked a dollar on it; but the Government of Canada stands pledged to-day to furnish a bonus of several millious to it, An- other crank has a scheme for tunneling the Straits of Northumberland.—at the expense of the Canadian Government, of course, the cost to be fourer five millions; and to-day the friends of the Government in Prince Edward Island are calling on the electors to support the Government vecanse itis pledged to spend these millions on that work, Andin this way the future revenues of the country are being mortgaged to provide enormous bonuses for wild cat schemes.” Now, regarding the ship-railway; let me say that at the time of the defeat of Sir John Macdonald, and the consequent ac- cession of Alexander Mackenzie to power, arrangements were progressing most fayvor- ably for the construction of a canal to con- nect the waters of the Bay of Fundy and of the Straits of Northumberland. This work would doubtless ere this have been an accomplished fact but for the hinderances put in the way by the so called Party of Reform. The Liberal Government appoint- ed asham commission whose sole object was to kill the project, and the obstruction- ists succeeded. © Then Mr. Ketchum lau led this other scheme of a ship-railway, and obtained certain guarantees froin the Lib- eral Consenvative Government, and the work has the endorsation of eminent Engin- eers of England. For imy own part, I am free to say that I hope, when Sir John A. Macdonald receives another lease of power, as he certainly will on the 22nd of Feb- ruary next, ove of his tirst acts may be to offer substantial aid for the construction of a ship canal, such as was contemplated at the time of the Confederation of the Pro- vinees, and which, had the Liberal Conser- vatives had their way, would long since have been in practical operation to the great advantage of our people. As regards the “Subway” Scheme of the Hon, Senator Howlan,] may say that it has the cordial support of the Liberal-Conserva- tives of the Province of New Brunswick, and [ really believe of the supporters of Sir John Macdonald’s Administration throughout Canada, as well. Indeed, the whole Party of Progress rejoice to know that in Mr. Howlan we have not a **Crank,”’ but a statesman of sound common sense,and we trust that his hands may be strengthen- ed by the return of six memberz,pledged to support the preject which promises to be such an inestimable boon to the commerce and comfort of of the garden Province of our new Nationality. Hon. Baward Blake has positively stated time and again, that he opposes Dominioa aid for railways,and favors direct taxation. Surely, in view of the subsidies granted to railways in Ontario, and which now form a portion of the debt of our Dominion,.he cannot expect the imtelligent electors’ of your fair Province to elect supporters of a policy which is as selfish as it is unfair. Then, as regards the airect taxation plank of his platform, one can rejoice to feel that Mr. Blake will not have the power to ham- per the prosperity of Canada in that way for the next five years at all events. Indications are that the New Brunswick will send twelve out and out supporters of Sir John to the next Parliament, and that (uebec will send 31, Ontario 52, Manitoba 4, Northwest Territories 4, British Columbia 6, Nova Scotia 12, and Prince Edward island 4 members on the same side. This will give the Liberal-Conservative Party one hundred and twenty-five supporters, or |” majority of forty, in a House of two hundred and ten representatives. Wishing you all prosperity, and trusting that the Jubilee year may be celebrated by the commencement of your Subway, and that ere long iceboat travel may be numbered j with the things of the past.
