W W ceived on coming forward to propose the nomination of Dr. Jenkins as the Liberal Conservative candidate for the representa- tion of Commons Dr. Jenkins is, he said, very well known. On many occa sions he has gone into the breach for the Liberal-Conservative party. He is highly reyarded as aman of energy, pluck, and ability; and there can be no doubt that he will well and truly represent the citizens of Charlottetown and the people of Queen's County in the House of Commons. The Doetor is a man who will think for himself, and do what he thinks right for his con- stituents, and for the country in general (Applause. ) 4 CONTRAST DRAWN, There is no good reason why the people | of Queen's County should at the present auncture withdraw their support from the fovernment of Sir John MacDonald. When that Government came into powe) in 1878, the business of the country was heavily depressed, and a great number of sur business men were in a state of bank- ruptey. Atthe general election in which they were victorions, they submitted the National policy to the people, and that policy was very large majority at the last general election in 1882. We have a right, therefore, .to assume tha it meets with the approval o° the whole of Canada. But, say our opponents, what has the National Policy done for P. E. Island ? Before it was introduced, trade was de- moralized. There was nothing doing in the workshops. Laboring men had no employment. We had hardly a factory within the bounds of Char lettetown. Everything languished. But now the state of affairs ia very different. Several factories have been established; labor is in request; and trade is flourishing. At the same time, it costs less to live than it did when Mr. Mac kenzie was in power. But there is another question of import- ance which has been much discussed at Ottawa and throughout the country. The terzns under which British Columbia entered the Confederation provided for the con- struction of the J ( eu i rsed by a CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY. We all know how utterly Mr. Mackenzie failed in his various attempts to grapple wit that great question. The present government came into power with a sinc:re desire to carry out the pledge mace to British Columbia, and they wer: successful in making a contract for ‘hat purpose. This contract was bitter- ly o posed by the Opposition; and owing to the -fforts of the Toronto Globe and other organs of the party, the contractors could not seenre all the money that was necessary to finish the work. They accordingly asked the Government to guarantee their stock. The Government did so. Bat still they were unable to obtain the money they re- quired. The result was that they had to come to the Government asking a loan. The Government gave them a loan, and took ample security, in their lands and other property, for its repayment. The contrac- tors had expended $36,000,000 on their work; and they had still remaining unsold 21,000,000 acres of land. All this immense property they handed over to the Govern- ment as securi’y for the payment of a loan amounting to $22,500,000! But, it is said, the contractors may fail to fulfill their engagements to the Government. Well, suppose they do. The Government will only have to take pos- session of the road; and it will in that case, have cost about $84,000,000, or, $40,000,- 000 less than the amount of a previous estimate Moreover the road is to be completed by the year 1866. Intwo years from this time, you will be able to travel from one end of Canada to the other, on a Canadian Railway. (Applause. ) CAPE TRAVERSE RAILWAY. The Government are now constructing a line of railway from Cape Traverse to County Line. We all know how the pre- sent Opposition opposed that railway. Mr. McKenzie even went so far as to say . ‘*we have done very well by Prince Edward Island. We have carried out the Terms of Confederation to the very utmost extent.” The people of this Island are, therefore, in- debted to the present Goverament alone for the Cape Traverse Railway, and for a prac- tical ssheme by which the forms of "nion will as far as ~ossible, be fulfilied. Sx farce: this laland is concerned, I think no grea; injustice has beeu allowed to remain unremedied. The present Local Govern- ment called the attention of Sir John Mace- donald to our piers and wharves. As soon as they did so, the Government considered the question, and, asa result, a very large proportion of them are to be maintained at | the expense of the country at large ; and the day is not far distant when all these works will be under the control of the Dominion Government. OTHER QUESTIONS. The Opposition have talked a great deal about what Mr. Davies did to obtain for this Province a share of the Fishery Award. They should be ashamed to mention that question; for to Mr. Davies, more than any oth + man, we are indebted for the less of tha: money. Then there is the question of RECTPROCITY. I: is one which appeals to the people of P. E, Island, as no other question does, We know how the people prospered under the old reciprocity treaty; and we are all aux'ous that a new treaty should be made, providing for, reciprocial trade between Canxda and the United States. The pre- S.nt Government are very desirous that om & treaty should be made; but their ppyhents say they are to be blamed because they haVe not made advances to ata neat SULLIVAN was warmly re-| Queen's County in the House of} oe catia thai tle United States. Butail intelligent men, | wio understand the question, even some o the strongest opponents of — the (jsvsecnment, admit that it is better to act i dependently, as the Government are act- ny, than to niake ad ances which are cer- tain to be repulsed. The policy of the! present Government is, however, leading uy to Reciprocity. BY E-ELECTIONS. Since 1882, we have had nineteen elec- tions, and instead of losing seats, the Gov- ernment has made a gam. ‘The Govern- mene are constantly gaining strength, and there is no reson why the people of this Province should place themselves in oppo- sition toit. Usually it is the opposition which gains strength in the bye-elections ; but the opposition in the Dominion House f Commons and the opposition in the P E. Island Legislature are singular excep tions to the rule There must be some thing wrong about them. (Laughter. ) In conclusion, Mr. Sullivan said he has very much pleasure in proposing the nau of our friend Dr. Jenkins as a fit and pro- per candidate, and felt sure that in the event of a contest he would be triumphantly elected. (Applause ) Tomas A. Me LEAN, Esq. —said he had very great pleasure in seconding the nom- ination. He felt sure that, in the event ot a contest, we have nothing to do but to work earnestly, intelligently, persevereing- ly, and with the integrity of motive and action which characterize the great Liberal- Conservative Part’, to return Dr. Jenkins | by a larger majority than was ever befor< »htained in P. E. Island. |} Nem Currisz, Esy., of West River, sup- | ported the nomination. He had been pre- 8 nt at the Convention of the Liberal Con- | i j ' servative Party held in Charlottetown three years ago. He supported the nomi- nation of Dr. Jenkins then, and he sup- ported the nomination of Dr. Jenkins now. The Doctor’s energy and pluck would, he felt sure, be used to good advantage in the imterests of this County and this Province. Mr. Currie discussed the Na tional Policy at some length, and made several capital points, Docror JENKINS, on coming forward was received with applause. He said he could not express his thanks and gratification on account of the very unanimous and cor dial manner in which the meeting had re- ceived his nomination. His friends, Messrs. Sullivan aud Currie had made such able and and exhaustive speeches, that there was little left for him to say; and he felt that he ought. to be specially thankful t» his friend Mr. McLean. The Patriot stated that he was brought out by Senator Carvel; but this statement is, as everyone knows, untrue. He had been nominated at a meeting of representative Liberal Conser- vatives, called together by the President of the Liberal-Conservative Association. He had no doubt as to the result of the election, should there be a contest, for he felt in his bones that the Laberal-Con- servative Party would win bya WANDSOME MAJORITY. We have nothing to do but go te work and secure this election, and not only that but secure such a victory as would knock the Opposition in Queen's County, into the middle of the next century. (Applause and laughter.) The Government of Sir John is the Government which has done every thing fer the Dominion of Canada. Noth- ing has been done, except what has been done by Sir John and his colleagues. When their opponents entered the cabinet cftices at Ottawa, which they gained by a finke the country was prosperous, and the Trea- sury of the Domimon was overflowing. jut when they, again, in 1878 were called by the voice of the peo- ple to take charge of the pub- lic affairs, they found it a depleted treasury, and the country in a state bordering on ruin. Now, after five years have expired, the country is again prosper- ous, and the treasury again well supplied. Mr. Davies speaks of ‘‘mushroon factor- ies.”’ These factories employ our laborers and mechanics and afford a market in ow own country for our own productions; and by keeping at home a large proportion of our peopte who consume dutiable goods, are a means of keeping up the revenue of the country. When the factories were making large protits, Mr. Davies and his friends enlarged on the subject of the bloated manufacturers; but now that the ;rofits are reduced, he talks about ‘‘mush- roon factories.” ‘‘But he will _ find that a very large proportion of the factories have come to stay, and that the people ap- preciate the advantage of having cheap goods made in their own country. As to the important question of Reciprocity, we know that Reciprocity with the United Siates wou'd be of great service to Prince Edward Island. But what we want to do, and what the policy of the Government is calculated to do, is to show the American: that oui trade is worth hav ing. When Mr. McKenzie was in power, their answer to the appeal then made to them for ‘Reciprocity was : ‘* You have nothing to give us in return for the reciprocity you want—we have got all the trade you can give us.” But now they are coming to their senses. RAILWAY EMPLOYEES. Mr. Davies takes credit to himseif for the specch he made in Parliameut in behalf of the Ratiway officiais. If the eleciors knew, as | know, that nothing couid be more iikely to prevent a rise of pay to the rail- way ¢flicials than such injodicious action, they would net give him much credit. Hed he been really anxious to benetit the < ffi cials, he would have called at the oftice of Sir Charles and talked the matter over with him; and he would not have brought it up in the House. By so doing he has made it a very difficult matter for any one to obtain what Sir Charles felt compelled to publicly refuse. THE NORTHWEST POLICY. The policy of Sir John MeDonald as to the Great Northwest is well calculated to | promote the welfare of the whole Dominion. It is a policy which is attracting emigration to the country; and the more people there are, the greater the number who share in taxation, and the lighter the burder ail round. Hon. Neu McLeop supported the nom- ination of Dr. Jenkins ‘in a short and p»int- ed speech. He had no doubt that the pluck | and energy of the Dr. would be successfully | exerted in our behalf at Ottawa; and, | in his opinion, tke Government of} Sir John McDonald should be sustained by | the people of this Island on Local as well | as on National issues, for they are, as com- | ed with the Opposition, tht friends vf the. alana Provinve, PES : . EEE A THE DAILY BXAMINER, ¢ Hox. Donavp Ferauson said that as the hour was late, his remarks would be brief. The Grits say that the Nationa! Po'icy has destroyed our shipping industry. It is true there is a decline in shipbuilding, but that decline commenced before 187% ; in fact the per centage of decrease was greater from 1874 to 1879 than since. There isa draw- b ck a'lowed on matecial used in ship building, equal to the duty. The tonnage of vessels entered inward and outwerd wes greater by 1,710. 000 tons in 1881 than 1878. The total imports and exports in 1881 was over $30,000,000 greater than in 1878. The Mackenzie Government saw the sugar and coal interests of Canada struck down by American customs regulations, and they a oe -_ persistently refused to lend a helping hand. | And Positively the In 1875 the drawback allowe@ in the United States was in excess of the duty on raw sugar to the tune of $1.21. This gave the \merican refiner a bounty of 1} cents on ‘every pound of sugar exported to Canada. When every refinery in Canada was closed, the Americans reduced the bounty, and made us pay round prices for the sugar they sold us. In 1877-78 we imported from Britain 55,237,698 lbs. of sugar, @a from the United States 45,195,335 Ibs.. or altogether 98,433 033 —while we import- ed in that year only 11,983,439 Ibs. from the West Indias and Brazil. The National Policy changed all this. In 1881 we im ported only 21,263,390 lbs. from Great Britain and the United States, while we imported of raw sugar, 108,526,175 Ibs. This has given freights to our vessels and em- ployment to our own people, while the price of sugar has decreased. The coal industry of Nova Scotia is a noble interest, and it lies so near us that we may fairly regard it as an interest of our own, Under jug-handled free trade our coal was met by a high duty in the United States, while the coal of Ohio and Pennsylvania was ad- mitted free and largely used in Ontario and Quebec. The duty on coal under the National Policy has not increased the price to the Canadian consumer The Americans have had to regard Ontario and (Juebec as competition points, and we all know that the price of coal is not higher with us than it was before the adoption of the National Policy, while we have been afforded a good market near our own doors for our agricultural produce. Pat'K. Brake, Esq., M. P. P., warned the electors against the dangers of over- confidence, and said thst no stone should be left anturned by the Liberal-Conservative party, in order that their candidate might be returned by a very handsome majority. Hox. Wittiam CAMPBELL said he was heart and soul in accord with the nomina- tion. He said the feeling of many moderate minded Grits in the County is that it would be injudicious, at this time, to offer opposition to Dr, Jenhiis. E. J. Hopeson, Esg., moved an adjourn- ment; the meeting broke up at a late hour, LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, > Sir,—I desire to call the attention of the citizens to the Nuisance Act passed last Session which requires all ‘*Water Closets” of a greater ‘‘depth than four feet” and ‘all cess pools or manure pits of a greater depth than two feet. to be thoroughly cleaned and filled up with ashes or dry clay,” before the first day of June next. From the reports made to me py the police, I find that only in a comparatively few instances have the requirements of this statute been complied with. My duty is clear, and that is to compel obedience io this enactment withont delay more especial- ly in view of the epidemics now raging else- where, and which, at any moment may reach our shores. Some three months have elapsed since the passing of this Act, and ample time has been given to make the required altera- tions. Next week the Police will send in their final report in this matter, and then it wil! be my unpleasant duty to summon all persons guilty of an infraction of the Act. I take this most public way of informing the citizens of their responsibilities and my duty, trusting that it may ensure an imme diate compliance with the law. Yours, R. R. Firzceravp, 8. M.
