A. McKenzie at Toronto. ‘The policy of the Government is deter- mined opposition to the Opposition”.- -Pre- mier’s Speech at the Drill Shed. In other words, the policy of the Gov- ernment is to slander their opponents and do nothing for the good of the country. THE OPPOSITION PLATFORM. A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF THE TARIFF. To make the duties fall more equitably. To make it the interest of the United States to accord Reciprocity. To revive the languishing West India Trade. To remove the present barriers to the de- velopment of our Agricultural, Mining and other Natural resources ; and gen- erally To encourage Home Industries with Home Markets for Home Produce. To promote our Fishing interests and pro- tect the rights of our Fishermen. Economy 1X DepraRTMENTAL ADMINISTRA- TION. A REPRESENTATIVE OF PRINCE IsLAND IN THE CABINET. EDWARD THE PLANK ON WHICH SIR JOHN McDONALD STANDS. ‘‘ Nerrner at LONDON OR RLSEWHERE HAVE I GOME BEYOND MY MOTION IN Par- LIAMENT, AND HAVE NEVER PROPOSED AN INCREASE, BUT ONLY A KE-ADJUSTMENT OF TARIFF. ** Joun A, McDonatp.” ‘*Wecan well understand that we may raise the duty on woollen, cotton and other goods, but lower the duty on articles of general consumption which we cannot pro- duce, and the volume of taxation may be LESS IN FACT, although it may be raised, at any given time, higher than it was before. If a man were obliged to pay a cent more for his cotton, and had a cent taken off his tea, it would be found, by calculation, that he was a gainer by the operation.” —Sir John in Parliament. MR. TILLEY’S PLANK. Mr. Ti.ey then took up the public ex- penditure, showing that an average expen- diture of $22,500,000 was all that was necessary, and the expenditure ought to have been kept within that, instead of an average, as it has been, of $24,000,000. The policy of the Opposition was Nor IN- CREASED TAXATION, as it had been stated by their opponents, but a readjustment of the tariff and REDUCED EXPENDI- TURES. These were the planks in their platform, together with encouragement to our manufacturing industries; ship’s ma- terials, raw materials, machinery not made in the country, free; 15 PER CENT. on non-enumerated articles ; and an increase of the tariff on such articles as we can pro- duce in the country, giving cmployment to our people and a HOME MARKET FOR OUR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE. DR. TUPPER’S PLANK. ‘*T trust I have satisfied the House tha IT IS NOT a question of high or low taxa- tion, any further than this, that, inasmuch as we governed the country with a small taxation, and inasmuch as we ere prepared to govern the country again vithout those extravagant expenditures made by the pres- ent Government since they have been en- trusted with power, all we ask is, Not THAT THE TAXATION OF THE PEOPLE SHALL BE INCREASED, because we do not require so much money as the hon. gentlemen oppo- site, as we have shown by our economy in the past, and which we are prepared to practice in the future, but that the money shall be levied in such a way as to FURNISH EMPLOYMENT FOR THE PEOPLE AND PROVIDE THE MEANS OF PAYING THE TAXATION THAT IS LEVIED UPON THEM.” THE OPPOSITION CANDIDATES.

MR MACKENZIE PLACED IN A SIRABLE LIGHT, VERY UNDE- WAS If DISHONESTY OR RASH CARELESSNESS / Hairax, N. §., Aug. 29. The Supreme Court to-day delivered judgment confirming the decision of Judge titchie of the 11th March last, in the case of the Windsor & Annapolis Railway Co. vs. the Western Counties Railway Co. This decision directly attacks the action of Mr. Mackenzie in giving forcible possession of the Windsor Branch Railway to the Western Counties Railway as a reward for the political services of Frank Killam, ae - Mr. Mackenzie gave forcible possession to Mr. Killam’s Company in the face of his own lease of the same road to the Windsor & Annapolis Railway Co., and in violation of acts giving this company running rights over the road, and the result was a dual system of railway freights between Halifax and the Western Counties, which has in- juriously affected the trade of this city and the three counties. The result of the litigation will put an end to Western Extension perhaps, and will fling in Mr. McKenzie’s face the votes of four Counties. It 1s the last straw that breaks the Grit camel’s back in this Pro- vince. Mr. McKenzie is now in a position to be pressed for large damages by the two rail- way companies through an act of sheer dis- honesty and ruthlessness. A procession and demonstration wi'l be held to-night, in King’s County, over the result of the decision of the count. eatin iS HALIFAX. Depression of Trade. ONE ELEMENT OF HOPE—A CHANGE OF GOV- ERNMENT. Ir is pretty low tide just now with gen- eral business within the city. Granville street, those bright summer afternoons, has a ‘*Pompeian” appearance, and as far as humanity is concerned it might almost be taken for the back street of the Deserted Village. We would hardly care to write ‘* Ichabod” over the doors of our ware- houses; but judging from present appear- ances, unless that ‘‘something’” we have been looking for so long soon comes, the City Board of Works might as well let the grass grow in the strects, and allow butter- cups and daisies to flourish on the side- walks. Yet there are elements of hope from which to draw encouragement. ‘The re- sults of the impending elections, as forecast by experienced interpreters of public feel- ing, must bring a change for the better. Not an insignificant factor in this position ot affairs is the decision of the Supreme Court in the railway dispute, which, though appealed from, virtually settles the question for the W. & A. Company. This will re- store to Halifax the trade of the beautiful Annapolis Valley, which was wrested f:om us by an iniquitous act of spoilation, and for over a year has been in the possession of others. If we can only get the ‘‘few years of apparent prosperity,” whicheven the op- ponents of the National Policy admit aspos- sible, the country will be better able to stand the years of adversity so freely croaked of as coming by people who do not seem to have learned the lessons of the five years of terrible adversity we have already borne. —Hx, Herald. Cyprus Wine. A gentleman has presented to Queen Victoria some Cyprus wine that is more than three centuries old, so that it must have been made from grapes that grew un- der the Venetian rule of the island, or very soon thereafter, as the Turks took Cyprus in 1571. It beats the Opimain wine, for that, at the end of two centuries, had be- came as thick as honey, and was eaten with aspoon. Then it is as strong as Samson, and knocks the drinker down as easily as that matchless Hebrew would have laid out a dozen Philistines. Should Queen Vic- toria ever offer you a glass of the old Cy- prian vintage, take it, but don’t ask for more, for a second glass would upset you. Counting interest, this wine must be worth much more than a guineaa glass. As Haw- thorne says of the Juno Madeira brand, it is ‘‘a golden liquor, worth more than liquid gold.” — oa Prince Von Bismarck, report says, has urged President McMahon to press upon the French Chambers the adoption of repressive measures against the Socialists, like those, we presume, that he (Bismarck) is making against the Socialists of Germany; but the French will hardly care to have their legis- lation dictated from Berlin. If the preval- ence of Socialism in Germany is a cause of weakness to that Empire, it is for the in- terest of France that it should flourish there. It is mentioned that the President had pardoned twenty-five Communists, ‘which would not seem to indicate that he thinks of complying with the request of the Berlin Government. eet pian ‘‘Tue transport of the steel ra 3 from the Island to the banks of the Fraser that is now being carried out, is one of the most transparent election dodges that has ever been perpetrated by Mr. McKenzie.”’ a costly dedge, too, the transport bill for the 5,000 tons reaching fully $50,000,— § Austin C. McDonatp, Esq. + Dr. Mvrrart. Victoria, C. B., Standard, It is} ~" Another Reformer. AT LOGGERITEADS WITH THE GOVERNMENT’, Ata meeting in Toronto recently (a Refor- /mer) Mr. O’Donohoe said he could tight his personal battle with Mr. O’Conner, but no one ever found him going into a constituency to oppose a Catholic, no matter to what party he belonged. . (Loud cheers.) He had too much confidence, too much regard for the in- dependence and the judgment of his friends who were present, he had too much faith in their manhood to beleive that they would de- sire to pull him or themselves at the tail of any Administration which insulted the whole Catholic body. He professed himself as he had ever been, and, he trusted, ever would be —a Reformer. But, if the Government of On- tario acted as had that of the Dominion, much as he respected it and upheld it, he would op- pose it as be would oppose to the very last tue Administration of Alexander McKenzie. (Loud cheers,) Let them change their men, take Mr. McKenzie away, and place a man at the head of affairs who would be true to his principles, and he (Mr. O’Donohoe,) would be found back in their ranks fighting for them; but it would be necessary for them to repudi- ate the utterances of their Postmaster-General at Argenteuil, (cheers), it would be next neces- sary for them to make an apology for the con- duct of their Prime Minister to the Catholic people through their delegation, and next, it would be necessary for them to reform his acts and show that instead of unbounded extrava- yance they would set out with economy the platform upon which they received support, because, if Ministers could say one thing to a constituency on the eve of an election, and traverse that when in power, where was political immorality to end? Had they no political independence, to say to a Government, ‘We will dispose of you as of any other servant when you fail to perform your duties?” Would any merchant keep a dishonest or incapable servant rather than look for one who might be better? If such a man there were, he was on a par with those who said, ‘, Keep in McKenzie and his Government for fear you may get a worse one,” (Cheers.) After apologizing for detaining the meeting so long, Mr. O' Donohoe pointed out that this was the only means he had of explaining his posi- tion to them. He had received over a hund- red letters in response to his invitations, all breathing the same view that something should be done to secure representative positions for the Catholic body. He suggested that in one or two months, when the heat of the political contest was over, another meeting should be held for the purpose of organization. After stating the pleasure he should derive from seeing Messrs. P. Hughes and John O’Connor returned for Niagara and Russell respectively, he concluded by moving the following resolu- tion :— *‘], Whereas the pe of the Reform party, as enunciated through its r ized exponents—conventions, press, and leaders— may be summarized as follows : Ist. Government by party, or no coalition of opposing political parties, 2nd, Independence of the people’s represen- tatives of the power of the ‘‘Crown” or Execu- tive. 3rd. The absolute control of Parliament over all public moneys, the utmost Vigilance over all appropriated expenditure, a stern re- probation of the practice of unauthorized ex- penditure by the Executive, and that every sum voted should be for a specific and definite purpose. 4th. Economy and efficiency in the admin- istration of public affairs, 5th. Strict conformity with, and faithful adherence to the theory and practice of the responsibility of Ministers to the people, ‘2. And, whereas, these principles and professions commended themselves to the good sense of the people, who believed that their practical application would redound to the country’s benefit, and with faith in the prom- ises and pledges of their accredited leaders, accorded them a hearty support and generous confidence to enable them to inaugurate and carry them out. ‘**3. And whereas, after five yeers trial, with the most ample opportunity of giving effect to these professions and proving their own sincerity, backed by a majority in the House of Commons, unexampled in the constie tutional history of this country, all the prin- ciples, professions and promises of the Reform party have either been ignored, forgotten oi broken ; a coalition taking the place of pwe party Government, the independence of Par- liament violated, members contracting with the Government, wide-spread corruption of members of Parliament, which required a white-washing Act to shield the delinquents ; members, from the first Commoner down- wards, tempted by a venal Government: the Speaker, a Minister of the Crown, and several other members, compelled to vacate their seats, while others, fearing the ordeal, ab- sented themselves for a whole session ; the control of Parliament set at naught in giving contracts without being submitted for its ap- proval ; moneys expended without being ap- propriated ; the cost of administration in every department of the public services increased, notwithstanding the crippled resources of the people and an unusually severe commercial depression; pledges of retrenchment disre- garded ; and while pretending to be the cus- todians of popular liberty defending the viola- tion of the principles ot responsible Govern- ment by sustaining the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec in dismissing a Ministry possessing the confidence of the people’s representatives. ‘*Be it therefore resolved that the McKenzie Administration has, in the opinion of this meeting, forfeited the confidence reposed in it in 1874; that it is justly chargeable with much of the distress to-day prevailing in the coun- try, that any further lease of power would augment the destitution brought on by inca. pacity and extravagance, and that it is the duty of the electorate, irrespective of party bias, ta unite in displacing a Government whose record is -made up of broken pledges, abnegation of prin- leiples and unblushing hypocrisy.” . > + ae «e Extra VALUE in Black Lustres and Cashmeres—just received, J. & W.
