By substituting Farquharson for Castle- reagh in the above quotation it may point a moral regarding our present position. In 1890 the debt of $128,000, created by the Conservatives during their twelve years of ottice, was held ty Mr. Farquharson as being a most alarming state of affairs. It to Mr. Farquharson that atives could point te past suc- with much more serious financial difficulties. Nothing would snffice bat installatioa of a Liberal government ino a change of edministration and the make revenue and expenditure That about, as far as achange of men was con- ofice which would meet. was brought | cerned, and Messrs Peters and Farquhar son assumed office in Apri!, 1891. What is the pcsitiontolay? Has rev~ enue and expenditure been made to meet ? Has the financial situation been relieved ? [tis unnecessary to answer these questions: It is well known that the deficit of one year, 1893, nearly equalled the entire debt left by the Conservativesas the result of tweive years administration. Nearly, if not altogether, $500,000 have been added to the debt, and this, too, net withstsnding thatin round figures $225,000 have been collected fromthe peoplein direct tax- ation during the eight years of Liberal rule. With the knowledge that they were making a deficit of $119,000 in the year 1893, Peters and Farqubarson went to the country about the end of that year with the mendacions claim that they had almost paid off the Conservative debt, that direct taxation war unaecessary and would not be imposed until the people were con- sulted at the polls. In 1894,when the true state of the flaar- ces could no longer be concealed, a scheme of taxation was introduced, accompanied with a solemn declaration in the form of a resolution as foliows : “Whereas, the expectation which the Government of this province has hereto. fore held, that this province would re- ceive from the Government of Canada such ao increased amount’ of subsidy as would make it unneceseary to supplement the revenue of this province by any. mode of taxation, has not heen realized, although the Government looked forward to its realization in future, and it is therefore, necessary, for the time being, by some measure Of taxation to add to the revenue of the province,” Then came taxes on lands, income, commercial trav-liers, banks, insurance companies, etc. From these sources, as we have eaid, about $225,009 have been raised. Yet the sctual debt is now about $600,000. In 1897 everybody could see whither. we were drifting, and a general election was imminent. Mr. F. Peters, who had already arranged to leaye the province acd did not care anything forthe future of Prince Edward Island, then announced his famous arbitration scheme by which he claimed that millions of doll srs in cash would flow into the Provincial Treasury, Messrs. Farquharson and McKinonov,who gained their elections in 1897 on this ar- bitration cry, have now repudiated it, In fact they have been forced to 1epudiate it, because the Conservative policy of se curing public works for the Island hag been partially adopted by the Laurier Ad- ministration, who have thue emphatically rejected the arbitration proporal. With their promises regarding equa!- izing revenue aod expenditure compiéiely violated; their arbitration scheme abane doned and repudiated; almost every ex-~ pedient in the way of direct taxation al~ ready utilized, and a debt of $600,000 created, which is still growing larger by leaps and bounds,—the worst enemy of the Local Government could scarcely desire that they should be placed in a more de~ plorable situation. Mr. Farquharson cannot meet his op. ponents successfully in a discussion of the finances of the Proyince. His whole hope is in baodling, road operations and Sir Louis Davises’ threats to have the railway “stoped”’ or “hindered’’ if the me® of Belfast and Murray Harbor vote against the Government. Farqubarson’s road jobbery and Davise’® threats will both recoil on theirown heads. In the course of a few months we shall have honest Conservative administrations in power at Ottawa and Charlottetown. | The Southern Railway, with @ cross line touching at Montagne, will be pushed to completion us well as other branches on the Island, and Mr. Gordon and his friends will extricate the from the fioancial ruin which now threatens it, When pressed closely by Messrs. Martin province and McLean during the recent meetings in Belfast, Mr. Farquharsoa decla:ed that he would continue issuing debentures in order to cover his extravagant outlays and deficits. This pro« regularly ,recurriag position is enough to take the breath away. ‘Lhe interest on the debt will after this year be about $24,000 yearly. The Land Ottice receipts are rapidly diminishing, anl when the Bridge is con~ structed it is likely that $12.000 per an- num will drop from our annual subsidy from Ottawa, est on the accumulating indebtedness to be We ask how is the invter- met? It cannot be met except by the most crushing application of direct taxation and the end will be the swamping of our Provincial autouony. Premier Farquharson’s debenture policy to meet current expenditures is purely We want an able and courageous Provincial Government to Spanish financiering. deal skilfully with the situation which is becoming more and more desperate in the bands of reckless and incompetetent men. THE ASYLUM REPORT. Tae public are very anxious to have the report of the Asylum Commission, which should have been published long ago. Itis strongly suspected that it is withheld because of its damaging con- demnation of the Government. Premier Farquharson dares not have it published while the Belfast and Murray Harbor election contests are in progress. RAILROAD... Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills.
