I. 5 _ Ja Sta,—The question as to the manner in ich the affairs of this province have been sdministered by the Governmeat for the st nine years calls for the best attention of the elestors. The party should be put oat of court for the pregeat in order that the country’s interests may becandidly weigh- ed. twill be @ poor bargain to support a party at the expense of the country. As a help to the electors in dealing with the question before them, let me refer to & matter of some importance which hap- pened about the time of the last geaeral election and which has escaped notice 89 oY } i far. It may serve as an index of the wasteful management on the part of the men now in power. A cry was raised at that time that the country would be enricbed andthe farmers wauld have a market at their own loors by 4 fortunate discovery of coal made in the region to the reer of Wood Islands. Phe Gevernment jumped on the back of this Trojan horse. An amount was putin the estimates to prosecute the work. 4n epgine and drill were imported aud set to work boring for coal and the work was continued while the election was yong on. But it soon st yppe 1;—there was no coal. In the I slative Library there was before the} Ast Government’s eyes an exhaustive report | by Sir William Dawson, which if they had ' 1 would have saved the country would mock | 1 coneulte money. But they we.e in haste and not delay to read it. For this lic work—this practical joke inflicte: rut . the coantry—the Goverameat paid out $1,250 of the people’s money (see Public Accounts 1897) but not one dollar of their; wn money so far as app2ars was put in} he venture. There was oo report made. | Now this lavish expenditure was not made for want of baving uses for the money. ‘hey bad before and since put al! their powers to work to grind money out of the electors. Land was taxed, income, banks, and corporations, &c., but all to no pur- pore to the country. They could not stop the deficit. Piles ofdeficits were rolled up until now a mountain of debt has been; raised—oyer half a million dcllars. It; may intereat you to reflect on some of the| good uses to which the money they wast-} ed might have heen put. | Our teachers for instance are as a rule poorly paid. Their supple-| ments were cut off by the Goveroment for | want of mouey. The $1,250 thrown away | in their coal prospecting would have made | one hundred of them happy for a year; but| to make the teachers happy was vot their | object. We bave Lundreds or thousands | of poor men and widows compelled to pay) tax on land which ‘they cannot till. | That money squandered back of Wood| Islands woald bave brovght joy to their | hearte if givep them instead. We havea pocrbouse and an insane asylum,both in a) bad way, aod apparently that money vir- fellow electors it is yourturn to act. Will you wink at such acts on the part ofthe men in power. If you will, more will fol- low. Yours, etc, D. McNgitt, Formerly clerk in the Educaiion Office, Charlottetown.
