Sir,—I have a few words to say in reply | to an article in yesterday's Patriot on direct taxation. The object of this article, and some others which have preceded it, is to prove that the Government pledged themselves to do without direct taxation, for at least their new term of office. I believe the writer of this article to be the Hon, David Laird ; and if so it aftoerds most conelusive evidence that Mr, Laird has little disposition to improve on his past career as a journalist. Mr. Laird attended five meetings In my constituency during the local campaign last spring. At each of those meetings, in his presence, I stated that the Government claimed no eredit for repealing the Assessment Act, but they did for reducing the expenditure. At the Marshfield Meeting, Mr. George Vessey asked me the question if I would pledge myself not to impose direct taxes for four years. I replied that ‘‘ nobody but a fool would give any such pledge.” Mr. Vessey, who is a strong but honorable opponent of mine, remembers the question and answer well, and scores of others in the meeting, of both parties, have a vivid recollection of the facts. I cannot believe that Mr. Laird question and my answer, how can Mr. deceiving the people on the question of direct taxation! His conduct in this matter only shows how treacherous and dishonorable he is in his treatment of his opponents. There is not a man in the wide Dominion who has such an ugly record for broken promises as Mr. David Laird. I need not particularize. His bad faith has become proverbial both in the Island and beyond it; and, if that bad faith has not obtained for him an offensive ‘‘surname” it is not because he has not earned it, but because nis opponents are possessed of gentlemanly instincts, of which he is totally deficient l am, yours, ete., D.

Dear Srr,—I have seen by the last issue of the Examiner, that a certain sum stuck all the candidates at the Civil Service Examination. I, having attended that examination, gave the following as a solution of the said sum, which if not cor- rect, | would be much obliged to you for the correct solution of it. $20,000—$1,000 = $19,000 & $19,000+2 = $9 500, youngest son’s share ; and $9,500 + $1,000 = $10,500 the elder son’s share.
