THE DAiLY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, FEBRUARY 23, 1:99

THE DAILY BXAM!

FEBRUARY 23, 1899

NOT OREDITABLE.

Srxce the storm of last week there have been daily crossings at the Capes and the traine have deen running on time. Yet our incomiag mails are still four or five days late. As for the outgoing maile,— we know a gentieman who mailed an important § letter to Montreal on the 9th imat., and received his reply today. Judging by the date of the reply, thatletter could not have reached Montreal! until the 17th, or eight days after it was poeted ix Charlottetown. Snch ce~ lerity of movernent is not creditable to th® gentlemen who “hold a waster empire than bas been” —over the forces of locomotion.

P. E. ISLAND HOSPITAL.

We learn that the trustees of the P. E. Island Hospital have only enough money to complete the building under coatract. Additional subscriptions are required in order that heating apparatus, ven- tilating plant, electric light fittings, plumbing, etc., without which the building will be absolutely useless as a hospital, may be supplied. We hav, no doubt that citizens and vcoun~ trymen, alike, will respo-d liberally to the call of the trustees for the $4,000 more money. The hospital, if fully and _pro- perly equipped, will be a credit to the community as well as @ great boon to the sick and afflicted. Therefore, let the subscriptions be prompt aod generous.

HOW TO DO IT! Proresson Robertson proves in his report fcr 1897 that there isa good place in the British market for Canadian pro- ducts, Butto obtain it Canadians must,

+ he says, win,—

(1) By superiority in quality;

(3) By regularity in supply;

(3) By ability to sell at as low or ata lower price than competing countries;

(4) By putting the goods in attractive packages 10 exactly suit and please their customers.

It will not do for the producers in this

country to say: “ We shall send ou

products in a form in which we think they ought to like them and take them.” By following that plan, while Canadians were endeavouring to educate the taste of the British merchants and consumers to their standards, our competitors will accept the situation, and supply the kinds of goods in just the way io which they are wanted, and thuscaptureand keep the market.

Where the Taxpayer Is Hit

To use a street plrase, “‘WLere does the taxpayer come in?” in these distributions of money, of mines and of franchises ?

He gets no advantage out of the gift of coal mines to Globe newspaper directors.

He derives nothing from the,transference of a million to g,Tarte’s politicalfGreen- shields.

He has no share in the 3,758,000 acres of gold lands offered to the Yukon con- tractors.

He certainly gets nothing out of the ad- mivsion of the Standard Oil monopoly into Canada.

The taxpayer, asa matter of fact, is not in it.

His acle privilege is to vote for the poli- ticians who tax him for their friends, or to

NEW BRUNSWICK ELECTIONS

Sr. Jouw and Moncton papers of last Monday morning, at hand here thie (Thursday) morning, afford some insight into the causes of the resuitof Saturday’ s polling.

It ie shown that Mr, Biair’s deal with Gibson, for the purchase by the Domn~ ion Government ofthe Canada Eastern railway, caused the town of Marysville, which belongs toGibson absolutely, to give the government 380 votes to 50, where- as at the last eleetion the opposition had more than 300 majority there

Again itie declared thatthe railway employees at St. Johnand Moucton, had some new experiences on Saturday. Ino St. John ore of the canditates stood at the poll, where most of them voted, and gave each maa his ballot. Io this province the vote ia practically open, as ballotsars not marked inthe booth, They are carried in with the names of the candidstes, for whom the elector wishes to vole, printed or written on them. Theelector is never out of sight of the wan who gives him the ballot until his ballot is deposited. The candidate who gave railway men the bal. lots here kept a list of employees, aud caused them to eee him check off their names. [tis said that the men had al been eautioned before, and that it would be perilous for them to refuse to vote as dir- ected. The government made enormous gains in this railway ward.

Hon. A. R. Dickey of Cumberland, gaye:

‘Emmerson was beaten a few days before the election, and it was only by concentrat- ed effort on the partof the corruptionists that the government was enabled to carry the country as it had done. There were ward heelere in St. Joho, Mr. Dickey said, who had never been known to possess five dollara, yet some Of them were exhibiting sums all the way up to $500

and thia state of affairs existed all over the province. The ex-minister was sacked if he thought that con~

servatives who had rallied tothe sup port of the Emmerson government would not definitely remain in the liberal camp, and said it was quiet likely they would.

“And Mr. Costigan ?”

“No,Il do not think so,I sheuld have excepted Mr. Costigan.”

“Then you do vot think Mr. Costigan will aceept office under Sir Wilfrid Laurier.”

“No, replied the ex~minieter, I do not think there is the least danger of any such move.”

The Monctoa Times says :

“With the detaile that Mr. Blair has been able to make the government candi- dates wou'd have been returned in nearly every constituency without # contest. As it is they have been most successful, but both Blair and Emmerson know that it has been a terrible cost. The opposition will be few in the new House, but they can point toa most raspectable minority vote in all the constituencies and upon that they may build for the future.”

Mr. Foster believes “‘ it was hard caeh and the influence of the Dominion Goy- erament that brought about Saturday’s resul!. Mr. Foster thinks government corruption fund reached from $84,000 to $100,000. Tbe effect of thie was feit all over. The government made a porticular dead set upoo York, Bt. John, Carleton ard Westmorland,”

TLe St. John Sun seyes

“ Snecess at the polls will doubtless lead Mr. Emmerson to say that the charg:s made ,againsi his mmianagement have been disproved. Such ot least claim of the late Mr. Mercier after his trinmpbavt return in 1890. The next} year showed the fallacy of this claim in Mr. Mercier’s case, and it is somewhat significant that Mr. Pacavd, the manager of the Baie dee Chaleur deal, «aid in his paper that Mr. Emmerson ought to be returned, as he was agood deal such a man as Mr. Langelier, Mr. Mercie.’s provineiul secretary. The result of the election will perhaps be claimed asa proof either that Mr. Emmerson did not pay two prices for the bridges, or that the peo- ple desired him to pay two prices. But whatever is claimed, the fact remains, established by evidence which no man can meet, that two to five prices have been paid for bridges and tbat the department of public works is grossiy mismanaged to the evrichment of favorites and vtter dis- regard of public interests. The crown land department is likely toclaim that the stumpage offemces are condoned. Mr Tweedie may take what view he likes, but ihat will not charge the fact that tens of millions of feet Of lumber are cut year- ly from crown lands on which no stump-~ age is paid. The result in St. Joho may be ciied asa proof that the citizens are willing to bave $17,000 a year taken by the government from our municipal — rev- enue. The fact stands, hower, that the money is taken, and with it the power of the citizens to regulate or control the liquor traffic.”
