A New Revelation !

Ly his speech at Centreville, on Frida; evening last, we are informed that th Hon. Mr. Ferguson made a new revelatior in reference to the manner in which the late Government made “‘ducks and drakes’ of the public accounts. In order to swell the expenditure of 1876, to the prejudice o Mr. Owen’s Government, Mr. Davies paid official salaries and other sums maturing on the 3lst of December, 1876, in that year, and thus charged them to the expenditur: of 1876. In 1877 he placed the sum v! $18,000 to the credit of the education ac- count in the bank, and charged that sum tv the expenditure of 1877, but actually no cheque was drawn against that amoun until 1878. In the year 1873 this course was not pursued, and thus ONLY THREE (3) QUARTERS’ TEACHERS’ SALARIES WERE PAID IN THE YEAR 1878.

During the late eleven days’ session, members of the late Government implored an opportunity for laying the public ac- counts for 1878 before the House. It now appears that their object was to lay only a partial statement of the public expenditure for 1878 before the country. In other words, to present a statement of expendi- ture for 1878, most grossly and deliberately “cooked,” carrying abeut one-eighth of the whole expenditure of 1878 into the accounts of 1879. Had they succeeded in tabling their ‘‘cooked ” accounts, they would then probably have dissolved the House, and they could conceal from the electors all knowledge of the enormous expenditure for 1878 which they had carried into 1879. But—

And leave us naught but grief and pain

For promised joy.

The people's party met them promptly with a vote of “‘ no confidence ;”’ and since the dissolution, the new Government have properly given the electors te know the truth respecting revenue and expenditure for 1878.

The deficit for 1878—as shewn by the Public Accounts—is $23,000. In addition to this, the sum of $37,000 has been paid, since the Ist of January, every dollar of which belonged to last year’s expenditure, making the actual deficit for 1878 Sixty Tuovusanp Dotiars.

The payment of teachers’ salaries, for only three-quarters in 1878, carrying the other quarterly payment into the present

7. That after the resignation of the four SJonservative members, the most wholesale jobbery and extravagance was indulged in by the ‘‘ Rump,” the actual expenditure geing more than $60,000 over the revenue.

8. That one quarter’s salary to teachers, and many other large expenditures, were left unpaid in 1878, in order to swell the expenditure of 1879, and conceal as long as possible, from the public, a knowledge of the extravagance which was going on.

The Patriot’s Tactics.

Thomas W.

A very fair-minded gentleman writes :— “The Putriot is rapidiy losing its influence asa party paper. When Donald Currie, Esq., penned its editorials and managed it generally the paper was an influential political organ. With a change of editor- ship the paper and its party suffered. It cannot now, in political warfare, write a single truth. The Liberal party are highly displeased with its management and have no hesitation in stating so. No doubt its present weakness and depravity is owing to the absence of the chief editor. The pres- ent incumbent isa failure politically and morally. His abuse of political opponents is alienating his own party from the Liberal ranks. Every blow he deals his opponents results in dragging his friends through the mire. It would be far better for the Leader of the Opposition if the sub-editos of the Patriot were his open enemy.”

The New Banking Bill.

The Montreal Gazetie of Thursday says that the effect of the bill introduced by lion. Mr. Campbell, Receiver-General, in

year, shows how barefaced has been the

ihe Senate to amead the Banking Act, wiil

{be (1) to prevent “short” sales of bank

fraud attempted to be practised on the shares ; (2) to prevent banks loaning upon

people. A Hoist by His Own Petard.

Mr. L. H. Daviss states that to raise revenue for Provincial buildings—such as lunatic asylums—by the issue of debentures is to place a mortgage upon every man’s farin.

Mr. L. H. Davies authorized the issue of debentures for schools in Charlottetown, and secured the payment of the interest by the city by taking a lien on the revenues of the corporation.

Thirty-six thousand dollars’ worth of de- bentures have been issued by Mr. Davies’ authority. Thirty-six thousand dollars have been added tothe debt which the citizens have to carry; and, according to Mr. Davies himself, a mortgage has been placed upon the house of every citizen, and the mortgage shall remain until the debt is paid.

Citizens, remember this on Wednesday. You are certainly justified in jivisiing Mr. Davies with his own notard.

Its provisions refer only to bank stocks, and, in no way, the Gazette thinks, relate to telegraph, gas or navigation shares or shares of similar companies, so far as mis- cellaneous securities are concerned, the powers of the banks and brokers are not not interfered with.

tinned in vogue. Monetary Times (a non-political journal) is pally significant :—

‘Several Canadian manufacturers state ‘their intention not to raise the price of their |products. They expect to obtain an increased ‘sale, and from a large business to a greater ‘profit. But, let us proceed to special in- ‘stances. Barber Brothers, of Streetsville, woollen manufacturers, do not propose to ‘make any advance on the old scale of prices. Nor do Gordon, McKay & Co., of Toronto, cotton manufacturers, whose mills are at ) Thorold, intend to advance prices for the de- scription of goods they sell. Mr. Staunton, of Toronto, the most extensive manufacturer of wall paper in the country, says he can now sell 10,000 rolls where he sold only 5,000 before, and that. with the increased sale, the old prices will prove satisfactory, and no increase will be made. The Messrs. Nelson, broom and pail makers, of Toronto, say that though ithe wire they use in wrapping the brooms will cost more than under the old tariff, the amount is not sufficient to justify them in raising the prices of either dcscription of the articles they produce, Cobban & Co., Toronto, manufacturer of picture frames. are still en- abled to seH at the old rates. Hay & Co., eabinet-makers, of Torouto, whose business has long been on an extensive scale, alvertise that they sell under the new tani at the prices they obtained under the old. In the} hat and cap-manufac'ure there will be noad- vance of prices. Mr. Ives, of Montreal, an- nonaces that he continues to sell his castings at the old figures. Here are representatives of nine different kinds of manufactures—cot- tons, wouvllens, wall paper, picture frames, brooms, pails, castings, furniture, hats and caps—who declare their ability and intention to sell their products at the same rates under the new taritf that they got under the old. We shall probably have similar announcements from other manufacturers before long.”’

Here are afew facts resulting from the new tariff :—

Canadian capitalists betook themselves to the United States,

Since the introduction of the National Policy, 154 new enterprises have been started in Ontario. 150 Canadian vessels, iaid up at Ottawa for the past three years, and nomin- ally used in the transportation of lumber to Whitehall, Burlington and other American ports, have been refitted for the opening of navigation. Under the new taritf, Canadian lumber will be shipped in Canadian instead of American bottoms. —Hzx. Herald.

The Halifax Morning Chronicle says: ‘‘ The Steel Company of Canada intends branching out in very extensive and enlarged wor.s. The people of Colchester have great reason to be proud of such an enterprising company in their midst. The new work will embrace, it is said, the manufacture of nails and every description of solid and plate glass.”

Hamilton’s Mill,nearthe Suspension Bridge, resumed operations yesterday morning. This will doubtless furnish employment to a iarge number of men who have have been idle throughout the winter season.
