Tho Address of Woleotne on behalf

To thc' Right llonnra-blc Sir Itohcrt

I.. Borden, I‘. (3,. G.(l.M.G.., l'rinto Nllnlstcr oi' tlitliatla, ctc.. etc.

On behalf' of tho people of Prince

hldward Island and on the occasion of yottr first trip to these shores over the new inter-provincial highway which tnust ever be inseparnbly cott- necteu with your honored name. we hid you welcome.

It has been the- purpose of the Fath-

ers oi' (lonfetieration that all the Pro- vince of tlte Dominion should be con- nected by modern and effective meuns of transportation at the earliest proc-_ ticable date.-Tile construction of tlte International Railway was provided for in th@'terntg oi' ttnion between the ilrst four Provinces in 1867. aitd in like manner daily communication by steam between Prince _Edward ls- litnd and the Mainland, wus stipulated In the te-rms of union oi’ this province and the Dominion. Isolated' as we were, the fulfilment of this agreement was u matter of the most vital conse- quence to us. _ , Successive Canadian Governments made various efforts to ‘lmpletneitt this agreement by providing Ice-break Ing steamers for the winter season. which were of notable utility but fall- cd to maintain continuous service. The late Sir John A. Macdonald while he was’ Premier of (lanada too measures -by whi-ch branch railway lines were constructed from Snelrvllle to Cdpe 'l`ormentIiie. N. B.. ami from E erald to Cape 'l‘rave'rse, P. E. l.,

this place. But the missin link re- mained missing for more- alan tltirty years. Successive Governments at Ottawa admitted the default and made partial financial compensation.
