Gireat Enthusiasm at the Close.

De. ‘Trrren, accompanied by a large number of the leading citizens oi Charlotte- town, took train at 11.40 yesterday ev route for Summerside. Arrived at Kensington they were met by a deputation of Summer- side gentlemen, consisting of Hon. John Lefurgey, M. P. P., Thos. Kelly, Esq., and Richard Hunt, Esq. On his arrival the Doctor was greeted with although the crowd on the platform was not so large as that present on the arrival of the much heartier than those

cheers—which,

Premier—-were given by the ofiieials who ereeted Mr. Me- Kenzie on that ominously solemn occasion. The day was as fine as a day could be; and, notwithstanding the fact that our far- mers are now in the imidst of their harvest, hundreds of them evinced their interest in the important questions before the country and their anxiety to hear the great states- man’s exposition of. those questions, by leaving their fieldsand coming into Summer- side. ‘The pre- sented a gayer appearauce. ing and banners inscribed with appropriate mottoes the Among other mottoes, we noticed, ‘““WELCOME TO PR.

+ Reecerociry—A Free Market for our Produce. ”

Dr. Tupper was conducted to a carriage ; and, headed by the Summerside Band and a marshal on horseback, he was escorted through the streets, accompanied by a pro- cession of over forty carriages. Regarding the procession the Patriof—in a telegraphic report—to which we respectfully direct the attention of Mr, James— says :—

‘* The turnout of teams was quite large,

and we are told that, with the exception of a

fewof the leading men, the processionists who

were not hankrupts or office-seekers were rum- sellers.”

In the procession were the Hon. John Lefurgey, Thos. Kelly, Esq., David Rogers, Esq., R. MeStavert, Esq., and many others of the same stamp. As an absolute fact, every leading man in Summerside—with the exception of Messrs. R. T. Holman and A. MeMillan—-was a member of the pro- cession with which Dr. Tupper was hon- ored. ‘That there may have been some bankrupts in it is not strange—seeing

that the term of the Grit Govern-

gion and eflects of the public measures and poliey which have engaged the attention of our politicians since the era of Confedera- nWith those questions and with the course of Legislation resulting therefrom no man, in our opinion, has been more patriotically identified than yourself ; and we have had ample evidence of the ability, wisdom and tact with which, under various and difficult circumstances, you discharged your cuties as one of Canada’s most eminent statesmen. In your native Province we find your name associated with Free Education, Law reform and other proceedings that have left their impress on the Country, and place you in the front rank of the many gifted sons of these Maritime Provinces; while “sa arhia-

more extended arena ol the "at ment and Cabinet of the Dominion, you have been commissioned with

higher trusts, and have always been found a jual to their demands. s

To the period during which Sir John A. MeDonald filled the position of Prime Min- ister of Canada, we revert with a sense of

—

‘Island? ‘The election of Mr. years ayo shows that the elect: rsof (Jueen’s County (at least) do not think sv. One of these men——Mr. Thomas Coftin——has sat in the Cabinet for five years, and has received $45,000 of the public money; but he has never said a word in Parliament, or contri- buted a single idea towards the advance- ment of the interests of the country. [sa Government composed — of such men as this worthy of support / They know that they have forfeited the con- fidence of the people. And the proof that they know it, is found in the fact that they passed by their own supporters and offered to Tilley and Archibald renewals of their Governorships, and that they offered My. King a Judgeship—in order to keep those centlemen from opposing them in the polit- ical field during the coming contest.

But apart from the question of men (and of all other minor questions), there is 4 question of the first importance to the peo- ple —the question of the ‘Tariti 3 and that question Doetor ‘Tupper unhesitatingly asks the electors to decide in favor of the

satisfaction and regret—satisfaction when we reeall the state of prosperity which marked the general trade and pursuits: of the Dominion, and with regret in realizing the fact that this prosperity should have been succeeded by so “reat a depression as that which has prevailed for the last four years. ‘To whatever causes this unsatisfac- tory contrast may be ascribed, we entertain a confident hope that a change for the bet- ter is rapidly approaching; and in you, sir, we recognize the able advocate of a system of commercial regulations that will be en- dorsed by this Dominion, and as_ best de- signed to promote the welfare of its inhahit- ants.

The audience now before you, are assem- bled from different parts of our County to hear, as far as practicable, from this plat- form, your views and recommendations upon the important fiscal and other subjects now receiving the anxious consideration of electors in all the Provinces. And permit me to say, that amongst this audience are young men who gratefully remember the fact that you, though specially entrusted with the guardianship of a particular dis- trict, were ready at a moments notice to as- sert the larger privileges of the true Repre- sentative whose constituents are not con- tined to the limits of mere localities. The young inen of Prince Edward Island are in- debted to you for an eloquent vindication of their sfatusas a body of intelligent elec- tors. When their rights in this respect were assailed in the House of Commons,and sought to be wrested from them—when threatened with political annihilation, they found in you a prompt and generous defen- der, and though overpowered in the struggle by numerical force, you are none the less entitled to their esteem. ‘The demonstra- tions of respect which have greeted you on your present visit to: this Province, attest the fact that we are not unfamiliar with your past services.

May you and other good and discreet men of business. be shortly summoned to Ottawa, on a mission that will inaugurate an improved administration of public af- fairs and to this end Prince County stands ready to offer her assistance.

The address was supplemented by two magnificent boquets—presented by two of the youngest of the fair sex on the platform.

Dr. Tupper first expressed regret that his yoice was not equal to the great theme he was called upon to discuss. Then he thanked the Liberal-Conservative electors for the address; and alluding to the fact, stated therein, that he had passed some years of his boyhood in the vicinity of Sum- merside, he said that if the kindness of the reception he had received, on the present oceasion, was any indication of the way he would have been treated had he remained,

ment—now nearly over—may be truth- fully, called an Era of Bankruptcy. That there may have been in it some who sellliquor isno proof that every man in it was not far more honorable and respectable than the cne who wrote the words quoted avove. In point of fact the reception of Dr. Tupper was a great credit to the Liberal Conservatives of Summerside ; and, taken as an indication of the enthusiasm animat- ing them, their victory on the 17th of Sep- tember is assured.

After partaking of a banquet at the ‘‘Franklin House’ and enjoying a short rest, Dr. Tupper was escorted to Ludlow Hall—which was speedily packed. In our judgment the number present was much larger than when the Premier spoke ; and the Patriot estimated that there were then present an audience of a thousand. The platform was graced by the presence of a large number of ladies; and also seated upon it were the following, among other gentle- men: Senators Montgomery, Howlan anc Haviland, Hon. John Lefurgey, M. P. P., Donald Ferguson, Esq., M. P. P., William Campbell, Esq., M. P. P., Rev. Ronald McDonald, Cornelius Howatt and Edward Hackett, Esqs. (Liberal-Conservative can- didates for the County),C. B. Saunders, Esq. , Alfred Schurman, Esq., Thos. Kelly, Esq., and David Rogers, Esq.—-the latter of whom occupied the chair.

Thomas Kelly, Esq., on behalf of the Liberal-Conservatives of Prince County, presented and read the following

ADDRESS : To the Hon. Charles Tupper, C. B.:

Sin,—In the name of the Liberal-Con- servatives of Prince County, we cordially welcome you to this Western Capital of our Province, in the neighborhood of which, as many of us can recollect, a portion of your early years has been passed.

lake eur fellow-countrymen throughout the Dominion, we are deeply interested in i's material, social and political condition,

he regretted that he ever left it. He paid a high tribute to the influence of the ladies; and gave several instances, drawn from his own experience, of the beneficial exercise of it in elections. Then he referred to the allusion of the address to his services in ‘* protecting’ the franchise rights of the young men of this Island when those rights were attacked by the Government and un- defended by our representatives in the House of Commons. He gave great credit to Senators Howlan, Haviland, Haythorne and Montgomery for the noble stand they took in that (on the part of the Government and our representatives) scandalous matter. This is a time when all, young and old, should combine to drive those men from power and to install better men in the posi- tions of trust and responsibility they now hold. The leaders of the old Liberal party of the Maritime Provinces are the friends and supporters of the Liberal-Conservative party ; and every supporter of theirs should now be found in the ranks of that party, fighting the battles and promoting the in- terests of our common country. The ques- tions now before the people are higher and grander than party, for they concern the whole people; and as they are decided so will be the prosperity or the adversity, the advancement or the retrogression of this great Dominion. Me had arraigned the Government of ‘* Purity” on the floor of Parliament on the charge of having, at the eve of an election, given out of the

iwith the policy pursued by the late Govern-

a

policy propounded by the Liberal-Conserv- atives. The policy is, in_ brief, identical) ment—and under which the country pros-| pered in an unprecedented — manner. lt is a judicious readjustment of the tariff, 30. distributed that the burden of taxa- tion shall fall more equitably than it does at present ; that the various indus- tries of the country may-be fostered ; that ‘the Inter-Provincial trade may be stimu- lated; that Reciprocity may be brought about. Why should there be any fear of such a judicious readjustment! Is the tax

on tea, which falls heavily upon the poor and lightly upon the rich—s. sacred that it may not be touched? Can the tax imposed by Cartwright upon certain shipbuilding ma- terials not be removed with advantage at least to the Maritime Provinces. May not inany other taxes now imposed be taken.off with advantage to the whole country ! And if taken off, how will the country be more heavily burdened by increasing, in a corres

ponding measure, the duties upon other articles of importation, and thereby giving advantages to these concerned in the indus-

tries of our own country! It is said that

the adoption of this policy will lead to di- rect taxation. The fact is, that if the tariff be not judiciouslygre-adjusted, direct taxation must ensue. For three years there have been heavy deficits and the money required to carry on the public affairs of the country must be made up some way. [Lf the tariff be not changed, it must be made up by Direct Taxation. Under the present tariff the sugar industry has been destroyed, and the West India Trade has followed in its train. "Under the pre- sent tariff the tea trade of Canada has been

transferred to the United States, and Bos-

ton and New York have been made the Commercial Emporiums of this country.

Under the present tariff, the capital in- vested in Coal and Tron Mines has been unproductive, and many of the men em-

ployed in those industries have starved and

gone away; because, in the one case, the United States has shut our coal out of their markets, and in theotherthe iron manu- facturers have slaughtered their goods in our markets. The Liberal-Conservative party pro- pose to change this state of things. They pro- pose to make it the interest of the United States to grant Reciprocity; they propose to lower the duties on raw sugars, and thus en- courage the establishment of refineries, and thus promote a direct trade with the West In- dies; and thus stimulate a domestic coal trade and thus give employment to the shipping and to the men of this country; and in this way,

foster the various industries of the country “now so sadly depressed.”

We regret that we are unable to follow Dr. Tupper in his lucid and eloquent exposition of the National Policy. The Doctor spoke for three hours. He was repeatedly interrupted by a Mr. Cairns (not Mr. Thomas Cairns, whom, we are proud to know, is one of the most enthusiastic of Liberal-Conservatives) ; but he treated the interrupter gently and courtesly, and at last succeeded in silencing and, perhaps, convincing him.

When the Doctor sat down he was saluted by a salo of genuine applause such as we have not heard for many a day.

R. Mc Stavert moved, seconded by F. Me- Neill, Esq., and several others, a vote of thanks to Dr. Tupper for his address. The vote passed unanimously. Enthusiastic cheers were given for Dr. ‘Tupper, Sir John MecDon- ald, the Queen and others; and shortly after nine o’clock the meeting adjourned.

A spose train, provided through the kind- ness of the Superintendent, brought the Char- lottetonians home last night ; and Dr. Tupper left Summerside this morning in the steamer for Shediac,

Dear Sirn,—I have just got home from a small party caucus we had to-night among ourselves. I think, so far as Clifton Polling Division is concerned, we will be able to do pretty well. Things look at all events bright- er here than they did. We are going to work in good shape, and will canvass every man where there isa ray of hope. I drop you this note just to try to urge you to renewed effort. Let every Reformer put his shoulder to the wheel. Get the Lairds, Dickiesons, Moffats

He had: charged the men pledged to oppose coali- | tions with having coalesced, for the sake of office, with men who had been life-long Conservatives. He had challenged those men in Parliament to point out one promise they had made that they had not broken-- one principle to which they stood com- mitted that they had not violated ; but the challenge has never been accepted. And | are these the men to be again invested with | power, especially at such an important’ crisis in the affairs of the country as the | present. These men had seduced the rep- |

resentatives of the Island by a seat in the! Cabinet—of which the Island was deprived —as soon as it suited their purposes. Are

those the men to receive a renewal of con- |

and even the Brown boys out to the meetings, and ii they can do nothing more they can cheer the Reformers and hoot down the Op- position. There is work for all.
