PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND AND THE TARIFF.

(St. John Sun,)

Tt is said that Mr. Fielding will go to Kest Prince to try to persuade the people there to vote forthe Government candi- date. The Finance Minis er 18 the right man t> undertake the task, because be has charge of the tar ffand of the treasury. He should therefore explain, if he can, in what way the new tariff is making the Prire:

Edward Island people rich, and how far ve |

himself has improved on Mr. Foster as a guardian of the people’s money.

Mr. Fielding hae been heard in Prince Edward Island before, but not so often as his colleague, Sir Louie Davies. The story they told the people before the last gen-~ eral election is probably not yet quite forgotten, It wll be remembered how the tariff on farm machinery was described as an intolerable burden on the farm- ers, who were told that it wa: a'l for the benefit of a few bloated manufacturers in Oatario. The people were promised free oil, and great reductions in the duty on the cheaper cottons, which were represent~ ed a3 chiefly used by the poory The whole schedule of goods commonly purchased was repeated over and over with the assur~ ance that achange of government would relieve those articles wholly or largely from taxation and make them cheap. The people would pay less taxes, becan-e the government would be economical and would need less money.

The people of Prince Edward Island have had two and a balf years of the new government, and nearly two years of the new tariff. It will be for them to say whether the change has done them any good. They will know whether the goods they buy are cheaper and whether the pro- duce they is in greater demand at higher prices. The duty on farm machin- ery, asthey know, has not been reduced, The bloated Ontario of mowing machines, threshers has a far

than he had before. Heis now in par lament himself in the person of Mr. | Frost, the second largest implement

has had tariff con-

in Canada, and advantage of

Mr. Fielding, whom he supports him. oil duty has been reduced one whole cent, and the price to the Prince Edward Island farmer is exactly what it was before ‘the election. The duty on the cheaper cottons has been made higher, and Mr Tarte recenty ly explained in an address at the Valley- field co:ton mills how he looked out for the interests of the cotton mills, and how he advised the owners to add to their plant. The change of goveroment has not made asingle urticle he buys cheaperto the Prince Edward Island farmer than it was before. Some articles, sach as tobacco, have been greatly increased iu price by the change of tariff.

The promises of economy have not been kept. The first vear after the change of government the expenditure for the ordins ary services ofthe country increased $1, -

manufactulee the profitable with

400,000. The second year they cost more than the first year. In the first five months of the third year the expenditure

was more than $800,000 in excess oft e outlay for thesame five months last year. It may be that the people of Prince Edward Island have not seen much of this expen- diture, but the public accounts show that

taxes to provide the money.

Some of the people In Mr Fieldiag’s audiences may remember that they were to get new markets for their produce as a

result of a change of government. Noth- ing of the sort has happened. With all

the discriminating taritf and cther tariffs no new ™.arket has been found for asingle article which a farmer or fisherman has to sell. Mr Fieiding has given the alvantage in the Canidan market to Great Britain,

CaLepon1an CLus.—After the adjourned meeting of the Caledonsan Club held last

evening inthe Club rooms wes closed,a programme consigsilng of pipe music, readings, speeches and songs, prepared bv the literary committee, was rendered in a first-class manner by the members present, and very much enjoyed by all. It was also « led that the annaal Burns Concert be held on the 25:h Janu- ary vex!, and a commitive was appointed. The next entertainment will take place

imomediately after the regular meeting on

the 26th inst, when every membercf the Ctub should be present. icnaeatiidnsal bs Things to Make a Note of “The old woman who lived upon victuals and drink” will be at Mother Goose’s Market in St Peter’s Hall next

Prince Edward Island produce of the same

kind. Noother which has now, or bad} for a time, a preferens from Mr Fielding has given a preference in return. Tue policy of the liberal conservatives was preference for preference, within the ' empire. That proposition was made by | the late government. I: was adopted at the colonial conferecce on the motior a Mr, Foster. af vas almost carr :t the chambers of commerces and bosrds of | trade of the whol: empire. Itwill b | brcught forward again by the next gov- | ernment of Canada,and we believe

tbat | Great Britain wii! yet adopt ir. | But for reasone that Mr, Fielding may explair . if he likee, frid Laurier has thrown the of Canada ag sinst | that policy. He opposed itia the country wheré i.:5 3up.ort Was most recessary. Sir Wilfrid Laurier deciared at the jabilee conference of premiere that Canada wanted no advantage in the British market over foreign countries, Instead of asking the British peop'e to favor our products over those of the United S:ates or other com- peting countries. Mr Fielding’s leader ad. vised agsiost it, Sir Wilfrid and his col- leagues have a right to speak for Canada while they rule it, acd naturally the Bri-; tish perliament, the Australian parliament } and the Governments of the British West Indies take them at their word. They all} continue to place Canada cn a level with : foreign and even hostile countries, since | our ministers tell them that this is what | Canada wante. So it has come about!
