The conse. quence is that great prosperity attends every department of enterprise.

In fact, Sir, that statement—thoug been made Secretary six weeks earlier ; but | | now he must wait till a new Congress can | | be hastily assembled out of season, after the | | campaiga shall have been we!l nigh its cul- | ; Inination. - | We havea leader of the House of Re. | |presentatives who honestly believes that | | Congress may by statute make its irredeem- | j able paper issues, however boundless in vo- |lume, equal to gold, dollar for dollar, and | who deems it right and expedient to make ‘it acrime to exchange coin for paper at |other than their nominal rates respectively Of course, he cannot believe that there is | any need of retrenchment or economy ; since | | Congress, upon his theory, can at any mo-| | ment replenish the treasury by the easy ex- | |pedient of issuing a billion of greenbacks jand decreeing that they shall be deemed ‘fully equivalent to so much gold. We have a Congress wherein the idea of | frugality has no place—wherein the sug-| gestion of retrenchment is accounted pveriie or demagogical. If th’s were not so, how} should the whiskey-gamblers have e:eaped | taxation last winter? Why should not the! twileage swind:e have been arrested? Here | come two Senators from Nevada to serve $10,000 each—or over $300 per day—ou' | of the Treasury therefor, We do not) blame them for this; for we presume they will take exactly what the law allows them; we are reprovieg the law itself, and the| maker of the law, which is Congress, A | regiment might be paid the money, due it tor its last six months’ service out of this monstrous grab. And;svhile there is to- day at least one hundred millions due to our sgldiers for their severe winter's cam- paiguing, which Mr. Fessenden would glad- iy pay if be knew where to get the mouey ; we have the Llouse stopping the Deficiency bill to coerce the Senare into adding twenty per cent. to the legal compensation of its balf-employed and generously paid under- lings, aud a Senator gravely proposing an | increase of the pay of members from $3,- | 000 to $5,000 per anaum. { Men and brethren! you are fearfully | stretchirg a cord that will snap one of these | days and let a good many iuto the mud.— Be entreated tc forbear!

But, though the | bation will never repudiate its debt, it may | properly repudiate those who wastefully, | wantonly augment it. Andit seems to us) the most obvious dictate of even the coldest | members, as I had before told the Canadian patriotism to resist every prceject that would increase public expenditure under existing circumstances. Make frugality the rule jn! every depariment of the public service, and | we can increase the pay of every soldier, | every officer, every functionary, by increas- ;aess throughout the world, and its power thirty days in this Congress, and take some | , | aii my co-Delegates froin the Island, we were ition that, out of the subsidy and capitation |grant which we, the Delegates of P.

No English bouse is consider. ed complete in its arrangements until a certain amount has been set apart for ad- vertising. It is quite as much the custom ia France, many Frenchmen having accu- mulated famous fortunes by this one means alone. The fact is that advertising has be- come a great science and auxiliary to busi- is increasing daily. Very few business meno have any just idea of the real value of advertising asa legiti- mate help in their efforts to suceced. They are aptto look on it as the tool of the ad- venturer, But the utter falsity of this is abundantly proved. The experience of those meu Who have tried it largely is that no in- vestment so profiiable can possibly be made. [t is the surest, easiest, aud best way to in- crease business. It must be done with energy and skill, and great persistence, and the reward will be certain.

Mr. Coles’s Speech continued] As early as possibly after the arrival of our self-invited—but on that account no Jess honered—gnests, the leading men of Canada, who came hither at the time of the holding of the Conference of the Maritime Provinces here, and who were courteously allowed to be present in the Conference Chamber during the discussions of the Conference, I took an oppor tunity of giving them to understand that, unless—in the event of a Federal Union of the Provinces being proposed—it should be agreed to by them, as a preliminary arrange- ment, that Prince Edward Island should haye a special and free grant of £200,000 Sig., that is £300,000 currency, to enable us to buy up the proprietary claims, they needed not, | thought, expect that we would consent to enter into the Federation; and, in the propriety and justice of this proposed pre- liminary arranzement, I was happy to find they expressed—on the grounds of the rea- sons adduced by me in support of it. —a fulland ready coneurrence. But when in the Convention of Delegates at Quebec, this demand, on behalf the Island, was brought forward and urged by myself, sustained: by ussurd by the other memvers ur the Conven- grant, we would have means sufficient to bay up the proprietary claims; and that it was unreasonable in us to expect that more should be conceded to us. I shen told the opposing ministers in Charlottetown, that, unless they should consent to make us the special intended to convince us that the terms of Union proposed to us are jast and liberal— is sufficient to convinze the plainest under- |standing that they are neither just nor liberal, inasmuch as, financially, they would | be very greatly to our disadvantage. Under Confederation, the Hon. Colonial Seeretary tells us, that we shall have at our ‘disposal annually, for the encouragement of } Education, the sum of about £20,000. But for this most important of all subjects, if we keep out of the Confederation, we shall have at our own disposal annually a much larger sum; and this I will shew in the form ot a simple rule of three questions. Our revenue, out of Confederation, will, no doubt, in a short time amount te £70,000 per annum. Lf out et our income, under Confederation, which according to Mr. Pope's calculations would be £48,000 a-ycar, we would be ablo to devote £20,000 a-year to the encourage- ment of Education, Low much would we, with a Revenue of £70,000—which will shortly be ours out of Uonfederation—be able to devote to that purpose? The answer to the question, will siew that if we remain out of the Confederation, we shall, before long, out of our present Revenue, have it in our power to devote «9000 more to the en- couragement of Educacion than we should be able to assign to it out of our fixed income, under Confederation. L hope that the cor- rectness of this view will be sufficient to con- vinee our District Teachers how much more they will study the advancement of the general interests of the country, with respect to Education, as well us their own individual profit and standing in society, by opposing the Union with all the influence they possess, in their several localicies; than they would do by taking up, and propagating, the ex- travagant notions propounded = some of our Unionists about the enlar field, for the exercise of their talents and the gratifi- cation of their ambition, which would ba opened up to our youth under the Union. The assertion that we shall be benefitted by a saving of duty or: starch, soap, and gin, oron any other articles, in trading with Canada under the terms of the Union, isa mere fancy: and indeed the idea of our trading with Canada at all is positively ri- diculous. We have nothing that we could send to them, and peither have they any thing to send to us which it would be for our benefit to bey from them. We cannot send grain to Canada; and, even -should the the Reciprocity Treaty be abrogated—the abrogation of which, | may observe, would be much more injurious to Canadian inter- ests than to ours—we could much better bear a heavy. duty cn our products export- ed to the United States, and trade with that country, than purchase Intereolonial free trade by entering the Union on the basis of the teras laid down !or our acceptance in the Report of the Que dee Conference. The Hon. Mr. Haviland has told us that the great Anicricaii Revolution originated in thirteen of the old Colonies having refused to pay stamp duties o to purchase teas on which a duty was levied by the British Par- liament. This reference of the hon. and learned gentleman to the fact of those old Colonies having refused to pay stamp duties, happens, however, to militate not a Hittle against the drift of his argument; for a Island, sought to obtain, they might as well federation scheme ; and sof still think. It: is, however, fair to admit that the Canadians ing the waiwe of his stipend through an ap- | ought to be exonerated from a part of the preciation of the curreucy where:n it is paid | him, But to leave the curreney in delapi- | dation, and add millions on miilions to the} increasing salaries and. al- lowances on this band aud on that, what is ihis but io para'yzs the national ari, which holds the sword of justice over the Slave- cirrus fee y plunging badlong Q alsODui AUKTUD vy £ _——- ~~ fee — THE ROAD TO WEALTH-—AKT AND MYSTERY | Ov ADVERTISING. | Among all the business developments in| our country during the past few days, none has been more woudertul Verlising. than that of ud- | From the emallest begisuing it} has grown to bea mighty and certain power.

Colo- nial Secretary, Mr. Pope, having, no doubt, expressed to them his opinion thai without that grant the terms proposed were just and liberal to P. E. Islaid. [The above paragraph of the Ion. Mr. Cvuics’s speech was inadvertently overlooked , aod omitted from its proper place in the | foregoing part of it.] Li is quite true, Sir, as has been stated by the hon. and learned gentleman, Mr. Layi- land, that the first Resolution which was submitted to the Quebee Conference was It would have been and present and future prosperity of British Norsh America will be promoted by a Federal Union under the Crown of Great Britain, provided such Union can be effscted on prin- ciples just to the several Provinces. ‘The general principles «bserved in the lraming of the Federal Constitutior, are, | admit—with the exception of the Constitution of the Upper Branch of the Legislature—as far as circumstances would permit, in unison with those of the British Constitution ; and, so far, it cannot be denied, they are just to the several Provinces which it is intended the But when we enter upon a consideration of the details, we find stamp duty is at present levied in Canada, and should we become a party to the pro- bability be levied here alap; and, conse- quently upon every Bank Bill for £100 there would have to be paid a stamp daty of one shilling; and on the minor daily trans- actions of traders and the public in general, in which it is usual to give Promissory Notes ‘of Haad, there would be a stamp daty to pay on ail such notes for sums over £25.— This would be felt, by the public, as a most serious tax upon daily business transactions; \ and, indeed, scarcely uny tax could be im- posed which would »° more obnoxious to the trading and commercial portions of our community. The great probability that, under the Union, this tax would be imposed upon us, is not very likeiy, Ll think, to in- cline any of those amongst us who, upon other grounds, are directly opposed to the Union scheme, as laid down in the Report, to take a more favorable view of it. But taxation in that shape, Sir, is not by any means all the taxation to which we have reason to apprehend we will be subjected, if we enter the Union. In that event, in other ways, and mach more heavily, would we be | barthened with taxation. At present it is calculated that the public expenses of all the Provinces which it is purposed ehall be in- cluded in the Union, smount to £13,000,000 a year; and it has been clearly shown that under Federation, according to the extrayva- gant scale of public expenditure estabiished | in Canada, the annual expenses of the Fede- /ral Government will amount to no lessa ;sum than fifteen or eixteen millions of dol- started turward, and very soon it was found | them to be the very reverse at least as respects | lars a year, aod that amount must be raised tu be au urprecedented means of acquiring wealth, ‘Townsend, then an unkoowa phy- Prince Edward Island.

Aad fur this subsidy aud capitation grant we are, required to surrender our whole revenue, which last year amounted to £66,000, and as, for the last fourteen years been increa sing at the rate of 43,418 per annum. At this rate of increase—aad in all probability it will be greater—at the end of ten years, the Union, to at least of per cent) our annual revenue will be £100,280; and yet, with our revenue thus raupidiy increasing, we receive more, in lieu of it, from the General 160,000.

By sume of our Unionists, we are told that | if we do not go into tie Union of our own | free-will, Great Britain will force us into it. | Now, Sir, althongh we are only nee _ple, I do not believe that the Imperial Gov- ernment will ever act by us in so high-hand- ‘ed and arbitrary a manner. In the last century, Great Britain governed her Colo- ‘nies with too much *igor—with too much regard to her own views aod with too little |regard to their views avd interests.
