Already there are rumors of an early Session of Parliament and it is stated that the Ministers are even now I busy drafting new legislation. Wheth- l er this rumor is literally true or not, it is certainly not surprising that the , idea should have got abroad even in [ the Opposition press, that the Govern-" ment is ready and even impatient tol, meet Parliament, that they may give an account of their stewardship. Their ( record so far is a remarkable one and substantial additions are made each l Session. When the time comes for the ': country to pass upon thatrecord, it will i be one nnparallelled in tie history of l the Dominion. ( The fruit of two years labors. 1 Since July 1896 the Manitoba school question has been peaceably and per- ( manently settled, though when taken l hold of by the Government it was j threatening to smash Confederation. l The tariff has been revised and adjust- l ed, and reductions have been made as l far as the existing conditions of com- merce would tor the time permit; a l substantial preference has been given l to British trade, which will ofnecessity l not only Operate to the mutual advan. tage of the old Country producer and Canadian consumer, but will also de. velop and strengthen those Imperial ties that are today so much better appreciated than they were not long ago. These ties have been further tightened by the inauguration of Im perial penny postage at the direct in stigation of the Canadian Government. Where money has been saved. As repeatedly promised during the campaign the, Franchise Act, has been abolished, and a saving of 9200,000a you r effected on the voters list revision; while in its place has been enacted an ‘economical and effective law, which 3prior to 181m had always provedjust andsutisiacttry. The introduction or up to-dale and economical business methods have been introduced into the various Departments of Government, whereby large savings are being eti'ected; as for instatmc in the Post Lilice Department., where the defieit of l two years ago of $700,000 has been practically extinguished, while at the same time, the operation of the De- partment have been improved and ttmplitied in every direction. The civil service superannuation scheme has been reorganiZed and hundreds oi thousands of dollars saved to the country. Improved 'l‘ransportation Facilities. The remarkahle revival of trade and the general wave of prosperity that the country is enjoying called special attention to the necessities oi improved transportation facilities, and recognizing this the Government in- augurated many public works upon cogent, practical and connected lines, for the iurthera nee of rapid and econom- i ical transportation, and the opening up A PROMISE KEEPING GOVERNMENT ot' new territories and connecting them with the older settled portions of the country. Foremost under this head is the important work of deepening the canals of the St. Lawrence system which will be completed next spring according to anti-election promises, at the cost of Over $10,000,000. Supple- mentary to this, extensive improve- ments have been undertaken, with the assistance of the Government, in the harbmr at Montreal, and when these are completed the largest ocean vessels will be accomodated, and the head of ocean navigation in Canada made equal to all possible requirements for many years to come. The Inter- colonial railway has been brought into Montreal by the utilization of existing facilities, and through freight retes have been reduced by awarding the carrying contract to the lowest bidder. Greatly improved steam boat commun- ication has been effected between Prince Edward Island and the main land and better transportation facilities pun into operation as Halifax and St. _ Somuchfor the east. In the the o'ovetnpert.ha? secured tho the Government has secured the open-' ing up of the Kmtenny country with all its mognilic'eqt promise and bound- less possibilities by the construction of the Crow’s Nest Pass Railway at a costi to the country of but $1,000 a milel bonus, instead of a $25,000 as it would inevitably have been under the arrangements made by Six Charles Tapper. Bat not only was $14,000 a. mile bonus saved, but a. substantial reduet'ou in rates in east-bound freight had to be conceded before the bonus was granted, and this will leave from s5a1000to $750,000 per annum in the] pockets ot the farmers that has hither-) A =- n... milwnv, The provision P""'"" '7 . to gone to the railway. bhn. Two Years ot Steady Progress East and West. OUR OTTAWA LETTER. 537-3 In the west as well. The provision In the west While the expenditures have not gone down as many had hoped they might, there has been no reckless extravagance and the output has been kept so well within the income that at the' close of two years the Financial Minister can show a surplus of over one and ontrhalf million dollars. Still more important is the fact that every dollar used has been spentin the public service; the very thorough investiga- tion undertaken by the Opposition in the Committee Public Accounts failed to show one cent go astray; there are no Langevin Blocks, Curran Bridges and Section B Scandals to provide for and defend. Not only has everything been done as detailed above to open up the country. bat the practical and eftieient work of the Immigration branch of the Depargnent ot the Interior is bringing the pil ple into the country in unpre cedented, numbers, the figures given in this letter last week being tsuffieient evidence of that. In another direction. viz.. the far distant gold fields. devel. opment has also been very rapid but the details of this particular matter are so recent, and so thoroughly well known that further mention just now( is unnecessary. _ The crowning achievement. [ This is a list of achievements with which any Government might be satis- fied after two years in power, especially when their accession to ottiee followed two decades of vastly different methods and work, but in addition to all this the present administration can point to the (Quebec Conference now delibera- ting as one of the worthiest and most ‘ momentous achievements in the history (l the Dominion. It is an outcome of their statesmanlike policy, in develop ing Imperial interest in Canada on the one hand, and vastly improving inter- national relations with the United States on the other, that such a Con- ference has been made possible and the accomplishing ot the purpose for which itmet, rendered probable Had nothing else been accomplished, this alone would constitute a record that would place the Liberal Government ahead of all its predecessors. that all competitors shall have the right of way through the Pass renders impossible the introdaetion of that monoYely which has so hampered and ream ed the West in the past. More- over the fixing of a maximum price for all coal taken from the Crow's Nest mines insures cheap fuel for the smelt- ing industries that are springing up through that district and prevents the possibility of injury from monopolies and combines.
