The issue between the two politi-
1 parties . on this question is now
ai'ly defined. -

rather than accept the plank in the
Liberal platform of unrestricted

the United States, I assisted in my

equivocally repudiated by the people
of Canada at the polis, they being un-
compromisingly .hostile to any policy
that savors of unpatriotic influence in
the relationsbip,whieh unites ns to
the motherland. The Liberals have
as I understand, wisely accepted the
verdict, and the question of unre-
stricted reeiprocity or commercial
union has disappeared from the arena
of practical polities. Now that the
Tion. Wilfred Laurier has declared
openly for the rejustment of the
tariff upon wise and conservative
lines, and not with the view of de-
stroying the industries of the country

of the people is strongly in favor of a

have been so Blade as to prevent a
fair expression of the opinion of the
country at the general elections, mid
to secure to the party now in power
a strength out of all proportion
greater than the number of electors
supporting them would warrant. To
put an end to this abuse, to make the
House of Commons a. fair exponent
of public opinion, and to preserve
the historic, continuity of counties, it
is desirable that in the formation of
electoral divisions„county boundaries
should be preser.v&1, and that in no
case parts 'of different counties should
be put in one electoral division.

in my lot with the Hon. Wilfred
Laurier, believing that he will ad-
minister the affairs ot the country
with wisdom, honesty and patriotism ;
and will advocate a strong, vigorous
immigration policy, which may be
the means of populating our western
Provinces and bringing back some
return to the people of Canada for
the millions they have already spent
in opening. out that fertile country.
This will certainly be a great means
of stimulating and assisting in the
prosperity of our manufacturing in-
dustries in the east.
",Furthermore I believe the Hon.
Wilfred Laurier will make every
effort to secure reciprocity treaties
upon fair terms with all nations,

ing the trade of the Dominion and
place us in line with the motherland
whose tremendous trade to -day is the,
envy and jealousy of the civilized
