"Free food" .means free trade in

.natural products means : the removal
of the very corner stone of the sup-
er -structure of adequate grid reason_

buy in a protected market? The
Natioeal Policy aimed first of all to
benefit the ,farmer and the working-
man It proposed to benefit them,
and it has benefitted then', by caus-
ing industries to be built up through-
out the country, thus aeateting a de-
mand for labor, and a ho:nie market
for the farmer. This poiley, has been.
successful, It has given the farmer a
home market. It has maz $ this half
of this northern, contineiit.;,.a hive of
industry and it ha$ made the Canadi-
an workingman the most ' contented
and the most happy, and ,the highest
paid in the. world. To prove this, it
is not necessary to lean Oen illusive
statistics. We have a certain and in-
fallible proof in. the, rnovement of
population. Labour-never`,':knowingly
goes from a place of high wages to
a place of low wages. The fact that
men of all races; creeds .and sects are
pouring into thiscountryeaat an un-
precedented rate shows;: ere wages
are highest, where op,bunity is
greatest, and where thy; standard of
living is best. -That thita. ender of a
political party that .attriiriites to it-
self patriotic motives, eve* strike at
the heart of the policy "wlti;ch is re-
sponsible for thishappina1s' and oros-
perity of our people, is alliost beyond
belief Yet this is precisely what is
meant by the proposed 'bolition of
the tariff on natural prow h cts. For
there is ,not a shadow of. .doubt that
free trade in :natural, pro8;ucts, would
sooner or later-,ae follo ;ed by free
trade in everything.

ortirniAnication
WkiY, I
SHALL '- VOTE FOR THE
CANADA T1;MP,ERANCE ACT
I shall vote for it again. as 1 did in
the eighties because I believe it would
decease ,drinking and crime. Person-
ally '1 knew a ''umber sif honest oxen
who were ,greatly addicted to drink
but while the Act was in force they
didn't indulge because they thought
it dishonorable to' tempt "men to
break the law, The Act in those days
wasn't properly enforced for reasons
that do not exist to -day, and yet
crime and drunkenness decreased. For
instanc6, in; sixteen Municipal Count-
ies in Ontario that changed entirely
from License to the Canada Temper
ance Act in 1885 statistics prove this
statement . to be true. The commit-
ments .for drunkenness under License
in these counties were, in the y,ear
1883, 500, and in 1884, they were . 66
but in 1887, one of the two years in
which the Act was in force for the
whole year they were only 218, ,vhile'
under license again in 1890 they were
471, and in 1891,
367. In fact in each
of these 16 counties, with the except-
ion of .Oxford, where in the town of
Woodstock very lax enforcement , of
the law was the rule, shewed a splen-
did reduction of such, committments
under the Act, We. can all readily see
how a much' greater benefit will ac-
crue if we adopt the Act on the 29th
inst., since the Hon. Mr Hanna - has
promised the enfoitcement by the same
officials as "enforce.,the Local Option.
Law,
Mr. Geo. Johnston; Dominion Statist
ician, testified before 'the'" Canadian
Royal`- Commission,• which investigated.
the working of Prohibition, to the
following facts •in regard to a'group
of .nine counties in New Brunswick,
having within their ' borders such.
flourishing cities and towns as Fred-
ericton, Marysville, Woodstock, St,
Stephen, Milltown, Chatham, and Mon-
cton. and being in every way a group.
fairly representative of the whole pro-
vince in every condition. These nine
counties were under the C. T. •'A.
and tt or the ten years, 1882-91, though
they represented 61 per cent of the
population of 'the province they had.
only 38% per cent. of the criminalcon-
victions, while the other 39' per cent
of the population under License had
61% per cent. of the crime as indic-
ated bythe convictions, Does anyone
want more convincing proof as to the
benefits of the C.T.A.?
In. No. 9 of Mr. Ransford's letters
he asserts that the "Prohibitionists
are DOING THEIR BEST to IN-
CREASE the USE of INTOXI-
CANTS." It but shows (if he has
really written those letters) the kind
of literature he studies, viz., that which
is published in the selfish interests
of theliquor dealers and which fre-
quently shamelessly distorts the truth
and. putting it mildly, makes , state-
ments that are easily misleading. lie
quotes Gen.• Neal, Dow to the effect
that some- men had amassed fortunes
by selling rum since Prohibition came
into force in Maine. As to Dow
ever making such: a. statement, "I hae
ma doots," but we know that ,Dow
did say this before the Royal Com-
mission which investigated the work-
ing of Prohibition -in Maine. These
are his words :—It is quite safe to say
that the quantity of liquor sold in
Mainz ,now is not .one -twentieth as
wucl, as it was before, the law was
passed. It is quite within the mark
to make that statement. Portland is
the largest city in the State, and it
is within the truth to say that the
quantity of liquor sold there ,iow is
notone-hundredth of what it; was be-
fore. We had seven distilleries and
two breweries, and we had manycar-
goes every year from the West In-
dies. which the people brought over
for their own use. Now whatever
liquor is sold there is sold on thesly."
lie also said,—"Within, six -non
the after the enactment of the law
the jails in the counties, of. Penobscai
Kennebec Oxford, Franklin and York
were almost empty:' When I'visited
York jail, the keeper, as he put the
key into the lock, apologised for
keeping his -hens there. He had no
further use for the jail." Surely these;
,statements :lead as to believe that
Portland hasn't as many drunks as
Montreal, as letter No. 9 would have
use -imagine !
,Dear reader, vote for the C. T. A.
and blessing for our country. If the
liquor men thought the C. T. A.
would help their business they would
not oppose it, They know 'it injures
their trade. Wewant to save,our
boys ; the hope of Canada. t,

feet' right to think that a prohibitory
law is better, than license Taw, "but
THINKING SO, and SAYING „SO,
will NEVER MAKE IT SO. ;
We hear a great deal about nearly
all the crimes, under heaven, s being
traceable to drink. It is so easy to
make sweeping statements when labor-
ing under the concentrated fervour of
momentary high pressured excitement
of pulpited exuberance.. But the
truth is, •that a large portion of crimes
attributed to drink, are so charged on
account of the cowardice inherent in
ninety-nine per -cent. of criminals;.
who, willing to blame anyone or any-
thing but • themselves, when asked fox
the reason of their downfall, or what
is frequently the case, wishing to es-
cape the punishment due their sins
and to obtain pity irk the eyes of the
judge on the bench—whine out, `Your
honour it's all along o' the drink",
And in this way, one of the many
blessings God gave to His creatures,
has to be made the scapegoat of crim-
es innumerable.
Let us look at some independent
statistics: OUT OF 674 convicts sent
to the Virginia State Prison in the
ear 1910, 72 were ,irate' mperate
drinkers 252 were moderate drinkers,
and 350 or 52 PER CENT. were TO-
TAL ABSTAINERS. From this re
turn it is plainly shown that TOTAL
ABSTINENCE PRODUCES far
MORE CRIMINALITY THAN IN-
TEMPERATE DRINKING: And yet
prohibitionists lose themselves in rap-
turous prophetic utterance, when they
attempt to describe the millenial con-
ditions of morality, truthfulness,hon-
esty, love, charity and affluence that
will surrbund us, if we will only place
the country under prohibition.
THE CRIMINAL OF . TO -DAY
CANNOT DRINK TO EXCESS and
ply his trade successfully:
One more example of -how prohibi-
tion works. Statistics show that
PORTLAND, Maine, with apopula-
tion of 52,656 had ONE arrest for
EVERY 24 of the population for
drunkenness; .:MILWAUKEE, with a
population of *312 3025, in the same year
fund possessing -riga less: titan 2145 .sal
.00naathe city::that,?b.rews the ,,neer
thalr'.`,inade . Milwattlega .;famous — ;had
ofliy'"ONE arrest for- drunkenness out
of EVERY 142 of the population. This
is a fair comparison of prohibition in
Portland to license in Milwaukee.

FACTS THERE CAN BE FOUND
