"What is the use of proclaiming in
favor of protection if we don't stand
for it," he exclaimed amid approving
Govi.?rnment cheers. "We should have
subsidies for shipbuilding and bountits
for copper refining and other related
industries
We don't want any reduction in debt.
Dash away and spend the money."
There we have the attitude of the
Government and its supporters ex-
pressed in a very few words.
Elected with the unstinted assistance
of the Big -Interests on the poliey of
High Protection the Government stead-
fastly adhere to the idea that theie
must be no lessening of the taalff bur-
dens upon the people. If there are any
important tariff changes, they hold, it
mint be in the way of tariff revis'on
up vards. That is the idea Mr. Ni:hol-
SOD had in mind. Rams the expression
of that idea which brought applause 1
f:om his fellow Conservatives. The

"DASH AWAY -AND SPEND."
The Conservative attitude in regard
to the sanitary of tariff protection all
around as a permanent policy and in
regard to lavish expenditure of public
money has been fairly well indicated
by members of Government speakers
and Government newspapers in recent
weeks. It remained for Donald Nich-
olson, Conservative member for Queens,
P.E I., however, to state that attitude
frankly and even bluntly when he spoke
inathe debate on the Address in the
Commons a few days ago.
—
shall be no tariff reduction, and the
Government accepts their will as law.
To quote the words of Hen. Mr. Pelle-
tier, Protection is to them "a sacred
principle." From such a party the
people of the Dominion can expect no
relief in the way of a lessening of tariff
taxation.
The other outstanding characteristic
of the present Ministry is extravagance
and recklessness in the expenditure of
public money. Mr, Borden and his col-
leagues spend prodigally and waste -
full.) • Hundreds of thousands of dollars
are squandered on works of doubtful
put.lic benefit though with a constant
eye to party advantage. Witness the
practical doubling of national expendi-
tures since the advents of the new
Administration.
T.he present is a time of financial
stringency in Canada, The revenues
of the country are falling steadily and
rapidly. The credit of the Dominion
has been impaired, a fact shown t y
Hon. Mr. White's recent experiences
when he sought to float another large
loan in London. The situation has be-
come serious.
Under the circumstances there should
be caution. There is waste and reck-
lessness, careless of the fact that the
present spendthrift tactics are preju-
dicing Canada's future. The Ministers
are sowing the wind and the people will
reap the whirlwind in more oppressive
tariff burdens, increased interest
charges, and in the conditions which
must follow from impaired national
credit and the waste of national wealth.
But still the government follows Mr,
Nicholson advice -"dash away and
spend the money; we don't want any
reduction in debt."
The 120 international unions affiliated
with the American Federation of Labor
will unite in making an elaborate exhi-
bit at the Panama -Pacific exposition to
be hell in San Francisco.
Good intentions are all right in their
way, but it takes constant use to pre-
vent them from getting rusty

How Good Roads
• will benefit You •
THEY BENEFIT THE FARMER, because
they increase the value of his farm; en-
able him to raise more profitable crops; his
cost of hauling will be low; he can reach mar-
kets when prices are best; his children can
get to school every day in the year, and he will have more
social life and better conditions generally.
1'11E1; BENEFIT THE CONSUMER, because they re-
duce the cost of living in proportion to what the farmer
saves, and by bringing new industries to the community,
en..ble a larger proportionate amount to be paid out in
wages, and with increased population, tnore amusements
Lnd better stores.
Public roads are commercial feeders of the city, and every
improvement of these roads means a greater prosperity
through increased agricultural production and greater stilt-
ulous to all industries.
Economical, Cmod Roach
Contrete roads are best from the mart and cheapest in the
end. They are free from ruts, mud and dust. They give
good footing to horses and easier traction to every class of
4hic!e, but most inaportant is the fact that they require
pr.toically no expenditure for upkeep.
