The Liberals talk of cheap raw material. tender their policy 88,478, - worth of it came in free in one year, Whereas under the Conservative policy gm free imports of raw material were V9,095,363. The advantage of cheap- ness semns all on the Conservative side. x Wilfred Laurier at the Liberal con- vention "I preach the gospel of absolute destruction to protection. Not etwestige shall remain.' The absolute destruction of protection would reduce thousands of wage earners in Canada to pauperism, and make everyone poorer. Mr. Laurier may preach such asospel, but be will never have the chance to practice it in Canada. Under Free Trade as the Liberals leractice it, Canada imported in 1878 raw material for manufacturing pur- poses to the value of $8,882,200 where - ate under a protective policy the im- eiortations of raw material in 1894 iters $23,285,334. Every dollar's worth material so imported afforded ad- eznployment to Canadian labor. x Sir Oliver Mowat is coining, says the Montreal Gazette, to St. Louis de '13-Onziegue in this province, to speak with and in behalf of Mr. J. Israel Tarte, the Liberal candidate in Beau- barnois. Mr. Tarte is the man with strhom Mr. Pacaud divided $10,000 °b- razened from Mr. Whelan, contractor Mr a Quebec Government building, by means of a threat that if Mr. Whelan did not pay Pacaud, the Government would not pay Whelan. Mr. Mule's =true, as a maker or endorser, was on ezver $20,000 of notes paid by Mr. Pa - ad, out of the $100,000 extorted as the price of transfer by the Quebec Liberal Government of the provincial anlisidy to the Bale des •Chaleurs rail- way. The courts have declared that by that transaction the Provincial tireasury was robbed It was robbed ifteget, tnoney to pay the election ex - emeses of Liberal candidates for Par- liament. When Mr. Tarte, actor in and beneficiary of these transactions, appears on the political platform with Stee Ontario Premier, the two charac- thristics of present day Canadian Lib- cralisin will be personified. They. are corruption and hypocrisy. + ++ Those who are dissatisfied. with Messrs. Hutchins and Priam/if because of their vote on the Remedial Bill, -should pause and consider. Had they vetted against the Bill they would have Been unworthy of the suffrages of the electors. They were elected to aupport the Government, and did so, and took a solemn oath to uphold the aonstitution of tbeh country, and in tliis too they stood true to their pledge. For these reasons if no other they are entitled to the support of every loyal °teeter in the riding,. But how about M. Lanrier? On March 3rd, (see Han - wad 27560 he charged th e Govern ment with introducing "a half-hearted and faint measure," and Mr. Brimeate one *this Quebec lieutenants, in the same debate, said: I shall vote a,ga,inst the Hill, because it is incomplete and does not milder justice to our fellow vometrymen." Other Liberal speakers followed in the same strain, and it is a pletuk in the platform of the Liberal party ill Quebec that if they get into power a 'more drastic measure will be introduced.

Cartwright Indiscreetly Makes an Avowal That Shows the Anti -Canadian and Arlo. British Party In its True Light—As to sir Charles. When, nearly five years ago, Sir John Macdonald wept over to his fathers, the very Grits who bad spent their days in vilifying him were constrained to ac- knowledge that he, more than any other Train, had done his best to cement the provinces of Canada into a great nation. It was Sir John's intention that Sir Charles Tupper should be his successor. In 1891 it was impossible for the great Nova Scotian to accept the premiership. He was doing noble work for Canada in the office of Higli Commissioner to Eng- land. a rbe X.lneal stiecesstor. Now Canada has for a First Minister the naan whom Sir John intended for the post. Be is the lineal saccessor of the greatest statesman that any British colony has ever seen, The Right Ron. Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, was among the first to congratulate Sir Charles on his acceseion to the premiership. None knew better than Mr. Chamberlain that Sir Charles on account et his intimate acquaintance with fiscal and Tanperial questions, was the most eligible male for the post. What Sir Charles Abandoned. Slurs, unmerited and ungenermis have been cast at Sir Charles. He has been amused by the Grits of selfishness. In what respect has he been self-seeking? The salary and allowance for expenses of the High Commissioner amount to four. teen thousand dollars a year. The salary of the Premier of Canada is eight thou- sand dollars a year. The truth is that Sir Charles aban- doned. six thousand dollars a year in or- der that he might lead the Conservative party to eictory against the Liberals, headed by Mr. Laurier, the friend of Honore Moreier, Count of the Holy Roman Empire, and the most corrupt politician that this country has ever seen. It would be well for Canada if she had more "selfish" politicians like Sir Charles Tupper. Oar Trade With Great Britain. In 1879, the Grits said: "If you cheek imports from Britain in the interest of Canadian industry,. you will check our exports to Britain; buying less you must sell less." This formula, like a good many others. has been knocked on the head by the actual -results. In 1873 our exports to Britain. were $89,000,000. In 1878-9, after Ave yeahs of Gritinixing and muddling, they had dropped to $36,000,- 000. In 1895 they had risen to $62,000,- 000, an incre.ase of 70 per cent. Tho Na- tional Policy did it, Why Mr. Make Left Them. For months before the elections of 1891 the Liberals talked of the "Sixty -million market," that is, the market of the United States. They were prepared, when they got the power that they sought and that the peeple -withheld from them, to discriminate against Eng- land and in favor of the United States. Their ex -leader, Hon. Edward Blake, said so in his address to the electors of West Durham. It will be remembered that Mr. Blake refused to run bceause he considered the Cartwright -Laurier combination to be coinposed of men who had not the interests of Canada at heart. If he had had confidence in the present Liberal leaders Bon. Edward Blake would have remained in parliament. Said he: "Reciprocity without an agreed assimilation of duties is an unsubstan- tial dream." And these men, Cartwright & Co., talk abut being loyal! They could not have secured reciprocity, for .Teenes G. Blaine's idea, was to starve Canada into annexation. He would hare had tho 50 - valuable aid of Laurier, Charlton, Cart- wright &, Partners, if the Liberals had been victorious. Since 1891 some of the Grits have de- nied that they want reciprocity. Some of the more sensible members of the party —but they are not "good Grits"—may not want it. Their leaders, mad with love for the States, do want it. At Sarnia, March 6, 1896, Sir Richard Cartwright said: "We must find you bet- ter markets, and we don't propose to look Lor them by preference at the .A.ntipodes. We do propose freo trade with all the world as our ultimate goal, but we will be very glad to secure for you free trade with The Rest of This Continent. as an exceedingly comfortable instalment on the way." Not a word as to England, or as to furthering Imperial trade. Not a word as to the increase of our exports to Great Britain of grain, of timber, and of meats. All, all Is for the United States. All is "looking to Washington," to use the favorite expression of Mr. .Edward Farrar, the paid writer of Grit literature. The Meknes and the Grits. What do the Ainerica,ns think of their friends Laurier and Cartwright? Every- body has heard of the New York Sun, the most rabidly Anti-British daily news- paper in the -world. The other day the Sun contained an eulogy of the Liberal& and a denunciation of the Conservatives. This is what it said:— " Tho Tory party is the party of Brit- ish connection and the 'Old Flag.' Its sentiments are always vociferousiy pro- claimed. Hatred of Yankees is its boast and its watchword. The Liberal party is in its fundamental tendency continental, And Inclined to American connection. But the Liberals, or rather the Liberal politicians, aro afraid to show their feel- ings, and perhaps disguise them from therbselves. They even allow themselves to be neurally coerced into uniting their quavering voices to the roaring demon- strations of Tory loyalty. This is their weakness, and it will probably in the coming struggle tell against them once more. The strdggle, however, will be at bottom one between the Annexation and the Anti -Annexation • idea. If the Liberals win the Governinent of Canada, -will be friendly to the United States. If Sir Charles Tupper and the Tories win it will be hostile to us. Canadians, beware of the friends of She annexation New York Simi Thwart the designs of the men "who are inclined to American connection." Show them at the polls that this is a British Country and that the party that looks to Britain and not to Washington Is the Canadian party.

And Tot Their Ontario Followers Deny the Truth—Who Leads the Grits, The Eel- toweris dr the Leader e The Grit newspapers throughout the land have simulated delight at the news that Sir Oliver Mowat, Ontario's Premier, will aid their leeder in the eamprogn, They neglect to point out that Sir Oliver has given Mr. Laurier very faint-hearted aid. At first, with a great flourish of trumpets, the Liberal press announced that Sir Oliver would resign his seat in the Ontario Legislature and would run in some Ontario constituency. But the Premier was ton far seeing to take any chances. He declined togivenp his seven thousand dollar post in the Ontario Gov- ernmeen and anrienne.ed that in the event of Mr. Laurier's attaining power he would enter the Senate With this SKr. Lander was fain to be content. Re tried his best to conceal his disappointment, but in his speech at Quebec it was evident that he had ex - Rooted. to -have something better then a mere promise from Sir Oliver. Re had anticipated the active aid of tho Premier of Ontario. The French Liberal press ex- presses joy at Sir °liter's incoming. The Electeer (Lib.) said on May 5:— "The despatches from all parts of the country indicate that the determination of Sir Oliver Mowat to jOID Mr. Laurier in the Federal arena is received by the Liberals with joy unbounded. "Li is uQW, they say, not merely a hope, but an absolute certainty, that we shall have a signal triumph, "There Is no doubt that Sir Oliver is the only man capable of Squelching the Orange Lodges. and the P.P.A. in Ontario. "What will the Tories Fay now? Thus we aro shosvn that Sir Oliver's mission is to prepare and make ready the way for the remedial bill that Mr. Lau- .rier -wants introduced, and that he has promised. In Quebec', May 7, he eafel: "I believe that the minority in Manitoba should have all their rights, and not only part of them" Teo leader of tho Liberals meant that the demands of his organ, The Electeur, should bo gratified. That journal objected to the Remedial bill became it required the separate schools of Manitoba, to be inspected, the teachers to be qualified by passing a Government examination, and the text books to be authorized. Mr. Laurier said in the House of Commons: "God help my poor fellow -countrymen if all the help they are going to have is what the hon. gentleman (Sir Charles Tupper) and his followers are prepared to give them. I pity my poor fellow -countrymen of Manitoba or anywhere elso if they ex- pect any justice front the hon. gentleman. Repeatedly has Mr. Laurier pronounced in favor of complete remedial legislation, i.e., legislation which shall re-establish the schools as they were prior to 1890, without any inspection, without 'any ex- amination of teachers, without any guarantee of efficiency. The Government's bill providea for all of these things. And that was why Laurier and his friends voted for the slaughter of the bill. Mr. C. A. Geoffrion, M.P., is one of She prominent Liberals. Said he, in the debate on the "I ani just as anxious as hon. gentle- men opposite aro that justice should be rendered, and. that our Constitution should be respected. But Imost emphati- cally say that this bill, which I have now before me, does not render justice, and I am most decidedly in favor of voting the six months' hoist, because the acceptance of such a bill would be a delusion and a denial of justice. It has the label of a Remedial Aet, but I do not see the remedy. . . As this bill, if passed, will, in nry opinion, exhaust tho remedi- al legislation which is to be introduced pursuant to the order adopted by the Government, it will leave the Catholics of Manitoba in a worse position than they would occupy if this bill did not pass." What litr. Laurier Seeks. Again, Mr. Laurier said: "I am certainly in favor of remedial legislation; -but where I differ is with regard to the methods to be adopted and the procedure to be adopted" Listen to another Liberal, Mr. Carroll: "Mr. Speaker, I am against this law, because it is going to cause irritation without relieving the minority. I am against this law, because I think it is an appeal to expediency. 1 am against this law because I think it is the death -blow to the French language in the province of Manitoba. I am against this law be- cause I do not think that this Govern- ment, even if they were sincere, could render justice to the minority while they command the Tory phalanx behind them. Not a Strong Enough 13111. Mr. Geoffrion said: "I shall vote against this bill, not because I an opposed to remedial legislation. On the contrary, I stated lust year that I had no confidence in the promises that were made on behalf of the Government by one of the Ministers; but I have a strong faith that our leader will bo able to suc- ceed where the Government aro sure to fail. I have full confidence in inyeparty, and not only in the leader of my party, but in his lieutenants. , I oppose this bill precisely because I feel that if we were to pass it to -day, it would put an end to all possible chance of re-establishing separate schools in Manitoba." Mr. Laurier's only supporter from west of Lake Superior is Hon. Joseph Martin, the author of the Manitoba School law. Mr. Laurier has said many a word in • praise of Mr. Martin. He has also said that tbe Manitoba School law is persecu- tion. That opinion was given to an au- dience of French Canadians. But, Mr. Facing -both -ways Laurier had another opinion for the English-speaking Protestant people of Canada. When the Dominion Government, in a mild and . politio manner, asked Premier Greenway to deal with the question, Mr. Laurier ordesed the Premier to send in a reply which had been drafted by Attorney - General Sifton and Mr. Laurier. In this document it was stated "There has been no wrong committed." Which Mr. Laurier are we to believe? The one who speaks in Quebec or the one that talks in Ontario? Doubtless the fonner. By religion Roman Catholic and by nationality French, the predilections of the Liberal leader are all in favor of separate school.

SIR RICHARD CARTWRIGHT AND HIS FRIENDS THE GRITS HAVE A SUPREME CON- TEMPT FOR THEM. 2 A Iron, Facts and Figures That Will Con - wince Thinkers That Their Interests 'Would bo 'Unsafe in the Mande of Lau. rier's Incompetents. A French Liberal editor, who was seized vvith an unusual flt of frankness, told us last March how Tarte and the hungry orew of French Grit boodlers stood "with their ladles ready to get st, tho soup that Laurier will give them when he shall bare attained power." The truth was in that sentence. But Mn. Laurier won't be banding out soup wheu the elections aro over. He'll be in it biluself. Nine out of ton of the Freneh Liberals hate the Conservetives beeause they are the Loyzaist party. Limn to what the Frexieh Canadian editor of La Patric. Laurier's organ in Montreal says: Hatred of England and everythingeBrit- ish sticks out in it; in this Good Grit editorial:— "Everyhoey has noticed that Joseph Chamberlain, who pretends to be tbe entire English Goverinnente has sent a cablegram to Sir Charles Tupper con- gran:lacing him upon becoming Prime N.I711.11.017. "Mr, Chamberlain has reason to bo satisfied, because Sir Charles is his crea- ture and his factotum, and it is he who has bought for our Government a million and a half of rifles that Chamberlain has ou hand. Sir Charles is hero to represent and protect the interests ot England, not those of Canada, beav in mind. "Sir Charles' mission is to lead Can- ada to Imperialism, the policy of fortifi- cations and guns, simply on account of Emelt: nd. "e:ow you know why Gbamberlain is Flat leiod that Sir Charles is Primo Min ister," It Le pleasing to be able to say that half a dozen prominent French Conserva- tive newspapers have resented bitterly this attack on Britain. Once upon a time Sir Richard Cart- wright paid his cotupliments to the farmers of Canada. "The bast way to treat the farmers," said he, "is to let them compete with the world. If they can't do that successfully, they deserve nothing at our hands." What did that mean? Itmeant. Let the Canadian market be flooded with Yanken Produce.

Probably ho holds the same opinion as he did in 1893 when he made tho speeola above referred to. The great farming class of Canada knows better. In North Waterloo, Ont., the Grits have put up as their candidate E. W. B. Snider. Only a few short months ago Mr. Laurier, who had sat in the House of Commons and had applauded Sir Richard Cartwright's remarks, sat on the same platform with. Candidate Sni- der, and heard him say that tho Protective tariff, ntherwise the Nation- al Policy, could not be dispensed with. There are too many hard-headed Can- adians living in Waterloo to allow Mr. Snider's giving them any such rot as Cartwright inflicted upon tho House of Commons. The trouble is that Snider is a Protectionist. He can no more be a Protectionist and a Liberal than he can be walking and standing still at the same time. Probably Sir Richard and Mr. Laurier would like to read Snider out of the Grit ranks. He preached what they consider a damnable heresy—Protection for the Country, and the Giuntry for Canadians. "The Yankee prodnoer is glad to get fifteen cents a bushel for his pota- toes," the patriotic Liberals cry. "Why should our fanner get, as he does get, five cents more? Down with 3 the tarlffl What's good enough for the Amer - leans is good enough for our people." Yes, the policy of the Government is responsible for it all. The Liberals are going to change the state of things—they say. But the farmers of Canada are going to take care that Laurier, Cartwright, Tarte, Pacaud and the Quebec Mercierites won't get it chance to ruin the country. The Liberals ask the farmer to vote for them, to abandon his pre-emption on the Canadian market, and to receive the sheriff with joy while the Yankee farmer fattens an the spoil. "The sheriff?" says somebody. Yes. So the United States consular agents say. In their reports to the Washington au- thorities the American Consular agents stationed in Canada united in saying that free trade would render it impossible for the Canadian farmer to come down to the American scale of prices. Now, these Consular agents ought to know whereof they speak. They are salaried experts. They had no fish to fry. They were Instil -Kited by their Government to enquire into the probable effect of free trade with Canada. And they reported as above. They saw, as the farmers of New York, • Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan, see, that there is a market ready for them in Canada whenever our tariff walls shall have been thrown down. And it is the dream of Laurier's life to throw them down. "We want Free Trade," he said at Winnipeg, and has said a hundred tithes. He has said another thing that is quite true. It is "I Om not a business man." The Liberal leader never said a truer word. And so, by his own admission, being it lawyer and not an authority on business matters, how comes it that he should attempt to advise the farmers on their affairs? The answer is easy. Lanrier and Cartwright and the rest of tho aggregation of incom- petents that head the so-called Liberal party, needed a cry. Anything would do, se long as it was a campaign cry. They have 15, and they are weloome to it When they find their own candidates re- pudiating it they will decide that it weuld have been better had they clung to their old policy of: "No Policy Except to Get at The Treasury."
