WI:GT do the intelligent eleotore think of a' campaign built on the No, 6 Pamph- let and the bogus Globe ? Hon. Ma. PATTBEeoN eaya 4 million dollars less isbeiog taken from the people now than on the duty oale:Ration of the Conservative Government. 0,000,000 is quite a good eized pile too. Tun Preferential tariff of 84 per oent not only lowers the price of goods from Great Britain bet oompele a similar re. duction in German and American goods coming in competition with British pur- chases. Dn. G. R. Parkin, March 10, 1900, at the banquet of the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society in Toronto said :-"A Frenoh•Oanadian Premier had the other day made the noblest epeeoh ever de. livered by a colonial Minister." Tun removal of the quarantine reetrio- tinus between Canada and the United States by tbe Liberal Government bee Wormed the exportation of beef cattle to the United States from 4,000 bead in 1806 to 90,000 in the present year. No farmer with his eyes open ebould kiok about this condition of affairs. The Laurier Government is the friend of the farmer. Ray. G. M. Milligan says : "All men ehould be dealt with on their merits, not on their professions, It is a pity that this needs to be eaid at this time of day. No enlightened Protestant will mix up religion and politica. Regarding Sir Laurier, be is an honor to Canada, and I bope and pray Canadians may appreoiate him, not when it is too late. Tim Opposition prase in some quarters now admits that the people of Canada did wisely in 1896 in overthrowing the Tapper government and thereby punish- ing them for their miegoverntaient of publics monies and offices, but of course these same papers think they have been punished long enough and should be put bank. It is quite improbable that their request will be granted on Nov. 711i. Gra JIq]9wAIg, 08, Cenneiller, of Hen- sell, has entered the field in Sattth Huron ae au independent Liberal in apposition to John McMillan who bee been mernbor for several borne, The probtbllities are the Conservatives will not put a man up thie time but leave it to the two Liber, le to light, it oat, Rev. Prof. Clark Bays ; "I admire the personality of Sir Wilfrid Laurier very much. A. to hie being a Roman Clotho. lio, bow could that be need against him ? Sir John Thompson was a Catholic on the opposite side of polities, and he be- came a Premier. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is entitled to the same ooneideration, These creed oriea are not to be commend. ed, for how can we live with each other unless we exeroiee mutual toleration ? " Wan fine weather next Wednesday there will be a big vote polled tie doubt. We venture to affirm that the Government of the brilliant etateeman, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, will be once more returned. Canada bee prospered wonderfully ander Ilia careful administration of aflaire and ba deserves another term. H. 19. Coots has nob yet given the name of the person who asked himfor $10,000 for a Senatorship, although Sir Wilfrid Laurier challenged him to produce the proof, Hon, Clark Wallace said be thought Hon. Mr. Fulford, of Brockville, had "put ap" for bis Beat, but the Brook. Ville man says Wallace ie "another" ea be wan never asked for a dollar. What's the next campaign lie ? tee- No graveyard vote in next Weduea. day's eleotioc nor will the non-resident vote be allowed under the existing law. This to rigbt. Many thousands of men ran far and near to poll from 2 to 6 or more votee on eleotion day under the old eyetem and many a corrupt ant was traceable to the eyetem. The Opposition press kick about the Voters' list of 1899 being used because that of 1900 was not revised in time bat not many years ago a list twine as old was taken down at one gulp without scarcely a wink. The liras are not prepared in all the Provinces at the same time hence there will nor be a complete uniformity at any season of the year. Where 1900 lists were revised in time they will be utilized in this election. wk. 11111110=1•1110M Ia the 1896 aampaign the Tay canal or John Uaggart's big ditab, ae it is not un. frequently designated, was ane of the useless and extravagant expenditures charged home to the Tupper Govern. meat and strenuously defended by the now Opposition. Things have been changed a little however, and tbe other evening Hon. McKenzie Bowell, ex Con. eervative Premier, and Hon. Mr. Braggart met on the public platform and there were wigs on the green. Mr. Haggart's ""ditoh" was in evidence. A few incidents of this kind should prove to a demonetra. tion the correctness of the ground taken by the Liberals in the 1896 canted. Mr. Bowell was rather knifed by Sir Charles and others of the Cabinet then and he called those opposed; to him "A neat of traitors." The Hon. gentleman is a Senator now leading the Oppoeition forces so he is noteaying these things to help the Grit party by any means. TUE South African war drags along wearily owing to the guerilla style of war- fare. Lord Roberts' pacific measures appear to have no influence upon a few of the Boer leaders wbo are busy foment- ing the strife. Lord Kitchener's more drastic style of treatment will have to come next and although it seems hareh to some there appeare to be no other course open to put a stop to the inenr. reatione, Mr. Kruger, when the U11and- ere went to him with their petitions, said :-"Cease bolding meetings and be satisfied. Go bank and tell your people I shall never give them anything ; I shall never change my polioy. Now let the etorm beret." We guess Oom Paul has come to tbe conclusion that it was a bigger hurricane than he figured on. It is hoped that before the olose of Novem- ber peace will prevail. A large army will have to be maintained for some time no doubt to preserve British and Utlander intereaba. 38 aim -mob expenditure with a revenue of 30 million under Ooneervative rule was bad bookkeeping for the Dominion and some of the expenditaree far from being in the interest of the public but under Laurier, while the expenditure bas gone up, end necessarily so, the revenge has climbed to 00 million. This ie surely the growing time and yet the finance Minis. ter is able to report a morphia of 10 mil - hoe. The question of the amount a man spends should always be considered with whet bie receipts are and the same rale ebould hold good with a Government. The Ioteraolonial railway ; the Crow's Neat railway ; the deepened canals ; the coat of fitting out the ooneingente for Africa, &0„ are among expenditures that should be endorsed by every loyal Canadian. When a man tells you the Grin Government's expenditure wag so many millions ask him what the revenue was and you'll spoil his little story. judgment of the Tupper t(loverpmonb, eupposing they were sleeted, on the question?, We deu't belisveany Govern, meat elm or will pass Prohibitory legit• tattoo on tbe noun) of that l'lebieeibo vote. IN their next term tbe Liberals will reetore the ooestitaeucies to their regular County boundaries, es they should be. It would have been done in the past term if the Senate, whioh has still a Coueer- vative majority, bad not thrown it oat. Wby were Usborne township taken from Huron and handed over to South Perth and Exeter and Stephen pitch. forked into North Middlesex 00 ? Simply because they gave Ooneervative majori- ties. North and South Etothope are oases in point in North Perth who by their Grit vote were transported to Oa. ford Co. The Tory Senate kept Sir Wilfrid from fulfilling bie pledge along the line of squaring up the badly carved oonstitnenoiee. With a proper redistri- bution in this Province the Liberale can win the race i0 a canter whereas it ie now a big fight awing to the unfair gerry- mander.

OUR OTTAWA LETTER, Too znITIS0 Nen THEM. "Pamphlet1 o. 6" quotes Sir Wilfrid Laurier's words in Loudon in 1897 when be declared that if ever tbeempireehould be in danger the colonies would be ready to help and adds "this woe a solemn promise and it was kept." Then follows a furious tirade against the Premier for hie practioal loyalty and hie imperial policy. It is too Britian for the don- pllere of Pamphlet No. 6. Sir Charles Tupper repudiates Pamph- let No. 6 in Ontario, where it would never have been heard of but for the Liberal prase, bat he carefully avoids re. pudiating it in Quebec where it is in• tended to a000mplieh its sinister purpose. Seat a straightforward 000ree is too British for Sir Charles Topper. Sir Charles Tapper inveighs against the Laurier preferential tariff and de. mantle a quid pro quo wbiob he knows perleotly well is unobtainable at the present time. The Laurier policy has tnoreased Canada's trade with Great Britain over 100 per cant: in three years. Ib is too British for Sir Charles Tapper. Sir Obarlee Tupper has an anti-imper• ial pro -French polioy for Quebec, and an ultra -imperial anti-Frenou polioy for Ontario and the Neat. Through bis lieutenants be is vainly endeavoring to revive religious strife also by telling the people in Quebec that the Manitoba school question ie not settled, though hie own right hand man -Hugh John Maa- donald-deolaree in Ontario that it is. Sir Charles will not lift a finger to aeeiet in the work of welding together yet more strongly the diverse elemente of rape and creed which exist in Canada. Such a 000ree would be too British for Sir Charles Tupper. Sir Hibbert Tupper took oocaeion to make all kinds of chargee against the oouree of the Minister of the Interior in 000neotion with the Government of the Yukon, and against the personal and of. ficial character of those charged with tbe administration of the country. He has not dared to repeat three charges outside of Parliament where the courts could reach him, nor bas he withdrawn his unproved allegatione made in Paolia. mens. Such a course would be too British for Sir Hibbert Tupper. Mr. Footer comperes the partial ex. penditure of 1896.96 with the full ex- penditure of eabeegnent Liberal years, and be also denies the authenticity of his own estimates prepared for preeentatiou to Parliament had his -own Government obtained a new lease of power. He re- fuses to oompare Grit and Tory expendi• tures by the same rule and oondibione. Saoh a mane would be too British for Mr. Footer. Hugh John Macdonald is an ultra. protectionist in Eastern Canada, bot in Manitoba he is a free trader in all mat. tare where free trade would catch the farmers. He would take the last of the duty off agricultural implements, though both Tupper and roster have deolared for an iooreaee. He dare not face the farmers of Manitoba with the policy he supporta down East. He is Dot content with one consistent policy far the whole Dominion. Baoha course would be too British for Hugh John Maodouald. Oandidates supporting the Imperial Government in its recant appeal to the eleotore did not hesitate to claim credit to the Government for "the almost un- precedented prosperity" the country is enjoying. Tory campaigners ridioule and indignantly protest against any snob euggeetione on behalf of the Canadian Government. Such an idea is too British for the Tories. H. H. Cook, an ex•Liberal M, P., chargee the Premier and his oolleaguee with personal oorraption and malfeasance of office but offers no proof whatever. The Premier on behalf of bimself and his colleagues moat apeoifioally and categorically denies the charges and challenges proof. Tory papers the country over publish the charges, and requote them in every conceivable form of editorial comment, ae if they are eon- viooingly proved, but they give no prom- inence whatever to the denial and ohal. lenge of the sensed. Such a oouree would be too British for the Tory press. The Ottawa Citizen denies that it ie neoeseary for H. H, Cook to prodaoe any proof of his charge of corruption ; let the Government prove its innooenae. To oonsider a man innocent until he bae been proved guilty is too British for the Ottawa Citizen. The Mail -Empire imolai the stodsnbs ot Toronto, and indeed the young men of Canada irrespeotive of any party, by alleging that they were paid 76o. eaab to tarry torches in tbe Laurier proaeeeion recently. The etudente indignantly deny this of course, but equally of course the Mali has not withdrawn its false- hood and apologized. Saab a acerae would be too British for the Mail -Em- pire. The electors of Canada will refuse to turn out aernro nt o that G v o ba has proved Itself capable, honest and progressive to put in its plane an aggregation of men without a polioy upon which they can all agree and with a eeoord of corruption Sumooersa the Laurier Government were overthrown on the Prohibition question at the forthcoming eleotion what then ? Will Sir Charles Tapper and his foilowera peen the cause ? Are distillers Corby, of Hastings Co„ and Seagram, of Waterloo Co., bath Conservative candi- dates, likely to give Prohibition a boom ? What Temperance legislation did the Conservative party give in their 18 years of office ? What about the 30 Conserve. tive M. P's who voted against the Prohi- bition question in the last Government ? Tun Poen stands for Prohibition but we don't expect to see it until the electors are ready to aid in the enforcement of existing laws by voice, iuflaenoe and money if necessary. The Privy Council has already Bald the Dominion Perlia- meot cannot legislate for the Provinoee in Prohibition mattere, In the Plebis- oite taken Quebec Province gave an ad- vents vote and of amuse no wise man would expect to gee Prohibition steamed there with public opinion arrayed against it both in and out of the House. In Parliament there area dozen different kinds of temperance men. Hon. Clarke Wallace for instance will only vote for Prohibition if remuneration is made to every man wbo is engaged in the liquor busineea, &o. It is all very well to stir up o "notion" over the question but a Calm ooneideration of the sobjeot will ehow atm at any man that many barriere yet remain before Prohibition will be at- tained, and when itis reached then the real Light begins in earnest. If the Plebiscite was a mandate from the peo- ple to the Laurier Government it stands still to meet the incoming administration Whoever they may be.

He did not tell hie audience however that the late Tory Government refused year after year to pave an alien labor law at all, though the bill was introduced by their own supporters ; be did not tell diem that the present Government wee Ihefiret to aeaot such a measure of protection to the Canadian working man ; that this Government was the first to provide machinery for making the act effective, and the first to nee that machinery.
