Opportunely enough a couple of meetings were held in the interest of the candidature of James Grieve, the popular representative of North Perth in the House of Commons, and the nominee of the Liberal Harty in the coming election, Both meetingswere successful beyond measure, anti it is safe to predict that they will exert a good in- fluence when the time comes for the peo- ple to record their views through the medium of the ballot -box. The feature of the day was the powerful address de- livered by Sir Richard Cartwright in ex- raignment of the policy and administra tion of the Government. Sir Richard was expected at the afternoon meeting that was held for the particular benefit of the farmers, but he was unable to get to Listowel in time, and there was consider- abledisappointmentinoonsequence. But he was at the evening meeting, and in his most forcible vein he discussed the issues now before the people. JamesMoMullen, M. P., Dr. Macdonald, M. P., and Mr. Grieve delivered stirring and convincing addressee. Among the well-known men in attendance at the afternoon meeting were : William Keith, Jas, Wilson, W. G. Hay, Thos. Henderson, Jan. Perrin, Alex. Brown, John McKie, Chas. Ovens, Wm. Shearer, Wm. Dickson, Seth Doane, John Briebin, Jas- Brock, D. D. Hay,. Jas. Duncan, Robt. Cleland, Wm. Hew- ett, Thos. Faulkner, Val. Wilker, Henry Leslie, Jacob Gatsohene, Albert Doering, John Keyes, John Dickson, Geo. Hamil- ton, John Klub, Tohn Campbell, Adam Burnett, Samuel Corrie, Thos. Neilson, Samuel Burnett, Jas. Gray, John Chap- man, John Hughes, Jas. Davidson, James Grady, John Welch, Jacob Tennant, Jas. Porter, John L. Turnbull, Jas. Shearer, Samuel Laggart, Louis Mittleholtz, Louis Veitenheimer; Jae. A. Grail, Jobn Shear- er, Jas. Fenton, James Code and John Boatman. t The chair was occupied at the after- noon meeting by James Dickson, Reeve of Elma, who, in his introductory speech, extended a welcome to people of all poli- tical faiths. Mr. Grieve was the first of the speakers to be called upon. Discussing the trade question, Mr. Grieve reminded the andi once of the strong promises made by the anthers of the National Policy, and as- serted that not one of these promises had been fulfilled. It was a grand thing, My. Grieve said, to give the people 15, 18 or 20 cents per pound for their butter • but if the butter were sold at a loss in the old country markets of 4 or 5 cents a pound the mass of the people would have to make up that lose. Tho Government might go furtber, and buy the farmers' wheat at a dollar a bushel, or pay them 5 tents a pound for their beef and hogs. a If the Government were to put creamery batter on the market it should do it at its exist in fiscal matters, Why ie it they are afraid to Meet Ferheanent and let the pooVlo know how the acceent8 are stand, lug t ',Che reason ie these leen, net owing 80 oar fault but to their our Mie• mana pnent, kn ow t hat tiahave a i. ready Marred u deficit wthie seven Mentha as great as the deficit incurred in auY one year wader the Meehanzie Gov, srnreent, At the end of last year they had a dpfieit of 34,20,000 and if they go 00 ab the same ratio they will have to grapple with a deficit for the fiscal year of 5 or 6 millions, or as mush as three defioite of the 1tt Bencie Government. This is the reason they fear to meet either Parliament or the people, Laet election was run on false pretences, The Con• servative Government said they were ready to enter into reciprocalrelations with the United States and on tbeee prom, lees were elected. Their object now fs to delude e. large number of their followers as to what the true state of affairs is, He wished to call attention to the fact that, as in 3,878 when the Conservative party went out of power the Government ae their laet nob added a yearly expeudi- tune of $4,000,000 and without making any provision for the same, so now, they are trying the same game, and if the tido of war goes against thorn they will leave a preoione legacy to their oppouente. When the statement is made that there ie a huge dedoit in 1895, if the Conserva- tivee are out of power, and no doubt they will be, they will be the Drat to attack the Government in power for it, though they themselves will be at fault. Ile wished to draw the attention to one plank in the platform of the Liberal party, In 1891, it was advocated by the Liberate that every honest effort should be made to bring about reciprocity with the neighbor- ing country. At the eleventh hour the Conservative party stated that was their policy but up tothe present time, he could prove that no Honest effort has been made to bring about reciprocity since the Liberals went out of power. In 1888, 1889 and 1800 the Liberals in Par- liament moved resolutions in the House that an effort should be made to bring about reciprocity but the Government with their many supporters voted down and even refused to consider the question. with our neighbors. Although elected on that ory, the Conservatives did not want to have a reciprocity treaty. Tbree years ago, Mr. Fosterstatedin the House of Commons that by of recommending the subject to Mr. Blaine, Secretary of State, he asked Mr. Blaine how he would suggest that Canada should raise revenue for carrying the business of the govern - went. No wonder then that Mr. Blaine took Mr. Foster's measure and saw that Mr. Foster was not sincere and then did not care to consider the questionwithhim or with his party. We are not going to get advantages for Canada from a reci- procity treaty, unless- we can give the United States advantages in return. When the other reciprocity was in force both countries, he claimed, reaped ad- vantages. Canada does not come to the United States with empty hands but has advantages to offer in return for certain privileges. A treaty would be equally advantageous to both countries—to the five millions of Canadians and the ten millions of Americans along the border, Referring to one of the mottoes on the wall, he said he desired the maintenance of British eonneotion and no does the Liberal party. He has always advocated closer trade relations with the United States and in doing so he is advocating the best interests of Canada and conse- quently the best interests of Britain, for what would benefit the former would also benefit the latter. Reciprocity has nothing o do with dieorfmination. It means the sale by one nation of certain .special privileges to another nation and the inter- change of certain articles between two nations. It would be a discrimination if we gave to the United States privileges that we would refuse to the mother country, and if we did not get any privi. leges in return. He made this point that while we had no right to give any special' privileges with consideration to the United States without giving them to the mother country, yet we have the right to sell any privilege, to another country, taking in return certain privilegee from the other country. The Conservative party are willing to spendmillionstobring about trade with Australia, who are com- petitors with the people of this country in all artioles. The Australians are com- petitors with Canadians in cheese, butter nd meats. He did not object to the Auetraliane bringing articles here, but he did object to the Canadian Government axing the Canadian people to give the Auetraliane advantages to compete with Canadian products in other countries. Tho political economists tell us that in the United States, from end to end, they do not possess any land of snob value ea the laud bounded by the great lakes and the River St. Lawrence. Perhaps there is no man in Canada, said he, who, from hie early training, was more adverse to taking a position of making closer rela- tions with the United States than he until he found that such relations would be of advantage to Canada. From five years of official experience he was prepar- ed to say that if it were shown that Canada was prepared to enter into friend- ly relations with United States we would laud that the Americans were ready to reciprocate. There were arbitrations during the Mackenzie Government with the United States, though not -much time had been taken in settling them as was taken in regard to the Behring Sea award. He remembered on ono occasion whoa en Indian tribe in the Northwest border came nearly getting Canada into trouble with the United Status. The old way would have been to notify the Colonial office who would have notified the Foreign office and they the British Ambassador, who would have written the Governor. General of Canada. Instead of going abmit it in that manner, the Mackenzie Government Bent their. own Minister to Washington, and in 48 hours the question was settled. Not so with their successors. In 1880, the Americans seized some Cana- dian fishing boats and men and the matter is not yet settled. The Mackenzie Government had their award as well as the present Government has had its award, 11 the case of the Halifax award every man who eat ou the board' were appointed by the Canadian Government, while in the Behring Sea award only one sat as re- ppresentative for Canada, There wee no doubt but that the Canadians were bob in the wrong in fegardto the BehrinSea fishing but the Americans were to blame, yet it was decided that Meade should pay its owe conte though it Was proven' the Amerfeans had not the leastjuetikea. tion for their seizure. At the Halifax market value. The speaker arraigned the Government upon the charge of having shown neglect in the matter of the sched- uling of Canadian cattle in Great Britain. His specific charges were that the Gov- ernment had failed to appoint competent veterinary surgeons to inspect American cattle brought through Canada en route to the Old Country, that it had permitted the inspection of American cattle at the frontier after dark, and that, instead of appointing officials to escort the cattle ovor Canadian territory, it had entrusted the conductors of the stock trains with the duty of enfon:deg the regulations im- posed on the railway companies. Mr. Grieve exposed the pretence of the Minis- ter of finance that the tariff had last session been revised in the interest of the mass of the people, and showed that as a matter of fact no appreciable reduction had been made at all. Dr. Macdonald was given a most kind- ly reception. Before entering upon a consideration of' the political issues he paid a well -merited tribute to Mr. Grieve, who, he said; was among the most indus- trious workers in. the House of Commons, and a staunch champion of the interests of the farming community, of which he forms a part. Dr. Macdonald presented an impregnable array of arguments against the Government's policy, and in convincing language placed the Liberal program before the electors, who listened attentively. He wee followed by Mr. McMullen, who with characteristic force discussed the public questions of the day. J. A. Hacking, Vice -President of the Listowel Liberal organization, presided at the evening meeting, which wile most enthusiastic. The Town Hall was pack- ed to the fullest capacity, and many vain. ly sought admission' at the doors. Sir Richard Cartwright was received with tremendous applause. This is the time, he said, when its cuetomary for Parliament to be called together by the government and whyis it that they have not. announced whether a 000010n is to be held or an' election brought on ? The reason will be found ie the Canada Gazette from time to time, when the returne announce such a state of affairs award Caned, was given 05,000,600, load lead not as good a 0000 AS the Canadians had 44 the I3810210g Sea matter, l3etuen- iug to the tariff gttestioo he said it is a shame and it 000401 that 02080 sup end of 'Canada t i o 's a o the stile the m n wh a Other a mast Heavily taxed ie the ppor man, the laborer and the artivn.

That etoteineut he .wanted well ooneidered. He did not take the taxes on liquor or tobaccos, They, are voluntary taxes. He referred though to taxes on the nec- essaries of life. In England, the poor man is almost entirely free from taxoe- The taxee there are raised in three Ways ; one third is by income tax and succession tax, one-third on liquors and tobacco and the other third by customs. Of that, latter third only one.fourth le raised by the poor, The income tax and the suc- cession tax come wholly from the rich ; liquor and tobacco are not neceeearies of life. If the Liberal party were returned they would re -adjust the tariff so that the burden would r rest , more lightly on the poor . and more heavily on the =oh who are better able to stand them and to bring about more markets for the Cana: diens. Canada is a great oouutry, lie said, and has such resources that it has withetood such misgovernment ae would bane ruined any ordinary country, and Canada, to -day, is not as prosperous as it was nor as it should be; as an -evidence that Canada has not been prosperous as it should be, in New Brunswick,' the in- crease in population in ten years was only 68 souls. He failed utterly Mountler stand how any man can state that Can- ada is as prosperous as it should' be when although we have Ruch resources the population has not increased as much as the population of England and Wales. During the pant ten years, the speaker said he had asked almost every audience he.ap- peared' before if there was any person present from whose family there wann t some member inthe United States and he had failed yet to find that some mem- ber heal not goneto the other side. He did not desire so much to keep Canada to. Canadians as to keep Canadians to Can- ada. In the five years of Hon. Alexander Mackenzie's Government the ruralpop- ulation of Canada hadincreased 116,000, while in ten years of Conservative rule it increased by but 10,000. After allud- Ing to scandals that have disgraced the country and calling on the electors to return Mr. Grieve, the speaker closed a very able and interesting speech and took his seat amid loud cheers. Stirriug'addresees were also delivered by Mr. Grieve, Dr. Macdonald and Mr. McMullen. Upon the motion of Messrs, Scott and Hay, a. vote of thanks was tendered Sir Richard and the other speakers. 'Cheers were given for the Queen and for ,Mr. Laurier. Sir Richard Cartwright was accompanied from Stratford by Hon. Thomas Ballantyne, G. G. McPherson' and W. M. Obeirne. Testimony of Great Men.

GoesoN—"The snbjeot is one of great importance, I should like to see the existing number of policies largely extended. The practical value of life assurance has been fully recognized by members of the House of Commons, and I thick it diffieult to over-estimate the enormous advantages the system offers to the community. In. come tax has never been levied on any income required for the payment of a life insurance." REV. Plumes Bnooits—"I know no man who ought not to have his life in- sured except it be the wandering Jew. And perhaps for him some sort of an endowment policy would not be a bad thing, something that migbtlead him to lay aside for future use a little of that moss that Rosh a rolling stone as he had been must have accumulated, If' I may speak of my owe profession, I fanny there is none that profits so mush by the great work that you are constantly doing, as the profession of the ministry. Ministers, almost all of them, exist on starving salaries. Just as Boon ae they begin lite, and most of them begin early, families accumulate and anxieties in- crease; perhaps they are not tbrifty; they trust too largely in a greoious Providenoe ; their whole life becomes hampered. The work that they are doing, the truth that they are preaching, the relatione in which they stand, begin to be burdened and weighted down by the awful question as to whatis to become of those for whom they are responsible, when they themselves are passed away."

On the Sands Of Time.'f Looking at them closely it is not hard to be- lieve that some of them might have been made by ants, so very small their step and so crooked their way ; excitable little creatures that with all their hurry never seem to get anywhere in particular, and whose whole interest seems to be that of turn- ing aside from obstacles. . Others again, in the great length of their stride, remind one of the mighty jump of the kanaroo. They are evidently getting somewhere, and on reflection it occurs to o the observer that these must be the tracks of those shrewd merchants who 'got there' by jumping from one advertisement in Tnn 138USSl]Ls POST to anoth- er, and as we ponder their prodigious strides, these beautiful lines of the poet come to mind t Footprints that perhaps another Sailing_ o'er life's troubled main Some forlorn and shipwreekod brother Seeing may take heart again.
