Combe, as mayor of the town, welcomed Mr. Bennett in a falw graceful words.

BENNETT • on -behalf ofthe Association presented Mrs. Trewartha with an. armful of flowers, which she received with graceful thanks. Slie said she re- ceived them for all the• ladies, as all had co-operated in making the gath- ering a success. Mr. Ford, e<iitoe of the London Free Press, introduced thel speaker of the evening. He fits congrat- ulated, the people of Clinton, espec- ially the ladies, on the wonderful supper provided. Ile thought they must have caught all the chickens in Goderich township to provide sur amply for all. He expressed himself as proud of the honour of 'introduc- ing Mr, Bennett who had a policy for all of Canada. and who had ability and enthusiasm, which would ensure john.suceess in carrying out that pokey, as he felt that when the op• portunity carie the people of Can- adawould put stint in the position to do so Before Mr. Bennett could cani- meliee his.'addrees, Mr. Morgan Ag- new played a cornet; solo, aecompan- icd'by Mrs. Agnew, on the piano, and while he was playing, two little maid- ens, Pearl Elliott and Gertrude Hol- mes, came,' up with a lovely basket ,of flowers which•tlhey presented to Mr. Bennett, each dainty maid being re- warded by a • kiss. Mr. Bennett said he understood there were before 'shirr some who 'were not of his political faith but he hoped he would not say anything to hurt but that perhaps by the time he was finished they might question with• themselves as to why they were not. HIe said the Conservative party had always been the construes. tive party of Canada. It had taken the lead in •bringing about Confed- eration; it had brought in the other h Dominion; 't provinces into the Domini m, r. had built the railway which, had bound the provinces together. These were all important constructive achieve- ments and ,had policies policies of the Liberals been 'followed in many eases these ends would not have been achieved. Ile thought Canada was selling too many If her raw uback products and buyingtoo much • in the way of finished products. The consequence was that the people of Canada were obliged to go out of the country to find employment. He quoted figures to sltaw that in the ease of dairying and fruit growing Canadian iedu&tries were being' smothered by lack : of an adequate tariff. If Canada was to retain her economic independence, she must a.d- ;just • her .tariff so as to encourage industry and so give employment to her 'omi people, rather than to the peoples of other- countries. If his party is returned to power he wilt see that such measures are enacted. "Protection is not an end in itself," he declared. "It is but a ineans ' to the end enabling Canada to build use her awn country, to provide her own pedplo with employment in their own country.". ' "What would have happened,I ax pres- ent, ask my Liberal friends whop ent, had the Liberal policy allnolrne ed when Mr later Sir,Welfred Laur- ier, carte' into power, the policy' af`- Continental Free Trade, been acted upon? What could a country o.f' 10,000,000 do with free . ttlacle ruin h one of 110000:000? "Canada is' asking no' ;favours,' Mr. •Bennett said. "She but asks a chance on equal term; to build up her • country in her own way." At the conclusion of the address• a vote of thanks was moved by Mr. Spotton, seconded by Mr.,Elliott and'. heartily endorsed bV the assembly. All ••the •arr:angemelrts for the banquet were carried out very sinoothiy. The supper was excellent, inuoh tastier than one often finds at ,so large an affair, and was well and efficiently served. Messrs. Bartliff and Crich were the caterers, Mr. Ber.tliff looking after all the details. biers Titoelf.
