Y eale ',befre the �ieigheirosc.to sP audience stopped, cheering. The Conservative leader stated that he and his colleagues would gather from the remarkable demonstration of faith and courage for the future and; there would be no faltering, until the. banner of victory had been planted oh the "ruins of the present mockery of a government at Ottawa:" Splendid loyalty had been shown throughout and Hon Mr, Meighen thanked his audience' for joining with him in welcoming the many promin- ent leaders who had :been guests of London Conservatives. This loyalty t was particularly pleasing when tlight shines so brightly and victory' y was so evidently near. He didn't propose to review the history—if it night be so described— of escribed'of the present administration now la power. It's chief mission has been to evade and escape responsibilities., He then described the manner at) which Canada's taxation had tngreas- ed by leaps and bounds, until to -day it stands at a level unequaled in any other country. Canada had taken her part in the war and ended triumph- antly. The burden of that war every Canadian bore with cheerfulness, but that did not explain the present debt, The Government had piled peace taxes on war taxes until business was shackled by its burden, Today the Do- minion had not only all the oltl fortes of taxation, but a multitude of new inventions, "And if ail)• of you know of any other taxation scheme, Mr. . Acigh er declared amid applause "then wire the Minister of finance at his expense and it will be included in the next budget." Canada to -day had a cost of living higher than any other, and the people were fleeingthe country to escape.. And tory givernment which failed to reduce the annual levy on the people by scores of millions, had no title to remain in power. "You were led to look for revela- tions of war recklessness, if not war graft, that would shake the conscience of the country. In this country, where some two 'billions and some odd hund- re.l t t Million.; had to he disbursed, c c new organizations had to be created and a new personnel chosen to see to the disbursements and in- terests of the people in methods un- known and unparallelled before, and in tinges of stress ,and strife; the en- emy has now been in charge of the books of the treasury of Canada for two years, and he is bound now to veal confess his utter incapacity to reveal to the public anything ygof dishonor of o r waste." (Applause) Following up Mr. Martin's remarks regarding the necessity of tariffpro- tection for farm products, Mr. Meigh- en ridictiled Premier King's conten- tion'that he could do nothing for lack of a majority in the House, when on the issue of tariff reduction he had Progressive backing—more than half the Opposition strength. The people know now," he said, "the whole tariff game of the Liberal party was a hoax and fraud from the beginning. I say more; it was so in- tended by the heads of the Liberal party, including the present Prime Minister of Canada. They had one appeal for the West, in tariff reduc- tion, and another for the maritimes, in pledged elimination of the Inter - colonial railway from the National System. This pledge was repudiated just the same as the tariff pledge to the West, and now'Halifax and Kent, N.B.. speak, and the whole of the Maritimes would speak if they had opportunity. The method in Quebec ca- different again. They painted Meighen as father of conscriptioi, and by this means and that appeal they now boast a solid bloc from that great province. They are not open- ing seats just 1100 in the Province of Quebec (Laughter.) If they do I venture to predict they will choose them with the utmost care. "We are only making a step, butt it is a step in the right direction," the Government says, I wonder what the fartners of the Dominion have a right to expect? Tariff situation is at the bottom of the commercial stagnation that to -day pervades the country. (Ap- plause). This government boasts of having moved in the right direction in relation to farm implements. Two and a hall per cent. off. Last year farm implements went up. Now no- tice is given of another increase, and all under the t per 2 cent. reduction /. ' given by the Mackenzie King admin- istration. istration, Canadian production has gone down and consequently the unit of cost has gone up. We have lost our artisans to the United States and increased prices to the Canadian con- sumer,. "Now we witness a sort of operatic the Progressive party in a 'bargain exhibition with the former leader of and sale transaction, in which, accord- ing to reports, he is prepared to auc- tion the principles, as he calls them, of his party in return for a seat itt the Government, but in which, on the other hand, the Prime 'Minister of Ca- nada is prepared to sacrifice the fun- damental interests of this Dominion in return for that treasure of support that will keep him iu power at the capital. (Applause,) I want to ask you whether in this City of London you find expansion of industries, Do you find increased employment, new capital coating in? If you do, you are as exception in -this Dominion. '.Our artisans have gone from every townand city 'of this country," con- tinued Mr, Meighen, Our vvooleo'S were reduced 214 per cent— nothing like what was pledged --and as a re - snit t •down knit our Woolen production h one-third Is•it to be expected that e tt ill:! i n work and confidence kn Canada while we.:have a' prfrtte minis= threatrnini* iusutess every day, ti,. eaell alt,' .ul pro anetlt't: erlter rises fn every speed' on every bud- r.et, declaring to `business men a• nd itt- vestord everywhere, `Look out! This business I hit this year.,'ht• may ''be yours next year.'" GENERAL OH IFF{.i By fY i••F What a contrast there is between the two great outstanding politicians of the Dominion. Premier King may be described without any disrespect as a great ponderous mass of adipose tissue, while mentally. evert his great- est admirers will hesitate to describe him as brilliant. The Rt. Iron. Arthur Meighen physically is so very frail and thin that his bones are almost indecently exposed. He tips the scale beam at little more than 100 lbs. and mentally for grasp, for analytical and construc- tive power he stands almost without a pier among the statesmen of Can- ada. on the topic were given by Mae Campbell, Mr. Ferguson, - Questions' were answered by James Hogg and Offering Hymn 470;1 Mr, Ferguson.g, Lord's prayer in 'unison, +at Of course, one robin does tot make a spring, neither does one day pf severe weather stake a hard win- ter. Since the awful weather of Sunday, the 6th instant, we have been favored with a delightful mildness, which we hope in view of Sir Henry Thornton's ;012,70 rate on Alberta coal, will continue for the rest of the winter. r*f It is only natural that our county town—lGoderich—should wish :o keep within her onva corporate limits all the machinery and officials con- nected with the preservation of or- der and the enforcement of law. We cannot wonder, therefore, that she should favor the appointment of only one magistrate for the whole of the county of Huron, and lie a citizen. of the county town. But there are many with touch argument of their side, who would like to see five ma- gistrates in the county, one resident in each of the larger )municipalities. To us the latter seems preferable. s*s Evidently the prominent Dench Canadian gentlemen from the Pro- vince of Quebec, who attended the Meighen banquet in London last f On- tario Fri- day evening, titin)~: the people t are not such a had lot after all. Better acquaintance often dis- sipates unfounded prejudice. *5* Mr, King, Premier of Canada, is not very successful in forming alli- ances, He has not succeeded in form- ing a matrimonial .alliance and has vin jus t failed in fortg a political one. THE MEIGHEN BANQUET The banquet given in honor of the Right Honorable Arthur Meighen in London on Friday last was one of the most successful events in London :and Western Ontario and )narks the rising of the flood of indignation over the broken promises and deception of the Ring government, that will sweep them out of power at -the next elec- tion.
