who partioipat in the rnemettable
and epoch-orakiag National .Liberal
Convention ipehicb elected the present
Liberal leader, defined the attitude of
Canadian Liberalism on the tariff, in
terms of unmistakable significance
and of vital import. The Reciproc-
ity pact with which the name of W.
S. Fielding will ever be honorably
associated, was another evidence that
Canadian Liberalism was, ten years
ago. on the fiscal issue. For that well
considered and admirably devised ar-
rangement, though temporarily
brought to naught by frantic and fur-
ious appeals to racial prejudice and
abysmal ignorance, would unques-
tiuuably, and to the great benefit of
the common people of this country,
have resulted in a considerable mea-
sure of free trade betwixt Canada
and her neighbor.
LIBERAL FISCAL laft.ICY
The hyphenated Con:oryativ: Party
is very insistent on the fast that the
tariff issue is the only Esus at the
forthcoming General Ete:ti ni. Such
an attitude is too easily understand•
able to deceive the veriest tyro in
politics. The record of the discre-
dited Administration which has now
been forced to the country, its auto-
cratic flouting of the popular will. ro
retrograde tendencies of every sort
and kind, its shifts, its subterfuges,
its persistent preference of the priv-
ileges of the few to the rights of the
whole; this also is an issue, and will
probably prove to be the dominant
issue of the election campaign, as it
proceeds and develops.
At the same time the tariff issue
it undoubtedly a leading issue in the
contest. It is certainly one which
Liberals have no desire to burk. This
is in the very nature of things. The
Liberals .are the forward-looking
Party, the Party with its eyes set,
steadily and unflinchingly, towards
the rising sun of Progress. And
more and more is it becoming clear
that, in all lands, the political prob-
lems of the future will be mainly
fiscal problems.
It is by a man's viewpoint on the
fiscal question that the quality of his
whole political outlook can almost in-
fallibly be gauged. To the Tory mind
a high protective tariff is almost in-
separable from the abstract princi-
ples of eternal justice. The Liberal,
on the other hand, views a tariff of
any ldnd merely at its best as so
much 'fiscal scaffolding. It is now
anore than forty-two years ago that
a protective tariff, in the guise of the
"National Policy," was adopted in
this eountry, on the instance of Sir
John A. Macdonald and the Conserva-
tive party. At this time of day, it
would serve no useful purpose. to dis-
-euss the question of whether or not
that step was a wise one to take.
Suffice it for us that it was taken;
and from that beginning was evolved
the tariff as we know it to -day. That
is to say, tariff which exists for pro-
tective, and, in many cases, high pro-
' tective, purposes, as well as for pur-
poses of revenue.
• • •
But, whatever may be the case, as
to the wisdom or unwisdom of a pro-
tective tariff at the moment of its
adoption, it is certain that it has
been worked by the Tory Party in the
interests of that Party's friends, the
Big Interests. When the Tory fugle-
men talk of a revision of the tariff,
it is a revision in consonance with
the wishes and at the dictation of
the self -same Big Interests which
they have in nrinil. In its incidence
the tariff has been found grossly un-
fair to the farmers, to manual work-
ers, to consumers generally. Ani
when the Liberals recommend tariff
revision, the revision which they con-
template in such a revision as will
redress the grossest of the iniquities
to which it subjects the common peo-
ple, and will allay the most glaring
of their grievances under it.
• e
The Liberal fiscal policy is not, as
the Torics often assert, one of Free
Trade. Indeed. it is common ground
among- all parties, including the Pro-
greeeivr Party, that a policy of free
trade` i� not one susceptible of appli-
cation in this country in existent
conditions. But just as little is Lib-
eral fiscal policy that which finds
favor in the "true-blue" eyes of the
Tory. The sort of tariff to which
Liberec,: will give their assent is not
of the Tory type; not, that is to say,
a tariff de�s igned to ensure bloated
profits for 'Capital, to foster parasitic
industries, to holster up inefficient
management, to cover lip the de-
linquencies of antiquated plant, or
to nuke the way smooth far obsolete
methods of production and market-
ing. The only form of tariff to which
Liberalism can assent is one that is
calculated to ensure to the general
good of the whole people, and not to
the particular advantage of any group
of individuals. In other words a
Liberal tariff is a tariff for revenue
purposes only.
• • • .
' The policy of a tariff for revenue
purposes only predicates support a-
• 1 --',Free i'rcrle lines. It is the very
'opposite of a policy of Protection, as
s `that is understood by those who are
most enthusiastically enrolled under
• dts banner. For it is a cardinal and
'basic economic, .fact, which goes to
.the root of all proper conception of

Protection, • inasmuch as, invariably
and inevitably, it penalizes the mass-
es of the people for the aggrandise -
of the Big Interests, results not
lily in making the rich richer, bet
al -.o in making the poor poorer. •IC
increases the cost of living for the
<wmnrunity as a whole. and an increase
of this nature necessarily bears most
hardly on the toiling masses whose
lot it is ever to find difficulty in mak-
ing both ends meet. Thus it is con-
trary to social well-being. 1t tends,
it is true to make millionnaires, but
it is not millionairedom, but u con-
tented people labouring under no in-
tolerable burden of taxation—a burden
all the more intolerable by reason of
the injustice of its incidence that
makes a nation great in any sense
that really counts.
•
But, in' addition to making for pros-
perity in its true meaning, the Liberal
policy is designed to make for peace.
Not only peace at home, as tending
to the estrblishment of fairplay as
het•,ween Bit Business and the com-
:nun people at home, but also peace
:tr between nation and nation. Of all
pestilential methods of fomenting ill -
will between one nation and another,
the line of argument invariably fob -
lowed in protectionist circles is the
most mischievous. From Joseph
Chamberlain to Arthur Meighen, the
apostles and prophets of the protec-
tionist idea have always contrived to
interweave a considerable amount of
offensiveness to other countries witp
their fiscal heresies. On the other
hand. the most consistent advocates
of internationad goodwill — •John
Bright, Gladstone, Laurier, for ex-
ample—have always been men who
kept clearly and consistently before
their vision the free trade landmark.
Imperialism, Militarism, big drums,
raucous trumpets, bravado, bluster
and brag; it is in the atmosphere of
these things that High Protection
thrives and flourishes. And, in a day
when the common people in all lands
are anxious for that better general
.understanding and fuller sympathy.
between the nations of the earth,
which is one of Democracy's glorious
and august ideals—those who would
heighten rather than lower barriers,
whether fiscal or of any other kind,
which divide nation from nation. and
especially neighbor from neighbor,
are ranging themselves definitely on
the anti -democratic side.

It was pointed out just now that
the protective tariff. as we have it
to -day, and still more if the Tories
were to have the chance of further
manipulating it to the ends of the
Big Interests in the future, is really
synonymous with oppression. We
have seen the aforesaid Big Interests
in this . country treating the con-
sumers as their spoil. as though by
some divine right. What wonder if
men with warns hearts have revolted
at the sight? What wonder if, in
their indignation thereat, the farmers
who are consumers as well as pro-
ducers, and especially the Western
farmers, have resolved on a course
which they believe to be calculated
to make flagrant violation of the im-
plied social contrast vastly more dif-
ficult in the future than it has prov-
ed to be in the past? They see quite
clearly that High Protection, which
its advocates so loudly acclaim, as a
stimulus to industry, has turned out
to be something rather in the nature
of a deleterious narcotic. It has been
used to enrich grasping individuals.
It has stifled initiative and diminish-
ed efficiency in industry. Finally it
has tended to corrupt politics and to
corrode • public life. Seeing these
evils the farmers have organized
themselves politically to correct them.
They are perfectly within their rights
in so doing. But it may be question-
ed whether in the Liberal Party, that
great instrument for good. and in
the Liberal policy, as enunciated with
such lucidity and forcefulness by its
leader, equally effective corrections
of these evils could not have been
found, and without any divisions.
however, transient, of the forces of
progress. The policy of a tariff for
revenue purposes; only, which is the
Liberal policy, will safeguard the
great ideal of democracy, equality of
opportunity, to attain which the pre-
datory principle of Protection were
well lost indeed.

Women's Missionary Society.—The
November meeting of the W.M.S.,
held at the home of Mrs. J. A. Mc-
Gregor, was in every way one of the
best meetings ,of the year. There
were about thirty present. An in-
teresting and practical topic handled
by Mrs. Finlayson, Miss McLean and
Mrs. Lundy, a Bible reading by 'Miss
Jennie Chesney, a solo by Mina Etta
McKay, and a duet by Mrs. J. B. Mc-
Lean and Mrs. Lundy, a series of sen-
tence prayers and a number of in-
teresting missionary facts given in
answer to the roll call were features
of the meeting. The meeting was
followed ,byt a social half -her as
usual when the hostess served a de-
licious lunch.
Thankoffering Meeting.—On Sun-
day last the annual thankoffering of
the W.M.S. was held. Members of
the Society formed the choir for the
day. Five of the officers reported on
the progress of the work for the year
and each set forth the claims of her
own special branch. They all did
well. The president reported the
membership of the society all over
Canada as being over, 80,000, and
their contribution was 5818,000 last
year. She appealed to every woman
in the congregation to shoulder her
responsibility to make this K en

Church, preached a special sermon on
Sunday evening last to the brethren
of the local Orange Lodge. The ser-
vice had been first arranged for the
morning, b4 owing to some ef the
brethren finding it hard to attend in
the morning, it was changed to the
evening and notwithstanding the
very unfavorable state of the weather
and roads, there was a good attend-
ance. Rev. Mr. McConnell gave a
fine history of the order and the stir-
ring times and events through which
the order had passed since the cele-
brated battle and victory of the Boyne
and the splendid principles for which
the order stood: The centre pews
were preserved for the Orangemen
and as we have stated, there was a
very good attendance, but the weather
and roads prevented other lodges at-
tending from a distance.—We regret
to state that Mr. T. J. Berry, the well
known horseman, and who has the
finest stables in the county, has been
quite poorly during the past week or
so, but at date of writing we are
pleased to learn he is somewhat bet-
ter. Mr. Berry has always been not-
