Last Wednesday was a memorable day in the history of South Simcoe. Hon. G. E. Foster and Hon. N. C. Wallace addressed an immense gather- ing of farmers and were cheered to the echo. The Canadian Party—the Con sorvative Party—has the confidence of the electors of South Simcoe. NIL. WALLACE'S OVATION. Hon. N. Clarke Wallace received an ova- tion. U.: riaid that he and his colleague wore pr, sent to explain the Government's pilicy, c:,6 to enga}+e in a personal dispute with anybody. He thanked the large audi once for thu 'kind reefpti,fn that had been given there. The Conservative party was never afraid ti have its relord disouesed and examined. (Cheers ) Fid then reviewed the bistcry of C inada since the N. P. came Into force, showing that a 'substantial and steady pi' re's had been made year by year. Ete next dealt with the question of the Jesuit esta•es and Manitoba school Aote, and c,otteude1 that the Government had dealt in bath cases in preeieely the same manner. tVhen the Protestant miuority of daaebee protested againet the Jesuit Ao`, the Uoverameet granted them rthe right to a hearing, tvhiuh was postponed at their own request. Later the minority of Quebec eet- tled the matter to their satisfaction with Count iMercier, and never went back for their bearing before the Dominion Govern• ment. The Catholic minority in Manitoba in like manner had aekcd for a hearing and would have it. (Cheers ) It was the 'right ot every Britiah snbjeet under the constitu- tion to hay any complaint at the foot of the throue, and this could not properly be de- nied the Catholic minority of Manitoba. (Cheers.) MCC IRTHY'S PECULIAR CONDUCT. Mr. McCarthy asked the farmers to vote against the Government in order that com- bines might he put down. NVhen there was a hill before the Committee of the House dealing with these combinee with the view to restricting them, who was the man who appeared as the paid advocate of these com- bines? None other than Mr. B. B. Osler, C., the law partner of Mr. McCarthy. This man who received pay for this work appear- ed before the committee and advocated the claims of the combinee with all hie power. He received pay for thie, and shared it with Mr. McCarthy as his partner. (Loud cheers.) 11r. McCarthy in a speech at Toronto abused Sir John Thompson on the ground that he had not given hire a proper hearing on his N. rth-west language 1111. He then gave the history of the bill in the Houae,and demonstrated thit Mr. McCarthy had shirked speaking upon it, and had re- fused to allow others to speak on it. Col. O'Brien ret Scott's Lake had made the excuse that the reason Mr. M.rCarthy had not spoken on the hill was beaanse it came up at 11 o'clock at night. This was a poor ex- cuse, since on important matters such as this the House had frequently eat on until 11 o'clock next morning. (Loud eheere. ) Mr. McCarthy was now POSING AS A PROTESTANT CHAMPION, yet when the Orange inoorperation bill was befoto'the House Dalton McCarthy was not there to vote for it, although he had been telegraphers for. At Orangeville a few days ago he (Mr. Wallace) had charged Mr. McCarthy with having stricken out the words "Protestant ohampinn" from an ad• dress presented to him at London recently by the Protestant ladies of the city. Mr. McCarthy had denied this at Scott's Lake. He thea read letters from prominent ottizene of London stating that the words had heen stri^lien out either by Mr. McCarthy or the chairman of the meeting, and with Mr. Mc- Carthy's consent and knowledge, since the ladies had met Mr. McCarthy after the meeting and protested, to which he made no reply. lle read from an open letter written by Mr. NloCarthy to Mr. Thomas Long, stating, tint the reason he (Mr. McCarthy) had left the Conservative party was beoauso the Ent!,;re had attacked him. Was this a reason why. the people of the country should be asked to turn nut the Government of the day ? (Cries of "No,no ") He said that Mr. MoCarthy had denied that he had ever received a dollar of the Government's money. He then produced nu original oheque for $9,723, issued by the Government and en- dorsed by Mr. MoCarthy himself, for the firm to which he belonged. Ile said that there were other large amounts, but thie wouldsufFioe to give the lie direct. (Cheers.) alit. VOSTRP-t5 GREAT SPEECH. Hon, George E. Foster wan than palled upon. Cheer after oheer greeted him, and it was several minutee before he could make his voice heard. He eald after the cheering had subsided, that ho trusted that the platform of the Conservative party was not se wobbly es that upon whioh he stood. (Cheers.) It h.id been stated that the peo- ple of the country were being reined. The Government slid not fear if the people were roused to suoh an extent that they would give sufficient attention to think upon the questions of the day and the policy of the Government 1'be more people became 4 aroused and intelligently understood the affairs of the country, the better foe the Government and the worse for the other aide. (Loud cheers.) The Government bad a polioy which would bear the inspection of all; intelligent people. According to the views expressed at Scott's Lake the other day there were only two independent men in Canada. (Laughter.) When these men got into power it would be a g"-aeAou-please for everybody. (Laughter ) These men took it upon themselves to threaten people if they would not support their oau• didatee as they had Ur a s rec ige.Tyrwhits. Mr, McCarthy, without consulting the peo- ple of Cardwell, HAD TRUST A CANDID.tTE ur on them. Had any one heard of Sir John Macdonald or any one else having even asked to have a man nominated without first consulting the wlsbee of those who resided within the constituency. These men wished to he indopendeut themselves but wished everybody el h to he ettheerviect to them. (Cheers.) If Mr, M:Carthy wished to win, however, he would have to form a party and draw the lines es strongly as they were draofn now. (Cheer',) The representatives in farliament on both sides were good, honest and independent men, who were anxious to do the will of their constituents. All men and diffctont minds, as they had eyes and faees, and agreed upon a certain line of policy. but on minor ntattors they were independent and exercised their own judgments. He then reviewed the history of the policy of the Conservative party, and showed that it was owing to it that the a•untry had federated and prnapered• (Cheery.) lie told the story of the C. P. R., and showed how the Reform party had ATTEMPTED TO BALK EVERT STEP of the Government: when building the road. Mr. );heard Blake had prognosticated that the road would never pay for the grease used on the wheels, while to day the road was the wonder of the financial and engin- eering world. He reviewed the history of the Reform party. The Government pro- posed to lay their plans before the p.ople'e representatives at the next session of the House,gpd stand or fall at the election after• wards. If the tariff protected the menu- facturer of farming implements, it also pro- tected the farmer to the extent of three oents_per pound on pork. (Cheers.) In 1878 over $14,000,000 worth of farming pro- ducts were imported into Canada, but in 1892 but $2,000,030 of suoh importe were taken in. Who were the men who bene• fatted ? Were they not the Canadian farmers? (Cheers ) He denied the nearest market was the natural one. The neural market for Chinese teas was not in Ceylon or Japan, but westward, where tea woe not grown, but wanted. The natural market for Canada was not in the United States. where a surplus in the same products was raised, but in Great Britain, where they require more farm products than they could raise. (Cheer.) For ever, loaf of bread raised in England they had to import nine. This was not only the morket of the United States but al„o of Canada. (Cheers.) Can- adians ehould study this table of average imports into England during the years 1889, 1890 and 1891: A TABLE WORTH STUDYING, imported into Eng- land from Canada. 504 78,218 47,027 Horses.....

This was not true, and this he proved from statistics compiled by F.nglieh statieticiane. Iron had decreased in value since 1873 over 50 per cent., brass 30 per cent., window glass 39 per cont., and on 11 other articles used by farmers 45 per cent. Currants,orangee, sugar, snap, clothing, cot- tons, printe, socks and linen had all decreas- ed in value nearly 25 per cent. On cheese barley, oats, bacon, horse,, wheat, butter, eggs, potatoes, cattle and beef the decrease had only been 12 per cent. So thot it would readily be seen that what the farmern had to Bell had decreased in value during the past 10 years Total im- ports Into England, 18,236 568 408 460,307 175,000,000 38.000,000 530 000,000 227.000,000 227.000.000 $2,330,000 101,000,000 40,000,000 IN ♦ MUCH LASS RATIO t in had what he required to purchase. :Cheers). It had been said that that many farmers were not prosperous, but a look at the history of the manufacturers throughout the world showed that 90 per cont. of those who had gone into that line had failed. the farmer] of Canada were on a better finan- cial basis than in any other country. (Cheers. ) He ot•noluded by reminding the audience that Canada was a greet country, that it had a brilliant prospect before it, and would work out a splendid future, He was ap- plauded to the echo when he sat down. Gladstone's Goveernment is weaken- ing. Tho Unionists are making matters interesting for the "grand old man." The tide appears to be against Home Rule.

Doatinion,. they frown acme annexation, Grand )\taster A. G, Hamilton was in Bri- tain recently and says in his address to the brethren "I was greatly surprised 'when in the Mother Country to learn that eQme of our; renegade Canadans were spread• ing abroad the feeling that Canada was ripe for annexation, and it le very dishe cult to realize that anyperson should be so false to the land of his birth or adope tion as to advocate such principles. Our glorious constitution (states very painly that every member of our belov- ed assooiation should use his utmost endeavors to maintain the connection between the Dominion of Canada and the Mother Country, and be ever ready to resist all attempts to weaken British infirmities or dismember the Empire, and I am sure that every/member of our as- sooiation will resist to their utmost every attempt that may be made to produce suoh a result.” Grand Matter Hamilton, after peer- ing Controller Wallace's •"Protestant". enemies on the home rule debate and ettewuted censure, endorses the Sover- eign Grand Master in these words :— "'Since our last meeting I am most bappy to say that our moat worshipful grand master and sovereign has been honored by the Parliament of Canada by being appointed to the important position of Controller of Customs, an appointment that has given general satisfaction to the members of our as' sosiation, and from the knowledge we possess of his ability and sterling qualities we are sure he will discharge the onerous duties of the office with sate isfaction to our country, our associa- tion and himself." TIIE CASE OP MR. PETERS. We will suppose a perfectly healthy man and call him Peters. If the friends of Peters work a little game on hire they can make him believe himself a sick roan whose 'days are numbered. One plan i,i to supply Peters with patent medicine pamphlets. If these are judiciously strewn along hie path Peters will soon imbibe the poison and find himself a physical wreck from twenty different pointe of view. An. other method for his friends to re- mind Peters that ho is failing.. Let ono of them, meeting him in the street, remark: "1 say, Peters, take a little more care of yourself. You look terribly run down and pale." Let another friend follow this up and console Peters, about his stooping shouldere and the probability of his going ofl with a galloping consumps tion. iThose ar9 awful crow's feet about your eyes; go a little slower, old man. You can't stand that racket long." "Sorry to see your hand tremble, Peters. Take care or you will go off like the rest of the family." if hie friends were to keep this sort of thing up long enough it would break the spirit ot a stronger man than Peters. What everyone says must be true, and 'within a reasonable time we would see Peters raving under an attack of brain fever, or pounding hie heat, agajnst the padded walls of an insane asylum. The farmer of Canada is our friend Peters. The conspirators are the Grit politicians and the newspapers. For ten years they have been appealing to him as the most unfortunate man on the face of the globe. • He is painted as a miserable; creature, an allround fail. ure. Many years ago the farmer was a MAN, but look at him to -day; they say, with all spirit crushed clean out of lrinl, the yellow dog of humanity. And it is the odious National Policy that has done it all. No wonder such a torrent o$ dismal literature and blue ruin spa ages has had its effect on a broody farmer. Most of the hardy tillers of the soil have withstood the shock, but some, unfortunately, have been mesmerized and have become the victims of dismal hallucinations These go moping around and they will not be consoled. You point to the fine team this farmer is driving. "Yes," he says, "they be pretty fine animals, but just think on it, that harness on thein is taxed 35' per cent. We farmers are being bled white." To your question lie replies that the harness was not imported. "It's all the same, though, we would have had to pay if it was imported. I tell you its an awful country this. Times is fearful dull. We'll never see dollar wheat again. Oh, that cursed tariff!" You ask him the connection between the tariff and low priced wheat and he wails a general lamentation and refers you to the news- papers. "Why, the papers is full of it—don't you read the paperst" It would Ire surprising if the patent medicine literature of the Grit press hadn't created deluded victims by the score. Farmers who are today in good circumstances, who are not overworked in summer and who sit enjoying them- selves by a coal fire in winter, have been reminded so repeatedly and with such persistence of their abject poverty that they have at last .taken the thing for granted. As a natter of fact the farm- ers of Canada are as well ofl and as comfortable as those of any, other country the world over.

The Grange, apnea 16 or 17 years ago, numbered nearly oigt,t hundred lodges in Canada alone, with a reetuberehip of some 25,000. Today the order is almost extinct in this country. The rook upon which the Grange split was the commercial in• tereat, and this was brought about by interfering with the well—established and regular course of trade. Middle men were to be abolished, spot cash was to be paid foe everything, and a new gospel of dealing promulgated. But it was found that when one manufacturer reduced his inl'ploments or machinery to the Grange line of dealing, and sold to them in confidence, his terms soon leaked out and all the rest of the makers followed suit. Then when the members of the Grange found that the public could buy as cheaply as they could, they dropped eut of the order, as there was no financial benefit in belonging to it. And finally the order broke up; but not until it had ruined a good many manufacturers, as the latter took their business out of the hands of their agents and left it to the Grange, and when the order stopped buying from them and patronized other dealore, this broke their business down. If the Patrons follow in their foot• steps the same results will follow. True, by combining and paying cash to business men in London and •i'o- ronto, goods can be got cheaper than formerly, but by paying cash to local home merchants Patrons can get. what they want just as cheaply, and save the trouble, loss and expense of keeping large quantities. The Patrons also lay particular stress upon combines, but it' guy such exist doing injustice to any, Clark Wallace's "Combines Act" will roach and punish such persons. But there are proper and improper combinee. Every school section, township or county is a com- bine; so is every joint stock or other company; so is the Patrons of Industry order; so are boards of trade. Sugar or cotton or binder twineoragricultural implement companies who unite and by saving expenses of travellers and clerks. and by centralizieg their efforts, reduce the price of sugar to that of moulding sand, of cotton to that of straw, binder twine to a minimum, and of agricul tural implements to a mere trifle, even though they do themselves good, are also doing the country good. There is ono agricultural implement iudustry in Canada that alone directly ani in directly gives support to thirty five thousand people in employing seven thousand eoule. These each average five to a family, making thirty-five thousand. Yet, agricultural imple- ments are cheaper in Canada than in any land on the face of this world. A Patron, writing to an exchange on this subject, pute the question iu the followidg shape:—Does anyone, he says, deuy the many men in these companies a fair return on their cap ital l Let us examine. An average farm represents a capital of say $3,500 Ten per cent. profit- on that yearly to apply in paying off mortgage debts, or to add a new buggy, binder, seeder, etc., would be a good profit. That would moan $350, and few farmers, even in bad years but make that. Let us turn and examine the capital invested in some of the large industries of Canada. One, or even two, million dollars is a small capital for many large manufacturing establishments. Allow even five per cent. on the investment, just half what the farmer has been allowed, and the earnings over and aboye outlay would be $50,000, Yet that, through only half as much as the farmers are allowed on the same capital, seems a large gum. CURRENT TOPICS. We now learn from cattle mon in Glasgow and Liverpool that there in little or no hope for the removal this season of the embargo on Canadian cattle. If Grit members of the Local'House would devote more time to saving the people of this Province from the steadi- ly increasing load of Provincial direct taxation, it would be better than de- nouncing a Dominion ' Government which is, with equal steadiness reliev- ing the people from burdens to the extent of millions yearly. All Canadian annexationists should be favored with a free pass to the United States. In olden times they would be forcibly halted and a hempen cord brought into requisition. But in this "enlightened age" people hang in the United States for much less, while in Canada the greater criminals are allowed liberties heretofore un• known. - The labored ediloral matter of a county annexation organ, as a rule, consists gf treason lectures by Elgin Myers and Yankee snobs who yearn to tranefor a loyal and happy country and people to foreign foes.
