ADDRESS.

'roiaier of Sri Dominion of Canada;
dInN. Gau. 1:. L•odr,,r, Minister of Finance;
TioN. 3. C. P.\r mnao4, Mialater of Militia and De-

HON. GI:NTLE:MEN :--We are pleased
to have the opportunity to welcome
your public appearance in the County
of Iluron, in compliance with the
wishes of a, large number of the elec-
torate and in accordance with the un-
written law that it is good for our
rulers to render an account of their
stewards=hip face to face with the peo-
ple.
We heartily welcome you to the
town cf Clinton.
We heartily welcome you to the
prosperous County of Huron, the home
of the thimeaotiii; of loyal ::yet» nen
farmers whose induetriou. Wives, fair
daughters and manly suns so largely
make up the population.
'- We welcome you not only as the
elected choice of the people of widely
separated constituencies in this Can-
ada of ours which extends from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and embraces
an area nearly equal to, that of the
whole of Europe and somewhat larger
than that. of the United States ; but we
welcome you as the constitutional ad-
visers of our graeious Queen, Victoria
the Good, the beloved Sovereign of the
Most' extensive Empire the sun ever
shone upon.
We beg to convey to you Apressions
of confidence in the Government of
Canada as administered by you arid
your colleagues. The confidence we
wish to express is not the mere formal
expression of courtesy to those chosen
by the people and 'accepted and honor-
ed by the Crown, hut a confidence
created by a knowledge of the master-
ly manner in which vou have con-
ducted the affairs of Canada during
your incumbency of office.
Soine faint hearts were afraid of the
continuance of strong and wise Gov-
ernment in Canada when that sage
counsellor and law -giver, the late Sir
John A. Macdonald, was not in the
body to instruct our people and en-
thuse with his own spirit the necessity
for guarding well the constitution he
was so largely instrumental in form-
ing.
And some false hearts seemed to
wish that the deluge would come and
find our free people with no ark of
refuge and obliged to beco ne miser -
able suppliants at the door of our very
much distracted and panic-stricken
neighbors to the South.
The result of last elections Rave cour-
age to the faint-hearted and paralyzed
the false-hearted.
Nobly have you and your colleagues
shown your fidelity to the gigantic
interests entrusted to you. Both in
matters that fall within your purview
as merely Canadian law -makers and as
well in the larger arena of interna-
tional complications, where the• rights
of Canada were concerned, you have
shown Canada to have sons who can
hold their own in statesmanlike argu-
ment with the mightiest intellects to
he found within the English speaking
race.
The Behring Sea Arbitration showed
this. Conservative Governments have
always been Governments of reform in
Canada. The present ono has been no
exception.
It was Canadian Conservatives that
united these provinces and radically
eradicated the idea of the helplessness
and inferiority of Canadians because
of the fewness of our numbers. The
girdling of the earth with the fastest
transportation lines in the world,
Canadian railways and Pacific steam-
ers are proof.
The matter of revenue is one always
of interest to those who receive it in
trust for the people. Your titanic
reform wotk in the line of economic
expenditure and retrenchment has re-
lieve 1 our people of taxes of between
three and four millions by the aboli-
tion of duties on tea and sugar.
We feel satisfied that your fidelity to
public duty will inspire you to effect
all practicale reforms in other lines, so
far as compatible with the interests of
our farriers, manufacturers, laborers,
&rt'zans and producers generally and
our national financial obligations will
permit.
We tender you a loyal British -Cana-
dian welcome in the name of the Con-
servative party of Huron.

of the County of Huron :

montitlg on the little Curry in " the
political pot here, caused by Mr, Lsur.
ier's'trip weetw.ard. The Detroit, Tri-
butte melees the following comment on
the situation :
"The Liberal party of Canada, hav-
ing adopted a tariff platform closely
roaewbliug that of the Democrat party
in this country, hire begun a oarupaign
for -free trade. Wilfred Laurier. lend•
e:• of the opposition iu the Dominion"
Parliament, opened the Oulario cud of
Chia campaign a few days ago with a
speech, the substance of which has
aeon service and pretty hard service,
too, on this side of the border. Pro-
bably it was not altogether new to the
people of Canada, but there are doubt-
less ruaoy deluded citizens over there,
who like to be told that the tariff is a
tax on the consumer for the exclusive
benefit of the producer and the urauu•
facturer, and who delight in trio prom
pect so freely held out to them of a
golden age when the free trade policy
comae in. If the Cauadian people are
impressed by this sort of talk they must
be singularly blind to the coudicious
which have been brought about in the
United States by the mere threat of
free trade. Let them look acoross the
border and enquire into the pauses
which have prostrated industry here.
Why, within the last month American
manufacturers have been compelled to
\apply to Canadian hanks, where money,
'is plentiful, for money enough, to pay
oil their bonds with. If the Canadians
went to reproduce in their own coon•
try the industrial troubles we are ex-
periencing here, they have but to take
the advice of men like Laurier. It
will be strange, however. if they do so.
The Democrat victory in the Uuited
States gave an impetus to the free trade
movement in the Dominion, and put
new life into the free trade party. But
the people of the Uuited States have
already repent ,d of their folly.. They
now realize that the attack on the pro-
tective policy is a disastrous mistake,
which they will lake the first oppor-
tunity to repair. Perhaps this repent-
ance will reverse the tide of free trade
sentiment in the Domiuion and pre•
vent the people of Cauada from com-
miting a similar folly.
STICKING TO A LIE.
The following waa sent to the Globe,
but with its usual discourtesy, says the
Mitchell Advocate, it reused to pluhlish
it:—
To the Editor of the Globe :
Sir,—In the interests of truth I hope
all your reports in connection with Hon.
Mr. Laurier's tour through Ontario are
not in keeping with your account of his
visit to Mitchell. 1 merely desire, how-
ever, to make one correction of a matter
personal to myself. You say that in my
speech at the banquet I " admitted that
no man in public life better deserved
the honor and respect of . Canadian peo..
ple than Mr. Laurier. " I made no such
Statement. What I did say wr • " that
no Liberal in publio life in this couutry
was more deserving of honor or respect
than Mr. Laurier." This is very differ-
ent to the words you put in my mouth,
and 1 hope you will do me the justice of
publishing this correction. Yours, etc.,
Mitchell, Sept. 18. W. R. DAVIS.
(CURRENT TOPICS.
In saying a word or two for French
Laurier, would it not be judicious for
the grit press to explain "where he is
at" on the Manitoba school queetion 1
The Reform party may have a
dozen `Edward -Makes, but they have
had only one Alexander Mackenzie—
a fact which they have repeatedly dis-
covered to their cost.
The Grit press are clamoring for the
retirement of Sir John Thompson.
Like the late Sir John Macdonald, he
refuses to consult them. They are not
likely to know the "intentions" of any
Premier. These canards should be
taken tuna grand Salus.
If the editor of the Signal does not be
more truthful in referring to THE NEWS -
RECORD, we shall feel constrained
to "emasculate" our totem. The phrase
is one the Signal and New Era applies
to their French leader. These Reform
papers should tell us "where they are
at."
• Mr. Laurier set a bad example to
Jim McMullen when he kissed that
fourteen -year-old girl 'in Harrieton.
The tall Tamrock from Luther is now
likely to raise the limit on that exceed-
ingly prominent and important part of
his work among the constituents—kiss;
ing the babies.
There will be a Liberal convention
in Clinton on October 2nd—next
Monday. The object of the meeting
ie to place candidates in the field for
Dominion and Local Ridings of West
Huron. Mr. Cameron has expressed
his desire to retire from public life,
and Mr. D. A. Forteeter is spoken of
among Reformers es a candidates.
Mr. Forrester is undoubtedly the
the strongest man the Reformers have
in Weet Huron to day and would
make a desperate fight. It has been
earth that Mr. Garrow will not Beek
the nomination for the Local, but we
have reason to believe that he is after
it and will likely bo the choice. The
Ontario elections oannot be delayed
very many months.

In Parliament, when the Manitoba

of prejudicing the case. Now he refuses
to speak at all in Ontario. In Quebec

Hamilton Herald (Independent) : It
is a queer notion some of the politici-
ans profess to have that the protective
tariff is driving the young men out of
Canada. They have a protective tariff
in the States—a higher tariff than we
have in Canada—and the young men
aro not driven away by it; and they
have free trade in England and yet not
a day pasties that =young men do not
come to Canada.or the States to chase
and capture the nimble dollar. The
far orf fields seem green when one is
young and ambitious, and moat young
fellows who have no ties on them are
anxious to get to Ithe big centres of
population where their opportunities
to snake a name and a fortune arc great-
er. Some of them are aorry enough for
going.
There appears to be a combine be-
tween the Mowat Government, Mr.
Laurier and the Dominion Opposition.
Mr. Laurier's tour shows an alliance
with Ontario forcee—Mowat Gbvern-
ment forces. We are on the eve of an
Ontario election, and Sir Oli er has
identified himself with the cause of
Mr. Laurier. Heretofore many Na-
tional Policy Liberal electors have sup-
ported the Ontario Governrnent. Tho
challenge is straight to every supporter
of the Dominion Government, Mr.
Laurier is endeavoring to bring Ont-
ario issues into the -Dominion contest.
Thinking people should read between
the lines and easily discern Mr. Laur-
ier's two faces. He rod the Ontario
Premier should not be permitted to
lock in four directions at once.
Our town totem. ridicules the idea of
Hon. Mackenzie Rowell travelling to
Auatralia " to work up trade, " and
again pleads for the "sixty five million
market." We could secure our cutoin's
" free trade " with the Uuited States,
but our country roust first adopt the
American sixty-five per cont. tariff.
While the McKinley Bill has created a
lose to Canada of $5,000,000, it has
opened an increased market in Britain
of $17,000,000—over three tinges our
Toes. Probably our totem. will explain
the free trade theory in adopting a 65
per cont. tariff as against 17. There
must be two parties to a bargain, and
all seteible people will insist on roe.
sonableveli►ein return for whatthey give
But the United States refuses value.
Mr. Laurier and the Globe and the Re-
form party are willing to give all acd
receive nothing in return. They would
not pureue the same policy in their
private business. And the Conserva-
tive party are right in refusing to allow
Canadian interests to be sacrificed for
the benefit of a foreign country. Can-
ada is not for sale.
If our foreign totem. of Goderich
will look up the publio records, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty five, the Signal will
learn that Mr. Laurier and the whole
Grit Party—M. C. Cameron among the
number—aided and abetted Rebel
Riel in and out of Parliament. And
our — at that time "bloodthirsty"—
cotem, will also learn that Laurier
publicly stated that were he on
the banks of the Saskatchewan he
would shoulder bra musket to aid the
lialfbree"ds. Then Mr. Laurier and
his party challenged the Government
to allow the law to take its course,
The law was allowed to mete out elm
ple justice. Riel, guilty of high trea-
eon, was hanged. The Mr. Laurier,
M. C. Cameron, the Signal, and the
whole grit party exclaimed that an in-
nocent man had been murdered. The
utterances of Mr. Laurier and hie party
and organs at that critical time should
he enough to forever silence them.
But these former allies of Rebel Riel
aro now aehamed of their former utter-
ances, And they should be. But
THE NEWS -RECORD will not allow these
gentry to lie theroselvee out of their
awkward and disgraceful position.
The living must speak for the dead
Canadian soldiers.
