LARGER COMMERCE WITH BRITAIN. The Future of the Dominion Will be Safe in Conservative Hands. Sir Chas. Tupper has issued the Government programme. It is in the shape of an address to the electors; signed by the Premier. The document is concise, pointed, and emphatic. First and foremost, the Administration invites the public to sustain it on the fiscal issue, which is the dividing line between the two greatparties. It also submits for the consieration of the electorate the plans it has matured for further developing the commerce of Canada, specially the trade with Great Britain. The policy of protecting the rights of minorities, whether Catholic or Protestant, is fearlessly asserted as a constitutional principle. The exten- sion of Codfederation by the admission of Newfoundland into the Dominion is foreshadowed. Altogether the address is as compact and comprehensive a document as ever was presented to the Canadian public on the eve of a general election. It is as follows :- To the Electors of Canada : Gentlemen, --With a deep conscious- ness of the gravity of the issues before you, I feel I can confidently appeal to the calm judgment of my fellow -Cana- dians at this important juncture in the history of our common country. It is not my purpose to present at length the reasons which should guide you to a' hearty support of the Liberal -Con- servative cause in this national crisis. It seems to me you will clearly see without persuasion that the best in- terests of the Dominion are identified with the triumph of Conservative principles in the corning struggle. You will see that the policy of the party 1 have been called upon to lead has _ been marked by an abounding faith in Canada and by a spirit of aggressive pro- gress. We havepushed p bed great enter- prises to a successful finish directly against the opposition of the men who now ask you to entrust them with the reins of government. We have stead- fastly striven to make Canada a united and prosperous country. I invite you to compare the record of the ,two parties before you, and with all the facts in view dispassionately declare which is the better entitled to your confidence. The Conservative party has consistently adhered to certain fixed principles of government as being best adapted to the needs of the coun- try; while the course of the Liberal party has been vacillating and uncer- tain, whether in relation to fiscal mat- ters or the general development of Canadian interests. Our policy has many times had your endorsation, and, I trust, may still command your hearty approbation. THE NATIONAL POLICY. I feel that I may safely appeal to your cordial and direct support in maintaining the National Policy as a measure essential to the continued prosperity of Canada. In doing this, it is not necessary to enter upon an elaborate series of arguments in sup- port of the proposition. The people of Canada may he trusted to express their convictions upon this supreme issue with a clear understanding of the attitude of the two parties. On one band, the Conservative party stands definitely and clearly committed to the continuance of a fair measure of pro- tection to the industries of the Domin- ion, involving an equal Measure of protection to the labour represented in those industries. On the other hand, the Liberal party has declared for free trade, sometimes described as "free trade as it is in England," but always as "removing every vestigate of pro- tection." The issue is, therefore, sharply defined, and you are once again the judges between the parties. With your verdict in favor of the Government, as it was in 1878,188'¢, 1887, and in 1891, the industrial progress of Canada is assured ; whereas a declara- tion in favor of the Liberal party will undoubtedly lead to a reversal of the fiscal policy which has obtained since 1878, and to a disastrous revolution in the general business of the country. A MOMENTOUS ISSUE. I cannot, therefore, too earnestly im- press upon you the very great import- ance of keeping tnis momentous issue directly and vitally in view. It is with pride I ask you to contemplate the position of Canada to -day and me ure the causes which have co- bineem -'to bring about the happy con - dations everywhere apparent. When first entered public lit, Canada was represented by a few scattered pro- vinces, having little of cohesion and feeble in national strength. We are now a,. strong Confederation, stretch - in from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and commanding the admiration of theworld for our progress, stability, and immeasurable resources. The there Act of Union, however, bas not brought about this result. From 1867 until 1878. we madie but slow and un- certain progress. Something was wanted to give effective and general stimulation to the life of the Domin- ion, Med that sornething was found in the National Policy. -It was my privi- lege to be directly associated with its introduction and development, and in the light of result so self-evident as not to require statistical corroboration at lldk the ;q 1.40Inca fable oath �rreafior eii Melon ,e ''`talfl> • lutea lit ititu oporatlo li 1 hmi r- pec ie he ole gp�VICklLUr. at prodtl ts, ad0:1441:444,44t he expet't trade, as tntporta .fa t w lvh can be easilyrrovep It b�e beer poliey_of tate�. o erntnenttoprovlderaiwtay,antl shinning factlitiee t hyo4l�'hoop the Do,- rntll.ant•,so that able' PtfOilliete of • the fat nt may be nrketel to the hest a4 vantage, and W h ,be best re8Ulte to the producer. TO 'addition to this. the Gov - h ernreut has Unt}dertaken...durIng the a -past year to establish cold storageyen- e .ties in which perishable products in- - tended for shipment abroad may be 1 kept in the best condition for the mar - a kat, and at the lowest possible cost to e the producer. Particular attention has h been given to the development of the great dairy interests of the country. - In short, the Government has left e nothing undone which could assist the n farmers of Canada in making the most f out of their labour and skill ; and this course it is proposed to follow in the future. this time. I ask you to assist rase in keeping its fugdatneptal provisions in- tact. PREFitRll"f'J . TARIFF. At the ()denial Conference, whit feet in Ottawa in 18U4, a series of res lutions were adopted in favor of dos trade relations within the' Empire, in volving the principle of preterentia tariff arrangements., ,This opens hopeful view to Canada, During th past few years our expot't trade wit Great Britain has undergone great ex pausion and particularly in the pro ducts of the farm. Our total tract with that country has increased fro, $67,288,848, in 1870, to an average o $101,011,304 during the past five years while the annual export of farm pro� ducts alone has increasd from $32,'028, 611 to $50,106,898, in the same period With a tariff based on mutual conces sions, itis reasonable to expect a stil greater development of our trade in that market, and we should at the same time be rendering material as- sistance towards the unity and strengthening of the Empire. With out involving a lessening of the pro- tection of our industries on patriotic and commercial grounds, therefore, this measure is worthy of your cordial support. FAST ATLANTIC SERVICE. You have been kept well advised of the positive steps taken by the Gov- ernment to secure a better steamship service on the Atlantic betweein Can- ada and •Great Britain. At the pre- sent time we are at a serious disadvan- tage in that respect, much of our busi- ness in freight and passenger traffic being done by way of American ports, involving heavy losses to Canadian interests and Canadian prestige. We are now engaged in concert with the British Government in establishing a service that will he capable of compet- ing in speed, comfort and general facil- ities, with the best fleet of steamers now plying on that ocean, and if we are enabled to carry this plan into ex- ecution it is certain that great benefits will accrue to Canada. We shall not only be iii a position to command the trade of the Dominion without foreign help, but., by reason of our geo- graphical position and the speed of the proposed service, it may fairly be as- sumed we shall also receive a share of the traffic of the Western States, with all the advantages attaching thereto The Boards of Trade of Canada, with- out exception, have declared strongly in favour of improved mail and passenger services between this country and Great Britain, and in giving effect to their demands, the Government feel they are entitled to the co-operation of the electorate at large. It is an undertakingwhich con erns all classes -the farmer, whose products need to be marketed ahroac in the best possible condition, quite as much as the man of general affairs. In a word, Canada cannot af- ford any longer to occupy an inferior position in the matter of steamship service on the Atlantic. THE PACIFIC ceetraE. • THE NATIONAL DEFENCES. You are aware that the Government, 1 realizing the. relations we bear to the Ewpire,proposea to strengthen the na- tional defences. For this purpose a substantial vote was asked from Par- liament duringits last session. The _ first element ofnationalsentiment in- volves a spirit of self-reliance and a rtadiness to make sacrifices for the common good. I propose, therefore, with the means at our disposal, to snake the perfecting of our militia one of the first considerations of the Gov- ernment, in order that when•it is called upon to do its duty it may have all the advantage that proper training, arrna- ment, and ege)ipmeut can give. This step, I trust, may have your hearty ap- proab Lion. The Government fully appreciates the need of an increased population in the great, farming province of the West,. and proposes to take all practicable steps within our means to induce a large and desirable immigration. ADMISSION OF NEWFOUNDLAND. We contemplate the resumption at an early day of negotiations looking to the admission of Newfoundland into the Dominion, which we regard as a de- sirable rounding off of the great Cana- dian Confederation, and to attain which end we are prepared to make all rea- sonable concessions. A WORD TO THE ELECTORS. In conclusion, I ask you to rejoice with me in viewing the high credit which Canada enjoys in the great Money markets of the world. Our se- curities stand at the highest premium, as the direct result of prudent methods of Administration and confidence in our national stability. 11 is of the first importance that this faith in our standing ;and prospects should not be disturbed by exposing the cohntry to the revolutionary policy of the Liberal party. Our credit is the measure of the financial burdens we hear and the foreign market is most sensitive to change. It seems to me, therefore, you will realize the part of discretion and keep the control of public affairs in the hands of the party which has done so much for the development of our great resources, and whose advance to the sound prin- ciples followed by the late Sir John Macdonald is capable of bringing about still better results. It has been charged, as a reproach against me, that 1 have had too much confidence in the possibilities and destiny of my country, and that I have been guilty of looking too often on the bright side of things. I do not deny the allegation. I have always cherished the deepest faith in the future of this great Confederation, and have given the best years of my life to the realization of those hopes; and now, at the allotted span of life, I return to the struggle, strong in the belief that you will help me to carry on the work of making Canada the home of a great, a prosperous, and a happy people. • I remain, gentlemen, yours veri faith fully, CHARLES TUPPER. . Closelyassociated with the improve- ment P ment of our steamship service on the Atlantic is the project of making Can- ada the chief highway between Great Britain and Australasia, and between Great Britain and the East. The means for accomplishing this great undertaking are at hand, and with the assistance of the Canadian people at this juncture, success is assured. At the present tame our great trans -con- tinental line of railway affords to Great Britain the best and quickest means of reaching the Pacific. From that point on our western coast, two lines of steamers ply, one to China and Japan, and the other to Australia. Each has clearly established the prac- ticability of becoming the best and speediest line of Communication be- tween the metropolis of the world and the points indicated. The Imperial Government clearly grasped the im- portance of this fact, and has already given tangible evidence of its desire to make the plan effective by affording direct financial aid to the Atlantic link of the chain, as well as to the service between Vancouver and the Orient. Among the things which, however, re- main to he done, is the laying of a cable in the Pacific, as an essential complement to the transportation fa- cilitiee, and at this time, Sir Mac- kenzie Bowell and Sir Donald Smith, the High Commissioner for Canada, aided by Mr. Sandford Fleming, have been commissioned by the Canadian Government, to meet representatives of the Imperial and Australasian Gov- ernments in London, England, for the purpose of arranging the terms upon which this very important undertaking may he carried our.. It is my earnest desire that Canada Should hold the proud position in which the accom- plishment of this Imperial scheme would place her, and towards this end I have given my hest energies for many years. MANITOBA SCHOOL QU ESTION. 11 is unnecessary that 1 should at- tempt within the scope of a paragraph fully to review the portion of the Governinent in relation to the Manito- ha school question. Although shame- fully misrepresented by men who have had a purpose to serve in doing so, or who have been misled by a misapprehension of the real merits of this question, the fact is recognized that the Government has taken a clear and definite stand on the constitution- al aspect of the matter. We have simply done what we believed to be right in taking up the duty laid at our door, by the judgment of the high- est court in the realm, and in endeav- ouring to redress, the grievances of the Roman Catholic minority in Man- itoba by restoring the rights and priv- ileges guaranteed to them by the con- stitution. Knowing that our case rests upon a sound constitutional basis. and feeling we are doing right, itis our patriotic duty to adhere to the policy we have adopted in this regard; and we now appeal for vindication to the sober sense of justice of the,Canadian people. AGRICULTURAL INTERE13'rS. The present Government hits not been unmindful of the great agricrtltur- al class. For the past, ten years there has been in operation a Complete Byre tem of experimental farms, admirably equipped, and carried on with n view to demonstrating the'moet profitable methods of flarming. It is believed that they have been of great benefit to farmers In all parts of the country, and pastuat HOW efiliSPHAR elltY °nRE MeetO V E0 k'AX . * ;p 144418 8A1R Q,p9 sty 9Dient.Ele9,.

MONEY NO OBJECT. • The amount of money sufferers from Catarrh will spend in attempting to cure that foul and disagreeable disease is almost incredible. J.W.Jennings, of Gilford, Ont., says : "I spent between 8200 and 8300 consulting doctors ; I tried all the 'treatments' without bene- fit. One box of Chase's Catarrh Cure did me more good than all the reme- dies. A 25c. box cured me." Don't waste money. Chase's cure, with im- proved blower, 25c. It cures.
