W. J. MITCHELL,
Editor and Proprietor,
Afraid to Enlighten .
.the People.
The Laurier government,without' the
shadow of an excuse, i$ preparing for
a general election. The party idpow-
er is at its wits 'end and has.determi-
nee, to endeavor to snatch a verdict
from the electorate before the truth is
fully circulated regarding- the seven
years of Liberal rule. The "machine.,"
in fact, has interested •itself cbstru-
cting Consenative literature ane, in so
doing it has evidently. had the iiipport,
of Sir William Miami', wlidse. :record
in several elections, which rest/114'in
exposures of rank corruption., • is only
too well known. Just :Were the close
of .the last- session the .Postme.ster-.•
General did his utmost to prevent 01)1
position literature passing througlu the -
Mails. In his little .plot Sir Willikm•
was badly worst:ea and.only earned the
disapproval of Sir Wilfrid. Laurier, .
who promptly saw that Canadiaos
would not stand for. such tofair treat-
ment at a time when • thousands ;of -
governtner.t handbooks were beingeir-
culated, and Hon. Sydney Fisher's. or-
• gan, the Afontreal Herald, was, being
advertised at the .co .* 'ry's expense; ,
It has now come to light that • thous- •
earls • of copies of the 'speeches of Mr.
R. L. Borden and Hon. AeG. :Blair on
the Grand Trunk Pacific deal have. nev-
er reached the persons to .whomthey
were intended. Where have they gone?'
Hundreds- Of electors 'within • a. few.
miles of Ottawa are stilt -awaiting
their arrival. . Evidently the govPrn-
- ment has .debauched the postal serviee
in an attempt to keep the people in
the dark. Probably no severer cone'
damnation -of the Laurier cabinet could
be ()tiered than the story :of this cow-
ardly, plot to repress freedom of ;dis-
cussion .of important. questiona. •
Mr Borden's
Consistent Campaign.
Mr. R. •L.. Borden, the leader ,the
Conservative party, has 'for same days
been engaged in a political:totir.Of the
Maritime Provinces, • ..A. little- over .
year ago Mr. Borden .paid a, similar'
visit to the West. Before . lea.ving. -for ,
that magnificent section of the .Dom, -
i81011 he was • challenged by .the Toron7
to. Globe to . there advocate his policy -
of adequate protection.. The Globe cle-..
dared that if the• Conservative leader -
accepted the challenge, _it would • 'be •
"number one hero." Mr.. Borden -did
E.S •requested and from Victoria to
Winnipeg he . pre•achect "Canada. . for
Canadians" and home markets • for
home producers. To-claseMr. Doreen is
tellieg the sante story, ..to thepeople
riving on the Atlantic- coast as he told
a year ago to residents of the Pacific
coast. There has been . no chango of
program. The elect -o of Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick -ane, Prince. Edward. is-
land hear the gospel of protection as
it was heard in the far .West. 'There,
are no two sides to the qitestion :exhib-ited from an Opposition platione,
and Mr. Borden has by his .consisten-
cy made himself a power in the land.
Let the public compare his recore. .
iii
this respect to that of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier.. If this is ronscientioesly
done the verdict ,111, the .'con-eing elec-
tion will be overwhelmingly Conserva-
tive. The Conservative party has rally
one Canada to fight for told only one
policy fcr that Canada as" a whole
"Canada for Canadians." • • •

'Poi t ical . Pointers NO. T'' 18 the
title of a Liberal campaign, sheet whi-
ch appears with a cut of Sir Wilfrid
Leerier onthe cover. The -work was
prepared itt Sit Wilfrfa's private office
at Ottawa, and in referring to the St.
James Division election crimes it says:
"A few over-zealoue workers eom-
Mated breaches of the election flaw,
but the law was ettforced and. some -of
the accused were imprisoned,"
The store of Liberal rule neglects to
set fern that the scoundrels who stole
Mr. Bergeron's seat were sent to pris-
ou, mit by the government, but by Mr.
Bergeron, Itdoes not explain eitItee
that after being eonvietedt, Hatt mid
Aaiun. Iirtimet was pardotted by Hon:
Charles Fitzpatrick, Minister, of 'Sus-
tice. The "Political poittters" also
fail to say that the X,ihleral eandidat.c,
who was CATO of the first tellers recei-
ved by Sir Wilfrid Laurier on the
Premier's rettirx from England, was
unseated and ; diskittalified for Seven

t8e.aloita workers" the writer of

ynx fOr thieves, perjurers, corruption-
istS and rascals of the deepest die. But
this is only one of !many respects in
which "Political Pointers" met well
be named "political stretchers." It is
too bad that Sir Wilfrid has allowet1
his office to be used for the purpose of
exceising oue of the grossest public
outrages ever isnown in Canadian pol-
Laurier as a Railray Expent.

of his scheme :
