The publiC meeting eld in the Wing- hem Town Hall on M'nday afternoon in the iota eats, of rch. Iiislop, the Liberal candidate. in • se Huron was one of the most sum ssful meetings held here in many year , There was a very good attendance hen itis eon- sidered that the meati was held in, the afternoon and that he farmers are busy with .threshing and their corn crop. Mr. John T. surrie°,,. of East Wawanosh oeeupied th • chair and on Cie platform were a n tuber of prozni- nent Liberalie The c airman pointed out that seven -tenths • f the people of Canada were engage in agricultural pursuits and he hoped o see the farm- ers of East Huron do their duty on September 21st in vatitg for the reci- procity candidate. Mr, Hisloi, the candidate, was the first speaker and he received a rousing reception. He considered the Hon. Mr. Graham one of the ablestmen in public life in Canada to -day. The pre- sent issue before the people, that of reciprocity, was the' most important question ever submitted to the people of Canada since Confederation and if the people properly studied the ques- tion there 'Would be an overwhelming majority for the Laurier Government and larger markets. If it was a farm- ers' question it would indirectly benefit every person in the country for if the farmer is prosperous all other people are prosperous. Sir 'John Macdonald wa's, always in favor of reciprocity and his last appeal to the people of Canada was on reciprocity in natural products with the United States. Members of both parties hailed the:agreement with delight and it was a gond thing until a few months ago. Mr. Hislop dealt With some of the statements given by Hon. Mr. poster when in Wingham a few weeks ago and pointed out that Mr. Foster was in favor of reciprocity' up to Iast December, The Dominion Government was spending a million doliers se year to este lish trade rela- tions with foreign co ntries and in the -passing 'of ' the ret proeity agreement we have an opport ity of securing a vaIuabte market a our door. By quot- ing ot- ing from the Mail ndE Empire of Aug. 25th last, Mr. Hisl p very nicely illus- trated that live an mals were dearer in Buffalo than in To onto, but the meat in Toronto cost ore than it did in Buffalo. He sho ed that the .meat trusts of Canada ere much worse than those of the United States and he urg- ed as a remedy for the undoing of the trusts was the t king away of their to He betted the votes of protection i all the electors ho were- in favor of the reciprocity a reement. Hon. Geo. P. Graham, Minster of Railways and nals, was the next speaker, and on his, his first appear- ance before an dience of East Huron electors, was gi•en a hearty reception and his address was pronounced by nConservatives both Liberals and many as one of the best political addresses ever delivered i Wingham. Mr. Gra- ham is a very leasing speaker and he made his vario s good points in a man- ner that could e offensive to no person. In his opening remarks, Mr. Graham gave a few con atulatory remarks in reference to th candidate, Mr. HisIop. He an. Mr. Hisl p entered the Ontario Legislature in he same year, and he could truthfull say that no riding was better represe ted in the Legislature than was East uron. Mr. Hislop had given the On'ario Government much valuable infor ation and Hislop always knew w hat he as talking about, and r urged the ale tors of East Huron to g send Mr, Hisio, to Ottawa. He was pleased to see 11 classes on the plat- form, both far . ers and manufacturers. Canada was th most prosperous coun- try n - try in the world and the Conservatives could never go ack from September, 1911, and eriti iso the Government, because in the b s oklets issued by them on the Let wit enough ugh alone" theory, they had given o Government credit for all prosperit Dealing fully with With the paniphl-t Mr. Graham showed the ridiculousno:: a the many argu- ments advanced Conservatives why see sheuld "Le well enoug�b alone:" It was said th t the minaufaoturing establishments Dixie' close when the Liberals attaine, power in 1894. Such was not the eft a. Mr. Graham was freely greeted w h applause when he compared Mr. Potter's: "well enough" as Finance Minis er as a deficit of half a million with Mr Fielding's :.better" as a surplus of thirty trillions, Mr. Graham said that it Wilfrid had pro - sided in 1.896 an he was provided at the present time , usher hi the great. nest era of the tint >fi's history. Taking up thn1 ti -reciprocity argls- nients zegardiltg he weakening of Imperial ties,he t rned the page* of Canadian history b cit to ahow that the Conservatives sine Confederation have advocated just suc a trade agreement as they are now o : posing without any thought of disloya ty. Immediately ter Confederation, Sir John Macaw) Id and his Conserve.. tive colleagues • ere so disloyal as to frame a proposal for better trade rela- tions between Ca ads and the United States. Is it like y that the fathers of Confederation w Id have been willing to pass an act to irrupt the Dominion they had brough into existence? Again "in 187: there was placed in the National Policy a clause to the effect that as soo,. as the United States would admit all . e,a nada's natural pro- ducts free of dut , so soon would Can- ada admit natter 1 products from the United States fr e of duty, Now, you Conservatives, 'tick to the National Policy, because is is it. Every man w o voted for the Con- servative candid - to for this riding in 1891 voted for this agreement. The reason given f. dissolution ,was that the Governmen might consult the peo- ple as to furthe negotiations for better trade relations ith the United States, and after the Government had been returned to po er the speech from the throne, prepared by Sir John' Macdon- ald, contained clause announcing that he had been a le to open negotiations, and that it we hoped the negotiations would be suet sful. Shortly afterward Sir John' died, leaving that Message as his last will and testamen11 ' on the trade question. And now the man who is supposed to be his executor is going up and down the country contesting his will. In 1901 Mr. Borden was on record as saying that such an agreement as the present one would never interfere with Empire trade and in 1909 the same man had trembled for United States trade when the French treaty was negotiat- ed. In 1909 Mr. Foster, who gets on all sides of every question that comes up, had bitingly , emended where was the reciprocity hat' had been promised. "Why, oh w y, this desertion of the policy of Sir ohn Macdonald," he ask- ed. "I'll tat .you, it was because eighteen m in Toronto with more money. • than they knew what to do with said to he leader of the Opposi- tion, `don't do.that now and we're with you'. Suddenly a wing of the Opposition, of the common people, made up of the trusts and combines which says t at you will be hurt by a trade of five hundred millions, while you will not • e hurt by a trade of four hundred and , e. - One map sh uts that if you sell your wheat in the nited States you will be weakened whil • at the same time he is in New York t ying to sell the ore he has takenout f the ground.

Let any Hill roads in rom the south. Our transportation acilities will be so much better, that ins ead of giving him our freight, we wil be taking his freight to haul to th sea by the shortest rou," Mter. Graham , ointed out that there was only one dustry hurt and that was the salt m ufaeturing. He dealt fullywith the m - at question, the ques- tion of inanufac rers bringing in their raw material fr-e of duty, the better market for hors s, etc. In conclusion Mr. Graham ar ed that the manufac- turer in Caned: will benefit by reci- P,co ltY, because the f armar will have e more money to buy his product,thatt the mechanic wi benefit bebause there will be more wo k, and he,can coin - mend higher wa es; that farmers will get more for t •ir produce, and the consumers pay • ss for food, and that the workingma will get fruits that wily the rich ' n can now afford to buy. Ile urged the electors to mark their ballots for islo This most se cessful mein Was brought o a clo with the usual cheers and Mr. Graham left for Kincardine in Mr. R.

The gentleman on the stroke of 70 seems to b having the time of his life. He gees right on making speeches in the o'en air every day, and his voice holds strong and mellow, while all the y, ng fellows are going around with sore hroats. He has been for weeks on rail ay trains, which he abominates, on b• ata, where he always gets ill, in hotels which are only so so, on platforms w ieh sometimes fall down, in weathe from which some- times he has to r away. Yet he is cavorting though a ntario with as much seeming enjoymen as a Cook's tourist in Italy, No wond • r the crowds flock to see him as much as to hear him. Up in Prince Albert, .askatchewan, last. summer, a quiet al farmer, smoking his pipe as he look =d and listened, re- marked at the end, with the air as it might be of Ceas r rendering judge- ment; "It's your job for life."
