II) They persist in speakiug as it it applied to manufactures generally as t well as to satuura1 prodw ta, and they ed indulges -4k and unemployed work- men. When they are taken to task and referred to the terms of the agree- ment. they protest that it will come t.. that eventually, and insist that oar American neighbors will somehow ferns us to do what our Government expressly Waited to do, and has since ezplicitiy stated that it has so inten- don of doing. Introits we mink how wel are to be forced, or what pressure the I Americana eau being to bear on us s now that they have not bad in their power to exert at any time during the last forty years or more. They assert but tbey will not explain. (21 They speak as It the adoption of reciprocity involved the loss of the j British and the substitution of the , American market, whereas it will merely open a wider door to the lat- ter, and remove restrictions. They know, of course, that after we get reciprocity our dealers will Must as free as before to buy and sell in British markets, and that the preference to British imports will remain un- changed. (3) Our population is growing very rapidly, and as it increases our trade I both export and import must increase. It does not follow, therefore, as The Goderich Star seems to imagine, that I ally increase in our trade with the I'nited Slates after we get reciprocity I must be at the expense of that with the Mother Country. 14) They talk as if the American touts and border farmers were wait -1 ing anxiously at the line for our Par- I Iiament to adopt the agreement in order to Hood the Dominion with their surplus products and ruin our dealers arid farmer. How, then, do they ac- count for the fact that these same trusts and farmers were the strongest opponents of the adoption of the measure by the United Sttees Con- gress, and that these sam farmers protested that they would be ruined h chew t•odutcta from Canada 1 talk excitedly of c factories, ruin - last week iron] Miss Turner. who war spending thesummer Hi thernount/tine neat Chengtu, while mi., Wellwnnd remained in the city in- charge of the new hospital.

Certainty they have a Well- founded grievance in the facts Ill that Canadian bacon and flcur can be Ibought at a lower price in Glasgow and Manchester than in the cities and towns of Ontario. and (2') that they ere compelled to pay a duty on eggs, 'fruit and vegetables at seasons when the Canadian producers are quite un- able to supply the demand. Fortuo- ately the workingmen are beginning !to understand the full significance of the fact that the men who organized the opposition 1.. the reciprocity agreement and who are furnishing the funds to continue to pay hired journalists to carry on a loyalty cam - 1 paign in Onta, iolnd disloyal 1:'ren.•h- men to spout treason in Quebec. are the millionaires and monopolists who I have been bleeding; consumer and producer ahke with the aid of the tar j iff, whose course is guided by selfish- ness and greed ani not by puttiotiein or philanthropy-, cud who know that [herr extortionate protlte will be re - 1,,e d under reciprocity. • They begin to realize. too. that re- ,•iproctty will bring not only cheaper foal but better times. with more work !and higher wages, and they will vote accordingly. 151 Sir James %Vh,toey and others talk as if they really iselieved that our east end west railway 11 tile depended solely on the tariff, and titer with the passing of the agreement our wheat would all at once begin to flow south through the States instead east of tbroughour own territory. If itisamat- ter, then, of tariff merely, and not of shorter routes lower rates, and better facilities. why does the grain not go through the States now to bond 'an] so escape the duty. or why have these clever and grasping neighbors of outs Dot long since thrown off their duty and by ruining our railways ttieri to tore us into annexation 1 ;6) Lastly, for time would fail me to deal with all their sopbietries. they tell us that the home market ;disorder 85 per cent. of our natural products, leaving only a surplus of 15 per rent. to ezpott. They take care not to ex- plain that their 145 per cent. includes what the farmers consume at home. Ever- then 70 per cent. would be nearer the mark than 85 per cent. Moreover, every intelligent map knows that every year our agricultural popu- lation (taking the West into account) is increasing much faster than our city and town population. while in the United States the reverse is the case. Consequently every year we shall have more wheat and flour for export and the Americans will have lees, and therefore we may look for an increasingdemand for our products in both the itish and American mar- kets.

They berth spoke briefly In reference to the great gatherinsf there and the character of the speeches delivered on Use occasion. Chas.
