The Signal, 1911-9-19, Page 3SQUEALING BEFORE THEY ARE HURT. BIG MILL PEOPLE HAVE NO REASON COMPLAIN. A splendid •udienee leseembled in Victoria Open House last evening to hear the election issues discussed from the Liberal standpoint. The candi- date. Mr. M. 0. Cameron. made ao eloquent appeal for the support of the Literal party ou its pant record and present policy : Mr. D. B. Wood, men - eget of tbe Wood Milling Co. of Ham- ilton Bad ex -president of the Dominion �[ilters' Association, gave • busheme see prerentetioo of the reciprocity 4 uestime especially as it affected the milliog trade, and Mr. W. Proudfoot, M. P. P.. who returned at a late hour after addrehsing a meeting at Clinton, Added a brief but convincing speech. The hall wars lavishly decorated with British Hags- the flag we a!' delight t,o honor. AIex.l(Sautrders, %manager .f the t:oder-ich Organ Co., acted as ch ter- tian. and in opening the Meeting, betaking as n manufacturer, he de - Oared his emphatic approval of the policy of reciptocity, believing that the general development of the . ouutry that would result Iron its :adoption would he of benefit not only to his own business but to manufac- turersfLe neral y. He spoke of the old reciprocity days. vv hen the shipping trade of Godetich way more active than it has ever been since, and de- clared there was 130 reason why better trade relations with the United States should not lead to a great revival of ..hipping activit; at our harbor. Mr. D. B. Wood. after showing how the great statesmen of both pol- itical parties in Canada had been in favor of reciprocity, spoke of the op- position Which was beiog put up by the trusts, the combines and the mon- opolies. "Yt u cannot make omelets ,without breaking eggs so it was im- possible to bring about a great te- fortn without hurting some interest, and so the eighteen Grit millionaires of Toronto. the hog combine. the can- ner. combine :and the rest of them were squealing. Reciprocity was a measure for the benefit. not of the mil- lionaires and the cnuabioes, but of the masses of the people—the farmers and the workingmen, the miners, the fleh- ermen and the lumbermen- thework- er. of the country. , Mr. Wood spoke of the wenderfu) expansion of ('enalisn t.ade tinier 'Abele' rule. Some said it was the old N. P.. but, admitting that argument. was it not better to keep in power. the Liberal statesmen who were able to get results from that policy thattthe ('"nservative party never got:' Re- ciprocity was a development of the National Policy of Sir John A. Mac- .loneld, and who would say that Sir John A. Macdonald way disloyal When does disloyalty begin % asked the speaker Canada is wheedle traci- ng to the extent of $100.000. 0100 an- nuelly with the United States. Have a become disloyal? When is this "Americanization'' and "coelinental- ..tn" going to begin? Reciprocity will build this country up greater and tronger than ever. Coming then to the statement sent out over the name et the Western Canada Flour Mills Co.. Mr. \Vood gave rea.nr.@ Why he believed the milling business would be Ienefltted, rather than injured, by the carrying out of the agreement. The only grievance the millers bad, or thought they had, was with reference to the market for by-products. in re- seed to wbich they thought at first 'that they would beat a diaxdvantage at compared witiethsir United States rorupetitors. But the price of these . by-produete was now iv -tunny higher in Canada than in the United States, and in his opinion would probably remain at a blgb level, fur this reason: i'nder reciprocity there was going to he a great levelling up of prices of term products, and under tbe stimu- lus of better prices there would he a vett increase in the production of cat- tle and hogs and a great development of the dairying industry. This would iacrea,e (be market for bran and ',horde and at the sane time oats, barley and other articles which en- tered into comnpetitian with the mill by-products ,as feeding stuffs would be iucreaaed in prioe and a larger quan- tity of the milling products would he used instead. So thee while be. at first, with other millers. thought the milling bushiest. would be placed somewhat at a dialvantage, he had regi is opinion after etndying the matter WIT and taking th• fact: into °onside ton, It w v' N r 1 d sit that tbe millinghese roes was not s going to he rained, a sereral large companies had teen fotmed and new stills projected since theanoorriloement of the reciprocity *Remnant.

He predicted • groat sweep of the country by the party of reciprocity on election day. ;Mr. Cameron. Mr. Cameron was heartily greeted AS he toile to addrees the meeting. He mentioned Mr. Lewis' bottle -et to answer his letter inviting him (Mr. Lewin) to engage in a series of joint meetings during the campaign. He spoke of the services be had been able to give to the manufacturing Intereste of this town in his position as Mavor, and declared his intention to stand by then. 'nneone in the augience men- tioning John Ran.ford. Mr. Cameron paid his mspects for a moment to tbe salt cntnhine. Talk of nutting men out of employment ! The Hereford combine had paid money to men in this town to keep their salt plants idle Mr. Cameron then turned to the «'extern Canada none Mille 00.'s re- cord and gave the following interest- ing information : How Is This for Watered Stock l The Ogilvie Milling Co. dssteweu ot the Big Mill here to S. A. McGaw in September. 1900, for $26,000. He made torp: changes in it and then sold it out to the Lake Huron & Menitnhe Milling Cnmpauy, making a consider- able profit on the deal. The capital when making the changes in the old toil! Wes supplied nrinripelly by the Goderich people. The Lake Huron & Manitoba Milling Cn. roan for a few years successfully and paid good divi- dends. ' An arrangement was then made whereby the Company sold out to the Western Canada. which was formed for the purpose of taking over the Go derich mill and the Brandon millow k ( n n as the Rally's Nillsl. and► Mackenzie & Mann put in $1011,000.1 the Western Canada being capitalized for $1,500.0014.

Mr. Cameron's revelation of the way In which the Western Canada people are piling up profits made s deep impression on his hearers, who eoiild not but Bee that the talk of M- ing "put oat r,1 husineee" was merely an election dodge.

Mr. Cameron spoke et some length on reciprocity, making It clear that it was net a hard and fest treaty h"• simply an agreement which could he brought to an end by either party at env rime. In cnnelnsion he paid an eloquent tribute to Sir Wilfrid Laurie, and hie work in building up a United Canada. Mr. Proudfoot in his brief tAeres. dealt with the question of prodneer and cnnarrner. showing how bnth would he heneflted by reciprocity, end ridiculed the cry of "Let well enough Meese." He pointed to Mr Lewis' annual effort to fill his cottages on the lake bank with American vi,itnee n� evidene, that. that gentleman did 'not fear the denationalizing influence of United States gold. Mr. Prnndron, denounced the Bouraasa-Monk-Borden alliance, which threatened to uncle the work of Confederation. The meeting wits brought to a else.. with ,the singing of the Natinnn' Anthem. and cheers for Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr. Cameron. ANOTHER LIE NAILED The fact that a lie will travel much faster than the tenth has been demon- strated a good many times in this campaign. As an instance. the anti - reciprocity people are rir•culeting the yarn that on the ocher side of the line it takes 9,240 lb. of hay to make a ton. 'There is not a syllable of . truth in the statement. A ton of bay on the other aide is 2,000 ib. just as in Canada. 'Thiel is just a sample of the falsehoods that are being circulated lis the desperate attempt of the trap)., and romhinea to defeat reciprocity. The Toronto News is one of the chief sources of misinformation, and the electors would do well to dishelieve .over -thing it says until atter election day. ' A Vote for Lewis Is a Vote for Disunion. A Vote for Cameron Is a Vote for a United Canada. The Conservative journal. tell us that Qir Wilfrid Laurier it Hg ht it g hard battle in Quebec. He is fighting the battle of • united Canada. a battle in which every patriotic Canadian ought to be by his side. He is fighting against a movement which, if successful, would never Quebec from the rest:of ()armee in sentiment and destroy the work not only of Laurier but of Mac- donald and every other statesman who has helped to build up Cpnada "What." tasked Sir Wilfrid, in his speech, "do the'Conservative and National- ist papers discuss? le it principle% No. They appeal to passions and to prejudices. They set race against race and creed against creed. 1f I hate done aught in my fifteen years it hat; been to build up a united Canada. a land in which all races and all creeds could live in peace and contentment. This they would destroy." Sir Wilfrid buries's opponents are the men who tell the French -Cent - diene that the English are their enemies who disembowelled them on the Plains of Abraham and are now seeking to shed their blood in the were or England. These breeder', of mischief, stirrers up of strife, aro the officially recognized candidates of the Conservative party in Quebec. There is no dif- ference between Conservatives and Nationalists there, except that the Con- servative appeals ate more bitter and desperate than the others. 1t is Sir Wilfrid Laurier'. belief that Ontario and Quebec can are made one in Canadian sentiment and in British sentiment His great in fluen cw over the French ('•radian people has always been used r' make Freneb-Canadians loyal and a onteoted citizens of Canada and of the Empire. instead of carrying on that great patriotic work, hit opponents are striving to undo it. Not a word of protest comes from Mr. Borden. He op pesos to have nn idea of the problems of statesmanship in this country. Hi. only interest in Qnebrt is his hope that Sir Wilfrid Laurier may lose s few votes there. Such a man is incapable of giving *the country strong, wise leadership. Bishop Mills on the Loyalty Cry.

Yours very truly, (Signed) N. L. Leach, Vice -President - AFTER OUR BARLEY A Detroit Firm Places an Order Pend- ing the Adoption of Reciprocity ' 11. W. Rickel and Company, Detroit, writes as follows: "We are welling to you. and desire to request you to give us the names of grain dealers in On- ; tarso, either with grain elevators or otherwise, equipped to handle barley ' or malting quality In car lots for shire ment to Detroit, Mich.. in the event that the proposed reciprocity agree- ment is accepted •, by the Canadian Government. In case of favorable a• tion by the voters of the Dominion of Canada, we would be prepared to take on malting barley 1n car lots up to 300,000 bushel6 or more. We would like very much to get 1n touch with some of the grain dealers at this time, and correspond with them with refer- ence eference to the matter herein referred to." A CLEAR CUT ISSUE The "Privileged Few" Against the "Unprivileged Many" 1f ever there was an election In Canada in which the Privileged Few stood on one side and the Unprivileged Many on the otber, surely this is that one. The men who form the backbone ot the anti -reciprocity forces are the packers with their 60 per cent- divi- dend.; the maleters who have been buying Canadian barley at an average of 19e below Buffalo prices, and finan- ciers and promoters who have become millionaire. by the floating of mergers which the present system renders pos- slble. On the other side 1s the great mw of unorganised farmers who are asking simply that they be allowed to sell certain of their products In what, bet for an artificial barrier, to be re- moved under reciprocity. would be for them the highest market In the world. Surely, with the issue so plain, with the reason for the opposition so mani- fest, no farmer can doubt on which side hie ballot should be cast -Week- ly Sun.
