POLITICAL MEETING.
The political meeting held here on
Friday evening last in the interests of
James Bowman, the Conservative
candidate for East Huron, was in
point of numbers, and enthusiasm, a
decided success, The hall was packed
to the doors, and many ladies being
present, Mr, Frank Metcalf ably and
impartially performed the duites of
Chairman.
Mr. Bowman was the first speaker,
and in a very forcible and convincing
manner, discussed the question of Re-
ciprocity, touching principally on the
financial aspect, pointing out the
many dangers and entanglements,
that the ratification might eventually
lead to.
He was followed by Thomas Mc-
Millan, Hullett, for 45 minutes. Mr.
McMillan devoted the first part of hie
speech to attempting to prove that
both political parties in Canada, had,
for the last forty years been in favor
of reciprocity, but got only so far as
1899, leaving the past twelve years a
blank. He discussed the financial
aspect, and when dealing with horses,
clammed that the farmers in Ontario
sold only worn -our horses, and that
the buyers sold those to the farmers
of the West at high prices. From
his manner of denouncing the money-
ed interests and the manufacturers,
it was difficult to ascertain whether
he was a free-trader or a protec-
tionist.
Mr. A. H. Musgrove followed for
over an hour and went very fully in-
to all the points in dispute. To the
question "Give it a trial" he pointed
out that if Sir Wilfrid was sustained,
the agreement would come into force,
and could only be repealed by parlia-
ment, and that it was hardly likely
that the Reformers would turn round
and repeal their own account. Who
was to say if it were injurious? This
would to
w ld hav e be decided ata general
election, in which the United States
would: have something to say. He
warned the electors to consider the
question seriously. We were entering
on new ground, We were surrender-
ing our fiscal independence, and who
was able to say how it would termin-
ate. We are now prosperous and in-
dependent, and should think well be-
fore changing. He pointed out how
it was viewed by the Ieading states-
men in the United States, and that
the chief aim of all was :—(1) To
secure our natural resources. (2) To
prevent a closer alliance with Britain.
(3) To have commercial union and
finally annexation. The meeting dos-
ed by singing the National Anthem,
At the close of his address Mr. Mus-
grove was warmly congratulated by
many, who considered it one of the
best ever delivered in Blyth.
The meeting has very much
strengthened Mr. Bowman's chances
here, as many Liberals were deeply
impressed with the national aspect of
the question, and the danger that
seems imminent to Canada, should
this agreement become law.
