" A SQUARE' DEAL" FOR EVERY MAN " magnansosailateep LAST NIGHT'S MEETING At a well -attended and enthusias- tic - gathering in•.the town hall yes- terday eveuing the Lib,- Conservative 'candidate in South Huron in the for thcQmingeelection, Mr. et W. Tre- wartha,' set forth some of the .poli- cies of his party and' why it should' `receive the support oat the electorate rather' than the representative of the gavermnent. Capt. W. G Martin; . M,LA., of Brantford, supported Me. Trewartha, holding the attention of the audience while he gave. reasons wliy the gov- erntrten°t should be defeated and the Lib. -Conservatives, under the lead- ership of Hon. R. B. Sennett, should be given a chance. to show what they can do for •the eountiy, - Mt. W. J. Stevenson, president of the local association, occupied the chair, and Col: H. . •Combe, pre- sident of • the organization in South Huron, spoke briefly, calling attention to the present depression in the textile industry. Mr. D. Cante-' Ion also occupied a place on the plat- form. . Mr. Trewartha spoke of the work of the county councils in Ontario, being in a position to do so, as be has served as a member of such a body for many years, of their im- provement - of highways, in educe- tional matters; in the improvement of agriculture, etc., thus raising the standard of living in the province. When the standard of living is high in any country, as it certainly is in Ontario, its `eitizens cannot cenapete in open markets with the citizens of countries where the standard of liv- ing is low. This is the reason Can- ada, if it is to keep up its standard of living, must have protection in its home markets. Mr. Trewarth,f spoke of the 'importation of New Zealand butter into Canada,which served to demoralize to a great ex- tent the dairy industry ]sere. He.al -. so oited the fact that ,our markets were often flooded with Foreign eggs with the tariff as it has been. The only thing the United States would need to do, Mr. Trewartha said, when they had a surplus of eggs, if the King government is returned to power, is to drop. the duty on eggs, when Canada would also drop its duty, and the Canadian market would be glutted with eggs. "The coun- tervailing duties," he thought, "would work to the detriment of Can - tide, eafher than to its benefit" Mr. Trewartha felt that if 112r., Bennett and a Conservative government were returned' on July 28th they would work for the building up of Canada, both agriculturally and industrially, would serve Canada first, thus serv- ing the Empire, and he appealed for the support of the electors .on the strength of his service as a county councillor and as a member of the Legislative Assembly. "As you have cone here to hear Capt, Martin I will not occupy more of your time," he said. "But I ask -you to support me on July 28th and if elected will do my best to represent all the peo- ple of the riding of South Huron to the best of my ability." ' Capt. Martin, who is a vigorous speaker, with a ready flow of fang- uhge, did not hesitate to blame the government for a part at least of the industrial depression in Canada. "Premier King," he charged, "at the beginning of the campaign, in his `keynote' speech, chose to ignore, the presence of business depression and spoke in high-sounding language of Canada's great prosperity. Singe that he has modified his statements somewhat, has been led to acknow- ledge to some extent the fact that there is a serious problem of"uncia- pleynaent, but explains it as. 'a tem- porary depression, reflecting the ec wor onomield.' " depression sweeping over the "With -a country of matchless re- sources and only nine millions of people and nearly a quarter of a Mil- lion people unemployed at the Pie - sent tinge;" said Capt. Martin, "there must be something wrong and so far the government has done nothing 'about it. Had there been tariff pro- tection instead of tariff reduction during the regime of the King 'gov- ernment the men new without work in Canada would be in their jabs," he declared, r .Capt, l\lartin-said it was the pol- icy of the Conservative Party to en- courage prosperity and to provide for the expansion of the country, and grappling with the 'problem of un- employment was a federal job. He dealt with the budget, which he de- signated a "May Day Stew." "Much had been made of the countervailing duties," he said, "but this scheme worked both ways, if a foreign dein- try, wishing to export some commo- dity, lowered its duty, Canada would. have to lower its tariff, too. Can ada'e action depended upon' the etc - tion of seine foreign country." The government was malting much ado about British , Preference, - also, but the speaker went on to show that the preference was more visionary than real. Many of the articles en the list woo articles which Canada. never imported ,From Britain: "Yon farmers can imporeehay free of duty," he said alnid applause.. "Or if you with to send a bouquet . of to flowers to your lady Imo,' they can come in free of duty." Showing.. that the preference list 'b was -something of a sham the.. speak- C er declared'that while the rate •pn 1 seventy-two,. articles.had been low s Bred; that on one hundred and. fifty, two bad been raised. - t I Capt. Martin maintained that the t THE HOME PAPER government which would save to Canada - the major portion of its home market' was the government which would most effectively build 'up Canada. He gave: figures to show that Canada is supplying little more that one sixth of its home market at present. "The only' way 'to \keep the hone -market;" he declared, ",is by a sane and effective tariff," I'1 told" of one fruit grower who -was selling, strawberries on the Buffalo, market and the third day he took a load to sell found that the duty had been raised from throe quarters of a cent a -box to seven cents a box, cutting off the .market completely. So does Uncle. Sam protect his home market, "You cannot keep all the people on the farm. In order to , have a home market industries must Dev- ise," sh Capt- i . Mart n said' as p he spoke p of the textile depression in Canada. He touched on the hosiery trade and What the depression in the industry meant to this community. _: Over twenty millions -of pairs of silk hose had been imported into -Canada last year, - many coming i rom Japan, where workers were paid at a rate of twelve cents per day. Canada is the ,champion. dumping ground of the world," ho declared. - "$900,000,000 went Trois Canada to the Upited States last' fear," declar- ed the speaker, :'and at least sixty per emit of that might. 'just as well have: been kept in Canada. Bennett says, ',Canada First' Tariff stability is a cure for Canada's ills." Capt.. Nactin urged his hearers to vote for Mr. Trewartha., who would support Mr. Bennett in his deters• m i na tic to r n build u dCanada, p"No Party in Canada is more patriotic., both to Canada and to the Empire. than the party built by Sir John A. Macdonald, who deelaved a 'British subject I ',vas born, a British subject. I will die,' but in building up Canada we are building up the Empire. And by voting for ,' e. Trewartha you are voting to give Mr. Bennett a chance to put in force a .policy ,which will give Canada a chance." SOME GOOD LETTUCE A couple of heads of lettuce have been on exhibition in O'Neil's win- dow the past few days which leek as if they night supply several fami- lies for Wine days. One measured twenty-one inches, the other 111 a- cross with a head like a head of cab- bage. They were grown in Cuning- hame's garden, under the' care of Mr. J. Clminglaame, who is eighty -severe years of age but Whose eye for a good garden is just as ]een as ever.

It was a good game, affording plen- ty of interest to spectators, At,the end of the sixth inning the score stood :5-o in favor of Clinton and it looked as if it might be a white-• wash. But hi the seventh inning the Port Huron boys woke up to the fact that they were going to have to re- turn n home and report a bad beating at the hands of the Canucks, so they hurried and made five runs, Clinton making but two. No runs were made in the eighth and ninth innings and the game ended 7-5 in favor of Clinton. ° The .line-ups were: (Port Huron•--•,Tenel, ab; Woods; 2b; Sedley, ef; Chapelle, ss; Catu- line lf; Cadow; 15; Hayworth, If; Mackey, e; Eannaelson, Archibald, p. iClinton--P.
