Which shall it be? The Empire has been making a great fuss about the letter containing Mr Blake's resignation, alleging that he had stated in it that he' was not in sympathy with the Liberal party. Mr Blake now says that his letter con- tained no intimation of his opinions on any political topic. But his oppon- ent will go on making misstatements about it all the same. Sir John and his party claim to be the only loyal men there are, yet this is the kind of loyalty they have, for when taunted with the fact that the National Policy bore more heavily on Britain than on the United States, Sir John replied: "I am as far as this question goes up to the handle a Home Ruler. We will govern our own coun- try; we will put on the taxes ourselvee. If we choose to misgovern ourselves we will do so, and we do not. desire Eng- land, Ireland or Scotland to tell us we are fools." • In Kingston, My' Gunn opposes Sir John, hence the following: - The Kingston hosts are marshalled, And the battle has begun; The big brigades are keeping step To "John A., get your Gunn."

Mr John Reith, who is a Belt nomin- ated candidate, for South Huron, has sent his addreee to this office for publication, encorseing payment there- for, We have returned the same to Mr Reith and refuse to publish it. Attach. ed to the address are a number of testi- monials certifying to Mr Reith's good character, &o., against which we have not a word to say, but if what is said concerning the testimonials is true, Mr Reith is putting them to a use that the arties signing them never intended. We are told that some 'erste ago Mr Reith, intending take a situation in Michigtip, asked some of his friends for. testimonials, which • they gladly gave him. Much to their surprise, they se f) them attached to a political address that they do not endorse, yet used in a way to convey the idea that they do endorse his candidature. 'HO WILL YOU BELIEVE? The News -Record says: - "Of all the silly, meaningless, rant- ing rot addressed to intelligent men is the argument that the Canadian farmer would. get 430 a head more for each horse than he now does with the Ameri- ean tariff taken off ; that he would get -SO cents a bushel more for hie barley were the duty taken off. Take the duty off horses, and barley, and the Ameri- can consumer would buy these articles the amount of duty less." According to this, Sir John was stat- ing what was untrue when he said in 1878, that "the Canadian farmer lost 15 cents a bushel on his barley going to the United States." 0 ur cotem also tells Mr I.Rattenbury t hat when he said "horses had drop- ped at least $25 a head owing to the McKinley tariff," that he is saying what is not true. Of course the News -Record may con- sider itself a better authority than the gentlemen quoted, and may persuade itself into the belief that the farmer does not lose the duty, notwithstanding the /fact apparent to the most obtuse, that be does.

A correspondent shows up Mr Porter in the following fashion: "I find by the Hansard and the Jour- nals of the House that this so called 'friend of the farmer' has proved the supporter of extravagance, corruption, waste, and has been the enemy of the farmer and the farmer's intereste. On the platform -'-pompous and verbose; in Parliament -a nonentity. During the four years he was an M. P. he never moved in the interests of the farmer or any one else. That he mis- represented the farmer and his inter- ests is clear from his speeches and votes. He said, as appears by Hansard for '88, p. 201: "The average farmer in the county of Huron derives an income of nearly $900 per annum." And again that "The depreciation of lands in the county of Huron is not substantiated by the facts." The atatements were made in the House to support the N. P, Had Mr Parter owned land and resided in the county of Huron he would have known what every farmer there knows: That both are far from the truth. Farm land in the county of Huron have depreciated from 25 to 40 percent. Few farmers, if a single one, in the county has derived an annual income of 6900 from his farm; in fact, moat of them have been unable to make both ends meet. And this owing largely to the faot that by the N. P. the farmer can- not trade with his neighbors -sell in the dearest and buy in the cheapest market. Dr Landerkin moved, "That as dis- tillers are allowed a rebate of duty on corn imported to make whisky, so farmers who import corn to feed stook sbouldget a tebate." Mr Porter, "the farmers friend" voted nap -whisky according to his vote, is more impor- tant to the farmer. How do the farm- ers and temperance men like these votes of their late M. P.? Whisky - not beef -is the motto. See Journals of House for 1889, page 55. A like 'motion was moved in 1890 and Porter again voted nay. See Journals for 1890 pages 54, 55, and 56. 1887 Unlock moved a resolution declaring "it expedient to remove the duty ($8 a ton) on artificial fertilizers!' Mr Porter's friendship for the farmer was shown by his voting nay. See Hansard for 1887, page 459. In 1889 the same resolution was moved. Por- ter voted nay. See Hansard for 1889, page 93, and Journal for 1889, page, 50. Not only must the farmer have whisky rather than beef, but he must pay $6 a ton for fertilizers to enrich his ferrets feed his beef. This man was elected as a farmer and economist. Ilia votes and epeeoltee show that the "Gospel according to Porter" now is; Increase the national debt -increase the annual expenditure increase the taxation of the people - pile up the burdens on the farmer - compel, by law, to buy in the dearest and sell in the cheapest markets, The election for the Local House, for the city of Hamilton, came off on Tues- day, the candidates being the same as before, Hon. 3. M. Gibson and Thee Stinson. We do not suppose the moat sanguine Liberal expected the result that was obtained. In June last Stinson defeated Gibson by 84. On Tuesday Mr Gibson regained the constitnencry by the handsome majority of 710. We cannot .account for so significant a change other than on the grounds that the people aro determined to stand by honest administration. Both parties went into the contest to win, and no legitimate effort was left undone that - would insure 9ties1ereft. - We are not going to claim that the result is an indication of the way that city will go in the general election, but it certainly should have some influence upon it. However, the election is very gratifying to the Liberals, and if our opponents can extract the alightist con- 4oletioh from it they are welcome to do 00, Farmers Ct'Ippled. • • itohert Patterson, Niesoori voites to the London Advertiser as follows :-Asi a farmer, listened to this speech of Sir john .4..

And I am more deeply amazed at the gullibility of othe of our farmers, who mutiteknow and feel that in almoat every department of their business they are curtailed, cramped. and Crippled by this same National Policy." RECIPROCITY VOTE PROSPERITY LWER TAXES FOR Mr CAMERON Who May Vote, and Where. The Toronto Globe says :-Some of our contemporaries which fell into the error of saying beat there Js a special oath for farmers' sons and owners' sone have not yet corrected it. This is exceedingly important. A wrong im- pression on this question may lose hun- dreds of young farmers' votes. Let it be clearly understood that if a man's name is on the list of 1889; whether as farmers' sons or owners' sons, or in any other manner, his right to vote is abso- lute and unquestionable. Residence is of no importance whatever, and no man can be required to take an oath as to residence. If a man's name is on the list in more than oneoonstituency, even in half a dozen constituencies, he may vote in all, and if he is going to vote for unrestricted reciprocity he should vote in as many as he lawfully may. Liberal Entbasiana ,Threug, heat West liuren READ THIS. H. M. Howell, Q. C., one of the lead- ing lawyers of Winnipeg, has shaken the Conservative party and is working for the election of tbe Liberal candidate in Manitoba. Mr Howell is an ex -pre- sident of the Winnipeg Conservative Association. He I says :-The great question of the day is to my mind the abrogation of the National Policy. Since last election the tariff has steadi- ly advanced, and marching hand in hand with the advancing of the tariff is the advance in the cost of living. If the Conservative party would do as they did at the last election -that is, pledge their oandidate to oppose the Ne.tionalPolicy-I would be with them. Of my own party I may tand almost alone, but before many years it must be that battalions will be with me. I may be now only an outpost, but the great army is soon to follow. Vote For RECIPROCITY PROSPERITY LOWER TAXES ECONOMY Mr CAMERON Vote For; Reclproelt$ Meetings Where it Clreat klucceeet ' SOUTH HURON At a meeting of the Seaforth Reform Association, held on Tuesday, the fol- lowing resolution was unanimously adopted :-That whereas the Reform majority is finch as to remove all doubt of the triumphant return of Mr John McMillan, the Reform candidate, at the coming election in South Huron, and whereas, his services are greatly desired in other constituencies. it is hereby resolved that an members of the Reform Association of the South Rid- ing of Huron we tequestMrMcMillan to leave his election in the hands of the local associations in the riding and place his services at the disposal of the Reform party in the Province, and we hereby pledge ourselves to spare no ef- fort to secure his election by his old- time majority." A committee of five leading members of the Liberal party were requested to bring the matter before the Reformers present at the nomination on Thursday, and their co-operation will doubtless be secured. This will place Mr McMillan in a position to render valuable aid in other constituencies, and will also show that bringing out a Conservative candi- date in South Huron will not secure the objeot desired, namely, to keep Mr Mc- Millan at home. joint McMillan, M.

MR. atUERON'S MEETINOS have everywhere been great successes. Unable to attend himself, he has been ably represented by Mr Garrow, M,P.P., Mr Manning, Mr Jae. Somerville, Mr D. A. Forrester, and others. The farm - ere have shown a great desire to hear Reoiprooity fully discussed, and great crowds attend nightly. A Manchester correspondent writes that the meeting on Monday evening last was a great encceee. Mr Forrester made an excel- lent impression by his presentation of the case from the standpoint of the farmer and the manufacturer. Mr Manning made a rousing speech, car- rying the audience with him to the close. Hearty oheers for the Queen and Mr Cameron brought a first-class meeting to a close. AT THE NILO, on Wednesday evening, there was a splendid meeting in Mr Cameron's interest. Addressee were given by Mr McGillicuddy and Mr Manning, and the meeting was strongly for Cameron. Thursday Mr Cameron and Mr Man- ning held meetings in Ashfield. The Dominion Grange re- cently passed this resolution:— "We are sorry to note that our American cousins have impos- ed such high duty under the McKinley Bill on much of our produce, for the sale of which we have to chiefly go to their markets. Among these articles are horses, fat stock, barley, eggs, etc. We would also fur- ther say that we hope the time will come when the barriers of high tariffs shall be broken down and trampled under foot, ad we think that it would be a time for great rejoicing among farmers.

I wish to justify myself tn the position I am taking at this election. I was born a Coneervative, and hope to die tree to nay .prinoiples, but the fact of the matter IS, cur own noble Sir John has not remained the true friend of the Canadian people, for if he had he would not have rejected the effete of free trade which our American neighbors made two years ago. These manufacturers and, combines have been so good to the old. man, that I fear his head is turned, and be does net pay any heed to what the farmer wants. I believe that when he made up his mind to bring on the elections, he really intended togive us some assistance, but those rings of manufactories and sugar and cotton lords, who are getting rich at our ex- pense, said "You must not go back on us." So we are expected (like a parcel of fools) not to say a word, but just go on and vote as he wants us to do, with- out asking any questions. Ihave been fooled just long enough, by stroking to my party, and thie time I am just going to mark my ballot for my own and my brother farmer's benefit, and go in for nnreetricted reciprocity, so that my barley and horses, and everything else, will not be raised at a loss. Cameron will get my first vote next week, just because I believe the Grit policy is the best thing for us farmers to vote for just now. This is how I feel, and Lam going to vote for my pocket this time. al Yours, J. B. THEY EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN FAVOR OP FREE TRADE A meeting of the Conservatives of South Huron was called at Seaforth, on Friday, for the purpose of bringing out a candidate for thecoming election. The email attendance and the lack of enthusiasm manifested in the proceed- ings had a most chilling effect on the few who in this fine agricultural con- stituency are willing to acknowledge themselves opposed to unrestricted re- ciprocity. •As soon as the meeting was organized; one Burns of Toronto, who had been commissioned by Organizer Birmingham to set the Conservative house here in order, was called upon and endeavored to demonstrate how prosperous the country had been under N P rule, and urged the importance of the loyalty cry in the present contest. Several leading Conservatives present were calledstm'on to address the meet- ing. Mr James Hays, ex -warden of the County of Huron, said he had always been a loyal Conservative, but at the present time he did not agree with the policy of the party, and for hie part he felt like giving his hearty support in favor of the fullest measure of free trade with the United States. The truest loyalty, he said, was to look out for our own interests, in spite of what Sir John Macdonald or anyone else told us. The farmers had never, he believed, required assistance Bo much as at the present time, and he did not think any farmer would be such a fool as to vote against his own pocket. He Would not think of accepting the nomination. Christopher Dale, of Hullett, said it was ail very well for any man wearing fine clothes to oome from Toronto and have the impudence to tell them that the farmers were prosperous, but they knew better. "I have been a life-long Conservative," he said, " and my sons and I own over nineteen hundred sores of the beat land in Huron, and when I say the farmers are in a bad position I know what I am talking about. Polit- ica are all right in their place, but when a person has a lot of fine horses which are worth $30 to $40 less than they were a year ago, I think the farm- ers should drop party and go in for the policy most likely to help them out of the difficulties which that miserable National Policy has brought upon us." These and other addressee iindicateci that the Conservative farmere of Huron are determined to have ' no more hum- bug, and it was aeoided best to make no nomination. At the chairman's suggestion it was decided to leave the matter in the hands of a committee, which virtually means that the Reform candidate for South Huron will pro- bably be elected by acclamation on Thursday next. Mr Weismiller, of Kippen, states that rather than see the election go by default he will take the field as an independent free trader, although few expect his candidature *ill last longer than nomination day. The Toronto Conservative organizer went home a wiser man, and the next time he attempts to talk to a gathering composed of intelligent Conservative yeomen he will probably reinember how ridiculous ho made himself in talking about loyalty and the famers' prosperity at the South Huron Conser- vative Convention. If the sentiments expressed at the meeting Friday are any indication) of the feelings of the Conservative farmers of Canada, Sir John Miacdonald's hour has surely come. In connection with the foregoing the following telegram appeared in the Em. pire of Tuesday :- Conservative announcements of Liberal secessions must be largely dis- counted. Among the Liberal seces- sions who are on the Miniateralist list are Mr Mackenzie and Mr Mills, both of whom are running as Liberal candidates and against Conservative candidates.

To the Editor of the Clinton New Era would like to ask you a few questions on this subject, more espe- cially referring to your editorial of the 20th inst. You state "that the Conser- vatives offer the National Policy as their platform, while the Liberals offer unrestricted Reciprocity with the Unit- ed States," and you counsel the farmers to sit down and calmly consider the issues. What issues? "Evidently what you tell them are the platforms of the two parties. Now has not your party zeal led you into a grievous error? Is your statement a fair one; is it not well calculated to mislead those who read only the NEW EEA and believe what therein is printed? First, you say the platform of the Conservatives is the National Policy; there you stop. Ought you not in fair - nese, in truthfulness, to have said Na- tional Policy and also whatever recip- rocal trade relations with the United States that the Conservative party is able to obtain that they may consider advantageous to Canada ? Yqur -cor- respondent, R. W. Phipps, admits this. He says in his letter of February 13th, published in your issue of February 20th, that "in fact Sir John says to Canada I will propose a treaty to the Washington Government." What that treaty may be he cannot tell, nor any- one else, for the simple reason that neither he nor any other person in Ca- nada knows to -day what the United States will be or are ready to acoede to as in this direction. Sir John A. is too honest, too much above board to come before the electors and say, "put me in power and you will have such and such things," unless he knowa he can fulfil his promise. This brings me to my second point. You state in the second place that the Liberals offer unrestricted Reciprocity. Is not this as unfair a statement, as misleading as the first? Will you, sir, dare to say that the Liberal party will pledge themselves to obtain unrestrict- ed Reciprocity with the United States? You dare not, because you know that neither the Liberals nor any other party can obtain it, however much they may desire it. Had you stated that the platform of the Liberal party was a desire to obtain as free a trade relation- ship with the United States as they, cosld procure, and would lend all their energies in that direction, it would have been far nearer the mark. Yon know, and every intelligent man, Grit or Tory, knows that the Liberal party might as well offer the moon to tbe electors of Canada, as unrestricted Reciprocity. The United States will not give it. I met myself in Toronto, last Saturday, no less than three Americans, in one hotel alone, who laughed at the bare idea. They scouted the notion of unre- stricted Reciprocity, with or without annexation. I have before me a copy of the Cleveland Press, published in Cleveland, February 19, in which there is a cartoon representing a Liberal try- ing to drive a pig labelled Reciprocity aoross a bridge into the United States; a Conservative has e rope tied to the pig's hind leg, trying to pull him back, but on the other side of the bridge is Jim Blain with a club, ready to knock the pig on the head the moment he sets foot on United States soil. No, Mr Editor; if it his to be a fight, let ns fight fairly, and from now to the end of the campaign do not let party prejudice and zeal blind your sight, and give not only youiselves but your read- ers a partial, distorted, incomplete view of the situation. - Thanking you for the space afforded me, I am, yours, eto., JOHN RANSFORD.
