Borden. e The electors of East Huron turned out in largo nuniber* on Tuesday last to welcoaue the distinguished Leader of he. Conservative party. Notwith- standing that the meeting was veiled for 1.30 instead of in the evening, as is customary, the Town Hall was filled to overflow, and nearly 800 extra theirs provided were all required. A More attentive audience, it would be impossible to have, and although many of thele sat for four hours, they listened with interest till the last. The C. P. R. train, unfortunately, was late, and owing to the short time at his disposal, Mr, Borden proceeded at once to the. Town Hall, without waiting for lunch. He was precededn by the Citizens' Band and accompa- nied fro the station by the reception counnittee. P. W. Scott, President of West Huron Association occupied the chair, and asked J. J. Donnelly, M. P., to in- troduce Mr, Borden. This being done, two pretty little girls, Irlina Hennedy and Mabel Swarts, presented Mr. Bor- den with a beautiful floral basket, and received the customary recognition. The editor of the Advance then read an address from the Conservative As- sociation of East Huron, expressing confidence in Mr. Borden's leadership, and congratulating hien on his energy, ability and high character. It re- ferred to the statesmanship of past leaders, and expressed the hope that soon Mr, Borden would be called to the Premiership of the Dominion. Mr. Borden's time being very short, he necessarily spoke more hurriedly than usual, but at the same time with dignity. He is a clear, forcible and logical speaker. He impressed him- self upon the audience, as being a thoroughly honest pian, desirous of bringing about better conditions in Canada, than those which now exist. There is in his delivery not the slight- est trace of that strut, bluster and braggadocio that are so conspicuous in some "orators" (so-called). The Conservative Chieftain made a most favorable impression upon the audi- ence. Mr. Borden referred -briefly to the pledges made by the Liberals when in opposition. No more M. P.'s were to be appointed to office, yet in the past eight years there had been more appointed than in the previous 18 years under Conservative rule. There were pledges of reduced taxation, re- duced expenditure, prohibition, etc„ and none of these had been kept. They had mangled and mutilated the National policy, but dared not destroy it. Under the influence of this policy inaugurated. by Conservative states- men, was due in a large measure the prosperity of Canada for the past eight years. What shall we say of men, Who when they attained power repudiated every promise made in op- position, and when charged with brok- en pledges, said -"We are here and you are there, what are. you going to do about it ? The Liberal leaders of to -day are not the Liberals of past days. They had declared for Purity of Administration and elections, but had failed to prosecute Pritchett and the revelations of Brockville and West Huron were before the people. The Jackson outrage was referred to and Sir Richard Cartwright's shameful de- fence of the Jackson appointment. In this connection, Mr. Borden had mov- ed in the House - "That in making appointments to public offices, and particularly those of a representative nature, party ser- vices should not alone be considered, but selections should be made with re- gard to capacity and to personal char- acter." Was this not a reasonable motion, one that commended itself to every member, Grit or Tory ? Yet Sir Wil- frid called upon his majority and vot- ed it down. The speaker then referred to the Auditor -General. Sir Alex. Macken- zie had done one good thing, in the passage of the Audit Act and appoint- ment of an Auditor, to a certain ex- tent independent of the Government, who would cheek illegal expenditures. .air. McDougall was a man of high character, and although a Liberal, Sir John A. Macdonald continued him in office. There were exploiters and camp followers in all parties, and these needed to be checked and the Auditor -General did his duty faith- fully. He was the defence of the peo- ple against unjustifiable expenditures. The Auditor had differences with the Government of Sir Sohn A. Macdonald but he never realized the difficulty of his position until his Liberal friends returned to power. In 1902 he realized his helplessness against the grafters who would exploit the Treasury; and asked the Government to extend his powers. Their answer was the Audit Act of 1903 limiting his powers. The Conservatives moved to give the Audi- tor the powers he asked for to safe- guard the Treasury, but their resolu- tion was voted down by the Liberal majority. Then the Auditor tendered het resignation. Now he announces that as a ne'v Parliament is to be elected, he Will withdraw his resigna- tion. This is very significant, and Would indicate that the Auditor hopes that the new Parliament Will give hint power to safeguard the money chest from the grafters. He has nothing to expect from those who are now in power, but he has some confidence npperently in the good Judgment and patriotic ,cense of the people of this country, and he believes, apparently, that tt new Par - 'lament will 1* eleeted by the people of this co'ha untry, which Will ve twinee regard for the public interest and .c tlsot mon 1 he eat lext.lra. lizzment of Canada,, who will place i power a new Government for th ' country,- and that that Govermne will enact the law suggested or pc posed by the Auditor -General, el once more continue in this count]. the goad work begun by Sir Ale ander Meekenzie in 1878. Mr. Borden next discussed the tra sportatian problem, dealing particula ly with the country's alleged share the profits to the Grand Trunk P;ficin Wo were to get 3 per cent. on th spent in constructing cent., se tion from Moncton to Winnipeg, we paid 8S per cent. interest on th money and got only 3 per cent. bac it did not seem that our share of th profits would require very much tiro for distribution among the people this country. That loss of a per cen would be our share of the profits this enterprise, The road throug the undeveloped part of the count' would undoubtedly be unprofitabl but they said "We are going to g the Grand Trunk Pacific to opera it." What security had we that th Grand. Trunk Pacific would operate even at a rental of aper cent,? We ha the security of a second mortgage o $5,000,000 of road for 50 years. Th Governinent had originally made bargain which they declared to be good bargain. During the session o 1904 they had made many changes i that bargain. They said "they woul have preferred the contract as it wa but the Grand Trunk Railway h insisted upon the changes, and the were obliged to accept them." "Le nie tell you," said Mr. Borden, "tha the interest liability of the Govern went on the money they will pay ou for the benefit of this enterprise an for which they have no recours which they will not be paid back amounts to not less than $4,400,000 i the bonds issued by the Governmen can be sold at par, and $4,800,000 1 the bonds are sold at 90. The cas provided by this country for th Western section in addition to th guarantee which we give is betweez four and five million dollars. I mad an estiznate in Parliament which T ex posed to the criticism of my politica opponents. The cash and credit- cash and guarantees provided by thi country -is at least $150,000,000 fo the construction of this enterpris from the AtIantic to the Pacific. Th company is to provide about $14,500, 000. The enterprise is grotesque, it 1 absurd, it is ridiculous, it is foolish that the only profitable part of th road should be handed over for al time to come to the Grand Trun Railway in the name of the Gran Trunk Pacific, Now, is it not nonsense ? Do th people of this country realize wha this bargain means ? The Conservativ party has made a plain proposition If it is a good thing to provide nine tenths of the capital and have no con trot over the road, it would surely b a good proposition to pay the othe tenth and own the whole road. (Loud applause,) We stand by that policy to -day, and, if returned to power, we will accomplish it• "It will be little less than an outrage," he declared, "if the people of this eountry support the party which will put back public ownership in this country-. They told us that public ownership of railways would not pay in this country. Let me tell you," said Mr. Borden, "that the Intercolonial is not the only rail- way in Canada that is not paying dividends, and the section of that railway in the Maritime Provinces is profitable even under the present management. This Government was not always opposed to Government ownership. Only five years ago they spent $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 of our money to extend the Intercoionial Railway from , Quebec to Montreal, and in the necessary repairs and in- creased rolling stock necessitated by that course. Let me say to you that Mr. Blair, who has been placed at the head of the Railway Commission of Canada by this Government, says that there is only one • way to make the Intercoionial a paying proposition, and that is to extend its lines at least to the shores of the Georgian Pay, If it were extended to the Georgian Bay we would have both here and in the Maritime Provinces profitable parts of the railway, which would carry the unprofitable parts." Mr. Borden discussed also the ftseel question. The Conservatives believ- ed, he said, in afiscal polity which recognized all the industries of Ca- nada, a policy which realized the necessity to the farmer of his home market, which realized the necessity to the laborer of a fair living wage, Which would keep him hi this eotuntry and not compel him to seek employ, ment abroad. "We believe, he said, "in a stable tarif and such adequate protection asi will give to the people of this Country their own home markets. And this le a policy that we advocate, not only in the manufacturing centres and labor- ing centres, but before the farmers of this country, because we honestly be- lieve it to be in the interests of this Country." In conclusion Mr. Borden Spoke for- tibiy Against the danger of allowing American trusts and monopolists to obtain a footing in Canada. Mr. Borden left then for his train, and wM loudly applauded as he left the hall. 17r. T. Chisholm, the Liberal•Con- servative candhlate,ivais received with hefts, and spoke briefly. he referred bo the d etrattehimi Cant of by the use of 1903 voters' lists, and strongly censured the gerrymander, He claimed that the Government was afraid of the young alien, and feared loot their eiuulidates iii Huron would be defeated, hence the addition of Fast %Vawanosh to East Huron, and Hui - lett to %Vest, He also referred to political crimes of the Ross Gov't and spoke of it as the "right hand, the rough, rotten right hand of the Lauri- er administration." The increase of expenditure from 37 millions to nearly 77 millions -the present expenditure was $15 per head, or $75 to a family of five. The doctor's reference to the Minnie M. caused laughter, He spoke of the Grit campaign literature, the suns of which was -we had good times. If the Government brought good times, they must have control of the weather and seasons ; if so they should be held responsible for the severity of lest winter, Dr, Sproule, M. P. for East Grey folloaved, and after referring to his honored leader, proceeded to enume- rate the broken pledges of the Laurier government, as shown by their eight years' record. He referred to rapid increase of wealth in members of the Government, some of whore were poor men eight years ago, but now own princely mansions and have large fin- ancial interests. The 0, T. P. was then taken up, and the speaker re- ferred to the fact that the Grand Trunk had years ago received many millions, and bad never paid back one cent, and to -day owed the country 75 million dollars, and now they ask for more. The speaker claimed that the G. T; P. running away north of Ontario would sidetrack the province. It would destroy our ports on north- ern lakes, Goderich, Owen Sound, Col- lingwood and others. Instead of these ports receiving the traffic of the west and in return sending back the manu- factured goods of Ontario towns, the province would be side-tracked. Dr. Sproule is an able speaker, with a vast fund of information at his dis- posal. The meeting closed with the cus- tomary cheers. .1 WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM. Hon. Stratton and Jas. Vance Promised $30,000.00 in North Renfrew. The Grit machine and its operations have been shown to be directed by the Ontario Government more clearly than ever, and Lorne Hale, the Lib- eral candidate in North Renfrew, fur- nishes the proof. Mr. Hale on oath states that his election expenses were $40,000. He paid his own personal expenses of $10,000, but swears that Hon. James Stratton and James Vance promised to pay the $30,000. Mr. Hale paid his own livery bills, but another for $1,038 was brought in for rigs which he de- clared he did not order and he refused to pay it, It was sued, and the evi- dence at the trial connects the Grit machine so closely with Hon. J; Strat- ton, and the Ontario Government, that there is apparently no escape. Mr. Stratton, of course, denies Mr. Hale's statement. But it is remem- bered that he denied the Gamey charges, and yet never dared to meet his accuser on the platform, nor did he dare prosecute him for slander. It is also fresh in the memory of the public, that he asked a material wit- ness :-"Can't you forget some of those things ?" Under such circum- stances, the denial of Stratton and Vance go for very little. The statement of Mr, Hale cannot be said to be a "Tory yarn" inasmuch as it 18 the sworn statement of a Lib- eral candidate. MONEY To LOAN -At 4i per cent. on improved fauns.
