Meeting in the Rink.

SYNOPSIS OF SPEECHES BY

AND HAVILAND.

MESSRS. POPE

The following is the conclusion of the secretary's report of the meeting held in the Rink on Monday evening last :—

Mr. Pope—Electors, you have to-day heard two of what are called the great men of Canada—two men holding offices that are supposed to be held by able men in political life. You have had an exhibition of the desperate tactics to which the Grits are resorting for the purpose of securing their election. The Premier and Finance Minister of the Dominion have been sent for to place before the people of this country, from their standpoint, the questions of the day. You would naturally suppose that these two great men would not fear any at- tempt made by Local politicians to confute their argument, or address the electors upon the same question. But what do we find? Mr. McKenzie, in the most autocra manner, refuses to allow his opponeiuts to speak at the saine meeting with himself. You are aware, gentlemen, that the trains are under the control of the Government, and when Mr. McKenzie and Mr. Cart- wright would conclude, the electors from the country would be informed that the trains must return. The people from the country who are anxious to hear both sides of the great questions upon which you are called to vote, have been thus deprived.of a privilege which they have always enjoyed. We were not afraid to meet even the great guns that were brought down to try and defeat myself and Mr. Brecken. I ask if you have ever listened to a man for two hours who had said sa little to interest or inform you as the Finance Minister. Gentlemen, the question in* which you are most interested—‘* Reciprocal Free Trade” —was not touched by him. We are anxious to have Free Trade with the adjoining States. This country prospered more during the ten years we had reciprocity than any other period of its history.

The people of the United States have all they want. They can send their oats, bar- ley, and other articles of farm produce into the Dominion, free of duty ; but we have to pay a duty for all articles which we ship to the States. If we had reciprocity, but- ter, wool, potatoes, oats, and whatever we have to ship would be admitted free of duty, and we would have a large market for all our stuff. It has been said by some of the Government party, that if coal com- ing from the States is taxed, the price will be raised here. The statement is absurd. We have mines in Nova Scotia that would supply the world, and if they were proper- ly worked, and consumption was large, the mines would aford labor for thousands of miners. ~How could the price of coal be raised by putting duty on? The compe-| tition would be keen, the greater the demand the greater the supply, because | mining companies would have the assu- | rance of a market for their coal if these mines were kept in full operation. It has been stated time and again and repeated in your hearing to-day that Sir John’s policy is to raise the volume of taxation. ‘his I deny. We simply propose to take off the taxes where they bear heavily and unfairly. , We propose to give our farmers a chance to supply what is required of their produce in our own country. In short, to give them a home market, as well as to try and secure

by reciprocity a market in the States. Ifa duty is placed upon oats coming into our market from the States then. speculators would not leave this country to purchase their oats and bring them by canal and otherwise from the States all the way down

| to the Lower Provinces to compete with our

own. production. With regard to raising the price of flour, Mr. McKenzie has said that a duty on that article could not possibly raise the price, as that was fixed in the English markets. Mr. Peter Sinclair, when told of this by myself at a meeting in the country, said that Mr. McKenzie some- times talked bunkum in Ontario. Ié that be the case we may fairly conclude that the Premier has talked bunkum to-day in order to catch votes. You are aware that the present Government raised the tariff to 174 per ,cent., and yet they are in poverty bringing in deficits year after year. Sir John’s Government had a plethora of money under a 15 per cent. tariff and were continually reducing the debt of the Do- minion and lowering the taxes of the peo- ple. Gentlemen, the hour is late and it would be improper for me to trespass too much upon your time. But there is one thing which I wish to say before sitting down. The writs are out for the election, - The election has been sprung upon the peo- ple, and you can judge of the desperation of the Government when you see. the Premier and Finance Minister scouring the country and drumming up their supperters, We expect, gentlemen, his ardor will bea little dampened before he returns to Ottawa. He will learn that Nova Scotia will roll up a large majority against him. He will not have six servile followers from this Island asin the past, but we find everywhere, from East Point to North Cape, a determin- ation to aid in achange of government.

Senator Haviland—Mr. Chairman, I thank this meeting for the cordial greeting which has been given to me when request- ing me to address you. By Confederation all of the Provinces of this Dominion were consolidated and made one country. The interests of every Province are the same. We find to-day that the Premier and Fi- nance Minister of Canada have visited our Island because we are an integral part of the Dominion. They have come cap in hand, and are begging for the votes of the electors of this Island, in order that they may secure a majority in the next House of Commons. They have their set speeches, which they deliver everywhere, and which the people have read. To-day when the Liberal-Conservative candidates proposed to meet some of the charges made against the Opposition, they were refused a hearing by the Chairman of the Grit meeting. Both sides of a question should be presented to the people give to them a chance to judge for themselves which policy would be the better one for the Government of this Do- minion to pursue. Had Mr. Brecken been given an opportunity to reply to Mr. Cart- wright he would have sleeted him. You have heard, gentlemen, to-night. the elo- quent defence made by Mr. Brecken of the Highland Scotchmen who were declared by the Finance Minister to be thieves and rob- bers. Iam glad that to-day Mr. Brecken had the manliness and_ the courage to stand before the great guns which have been brought here to try and defeat him. Naw, gentlemen, you have heard to-day from the Finance Minister that the policy of Sir John McDonald and Mr. Tilley was the means of bringing this country to its present state of commercial depression and financial difficulty. The statement thus made by Mr. Cartwright is false. Under Sir John’s Government this country was becoming rich; but the man who addressed you to-day has been placed in such a humi- liating position that he-has been compelled, in three of his Budget speeches,to announce deficits. The surplus which, under Mr. Tilley’s management, the country was accus- tomed to have placed before them, were quickly turned into deficits, and this, too, with the taruii at 174 per cent. If the in crease of 25 per cent. had not been placed upon the oid tariff. The total deficits, dur- ing the time the present Government has been in power, would have amounted to $17,000,000. Mr. Tilley has lately stated that the tariffcan be brought back to 15 per cent.; and by proper management the country will not be compelled to see its credit suffer by yearly deficits, as is the case under the present regime. The Op- position opposed the increase of taxation; but, gentlemen, your own representatives— Messrs. Yeo,Sinclair,Mcintyre and others—

voted to place an _ increased burden upon the _ people. You see that the late Government rolled u p an-

nual surpluses to the extent of over $i0,- 009,000 during the six years they were in power, whilst Mr. Cartwright has’ had annual deficits to the amount of $5,000,- 000 during his four years of office. One of the most cowardly acts a man can be guilty of is to endeavor to throw upon the shoulders of his opponents the responsibility of his own acts. Mr. Cartwright has en- deavored toshuw that Mr. Tilley and his coadjutors were responsible for the increase of debt since McKenzie assumed the Goy- ernment, Mir, Tilley is above suspicion, he has beed a long time in polities, his public

life remains pure and unstained, yet he has been slandered by Mr. Cartwright and Mr.

Blake. ‘To-day these slanderers would be glad if his mouth was closed and his hands

o

tied by his acceptance of the Governorship of his native Province.

Gentlemen,—Their is one matter which T wish to speak about in connection with to- day’s proceedings, EVery Grrr Memper or rug Loca GovERNMENT was wpon the plat- form at Mr. McKenzie’s meeting, There
