As the eye glanced around the building thoughts in mottos glittered.

Jenkins, Neil McLeod Walter Matheson, J J Davies When the ministers appeared on the platform the audience broke forth in prolonged cheers, nd it was some seconds before Hon. enjamin RJgers,president of the Qu°en's ounty Liberal Association arose to in- troduce the ‘first speaker, Hon. W. S. Field ing, .Minister of Finance. In doing so he said that itgave him great pleasure to introduce a gentleman of so wide an-experience as Mr. Fielding. His eputation had reached our shores long " go and he could add nothing to it.

As Mr. Fielding advanced he received ai

tremendous outburst of applause abd it was some seconds before he could proceed. He said he had great pleasure some time ago to accept the invitation of Sir Louis Davies to visit the province to addressa meeting. It was the first time he had an opportunity to address an audience in _ the capital of the province, but- he knew something of P. E. Island audiences. In the natural order of things there must be at least two political parties. The people must belong to bne or the other. The mass that stands between makes and unmakes a. Government. He took it for granted that ' the larger number present _were in _ sympathy With the great Liberal party of Canada., There were others present, he believed there were many present who would give their vote for what was right. Some of these days there will be an election. If he knew when he would not tell; seeing that he did not know he could take the audience into his confidence. (Applause)

It is possible for an administration to re-

tain the reins of power for six years with out holding an election. If defeat is dead sure and the administration will be wiped out as Sir Charles predicts it wouldbo DOS' sible to stave off the election untilAugust,

‘ 1901. (Ap'pla.use.)

What blessingsfof good government had

the people prior to 1895? He could not lm- agine old Liberals who were going to be influenced by Sir Charles Topper-,QHA should pay attention toold Conservatives. Was the adminstration prior to 1896 sat- isfactory ? The blessings of good govern. ment were not enjoyed. He 'did [not say that during the Conservative regime there was no progress. Tie it down with all the energy possible still there must be progress. Was the progress such as would satisfy a progressive people? :At the timg ofthe inauguration of the preferential tar- riff he had met a manufacturer who was about to_leave the country and in conver- sation with him he asked if the national policy was satisfactory? He said it was not. Mr. Fielding asked himlto give the

he is a resident of the country and a pro- minent and successful manufacturer. In' 1896 the people of Canada were told that there was not peace in the land. Who made it otherwise? Who brought it about? In order to settle the question Sir Wilfred Laurier took his public life in his hand. He claimed that it was best that 1 the question should be settled by the pro- vince. And if to-'day Sir Wilfred Laurier and his government had nothing else to tell the people but thesettlement of that Questionfsomethlng hadbeen done. ' I

settled why don't we 'hear from S_irCharles Tupper, who deserted the people whom he 'was going to die for in 1896. If the Greenway government did an unjustice, the ” Conservatives are in power in Manitoba. Why don't they settle thefques- tion in 2901?

There is no question touched upon more

freely than the public expenditure. The Conservatives say that when they spent $38,(00,000 they were condemned. Yes I they were condemned because they did not have it to spend. They charge the govern- ment with spending42 or 43 millions of dollars, but they have taken care not to challenge the expenditure in the proper place. On the contrary 99"/0 of expenditure was voted for by the Con- servatives. ~ _

At the last session there was not a div- ision-upon a singledollar. If they will ~ not discuss in parliament they should not go through the province making mis- statements. _ . . _

In the Tupper-Foster campaign the ¢‘Crow’s N‘es€deal”ias Mr. Foster calls it

-has been dwelt upon. Not one Co

, nserva-

tive member recorded his vote against it. In fact Mr. Foster more than once rose in . his place and wanted to know when the work would be proceeded with. Four years ago there was no general recogni- tion of the Yukon.

In 1897 vi ssels came out bringing gold. Then the story of its wealth" was mid to the world. when it became valuable there was doubt about theownership. There was a popu- lar impression among the, American people that they owned the whole coun- try.

It was necessary to assert our claim to sustain the territory of Britain’s dag. In orr`er to doso Canada had to send an arm- ed force. That force had tobe

. The duty on raw sugar is higher to-day. The duty on refined article is exactly the same. The increase of duty on theraw material has caused thousands of dollars to go into the treasury of the Dominion. He then took up the reduction on cotton and woollen goods, hardware, etc. '

In kerosene oil the only change

made has been in favor of the consumer. The duty was 6 cents, it isnow 5 cents. It is now being transported in tank vessels which will make freight charges less.

Does Mr. Foster want to reduce it? Let him begin with any of the ne :essaries of- life and state that he is going to make a. reduction. No, he goes to the manufact- urers who are against the consumers.

Since the advent of the Preferential Tariffprosperity had gone on instead o f the falling of chimneys new ones have beenerected and factories ‘are running day and night and wages are higher.

After the reference to the opening of

the 14 ft. channel on the canals, Mr. Field- ing drewa parallel between that work and the preparation for Canada’s present prosperity made by the Government. Sir Charles wanted Mutual Preferential Trade. He (Mr. Fielding) was in favor of that if it could be got, but it could not now and it was a question for the -British people todeclde. He then characterized Sir Charles as a Grand Old Humbug, and concluded by paying a tribute toSlr L. H. Davies. He resumed his seat amid prolonged applause. , . , It was 9.45 o‘c1ock when Hon William Paterson was introduced and received with rousingcheers.§He spoke till 11.10 o'clock, his pointed arguments delivered in power- - ful but persuasivetoues being punctuated by frequent and hearty applause. 'Sir spolié £51' about lfqrtyminu-

He wasprowd of this flne"ine7e`ting whiehlie declared to be at its best the

largest gatl erin z he had seen in Prince Edward Island. He was cheered again and again down to the close when he pro- posed three cheers for “Fielding and Paterson,” which were given with a; will Three cheers for Laurier followed then three and a tiger for Sir Louis, and three. cheers for the Queen. It was close mid- night when this very large, moa atten- tive orderly and successful meeting was brought to a close. '_ .

,Tau Exnibition managment have secured in addition to the grand pyrotech- “fic display of Breworks the service of Messrs Kelly and Ashby the great crim- cdy acrobats and also Auguste Dewell the great .Erial trapezes equilibrist. Messrs. Kelly and Ashby and Auguste Dewell are now exhibititing in St. John. With those and others before mentioned in the press, the horse races and more to follow the visitors will have something well worth . seeing from the time the Exhibition opens on Tuesday morning the 2-Sth inst. till its close on Friday, the 28th inst. These at- ractions willbe in full- blast at night. As guch attractions have never lbefore been given to the public at any one gathering on this Island a Rrcut. crowd of people may be expected here durlnlr the exhibi-

tion week to see them.
