The Issues of the

Addresses By Hon,

Mr.

Tvespay ,Junne, 9.

To the Liberal-Conservatives of Sum- merside and vicinity is due great cred- it for the splendid demonstration made last evening in honor of the Hon. Geo. E. Foster and on behalf of the popular can- didate, Richard Hunt, Esq. If the same spirit and energy as was manifested last evening be maintained until the evening of the 23rd of June, we feel assured that we shall then b2 able to congratulate them upon a splendid victory.

The Minister of Finance, in the steamer Northumberland whieh was gay with bunting, had evidence of the popular ap- preciation of his valuable services to the country. It may be mentioned that the shipping at Point du Chene and at Sum- merside was similarly decorated.

Upon his arrival Hon. Mr. Foster drove direct to the residence of his old friend, Judge McLeod, and had dinner there. At 7 o'clock he was escorted to the Market Hall by alarge number of electors and ¢ tizens On their bicycles and in their car- riages. A procession was formed in which there were two bands of music, that of Summerside and that of Miscouche; about 80 carriages, double and single, and sever- a! persons upon horse-back. The young men on bicycles, skirting each side of the procession, was one of the mo-t pleasing ; features.

Arrived at the Market Hall, it was found to be specia‘ly and suitably decorated for the occasion. Appropriate mottoes such as “Canada for Canadians,” “ Branch Railways,” “Our Dairy Indus ry,” &e., were painted on the wall. Oroamental hangings covered the walls and ceiling around the platform, and the effect of the profusion of beau iful flowers was very pleasing under the electric lights. But most pleasing of all was the bevy of fair Jadies from Summerside homes who formed the foreground of a picture in which the solid yeomanry of Eastera Prince County was well represented.

The hall was dense!y packed, hundreds being compelled to stand, and numbers leing unable to oltain admission. The Pre- sident of the Liberal-Conservat:ve As-oct- tion, Neil MeQuarrie, E-q., occupied the chair.

Mr. Hunt was received with applause as he came forward to express his gratifi- cation at the splendid representation of the electorate of the riding, and his pleasure on account of the great demon- stration that had been made in honor of the Finance Minister.

Mr. McQuarrie then read and presented the following

ADDRESS :

Ferguson and

Prince, we extend to you a cordial wel- come to Summerside on the occasion of this, the greatest political demostration that has ever taken place in the metropolis of Prince County.

The high anticipations that were formed of you when you first became Finance Minister, have been more tbat realized. You have filled that very important posi- tion since 1888 with honor to yourselt and with credit and advantage to this great| Dominion, and we have no hesitation to- | day ip saying that you have been the most talented aid successful Finance Minister in the history of Confedecated Canada.

Under the able and wise administration of the Conservative Government at Otta wa, the Dominion of Canada bas grown and prospered as perhaps no other coun- try under the sun. The development of her railways and canals, her mining and manufacturing and agricultural industries lias been phenomenal, and that develop- ment has been solid and substantial, for uo country bas stood the recent wide- spread fiuancial and industrial depression so well as this Canada, which has been the wonder of the world.

The solidity of Canadian institutions and the rapid national progress ot the coun-

ry command the respect and the admira- tion of all thinking men. This, we claim, is largely due, honored sir, to the disting- uished ability and judgment and prescience with which you bave conducted the Department of Finance, ihe most important alepartment in the Cabinet.

In conclusion permit us to again wel- «come vou to Summerside, and in doing so to xpress the hepe,—-uay, more, our en-

tire confidence iuthe fifth consecutive triumph of the grand old Liberal-

Conservative pariy—a party that has one policy for all parts of the country—at the polls on the 23rd of June next, and we ex- press the further hope and cenfidence that when the century dawns it willsee you stil! Finance Minister of the magouificent Dominion of Canada. New. MeQvarrie, Pres. Lib.-Con. Ass’n., Kast Prince. A. J. McLevvay, Sec’y. Lib.-Con. Ass’n., Kast Prince.

Mr. Foster said in reply that he would he ard to pleate if he were not more than satisfied with the magnificent evidence of imterest in the country’s welfare which was mone being given by the electors of East rimce. He had never seen a finer demon- «tration in a town of the size of Summer- wide.

Jn addressing the electors upon the great issues of the day, the first duty of the speaker is to tell the truth, and nothing

ut the truth, about the policies of the

a .

Highest of all in Leavening

Re

RE a eR Re ROR SR what their policy is. Contrast that with the conduct of the Liberals. (Applause.)

Some people say itis time to have a change. What would those peonle think if told that, having professed a religious belief for eighteen vears, they hai now better try another? (Applause.) If a friend stands by you for eighteen years and does that which he can for you, would it be right to cast him off and try another merely for the sake of change? A change, if dictated by prudent policy, is all right, but a change which involves peril should not be contemplated,

What are the simple dictates of prud- ence in this case? Look at the principles, the policies, the records of the two parties, and, before voting, let the electors decide, each for himself independently, which is the better for this count y.

There are two kinds of energy. One is illustrated by the painter who has a beauti- ful and splendid conception which he works out as best he can; the other is re- presented by the critic, who looks at the picture and grumbles and find; fault, and points out what he imagines to be its de- fects, and throws mud and stones at it, and so mars it,

The first is Constructive Energy, the last is Obst: uctive or D structive Energy. The energy of the Liberal-Conse: vatives is of the Constructive kind, that of the Liberals is Obstructive or Destructive. (Applause.)

In proof of this it is only necessary tu refer to the record.

The Liberal-Conservatives proposed tc grant £300,000 sterling for the Hudson Bay Territory—the great Canadian North West. The Liberals opposed the proposi tion with all their might. The Liberal- Conservatives had their way, and last year there were shorn from the tertile fields of the boundless prairies no less than eighty millions of bushels of good grain, which at the moderate average price of 30 cents jer bushel came to the sum of $24,900,000. But only the merest fringe of the great Northwest has yet been settled. The Lib era)-Conservatives propose tu open up this great country by means ofa railway in order that people might goin there and possess and till che land, and in order that their produce might be brought out to the

markets of tne world. The Liberals opposed this proposition with all their might. Their leader, Mr. Blake, declared it to be the most in-

sane undertaking ever conceived. They denounced it in Parliament; they denounce ed itout of Parliament; but the Liberal- Conservatives had their way, and in six years the Canadian Pac.fic Railway was in operation from end toend and is to day the pride and strength of Canada. Nothing has tended more to enhance the credit and prestige of the country than that great continental railway. (Applause.)

In 1878 the Libera!-Conservatives in- troduced the Nationaal Policy for the de- velopment of the natural resources of tbe country and the establishment of its in- dustries. It is manifest that a nation cannot be great if it has but one line of industry. But the Liberals desounced the idea.

When spea*ing of the desirability of a change, someone had sad that “a new broon: sweeps clean.” When he heard those words there flashed into his mind the thought that the Liberal broom is an old one, and that it has done some pretty hard sweeping. When in power f-om 1874 to 1873 there had been swept away under the Liberals no less than $64,000,- 009 of the foreign trade of the country, and the Liberals bad swept up each year they were in power @ heap of $8,000,000 of debt and deficit, besides addirg $3,000,- OUS a year to the taxes. Oue by one the industries of the country had been swept

As an example: Under the Mackenzie tariff the sugar that we use was for the most part made in the United States. Che raw sagar was brought to the United states in American vessels, transfirred to American factories, in which American vorkn.en were employed, taken by Ameti- san railways atd American bottoms to points ia Canada and distributed to the people, who paid the whole price, while he Americans maped a'most the whole | profit. Not a cent went wto the hands of | Uanadian laborers.

How is it sugar in Canadian it Halifax, and Montreal, in Canadian factories, finished product over Canadian railways and sell it tirect tothe Canadian people. Canadian ‘apital avd lavor receive employment an Canadians reap the profit, while the far mers Gf Canada have the advantage of the narket fur their products which the peo ple engaged in this industry afford.

Take another instance : Under the old ‘ariff, the cottons used by our people were manufactured and purchased abrcad, the abor being done and the pr: fits obtai ed foreigners. Now we import the raw material and manufacture the cotton 00ds which we use. Forty-five million pounds of raw cotton were made up last year in Canadian factories, employing a arge number of operators, who are con- sumers of our farmers’ products.

From these instances it may readily be seen how the moderate protection of Can- adian manufactures benefits the farmers.

Edward Blake said in 1889 that the Liberal party would go in for moderace protection. But the people declined to trust them, because they had all along denounce ed the principle of protection, and the event proved their w:sdom on that occa- A short time thereafter Cartwright and Laurier came cown with their policy of Continental Frie Trade, Commercial Union or Urestricred Ree procity. In 1891 Mr. Blake left tne Lib- eral party, stat nz in effect thet this pol- icy, would, if adopted, result in political anion with the United States.

The strong men of the old Liberal party are gone. Sume are dead and some have left the party because the principles by

sion, Messrs.

which it was held together prevail no longer Who can stand up and say definitely

what the volicy of Mr. Laurier is ?

Mr. Laurier said in Montreal last year that he proposed to take out of the tariff the principle of Protection.

But the Liberal leaders in Nova Scotia at once sail that whatever else was made free coa! and iron must be protected.

In Ontario Mr. Lister |

Sir Richard Cartwright to grant them some relief from the unequal and unfair competition of the farmers of the United States. But Sir Richard said, in reply to them, ‘ We cannot do anything for you. Go home, work harder and eat Jess.”

At last the people got their opportunity, and gave the Liberal party, with their old broom, a long vacation.

They diin’t intend to make the vaca tion so Jong, but the Liberals had not pro- fied Ly their experience. Their energy was stil! of the Obstructive and Destruc- tive kind. So the people are now com pelled, in their own best interests, to add to the vacation an additional five years.

Bat the Liberals say that the rural population is not vow increasing,—that people are Jeaving the country and going to thetowns. Well, the editor of the Toronto Globe said not long ago, that it was as impossible to resist the trend cf the pop- ulation as to resist the law of gravitation.

If there are now fewer farmers and more town people so much the better for the farmers, for there are so many more non- producers co feed with the farmers’ pro- ducts.

In 1878 the populations of our towns aggregated 840,000. Now they aggregate 1,600,000.

Each family of five persons will con- sume on the average $300 worth of pro- duce in the year, A hundred and sixty thousand on such an average have, under the National Policy, ween added to the population of our towns.

It is easy to figure out pretty closely how much enlarged the farmer’s home market is as a result of the flow of popu- lation from the country to the town. In | point of fact the Canadian farmer’s home market has been increased since 1878 from $51,000,000 to $96,000,060 a year. (Applause. )

How has it been with the foreign mar- kets? Our sales of agricultural products abroad have increased from $27,000,000 in 1878 to $48,000,000 in 1£95, showing an increase of foreign sales to the amonnt of over $20,900,000. (Applause).

Under tre auspicescf the Government and the direction of Saunders | and Robertson, the dairy industry has re sulted in sales of cheese to the amount of | $15.000,000 a year.

Of butter there was a falling off, because | our buiter was ¢f unequal qnali:y and did | not ov that account please ihe critica) taste of the British consumer.

Professor Robertson a grant year from the Government and placed | some tine shipments of factory-marle | butter upon the market, with the result |

that it took the next highest to that of | Danish butter, and Ja-t year twice as

much butter was sold as formerly

Tt was proposed in the same way, to place chilled meat upon the British mar- | ket at the best adva»tage. Au-tralia sends a hundred thousand tons cf frozen meat to those markets every year. If Australia can du that why cannot Canada, so much nearer the British market,do better. | A vote was a-ked of Parliament this year in order that Prof. Roberison’s proposition might-be dealt with, but our Liveral ; Opposition Gpposed the vote, cb-tructed the business of Parliament, and it was not passed.

Ta 1359 the farmers of Niw Be: n «ck po.uted out to him through one of their representatives in Parliament that the Americans were sending bef and pork iuto their markets and selling them At| the next session of Pariiameut there was | aided a sufficient protection to the meat- producing interests of the country with the result that sales of American meat in our market 9 the amount of $3.500,000 | a year has dwindled downto $500,009. | (Cheers.)

The net resalt io the Canadian farmer | was an increase of the sales of Canadian meat inthe home market from $161,000

Mr. Wm. Gibson, another member of the Liberal party, be'ieyes that the protec- tion of fruit is cssential.

The good Grit town of Brantford, Oat., is represen'ed by the Boanerge e of the Liberal Pariy, Mr. Wm. Patterson. A short time ago the Waterous Engire Com- pany offered to establish works there if the town would pay them a bonus of $30,000. Chis Liberal town, including Mr. Patter- son, its representative, voted the money and thus extended protectioa ia its most advanced form.

There is no consistency in the Liberal party, and they are not to Le trusted as regards the interests of the country.

It would cost halt a million dollars to hold the additional session of Parliament which is necessita'ed by the Opposition obstruction of this year, and the preven~ tion of the passage of the supplies needed for carrying On the public services of the country. But when Parliament does meet, the grant of $60,000 asked for the development of the chilied meat enterprise shall be made. The Liveral-Conservative Government will put it through. (cheers)

Not long agua person had putto him this * Why cannet Mr. Lanrier have his life insured ?”

Not being good at conundrums he gave it up, and the replycame: “Becau-e no man can draw out his policy.” (Laughter )

Mr. Foster then proceeded to point out that the whole public debt of Canada, apart from the amounts taken over from the provinces at the time of Confederation, was accounted for by the expenditure in connection with the Intercolonia] Railway the Canadian Pacific Railway and the ea- largement of the canals,—all works which every Canadian, Grit or Tory, now admit to be essential to the country.

The burdencf the debtin 1879 was $1.59 per head of the population, and in 1895 waz $l.79. twenty cents is all the additional taxation resulting from the mapy great nationa] works which the Gov- ernment of Canada has proj~cted aud con- structed within that period.

The Liberal-Conserva ives have added largely to the free list. Tea, coffee and | other articles of general use, heavi y taxed

conundar a3

under the revenue tariff, are now free of duty. As to sugar, the Goverament remitted

taxation lb-tween 1891 and 1895 amount ing to $19,500,000. In 1878 the burden of taxation was $3.95 per bead of the pop- ulation. In 1895 it wes $3.42.

The average duty imposed to-day is les: than 17 percent. The d.iference be:weeo the management of tae Liberals and the Liberal-Conservatives is that the latter have doubled the free list, and have man- ufactures going on of many of the articles which are dutiable.

Mr. Foster then explained the Schoo) Question in precisely the same way as Sir Charles ‘iupper and the Hon. Mr, Dckey. He referred to the fact that the

rotection Of minorities in respect to education, was, at Confederation, insisted apon by Sir A. T. Galt, acting in behalf of the Prutestants of Quebec; that in 1870 the same rigit and privilege was, by com pact, accorded tothe minority in Mani toba; that it was believed by Lord Car- nirvon ani others that the p-ovis‘ous of the law afforded “a perfect guard” against the insasion by the majority uf the right of the m.u rity; that four or five years the m nority bad memorializ d the Governor-Gener: |-:n-Couneil, setting ®~-th that the compact had been broken ; that the dispute between the Government of Manitoba andthe minority of Munitobs had been referred to the ccurt’, und that the courts had finally decide! that the mnority hada grevance; that the Gov- erament and Parlicement of Canada wa, uider the Jaw, bonnd to remedy the griev- ance, just as it is bound to provide ‘o~ the payment of th: uationa! debt with inter- est; that they were not boand to interfere

Mr. lant then came forward and re- minded the electors of the confident pre dictiv ns of success made by the Libera!s previous to ferm r elections and warned the electora not to be misled by the confilent predictions of to- day. He felt sure that the grent Libera!-Conservative party would be tri-

umphant cn the 23rd of June, as it had

been in former elections, and he contrasted

the conduct of Mr. Mowatt with that of Mr, Taillon, Angers and Desjardins. It is clear that Sir Oliver Mowatt is very doubtful about the success of Lis party,

while the members of the Government are confident of victory,
