THe Daity EXAMINER. i SEPTEMBER 4, 1878. POLICY OF THE VENISTRY.
‘We have in this country at the present mo- moment NO 1pEA of having a system of Free Trade.”-—-//on. A. McKenzie at Toronto,
“The policy of the Government is deter- mined opposition to the Opposition’’.- —Pre- mier’s Speech at the Drill Shed.
In other words, the policy of the Gov- ernment is to slander their opponents and do nothing for the good of the country.
THE OPPOSITION PLATFORM.
A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF THE TARIFF.
To make the duties fall more equitably.
To make it the interest of the United States to accord Reciprocity.
To revive the languishing West Trade.
To remove the present barriers to the de- velopment of our Agricultural, Mining and other Natural resources ; and gen- erally
To encourage Home Industries with Home Markets for Home Produce.
To promote our Fishing interests and pro- tect the rights of our Fishermen.

THE PLANK ON WHICH SIR JOHN McDONALD STANDS.
‘“‘ Nerruer ar LoNpON OR RPISEWHERE HAVE | GOM® BEYOND MY MOTION IN Par- LIAMENT, AND HAVE NEVER PROPOSED AN INCREASE, BUY ONLY A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF TARIFF.
‘* Joun A. McDonarp.”
‘*Weecan well understand that we may raise the duty on woollen, cotton and other goods, but lower the duty on articles of general consumption which we cannot pro- duce, and the volume of taxation may be LESS IN FACT, although it may be raised, at any given time, higher than it was before. If a man were obliged to pay a cent more for his cotton, and had a cent taken off his tea, it would be found, by caleulation, that he was a gainer by the operation.”--—Sir Johi in Parliament.
MR. TILLEY’S PLANK.
Me. uniey then took up the pubtic ex- penditure, showing that an average expen- diture of $22,500,000 was all that was necessary, and the expenditure ought to have been kept within that, instead of an average, as it has been, of $24,000,000. The policy of the Opposition was Nor IN- CREASED TAXATION, as it had been stated by their opponents, but a readjustment of the tariff and REDUCED EXPENDI- TURES. These were the planks in their platform, together with encouragement to our manufacturing industries; ship’s ma- terials, raw materials, machinery not made in the country, free; 15 PER CENT. on non-enumerated articles ; and an increase of the tariff on such articles as we can pro- duce in the country, giving employment to our people and a HOME MARKET FOR OUR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE,
DR. TUPPER’S PLANK.
‘*T trust I have satisfied the House tha IT IS NOT a@ question of high or low taza- tion, any further than this, that, inasmuch as we governed the country with a small taration, and inasmuch as we are prepared to govern the country again without those extravagant expenditures made by the pres- ent Government since they have been en- trusted with power, all we ask is, Nor THAT THE TAXATION OF TIE PEOPLE SHALL BE INCREASED, because we do not require so much money as the hon. gentlemen oppo- site, as we have shown by our economy in the past, and which we are prepared to practice in the future, but that the money shall be levied in such a way as to FURNISH EMPLOYMENT FOR THE PEOPLE AND PROVIDE THE MEANS OF PAYING THE TAXATION THAT Is LEVIED UPON THEM.”

Precept vs. Practice.
When in Opposition Mr. McKenzie said : ‘““THE LOWEST TENDERS SHOULD ALWAYS BE ACCEPTED, and that the people were robbed of their hard-earned taxes when a Minister of Pnblie Works conferred wpon partisans and favorites contracts that legi- timate tenderers offered to take at a lower figure.” And when in power Mr. McKenzie said : ‘‘T assert, in the first place, that since the inauguration of the present Government, the most scrupulous care has been taken to have the contract system so administered that it would be ditficult, If NoT IMPossI- BLE, for the public contractors who are friends of the Government to obtain any advantage, or that public contractors, who are opponents of the Government, should suffer any wrong in the administration of that Department.” And the result is thus seen : Tenders rec’d by the present Gov't, with 5 per cent. security.
Tenders rec'd by the late Government.

Another Grit Insult to Irishmen.
We referred a few days ago to the insult offered by Mr. McKenzie to the Irish elec- tors of the Dominion when he stated in one of his Maritime Province speeches that Sir John McDonald’s Government had been held together by the ‘* shilelah,” and to the insults of a Grit newspaper published in the neighborhood of this city by its black- guardly allusions to Mr. T. H. McGuire, whose alleged Irish ‘‘ brogue” it sneered at. Inthe past we have had to refer to the same treatment accorded to Mr. Nicholas Flood Davin by organs of the McKenzie Government, and now we draw attention to the latest result, taken from the columns of Mr. McKenzie’s chief organ, the Toronto Globe. Let the Irish electors read and then ponder over this paragraph, penned in the office of the ‘* Big Pusher” of Gritwa. -—
‘¢ Tf every one who is comparatively ig- norant, with rather demoralized religious ideas and a spirit that is content with little is to be excluded from Canada,’ for instance, where shall we begin and where shall we end? Levy a prohibitory tax upon the Chinese, is the same thing to be done with the Negro or the East Indian, with the Italian OR THE IRISHMAN ?”
Now we have every respect for our fellow- countrymen of English and Scottish birth and descent, as much respect as it is pos- sible to entertain; but we protest against the insult of Mr. McKenzie’s chief organ in its base efforts to degrade Irishmen in the estimation of the public. Irishmen are an important element in the population of Canada, and have contributed in no small degree to the developement of any great- ness to which it has attained; and, there- fore, for Mr. McKenzie’s leading newspaper to insult them, as it has done, is simply an outrage, which every spirited Irishmen, be his creed what it may, should resent. The insults of Mr. Alexander McKenzie, and his organ should not be forgotten.—King- ston Neves.

United Temperance Association.
The National Lodge continued in busi- ness session during Saturday and Monday. The work was done with harmony and dispatch. The Lodge determined to con- tinue the publication of the Temperance Union, the organ of the Association, and arrangements were made for an efficient and energetic management. It was determined to undertake the establishment of a lecture agency, and a scheme was adopted for the raising of a guarantee fund. On Sabbath evening a public meeting was held in the old Temperance Hall. A good audience turned out despite the dark and rainy weather, and stirring addresses were made by Revs. A. M. Phillips, of Chatham, Ont. ; T. W. Campbell, of Coburg; J. McLeod, of Fredericton, N. B.; J. Mariner, of Auburn, Me.; and Prof. Foster. The election of officers was proceeded with on Monday with the following result:—
Rev. A. M. Phillips, Chatham, Ontario, President.
J. W. Morrison, Esq. , Charlottetown, P. E. IL., Vice-President.
Prof. G. E. Foster, Fredericton, N. B., Secretary-Treasurer. | Rev. D. J. Wetmore, Clifton, N. B., Chaplain.

‘¢ You know it as well as 1, what we are
‘in need of is native industry ; for our in-
dustries are the representatives of our capi- tal and our toil. Men will speak to you of commerce and the restrictions placed upon it as thoug: it sufficed for a country to pur- chase in order to boast of its commercial enterprise. Do not, forget, gentlemen, that foreign goods simply represent foreign labor, no matter to what extent we may flood our country with them. A country grows rich out of the product of the toil of its children. An article manufactured by a mechanic during his day’s labor, forms part of the wealth of the country, and nothing is lost in its production ; It is so much net gain. If we rest satisfied with importing foreign products we shall be obliged to give in exchange for them their equivalent ia money. Thus we might im- port unceasingly, and yet never do a sound commercial business unless we ourselves are manufacturers. Had we manufactories, had we the means of giving employment to the strong arms that are outstretched for labor, we should see the raw material around and about us developed into pro- ducts that would add largely to our wealth. These products would in their turn de- velope a commerce far more stable, more enduring and remunerative than that which drives our capital out of the country. Every year there is sent out of Canada over twenty millions of dollars for the purchase of articles, the greater part of which could be manufactured at home. We must en- deavor to retain the money in our own land—it is necessary for the support, the education and the comfort of our families.” — Judge Coursel. ———-_~ —-- -SGpeo
‘‘T am anxious for such Protection as will be reasonable and just, such as can be ap- plied, as every one knows, WITHOUT IN- CREASING THE TAXES THAT ARE IMPOSED ON THE PEOPLE. Such a policy of Protection, instead of increasing the cost of articles of prime necessity, would necessarily decrease it, for after a time, our manufactories having acquired strength and perfection, we could manufacture as cheaply as our foreign competitors, and would thus save the cost of transportation and customs duties, which represent at least a quarter of the value of imported goods,’”—Judge Coursel,

“Our Government has now ruled us for five years. They took charge of a prosper- ous country ; they now return it to us ex- hausted, nearly ruined, deprived of its capital and hampered in its labor. WHAT HAVE THEY DONE WITH OUR PROSPERITY.” ——Judge Coursel.
“‘T witnessed the advent of the McKenzie Government, and, if it had not my sympa- thies, at least it enjoyed my respect, and I cannot reproach myself with having in any way tramelled the liberty of its action. If 1 to-day interfere it is because | CANNOT ANY LONGER REMAIN AN UNMOVED SPECTATOR OF OUR RUIN. I feel myself called upon to strike the warning note, and without a pang of regret I quit the honors and peaceful tranquality of a seat on the judicial bench to assist, if it be not too late, in saving onr common country. —Indye (‘oursel,

lt now transpires that Mr. Cartwright is not quite so sure of his election in Lennox, for just before leaving for the Maritime Provinces he held a lengthy conference with Mr. Massey, of Newcastle, the result being that he expressed his willingless to accept the nomination for West Durham, providing «a satisfactory requisition could be secured. The requisition, however, is not yet forthcoming. —Oftawa Citizen.

The Owen Sound Tiines says the Neebing
Hotel was struck by lightning on the 9th, But what of that ?
Struck by a thousand lightnings, still ‘tis there
As proud in ruin, haughty in despair ;
Oh! noblest fabric reared by hands of man,
Since Art’s dawn on Canadian shores began!
The Sarnia Canadian thus anticipates one of the Globe's tariff notes: ** Mr. Jotham Slabsides, of the Swampum shingle mill, last month doubled the capacity of his establishment by substituting a span of mules for the blind horse which had pre- viously furnished the motive power. Aad yet the myrmidons of the U. E. Club teil us that Canadian manufacturers are not prospering. ”
