The first week of the campaign in West
Queens was brought to a close on Satur- day afternoon at Hunter River hy a large- ly attended meeting in the hall at that place. Among the politicians who have been attending during the week were the candidates, and D. A. McKinnon, M. P. Alex Martin, Dr. McNeill, A. A. Le- F‘nrgey.M. P. Edward Hackett, M. P., Joseph Read, M. L. A., F. L. Hasaard, K. 0. as well as others.
On Saturday the bali was illied to the
doors by an orderly and attentive audi- cnce. The enthusiasm was not so great as usually oharacterises meetings in which both candidates are present; but every speaker was greeted with good ap- plause and at the conclusion cf his re- marks receiv.-d appreciative cheers.
The meeting was about equally divided
as far as political feeling was expressed in cheers and clapping of hands, which were the only audible and visible evidences of popular favor.

and suitably introduced the candidates Horace Haszard and A. A. McLean both of whom, he said, were well known to the electors.
In the absence of A. A. McLean who
was called to the bedside ofa client in Stanley Bridge, Alex Martin took his place and was the ilrst speaker. Mr. Martin in opening was glad to see the large attendance at the meeting. He ex- plained the necessity of the present elect- ion and the calling of Parliament. to de~ olde the question of the Grand Trunk Pacific. Because of the omissions in the Railway Bill the country is now put to the cost of another session. The Gov- ernment have at the present time to justify their record during the past seven ysnrs. They will point to thc increased trade, but this shculd not give credit to them but to the people themselves. There has beeua great in- crease in mines, in fisheries, and other sources of revenue unaffected by the Gav- ernment, but what credit can the Gov- ernment claim for this increase? They will say they opened markets because’ of preferential trade but in 1890 the exports were almost cqual to those of 1902. Menn- while our imports from the United States havc increased, and if this should continue Canada will not be holding her own. The Liberal pirty have no real policy but a policy for what- evcr section it will suit. Protection is the policy of every country in the world but Briln.in,1intlevcn now Great Britain is adopting it. The battle for Protection was fought and won thirty years ago in the States ns the Liberals and Conserva- tives are lighting it now; and he would ask if it bs true that protection raises the price of » goods, why is it that we go to the United States for the cheapest goods l Protection docs not mean high prices for goods. Great Britain now feels free trifle is not best for her; for she sees that goods are being piled into the country while other coun- tries witli protection will not accept her ponds. \Ve do not want high prcter tion but we want. sufficient to protect our
manuiaeturers -the farmers best friends. We must have one policy for the whole Dominion, not one for each section as the Liberals Mr. Martin told ol the intro- duction of Prefersritial Trafle. Sir \Vil- frid in i896 advocatel a mutual prefs r- ence arranged by commission and later when he went to England he gave a one sided preference. Do not inthe future heed the promises of the Liberals in view of thc broken promises of the pa st_

Speaking of the duties, Mr. Martin in- quired wny the Government took oil! the duty on Indian corn. This has never been explained. The effect of the present duties is that the exports of farmers’ pro- ducts are decreasing to the States, while our imports are increasing. The Conserv- ative party will see that the Canadian market willbecontrolled ‘by the Cana- dian farmer. We will treat the American farmers products asthe United States treat us. The Liberals have increased the expenditure for the country. They will say that they are expending more on P. E. I. but even then we have not got our proportion. Is your freight to Char- lottetown cheaper than it was Z
A farmer-"Yes, it is"
Another farmer-‘°No, it is not". Mr. Martin-"Well, gentlemen, I will
leave it to yourselves, you know what it is i"
Mr. Martin continuing referred” to the
establishing of poultry stations which he claimed were a failure. .ln closing a re- ference was made to the taking oil’ the duty on binder twine and the speaker quoted a well known Liberal member, Mr. Heyd‘ and the Canadian Manufacturers, asking for a protection cf 121) per cent and they would sell as low as the Americans. Mr. Martin closed amid cheers.
Horace Haszsrd in taking the platform
was greeted with cheers. He referred at first to the good order in the previous meetings and hoped the some would here prevail. He, for the first time, had the privilege of following Mr. Martin and he regretted that Mr.McLeanwas not present as he (Mr. Haszard) had promised today to answer some mis-statements he(Mr.McLl had previously uiade. lie was here to say the Liberals navis a policv-a policy for thc farmers of this Province. He was here to say the mnnu- facturers, forwhom the Conservatives are clamoring, are prospcring under Liberal rule. Still he had no hesitation in saying the Government would first consider the interests of the farmers in Prince Edward Island in particular. Which policy is inostsuituble for us( The Laurier Government, he would claiin, was the hestfor this 1"ro~ vince. Never have we had such progress and seven years ago no one would imag- incthnt in 1904 we should have such prosperity. In discussing the hinder twine question he asserted that Mr. Martins arguments were absurd. He explained that when the Libcrtila came into power the binder twine manufacture was in the hands of mcnopclists who had bought outthe factories in diilcrent parts of Canada. To remedy the imposition of exorbitant prices the duty was taken off. lie appealed to the farmers of the Province as io whether they were not getting higher prices.

Now they can ship them at a good price. la mechanics' wages as in all other lines there has also been an increase in rates. llc oulcglsed the Minister di Agriculture, lion. Sydney Flshe, for his good work on behalf of the farmers of Canada. In butter alone the price has so greatly increaectl because of the improved quality that factciies can contract now for all next summer-`s man- ufacture. in cheese, too, the quality hes so irnprcvod that the price given here is equal tothe highest in Ontario.

Speakingof the transportation rates heshowed the necessity of a long haul rate being smaller in pioportion than the short haul. in the latter case br- twecn P. E. Island and the mainland there is more handling of the goods and It is therefore nt>cessary_to have a higher rate. In the matter of the fiscal question Mr. Haelard quoted figures to show that increased expenditure had resulted in greatly increased revenue. in the postal service, a lower postage rate has been given,the postal note system has been introduced and other improvements made. The railways,the canals,the mines, the agricultural department have had increased expenditures, but there has been great lrnprnveuit‘n's. Mr. lla~- zsrd in speaking of poultry fattening stations sold the l. bcrals were deserving ofgreat credit for increasing the price cf poultry.
