“That this House is of opinion that the welfare of Canada requires the adoption of a National Policy, which, by a judicious re- adjustment of the tariff, will benefit and foster the Agricultural, the Mining, the Manufacturing and other interests of the Dominion ; that sucha policy will retain in Canada thousands of our fellow-countrymen now obliged to expatriate themselves in search of the employment denied them at home ; will restore prosperity to our strug- gling industries, now so sadly depressed ; will prevent Canada from being made a sacrifice market ; will encourage and de- velop an active inter-provincial trade, and moving (as it ought to do) in the direction of areciprocity of tarnifs with our neigh- bors, so far as the varied interests of Caa- ada may demand, will greatly tend to pro- cure for this country, eventnally, a reci-
procity of trade.”
MR. TILLEY SAYS:
“THE POLICY OF THE OPPOSITION IS NOT INCREASED TAXATION, AS iT HAS BEEN STATED BY OUR OPPONENTS, BUT A READJUSTIMENT OF THE TARIFF AND REDUCED EXPENDITURES.”
DR. TUPPER SAYS:
“WE DO NOT REQUIRE SO MUCH MONEY AS THE HON. GENTLEMEN OPPOSITE, AS WE HAVE SHOWN BY GUR ECONDMY IN THE PAST, AND Wall 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 PEGPLE AND PROVIDE THE MEANS OF PAYING THE TAXATION THAT iS LEYiED UPON THEM.”
MR. MACKENZIE SAYS:
‘‘We have no idea of having a system of Free Trade.” ‘The policy of the Government is determined opposition to the Opposition.” “Tt is absolutely impossible to carry out a Free Trade Policy.’
SIR A. T. GALT SAYS:
“Perfect Free Trade wouid an- nihilate many vaiuabie branches of industry, and necessarily cause the immediate substitution of direct taxes in lieu of Customs duties, to an extent that, in my opinion, would be unbearable.’

G. VW. HMorrlan’s Speech in Senate, 1878. - Seb — - The Grits ‘Going for” the Spoils. While the commerce and the industries of the country were in the throes of dissoln- tion ; while the Finance Minister was an- nouncing deficit after deficit to the tune of several millions ; while the manufacturers, the farmers and the laborers were consider- ing whether they could possibly stand a repetition of such monetary depression, the ‘< Victors ” were handing forth the ‘‘spoils” from the treasury to their followers. The “ > ’ Fosters, the Moores, the Mackenzies, tne Olivers, the Davidsons, the Annands, the Blackadars. and all of that ilk, were the recipients. of unearned thousands which were, practically, stolen from the people. Whatever fierce partisans demanded was provided. Daily, fresh levies were made on the publie exchequer to reward the free- booters and camp-followers, as_well as the
rank and file of all Gritdomr—E».
Charge the Fort.
CHARGE the fort, the Grits are trembling, Shaking in their shoes ; “
Their show of fight is only blaster - Nothing but a ruse,
Charge the fort, the wall is shaking —
Soon will tumble down ; Brag and bluster will not save it— Bully for Charlottetown !
y
lor it is forward in the melee. Now, Sinclair and McGill,
Since you are so fond of fighting,
Soon you'll have your fill,
Your weapons are not argument, But sophistry and lies ;
If reward it goes by merit, The Patriot gets the prize.
The way the Patriot tells a story And twists it is a fright ;
*T would swear the darkest hour was daylight, Or that black was white.
If you speak of its wrong-doing, It meets you with a frown—
Feign would send you to the devil in charge of Corporal Brown.
Charge the fort, the garrison Is shook and gone with fear ; Subterfuge will not avail them— Now their doom is clear.
Hurrah, hurrah, for Pope and Brecken ! for Brecken and for Pope ;
We will have none to represent us Unless they are first chop.
Hurrah again for Pope and Brecken ! Make their election sure ; Our country suffers with a canker None but them can cure. —ScorsMAn.

THE MAN WHO CALLED THE HIGHLANDERS BORN THIEVES WILL GET HIS DESERTS ON THE SEVENTEENTH.
ae
Grand Rally of the Electors at Rustico Halli.
Pursuant to notice, a meeting of the electors of Rustico, New Glasgow, Caven- dish, Wheatley River, New Glasgow Road,
tustico Road, Winsloe Road, and Brackley Point was held at the above place on the evening of the 4th inst.—J. M. Robertson, Esq., presiding in the chair.
‘The chairman announced that, as the meeting was called by both parties, any of the Candidates might now come forward.
Mr. Brecken then stepped to the front and proceeded to deal with the several questions now agitating the public mind, particularly the Trade Question. He spoke ably for upwards of an hour and a half ; was heard with marked attention through- out, and sat down amid great applause.
Mr. McGill said he had been connected with Coles and Whelan, who passed many useful laws. He was turned out and even persecuted, owing to his vote on the Bible Question. No Protestant congregation would look him straight in the face. (A gentleman who sat near the platform here ‘* brought down the house” by exclaiming, ‘‘Why, then, did you not join our Chureh?”) ‘The Colonel applied himself for some time to the Trade Question, and was attentively heard.
Mr. Pope was the next speaker. He was sorry that the Colonel had introduced Local politics. He was not aware that Mr. Mc- Gill had done so much, and was so impor- tanta man. He shewed the inconsistency of those who promised to repeal the Rail- road Act, and buy off thecontractors, when, instead of*trying to fulfill theiv promises, they at once proceeded to build the branches. He also denounced the action of the Grit Party in depriving the Island of the seat in the Cabimet. He succeeded in obtaining $25,500 a year better terms, in the face of the most determined opposi- tion. Mr. Pope went into the Trade Ques- tion and explained the policy of each party fully, and to the satisfaction of the meeting.
Mr. Sinclair came next, and attempted to disprove some of Mr. Pope’s statements, defended the policy of the Government,and considered he had represented the people and their interests as well as could be reasonably expected of him.
Donald McKay, Esq., M. P. P., in a very clever speech, denounced the Trade Policy of the Government, and faulted Mr. Sinclair for neglecting the interests of his constituents in this section of the country. He moved the following resolution, which, when put, was declared by the Chairman to be carried by an overwhelming majority.
Resolved, That this meeting approve of the National Policy of Sir John A. McDonald, as embodied in the following resolution sub- mitted to Parliament at its last session :
“That this House is of opinion that the welfare of Canada requires the adoption of a National Policy. which, by a judicious read- justment of the tariff, will benefit and foster the farming, mining, manufacturing and other interests of the Dominion; that such a Policy will retain in Canada thousands of our fellow-countrymen now obliged to expa- triate themselves in search of employ- ment denied them at home; Will restore prosperity to our struggling industries, now so sadly depressed; will prevent Canada from be- ing made a sacrifice market; will encourage and develop an active intercolonial trade, and moving (as it ought, to do) in the direction of a Reciprocity of tariffs with our neighbors, so far as the various interests of Canada may de mand, will greatly tend to procure for this country eventually a Reciprocity of rade,
And, that we pledge ourselves to support this policy, by casting our votes, at the forth- coming Dominion election, for the two Liberal
| i i
Conservative candidates, Messrs. Pope and Brecken,
George Smith, Esq., (Winsloe Road) seconded the resolution. He spoke at length in his usual able and_ forcible style, and was frequently and loudly applauded. He and the Colonel had travelled the same road together. He respected him, in a measure, as aman; but he had no_hesita- tion in pronouncing him as a failure in politics. He had assented to every ob- noxious measure introduced by the Local Government, as the journals would prove.
Mr. C. Harris, from Charlottetown, being called for, made an excellent speech; after which Mr. Pope thanked the audience for the courteous manner in which they had received Mr. Brecken and himself, and also for the pledge of support contained in the resolution which was all but unanimously passed by this, the largest meeting they had attended ontside of the city.
After the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting broke up with some hearty cheering.

Meeting at Springton.
The meeting at Springton Monday night was well attended. The school was crowded to excess, and many stood outside the door and at the windows. Mr. Lamont was called to the chair and presided with impartiality. The four candidates for the County spoke at considerable length and were accorded a patient and good hearing. Mr. Brecken spoke first, and made an impressive and telling speech. Mr. Sinclair followed with one of his best efforts. Mr. Pope complete- ly and conclusively demolished the argu- ments of Mr. Sinclair. The Colonel, as usual, made an exhibition of himself, afford- ing amusement for the boys, who repeated- ly cried out, ‘‘ Tag o’ War Colonel,” while others advised him to pull off his coat and ‘“so for Pope from the shoulder.” The Colonel declined, and fell back on some- thing more in accordance with his taste, the sugar question. Mr, Donald Cameron spoke briefly and to the point. Mr. Geo. Howatt endeavored to speak, but was not allowed. While he and his friends besought long and earnestly for a few moments ‘n which to speak on the Trade Question, the electors on both sides refused positively to hear him. One gentleman—a Grit—stated that a man who charged 25 to 75 per cent. interest knew more about trade than the people wanted to hear. Mr. A. B. McKenzie then took the floor and spoke at length. Mr. John Tanton replied with telling effect. Mr. Moore, from Crapand, then talked the Schoolhouse empty. We never before saw an audience get up en masse and leave the speaker to talk to empty benches. While the candidates were speaking the meeting was about half and half. No division was taken, but both sides seemed to agree as to the number in favor of each side.

RECIPROCITY.
THE Argus, in concluding an excellent article, says :—
“The coming contest will be a contest between right and wrong. Itis not right that the people of another country should be allowed privileges which they are un- willing to reciprocate. It is not right that the Americans should have the privilege of our markets free—that they are per- mitted to send wheat, flour, potatoes, oats and other productions of the soil into Canada, while they, in return, tax all these articles heavily. Why should we be made to pay fifteen cents a bushel on barley and potatoes in the markets of the United States, while they can send into the Dominion all the articles without the payment of a cent of duty? There is no justice in such an arrangement as that.
“There is nothing righteous about the present tariff. Let us take the manu facture of printing ink in the way of illus- tration. A Company in Montreal starts a manufactory. They have to go tv New York for the raw material, for that is the only place where it can be ob-
tained. In bringing this raw or unmant- factured material “into Canada, they
have to pay a duty of 174 per cent. When the article is manufactured they can- not send a single pound of it into the United States without being subject toa further imposition of 33 per cent. But how stands the matter with the Americans ? Ink is on the free list, and every manufacturer in the United States can send as much as he pleases into the Dominion without the payment of a farthing of duty! _
‘< Is there anything right or just about this arrangement? A 505 per cent barricr against Canadian manufacturers, and not one cent against Americans! How is it possible for Canadians to compete with their powerful neighbors under such regu- lations as those? Unless the duty is taken off the raw material required in the manu- facture of printing inks, or a duty imposed on the manufactured article coming from abroad, this factory at Montreal cannct long hope to survive. And what will be the result of its suspension! People will be thrown out of employment, and the money of the country taken away to enrich our Re- publican neighbors. The man who cannot see the injustice of continuing such a policy as this is either hopelessly blind or wilfully ignorant,”
