-- MISCHIEVOUS TACTICS

For months to come the political ears of Canada will be assailed by vociferous praise of the so-called Roblb Tariff. Premier King in his

Massey Hall speech fired (he first shot in the last campaign and. among

other things and with accustomed circunilocution declared the Robb Tariff the best kind of a tariff for Canada.

What, in brief. is the Robb tariff? ft is, a practical reversion of the National Policy: it is the opening of our door to foreign comtpetition; it is giving foreign manufacturers

and foreign farmers who have refused us . access into their markets, a right to exploit our markets. What in-

fsrence are we -;o drew from this? What is insinuated, if not openly stated. by those who declared, as Premier Klng declared, that the Rohlb Tariff is the best for Can- ada? it is simply that our manu- facturers are bleeding the people by overcharging for their goods. that our farmers are getting too much for their produce. Hence the "best policy for Canada" is one which. ‘like the Robb Tariff, will merniili foreign manufacturers to come. in with their goods, and un- dersell Canadian made goods, and permit foreign farmers and specul- ators to bring in their farm pro- ducts and undersell ours. if it were true tbs-t Canadian manufacturers and farmers are ex- lortioners and bleeders of the peo- ple, if it were true that Canadians needed protection against their own monopolistic manufacturers and farmers there would be some dc- fence for the Robb Tariff. But the vet-y reverse of this is true. Our manufacturers by patient and of- ten unprofitable effort succeeded. under the National Policy. in build- 111! 11D industries and industrial centres which gave employment to thousands and afforded a borne market for 80 per cetrt of alllour farm Dmduots. As arotnlt of the abandonment of this policy and the aubotitulilon lot the Robb Tariff, hundreda of these industrial cen- tres have beemdepopnlated and thousands of wage earners have

Premier Mackenzie King does not like the look of tbingsin Quebec, He is hoomed by the Star, con- demned by the Gazette. while the Fh-ench Press as n rule is ominous- ly silent on the subject. They dis- trust him, afraid they may be sold again for ivestern support.

The sensation of the hour is the resignation of Hon. D. A. Cameron. Secretary Nova Scotia. in connection with the dis-

Provlnclal of closure ‘by the outside auditors of Cltyof Sydney and County of Cape Breton of a shortage in the at:- cnunts of $27,586.95, This short- age occurred during Mr. Cameron's treasurershltp and be has assumed responsibility and returned the amount together with interest mak- ing the sum $30,983.34. The dis- closure has caused a sensation in Nova Scotia Liberal camp. and Hon

M. Macdonald was summoned from Ottawa to attend a hastily cal- led meeting of the leaders of the party in the Halifax Hotel. ther proceedings

are anticipated in connection with .\lr. Cameron's shortage, and be has proceeded to Sydney to be ready if. and when, called upon.

The Dominion Conference on the Protocol has been abandoned, the British Government intimating that the fusther views of the Dominions will he ascertained by correspond- ence. With tlte best intentions the Baldwin Government plundered in inviting a Conference so soon after the recommendations of the prev- ions conference had been turned down by {be Macdonald govern- ment. Dominion Prenrlers are busy men living far from London and it is neither convenient nor expedi- ent for them to desert their re- spective governments to proceed to discuss a matter in London the re- suit of which may or may not be ECW111911 by the‘ British Govern- ment which is party to the Confer- ence. Some more satisfactory pro- cedure with regard to giving effect to decisions will have to be evolv- ed before the Dominions will be agreaible to countenancing further curlers in Lonodon.

The United Farmers’ Party oi Ontario is gradually sinking irrto oblivion. It came into power witlr a.

GOING BACK HUNDREDS OF YEARS Sometimes when you have read of the physicians of hundreds of years ago. and that they Bil-VB BB medicines parts of the Orlando! animals, you have likely smiled to yourself.

The extract from the pancreas as you know, now relieves the dread- iul symptoms of diabetes.

And the cxtruct from the thyroid izlanil, situated in front of the neck, has been the sultjcct of perhaps more experiments than any of the iltliers.

ARE ADHERENTS VOTES LEGAL?

\

Sim-Your issue of the 9th inst, contains a news i-teni to the effect ithat the voting in Zion Church has been postponed owing to a differ- ence of legal opinion as to who are entitled to vote. The qquestion is really very simple and the differ- ence has only arisen through mis- understandings due to such Anti- Union propagafltla as that the lin- lonlets art crying to take all the; church's property. ' As a lilill'l8l' of fact this is not primarily a question of property at ali- but of concurrance; and the persons entitled to vote are nil members in full communion irre- spective of age or sex, whose nuiucs were on the roll of the congregation on the 19th of July, 192i. And these are the only persons entitled to vote in Zion congregation. None who are merely adherents can leg- ally volt- thtre. This l may say is also the (‘HSP in most oi‘ the con- gregations in P. E. island, and in he case of several congregations which at: the present time are al-i lowing iiilhedictits to vote, they might its well have suvcd tilt-m- selves the troubll- for the zulhcmuts vc-te will not be vmllll,

l think most owners were under the impression that the amounts which they paid under these spec- ial levies were collected to help pay for these improvements. The value of his property was enhanc- ed by the street improvement and it was reasonable for tbc owner to puy a portion of the coat. But'lt would now seem by the City Accounts that the monies puid by the interested property owners for sidewalk and paving assess- ments do not go to pay for side- walks and paving at all.
