THE GREAT B1~:TR.\YAL I

“The Conservative party stands for the safeguarding and

stability of agriculture and induetry. and to that end, for protection by laws made in Canada. The countervailing du- ties of the hon. gentleman are in truth a renunciation of his party’s creed: but they are as well an ineffectual attempt to embrace the doctrine of Conservatism; for they do not safeguard and they do not stabilize. They constitute an nc- knowledgment both of the futility of Liberalism and the im- potency of its' present proponents to legislate for the good, not of other countries, but of our own. The Government. alarmed at the signs of the times, forsaken the faith of Laur- ier and, failing the usurpatlon of the Conservative doctrine; finds itself suspended midway between the two, shorn of its old faith and doctrine, denied the solace of its new,-a warn- ing of the Nemesis that awaits those who subordinate prin- elple to personal advantage.

“Tested by the laws of .political morality or of good busi-

ness, his action stands equally condemned. To the great Lib- 'eral party I offer my sincere sympathy.
