and gone to the expense they did to roll up a vote against prohibition,when jall that was needed was to stay at home. It is not possible to believe that Hon. G. W. Ross, for example, knew of such an agreement, or was a party to it, for he is on record for de- claring, when once it was proposed to amend the Canada Temperance Act so as to require a majority vote of the the whole electorate to enact it In any municipality that such a condition would ‘take an unfair advantage of public opinion and render it almos impossible for public opinion to be fairly recorded.’ Why, at the general election Sir Wilfrid Lau: Qj imself polled 470 votes lessthan a — ajority of the electorate in his constitu ency, and the nine members of the present Ministry who were elected in 1896 fell short of an actual major- ity of the electorate in their ridings by 4,170. Yet Sir Wilfrid and his col- leagues had no hesitancy or prickings of conscience about accepting their minority of the votes as an ample evi- dence of the will of the electorate. But if we assume that Sir Wilfrid was can- did and truthful when he told of that ‘implied’ agreement ; assuming that the Liberal temperance men in the convention did—as he in effect charges them with doing—enter into a conspir- acy to humbug the temperance people, does this make the position of our leaders any better, or does it lessen in any degree our duty to stamp with our disapproval men whe put forward as an excuse for being false to their public pledge the astonishing plea that they had all along been determined to be false to it, and that they had, in fact, conspired with others so as to make it safe for them to be false to it ?

too great under the late Administration, we have the same number still, and their aggregate salaries are $4,000 per year greater, one-halt of this sum going into the pocket of the Minister who reeently declared that every piedge has been kept. We-denounced the expenditure on account of superannu- ation, and pledged ourselves to wipe it Out; it was greater by $14,331 in 1899 than it was in 1896. We de nounced as useless the creation of the Department of Trade and Commerce. The ‘useless’ department has been continued.

“We promised to abolish the Senat©

or radically change its constitution ; by

affording that body an epportunity to save the country from the consequences of extravagant and cerrupt deals, the Government has enabled the Senate tu demonstrate its usefulness, almost its

indispensability,

“We denounced the development of monopolies, trusts, and combines as a consequence of the policy of our op- ponents; not a single one of those which were in existence in 1896 has been destroyed or put out of business, while others have been created and given a foothold im the country by the direct action of the Government. We declared that the expenditure for the administration of justice was too great, Sir Wilfrid Laurier even going so far as to say that thousands of dollars paid to course! had been improperly, if not corruptly, paid; the expenditure of this department has been increased by $353,000. Wedenounccd the expend- iture of $120,000 for immigration pur poses; we have more than doubled this expenditure, increasing it to $255,000. We condemned the granting of public lands as bonuses to railways :

“Only by the opposition of the Senate was the Government prevented from consummating a deal by which twenty-five thousand acres of gold- bearing lands, to be selected by the heneficiaries, was to be given per mile

for the building of a narrow-guags tramway, a transaction so flagrantly AEE

improper that several Government sup- porters refused to vote for it, and it is doubtful if anyone would now be wil- lirg to defend it on its merits. We Cenounced the granting of “cash bonuses to railways, declaring it to be ‘a fruitful source of jobbery, pecula- tion, and corruption ;’ we have well- j nigh out-Heroded Herod by the reck

less way in which we have granted business bonuses to railways, giving in

one ins\ance tur (ne~same railway two millions more thin we had condemncd our opponents for oferiog, and in an- other actually granting a benus to a | road for which no charter had teen | granted, and which wis not even pro-

jected.

“ We condemned a'! corruption: yet

our leaders have made us responsible

tor the Crow’s Nest io», by means cf

which the directors of the leading Gov-

ernment organ were permitted to prac-

tically grab a quarter of a million of

acres of coal lands, and the country is

saddled with a totally unnecessary

1

payment of two millions of dollars.

“We promised purity of admin:stra- tion ; tae history of the notorious Drummond railway j>b shows what regard onr leaders hid for such a promise. But why g» farther? The record cf our'party while it has been in power under its present leaders is one long, shameful story of promises unfulfilled and pledges broken ; of reckless extravagance, uf jobbery and corruption; and of utterly disgraceful betrayal of every principle for which as a party we have stood. For the pur- pose of securing themielves in office the men who have been entrusted with positions of leidership have brought diszrace up9a our party and dishonor upon the nam: of Liberalism.

DRIVE THEM FROM POWER,

INVo.ve a 1eO/ganizaucn ot the party, it may be objected. Doubtless, but if we must choose between reorgani- zation and the infamy, the degradatior, of being justly regarded as a party ot pledge breakers, willingly led by a cabal of place-hoicers who have provs

'en recreant to every prineiple they

ever professed, I do not tnink honest men will hesitate long before making their decision. As I have already said, lem not addressing myself to any within the Liberal ranks who re~ gard the getting and holding of power and office as the proper end and aim of all political eflort. I am trying to speak only to those who areand have been Liberals because of their sincere be'ief in the principle of Liberalism. I have made no statement which is not fullywarranted by the facts. If I have spoken strongly it is because this is a time for plain speaking, and for strong speaking and my only regret is that | am not able to command the language need d to fittingly characterize the conduct of men whe betrayed a great party and a great cause for the paltry consideration of office and empty titles, To the grat body of honest Liberals —a large majority of our party as I believe—I would say, do not hesitate to do what is plainly your duty. It is not the part of true men to falter and hesitate fcr fear of consequences: their partis to doright, never doubting that the consequences of right action must be gocd. Do not fear for Lib- eral principles, nor donbt that in good time the party organization and the

“What, taen, is cur duty to our party and to our country? Again | repeat that only by repudiating these leaders, by disassociating ourselves from them, and by doing all that may tein our power to punish them for their falseness and treachery, by driv- ing them from power and from the o- fices which they retain cs the price of their treason to principle, can we as in- dividuals and as a party avoid sharing their guilt and participating in their shame. In no other way, and by no means short of this, can we hope to regain or retain as a party the respect and confidence of a patriotic and decency-loving public. It may be said that this can only be accomptished at the expense vf a return to power of our political opponents, a party oppos- edto the political princip'es in which we believe. I do not dispute this, nor do I shrink from this alternative. Neither do I believe that any true ma») or any man who has an abiding faith ic the truth of Liberal principles, or in the ultimate triumph of truth, will shrink from it. We are bound to as- sume that the Conservative party is

permeated and guided by a genuine be- lief in the truth of its political ideals and in the correctness of its principles. At any rate, we cannot truthfully charge hat party or its leaders with having betrayed or abandcned its princip'es to get or retain office. This much we must say in fairness, even if we can- not see eye to eye with them. At the most, then, the defeat of the present Governmsnt would only mean _ loss of office to men whose holding of it is a disgrace and a scandal; it would involve no defeat of the principles of Liberalism; no rejection of those prin. ciples Ly the men whose votes would bring about the Government’s over- throw. On the other hand, for us to overlock and condone the treachery and desertion of princi le of which our 'eaders have been guilty would nct only be a deliberate decision on our part to make ourselves and our party partak- ers of their crimes against pclitical decency, b.t it would mean putting a premium upon falsehood, promise- breaking, and treachery to princip'e, and a recognition of these as legiti- mate weapons of political warfare ; a prospect from which every decency- loving Canadian must recoil with horror.

“‘ If the Liberal party be what we have believed it to be, a great force for political good in this Dominion ; if its principles be founded, as we have believed, upon ethical and economic truth, we need not fear that it will be permanently weakened by rescuing it from the leadership of men who have been false to all their professions, recreant to all their pledges, and who recognize in our party nothing more or better than a machine to keep them in office. )

‘The overflow and punishment af

the leaders who have betrayed and

disgraced us in the important present

duty to which we must put our hands

and do with all eur might.

“That done, we may again look the world inthe face, for we shill have vindicated our party and proved our right to claim for ourselves the highest earthly titlke—honest men. We will then be able once more to adyocate those political ideas in which we have believed, and once more to ask the public to believe us when we promise to stand by those ideals. This will

; party leaders willcome to carry for- | ward these principles and to lift the banner of Liberalism from the mire in which faithless and treacherous lead- ers have trampled. No great and just cause was ever finaily ,ost because leaders prove false, andif we of the tank and file only prove true, and re- fuse to wink at or condone the treach- ery of our leaders we need have no fearand do doubt of the ultimate triumph of Liberalism in Canada.”
