POLICY 0

F THE MINISTRY.

‘*We have in this country at the present mo- moment NO tpEA of having a system of Free Trade.” —Hon. A. McKenzie at Toronto,

‘The policy of the Government is deter- mined opposition to the Opposition”.--—Pre- mier’s Speech at the Drill Shed.

In other words, the policy of the Gov- ernment is to slander their opponents and do nothing for the good of the country.

THE OPPOSITION PLATFORM.

A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF THE TARIFF.

To make the duties fall more equitably.

To make it the interest of the United States to aceord Reciprocity.

To revive the languishing West India Trade.

To remove the present barriers to the de- velopment of our Agricultural, Mining and other Natural resources ; and gen- erally

To encourage Home Industries with Home Markets for Home Produce.

To promote our Fishing interests and pro- tect the rights of our Fishermen.

THE PLANK ON WHICH SIR JOHN

McDONALD STANDS.

‘* NerrHer at LONDON OR BLSEWHERE HAVE | GOMRF BEYOND MY MOTION IN Par- LIAMENT, AND HAVE NEVER PROPOSED AN INCREASE, BUT ONLY A KE-ADJUSTMENT OF TARIFE.

** Joun A. McDonatp.”

‘‘Wecan well understand that we may raise the duty on woollen, cotton and other goods, but lower the duty on articles of general consumption which we cannot pro- duce, and the volume of taxation may be LESS IN FACT, although it may be raised, at any given time, higher than it was before: Ifa man were obliged to pay a cent more for his cotton, and had a cent taken off his tea, it would be found, by calculation, that he was.a gainer by the operation.” -——Sir John in. Parliament.

MR. TILLEY’S PLANK.

Mr. Titiey then took up the public ex- penditure, showing that an average expen- diture of $22,500,000 was all that was necessary, and the expenditure ought to have been kept within that, instead of an average, as it has been, of $24,000,000. The policy of the Opposition was Nor 1IN- CREASED TAXATION, as it had been stated by their opponents, but a readjustment of the tariff and. REDUCED EXPENDI- TURES. These were the planks in their platform, together with encouragement to our manufacturing industries; ship’s ma- terials, raw materials, machinery not made in the country, free; 15 PER CENT. on non-enumerated articles ; and an increase of the tariff on such articles as we can pro- duce in the country, giving employment to our people and a HOME MARKET FOR OUR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE.

DR. TUPPER’S PLANK.

‘‘T trust I have satisfied the House that IT IS NOT a question of high or low taxa- tion, any further than this, that, inasmuch as we governed the country with a small taxation, and inasmuch as we ere prepared to govern the country again without those extravagant expenditures made by the pres: ent Government since they have been en- trusted with power, all we ask is, Nov THAT THE TAXATION OF THE PEOPLE SHALL BE INCREASED, because we do not require so much money as the hon. gentlemen oppo- site, as we have shown by our economy in the past, and which 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 PEOPLE AND PROVIDE THE MEANS OF PAYING THE TAXATION THAT IS LEVIED UPON THEM.”

THE WONDERFUL STORY

HOW THEY SAVED THE COUNTRY MADE IT PROSPEROUS.

OF AND

| ‘The story of the wonderful services ren-

, dered to Canada by the Reform Party can- jnot be too frequently told. True, the Toronto Globe has often told it and the en- tire body of Grit pewspaperdom has made Canadians tolerably familiar with it. Vile Opposition sheets may pooh-pooh the won- derful narrative, but still the story will be ever new, ever fresh, ever worthy of being re-told by the journalist and laid to heart by the people. It is a story full of sugges- tion and significance and the like of which may never be told of another country or any other Party. It represents the Grit Chieftiansin the character of angelic beings, desirous only of doing good to Canada. It pourtrays them as guardian angels bent on protecting, defending and pbuilding up this great and glorious country which, without their friendly assistance, might have gone down into perdition. The Premier angel is seen in the character of the loveliest of the lovely—his smile the sweetest, his tone the blandest, his manner the most culti- vated, his words the purest and most con- siderate, his thoughts lofty, commanding, angelic in all respects. Some who entered into the kingdom with him have fallen ;

others have retired; but their re- mains the chivalric chancery lawyer who is noted for leading a

forlorn hope; who never strikes an oppon- eut when he is down; who scorned to do anything for afriend seeking a harbor im- provement contract, etc, And there also remain to help the country with their coun- sel and their talents; the Copper Pyrites speculator ; the Minister who recently moved like the very spirit of goodness and gentleness among the electors of Jacques Cartier; the Minister who loves Dorchester Corner better than the plush and glory of Ottawa; the Minister who isn’t a member of his own firm; the Minister who under- stands negotiating loans in London; and the rest of the angelic host, including R. W. Scott and Hon. Tom Coffin, Pelletier the Forsaken and the Philosophic Free Trade Mills,—all beings of the highest order, all superior to anything to be found outside of their own circle, all fitted to mould public opinion, propound public policies and guide the destines of nations. With such giants to care for four millions of people it necessarily follows that there are peace, happiness and prosperity among the millions. Some scandalous Opposition sheets, inspired by the Devil, have seen fit to charge against the f{mmacnlate ones sundry evil deeds,..but the story of the wonderful performances of the Reform Party is a different story from this. Here we learn that there have been xo Copper Pyrites operations of a questionable charac- ter; #o speculations in the food and lodg- ing of the Insane of Beauport; no jobbery in building lots at Lachine by the present head of the Department of Justice; no for- tunes made in Kaministiquia town lots at the public expense; no Fort Francis Locks misappropriations, or Georgian Bay Rail- way mis-expenditures; no blunders in con- nexion with Rail and Telegraph on the Pacitic Route; no unfortunate Steel Rails Purchase, no bfother-in-law’s firm, no goughing in the freightage, no Norris trans- action jobs; no Post Office Printing and Speakership Scandal; o favoritism to

Ministerial firms; so Goderich Har- ber losses to the country; #0 Inter - Colonial Railway extravagances

and incapacity! According to this wonder- ful story nothing has been wrong; there is nothing wrong now; nor is it at all probable there will ever be anything wrong, as long as the present rulers hold the reins of authority. Notonly has everything been done properly by the angelic beings whom Fate has placed over us, but the results of their beneficent rule are tobe seen on every hand. Behold the taxation of the County reduced tonothing! Behold the. ordinary Expenditures almost wiped out! Look at the Public Debt reduced to a span as it were! See for yourselves how the number of public offices and salaries has been cut down! See superanuations abolished ! See the Departmental expenses absolutely elim- inated from the pubhie*accounts! Admire the happy knack which the Customs De- partment has of furthering the interests of Importers! See how delightfully the Weights and Measures regulations work ! Just consider for one moment how zealous- ly, persistently and successfully our rulers have fostered and promoted the Commerce of the Conntry—how they have protected Manufactures—how all the industries of the people have revived under their patriotic care ! Just reflect upon the hum of industry which is to be heard everywhere through- out the land! See the merchants, how they jostle each other in the marts all over tax- ed with the accumulationsof business which they are not able to overtake! See how every warehouse is filled with customers, and every shop urges its clerks to the ut- most to fill the rnsh of orders coming in! How busy allour factories are, and how filled with workmen and workwomen are all our work-shops! What a flow of money there is into our banks ! How cheer- ‘fully and readily the rate-payer liquidates his tax bill in thesedays ! How promptlp the small purchasers settle up their monthly and quarterly accounts! What happy faces men, women and children all wear, and

Can any one doubt that Canada is the hap- piest and most prosperous country on the earth? And is there a being so hardened,

}s0 depraved, as to deny that we owe this

what solid prosperity,we are all enjoying ! |

LC ———

' boundless prosperity and happiness to the ‘angelic creatures who guide our destinies at | Ottawa? Heaven forefend that any one 'should withhold from the Immaculate Re- ‘form Party any portion of credit to which they are justly entitled, and it is certainly greatly to their credit that (according to this wonderful story) they have placed Can- adians on the very pinnacle of the Temple of Prosperity. Of them it may be said, as has been said of the design- er of Westminster Abbey : ‘‘Would you see his monument, look around you.” Our merchants growing rapidly rich ; our artt- sans rolling in extravagant prosperity ; our ships freighted with the treasures of the country ; our great rivers, lakes and oceans teaming with an enormous commerce,— these witness to the fact that we havea great country ruled by great statesmen ; that **‘ Reform ” and Prosperity are synony- mous terms; and that Canada owes the ** Reform” Party more than it will ever be able to repay! In fact, it owes to it nearly everything that is to be seen in trade and commerce,—all our present happiness. For these sentiments Grit journals and orators are mainly responsible; and who shall question the truth of a statement proceed- ing trom such sources? Verily, Canada owes ‘* Reform” a great deal ; nevertheless, the reckoning day is at hand.

Ye “Great Economists”!

From the lst November, 1873, to the 1st November, 1878,— five years,— Mr. Mce- Kenzie and his colleagues will have drawn as follows :—

One Premier, at $8,000 ; $ 8,000 Twelve Ministers, at $7,000 . 84,000 Thirteen Ministers, at $1,000 . 13,000 Per annum . $105,000 For five years _ $525,000

In other words, the men who even in prosperity promised to cut dowa Cabinet salaries, have drawn, in times of stern and wide-felt adversity, $120,000 more in five years than their extravagant ecessors drew in five years and ahalf! Is this the kind of Reform the electors ought to vote for on the 19th September /—Toronte Mail.

The United States at Paris.

‘* TIMES”? ON AMERICA’S IN- VENTIVE GENIUS.

THE LONDON

The Times prints two columns of descrip- tion of the mechanical display of the United States at the Paris Exhibition. In in edi- torial article commenting thereon, the Times says :—‘‘ The pre-eminence of the mechanical genius of the citizens of the United States may be admitted, rnd as il- lustrated not for the first time in the exhi- bition at Paris.” The Times, without pre- tending to exhaust the whole secret of the phenomenon of inventive genius across the the Atlantic. finds reasons, therefore, in the greater etticiency of labor there and the increased cost and. difficulty in hiring, it. The conditions of the union, as economic society, drive its inhabitants towards inven- tion, and there, as elsewhere, necessity may be said to be the mother of it.

The Williams’ Lecture Bureau, of Bos- ton, has received the following letter from Rey. C. H. Spurgeon, of London:—

‘‘Lonpon, Aug. 7, 1878.

‘Drak Sir,—Tt am very sorry that you should put yourself toso much trouble about me, for I have never had the slight- est idea of visiting America. If ever I should do so, I conld net preach or lecture for money. Excellent as your services doubtiess are to those who need them, they could not possibly be needed by me. I should regard it as an utter prostitution of any gifts I possess if I were, as a servant of God, to use them to make money for my- self in the way in which lecturers very pro- perly do. Yours very truly.

A Sr. Lawrence Monster.—A Ganano- que correspondent of the Globe says : “ Mr. Chas. Lechay, of this place (an oarsman), had a most desperate encounter with a maskinonge on. Monday, on the river op- posite here, and a little below Granite Is- land. When Mr. Lechay gaffed the mons- ter, he made straight at him, breaking his leg and frightfully lacerating his arm, and his clothes were literally torn off him ; and had it not been for the timely assistance of Mr. Frank Lolond (another oarsinen) the fish would have killed him. The monster now hes on the dock, packed in ice:by Johnson & McFarland of this place, and

Tue Ottawa Citizen publishes the names of the Intercclonial Railway officials, with their salaries, in 1874 and 1876. The sal- aries in 1874 were $40,623 ; in 1876, $100,- 162, showing an increase of nearly $60,000 under Reform economy. Hurrah for Re- form economy !
