There is no doubt "that a lnrge proportion of the present industrial

and commercial unrest in Canada is due. to the tariff revision and free trude propaganda of the Lib- hul Agrarian groups. The. possibility of a radical Change in the tariff. the possibility of having the product of United States fac- tlumped intio (lambda free or almost free. of duty hits caused

To the lion Mackenlic King who 55 about to enlighten the people of this province as to his purposes it they should entrust him with their affairs ofgovernmom' we would of fer some advice and suggestion. A! the outset it would be well to ac- quaint him of the fact that he will not be talking to buck woods "gnor- ance. but to people who are not so gullible as he thinks, or appears to think, some of his audiences are. They are, on the contrary intellig- ent and quick to perceive, and will require something more than hi5 customary platitudes to ccnv nce ' them. that he is the political won-
