On the voter entering the polling place the presiding oflicer asks him his name, octpation, residence, ete., and his answers are entered by the clerk. If no objection be offered, the voter 1s given a_ ballot of which the above is a fac-simile, except that the cross will not be on it. ‘The presiding officer has previously initialed the ballot and numbered the counterfoil attached, the voter is then directed to enter a com- partment provided, where he will find a pencil. It he desires to vote for the Lib- eral-Conservative candidates he will make a cross X tothe right of the name as we have marked above. After marking it he will fold it up and return it to the presiding ofticer, who will look at the counterfoil to identify the ballot by it. After tearing off the counterfoil and destroying it, the presiding officer puts the ballot paper in the box. Should the voter be unable to read, he must take an oath to that effect. Then he will be accompanied by the presid- ing officer to the compartment, and in the presence of the candidates’ representatives (who are sworn to secrecy) the oflicer makes the cross alongside the names of the candi- dates for whom the elector desires to vote.

Tur Ministeral policy is as follows :—

‘*Toronto, Aug. 15, 1872. ‘TTon. John Simpson, President Ontario Bank. “My Dear Sir,—The fight goes bravely on, We have expended our strength in aiding outlying counties and helping our city candi- dates. But a pie pusH has to be made on Saturday and Monday for the East and West divisions. We, therefore, make our GRAND STAND on Saturday. There are but a half- dozen people that ean COME DOWN HAND- SOMELY, and we have done all we possibly can do, and we have to ask a few outsiders to help us. WILL you BE ONE? I have been urged to write you, and comply accordingly. Things look well all over the Province, Things

look bright in Quebec ! ‘Faithfully yours, “GEORGE BROWN.”

SIR JOHN McDONALD ON THE ISSUES.

SPLECH AT MONTREAL.

Tz other day Sir John McDonald came down to Montreal and spoke to seven or eight thousand electors. It is reported that the right hon. gentleman, on coming for- ward, was greeted with a storm of applause, which showed that the heart of the great concourse of citizens was with him. Sev eral times he attempted to speak, but each essay was only the signal for another out- burst, the cheers and clapping of hands being so loud as to render his voice inaudi-

ble even to those near the platform. The enthusiasm of the meeting spent itself at | jast, and Sir John was allowed to proceed. , He said :—

Mr. CHairnMAN AND GENTLEMEN,—I have come here at the request of my Con- servative friends to advocate the cause of the Conservative candidates for the three divisions of this great City of Montreal, and I have great pleasure in doing so. It is not the first occasion upon which I have had the same pleasure, but I assure you on no occasion have I come forward impressed more strongly with the gravity of the situ- ation and the necessity of arousing the elec- tors. (Cheers.) There have been many other occasions on which, of course, the electors of Canada have been called upon to cast their franchises, to choose represent- atives, but for the future weal or woe of Canada, for its future prosperity or the re- verse, no election has taken place or can take place in which your interests, the in- terests of the Dominion, the interests of all classes and every industry of every kind, are more interested than in the coming elections. I haveno doubt, Mr. Chairman, of what that result is going to be. The people of Canada have arisen in their might, and Ihave no doubt that on the 17th of September will be recorded a ver- dict by the enormous majority of the people of Canada against the Administration which has for five years abused your confidence, abused the confidence of the people of Can- ada, which was given to that Administra. tion. without stint. If there ever was a Government, if there ever was in any coun- try having representative mstitutions, an Administration that commenced under favorable auspices, it was the Administra- tion of McKenzie. They had been in oppo- sition for twenty years—for twenty long years we had kept them out (great cheer- ing); they had no sins of omission or com- mission to answer for ; they had no chance to commit any sins (laughter); no charge of mal-adininistration could be brought against them, because they had never ad- ministered anything (renewed laughter) ; no charge could be brought against them for passing bad laws, because they had not introduced any laws—and, beyond all that, they had received at the elections of 1874, in the night march, when they stole a march upon us, and took the couniry by surprise, an enormous majority. (Hear, hear! and applause.) They were a strong Govern- ment ; they had every means of doing as they pleased, and if they have not passed good laws and wisely administered the Goy- ernment, it is not because they had no power, but because either they had a want of will, or a want of capacity. (Hear, hear.) I believe the conntry is going to decide that they were equally unwilling to act rightly, and incapable of doing so if they were willing. They would not 1f they could, and they could not if they would. (Prolonged laughter.) And is it not strange that, although they have had scarcely five years’ power, although they have scarcely begun to learn how to administer affairs, the country is already weary of them—is anxious to dismiss them—and with all their pretensions of purity and professions of reform, the people ase aware that uncer the old, effete, corrupt Tory Administra! on (laughter) of John A. McDonald, the coun- try was prosperous, while under the reien of the party of purity the country is being sunk from prosperity into poverty. (Cries of ‘that’s so,” and applause.) Oh! yes; there was going to be a return of the Golden Age. Sin, crime and corruption, every kind of wickedness, political or ofli- cial, was to disappear, and there was going to be areign, just as existed in Paradise before Eve ate the apple. (Loud Laughter. ) Mr. McKenzie announced that they were going to raise the standard of purity, and so they did, but it went so high that it has gone out of sight. (Great Laughter.) It was erected so high that it is invisible to the naked eye. (Renewed laughter.) And the country prefers the good old age, al- though not quite so pure or reformed, and have prosperity, rather than to have pro- fessions of purity, with the actual disiress and misery and wretchedness which have occurred since they have been in power.

In order to show you that I was very . mcderate, that I did not ask to add to the

burdens of the the country, I will read you | the resolution, and when I tell you that Mr. McKenzie said that if this resolution | were carried, he would consider it a vote of | want of confidence, and would resign, you | will understand what little hope there can | be of anything like favor to Canadian in-

dustries being given at the hands of his

Governments, The interruptions were

here renewed, but soon were calmed down.

The right hon. gentleman quoted the fol- lowing appropriate lines in reference to the interruptions :—

‘Hark! from the tombs a coleful sound, My ears attend the cry,

Ye living men come view the ground, Where they shall shortly lie.”

(Prolonged laughter.) I moved the follow- ing resolution :—

“That this House is of opinion that the welfare of Canada requires the adoption of a National Policy. which, by a judicious read- justment of the tariff, will benefit and foster the farming, mining, manufacturing and other industries of the Dominion; that such a Policy will retain in Canada thousands of our fellow-countrymen now obliged to expa- triate themselves in search of employ- ment denied them at home; will restore prosperity to our struggling industries, now so sadly depressed ; will prevent Canada from be- ing made a sacrifice market; will encourage and develop an active interprovincial trade,and moving (as it ought to do) inthe direction of Reciprocity of tariff with our neighbors, so far as the varied interests of Canada may de- mand, will greatly tend to procure for this country eventually a Reciprocity of Trade.” That, gentlemen, was a moderate resolu- tion, and one would wish that every lover of his country would support a resolution of that kind. Mr. McKenzie, how- ever, got up and said that any man who voted for that resolution voted want of confidence in the Government and his subservient majority ; even those who professed to be Protectionists in their hearts, voted with the Government. There was one man who was not there, that was the member for West Montreal.

He was elected a Protectionist, was sworn _

to fight the battle of protection, but al- though he loved protection much, he loved Mr. McKenzie more. (Great laughter.) Besides, there was another iittle reason why he did not appear. It was proved that he, the independent member for West Montreal, was the paid servant and con- tractor of the Government for many thou- sands of pounds. Did he resign? Oh! no. That would have given the pecple of West Montreal an opportunity of lecting an- other and truer protectionist. He kept his seat until the day of dissolution. He did not take it, but kept the right of taking it. He dared not go into the House except in the mornings, when the speaker was not in the chair, and wrote his letters there on parliamentary paper. That was economy (laughter.) He did not take his seat in the afternoon when the Speaker was in the chair, because he was liable to a fine of $5,- 000 per day, every day he sat there. That would not suit his complaint at all (renew- ed laughter. )

We took office in 1867 and resigned in 1873. During those five years we had car- ried on the Government we paid all the expenses neeessary, the salaries, the cost of administration of justice and collection of revenue, and then after defraying every possible expense, we had a surplus amount- ing to twelve million dollars. The country was prosperous, and the money expended was expended in reducing the debt, in de- veloping the country, in building post offices, custom houses, in carrying on all our public works, and, with all this, we had saved twelve million dollars. Not only that, but we had reduced taxation to the amount of two million dollars per year. Since this Government came in, instead of surpluses, they have had deficits every year, and next session, whatever Government goes in will have to face a deficit caused by the present Government of two, or, at all events, of one and one-half million dollars. (Shouts of disapprobation.) We, the corrupt and ex- pensive Government, had saved twelve mil- lions, and had taken off the people two mil- lions dollars a year in taxes. The present Government have twice added to the bur- dens of the country, and, notwithstanding that, there has been a steadily increasing deficiency in the treasury. Mr. Cartwright announced that he must alter the tariff, as he wanted more revenne in order to meet this deficiency. He was quite right, it is the bounden duty of every Government to make revenue and expenditure meet. But there is a right and wrong way. Mr. Cart- wright had an opportunity of dealing with this question ina right way; then was the time to readjust the tariff and so arrange it that the various interests of this country should be protected without increasing the burdens of the country, without increasing the volume of taxation it might have been done. If he had taken off the duty, as he ought, on those articles we cannot produce, and put it on those articles we can produce, or grow, or make in this country, the vol- ume of taxation would not have been in- creased, and yet all these interests would have been protected. It isa matter of no importance to the taxpayer, who has to pay $10 taxes, whether he pays it on tea and coffee and sugar, or on cotton and wool. And yet that simple readjustment, without increasing taxation at all, would be quite sufficient to protect our industries. But no, says Mr. Cartwright, that is not the policy of the Government, no Government is ob- liged to look after those depressions of

trade; trade must take care of itself. He

said the Government could no more en- courage trade than the fly, sitting on the rim of the carriage wheel, can make the rim go round. (Loud laughter.) We have christened that the ‘fly on the wheel”

policy. Thirteen members, each draw- ing $7,000 a year, and Mr. Me.

Kenzie $8,000—if all the good they can do is to sit in their offices and oversee their clerks, see that the revenue is collected, and the ordinary affairs of the Government
