The enthusiastic. ovation accord- ed llou. J. A. McDonald Monday night at Cardigan spoke volumes for the popularity of the Kings County Conservative candidate in ills home district .lt w'as in fact. judging by the zlpplause, a Conser- vative meeting all the way through. A good hearing was given all the speakers, who were: lion. J, A. Mc- Donald. llicssrs. .i. J. Johnston, lion Dr. MCMlllilll. hlessrs. i), A, ille- K-uilon, ll, ii. hlcFwi-n and .\lark .\ic(‘rulgan, in". A. Allen eapably pre. sided.

l-lcn. Mr. McDonald

Pointing out the injurious effect on the Maritluic Provinces oi’ the Western Progressive and Liberal alliance, lion. Mr. lilcDouald said that through special railway rates. the western farmers were able to put their grain ou our own nlarkets at Halifax, Sydney and other lliuri-i time points, and to under null ash ilccuuse we have to pay maarly as much from the Island to Sydney as‘, they from the West. if by way 01‘ coulpeusatioxi wc could get some of our products to Central Canada at a special rate we should have no reason to coulplalil. This was wllut Mr. ltlciglltui and it was in this way that he [iro- posed to help us.

Why did nut the King Govern- ment do the things they now pro- pose to do during their four ycnrs of power? was a question insisted on by Mr. ‘McDonald who [Jointed out that the National Policy had been the guide to both parties on tariff matters heretofore.

Citing the present low duty against American eggs, ho took up Mr. Johnston's argument: “What is the use of talking about eggs bo- cause we are shipping them?” There might be something in that argument if we were to crunslder the island alone, but we must cou- sidor the markets of Canada as a Sydney, Halifax. St. John, Montreal Ottawa-all these polo‘ to which American eggs have been shipped. are our home market;

While Amcrlcnn {irodueers ' can come over here and smash ollr houio uiurkct we can never get. over their tariff

wall at any season. Compared with ur own markets, the fc\v eggs that we export are not worth speaking about; and it is our own market that is being affected by the dis- advantageous tariff.

The same argumeiit holds with, respect to potatoes. The year wc] received the highest prices for po- tntoes—from $3.00 to $3.50 a bush- cl- it was not on the American luurkei. but very largely to Ontar- io. Even last spring the best murk- et we could gel was Western Can- ada. and we could have got at least trn cents a bushel more but for the competition against us of Ameri- can potatoes shipped in across the line nt low duty. »

After emphasizing tile prime im- portance of’ the homc market. Mr. McDonald said: "Even supposing, at its worst. that there comes u time when the foreign lull-‘kets are. the only ours we have lcft. how can a duty such as pPOP°BCfI by ‘the Conservative party hurt us? Wouldn't We feel that we were more independent and more cqliai to our neighbors if we put up our taritff wall to the same height?

Dealing with the proposed Reci- procity pact of 1911 he pointed out that this \vas not rcnlly a treaty. as it was subject to six months cancellation at any time. Would any reasonable person say that the Americans would not have acted

ity passed or not?

“We are not objecting to trade with the United States; but we have no control over their market Neither have these gentlemen com, trol over it. if they had, they would; have got It four years ago. Any-g ‘thing they uy now is not worth mom than It was four yearn ago- and what they uld (Our yeerl 110°; wn not worm anything. That is; the situation." (Applause). l

That is what would help in building up Canada, I think. (Applause),

The advantage of manufacturing other ot our raw products was also cited. At [lresent the worst loss is the draln on our population.

then the outlook for this country is poor indeed. If Canada is ever soinz to take its place in the world we must develop a policy that will keep our raw products at home and have them manufactured info. finished articles. The policy pro- posed by Mr. Meighen is designed f0!‘ that purpose; the policy which these people propose will have ex- rwtiy the opposite effect." Dealing with railway transporta- 11011 llroblelna Mr. McDonald said tho argument had been advanced. "Why did not the Canadian Gov- ernment do with the railways ns the United States Government did’! They took their railways over dur- ug the war. and when they had no further use for them, threw them back on private ownership,- nnd let them go bankrupt." But our difficulty was of a different nature. The Canadian Government had guaranteed all the bonds, whereas

The greatest, prosper- ity lnCanuda had been under the national policy of Sir John A. Muc- donnld. “the integrity of which was maintained by Sir Wilfrid Laurier.‘

"From the rise of Macdonald to this hour the Conservative Party has stood on the rock of protection’ added Mr. hlelghen. He found the changed policy dating from the Progressive movement of 1919 and its silbsequent domination of the Liberal Party, was tn blame for re- duced prosperity in Canada and trade unrest,
