en Mr. Laurier ard the Tunnel

Sm,—I notice in Saturday's Guardian what purports to be a letter ‘from the of- fice of Laurier, Lavergne & Cote, advocats, &e., Arthabaskaville,” dated 9th Februzery, 1891.

The editor of the Guardian has refrained from attachiag the signature of the writer of that letter to it, thus leaving the public in the dark as to which member of the firm or clerk sent the communication. It cer- tainly could rot have been from Mr. Laurier himself, because that ,entleman, at the date, was around Toronto organiz'ng his disorganized fcllowers. He was, later on, at Montreal trying to hea! up troubles there—consequentiy, he never wrote the the letter.

Unrestricisd Reciprocity

a ee

What the True Meaning ot the Liberal Poiicy fs.

(St. Juhn Gazeite.)

First. The entire destruction of the wholesale trade of Canada, New York and soston taking the imports which now come to Montreal, Toronto, Halifax and Sr. John, i

Second. The loss at least of $15,000,000

| a year of Canadian revenus which must be

made up by direct taxation. Of this taxa

tion the county of St. John, with its 60,000 inhabitants, would have to pay $180,00¥ annually.

Third. It would destroy forever St. John's chances of becoming the winter port of Canada for all the intransit business of Canada would go to Portland, Boston and New York.

Fourth. St. John would cease to be an importing point for British goods, and the only ships that would ever come here would be the vessels engaged in the deal trade.

Fifth. The manufacturing industries of St. John would be ruined and the estab- tishments which now furni-h yment to thousands of people wouid be closed.

Sixth. Asa result of this, property in St. John would decline to less than half its present value, for at least half our popula- lation would be obliged to leave the city for lack of employment. The factories of Massachusetts wou'd obtain the business which our people had feolishly thrown away.

ent te Lecture at Kelly's Cross.

A large audience assembled in the Schoo! Hall, on Thursday evening, 12th inst., when Mr. J. H. Hasiam lectured under the euspices of the Kelly's Cross Debating Club, on **Suecess.”” The President of the Club, Mr, Jno Bradley, oeeupied the chair. Amongst those present, we noticed Messrs. D. Ferguson, Donald E. Cameion, D. Me- Leod and O. Wadman. The people of Kelly's Croas have always been noted for their good conduct at public meetings, and their attention on this occasion well repaid them, for the lecture was very instructive and fall of good advice. It is auch to be regretted that the whole of this lecture was act delivered, but for what we did receive we are truly thankful. Mr. Haslam began by describing society as we find it at the present day. From this he passed to the great inventions and works of the present century ; these he loeked upon as success in its highest form, and pointed out how they have been accomplished. He also dwelt on the success of men who have risen from the lowest walks in life to the very highest positions in the land. Those he he!d up to all men as examples to imitate. To young

vice, viz. : not to spend their leisure hours in those pleasures which physically and mentally ruin men ; but on the contrary to devote their time to education, that great lever which raises all men to success, and

the lecturer and by his excellent lecture, he at least has put his spare time to good use and consequently reaps his reward.

On motion of Mr. John Smith. seconded by Mr. John Bradley, a vote of thanks was unanimously passed and tendered to Mr. Has‘am, which he suitably acknowledged.

The lecture beingS over, Mr. Ferguson was called upon by the people to address them on the political questions of the day. To this request Mr. Ferguson ralily res- ponded, and in an able and telling speech he set forth and defended the policy of the Conservative party. He clearly showed the tactics and miserable trickery of the Grits. He announced that he and Mr. Blake were going to contest (Queens County in the interests of the Conservative party, and hoped that on election day the peop'e of Kelly’s Cross would give them their support, to which they heartily res- ponded they would. Messrs. Cameron, McLeod, and Haslam also addressed the meeting. Jas. H. Devergacx,
