(From Our Own Correspondent) OTTAWA, 0nt.. Feb. 22. —Hou. r. Manion, continuing the budget abate last evening, congratulated be Finance Minister on the stabil- ty of the tariff for this session at east. There was no tariff tinker- ng this time: This is what the Conservatives have advocated for years. Some consider many of Canada's troubles are consequent on geography. We had railway difficulties and sectional troubles of one kind or another, but if we wish to make progress as a nation. we must study all questions from a national, not a sectional viewpoint.

He was free to ‘unless the government had not hus far shown any warm feeling n the matter. He was not direct- y interested in the Maritimes he said, but he was interested in con- tributing to the up-building of a great Canadian Nation on this part of the North American continent. He dealt at length with thc coal, iron and mineral wealth of the country, and predicted that twenty five years from now Canada would be more of a mineral than a grain _' growing country. - This fact re- quired a wise and progressive out- In order that the country might bene- fit to the full a stable, adequate protective policynsjt _ijovail.

Dr. Manion that Canada was becoming a min- oral producing country, and in a short time would be exporting min- erals rather than grain. He dwelt ut length on the gold and other mining activities of British Colum- bia and particularly of his own dis- irict 'of Caribou. Ho pointed out the advantage these mining centres wore to agriculture. As soon as mining begins a town springs up slid provisions of all kinds are required. He reiterated llon.
