But this failure was due as much to the intrigues of the grits, with Farrer for their apostle, as to any other cause Not only has reciprocity been repeatedly refused, but the tariff has been applied as a result of the misrepresentation of grit emissaries; that Canada cannot live without the trade of the United States, and that if the screws changed conditions | t and wife, St. John; O butter | McKinley | were but pet on, Canada would be forced to ask for terms of Annexation.

In trying to disturb the publie mind, and to create dissatisfac- tion with the Government, the Grits have gone to the farmers may and have that they have been persecuted, that they aré > be- coming poorer every day and that the pol- icy of the Government was only framed | for the manufacturers at their expense. The grits thought that if they could meeting, in introducing the speakers for | the evening, said: to be able to say, to-night, that we have been favored during the past three or four days with the presence of two of the Min- isters of the Dominion Government—Hon. Mr. Angers. Minister of Agriculture, and Hon. Mr. Foster, Minister of Finance. Their time has been occupied in visiting certain sections of the country, and in receiving delegations representative of the various industries of this Province ; and to-night we are to have the very great pleasure of listening to both of , these gen- tlemen. I am glad to see so large and attentive an audience as that now pre- sent. There are two great questions that are of paramount importance. The first of these is agriculture. We are high- ly honored with the presence of the head of that department, and the hon. gentle- man does himself an honor to visit us, and io see for himself what sort of a country we have. I am sure that what he has seen of it has pleased him immensely, and that he will tell you that he has seen no finer country than this Island. Jt is satis- factory to us to be visited by a gentleman oceupying the a hesdoes; and I am sure his remarks will be listened to with very great pleasure by this audience. The other great question which affects our in- terests very deeply is that of finance, or the tariff. In fact, that is the question of the day in this Dominion, I do not sup- pose the Hon, Minister of Finance will to- night take us fully into his confidence with respect to that question ; but I dare say he is prepared to throw some addi- tional light upon it. The great question before our people to-day is Free Trade vs. Protection, or a modified system of Free Trade vs. modified Protection. I have much pleasure in calling upon the Hon. Mr. Angere, Minister of Agriculture, to address the meeting. Hon. Mr. Angers was loud cheers, and said: Iam afraid will think you have been invited tend this meeting under false pretences in being called upon to listen to some remarks from me; for, no doubt, you came here for the purpose ofhearing the eloquent Minister of Finance. It hap- pens that out of my turn, I have been wlth you to at- received called upou to speak first on this oceasion. I fear you will be great ly disappointed with my address on account of my having to speak to you in a language which is not my own. I have not the language of an Englishman; but I have been born under British institutions and have the feelings of a Britisher. I come from a Province, the people of which have many brothers among your Own population. I allude to the Acadians of this Island —~and I bring to all your citizens a message ef friend- ship from that Province, namely, the Province of Quebec. We are not eonfined to the limited horizon of our own Province, but entertain a kind feeling feeling towards the people of this beautiful green Island, which rests at the mouth of the St, Lawrence like an emerald on the head of a queen, I may observe that I would much rather hear you express your grievances and your appreciation of the Government of the Domininion than to be called upon to ad- dress you. Perhaps you would like to hear from me what prospect the grits have of getting into power in this country. Well, I will take you into my confidence with respect to that question. Mr. Laurier, | the leader of the liberal party, told his sup- porters previous to the last general election that he would obtain the reins of power. Well, the contest was a very close one, but the Goyernment came out with a very respectable majority, viz,, from 30 to 35 supporters. After the election, however, the grit members were weighed ir. the scales of justice, and, one by one,’ they dropped out as false coins, until their party was very much reduced in numbers. At the close of the by-elections, the Gov- ernment majority rose from 35 to between 60 and 70. Now, what caused that great change in the short space of a few months ? [It was owing to the fact that during the general election the treasury of the Province of Quebec had It affords me pleasure | | expressed from time to time. | greater been plundered by the agents of Mr. Laurier for | electioneering purposes. Thousands and thousands of dollars had been taken out | of the Treasury by Mr. Mercier, for the purpose of corrupting the electors; and it is said that some of that money reached the Maritime Provinces, Mr, Mercier did not deny the charge, but merely said that if such was the fact he was very glad. Well, how was it after the bye-elections the people’s minds changed so very much ? It was owing to the fact that Mr. Mer- cier and his party had lost the keys of the Treasury of the Province of Quebec, After the Quebec elections Mr. Mercier came back with 17 support- in‘the Local House, ont of a total of Wiccetiens It is true that at the last gmerai election for the Dominion, the lib- elale came very nearly getting into power; “out there is many @ slip between the cup apd the lip,” and instead of holding their own, they lost support. Since then they have been looking for a policy to suit the people of this country. They proposed Commercial Union with che United States, but not one man in the Dominion would adopt it and go to the people thereon. It is a policy that would surrender our liberties without oe gain to our yle in matters of trade, Ehuplause). 'Fhey then fell back upon their old free trade platform. It might, perhaps, satisfy the people of this Islay1 to have free trade with the United States; } reach the farmers under false pretenses, they could seeure the rains of power. Well, I am here to ask you, if you have such grievances, and whether the Leader of the Government still] your confidence. Have not the present Govern- ment always been reformers of the Tariff? When they framed the National Policy, it was not intended to be like a bar of iron, to last forever, but to be modified and shaped to meet the wants of the people, as i Never have reforms been made in the tariff than those made in the past by the Lib- eral-Conservatives. From year to year they have been reducing taxation and have al- ways had in mind the interests of the con- sumer, tke farmer and the fishermen. They have wiped off the duties upon cof- fee, tea and sugar, whiskey and being at a great discount. When making tea free, the Government had in view the temperance question, and the wants of the fisherman «nd the farmer. The abolition of the duty on those articles meant a reduction of revenue to ~ the extent of three mi ions of dollars per year. They removed the duty upon cans for fish, by placing tin upon the free list. Upon articles of luxury,on the other hand, used by the rich, the duties have been _ in- possesses beer creased, To show you that the vrit statement that the manufacturers are becoming richer and the farmers poorer every day, is not correct I will refer you to the deposits of the savings of the people inthe banks. The deposits in the post offices, of the farr- ers of Canada, during the past year amounted to 15 millions of That does not include the pended in the improvement of their farms and in procuring goed stock, nor the money loaned on promissory notes, nor that loaned on mortgages, nor the chartered banks, but in the amount deposited in post offices alone. In the savings banks they have deposits amount- ing to seven millions of dollars, making a total of twenty-two millions of dollars. That amount is, I believe, much under the mark at the present time There is to the credit of the people ofthis Provinee, in the savings banks, no less than $2,181,- 000. How much of that amount do you suppose was deposited by the farmers ? iu know edge must be ' That was their answer to our bank has failed to meet its obligations anc to assist trade freely and liberally. You have to travel thousands of miles in Cana- da to find a bank which has even tempor- arily suspended its payments. That is a condition of things which must strike you favorably Commercially speaking; we have nothing to envy the people of the United States. there are grits who depreciate Canada, and boast of what is being done in the United States At present a leading | liberal, and associate of Laurier and Tarte. who was declared by the former as his | lieutenant,—I allude to Mr. Mercier—is in the United States preaching annexation. Now, if that is the disguised policy of the | liberal party, if that is the outcome of the | grit convention at Ottawa, I may tell you that the hopes of the liberals ever getting into power are very small indeed, and at the close of the next general election they wi:' be smaller still. For the people of the | United States I have the highest admira- tion, but I love my own dear country best. (Cheers). Asa government, we regret that we have not been able to come to an understanding with the United States with respec. to a treaty of reciprocity, which j would benefit this and the other Maritime Provinces to a very great extent. We have done al] that was in our power to srcure il very Of course such a treaty, but have been unsuccessful. Instead of fairly on that they passed the McKinley Bill. request for meeting us matter, a fair measure of reciprocity Now, the McKinley Tariff was not the work of Canada, but of | the United States No doubt that tariff was devised by men who went from Can- | ala to the United States and-suggested to | some of the leading men of that country that the Lest way of forcing Canada into } annexation with the States would be the adoption of the McKinley Tariff. Mr. Farrar, of the Globe newspaper, went to the United States and instructed the poli- ticlans where to strike at Canada in order to hurt her most. But we. will not say that the grit party is responsible for the deeds of Mr. Farrar. In order to strike at Canada, Mr. Farrar ad- vised that a duty of $30 each be placed on horses and ten per cent. per bushel upon That, said he, will burst the ernment of Canada. That was the main object of the McKinlay Tariff. When that bill came into operation the Dominion Government did all in their power to stim- late the trade between Canada and Great Britain They endeavored to create a trade with the mother country, to take the place } oats, Gov- of the diminished trade with the United States. Our trade with the latter had decreased by two millions of dollars but the rewival of trade with England through the British spirit, resulted in an increase of seventeen millions, showing a net increase of fifteen millions of dollars. They looked around, and seeing the beautiful farms of the Dominion, they found that it would benefit the people in some sections by encouraging the dairying ) industry. This they accordingly did. | That industry will result in larger | dividends to our farmers than any other. Those profits will exceed those of any manufacturing industry. A cow properly treated, fed and taken care of, will give as high a dividend as 30 per cent, This Pro- vince is specially adapted to dairying. You have fertile lands and raise large | quantities of grain, but it is impossible for | you to compete with the great Northwest dollars. | amount ex- | deposits in | Of those deposits, no less than $1,090,000 | belong tothem, and the balance to the people of tue towns. You may be eurious to know at what rate | you have accumulated this wealth. Well, this Province entered Con- federation in 1873, at which time the amount on deposit was only $336,000. During the past year, the total deposit was no less than $2,181,000. That sum is now at your disposal in the savings banks, bearing interest. Province in 1871 was 94,000, and in 1891 109,000, showing an increase of 15,000, or sixteen per cent., which is a larger increase than we have had‘ in either Ontario or Quebec during the same period. Now, it is clear that the increase of deposits in the savings banks has been very much greater than that of the population, This is the best evidence of the growing wealth of the people of this Island. In 1874, under the Grit regime, the shipping tonnage of this Province was 964,000, and in 1892 it amounted to no less than 1,374,000, an increase of forty per cent. Comparing the returns for the year 1874 with those for 1892, 1 find that vour fisheries have also increased by 125 per cent. The value of animals exported from this Province dur- ing the same period increased to the extent of 200 per cent., and the agricul- tural products 215 per cent. All these increases are in favor of the far- mers. Our neighbors across the line are a very great people, and they have a beau- tiful country. They have a varied climate and the products of the soil are of great value; but I believe we have no canse to envy them. During the past few vears our bank failures have been very few in comparisons withftheirs. So that in the management of our public institutions we have. been more successful on this side of the line. We regret very much the great crisis now occurring in the United States, and it is with painful feelings I state that January last no less than thirty-five banks have failed in that country.
