"The present governfient, in my opinion," he said, "i working in the interests of the people bf this pro virice. There are some people who say ! that the government is all right, but that 'they are spending too much mon I am only sorry that we have not more monéy to spend; so long as {it is spent honestly, it js money well spent.'"* Reference was made to an in- crease in the revenue since the present rovernment had taken eontrol. There had been an increase from five mil lion dollars in 1905, nine in 1910. He claimed that when the present administration came into pow all the institutions were in a de lapitated condition and pow they were in the best of condition. Reference was made to the new railroads being built in New Ontario; and the big revenue which is being derived from them The speaker referred to the present | appointment of fishery overseers in this county, by the Ottawa govern- mem t These appointments were a mystery to him. This department had been well managed" and he did not see why these appointments should be matdb.c He wes of the opinion that the wen were appointed so as to report certain things to the government, Mr. Crothers, after referiing to the wealth of the patural resources of the country, referred to the Farmers' bank and reciprocity. "The existence of the Farmers' bank," he said, "and the wreek which followed, are attributed to the negli gence of the government st Ottawa, and to the gentleman who is at the head of the finance department, Hon. Mr. Fielding--the gentleman who, a short time ago, received a present of £120,000 and refused to tell the people af C abada who contributed that hand- 'vole present. The speaker referred to the banking act, and clasmed that it had been violated in the case of the Farmers' Bank. It was necessary that there shall be at least $I00.000 of stock subscribed. Those who make bona fide subscriptions, must pay in cash at least $250,000, In this case an aff davit from the manager of the bank had been taken which was [radulent, and the finance minister should have investigated."

The question could be looked at from many view points. Every man, no matter how patriotic, might differ on the question. Considerable could be said on both sides. It would ill become any man to speak in a dog matic manner concerning it. Jt was a "Canada is not a peanut st and, and the people of Canada are not a na tion of hucksters," said the speaker. "The country extends from the .

The speaker held that many had a wrong idea about the reciprocity agreement of 1854. They were ob the opinion that the reciprocity agreement = was the for the farmers being It was due to fact that England and Russia were at war at the time, .and that higher prices were paid for products. After the war, the prices iropped again : Dr. James F. Gibson made a few remarks at the close of Mr. COrothers' address, stating that he favored, re cipracity for the sale of poultry. Dr. Edwards said that he had sev oral lotters addressed to fim, through the press retently, on the reciprocity agreement, and he had been asked to express his opinion before even some of the Tnembers on the liberal side ol the house. "There are some men | cannot sat no matter what I de,' said Dr, Edwards." [t is a question which ba engaged the attention of some of the ablest men on both sides of the house. There are only two or three men who could settle the question, off hand, and they live in Glenburnie and Pitts- burgh."

There was a great difference between this agreement and the one the con- servatives, when in power; wished to have passed. As stated by Mr. Croth- ors, twelve other countries were to henefit by the agreement. Farmers were of the opinion that they would derive a great benefit from the agreement, but the henefits would not' be as great as they thought. Dr. Edwards made an attack upon the government stating that it did not care for the people. This had been shown when the navy bill had been brought up: This trade arresment hod heen brow aght in to cover up the mis take made in introducing the navy bill. Tu the reciprocity question, he beljeved that the only way lo decide the matter was to sum up all the benefits on one wide, the evils on © other side, nnd then to balance them off and vote accordingly. He believed that there was no necessity for the agreement. He believed that an agree- ment with the states would hate been secured very soon, and without Can- ada making the eacrifices. W. F. Nickle did not favor rediprs. city, and said that such an apres nent would never have beens heard of, had it not been for the navy bill Something had to be done. to cover up this scheme. He heid that the heritage handed down mmst be pre served, and that no agreement should be entered into which woukl in ane way break the cords hindisg England and Canada together. Mr. Carstairs, the organizer, spoke briefly, and the meeting was closed with cheers for the king, and conser. vative party, after a vote of thanks had been tendered to the speakers.
