MHOLY ALLINCE =} WITH NATIOWLISTS | The Montreal Witness De« nounces the Anti-British Talk of Nationalists It would be impossible to invent a OF more spiteful charge against Great Britain than that given utterance to by the celebrated Jean Prevost at St. Jerome. Jean Prevost quite outdoes Mr. Bourassa in his mal fee. Mr. Bourassa is in the habit of having "found ft right and good to cause 50, 900 men to be massacred, millions of farms to be ravaged, homes to be pil iaged, women to be outraged, and little children to be shut up in pestilential camps, where they die like flies." * It remained for Jean Prevost to de clare that Great Britain, being afraid of Germany, had found it necessary to look to the United States for sup port, and in order to obtain her treaty | of arbitration with the United States had coerced Sir Wilfrid Laurier into the reciprocity agreement. Satanic hatred never inspired any slander more ingeniously flendish.

These things were uttered in support of Mr. Nantel, the Conserva- | tive candidate for Terrebonne, and) received no rebuke from him. This, | indeed, is the spirit in which the whole | Conservative campaign !s being car- | ried on in this Province. The chief] Conservative organ keeps shouting | "Vive Monk! Vive Autonomy! Down | with the Navy! Down with Laurier | and his party! The Catholics of the | West and the French of the east will soon be revenged." According to it, | it is Mr. R. L. Borden who is "safe-| guarding the best traditions of the | Conservative party and is working for | the best interests of Canada." This is (ae crowd, strange to say, | that The Orange Sentinel of Toronto | violently supports. Two reasons why Bir Wilfrid Laurier "should be de | feated" is the heading of a partisan | manifesto aggressively displayed in| The Sentinel. The first of these rea | sons is: "Sir Wilfrid has shoyn him- | self a friend of the Ultram¥ntanes, | He has offered up as a sacrificé the educational rights of the West upon the altar of the Papacy." Is it not| then a little curious that among hi own pebple it is the Ultramontanes, | and almost they only, who oppose Sir Wilfrid Laurier? 1s it not strange! that the newspaper 'that maligns him | at the rate of six columns a day is the one exclusively taken in the Ultramon- | tane colleges Is it not strange that the principal charge of these, his] enemies, against him {s that of betray- ing their educational rights in the | West? The other reason given in this | manifesto is that "he has tried to force commercial union upon the country! without glving the electors a chance to express their opinion. He calls it} reciprocity, but President Taft, Speak er Clark and all the public men in the American republic call it annexation." We db not know whether The Senti- nel was paid to publish this manifesto or not. If it appeared as a statement | of the party we should say that the paper was right in publishing it, for all have a right to be heard. Bat it was equally its duty to Inidrm its readers, some of whom no doubt be-| lieve what they réad in that paper, that it Is a series of falsehoods.--Mont- real Witness. | "Your executive does not hesitate to say that it believes that the recipro- city agreement between Canada and the United States is in the interests of the Canadian people. If other proof of this were wanting, the fact that the | Canadian Manafacturers' Association is against it would be sufficient to | prove it mlust be of some valie to the workers. This organization has never tired of proclaiming its love for 'free' labor, becatise that helps its pocket. Reciprocity has long been recognized in the international trade pnion move- mint, and we see no danger to any- thing but the pockets of a few inter ested capitalists in permitting the people of the two countries to swap knives, if they see fit to do so, without the intervention of a horde of Cus- toms officials. The trade union move ment is better and stronger because of the freedom it enjoys in the ex- | change of benefits.
