HAWKINS INVISIBLE'BELTS YEAR 87: NO. 262. 0 HAVE DEFINITE. TARIFF BEFORE NEXT ELECTIONS Premier Meighen Speaks at Winnipeg--He Deplores the ™ Narrow Partisan Mould--We Must Make it Profit- able to Manufacture Goods in Canada. 'Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 26.--Right Hon, Arthur Meighen and Hon. J. A. Calder opened their western Canada campaign on behalf of the platform and policies of the National Liberal and Consérvative party here last night, by addressing an audience of five thousand electors. 7 Perhaps its outstanding =Teature was the unity of the leaders of the two old historic parties, which the character of its composition pro- claimed. On the platform, as chairman and pleading for the submergence of the old party war- cries, was Isaac Pitblado, K.C., one of the leaders of Winnipgg Liberal- ism, while others present, who in days gone by were stalwarts under the banner of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, included Isaac Campbell, K.C., Ed- ward Parpell, T. R. Deacon, L. E. Richards, K.C.,, W.A. Matheson, and many more. A few disturbers who attempted to heckle Mr. Calder were speedily silenced, and the minister of coloni- zation, who made a spirited defence of his decision to stand with the new party, was given an ovation when he sat down. Introduced by the chairman 'as "The first son of Manitoba to rise to the premiership of the Domin- fon," Mr. Meighen received a tumul- tuous reception, the audience rising almost as a body and cheering with- out restraint, Need of Tariff, . '"There must be," sald Premier Meighen, "such a tariff as will make it pay Canadian industiies to remain in Canada and make it pay indus- tries to grow and make good within this country, Up to that point, and not beyond that point, the tariff in Canada on any class of goods should go. 1 ask the people of 'Winnipeg, if you first of all -decide that you must take gcocunt of the needs: of industry and the need of keeping them in this ceuntry, can yap pos- sibly adopt a more restric prin- ciple than that? We do not /intend to go further. There is no value whatever in a tariff that does less. 1 do pot see how to find out what is necessary except by the most careful 'and thorough inquiry that "That 4s the course the government is pursuing, and before the electors of this eourdtry are asked to decide between our course and the vagaries of our vari- ous oppositions they will have a de- finite tariff from 'us in black and white. By the principle I have de- fined, by the limits I have clearly set out, that tariff will be vontruct- "If T am 'asked." he continued, "whether it will be possible to have a lower scale than prevails to-day, or not, I say that must await the completion of the investigation. For myself, I would hope that in the final result it would be found not Ato be higher, and perhaps lower than it is now, but I belleve the interest of Canadians of every class require that Canadian industries remain Canadian industries, and that Cana- dian industries and not American industries grow with the growth of Canada, Mr. Meighen asserted that Mr. acting | | King has no case 'when he charged the government with using auto- cratic methods. "The authority of parliament over its executive is just as complete, just as final, just as supreme -at this hour and has been at every moment of the last six years as it ever has | been in the history of Canada or any country on earth." he said. "There has never been .a single day | when parliament could not, by auth- jority vote, have voted the govern- Ment from office or forced it to a general election." § Definite Programmes "The National Liberal and Con- servative Party," said its leader, "prevents a definite programme, a definite principle and unmistakably defines where it stands. We present the record of a long list of vigorous legislation. We hold out a pro- gramme of reform really accom- pHshed unprecedented in the. - his- tory of this country. I appeal to the citizens of Canada, east and west, who vision this country ag one great unit and not a collection of sec- tions; I appeal to all to measure forces and to look ahead, to have regard to performance and to prin- ciple, and to know well where they are going. citizens of a great country whether it is better to adhere in reason and in moderation to polices that have stood the test of forty years, that have been weighed in the balance of two great parties and have not been, found wanting--whether {t is better to put your trust in men who have stood true in the days of trial and through the night of tragedy and terror rather than to follow the un- certain vagaries of an orator who promises all things to all men. "The big task of the next few years id the development of the re- sources of Canada. Conservative plang that bring real results in the development of our resources must be thought out and got under way, and policies consistent with these plans must be pursued. Do not let the west of this country get the idea that the east must remain the busi. ness centre of this dominion. A ter- ritory that has the coal and the ore and the mineral wealth of wastern Canada js bound to become a great industrial land. Old Partisan Hatreds. "There are those who continua to dote upon the old partisan hatreds, who would divide our paliticg into narrow grooves of bigoted thought, who want to return to the old futile quatrels. These men do not take into account the new spirit created by the war. Do you believe that men and women are not profoundly af- fected 'when they see about them the tragedies and the sufferings of a scourged and bleeding world? Surely it should teach us to avoid harsh extremes, to avoid the rigid, narrow mould of partisanship which crushes and warps and blinds. Sure- by it should teach us to stand still firmly together while storms rage around; to march with care, to re- member that experience is better than theory, that performance is bet- ter than promise, and to hold fast that which is good." RUDD PLANING MILL IN ARNPRIOR BURNT Early Morning Fire Results in Loss of mi and Lumber 8. Araprior, Oct. 25.--A fire which b.gan in the early hours of Sunday morning did about $15,000 worth of damage to the planing mill and tim- ber piles of G. R. Rudd & Co.

Information received here by the Veterans is to the effect that in very many American cities large numbers of men have been laid off by the var- ious industries, especially by auto fac- tories, and that such men are flock- ing to this country to secure work.

In Manitoba the striking figure is a wet majority in the city of Winnipeg, which now totals 6,328, but twelve of the ¢oun- try districts will roll up large ma- jorities of around ten thousand, and the net result 'will likely he a ma- jority for the drys of from five to six thousand. A large wet majority in Springfield is 'accounted for by the big liquor vote in 3t. Boniface, where thirteen polls went 'wot by a majority of 1,166, the drys only having, all told, 674 votes.

Loudon, Oct. 26. --Over 100 re- markable drug tests have been un- dentaken by a woman scientist, Miss May Smith, M.A., and her colleague, William McDougall, F.RS., at the paychological laboratory at Oxford. They were taken by way of experi- ments in opium, alcohol, strychirine and tea, and the results have been reported to the medical résearch council. Miss Smith, never before these tests, had taken alcohol to her know- ledge in any shape or form, and in order to obviate foreknowledge ' of what drug was being taken and so possibly obscuring the true effects by chloroform fall into one group in their effects on the nervous system and strychnine, opium and tea into another group.
