THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG ore \ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1033. = RRRRRRRRRARRERARRRRRRRRRRARRRRRERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREY } J] To the Electors of Kingston and Portsmouth Ladies and Gentlemen: With the very large number of voters in the City it has been impossible to make a personal call on each and every person. I am, therefore taking this means of making a final appeal to you. I am emphatically in accord with the policies of the King Government. The affairs of the Country were in a deplorable condition when the King Government assumed control. Artificial prosperity had been created for a few years after the war by unwarranted expenditures and the enormous national debt created by the Conservative Government was increasing at a rapid rate. h { he After less than four years of King administration, the Budget has been more than balanced and shows a surplus on the right side. Our railway systems have been lifted out of a state-of chaos and unified into' a harmonious and efficient system and their large operating deficit has been furned into a substantial surplus, The King Government is opposed to Placing the people of this Country in the power of a railway monopoly by handing the Canadian National Railway system over to the Canadian - Pacific Railway Company, but by economies and good management lace the Canadian National Railway in such a position that in a short time it will be paying its fixed charges. Business is improving everywhere and with the improvement of business there is every possibility that new locomotives will be needed. We all hope to see the Canadian Locomotive Works running full blast during the coming winter. It is proposed to appoint a tariff commission that will make an unbiased report on the question of duties: This report will be acted on by the government and" a tariff will no doubt be formulated that will Je "daifiiate protection to the manufacturers without puiting a crushing load on the consumer, a tariff that will be fair to all the provinces from the Atlantic to the Pacific with their conflicting inter- ests. Business is improving and our young men forced out of the Country by the reckless extravagan- ces of the Meighen Government, cr a state of affairs which has taken some time fo rectify, are now returning in large numbers. : go. 15 BESS SEER N YI NI NIV UDB EN UNI ENES UE UNESP STIPEND II IRENE In local affairs as inthe past I will always work for the best interests of the City, The King Gov- ernment will undoubt be returned to pa bya e majority and the esented by a member who is in Sympathy with the alot rey ad iby dsm Io iton all and or Boer effort must be put forth to have Kingston made the deep water terminal of the great lakes, when the Welland Canal is completed.
