wl These unemployed men have noth- ing to commend them to the poli- ticians of the machine type, because they are not rich; they cannot pro wise the turnover of any large num- ber of votes; they can give no mo- ney or influence to the evil work of the Grit machine. Yet these unemployed men are white men; they are of British birth: they are honest, intelligent, able and willing to work; and to their fath- H‘sâ€"the noble and undaunted pion- eersâ€"we owe the very existence and the very prosperity and progress of this country. THERE IS WORK TO DO. Why should these men suffer in omniorts and necessities because they are, denied the opportunity to work. There is work to do. There is work being done. Why are white men of British birthâ€"Canadians. Englishmen, Scotchmen, Irishmenâ€" why are these men passed over in this white man’s country? THE REASON. Because foreigners can be found who will do the same work for less than a white man‘s pay. In Victoria and Haliburton to-day there are hundreds of honest, hard- working, decent men of Canadian and British birth who are out of employ- ment. Fourteen Cents'iWouId Entitle Plaintiff to Costs And they send their earnings in thousands off to sunny Italy, to en- rich the people there, to make trade for the merchants there. Ha-s the time come when the men of Canadaâ€"men of loyal British birthâ€"will tnmely stand aside and They do not bring their families here. They do not live here; they simply exist. The Italian can keep his family in Italy much cheaper than the Cana- dian or the British-born can keep his family in this bracing climate. Gon- sequently the Italian who comes to this country without any family (as most of them do) can exist. here him- self. and send enough good money back to his home land, to keep his family in luxury and comfort. in that cheap and sunny clime. .

E. Weldon appeared for the plaintiff and Hopkins and Hopkins for the deiendant. Miss Wessels claimed that she sold Gillespie, who is Mr. M. Mansfield’s foreman, certain timber. The evi~ dence went to show that the timber in question did not measure to Mans- field’s satisfaction, the land had been called and the timber was not up to the mark. The evidence taken as to the price of timber was varied and The jury went out about 4.30 o’- PAGE SIX. From a Speech Delivered Many Years Ago By Colonel Hughes in the House of Commons.

Certainly not, so long as men of British birth are loyal to their tra- ditions. During the past few sessions Col. Hughes has taken a promlnent and helpful part in the magnificent fight put up by the Conservative party in Opposition to prevent our land being handed over in instalments to the foreigners. Canadian families must ‘be main- tained on a higher‘ plane than in competition with the imported for- eigners.
