Now; the ingoes 0! Ontario and the Na.- tionalists 0! Quebec were united in .mnéemning a policy they had pre- viously approved. and an appeal was? about to be made to the opposition‘ to unite with the government to lift the navy out of politics. Mr. Borden had made his bed. let him lie upon it and solve his om difficulties. No po- litical party has ever beiote asked the opposition to help them out of a difficulty. He concluded by asking support for the next Liberal candiâ€" date. When Sir Wilfrid decided to make the present tour of Ontario, he wanted to have the aflairs of the country discussed. He explained that' Sir Wilfrid, at the particular mom- ent was going to the Opera House to: :epeali. He complained that the To- ronto Conservative papers gave no space to the present tour. Do the Conservative 'orators tell you that the Pope of Rome is about to apâ€" point 5’ Cardinal in Montreal. That is not the fault of Mr. Borden, it is the business of the church of Rome. Laurier’s heart burns with but one ambition, a united British Empire. The speaker said Sir Wilfrid’s po- licy had been first and always for} British preference. His leader then‘ docked for wider markets. He thoughfll to unite the two great parts of Ca- nada. :We are facing a new set of conditions. How is the vast British Empire to be unified ? The speaker asked if any Conservative in the au- dience approved of Mr. Monk or Pel- >ietier, or Mr. Nantel in the Borden Cabinet. Mr. King concluded amid a .roar of cheers. ' When the labe Liberal govarnment Hon. ASTIRRING ADDRESS Mr. Graham, in a. vigorous GREET LAURIER “Our opponents sneered last year that the cost of living could not be reduced by any proposition that would help the agriculturists of Ca- nada. I am able to quote you an in-t stance I heard today, showing how} free trade with the United States! would have shaken ofi some of the shackles that the consumer bears. ‘ THE COST OF LIVING ‘ “I am told that a. car of Canadian canned goods costs the wholesaler $2,300 more at the point of producâ€" tion than American canned goods cost the American wholesaler at their point of production. The Cana- dian combine soaks the Canadian wholesaler $2,300 a car, and they are laughing at the ease by which du- plicity wan the last election."

The Grand Trunk Pacific was to be a better road than speech, dwelt on the cost of living. the transportation problem, and new markets and how to get them. the Toronto to Montreal line, all the way from coast to coast, with but one heavy grade as exception. .On it. as planned. one locomotive would have hauled more than two locomo- tives on any other transcontinental have hauled more fives on any 0““ road in America. DEGRADING THE G.T.P. “If they are degrading their road. I call them to account to the people of Canada," cried Mr. Graham. A GREAT SLANDER The Hon. Sydney. Fisher spoke (or the Province of Quebec. “You heard throughout Ontario that the Liberals had a French-Cana- dian and a Roman Catholic at the head of their party and he could not be loyal to the British Empire. No greater slander was ever repeated against a man or a. people." er. Borden had appeared on the platform of Nationalist candidates in the eastern tOWnships of Quebec and endorsed them. It was the contrast between the conduct of ‘the ultra-loyal Conserva- tive party and the party which had proposed a Canadian navy to aid the Empire and had granted the Bri- tish preference. Sir Wilfrid had never gone into Quebec and excited his compatriots against a harmonious policy with Britain. The unity of Canadian na- tionhood had been the achievement of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The Conserva- tive party, with their allies, the Na- tionalists, were now trying to rend that unity in twain. Mr. Bourassa had declared against a navy or a contribution of any kind, and it was an that cry the Conservatives hoped ;to carry Quebec. nouuouu uuu. U66“ buy uvu.vvv._v_- 3t Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

It divided on ra-, cia-l grounds, French and English. In Quebec the ConserVatives, almost without exception, took the ground that no naVy should- be established, and that we should never fight for England under any consideration whatever. BUILD NAVY IN CANADA. “I said, Canada should build a navy in Canada, equip it in Canada, man it in Canada, and that it should be under the control of the‘people oi 'beC. and the antagonistic passions of iQntario, and (or fear of these pasâ€" sions since, they have not been able to do anything. I charge the men who now sit in omce with having obtained ofice by means of the most lunpatriotic appeal.” THE MAJORITY’S MISTAKE Canac' Sir Wilfrid’s call to speak was the last ( signal for an outburst of cheering of the lasting for more than a minute. Canat “The majority makes mistakes in da sometimes," said Sir Wilfrid Laur- Engla ier, after referring to his lack of his dian former trappings of office. “The un- try. ‘- fortunate part of it is that when the all tl majority makes mistakes the minorâ€" ther ity has to suffer.

We have had peace for 100 years, but we are not forever guar- anteed peace. We have 1,000 miles of defenceless coast on the Pacific, and that much more on the Atlantic. THE NAVAL, QUEFTION “At the Imperial Conference some years ago, it was represented to us that we were doing nothing for our defence. We agreed to take charge of Halifax and Esquimalt and later, start a navy of our own. In 1909, we. passed a resolution, accepted by all parties. even Mr. Monk, leader of the Nationalists, to organize a Ca- nadian navy. Then, to make political capital, against us, the Conservative party opposed the Government’s pro- Canada. That was our policy at the last election, and that is the policy of the Liberal party now. We want a Canadian navy, but if England were in danger, no, not in danger, but if England were in trial,â€"â€"every Cana- dian would assist the Mother Conny try. We are Canadians first. last and all the time; but I say, if the Mo- ther Country requires our services, we will be only too glad to give it to her. As I have said before, if England were in' peril, I would take the stump and tell my people in Que- ial should be addressed,” declared the Liberal leader. “but to the two factions of the Conservative partyâ€"â€" the Nationalists and Jingoists.” bec we must. assist our mm Country. ‘ ’ THE WINNIPEG MEMQRIAL J- “â€" Sir Wilfrid referred to thy mar- ial calling for unity betweefi fiche parâ€" ties on the naval question: “It is not to me that this memor- ial should be addressed,” declared “It is not to the Liberals that the memorial should be addressed; we haVe a naval policy. I have told you what it is. The Nationalists have denounced me as a traitor to my The big crowd saw t roared its apprecia’mon. own race, but I do not mind that. We are all human; we have, all of us, deep down in our hearts they may be. human passions. To the evil passions of both parties, the Conser- vative party addressed themselves to win the fight. But we will not lol- low on that course. We are above that consideration. We were waiting for the policy of Mr. Borden, and we shall judge it on its merits. I appeal to you, my fellow citizens, to look at that question- on its merits, also, and on its merits alone.” STILL THEY DON'T KNOW “What is this policy of Mr. Bor- den? I do not know. He went to London to consult the Admiralty, and asked over there\for hiB‘con-zias- ions, he said: ‘I don’t know; I must consult my colleagues.’ He came Rubber Goods At Their Best '1 C llc’wllulv llklnux: v“ ber goods, but even the best will lose some of their quality in time.

Sir Wilfrid told a story to :‘llusâ€" tratc the position. A famous acroâ€" bat undertook to jump over St. Paul's Cathedral. He was an acrobat of no mean powers, but he undertow; to do what Mr. Borden is trying to do now. The famous acrobat went to St. Paul and looked over the ground. Then he refused to jump. There was no straw on the place where he was to alight. Mr. Foster. has gone over to London. He has been sent to bring over more straw. We’ll have to wait. Meanwhile we’ll stand by the act we put on the sca- tute books, which meets our whole duty as British subjects." DELAYED BY ELECTIONS Sir Wilfrid referred to the diflerence in preaching and practice of the Con- servatives in opposition and in- of- fice, instancing the delayed bye-elec- tions. "They don't dare to bring on the election in Richelieu, Quebec at the same time as in Macdonatd. Mani- toba. because their policy in Riche- lien and their policy in Macdonald are not the same." The cost of thing and the need of markets for the products of the West BE READY FOR ELECTION "Elections sometimes," concluded Sir Wilfrid, “come like a thief in the night, Let us be prepared for a. new election at any moment. Let this be our new motto: ‘DON’T CRY, DON'T WHINE; PREPARE FOR THE NEW FIGHT, AND PREPARE RIGHT AWAY. OAKWOOD NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS (Special to The Post.)
