Make your cross on Tuesday in the circle opposite the under name on the ballot paper, who will be the victor when the fight is over. Macl aren supporters are warned to be on the lookout for roor-backs or frauds of any kind being sprung upor them the last day or two before the election, as the @onservatives of this riding well know the record of their opponents in that line. Don't allow any subterfuge to prevent you from polling an honest vote. The gains which Mr. MacLaren has been daily making throughout the campaign from the Liberal ranks are the best possible " evidence that Mr. Laurier's visit to this riding shattered the little remaining confidence which a very considerable section of the Libera} party lad in him and his policy of shilly-shally. Now that Mr. freeborn is out of the fiel:l, the contest will be a straight fight between Mr. MacLaren and Mr. Grieve. That it will be a feir and squere one tothe eud, so far as Mr, MacLaren is concerned, there is no room for doubt, as the campaign has been conducted by him inan honorable, straightforward and gentlemanly man- ner throughout, his most ardent oppon- ents not being able to point to one single instance wherein they could raise a cry against him. The Stratford Beacon has exercised itself to the full exteut of its capacity for aspeising the ehuracter of its political opponents, and has only been able to discover that Mr. MacLaren is not a real estate owner in the riding, purposely over- looking the fnct that his interests ia the cheese wil other businesses are of vastly more importance to the farmers of North Perth than if he were the owner of a dozen farms in it. Asa private citizen the farmers of this riding have had no better friend, and as their representative at Ottawa, as he will undoubtedly be after Tuesday next, they will have cause to rat- ulate themselves upon their " behooves them, then, to go to the puus on Tuesday next and mark their ballots for A. F. MacLaren, cheese dealer. Ma:LAREN MEETINGS. Splendid meetings were held at At- wood and Trowbridge on Monday even- ing in Mr. MacLaren's interest. The + popular Conser a eda large gathering of electors at the former place, and was warmly received, Mr. Magwood, M. P. P., and Col. Campbell also addressed the meeting, defining the policy of the Conservative party in telling speeches. Messrs. W. Welch and S. Bricker spoke at Trow- brige to an equally enthusiastic audi- ence. Thursday afternoon the electors of Mornington were addressel at New- ton by Messrs. Magwood, Campbell, Welch and Hesson. On Wednesday evening a rousing meeting was held in Stratford in Mr. MacLaren's behalf, at which Messrs. T W Crothers, QC, of St. Thomas, H. B. Morphy and others spoke. This meeting is reported as having been the most enthusiastig of the campaign, andleaves no room ¥for doubt as to the sweeping majority that the elassic city will rollup for Mac- Laren on Tuesday next. Meetings 'will be held at Carthage and Rostock this Friday evening, also in Listowel, and on Saturday evening at Donegal and Monkton, which will bring the campaign, so far as public meetings are concerned, to a close. "Mr. Morphy at Seebach's Hill. Mr. H. B. Morphy of this town has been doing valliant platform work in the interest of Mr. A. F. MacLaren during the present campaign. As a local speaker he is without a compeer and has very few equals in either political party. His services have been in constant demand in this and the ad- joining ridings, and has been freely granted so faras possible. AtSeebach's Hill in Ellice the other evening Mr. Morphy made a masterly address, which is reported in the Stratford Herald as follows : H. B. Morphy, Listowel, was receiv- ed no Jess warmly than Mr. McLaren. Mr. Morphy said he was interesting himself in Mr. MacLaren not only be- cause he was a Conservative but a young and true Canadian entitled to the confidence of friend and foe alike. He had nothing to suy against Mr. Grieve personally. But however hon- ornble 2 man he might be in private or public life, Mr. Grieve's views on public questions were not such as to inspire confidence in him as a_ repre- sentative of the people. Mr. Morphy then took up Mr. Grieve's deliverance on the budget speech during the last session and which had been sent broad- east over the riding. A member of Parliament was expected to represent his community, and he should say all the good he could about the people and the country he represents, their indus- tries, kc. A member who does other than that is very prone to misrepre- sent. Mr. Morphy quoted from the speech to show that Mr. Grieve repre- sented farm property as having depre- ciated from 30 to 40 per cent. in his own section, Mr. Morphy showed how this speech would be used in foreign and unfriendly countries to the injury of the flow of emigration to Canada. To Mr. Morphy's mind it was very questionable if farm property had de- preciated to the extent claimed. But even snpposing such were the case, was it right for Mr. Grieve, without aiming to make a point, but simply so as to keep in the blue ruin rut, to give voice to such stories? He was mis- representing his constituents. Mr. Morphy showed from Mr. Grieve'sown bndget speech that England took $31,000,000 worth more of our farm produce than the United States, while she did not compete with the Canadian farmer. . Mr. Morphy then pointed out wherein. the. tariff under the N. P. worked in the interests of the farmer. In 1878 American pork raisers provid- ed Canadians, according to Mr. Grieve's own figures, with 33,000,000 pounds of pork. Last year only 34,006 pounds were imported. The Canadian farmer now, thanks to the duty on pork, sup- plies these 33,000,000 pounds and be- sides that sends 27,C00,000 pounds: an- nually to England. In the same manner Mr. Morphy showed how American butter, cheese, eggs, hay, &e., are legislated against and the market kept for the Canadian farmer. Auy tariff even proposed by the Liber- als meant alowering of the tariff against the United States, allowing the United States to compete with the produce the Cauadian farmers. Canadian farmers. Mr. Morphy showed, produc- ed some $160,000,000 worth more pro- duce than they can use. Of this some $50,000,000 went to Great Britain, the United States and other foreign coun- tries, and the $110,000,000 remaining was sald in Canada in the large cities-- the farmers' home market. The im- ports of American hogs had be-n shut off by the protective turf. Mr. Morphy would do the same thing with cheese and other products of the United States farm, by raising the tariff until they are completely shut out of the country, Mr. Morphy showed how on the cheap graziug lands of Texns and the West the Americans could produce cattle s0 cheaply as te edsily compete with Canadian cattle. Stock there is fed.on grass from Jan- uary to January, and cattle are raised ata cost of 75c. a head, while the Cana- adiau farmer must feed his cattle coarse grains, and house and care for them for several months in a year. Were Canadian farmers to be forced to com- pete with Texas steers? If Reformers wut that sort of thing let them vote for Mr. Grieve. Did the Canadian farmers want to see the butchering business killed by Armour, Swift, ana the big Chicago packers as the Eastern States$ market had been destroyed ? Ifthe farmers wanted that sort of thing let them vote for any of the Liberal policies. Mr. Morphy quoted from Mr. Lanrier's budget speech in which he declared emphatically for revenue tariff and declared against pro'ection. This was the policy Mr. Grieve was upholding and it meant that the Cana- dian market was to he thrown open to the farmers of the United States. Mr. of Phy attributed all honor to the judge Morphy appealed to the hearers if here was one present who desired that | ssort of thing'to stand up, but no one ex: pressed approval of such an unpatriotic policy. Mr, Morphy showed that the. policy now advocated by Mr. Laurier-- | tarifffor revenue only---was the same as that advocated by President Oleveland and which led to the greatest financial] disaster and distress in' the history of the United States. Banks failed un all hands, industries were closed down, workmen thrown out of employment, To-day for the sake of satisfying poli- tical ambition and gaining power the. Liberals were ready to bring Canada to the same conditon of commercial poverty and distress. During the fin- nancial crisis in the United States, Can- ada with her stable gevernment and in- stitutions sailed throngh the storm without a quiver and in that same year borrowed money in ~Eugland cheaper than ever before. Mr. Morphy then addressed himself to the school ques- tion, and qnoted from the speech of Mr. Grieve at the Laurier demostra- tion at Stratford in which he claimed to have voted against the Remedial Bill because he believed it in the inter- ests of the minority. What did that mean ? Was it because the bill was not sufficiently drastic, because _ state money was not to be spent for separate schools ? Mr. Grieve also said he be- lieved the Catholics labored under a great grievance. Why then did he not yote for the bill? He took good care not to express himself flatly on the floor of the House, but shirked the issue so as to leave himself free to be able to tell one story to his Catholic constituents and another to the Protes- tant electors. Mr. Grieve elaims to be against coercion, Of course he was against anything proposed by the Con- servative Government. But did any- one ever hear him say he was against sepirate schools? Let someone ask him that question when he speaks in He would not give a di- rect answer. Mr. Morphy then{quoted from Mr. Grieye's speech advocating purely secular schools, schools where the word of God is never to be seen or read, schools that would not meet with Protestants or Catholics ap- proval. Such a man was unworthy of the respect and confidence of the feo- ple. Mr. Moophy then dealt with the address of the manfacturers presented to Mr. Laurier on Tucsday and showed that while the signers of the address were willing that the flood gates ofj American corrpetition might be opened! ae on the farnier they were otha their interests will not be jeopardized by reason of the adoption of tariff le- gislation that would place an unfair ad- vantage in the hands of foreign compe- titors." Mr.. Morphy in conclusion, referred to the shabby treatment of the Germans of Logan afver the last pro- vincial election, who though: they had voted for twenty-eight years, were dragged into court because they had failed to take outnaturalization papers, The judge refused to entertain the pro- test. Those Germans who had come to Canada and earned a right to citizen- ship by hewing out homes for them- selves and building np the country were fully entitled to vote. Mr. Mor-. the village. who gave the Liberals a slap in the face and declared the friends of the Germans in Ellice should impose an- other vigorous slap on June 23. Mr. Morphy had no fear of the farmers in the present campaign and looked for a grand victory on the 23rd. Left the Patron Organization. t Thurlow, June 10.--At a meeting of Mr. Northrup's supporters, held at Spencer's school house to-night, a great surprise for the electors was in store for them, when Mr. Williams, who resides in the 2nd concession, ascended the platform and proceeded to define his position. He said he had been asked by Mr. Baleanquel to speak at that meeting in his behalf, and as he'had been doing a little canvassing in favor of the Patron candidate, he wished to say that on Saturday last he oad made up his mind to sever his connection with the Patrons. He and his father before him had always been Tories, and he was now going to work for Mr. Northrup. He then proceed- ed to read the now notorious letters of Mallory, Welch, Farrer & Co., and said that on the face of this he could see that the Patrons bad become allied with the Grit party, and he was sure that no mutter who went to Parliament, be they Tories, Grits, Patrons, McCarthyites, P. P. A.'s, when it came to a vote they would all be either Grit or Tory. In conclusion, he said he wished to undo all he had done in fuvor of Mr. Bal- cariquel, and he intended to support Mr. Northrup to the best of his ability, and he hoped that other Patrons would follow his example. He did not blame Mr. Balcanquel for the position he was place:! in, as he believed that he had been deceived,and he hoped that before nomination day he would see the Grit dodge in the same light as he did.
