It is acurse instead ;of a blessing. They pass a law to " empower one man to levy black mail : upon his neighbor at the rate of 30% , as the manufacturer does under cover ‘of the tarifl for revenve law Who ‘ is to blame for getting up this law? K. It was the Conservatives at the in- 'Stigation of' the manufaccurers, and 3 when the Reformer-3 got in the man- s ufacturers prevailed on them to Spoil 3 their good name and give in to EproteCtion. According to this. we 3 have a power at the back of the Parliament, the greatest tyrant of all. Well. revenue tax payer. what is to be done? Are we to keep on lpaying 200 million dollars a year to I the manufacturersâ€"equal 200 dollars lfor every six, or about 33 per head i for each in Canada. and to men who make no public return save to light their silver lamps for the illumination I of their Banquet Halls? In trying to find out who is to blame. let us go bnf‘k about ‘2') years and we find the Cluservatives in power. and holding the reins as tight "as they can. But at last the elo quence and power of the silver gtongued Laurier added to the blun- lderbns artillery of the great and ‘ Hon. Sir Richard Cartriglit. and with gguns of lesser calibre the Conserva ,tives were driven 06 the field. Great were the expectations of the peOple. when the Liberal.- got hold of the helm. Great things were to be done. iTariE reform was assured, and was :to be secured as well. Tarifi {or jrevenue reduced to a minimum, and gtarifl' for protection was to be wiped font. and so of bounties. bonuses. gsubsidcs and such like. And free itrade was just to hea matter of time. {But it turned out in time that tarifi reform was left unfinished, if not. ,undsne. Tariff for revenue was slightly touched. and tarifl for pro tection left as bad as ever, and free trade never came in. n.‘ _ __ â€"._â€".p~ But the grumble: said it was Pro‘ cidcnce and nor. the Grit. But the great wwe of prOSperity that did come did not satisfy the peeple They wanted justice and fair play as well Tariff for protection was no: wiped out, and is not even yet, and Government gifts were and are as common as whiskey permits in the N. West some years ago. Who is to hiame? The Tory first and then the Grit? The Tory is consisrent. He Tarifi for protection is a misnomer. It should be manufacturers’ imposi- tion, for it is not levied by law, it is simply an imposition by the mann facturers. Because he finds the tarifi for revenue at 30%. stops the cheap goods from coming in. Then he lays on this 3070 on his goods in addition to the fair price, which nddition Bu‘ as an excuse or covering for the infringement of these political standers or broken promises, the party leaders pointed to the great wave of proSDerity and good times that covered the land ha} er. where is your common sens» ?

Now let us try and analyse or diagnose these political sores and point out what each one has to pav. In Canada there are six millions of i peOple or revenue tax payers, which, i, divided into one million of houses, .will give six in each house. Then, ‘ if 200 million dollars be divided be- tween one million 0: house holders. it will give '200 dollars for each house or family of six every year. And. ; again, if 50 million dollars be dividedl' ; bet ween one million of house holders .it will give 50 dollars for each house or family of six every year, so that each house holder of six pays 200 dollars to the manufacturer’ 5 tax or imposition and be dollars to the Gov-§ ernment revenue These two indir-i .ect but yearly payments and his: township or municipal tax beside averaging :20 doliars. all come on the average revenue tax payer.

Revenue tax payer-e, you are the very men that will be held reSponsible for the clearing or clouding of our political atmosphere. Voce as free and independent men. and send free and independent men to parliament, for party men are not free. No more giving away the pee ple’s land and money by the million. Let the rater not forget that party- ism is the mother of intrigue. bribery and corruption. Now. what will you do, will you hold up your hand and vote for such, or will you send inde pendent, honeSt men to parliament with the hope of redeeming- and reatoring to us the integrity and rightful character of our country. Do you doubt what I say? Let me refer no farthur back than the Pacif- ic scandal. and then you juSt have to jump across a quarter of a century and you come to the Soo scandal. and then after that, if your memories will serve you, it is scandal after scandal that I need not repeat. Now if you confirm with your v0tes such a system as this, who is to blame? Think not that the Conservatives will be any better than the Liberals, for as the shepherd would say, "They are both tarred with the same stick.” Are there no more McKen- zies nor Thompsons to be found? Surelv, revenue tax payer and voters, you must think that honest men must be scarce. We need net go any farther than the sessional indemnity at Ottawa as a standing proof. And‘ again, a similar smearing took place 'l‘he peeple could get goods cheaper if these home manufacturers Were in Limbo. What unseen motive has the Government in nursing the man- nfacmrer so. or can it be that rte parliament and the Government have taken the manufacturer into partner- ship? If so. good bye, we will have a Walpole and New Castle adminstra- tion before long. Their partyism, oad as it is. will be left in the shade of the Triumvirate, whenhe Spreads his lurid wings, the people have to pay and the nurslings rejoice.

The manufacwrer reaps his 200 millions of an annual harvest under cover of lthe tarifl’ wall of 337° Tarifi for revenue-the Government collects this revenue tax of 30% at the cus- tom’s house or factory. and the money so collected of! the owner of the goods is added to the price of the goods, and then the eXpenses and lptnfits are added, and the buyer or consumer pave {or all. This is the1 indirect way in which the Govern ment collects its revenue tax. Now {how long are we revenue tax pay ers {to submit to that piliar of slaveryâ€" ;the tarifi wall. that judicial trap by which the people are made or ’ed to believe that the manufacturer can legally add 30?; to the price of their goods The Government can collect 30f}; revenue tax. but the manufac- turers have no such power.
