He did well, considering the fact that he had :a poor sub- iect to defend, and we honestly believe that Mr. Miller himself is. not in sympathy with the Recipro- city znegotiations. If he is, his arguments on Saturday were cer- tainly not up to the standard of his debating powers, and his argu- ments were sadly discounted after Mr. Mieghen reviewed the differ- ent topics of his address. The whole meeting was conducted in a nice friendly way. and nothing was said or done by either parLy‘ that should cause offence to a person seeking for information. Mr. 'M’ieghan was the sin speak- er of the day, and presented hi.» views in a manner that could not fail to attract attention and com- mand respect. On rising he poin‘ ed out the tactful manner in which Mr. Miller changed his line of argu- ment from 'the preceding meeting the night before at Hanover, and proceeded to take up his arguâ€" ents. one by one. and point out the fallacy of each. As to The advocacy of Recipro-i city made by farm journals and; agricultural papers. he: did not? profess to know What they all said ; but 'took it for granted that what: Mr. Miller said was absolutely true 1 Many of the farm journals. somet of which he knew something, like! many of the farmers, formed judg- ; ments before “they understood thpi question thoroughly. and havingi taken a certain stand in regard to the Agreement. it would be} hard for them‘ to back down and} pursue another course.

He did not believe per- sonally. it would! be wise 130! :10 so, but toe argument of Mr. Mil-i Ier pointed in that direction, and,‘ to be emulate-ht, they abound fol-2 low the matter through to itsI logical CI nc-lhsion.

If it would have been a good thing during those years, why not be a good thing now. He scorned the idea of the favored nations affecting the trade in Canada. In Argentina the cheap European labor at 63c. a day he claimed to be dearer than3 our labor at $1.25 to $1.50. As’to the importation of eggs, the whole quantity imported during a year would on'lymean one and one-w eighth egg for each individual of our population, and was not wor- thy of consideration. He endeava ored to justify Mr. Paterson for retaining a duty on the biscuit industry as a manufactured pro- duct. and even undertook to argue that coal was :a manufactured ar- ticle, and Mr. Fielding was ius‘ii- fied in the‘ 45c. duty stilfl to remain on that article of commerce.

We are confident. ihowever, that the unprejudiced liso itener would find a preponderance gof argument in 'the address of Mr. EMieghan and .Mr. IMusgrove, over :the arguments advanced by Mr. Miller.

Mr. Miller mad-e considerable of a f-l-ourish on the high price quoted for malting barley in Buf- falo, and to a question from Mr. Mieghen he claimed than"; the malt- ing barley quoted in the Toronto and Buffalo markets at such wide- ly varying prices were of the same quality. The laugh was soon turned [on Mr. .Mil‘lcr when Mr. Mieghen expressed his belief that Mr. Miller was .not averse ‘to mak- ing a fortune, and figured out to him how he ‘could buy the'. barley in Toronto. ship it across the lake and make $90.000 in a single day. The fact is. 'Mr. Micghan claims the barley is not the same, and we in Canada produce very little, or non-e. of the high priced barley called for in the Buflfaalo markets. He then went on to Show, giving dates, "that when' the duty was taken off barley, Ithe prices drop- ped. ~ Another feature of Mr. Mieghan’s speech was 'the apt way in which he 'could turn up\ statis- tics ,of 'the United States and Can- ad'a 'to provehis contentions, and to destroy the arguments of his worthy and formidable antagon- is‘t. for we are willing to admit that Mr. Milleris aman. against whom it requiresastrong man to fight successfully. In this case. however, he met! more than his match. In the reciprocity question, they were playing ‘a double game. The farmers of the West asked ifor free trade in agricultural implements but 'the Government dared not to touch the manufacturers. and by giving free trade in natural re- sources, the Wesrtern farmers were led to believe they were getting the first instalment and free trade in manufactured goods would come next. But in the East, they tell a different story. Here, the manufacturer is not “go mg to be harmed. In horses. to-o. Mr. Mieghen confirmed the opinion of Mr. Mus- grove. and showed from statistics that the average. price in'Canadd was $133, and' in the States, $108.09. Now is the time to get rid of fully eflective.

He also pointed our: that by the Agreement, ethe Americans held a tariff barrier against the twelve or fifteen favored nations to whom Canada would be forced to throw her gates open.

The chair was occupied during1 the session by Rev. Mr. McCaus- land. and discussion of many sub- iects pertaining to the license law, was freely indulged in. Rev.‘ Ben. E. Spence, Secretary of the Dominion Alliance. was ready to answer all questions. and wasi chief expounder of the law, and? made clear many points over. which the members of the local‘ association had found many diffi-I culties. He pointed out that the; Chief of Police, the Constable, or; License Inspector. had full a'uthor- i .ity to search» any hotel or house'- of entertainment. without a war- rant, where it. was suspected that.‘ liquor was kept for sale, and not. only that, but it was their duty to _ do .so. Mr. Spence assured the convention that local option was all right and if failures should occur, it was not, the fault, of the law, but the fault of the officers Iwhose duty i3 is to see that the ilaw is properly enforced. In this connection, we might say that a lsevere resolution was passed? a- gainst our License Inspector. Mini Spence .spoke very emphatically 'of the determination of the Gov- {er‘nment to see the law enforced; fand gave a high) measure of; Icredit to Mr. Hanna for the .attené- f ,tion he gives toward, the enforce-’ lment of the Act in local/option ‘districts. Mr. ‘Hanna, will hot al- I {law an inefficient Inspector to con- ‘ itinue in officerif he knows it. It: )is Wrong, however, to make com-d iplaint to the head office at Toâ€"i ironto until the Inspector is first‘ Eadvised of the grievance, and an opportunity given to him to see' the aileged evil investigated. Com- ‘ lplaints to the Inspector and to. the head office should be in writâ€"f ,ing and copies kept on file so as: ito alglow no reasonable ‘grou'nd' lfor dispute. - ' The officers elected! (for the en- suing year were: President, C. Ramage, Durham; lst Vice, C. Derby, Hanover; 2nd Vice, John Gardiner. Dundalk; 3rd Vice. Rev. W. 'H. Hartley, Durham; 4th Vice Mrs. :White; Secretary, C. L. Grant. Durham: Treazs” Hugh McCrae Durham. Many subjects of importance were discussed, and the convenâ€" tion went on record in favor of or- ganizing every municipality .in the constituency, but no definite decision was arrived at regarding a local option campaign in Han- over.

Sworn to before me and subscribed in my presence, this 6th day of December A, D, 1886. Statistics proved that there were more “blind piggers” runder license than «under local option. Local option made it’ more difficult .for people to do wrong. In Owem S’d during the last year of license, there were more convictions'made against blind piggers than has since been recorded under local option. The pe-Ople were satis- fied with local option, or the large number of constituencies ready to take repeal votes wowld be more successful than they have shown themselves. 7 Mr. Spence .is a fighter, and in his address on Tuesday night, pre- sented his views in a most mas- terly way.
