Dr. Campbell said that Miss Mac- phail had said that all either of the old parties wanted was to get into power. “And what is wrong with that?” he asked. He consid- ered that any party with a policy that they thought was for the bene- fit of the country should want to get into power. But what of the Progressives? If every Progressive candidate in the present election were elected, they would not have sufficent members to form a 80V- ernmentr Whhy elect w; 3:th Progresswes ave a they consider is for them 0ftthe The speaker referred to the var- ious policies of those sailing under the Progressive colors, quoting as an illustration the Hon. D. Car- michael in North Grey who was nominally a Progressive, but in this campaign advertised himself as _a Protectionist-Liberal. In compari- son with the Conservative policy, it was hard to say what the Pro- gressives stood for, while the Con- servatives had the one policy from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This was a policy that should appeal to all parties for it made for the pros- perity of the Canadian manufac- turer. the Canadian artisan, the Can- adian farmer and the Canadian pao~ Free Trade in his opinion was “a hoautiful theory in economics” that he thought. would not be to the liking of the Canadian worker. The standard of wages and living of the Canadian artisan was too high to ex- pect him to compete with the sweat- shop labor of the European coun- trips. and the only way in which this fompotitign could be kept out Wig by d tariff. Dr. Campbel gave a definition of Protection and Free Trade as he saw it. Protection meant the pro- tection of the Canadian mechanic and laborer as well as the manufac- turer, and also meant the protec- tion of the Canadian farmer against competition from outside sources in his home,.market. With protection Canadian industry would flourish, thereby creating a home market for the agriculturistâ€"the only market ' 4 worth while. i In rising, Dr. Campbell said that the four big issues laid down by the Premier, Hon. Mackenzie King, were: transportation, immigration, the tariff and Senate reform. Of these, he was of the opinion that with the proper tariff, immigration and transportation would largely take care of themselves. The fiscal policy of the country was traced back to Confederation and the sub~ sequent National Policy of Sir John. A. Macdmiald, a policy that had been adhered to by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Liberal Govern- ments Up to 1921, when the small majority of the Government under, Mackenzie King forced them into a! compromise with the Progressives on several occasions that had noz been for the good of the country at large. The speaker paid a tribute to Mr. King by saying that he had had a hard road to travel during the past four years and that much of the legislation passed that had proven detrimental to Canada was passedhunder pressure. The speaker thought the late Gov- ernment had paid too much atten- tion to the Progressive element in tinkering with the tariff, but gave the Hon. Mackenzie King credit for having had a hard time to keep in power with the scant majority at his command. Capital, he said, was ‘ very sensitive, and there was no use in expecting financial men to put money into enterprise with the con- tinual din of free trade and lowered tariffs in’the air. He referred to the pulpwood of this country being manufactured into the finished pro- duct in the United States when it might just as well be finished up in this counry and thereby employ more Canadian workmen. Dr. Jam- ieson. however, said that it, was not his intention to take up the time of the gathering with a discussion or the atfairs of the country but would leave that to the candidate and Hon. Mr. Martin. and without fur- ther formality called upon the can- didate. ;Hon. Dr. Jamieson. M.P.l?. for South Grey, was in the chair, and in his preliminary remarks referred to the importance of the coming election. He stated that it was quite evident that something was wrong in Canada at the present time with her youn men migrating in thou- sands to t e United States in search “or employment. He referred to the great resources of the country and thought that some action should be taken to have them developed here rather than across the line. In South-East Grey, there was no Lih- eral representative in the present contest. and he paid a tribute to the great Liberal party which, with the conservatives, had done much to de- Velop this young country into what it_was at the present time.

G. camp- bell, Conservative Standard Bearer, Also Gave Good, Bound Address and lade Excellent Impression on Voters oL Durham. The Lust for Power Dr. Campbell's Address Hon. Mr. Martin in rising paid a warm tribute to Dr. Campbell as .a man of substance, intelligence and ability. Such men, he said, were needed today by Canada to get her out of her difficulties. Conditions in Canada today were not good, he said, and were not improving The speaker said he had great faith in the people of Canada and that after the 29th of this month, he did not think there was very much doubt but that the Conservatives would be in power at Ottawa. He referred to the great change that had come over the country during the past year or so and illustrated with one example at Uxbridge when the Liberal candl- date at the last election was on the (’Jonservative platform and pledged himself to work for the interests of the Conservative candidate. He satt- ed from the platform that at the last election, he thought he was right, but had since seen his mistake. There was no room in Canada for a lower tariff if Gmada'was to prosper. She must protect her workmen and her farmers. A return to the National Policy would mean: Wider markets for farmers, wider home markets, in- crease the desire of immigrants to locate here, steady work for the ar- tisans and increased i'uiiway busi- ness. own ends. What Canada wanted was a government that would gov- ern for all classes and creeds and do its utmost for the country as a whole rather than attempt to cater to any one certain element in it. was no Government candidate in the field, and as a result, many Lib- erals who had always had the [ri- ivi'lego of exercising their franchise 'for their own party were facing a dilemma. Dr. Catnpbell appealed to them for their vote on the grounds- that it was as much up to the staunch Liberals of olden days to strike out and help to eliminate this radical element from their midst, as it was to the Conservatives. The Progressives had hampered the late Government all during the past four years and would do so again- and just ior‘the sake of gaining their A “ V!

Martin THE DURHAM CHRONICLE WW 5-3.: at Ir. 1 4 "15% Rel‘erring to what the late Gov- ernment had done for the farmer, Mr. Martin said the most noticeable thing was the decision to cut oil the grz‘mt of ten million dollars to agriculture. The Minister of Ag- riculture, Hon. Mr. Motherwell, was in favor of continuing it. but the Government said “No.” This had had quite a hearing on the recent Maritime elections where the Lil)- As a sample of what a tariff could do for the farmer, the speaker re- ferred to the Fordney-McCumber tarill‘ as a blessing to the United States farmer. In Chicago market reports. cattle. since the introduc- tion of the tariff. were quoted at double the price paid in Canada. The American farmer can sell his product in this market at, a good price and dump his surplus into the Canadian market. The Canadian farmer does not even have his own home market to himself. The taritl' reductions had wrought havoc in almost every branch of our industrial life and so acute has been the unemployment problem that im- migration to this country has been practically broken up. While one faction of the press in Canada were telling of the opening up of industry, and the apparent return to good times, the speaker asked what of the unemployment situation, if the five hundred thousand who had emi- grated to the United States should suddenly return looking l'or work? The empty houses in Toronto and other cities were a monument as to what tarill' reduction could do. The speaker drew a laugh from the crowd when he stated that there was certainly one benefit derived from the lowered tariff. It, had most successfully solved the housing problem. In Brantford alone over five thousand of the population had left in search of employment else- Referring again to the textile in- dustry, the speaker stated that we in Canada do not, even make all our own hosiery. Over one million pairs per month are imported into this country, which could just as well lmanufactu-re them in her own fac- Iteries and keep the money at home. tions amongst labor men as exist- ing between Canada and the United States. The labor unions are mostly international affairs. and the same rates of wages prevail mostly in un- ion cantres. A protective tarin‘ would prohibit the United States from dumping her surplus on the Cana- dian market to the detriment. of Canadian industry. He referred to the scale of wages and the standard of living in Canada as compared with some European countries he' had visited. In England the average wage was less than one-half that of: Canada; in France, it was less than one-third. When it, is considered that _in a manufactured article, ap- proximately 75 per cent of its cost goes for wages, Mr. Martin thought it shouldn’t take much figuring to show that the Canadian artisan and manufacturer should be protected.

Saginaw and Bay City, Mich., were built from the industries en- gaged in cutting Canadian sawlogs in days gone by, and at the present time, the same thing was being done. with om- pulpwood. Over seven and a half million dollars’ worth of Can- adian asbestos, of which we control the world’s supply, was shipped out of this country annually in the raw state to be manufactured in New Jersey and reshipped back to Can- ada as a finished )roduct at a big advance in price. xport duties on these natural products would insure the establishment. of mauufactories in Canada and employ Canadian for Canadian farmers. The cepper and nickle industries, of which Canada controls largely the world‘s supply of raw material. were the same. grow. has a duty per bushel of 42 cents. But the United States Gov- ernment. while it protects the home market. remits the duty on wheat imilled for export. and as a result. United States mills are making flour in competition with Canadian mills â€"and using Canadian No. 1 Northern wheat to do it. In two years’ time,‘ an increased milling capacity of H.- 000 barrels daily was reported from Buffalo, N.Y., while in the same period. Ontario shows a reduced milling capacity of 10,000 barrels. In addition to this, 30 mills in this province have gone out of business. Canadian No. 1 Northern hard wheat, a wheat which only one country besides Canada, Russia, can Ir.

'mough there was an anti-dumping law in force at Ot- tawa, it was not enforced. The farmers, Mr. Martin said. were not asking for a tarifi‘ on oranges, lem- ons or any tropical fruits. but did want some” protection on the natur- al products on their own market. Reference was made to the duties charged by both Canada and the United States for the shipment of natural products across the border. but one illustration will suffice. The counties of Kent and Essex are great producers of beans. To get these into the United States. a duty of $1.05 per bushel must be paid. The United States grower can shlp them into Canada by paying a duty of 25 cents a bushel. What is there fair about that? In the speaker's opinion, the duties should be the same in both countries. oral Governments had all been de- sum mower.
