Trade and commerce are always exceedingly susceptible to outside in fluences. _ This is amply demonstrated by the _ marvellous development brought about by the improyed condiâ€" tionsgwhich followed the change of Government in 1896, and in as much as theonly definite policy which Sir Charles Tupper has so tar gmnounced apparen days. ° on behalt ot hts party comprmses a comâ€" plete reversal ot the changes which brought about the improved conditions, the inexcusable folly of taking any chances is most apparent. Truly it will be the part or wisdom not to stop the growing time. A most striking cireumstance in the present eleetion campaign which has been absent from previous contests for many years is the exceedingly small disturbance to business, and the per feet contentment and confidenco with which the country at large views the sitaation. The old neryous anxiety which not onlyv accompazried every A M presen been a many every down Superhuman efforts are being made by the Tories to manufacture political capital for a lost cause out of the adâ€" dress of Mr. John Charlton to his conâ€" stituents. There is nothing new howâ€" ever in the incident of a Liberal statesâ€" man, and particularly one of the calibre of Mr Chariton, holding strong personal and independent views and fearlessly giving expression to them. Such independence is the strength of Liberalism, and the very fact that while Mr Charlton does not blindly and servilely endorse every action of the Government he is prepared at the same time to give it a warm and strong support on general principles, is the most convincing evidence that it is a safe Government and one that can be relied upon to administer the affairs otf the country honestly and well. Such support from men like John Charlton is an invaluable certificate of character to any Government th to prove it, tor I am not disloyal, never was. and never will be. _ My opponents bayve published a pamphlet, fall of lies, purporting to be reports of various desloyal speeches made by me while in France. They are most anblushing falsehoods. The Canadian public man who would go to a foreign country, who would utter disloyal words, would be a traitor. That man is not myself. ‘‘They say that 1 they do not prove it to prove it, tor I am n 18 The traitors to her Majesty Queen Vietoria, and to the British flag, which floats oyer us and grants us all our liberties, are those whe try to set the various races in this country against one another. T am addressing a mixed meeting, and the English electors can judge by the way my words are reâ€" ceived by the Frenchâ€"Canadians in this meeting how far I express their views. Iam a Frenchâ€"Canadiansâ€" I would be nothing else. _ My father was a Frenchâ€"Canadian, my mother a Frenchwoman. That was an acâ€" cidert of birth, and I could not help it. And I was born under the Union Jack â€"yes, and I live ander it, and enjoy and appreciate the liberties it repreâ€" sents. I am a loval subject of her Majesty the Queen. I deserve no special credit for that. Why should we not be loyal? Are we not happy? I have just returned from Paris, where I had the opportanity of studying at close range some fortyâ€"two different. nations and their forms of government. And I found that no form of governâ€" ment was so satisfactory as ours; that no people were so free, and had so much reason to be bappy and contentâ€" ed, as have we in this (ganaduf of ours We are Freuchâ€"Canadians, but we are British subjects: yes, and loyal and devoted subjects of her beloved Majesty Queen Victoria." The Conservatiye meeting held here on Tuesday of last week was addressâ€" ed by Mr. Geo. Binnie in the interest of Dr. Landerkin, as well as by Mr. Calder, as we noted last week. Mr. Binnie bad to take the unusual course of opening a Conservative. meeting, but .Mr. Richardson insisted on it $her being no other speakers there at the ..... My traducers say that I tried to sell this country to France, and that if I did not deliver the goods it was not my fault. Just as it I and the Frenchâ€" Canadians are so lost to a sense of honor and all sense of seltâ€"interest as to wish to transfer our allegiance from Britain to France! Where is the fool in my race who would for a moment wish to be ruled by France, and under the sysiems which preyvail in France? THE SRENGTH Of LIBERAUSM peakin NO DISTURBING INFLUENGES. ning.

Park of Grand Valley. Mr. Park is a practical farmer of great natural abiliâ€" ity who is on this cccasion heartily supporting his late opponent Mr. Jas. McMullen. ‘What are we patrons to do," he asks, "When we were wiped off the face of the earth were we to remain home as blocks?‘ and he proceeded to give reasons why he decided, after tull consideration, to cast his efforts and his support with the administraâ€" as an obstructive Senate would permit Dr. Landerkin‘s extensive parliamenâ€" tary experience enables him to speak with authority and with case on pubâ€" lic questions. & T He then went into public questions treating them in detail, and showing how the pledges of the party in opposiâ€" tion had been carried out as faithtully He scouted the idea that the present good times were all due to Pravldence. Farmers could improve on Providence, and did it every day. He spoke reverently, but reminded them that Providence helped those who helped themselves, and farmers especially would be to blame if they did not help themselves to the present government, which had done more for them in 4 years than the previous government had done in 18. Mr. Park had read the Literature of both sides, but had found the Cenâ€" servative literature so permeated with hatred to Laurier and Tarte, that their position on national problems was obâ€" scured. HMe spoke from their literaâ€" ture and showed untairness and downâ€" right fraud in some of it. Especially was this so in the matter of superannuation. Quoting the Libâ€" eral promise to abolish it. they show that more was paid in 1899 than in 1896, »nd blandly claim the promise broken. They fail to make clear that not one cent of the amount is due to Liberal additions, but is simply payâ€" ments to former Conservative giantees, more and more of whom will come on the list for some time. The governâ€" On Wednesday night Dr. Landerkin had his say. The I'\ll was about filled with an audience larger than the preceding night and comprising a number of ladies. Mr. John Graham was made chairman and rousing speeches were made in turn by the Dr., Mr. Somerville, Dundas, and Mr. Jas. Park. Patron candidate in North Wellington at the last election. The Dr. was in splendid form and madea long and telling speech. He began by peinting out the unfairness of his opponent in reading only the telegram he sent to the Dr. re union meetings, without makinfilteterence to the Dr.‘s reply thereto. He scathingâ€" ly resented the insinuation that he was afraid to meet Mr. Richardson on the platform. The excellent record of the government rendered it an easy ask to defend it against such men as Mr. Richardson. tion which had come nearest to patron ideals. the latter rousing Mr. Richardson‘s ire over the ‘"Bear not Liquor" question as we noted last week. ments to former Conservative giantees, more and more of whom will come on the list for some time. The governâ€" ment must keep faith with these, but since the passing of the Act abolishing the practice no employee has the slightest claim to one cent. i Mr. Mulock and his postage reforms, Mr. Fisher, the practical Minister of Agriculture, with the many advantaâ€" ges he has secured tothe farmer were passed in review, and Mr. Park carâ€" ried conviction with him as he asked "what had Proviaence to do with the extra millions secured to Canadian farmers through government action in cold storage.‘" He appealed to his brother farmers to support Dr. Landerâ€" kin. who supported this government. Mr. Somerville had been amused at the idea of the Italian bands. He entered into an examination of the fiscal policies of the two parties makâ€" ing the oft quoted point that the Liberal policy had in view revenue purposes unly, the other protective purposes. _ Having been a sufferer himself on account of the gerrymander he pointed out some of the iniquities of the act, which had been condemned by*their own friends,. The cutting and carving @f the eonstituencies, had resulted in such shapes as to giye rise to Rymal,s joke. As he displayed a diagram of a county in the Honse, he said it was no sin to worship it as an idol, for it was like nothing in heaven or earth nor in the waters undernea th. | Everyone must admit the N. P. stimulated industries, but with the certain effect that overâ€"production reâ€" sulted, with eorresponding depression. A comparison of the men «t the head of both parties must lead all intelliâ€" gent men to vote for the Liberal canâ€" didates. There was still the nest of traitors who were ready to knife each other, [Proved since by Bowell and Haggart at at Carlton Place. â€"Ed.] "I believe in" said Mr. 8. ‘"and I am going to keep believing in the loyalty and usefulness of Mr Tarte, notwithâ€" standing all the vile things said about him by the Tories." He then deâ€" scribed at length the scandalous tranâ€" sactions of the Tory party which had led Mr Tarte to denounce his former associate» and ultimately leave them. He sooke at great length, but with such a fine mixture of humor that the audience did not weary. Having sat so long with the Doctor in Parliament he could testify to his ability and to the regard in which he was held b‘y all parties. As chairman of one of the chief committees his work had been valuable, and Mr Somerville earnestly hoped South Grey would not deprive themselves nor the country of the doctor‘s services in parliament by alâ€" lowing a supporter of Tupper to be elected. With cheers fonhlrmeon. the canâ€" ‘didate, and fSir W Laurier, the broke up. A Sir Mackenzie Bowell was "saying things" the other day at Carltuon Place. The occasion was the opening of the campaign for Mr Preston who is the opponent of Mr Jno Haggart of "Nest ot Traitors‘® fame and a prominent "leader" of the party of which Sir Chas Tupper is chief. What a spectacle for the country ! the Conservative leader in the Senate opposing the candidate the Conservaâ€" tive leader in the Commons supports ! Will South Grey electors vote for the candidate of such a party ? ’ Mr. Haggart was present and made l ; a speech. He read a telegram from| Sir Chas. in which hbe "wished him ; success." 'g We give an extract from his speech : amongst the ‘"one or two others" names held in contempt we may easily include Sir Chas Tapper« * Nothing in the world would induce me, so long as 1 haye any selfâ€"respect, to be found on the same platform with this man and others I would name T‘; were they here, advocating the same‘ ' cause as they. I have risen from the leay printer‘s devil, old fool as they my‘f‘;f"i' that I am, to the highest position , | absi and I have not sought any of these posiâ€"| If tions. Iam not, then, evidently the‘;'l‘:i“n‘ stupid old idiot that these gentlemen j acte have represented me. There is no name ‘ :r)?n?f that is held in greater contempt bylw(,'u western Ontario than the names of Hon. ' elec John Haggart and one two others. Such t h.:£' names are as a wet blanket to the| can enthusiasm of the Conservatives of Torâ€" | use onto and the west. Whether I ever i'(','g used the expression ‘‘The Nest of Traitâ€" | mee ors" or not is immaterial, for I certainly :"':)';)' should haye used it.

R. had wrongâ€" fully been given upon the immense country west of Winnipeg. The pushing forward in a businesslike way to completion of a fourteen foot canal waterway from the great lakes to the seabourd, making possible the big Gevelopments now under way at Montâ€" real and Port Colborne, -I:h; establishment of a mint where Canadian gold can be made into Canâ€" adian coin. es The listing of Canadian securities in Great Britain. The building of the Crow‘s Net Pass Railway, which, although misrepresenâ€" ted and given an evil name ti=ough attacks long persisted in, is a heon to the W est, and, apart from its own useâ€" fulness was used as a leyer to pry open Penny postage within the Empire and a domestic postal rate of two cents, yet a $600.000 annual postal deficit already reduced to the vanishing point. Putting of the Intercolonial Railway on such a new basis that it yields a surâ€" plus instead of the deficit that was supâ€" posed to be inseparable from its existâ€" ence. The list might he extended to some length but these are significant, and influential achievements that are sufâ€" ficent tostamp the past four years as the most progressive we have ever had. The establishment of a successful system of cold storage on the Atlantic whereby the most delicate fruits and foodstuffs can be carried in fine order to England in midsummer. â€" Much credit, deserved or not, as one may choose to think, has been giyen the Conservative party for building the (')-:-P‘.v il. ‘but that effort seems to have exhausted the creative powers of the party and for years after its leaders sat 7 a Aeek 1. emee‘ "OAAOmon S79% Aal, The abrogation of Belgian treaties.

Yet Time was creeping up to tell against them the full story of the cost at which they built the roadâ€" cost in lands extensive enough to form a kingdom, and cost in the laborious I'and unrewarded lives of settlers from the old provinces and all lands who ‘enbeled the West to establish homes, | but found themselves the victims of an ironâ€"clad monopoly that hedged them about at every turn. The cost in cash was great enoughâ€" so great that ‘ toâ€"day there is scarcely a millionaire in Canada who did not lay the secure basis | of his fortune while he hovered about the wasteful scene of operations conâ€" nected with building that national high way. The road is a fine thing and made much possible that, since its conâ€" | struction, we can congratulate ourselves ’upcin, but the colossal cost of it, the ]hlind waste of rights of the coming multitudes who should penfile the West, | begins to loom up bigger than anything { else connected with the road. It is | coming to be recognized that the blundâ€" |ering was vaster than the undertaking. The last speaker at a public meeting has, of course, a great advantage as he | can make any denials or statements or | use any illogical arguments he chooses and no one has an opportunity to deny, contradict or explain. Then, with joint meetings, at the end of the campaign each candidate would have had a fair opportunity to have stated his case to one balf of the electors in the Riding while to the other half he would not. As it is, with each holding his own meetings, each candidate has an opporâ€" tunity to present his views and arguâ€" ments to all the electors in every part of the Riding which is far better, Alâ€" \ though Dr. Landerkin inyited opposiâ€" tion to all his meetings we observe that neither Mr. Richardson, nor Mr. Lucas, nor Dr. Jamieson nor Mr. Laidlaw nor any other of Mr. Richardson‘s speakers |hayve ever appeared at any of them. Why ? Mr. Richardson endeayors to leave the impression that Dr. Landerkin refused to arrange for jont meetings and that he was afraid to do soâ€"How absurd. If Dr. Landerkin did refuse to arâ€" range by any hard and fast bargain for joint meetings we certainly think he acted wisely. Certainly such an arâ€" rangement would have been as fair to one candidate as to another but it would not hayve been satisfactory to the electors. The last speaker at a public meeting Good reports we hcar trom Drewry‘s 8. Egremont, from Ayton, from Priceâ€" ville, from Neustadt. A Dromore corâ€" respondent writes enthusiastically of the eagerness of the young men tgere. another from Glenelg points with deâ€" light to father and sons voting together w%o were segmted at last election. From Bentinck comes the same story coupled with assurauces of the support of tginkina Conserva.:'iges. who do not fail to contrast 1896 and 1900 as to the condition of the farmer. The Liberals haye csfiwrod the hearts of the country and will get the votes Messrs Jno, McKechnie and C. Ramâ€" age drove out here last Thursday afterâ€" noon and the experience they had was that the Dr. has more fmends then ever, They would dearly like to see and hear him amongst them, which wish the Dr reciprocates, but it is not easy to yisit all points. About 30 turned out to the evyening meeting, nearly all being the Dr‘s friends. Aud so it goes : the swing of Victory is in the air, Conservatives there are who will vote Richardson of. course yet will shed no tears over his defeat. Messrs Gilbert McKechnie and Jas. A.

Some informal questions and answers took Vlluco- at the close of the address and the counflany ended up with a few songs.
