Of course, a provincial election is one thing and a Dominion election is another; and a party that could win an election in a province may be badly defeated in a Dominion contest, because provincial elections are won or lost on local issues, while Dominion elections are generally fought out on na- tional questions. _ The success ot the farmer inces to convert their busines as a new broom always sweel The issue in the coming Dominion election', in all probability, will be the tariff policy-the Toronto 'Globe' and other papers of that ilk, may try to claim that the Government is trying to make the tariff an issue, but as a matter of fact, the Toronto 'Globe' itself, and the farmers of the West," made the issue long ago when they declared tor tree trade. Now that the election is on and the Toronto 'Globe' sees that the cry ot 'tree trade' will drive to the Government, many strong Liberals, it is trying to swallow itself and to make it appear that it is not in favor of free trade, but rather in favor of a revision ot the tariff downwards. The Premier, Sir William Hearst, decided to go to.the country' on pro- hibition and his own party deserted him and instead of swinging over to the Liberals, who also had announced. themselves in favor of! prohibition, they swung to the United Farmers of Ontario, and the consequences was that the United Farmers ot Ontario were carried to victory by political voters. The farmers, 'of the West, however, make no bones of coming right out and declaring point blank' tor free trade--and when we see such men as Crerar, Wood, oMrrison and Drury leading the farmer element, we may know that their intention is nothing but out and out free trade. McKenzie King, the leader ot the out and out Liberals, is on the tence--- he is neither.tish, fowl nor good salt pork-it he was talking to the farmers of the West and had any hope of securing their votgs, he would be a worse tre trader than Drury, who is the most hide-boun free trader in Canada to-day. .rt he was talking to an audiem mighty well and never mention fre facturers ot Quebec, he would takt Toronto.

The duty of the Liberals and Conservatives is very plain-they have within themselves the power to save Canada at the present time by support- ing a safe and sane policy. It is the duty of the Liberals. and Conservativces to unite and to elect sufficient supporters of the Government to protect Canada against the class legislation of "a lot of foolish, but would-be politicians. but when he saw the serted the Union Gove move.ment, hoping to is a time server. Canada is not a thing that is in existence to-day and will be out of existence in ten years-it is an existant fact now and for all time---but the class movement that is now surging over the country' and engaging the at- tention of the people will be a thing of the past in a few years and it is the duty of the Liberals and Conservatives who are true to their country to see that this class movement does as little harm as possible while it is on the Wing. . In every county the Conservatives and Liberals should unite to elect one man who is in favor ot a safe and sane and stable tariff .policy and thus offset the fool movement towards class legislation but when he It is up to the sensible maintain, tor them, their S] has built up in the province The 'Globe' WY power-Alle student provinpe--it is a I the circumstances 1 swung into the Li' leader pt the power be a Conservative it Mia-20m It is up to th maintain for then 1S And not only that-but the products ot the West find an enormous mar- ket amongst the manufacturing centres ot the East-destroy those manu- facturing industries, send their skilled workmen to the United States to work, and a great part of the West's market is destroyed, and her railways will become bankrupt. - One would imagine, to hear the talk and arguments put forward by the Western farmers, that the West was the only place in Canada-when, as a matter of tact, there never would have been a West, except one occupied by Indiansa nd buffalo, had it not been for the East that supplied the men, the money and the brains to build up the West, and to build the railways into and through it. . It the Government is composed of free trader farmers from the West, and the Mrestern farmers receive their implements-tree ot duty, from the United States, it means the destruction not only of the manufacturers of the East, but of the railways which were built tor the benefit of the West and were used to carry the manufactured goods to the West and to carry the products of the West to the East and to the sea board.

The statement ot the manager of the Massey-Harris Company, in To- ronto, puts this very e1ear1y----if the tariff is lowered and United States im- plements are allowed to come into Canada free of duty, then the place for the Massey-Harris Company to make its' farm implements is not in Toronto, but in Milwaukee, St. Paul or Chicago. Manufacturers who have been making goods under stable and reliable tariff conditions, view, with anxiety, the tree trade campaign which has been carried on by the wild agitators, seeking office on any old excuse, and these manufacturers certainly are curtailing their operations until they know for certain whether the present tariff is to be tampered with or not. A friend in need leaves you broke Coming events cast their shadows before them-and the campaign for free trade which has been under way for nearly two years, led by the hide- bound free traders of the East and the farmers in the West, is the shadow of uncertainty and doubt which has to a great extent, brought about the de- pression and the state ot unemployment now present in our cities. The coming Dominion election will be a testing time in Canada-in fact, it may be a turning point from the prosperity and stability of the past many years, to a period of doubt and uncertainity which will be most disastrous to business. _-. modities man Ind my prediction in not make a too rer ', is the duty ot the people of Ct natipnal policy, rather than on arar, the leader ot the farmers of th nion-Liberal and was a member ot en he saw the class, wave which w 'se-be Penned and Scissored castle is his home still as THE INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY, ONTARIO the Maritime Province people wish to buy and have not '. .3 urther” an Miitt modern tses to count on Quebec to bring the Liberal t of Quebec well knows that Quebec ts not National-Conservative province, and it was OI pt Sir Wilfrid Laurier, being a Liberal, that 1 iberal column-had the men ot Quebec a C r of magnetism of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
