The Prosperity League of Canada has made its appearance again. We have just recei_ved a'_big batch of lit- erature from it setting forth the claims of the protectionists. Its let- terhead carries a long list of names on its executive and advisory coup- cil. Most of these are prominent in manufacturing or commercial circles. As far as we can judge, not a single farmer is included. The obvious-de- duction is that the farmer is not in- terested in protection as a means of building prosperity or .,-that the 3..

Public- ation of his remarks raised a storm in the Capital, so "Mr. Nicholson tried to get from under by denying that he had made the remarks attributed to him. 'I`he_ man who reported this meeting was an experienced writer employed by the Canadian Press, a non-political organization which ga- thers news for the daily papers of Canada. Unfortunately for Mr.-'Nich- olson,. this experienced reporter had considered this particular statement of such importance that he handed to Mr. Nicholson a copy of what he had taken down, asking him-to verify it, which Mr. Nicholson did. Fur- ther proof of the accuracy of the re- port is seen in the fact that the Con- servative paper in North Bay report- ed the statement in practically the same words.
