By the hour for opening proceedings there was .searcely an available seat in the large building, even the aisles and oor at the hack ofthe hall being taken up. The audience presently began to manifest l impatience, and the announcement was then made by the chairman, Mr. VVm.

L- vulvl. vv no Luvs uuuvuuo Mr. Rine nally rose and began to ' "speak. He is a man of middle age, but his close-shavan face, and lithe, active bearing and general presence make him I appear younger. His features are sharp, 1 eyes bold and penetrating, yet often ex- ` hibiting a humorous twinkle, mouth rm and forehead well developed, though .shaded slightly by long straight hair 4 combed back behind the years. His fea- V tures altogether stamp him as being a man of streng nature, sharp faculties,` and powerful will, and his hearing is quite in conformity with the impression ~ his face creates. Mr. Rine was not long in launching. out into the real work of '_ his mission He is, while not a- ue;.t, , elegant or strictly rened speaker, one ` _- Whose ca.refully-and at times powerful- ' ly and e1cquently-de1ivercd utterances hate a singular attraction about them, > new amusing, new interesting, new , electrifying, and at no time failing to ? preserve the attention of the listener. 1 Mr. Rine speaks direct to his audience, using no threadbare statistics about the , -`appalling extent of liquor consumed and the amount of crime and misery ` which follows in the wake of King . Alcoholf , He paintsa powerful picture of the inebriate, and by way of contrast he describes what that same inebriate . under other circumstances might be ,` And, let it be remembered, his illustra- . fl tions are drawn from real life, and chief- " ly from passages in his own experience or that of some one of those whom he s. has been instrumental in reclaiming.` - He appeals to the reason of his hearers, to their sympathies, and even to their ' `regard for self-interest; he uses plain language, lays down the issue in plain aspect; he pities the victim" `of strong drink, tells him he has come to stretch out to him a helping hand; he treats him as a man, no matter how degraded he may have fallen, and he urges him to come up and sign and say G041 helpinghim, he will quit drink. Mr. Rine's success, lies no less in his earnest, though abrupt and rather demonstrative style of address, - than in the sincere, hearty, wholesouled 9 way in which he identies himself with t those among whom he labors. l Tnxvnardi-ufolxi 0+` flu) ' nlnun n4` lli `Ad . l l.IU.UU1`lHlUllg WUUIU IIU l$UUl .Immedi-utely at the `close of his ad'- dre~s he cordially invited all to come up ` and sign, and the invitation was quickly H-accepted.

At the close of the meeting _ 435 had taken the pledge Tuesday evening the hall was again densely packed and the number of -signers had reached 1200; last night there was an- other jam, and the names totted up .l600; this morning some 300 or 400 signed, making in all about 2000. Mr. Rine was conducted in procession to the station, where he took a. farewell of his small army of followers. The interest and excitement created in town is abso5 lntely _l1np!`C'CCCl nted.

He commiserated that gentle man onfhis painful position. He" was ql surprised to nd him laying claim to prophetic accuracy, his gloomy forebod- ings having been by no means lled. In tc his first Budget speech, he sa.id_._,if the bl House -would "give him three millions additional taxation" it would suice for 0,. all his necessities. The House gave him W the money, but in the session of 1877' he had to announce a decit of nearly two millions and asked for more taxa- tion. This decithe stated was due to abnormal circumstances, and would not occur again. But it did occur again s} and notwithstanding an additional taxa oi tion of ve hundred thousand dollars, he sl nnw announced a further decit of near ly a million and a half. -At the close of his last. year s speech, he declared we 2 "were getting near clear water, and ex- :1] pressed the hope that this year he would be able to announce a surplus instead of V ii. decit. VVhere were his prophecies W now? Tu 1876, he dwelt upon the evils 11 which would have owed from the deli 0 cits which must have occurred if he had , not imposed fresh taxation in 1874. He . O< - did not seem to hold the same opinion 1( aboutdecits now, because he proposed U no measure to avert a recurrence of what had occurred for the two years in succes- W sion. \Vhat reason had he to believe 5 that the next scal year would be bet- ter than the last? No one 1lC(1l1l).l.lltt`.tl o with the trade and commerce of the country had the least idea that it would be. . All our industries were in distress and were likelyito continue so, yet the Finance Minister had not the rst ]):n`- : ticle of relief to offer. Practically, the . , circumstances considered, the policy of l` the late Government was protective, but ! that policy ceased when the present Ad- , ministration came into power. Depres- , , sion camegin with them, and had re- mained with us ever since. He re- ferred to the various ways in which . protection was given to our industries by 1 the late Government. He denied that t, , the additional 2,15 per cent added to the f, tariff by the Government was any pro- tection to our manufacturers, owing to the change in the labor market of the United State3,'and that many articles; entering into our manufactures were` taken from the free list and taxed. They _l had degtroyad sugar rening and driven 5 the tea. trade to New York and Boston.,i t The Finauce.Mini'stcr had squarely laid V down the issue on which the approach 1` ing election was to be fought.. He ac- 1 l eepted the challenge and was glad to know that the struggle was not to be i long deferred. The Government said 9 they could not do anything [to relieve l the presentdistress by legislation. Out l v of their Finance Minister's own mouth, : y the legislation of last year with reference - to coal oil forced upon the Government 1 , _by.the Opposition had saved the people ( l ( l( 1 F 3 7 r l ,. l two millions of dollars. \Vas there not 1 evidence in this that some good mightl . result from an Act of Parliament? The : 7'. policy of the great Liberal-Conservative' A - party was declared in resolutions to be 1 found on the iournals of the House, and l. V V in those adopted by the Opposition con- 1 l l- vention which lately ' assembled in Tel ,` C ronto. It was not a policy of high tax- '- ation, as ll:).(l. been stated by the Finance l 1" Minister. It was a policy which would I} so impose needed taxation as to foster s our industries and increase the popula- 1 tion of the country. Passing on to the I Public Accounts, the Finance Minister 1 ! admitted that coming into `power at a time when the Government ought to 0 have exercised the greater economy, they ; '- in their rst year spent $396,735 r_nore , ?- than the sum put down to their prede- J l; cessors for 1873-4; next year, _>3l_,l3'2,- 1 fi 056; the following year, 202,985, or in ; ` fall, $1,731,796 more than the average of I 9 expenditure by the_ old Government, re 3` presented by the exceptional year 1873 l ; -1. But, as a comparative statement, the l Public Accounts were misleading. for a - million of dollars wt-re improperly charged to the year 1873 4 Over half - a. million spent on the Intercolonial mi`- road in that year, properly chargeable to Capital, wasrcharged to Revenue. Then there was a sum of $400,000 charged to the Dawson route. This was just enough in itself, but as for forming a basis for comparison with other years was entire- ly unjust. In the same category must be placed the $69,000 of Customs refund to the G. W. railway. He might take T other large items of expenditure in that ' year, but he would leave them to balance . what might be called exceptional items "1 subsequent years. The fair expendi ture of 1873-4: was $22,294,493. In three years the present Government had spent -$4,700,000 more than this annual average. He commented upon the large increase made in the collection of Cus- . toms and Excise at a time when the revenue had greatly fallen off. ' It` had actually cost the country $18,000 paid fortemporary services in the Montreal Custom House to prevent Mr. Thomas" White coming into Parliament for Mon- treal West. He also pointed out the increases which had taken place in other departments. ' In the matter of super- - annuations thelaw. he said had been grossly abused, menhaving been reliev- ed from the public servicein the vigour V -of," life, so yigorousfthat the-Government ` hadnowia bill before tube.
