of their hands the great weapon of striking.\u201d If the royal commission were accepted the Chancellor said, its members would be appointed Saturday and its sittings would begin Monday.He emphasized the importance of exercising great patience and restraint in this critical moment, and hoped it would be proper to conduct negotiations without any exasperating intervention from any quarter.Ramesy Macdonald, replying to the Chancellor, said there evidently had been a misunderstanding as to the proposal and he would not press his motion of censure.He appealed to the members of the House having influence with the railway directors to persuade them to make it easier for the men to accept a truce.Philip Snowden, another laborite member, asked if the Government was prepared to go the length of calling an extra session of Parliament to deal with the- commission's recommendations.To this Mr.Lloyd George replied : \u201cIf they involve a question on which the peace of the ocuntry depends and must be dealt with without delay, 1 cannot imagine that anybody would object to Parliament being summoned, whatever the inconvenience might be.\u201d Sir Wm.R.Anson, speaking for the Opposition, said his party would be willing to reassemble Parliament in case it were necessary.Officers and men who were on fur- fough have been recalled to their regiments by telegraph.The artillerymen have been taken from their gun drill and are devoting their attention to their rifles with a view of strike possibilities.The parks of London are being made ready for encampraents.It is probable that bluejackets will be drafted to equip the electric power stations at Liverpool and they will also be required to protect the ships in the harbors upon which there have been many small fires supposed to be of incendiary origin.The authorities regarded the action of the strikers in calling out the men from the power Loures at Liverpool as one of the gravest features of the day.All the horses of the army have had their shoes sharpened in prepars- tion for service in the streets.Cayugs, Ont, Aug.17.\u2014=The Conservative convention to-day nominated Mr.F.B.Lalor, the late member.The meeting was

Diamon 3 Merchants 16 Fabrique Street, Quebec Éhe Quebec hranicle FRIDAY, AUGUST 18 1911 * 8/R WILFRID IN QUEBEC.It was a significant\u2019 fact that the name of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, which is usually enough to awaken a tre- meadous ovation at a Quebec meeting, was passed in silence a number of times in the course of the speeches.\u201d -\u2014 Staff Correspondence, Ottawa Free Press, Liberal.Today\u2019 Sir Wilfrid will see his electors of Quebec and it may be asserted that he comes under conditions that are very changed from those that attended his previous visits.The situation in the Province is gloomy enough for the Liberal party and some of the Liberal organs in other citiés at last admit that Sir Wilfrid's power is waning and his personality no longer stimulates the same enthusiasm.There will, we know, be a brave attempt on the part of the Liberals organisers and their claqueurs to drum up a semblance of \u201cspontaneous\u201d warmth in the reception to the member for Quebec Fast and there will be\u2019 the usual scenery, the fulsome mottoes, the same hackneyed emotional appeals, the same histronic pos- ings, the same old stage effects, But the number of those who are still fiable to be deceived by these tricks and tinsel is diminishing rapidly and there are signs of revolt on every side.cess Sir Wifrid, when he was last here, made the mistake of ignoring St.Roch.That was nothing new, but his electors in that district were aggrieved about it.Then it was noticed that there were no English Liberals of prominence at the ceremony on the Terrace and that also created dissatisfaction in the city.Severs] gentlemen who had helped the Premier with financial aid and encouragement when he came here disheartened after a crushing defeat in his early career are far from being content with his subsequent neglect.There is no denying the fact that wherever one goes one hears Liberals saying that they liked and believed in Laurier at one time, but they cannot vote for him now.He has changed they say.We have been faithful to him all these years, and he has done nothing for Quebec.Why should only the Taschereaus, the Langeliers, the Lalibertes, the Lemieuxa and a few others be contintously favored, and| everyone else be despised?© Let Sir Wilfrid give an aecount of his stewardship, say these men.Why is it impossible for Quebec to have a dry dock?Why were we cheated out of accommodation for electric railways and driveways on the new Quebec Bridge in defiance of the regulations?Why is it impossible to alter our Harbour Commission as we wish?Why it is that the Battlefields Commission has not started work during these last three years?Why is it that the Liberal members of Quebec are continually trying to deceive and cajole her out of her rights, instead of working for her advancement?It is hard work for the people of Quebec to take Sir Wilfrid's advice to follow his white plumes with any seriousness.They are too near Sorel for that.They remember the revelations of the Marine Department They have even\u2014such is that gentleman's fame\u2014heard of the notorious Mr.Pugsley.They also know something about Transcontinental scan- dala and have heard whispers of Printing Bureau investigations, Indian reserve robberies, Chinese immigration rake-offs, Oliver bank accounts and many other things.Nor do they {ail to scent another ugly and malodorous scandal in the Girard case.Tt is an uphill fight that Sie Wilfrid is fighting this time.He is losing honor in his own country.TREMBLAY'S TESTIMONIALS.Some time ago, when Quebec was ooking for a fire chief, and the name of Marin of Montreal was mentioned, Chief Tremblay of that city strongly recommended his deputy chief as being an ideal man in every respect for the post, and, if we are not mistaken, said that anything that came out against him during the investigation of the Royal Commission should not be considered too seriously.Now a dispute has broken out between the two men.Marin accuses Tremblay of having used \u2018city firemen to construct à motor for his yacht, and of having also smployed men of his brigade to work on his summer house.Naturally Tremblay is somewhat incensed and he now gives Marin a very different kind of testimonial.The Gazette reports him as saying :\u2014 \"You can say this about District Chief Marin, he will go or I will go.1 have lost confidence in the man, and his record before the Royal Commission and his lack of discipline in the brigade is such that he is not entitled ta hold the position he oceu- pies.From what

during which it has been my privilege and my fortune to be placed at the head of affairs, dy the will of \u2018the Canadian people, that the best and most effective way to maintain friendship with our American neighbors is to be absolutely independent of them.\u2019 \u201cIn 1907 at the Imperial Conference, \u201cIf we are to follaw the laws of nature and geography between Canada and the United States, the whole trade would flow from south to north, and from north to south.We have done everything possible by building canals and subsidizing railways to bring the Wilfrid said: parliament be called upon to assent to such a policy as is here indicated?We ask parliament to astent to this policy because we believe, nay, we feel certain beyand » doubt, that in do doing we give voice and expression to « sentiment, às à latent but deep sentiment, which is to-day in the mind and still more in the heart of every Canadian, that a railway to extend from the shores af the Atlantic ocean to the shores of the Pacific ocean, and to be every inch of it on Canadian soil, is a national as well as a commercial necessity.We consider that it is the duty of all those who sit within these walls by the will of the people to provide immediate means whereby the products of those new settlers may find an exit to the ocesn at the least possible cost, and whereby, likewire, a market may be found in this new region for those who toil in the forests, in the fields, in the mines, in the shops of the older provinces.Such is our duty, It is immediate and imperative.It is not of to-morrow, but of this day, of this hour and of this minute.Heaven grant that it be not already too late.Heaven grant that while we tarry and dispute the trade of Canada is not deviated to other channels, and that our ever-vigilant competitor does not take to himself those who acknowledge Canada as their native or adopted land.\u201d Why this fervent appeal to heaven to protect our all-Canadian channels of trade against an \u201c\u2018ever-vigilant competitor\u201d (meaning the United States)?Why the fear, so dramatically expressed on that occasion, of a deviation of our trade to United States channels if now this deviation of trade is altogether in Canada's.interests?The inference is obvious.Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1903 was so fearful of a deviation of out trade channels that he was prepared to commit the country.to millions of dollars in order to protect it from that danger.In 1909, when urging additional aid to the extent \u2018of ten million dollars for the Grand Trunk Pacific, he.again emphasized the danger when he said: \u201cOur policy is to bind the east and the west\u2014the east, which was the cradle of the nation, and the west which is now the hope of the nation, by means of that tie which commercial relations always create.I repent that the policy\u201d which we adopted six years ago for the building of the transcontinental railway.is a commercial and a national necessity.\u201d 7 These recorded utterances of Sir Wilfrid Laurier simply cannot be misunderstood.They carry irresistible proof that for years following his accession to office he regarded trade within the empire as Canada\u2019s hope, and closer commercial relations with the United States \u2018as Canada\u2019s danger.It is for him and his friends to explain why he has departed from that policy.The explanation has pot yet been offered to the Canadian people.They remain entirely in the dark as to the causes which presumably have converted a trade menace into a trade biessing, and have dispelled ail the for the construction of the National naqontinental railway in 1903, Sir \u201cWhy this expenditure?Why should the trade that properly belongs to] dark dangers of reciprocity with the United States which Sir Wilfrid had steadily before him until he fell a vig- tim to the miles of President Taft.*- 4 » Mr, Fielding's Change.\u2018Their habits ave the same as ours and therefore we are induced to trade and cannot help it by the force But .s0 far as legislation we have done everything possible to push our trade towards the British people as against \u201cThere was a time when we wanted reciprocity with the United States, but our efforts and our offers were put We have said good-bye to that trade and we now put all our hapes rect declaration of policy, these words They place Sir Wilfrid Laurier on record as Sir Wilfrid Laurier is not the only advocate of reciprocity who wished to have nothing to do with the Americans in 1903 and advocated the building of the National Transcontinental in order to keep Canadian trade in Canadian channels out of American hands, and thue to cement the work of Confederation.Farly in the Parliamentary session of that year the Finance Minister said:\u2014 \u201cThough we may be independent in a limited degree of our American friends; 1 think we ought to make it - | plain to them that we are determined to he even more independent than we are * * * The best possible way to live on friendly terms with our brethren to the south of us is to have FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1911.out her Indépéndence in these things, that the present proposal will promote thia object, snd that even if still another failway should be nécessary we shall be prepared \u2018to censtruct it \u201cThe attitude that the Government has taken upon this subjeet © * has already attracted much attention across the border, and there is à much kéener appreciation of Canada's independence than ever before.À © * Therefore, in the :ateréet of Canada to-day, as well as-in the future, it is well that we should let our friends across the border understand that whatever measure of independence of them we have now wé shall maintain, and that we shall increase that measure of independence by the line that we are now proposing, and should not shrink from providing another.\u201d .» # +» Mr.Fisher In Same Box.Then comes Mr.Fishér, He gives, it as his opinion that Canada's natural market ià the United States; that it is an insult to the intelligence of the Canadith people to say that trade relations with the people south of the border will in any way impair our national Existence or affect the relations between eastern and western Canada.But Mr.Fisher was not ever thus.He, too, urged the \u201ccrying\u201d need of building another transcontinental railway that should be every inch on Canadian territory.In his opinion there should be absolutely no delay in beginning the work at once or it would be too late.\u201cIf within five years,\u201d said the Minister of Agriculture, \u201csuch a change of trade were not created, I venture to say that a condition of affairs would arlse in the country which would be 3 menace to our national existance,\u201d What, then, is this menace that Alls Mr.Fisher's palpitating bosom with alarm?Simply that through lack of railways the produce of Canada\u2019s north west will be forced into American channels of trade.Mr.Fisher, therefore, advocates the building of this national railway in order to give the Grand Trunk an entry into the northwest that it mey not be hampered \u2018in the carrying on of its eastern traffic.What is the alternative?Mr.Fisher sketches it thus: \u201cIf we do not provide a means by which the Grand Trunk corporation may be able to get an entry into the Northwest territories, through dur own country and under our own flag.we all know that the Grand Trunk Railway Das Its connections with the railroads of the western states of America, and that it will obtain an entry by means of those roads into our North-west, and will bring down a large portion of the traffic of that country through American territory and by American lines of communication instead of through Canadian channels of communication.\u201d And so, says Mr.Fisher: \u201cIt is the duty of the government of this country to see that an evil of this kind (i.e.: the carrying of Canadian traffic on American lines) shall not arise in the near future.\u201d Mr, Fisher goes still further, He even explains why the government should prevent the possibility of any such evil.Why?\u201cBecause,\u201d ways the Minister of Agriculture, \u201cwe know that the inter- ents of the people follow the channels of traffic.\u201d Presumably, then, what is en insult to the intelligence of Canadians to-day was the very essence of wit and wisdom when it issued from the mouth of the Hon.Sydney Fisher in 1903.! Mr.Fisher continues, \u201c and if a large portion of the people of our northwest territories are looking to the great railroad corporations of the American union in aliance with the Grand Trunk Railway of eastern Canada, they will be looking towards the American union fot other purposes.\u201d \u201cThey will be buying the necessaries of life in that country instead of buying them in eastern Cahada, who can rightly and properly supply them.\u201d negotiators had been sent back to ot.\u2019 would ensue if Canadian interpçovine-, them understand that we arc determined to be absolutely independent of them.\u201d Ms.Fielding Continues:\u2014\u201cTherefore I say itis desirable that we should give our American brethren tn understand that Canada is resolved to work BE INDEPENDENT, \u201cI have found in the short experience during which it has been my privilege and my fortune to be placed at the head of affaire, by the will of the Canadian people, that the best and most effective way to maintain friendship with our American neighbors is to be absolutely in- deperident of them.\"\u2014Laurier, 1908.\u201cWith this in view, it is 8 crying and immediate necessity that the Mnediately arrange shat the Gand Trunk Railway corporation should have an entry into the North-west territories, and that in doing that we should provide a new and better line, the shortest and the chéapest means of communication for these territories, not only with eastern Canada but with our seaports so that their produce may be carried to the natural market of our food products, the mother country.\u201d As an apostle of the time-serving arrogance which distinguishes the pro-reciprocity juntas Mr.Fisher will pass muster very well smong the other quick-change artists of the Laurier cireus.But he affordr'an amusing spectacle in his heaping of ridieule and abuse upon the Fisher of 1903 and his principles and convictions (1) of that time.And Mr.Lemieux used exactly the same arguments CHINIC HARDWARE C8, St Peter Strast, Lowsr Town Bvanoh Fabrique S:, Unpèr Town SPORTING GOODS \u2014 d Saimon Rods in all tes, including the renowned BOIVIN, Flies, Reels, Lines, Baits, Tents, Bianke s, Rubber Sheets, ces, Paddles Oam, Dung.| qe Bags, Folding Beds, ete, ete, General eHeawy Hardware $.J.SHAW& C0.\u201813 8t.John St Telephone 873!
