THE ORNATE DEFECTIVE AMEND THE C0^3aTITUTIO^J- The pre'ioiit constihition of tlic Smiatc is inconsistent with the Injderal principle in our system of Ciovcfnmcnt, and is in other respeets defective, as it malms the Senate independent of the people and uncontrolled by die public- opinion of the country, and should lie so amended as to brine; it into harmony with iho principle:; of popular Koveniincnt. 10.--QUEGTION OF PROHIBITION A DOMINBOftf PLEBISCITE- That whereas public atienlion is at jjircsent much dirccicd tf> the con- Resolutions adopted at tho only National Political Convention ever held in Canada. We, die Liberal l\uty of Canada, in convention assemhlci.l, declare: I. DEDUCED TAXATION. That the customs tariff of the Dominion, should be baser! not a-; it is now upon the protective principle, but. upon the requirement.; of the public .-.ci'vice ; that llu: exi-;tin^ tariff,-' founded upon an unsound principle, and i:.-.ed as it lias been by the Government as a corrupting ajnjnc.y wherewith to la cp themselves in oilico, has devdof>cd monopolies, trusts and combinations; it iias decreased iho value of farm and other landed property; il has oppressed the masses to the enrichment of a few; it has decked imini;;r.iLioii; it has caused great loss of population ; it lias impeded commerce; it has discriminated a-eiin--t Clival Uritaiii. hi these and in many other ways it has occasioned ;;reat public and private injury, all of which evils muit continue to r/ow in intensity a-, long as the present tariff system remains in force. That th highest interests of Canada demand a removal nf this- olc-dade lo our country's progress by the adoption of a sound fiscal policy, which, while not doing injustice to any class, will prom/de domestic and foreign trade, and hasten the return of prosperity to our people ; that to that vim\ tint tariff should be reduced to the needs of honest, 'economical and efficient ^ovvnimenl; thai, it They are not even entitled to that sf10U'ft [J(. s0 adjusted as to niabe free, or to bear as lightly as possible upon, ' the necessaries of life, and should be so arranged as to promote freer trade with the whole world, more particularly with Great JJrilain and the United States. We believe that the results of the protective system have grievously disap pointed thousands of persons who honestly supported it, and that thu coiinlrv, in the light of experience, is now prepared to declare fur a sound h\eal policy. Tin: issue between the two political parties on this question is now (dearly defined. The- Government themselves admit die failure of their Used policy, and now profess their willingness to make some changes; but they say that such change:; must be based only on the principle of protection. \V*e tleiiuunec the principle of protection as radically unsound, and unjust to the masse.-, of the people, and 'we declare our conviction that any tariff chances based 00 that principle must fail to afford any substantial relief from the burdens under, which the country labors, This issue we unhesitatingly accept, and upon it we await with the full est confidence the verdict of the electors of Canada. 2. ENLARGED MARKETS-RECIPROCITY. That, having regard to the prosperity of Canada and the United States as adjoining countries, with many mutual interests, it is desirable that there should be the most friendly relations and broad and liberal trade intercourse between them; that the interests alike of the Dominion and of the Kmpire would be f _______________ $d ..prosperity to the. .'llritish North that the pretext under which the Government appealed to I admit this hva most crucial rju stlon, hut it in all the more crucial that.

THE LIBERAL LEADER. Iii I [on. Wilfrid I.auricr the Liberal party has a leader worthy to wear th6 mantle oi leadership which has dc-cended ir. line of succes* i?7tVfrnm^mchrmcnr as Robeit Haldwin, George Ihown, Alevande Mackenzie nnd Kdward Blake, lie is a bom 1: ider of men, linn, patient, ste.dfast of purpose, high minded. liberal in e\e:y thought, and thoroughly Canadian in his every atnhilion and aspiration lor thi country. His charming elorpcnce as a speaker is known everywhere, in the Dominion, In his oratory, he combines with th direct and practical realities of the I'm^lis'nman, a:sthetic aiifl magnciic cbarac- teridics of the highest. aUrac-livcnc;:;. Although of lueirh-Canadtan origin, a fact in which he takes pardonable prid', he has been a (dose student of Knglish history, and a follower of Knglish Liberalism. ,11 p; political prmciplesand love 01 liberty have come to him through the same, fountains from which his fellow Liberals of British origin have drawn their inspiration. As a parliamentarian he is the peer of ihe most skilful and resourceful of his contemporaries, lie hai. made no miitakc^or mis-steps since: his acce-sion to the leadership in I0X7,, either in Parliament or lace to face wilh the people in the country. He fought the general ductiuns in iMiji wilh a manliness, vigor and tempvfabmess which drew from his opponents worth of unusual praise and respect. Since 1007'he has visited Ontario every year at least once, and sometimes oftener, to addiess the people of this province. In ioo.| be not only toured through Ontario, bat went to Manitoba, the Territories and British Columbia. lie also made per sonal acquaintance with the .Maritime Provinces. '1 hrough the means o( these- visits he ha; created a profound impression throughout tlie Dominion, not less; hy his earucMnoss, frankness and tip: vigsr with wnich he discusses public affairs' thin the magnclhm of his personality and the brilliance of his eloquence. He has become more than a party chief; he is a national leadi r to vhom Cana dians of whatever province, origin, coudiion or creed look as the exponent of the principle; of freedom of trade, freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, I "'or twenty-five years he iias beet; a representative of the people in Parliament. His qualities as a citizen and a stttesnian have b'.-come thoroughly known to the public:;. and by opponents as well as friends, after this Ion j; and Mjverci ordeal, is admitted to be a statesman of broad, libera! and patriotic aspirations,, and a; a man stand; before the people of Canada, without fear and without reproach. In this contest Mr, Laurier asks the people of Canada io declare that gov ernment be carried on not for a party but for the couutiy, not for the combine.! and corporations, but for-the plain, unorganized ami unstihsidized people. He asks that government shall no: combine to be a mere agency for the creation of places and the distribution of office-;. He asks the people to declare their con demnation of the en nnotis increase in the cost of government since iSyS, tho wanton waste uf public money, the hachine bridge job, the graving dddc scan dals, the Langevin block robbery, the Little Kapids extravagance, the Tay canal waste, and a hundred other jobs and scandals in all parts of the country. He asks the farmers to say by their votes if they are satisfied that the cost of ad ministration should go up as the prices of their products go down. He asks the workingmen to say if they are satisfied with.the policy of-making millionaires; in a few industries, if they arc prospering under thoeconoiiiic-iyslom that keeps down wages and keeps up'the price of store goods and household necessaries.. He asks the manufacturers to say if.the value of the tax on their finished pro duct is not more than offset by a limited market, an impoverished people, and heavy taxes on raw material. He asks the fishermen to say if they have received justice under the policy of the Ottawa department. Heasks'the Canadian peo ple to say if they are satisfied with the, lamentable failure of the Government's plans for settling the Northwest, which has cost us so much money. He asks the Canadian people to say that a Government which Ins wasted the public money and.squandered the public patrimony, and a policy which has failed to fulfil one of the promises of its authors, and brought upon the country all the lamentable consequences foretold by its opponents, shall be overthrown ; Can ada rescued from the domination of the combines, agriculture emancipated, pro gress stimulated and prosperity restored. Never mind how you voted in pa.st; elections. Von are not the chattel of any parly leader, or the serf of any politi cal organization. Never mind if you were a Government supporter in other days.
