beon heard before. It was used with
great vigor by thc defenders of the
lloss Government in Ontario as their
unfailing answer to the arraignment
which swept them from office with an
overwhelming defeat.
Thu (aunt is as absurd as it is
dnngerotis to those who make it.
Slander and personal abuse have no
pari in thc dignified addresses of the
Conservative loader;' and the Conservative platform he lias announced
is singularly constructive, progressive,   and   business like.
It is true that the record of the
Liberal Government gives peculiar
significance to the Conservative plea
for tin purity of administration
which forms part of the Halifax
platform and to whieh the Conservative party is publicly committed.
But ihe Conservative party is not
responsible for the Liberal record.
It is tnu that with purity of administration scandals of administration cannot exist, and that when we
j achieve purity of administration we
shall hear the last of graft in timber deals, graft In land deals, craft
In townsite dials, or of the wicked
ridiculous waste <>t the peoples money to reward political partisans.

And the late Mr. Charlos Sumner, in
the Senate of the United States, in
18C7, in reference to the purchase of
Alaska, said:—"The present treaty
is a visible step in the occupation of
the whole North American continent.
As such it will be recognized by the
world wild accepted iiy the American
people. Hut that treaty involves
something more. By it we dismiss
une more monarch from this continent. One hy one they have retired;
lirst France, then Spain, then France
again, and now Itussla, all giving
way to that absorbing unity which
Is declared in tlie national motto,
"EJ pluribus uniim." In reference to
tlio Pacific railway of th© United
States, completed May 10th, ir-f»9,
the late Asa Whitney assured his
readers in 1845:—"You will see that
it will change tho whole world, allow us to traverse the globe in thirty days, civilize and christianize
mankind, and place us in the centre
of the world, compelling Europe on
the one side and Asia and Africa on
the other, to pass through us."
The United Statfs View.
When, at the request ol the lute
Hon. Mr. Bayard, Secretary of
State, I visited him at Washington
in 1887, he said: "Well, Sir Charles,
the confederation of British North
America and the construction of tbe
Canadian Pacific Railway have
brought us face to face with a nation
and we must now dial with international matters from that point of
view."
No one can read these Opinions of
the public men of the United States
without SOOlng the vital importance
of those great measures from a national standpoint.
Beaten on every issue between the
two parties, you owed your success
in 1896 to a Janus faced policy when
the interests of ymir French co-rellg-
innists were at Btafco, and I think
you will agree with mo that under
the circumstances | had reason to
expect a fair share of support from
Quebec.
The bye-oloctiotin in Drockvlllo and
Huron proved that in Ontario most
disgraceful frauds were resorted to
by Liberals in 18!)t;. lu the election
of 1900 in Ontario l was opposed by
two Governments, with all their patronage and unlimited moans, while
there was hut a small subscription
made for the Conservative party by
a few friend* in Toronto, which only
admitted of a slight contribution to
aid in mooting Uie legal expenses.
Notwithstanding these disadvantages
however, although yuu had a major
ity of twelve when the dissolution
Look place al tlie n|0so of the elec
tion I hud a majority ol eighteen
and my defeat was secured by a
solid French vote mul the influence
of the ClovornmcntH in lhe smaller
provinces, all of which were imppor
ling you except Manitoba. Am I
uot warrantor! under these circum
staiieeH, when ygur opponents arc in
power in Ontario, Manitoba, British
''ol hia and New Brunswick, in expect ing that, the great party who
despite all the obstruction of thfl so-
called Liberals, made Canada
what It is, will receive from the
electorate the support to which thoy
they aro entitled?

if the influx of these people and
while we have heen assured by three
ministers of the crown that there
was absolutely no danger of any
number of Asiatics coming into our
province. On the very bout on which
the Hon. Mr. Lcmleux returned from
Japan, we And from the government
returns that 1,000 Japanese immigrants landed in the port at Vancouver, and since the signing of that
treaty on January liith, I'.ttlT, there
have   been     received  in the country
L.326   Chinese,   7,858   Japs  and  2,040  the tight with hare knuckles and
Hindoos.   I find in the province     of  "    '   '     ' *
from the Grit standpoint. SMITH
OURTIS IS A FAILURE AS A CANDIDATE, and knowing it they have,
by tbe great betrayal, sought to give
him some ghost of a buow of winning against Arthur S. Goodeve.
Hats ofl to keen! Let every Tory
take ofl his hat to Keen and cheer
him with three times three nnd n
Royal Bengal Tiger of the finest kind
ns a finisher, for having done tlie one
thing needful to make every last Con
servatlve in the     Kootenays go into
llorden, Goodeve, and a white
British Columbia.
British Columbin, we have a population of ubout 2011,0011 whites, taking
tbe usual basis of reckoning there are
•10,000 white male adults. In other
words the Asiatic population in this
province, equals the white male adult
population and we find the Asiatic
population Increasing at 100 percent,
per annum, while the white population is Increasing at a little less than
12 per cent, per annum. I ask you in
view of these facts which no man can
gainsay, how long it will be before
western Canatln will be dominated by
the yellow races. Unless prompt and
effective measures nre taken to stop
tliis influx, 1 have shown you from
Quotations from the official request
of the House, the attitude of the two
great parties in regard to this question. On one hand, we have the Conservative lender, Hon. R. L. Borden,
working to keep Ibis a great Anglo-
Saxon country. On the oilier hnnd,
yon have the Liberal government, led
by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, working nud
believing in the introduction of cheap
labor. I appeal to you as western
men, is it your desire that the great
heritage of our western country be
Inhabited by the Japanese, us favored by Mr. Fisher, minister of agriculture. Do we want the .lupanese with
his one acre grubbing day by day on
his hands and knees In order that he
mny raise the small portion of rice
necessary for bis substance or do
we want these great lands foi* which
wc have heen three hundred years
working mid building up, to he held
and dominated by the great. Anglo-
Saxon race? I safely lenve the de
cislon of this question In your hands.
Railway men and the Leinieiix act.
When the Lciinetix not was before
the federal bouse, the railway men,
whu form a large proportion of tills
constituency, ami, I may add, a very
large      proportion   of   the   respoiisil
fixed determination to win. As fains the Grits could, they gave us the
worst of the deal. They dealt the
cards from the bottom of the pack.
They dished us up dirt of the old
familiar Grit brand, and now let us
see to whnt extent it profits them.
On Wednesday evening Curtis eame
here for his meeting with J. A. Maedonald, K. C., of Rosslnud and P. J.
Deane of Nelson ns his bottle holders
and hearers of the bag with thc clor-
oform sponge in it. That meeting or
rather the atmosphere of it, would
keep Pat Burns & Co. tn Ico for a
century. It was a heartbroken, frozen fiasco. There was a haunting
senae of dissolution in the air and a
silence sueh as creeps on people gathered in a bouse where death is imminent. Tilings went well enough
while Dr. J. H. King wns speaking,

silence of the hall and Bticcoedod In
saying nothing. He bad no mandate
to deliver. J. A. McDonald, K.C,
the leader of the opposition in Victoria, followed and the Indies reached
for thoir wraps, He said that Laurier was responsible for the 120 million bushels of wheat thnt they harvested in the west this season. That
the great fault of tbe Conservatives
was tbat they never defined their
charges against the government. Ile
admit led thai there was something
wrong in tin1 depart ment ot marine
and fisheries and that Goodeve will
make a splendid ease against the Lib

But he coilld noi raise a cllOOf or a

Finally, Mr. Borden submitted on ho*

Sir Wilfrid's  unfinished  work
Grafters,  tinilier thieves,    middlemen,
and politicians  want htm  to finish
job.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier still begs the
privilege of finishing his worn.
His government has given to speculators only about 2500 miles of
western timher. There is a little
more.   Let him finish the job.
There ure more farm lands, and
more political syndicates like that
which got 250,000 acres in the Saskatchewan. Let the government finish tbe division.
The grazing lumls are not nil gobbled up hy irrevocable lessees. Let
that be finished.
Only five ascertained purehnsen of
land for government railways from
middlemen at 100 to 200*per cent,
rake-off have been reported. Let this
good work go on.
The cost of the transcontinental
hus only heen multiplied hy three.
Surely that is not the finish.
Mr, Merwin, of 187 per cent, ruke
off fame, has sold only $750,000 wortli
of goods to the marine department.
Let him finish.
Mr, T. L. WTillson's companies have
obtained only iJSOO.OOO or $900,000 on
the contracts which the royal commission so beautifully denounced. It
must not end there.
The ('anadian Fog Signal Company
has come in for only about $600,000,
with profits up to 1,000 per cent.
Why   stop at that?
Only two "Arctic" expeditions and
one "Montcalm" outfit have been
paid for. These things must not be
nipped in the laid.
At last accounts only 13 of those
astonishing Wallberg contracts were
iu prom-ess. This is an unlucky mini
ber and should  he increased.
Surely there are more Wagners and
Nixons, I'rcstons mul Leaebes to be
PI' oled and rewarded.
Only      78       tubers of  parliament
liavo I u appointed to olllee by Sir
Wilfrid.   Tlml  industry is capable   of
expansion.
Only one Quoboo bridge and oue
Laurier tower have fallen. That Ih
not enough,
only one Sub Target deal, one Falconer deal, one Moss Rille contract,
one Alaska boundary surrender, one
French treaty unratified.
Taxation and expenditure have only
been trebled, This is merely prelim
inary. Lrl Sir Wilfrid finish thene
works.
