Shortly after 8 o’clock,on 2nd ins‘f.,lhe Masonic Hall in this villagefias literally jammed with electors who had assembled in order to hear the remarks of the Con- serVative candiiates for East and West York, and other gentlemen, regarding the public questions of the day. On motion of Mr. Willmot, seconded by Mr. Duncan, Mr. Switzer, President of the Richmond Hill Conservalive Asso- ciation, was called to the chair, which be filled in an able manner. Canservative Mass Meeting On the platform we notIced Messrs. Boultbee, Darin, Fey, and R. Marsh. Mr. Switzer referred to the pleasure he felt in seeing such a large audience present, and explained that the meeting had been called for the purpose stated above, The Question of Free Trade 1). 8.

Mncdonald Mr. Boultbee, the candidate for East York, was then introduced, and was ~received with great applause, He said he and his friends intended to discuss political questions in a different style from that which both sides had indulged in; they would not drag in any personal matters, not look at questions from that standpoint; but discuss all matters in a quiet, gentlemanly way,-â€"tak3 a real business view of aflairs. There were two main reasons why he opposed the present Government. Non only had they failed to make good the many pledges made While in opposition; but in the past four years they have proved themselves to be utterly incapable of managing the affairs of the country in a careful and inexpensive manner. (Mr. Wallace entered, and was received with loud applause.) They’éfiserted that too much money was spent by the Conserva- tive Government, and said they would speedily reduce the expenditures, and cutoff all unnecessary outlays, when they got into power. fl Frcm that stand- pmnt I am going to speak; my figures are taken from the public accounts, you can all examine, and see for yourselves that they are correct. THURSDAY, APRIL. 11‘, 1878 The revenue for 1872â€"3 was 20 milâ€" l lions; the expenditure for same year, 19 millions. Revenue for 73- 4, 24 mil- lions; expenditure 23 millions. Revenue i for 74â€"5 (this year being also estimated 1 for by Sir John’s Government) 24 mil- ; lions; the-expenditure 23 millions. Alli these years the country was growingl richer; there was a surplus every year to be expended on works beneficial to the country. How great the contrast between this and the table shown by the present Government. The revenue for 1875â€"5 was 22 millions; the ex- penditure 24 millions. Revenue for 76-7 was 22 millions; expenditure 2-3 millions, leaving a deficit for the two Tears of some 3 millions of dollars. The :evenueof a country sometimes was liable to an unforseen shrinkage, but un- less it- could be clearly shown that all this expenditure was correct and proper, then the Government were guilty of the most corrupt extravagance; they are to blame for the heavy deficits. He held documents in his hands, which he felt assured, would satisfy the audience that these deficits were caused by misadmin- istration. Listen to these figures;â€"The year 1873‘ shows the cost of public ser~ viee’ underSir John’s regime; that of 76 under Mackenzie's. Mr. Lane entered, and seated himself among the audience.

This money is wasted in rais- ing salaries and appointing ofiicials where they are not needed. In fact, this system was carried on in every dcâ€" pnrtmcnt. This was the way they carâ€"- ried out their promise to reduce the exâ€" pe‘n‘ditnre, and bring about a better and cheaper mode of governing the country. It: was just such shameful waste of' money as he had shown, and the tinâ€"â€" necessary outlay on steel rails that was the cause of a deficit of three millions in about. two years.

The freight, insurance, etc., brings up the amount to over $3.~ 500,000. These rails could now be purchased For 40 per cent. less, which would be about $1,740,000;â€"f'ully a million less than the Grit; Government paid for them; the total of all the sums spent in excess ot’what the rails could be purchased For, and conveyed to difâ€" ferent parts of the country when re- quired, amounts to $2,195,000. This sum represents a clear loss to the coun- ‘try, owing; to the premature and impruâ€"â€" dent purchase made by the Government. The rails are of no use to the country, nor will they be for years t) come; and itheref‘ore, had they not been purchased, and all this money squandered, there would not have been any need of impos- ing an additiennl taxation of three mil- lions. We had paid out on emigration oi'er $350,000, for some 7,000 emigrants, and double that number have subseâ€" quently left the country. If all the money that has been wasted through theincapaelty and gross corruption of the Government: was added together, it would more than cover the deficits. Instead of' spending money in excess of‘ the late Government they should haVe reduced the expenditure; but; they don’t; try to do this, they only care for their salaries. When in Opposxtion there was nothing Blake and Mackenzie condemned more than havingr thirteen Ministers in the Cabinet at $5,000 each. They have ‘been in power over four years, and they still have thirteen Ministers, but at, a salary of $7,000. (Applause) My own opinion is that in such a young country we do not need so much lawâ€"making; we are overâ€"governed. We not only want to retrench at Ottawa; but we also want to apply the pruning hook to the Local House. They scarcely do anything there but draw their salary. (Hear, hear, and laughter). Last ses- sion cost the country hundreds of thousands of dollars, but in reality there was not enough work done to have taken the York County Council a week to do. We are overtaxed. There was a good deal of' work to do at Confederation. Saudr’ield Macdonald,‘ Richards and Cameron did a great deal more work for little over half the money that it now cests to run the Local House. We must retren‘ch, or there will be deficit after deficit, until National bankruptcy stares us in the face. But these are only small mattitrs compared to what: we are now coming to; and the commonsense ‘of'the people will remedy such abuses. ‘Now we take a new departure, and in- augurate a new system, one that is urgently needed by the country at the. present timeâ€"Protection to our indusâ€" tries. The present Government is strongly against protection; they style it a delusion. Sir John and the party of which he is leader, on the other hand, see that the country is suffering through the present tartfi" system. It certainly seems toolis‘n that we do not take the example of other countries and grow rich. N0 country ever became rich without mauf'actures. Why? If we take the fruits of' the soil, say a million dollars worth of wheat, and send to the: States for clvthing, the result is that the‘ money is entirely gone. The exchanged goods wear out, and the money is gone. If that million dollars worth of goods was manufactured in Canada the money would remain here, and be circulated around amongst the people. If the Opâ€" position get to power we will have pro- tection. Millions of money now locked up, wrll be distributed around by means ot‘manut‘actures, and all the country will be benefittcd. There is no poss- sibiuty of the country becoming pros percus unless the money goes from hand .to hand amen;r the laboring men. When it is l cincd up it does no good. There are millions new locked up by capitalists in Toronto and other cities, because they cannot, under the present tariff,em‘ploy their wealth in manufac~ tures. This money is doing no good, but put it:- into shops and let it get dif- fused amongst the people, and that’s how the country will grow. People talk about the dearness ot things under pro- tection. My oWn opinion is, I think it will not make the slightest increase in price. Besides, it isn’t the price of‘ the calico that bothers a man ; its getting the money to pay it. (Hear, hear). England is cited by Free Traders as an instance of how a country progresses under that system. England has been Free Trade for a short time, hut it will not be so long. There has been such distress caused there by competition from the States and elsewhere that a great agitation is going on for Protec- tion, and I venture to say, it will not be more than five or six years before pro tection is again adopted. England for many years had a system oFmost rigid protection, and shut out every thing un- til she get rich, and had worked hersle up to such a point that she was able to command all markets, and then she came out for free trade. Russia, Ger- many, France and Spain, threw open their markets at. first, but they soon get poorer, and had to stop the Free Trade. Germany and France commenced, under protection, to manufacture their own articles, and are now competing in many lines With England,1n her l‘OfDU markets ‘This competition is causing failures land strikes in that. country, and [Free Trade will not last longer than five lor six years at the most. “So long as they cling to Fret) Trade, We shall regard the Czlnucks as very neighhor‘y people. \Ve must say the present Government is composed of very original Staicsmen.” (Great; applause). (TO BE com‘mumn.) The number ofbuildings now in course of erection in this city is. in View of the long-continued depreSSion of trade, very remarkable. Still more wonderful is the t fact that nine-tenths of these new houses find tenants as soon as they 'are ready to be occupied. It does nct follow, however, that the city is increasing so very rapidly in population. The new buildings are iu‘ most cases taken liy reople already resident in the city. Many of these new structures are exceedingly well-designed, and in every respect. a credit to the nrehitectual profes- sion. it, is understood that most of the capital thus employed is furnished by the Scottish and other land investment societies, so many of which have been lately organized that they must find some difficulty in obtaining t'emunetative investments for all their spare capital. As these companies can readily raise any amount of capital in Great Britian at tour to four and a half per cent, it is obvious that they can afford to employ it at seven to eight in Canada, with sufiicient profitto ensure them a very satis- ‘ factory margin of profit. This manner of investing money is evidently far more attractive to English and Scottish capitalists then the railway and O'llC‘t‘ stocks which wete for many years so favored. At the same time it is undeniably ndt‘antageous to Canada. to have capital pouring in, in this lVVttY from across the Atlantic; so tlittt the lnew Land Investment Societies are doing good s‘ervtce in every point of View.

This part seems to be growing into great favor with city merchants, who lind it very convenient to be within easy reach of their city offices by the Yonge street-ems. yet enjoying all the advantages of a residence. in the country. On the other side of Yorlcvil‘xe. towards the west, the rew Avenues are filling up with snug- loolting houses. which are now beginning to encroach upon the marketgardens on the south side of the ravine. Now that Yorltville is provided with water. gas; telc- graph, {ire alarm,and almost every requisite nfa well-governed citv, it is yearly becom- ing more desirable as a place of residence. The leftist attractive Feature 0'." ankville is its main thoroughfare, Yonge street, which might receive a little more attention without being ziny the worse for it. Two or three private residences are in course of emisttuc- tion nearly as tar up as Christ Church. In othei- directions, further east and west. from the city, there are also some signs of progress; towards the west, beyond the Lunatic Asylum and the Central Prison, :1 good many buildings are going up, several estates having been laid out in building lots. The opening of the new park has given this stiction a fresh start. Il’1 .1 year from now there will be a streetwar track extending from Queen street out along the Lillie Shore road to Hing Park and the Humber. bringing severnl famous resorts for picnic-parties into easy reach. The old garrison common or at least that portion of it which has been granted to the city for exhibition grounds, will soon begin to pre~ sent a lively appearance. The new build- ings \\'lll be on quite an extensive scale, and the wharf to be built on the lake shore will give a very pleasant and easy method of'access by steamboat from all pan-ts, thus avoiding the walk or drive along the dusty roads from the city, which was so great a drawhaek to the old site at the foot. of King street.

BUSINESS MEN READ THIs.â€"-Tl.e :pring trade will soon open, and we do not know of anything now worthy of the attention of our merchants than the inducements offered by the HERALD for advertising their goods. The large and rapidly increasing circulation of THE HERAX D, and the eagerness with which it. is perused by all classes of the com~ munity, renders it one of the best ad- vertising mediums in the County, and the best in this section. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that a. liberal and judicious use of printer’s ink is an essential requisite to successful mercan- tile pursuits, and no better opportunity for such can be offered than that which the HERALD presents. The Markham Economist by insinua- tion and by “we undgrstand,“ wishes to give his readers the Silica" {Tim some perâ€" son outside 51': fliis oflice wrote the article that has apparently knocked the editor of the Economist off his pins.

The number attending the Convention was 99; all told. It was a regular packed meeting; a half-:1 dozen men having the say of who should attend. The Economist man has refuseti to exchange with this paper. He imagines that he is the boss editor, and his paper far supe-iar to any other in the county. At the same time he is not above sneakingly obtaining a copy ofour sheet. He has been tbrced at. last to acknow- ledge that; the HERALD is still alive and capable of holding 1ts own, even against the “wonderful paper,” known as the Markham Economist. The way the money goes, and the reason of the enormous deficits the pres- ent Government are havng year by year since they have been in power is partly accounied for by their extravagance in the matter of emigration. In 1873 when Sir John Macdonaid was in power it cost $139,000 for 37,000 immigrants; last year 7,700 was obiained at an out- rageous expense of $350,000 to the country. Further commentis futile. Some three or four thousand dollars storage has been paid on the Mackenzie steel rails lying idle at the North West; I’f/the Canadian people have one greater grievance that} another, it‘ is the frequent changes of our school books. Authors, as well as publishers, now inâ€" fluence the Educational Department, and, for their own selfish ends, get one series condemned when another is ready. If this system is to be continued, our public schools will become so expensive, and our teachers so inefficient, that those who de- sire to educate their children thoroughly. will establish private schools, and our pub- lic ones will then be deserted. In our school days-â€"n‘2any yearn agoâ€" Murray’s was our only grammar; the Fables of [Esop afforded us amusement as well as instruction; the lnstories,’ written by Goldsmith, supplied us with valuable in- tormation, the Common Voxter was our chief arithmetic, and a spelling hook and slate completed our equipment. Education then was real and thorough; now it is 1m? aginary and unreal. lf we are to make genuine progress in the education of the young, our school laws must be reviSed and amended, and any amendment made Should not. be merely a change, but a. permanent improvement. It the Minister of Education gives a school system that deserves the support of the people’ he will have merited their confidence and good wishes.
