MY DEAR Elmâ€"lb was my purpose to be with ynu at. )‘ullr annuv-I meeting m-mor‘ row if I fell. at. all equal f» the effort. I am nut. hnwewr. 3mm: vuough to stand the fatigue, panicumrly of speaking, which, attending: vI-e. meeting invulves. I have,lherefore to :uk _\'nlu‘ kind consider- ation for my absence l regret all the more that I am m-L nhle m take any ac- tive part in yuu meeting as 1 would like to discuss certain p-mses of current. public opinion as uti‘ccuug political parties. This I must pnslpune fur the present. It would he llltercs'illq to see how far the protective, system did prniect the farmers (who are the great tax-pavers of the country.) The immediate effect of that. disastrnus pnlicy wasa very heavy. in- crease of taxation. While the liberal government. from 1873 to 1878 was under $24,000,000 it is now int much under The President elect then took the chair and made a few very appmpriate remarks after which speeches were delivered by the retiring officers and G. B. Smith,Esq. member for the Local House. The last named gentleman was heartily received. His remarks were chiefly directed in the great question which more than any other is agitating the minds of the people of Canada to-dayâ€"Commercml Union. He contended that Unrestricted Reciprocity with the United States would benefit the farmers from every standpoint, and, as a wholesaler himselfihe saw no reason to be. afraid of competition with our neighbors During the afternoon the fullnwing let- ter, which speaks fur I‘M-'1', was read by the Secremry, ll‘nlll the Hm. Alex. Mac- Kenzie, the esteemed member for the Home of Cumumns :- - A motion to amend the constitutionfio that candidates for parliamentary honors might be nominated by delegates from polling-subdivxsiuns, instead of in open mass meeting, fell to the ground for want of a. aecunder. The election of officers was then taken up and resulted as followszâ€"President, W. Braithwmze; Vice-President, Levi.E. Annie; Secretary, J. 0. Clark; re-elected; Auditors. H P. Crosby and G. R. Van zant. The financial report was read which showed the Assouiatiun to be In good standing. Discontent broods over the land. Ono province has taken the preliminary step to leaving the contederacy. Another is obliged to tight the Federal government on a question of over-ruling the Provin- cial authorities in a legitimate exercise of their constitutional rights. and in a few days a. meeting of the provincial govern- ments to discuss the mode of escaping from the state of trouble brought upon all bv the present incompetent administration at Ottawa. will take place. The result of the fiscal policy they brought in has been to precipitate a discussion on the commer- cial policy of the conntrv, in which radi- cal changes are culled for, which moves the failure of the protective system. In 1873.when “e assumed the responsibility of office, we found the N :rth West just emerged from an open rehellion,and peace still maintained by a. regiment of soldiers. while in another province a violent con- troversiiry on the school question was pro- ceeding which threatened evil conse quences. In 1878 we handed over the reins of government to the present ad- ministration with peace and order pre- vailing in every province. and with a greater degree of comfort and prosperity than has prevailed since. Sucli,liowever. was the niisgovernment of the present men that within a few years v e had to face another rebellion, whiie there now prevails all orer the Dominion an unpre- cedented agitation over provincial griev- ances which bodes ill for the success of the Dominion. l was glad to see some signs of a reviving public opinion in the direction of reciprocal trade with the United States; the resistance offered to the Federal Government encroachments on the right of pl‘JYlllCBS; and some mode of limiting the pun er of the executive in controlling the election by means of a shameful franchise gerl‘) wandering the constituencies. The President W. B. Speiuht in the chair, and J. C. Clark was in his place as secretary. The meutli‘u was well attend- ed by representatiws frqu all parts of the Riding. 0n opening the meeting Mr. Spcight spoke of the honor he felt in occupying the position of President of such 3 Riding as East, York, anu con- gratulatud the electurs un the success which attended them during the past year. - .. - I‘I $40,000,000 u The Annual meeting of the East York Reform Assuciatiun was held in Victoria Hall, Uniunville, on Saturday last, the 15th inst.
