As for Mr. Laurier himself, he returns to his own Province with his impressions of Ontario pleasantly con firmed He can tell his compatriots that the great mass of the people of this Province do not regulate their rec- ognition of the sen-Vices of a public man by considerations pf what altar he kneels at or what land his forefa, thers came from.

'i The procession made its way to Rats,ds grove where the speaking took place. A platform had been erected and fitted lip with evergreens and British flags, across the front being mottoes '. "Protection to our Home In, dustries/' "A Home Market for our FarmErs” and /'L0ngr live our Constitu- tioi', On _ the platform were seated 'the speakers and a large number of prominent local men and workers in the party from a distance. A procession, headed by a score of the yeomanry of North Waterloo, in silk hats, Wellington boots and red, white and blue sashes, and astride sleek- coated horses, moved through the vil- lage streets. There was plenty of good music, for in audition to the Berlin and Waterloo Bands, the ElmiraConcordia Band was in line. The streets were gaily decorated with arches, flags and hunting. There were mottoes in ahua. dance, and the sentiments expressed by them were diverse. "Confliet, Struggle and Triumph" were the words emblazoned in red letters upon the crown of ayhuge arch, under which the Premier passed, and they perplexed many who read them. ARRIVED AT BERLIN. Sir John Thompson, accompanied by his faithful lieutenants, Messrs. Foster and Bowell, arrived from Ottawa in the morning in good form and spirits, after a comfortable night aboard the luxur- ious Government our Ottawa. They were met at the station, and welcomed by a large crowd of people, among whom were some men well known in Berlin. The Premier was immediately taken possesswu of ty five whole-souled l gentlemen, who composed the Reception Committee whose nmnes are John Fen- nel! (Chairman), Hugo Kranz, ex-M. P., J M. Scully (President of the North Waterloo Conservative Association), Georgi Lang and w. Roos They shook hands hetrtily with the visitors, and then introduced them to Mayor Lackner and the town Councillors. Mayor Incline-r on behalf of the muni. cipal authorities, presented Sir John With it kindiy “orded address of wel- come. Just before the Premier com- 'meneed his reply pretty little May Lackner stepped up to him and tender ed him a. beautiful bouquet of flowers. Sir John thanked the little maid cor- dially. Sir John made a happy reply to the address, after which he was driven around and about the busy town of Berlin. After luncheon at the Wal. per' House, Sir John and his party, which had been increased in weight by the accession of Dr. Montague, the man from Haldim'md, drove back to the private car, Senator Merner and Mr. Scully were with the Premier, and in front of his csrriage the 29th Batta- lion Buul of Berlin made merry music. The private car was hitched to aheavi- ly laden excursion train, which took on still more people at Waterloo and St. Jacobs on its way to Elmira. At “Tater loo the members of the Waterloo Musi- cal Society, got aboard. A cheer of welcome greeted the Premier as he step- ped from the car. It came from the 500 people who awaited him upon the station platform. After dismounbing from the car an address of welcome on behalf of the municipality of Elmira was presented by Reeve Erb. tipeeehes by Hte l’rt-uilcr Foster mu! Hug:- gnra.

MEETINGS AT ELMIRA AND BERLIN. Sir John Thompsun's Visit. NORTH WATERLOO’S GREETING ELMIRA’s WELCOME, .THE EVENING MEETING. The meeting was held in _ the evening turBerlin in the skating rink. The enthusiasm here was scarcely any greater than at Elmira, Au no time Hon. John Haggare followed, and in a shortspeech compared the policy of the Government with that of thy Opposition. He was loudly cheered and Dr. Mohtague, M. P. for Hald) mantl, made a one-minute address fail of loyalty for the. party, With cheers for the Queen and foy SirJohn Thomp- son the meeting broke up. As Mr. Foster sat down Mr. Adam \Valper a sturdy Berlin Conservative rose and shouted '. "Now that we have heard Mr. Foster let us all sing '. "For he's a jolly good fellow." Three cheers were given but the crowd did not join in the singing so Mr. NValper made ip a solo to the great amusement of the crowd. F - Mr. Foster gave a short German pro- verb, telling them to “think and act,” which was received with sturdy cheers. Then he said '. "Mr. Laurier and his party want to make a. rift between the people of Canada, and he wants to make a clean path through this count- ry and place on one side of it the farm- er and on the other side the industries. Then, being a brave man, he sides with the farmer, whois in the proportion of 100 to a half amanufacturer. I main- tain that there should be no feud be- tween the farmers and the manufactur- ers. Their interests are co-ordinate, but I do not say that the manufacturer should be put in a palace walled round with a high fence of protection. I have no wish to make him a monopolist or combinist. The greatest country is the one that has the greatest diversity of interests. I am told that there are some Grits here. If so I am sorry for them and hope that they will see the error ot their ways. But if they will not do chat and are confirmed in their obstinacy then let, them be Grits, but first be Canadian: s, and altogether work for, the best interests of "Das Vaterland." As the Prime Minister sat down President Scully introduced the Hon. Geo. E. Foster. THE FINANCE MINISTER’S SPEECH. M r Foster congratulated the people on the great success of their gathering. Although but recently an invalid Mr. Foster spoke forcibly and awoke en- thusiasm. He reviewed Mr. Laucier's speeches. "I am going to read you a text and preach you a little sermon on it," con- tinued the Premier, reading from an article written by Lord Salisbuvy,whieh declared that at the present day free trade "might be noble, but it is not business." The policy of the (hiposi- tion, as told in Mr. Laurier’s eloquent language, may be noble but it is not business. The prosperity of the country under the National Policy was COt1- trasted with the five years of Reform rule, and the Premier closed an elo- quent speech with an appeal fora unit, ed Canada. i "The more that the great problems of the day are discussed by the people, the greater n ill be the prosperity of our country." The revision of the tariff was touched on and Sir John said that it had been deferred merely for a time, and that to consult the interests of all the parties concerned. He said that Mr. Laurier had made many attacks upon the policy of the Government, but had suggested no remedy. The leader. of the Opposition deplored the exodus to the United States, but had never stated why 100,000 artisans should be sent after those already there, as they would if commercial union were established. ing, the llL-hrinu sen tisherics ; and mrwvipav- ciuu1latly is this n. “inject for (-nngmlulzttmn by reuson of your nppointment as a in. inher of the Court of Arbitration, an upptnnlincnt which “as u well-merited tribute to your _ ability, cull the wisdom of which h.is been evidenced by the valuable SCI‘VIL'CS you “we able to give in that capacity in El, matter of such Vital lumicst to Canada.

September 25, 1893. THE PREMIER’S ADDRESS.

His words were full of fire and during his brief speech he aroused not a little enthusiasm among the few hundred people that had patiently sat out Haggart's and Wallace's dry statistical speeches. I FALL Hon. John Haggort discussed the tariff, saying that free trade or com- mercial union was a dead issue. He attacked the whole system pr'oposed by the Liberal party. It was nealrly ll o'eloelr when Clarke Wallace began to spank. The audience in the hall had thinned out consider» ably by this time and Wallaee's speech was short but forcible. , Turning to the Manitoba school ques- tion,, the Conservative leader detailed the history of the case. He declared that it was not the intention of the Government to interpret an act which involved questions between the Do- minion Government and the Govern- ment of the Province of Manitoba. "The question is one which can and should be settled in the courts," said Sir John, "and there it will be decid- ed." Hon. Geo. E. Foster devoted half an hour to a review of the acts of Mr. Lagrier sigce his entry imp publif: life. was the rink more than Lw0~thirds full and the crowd rapidly thinned out " her Mr Hagpiavt ln‘gan his address N. C, Wallace and Dr. Montague ad- dressed an audience of a few hundred. The hall was draped with red, white and blue and suitable mottoes of wel- come. Sir John Thompson thanked the readers of the addresses for their kind wishes and assured them of his appreci- ation of them. The Prime Minister spoke at some length, devoting most of his time to an arraignment of the free trade policy of the Liberal party. Everybody cordially invited to come When Sir John Thompson, amour panied by the Hon John Haggart, President Scully of the LiberullJon- servative Association and Hugo Kranz, ex-M. P., walkul up the central aisle they were received with hearty cheers. The Hon. George E. Foster followed shortly afterward. Mr. N. Clarke Wallace, Comptroller of Customs, ar- rived while the meeting was in prog- ress. On the platform there were in addition to the Cabinet ministers SR Hdsson, Ex-M.P., Stratford; Rev. R.
