Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - September 14, 1878, Winnipeg, Manitoba Fuess september 14. Fim daily edition. Saturday sekt. 14, 1878. Tuk ski Otte the j the above words fora cd the heading of an article which appeared in tie Toronto Vail of the 5th inst., coming singularly apropos to Aid our present modest Endeavor to convince or. Morris that if he does know All about Tho Ante Confederate politics of Canada and everything about indians lie either very Little Conception of what the present election contest is Cabout or wilfully endeavoured to conceal the real from the voters of Selkirk. It was asserted in our columns three Days ago that both or. Morris and chief sup Porter or. Mcmicken had publicly de Nied that what is termed by the i Ippoli Tion the National policy was one of the questions being fought in the contest in the East. This statement was Reiter ated More circumstantially in the of Kkt press of the following thursday even ing yet neither or. Morris nor Henchman thought it Worth while to publish either a contradiction or qualification of their most extraordinary Asser Tion. This is greatly to be regretted As the unpleasant task is consequently thrust upon us of demolishing a Gross misrepresentation which having already done service in Little Pointe de Cliene May very Likely be repeated in other quarters in the Hope of enabling the Champion to escape close on the subject of Proon Servatia questioning Section. We presume that All parties still admit that the mail is n recognized Organ of the Liberal conservative party that it is the mouthpiece of sir John Macdonald the Leader of that party and that it an exponent of the views of the leading politicians of the Dominion opposition. When therefore the mail undertakes in a special article to define the ques Tion before the people to its readers have every right to think that the journal in question " got the right sow by the this article is intended to prove that measures Are More important than men in the contest and that the question Paramount in import Ance is the National policy. Thus our Able though misguided. Toronto con temporary after denouncing As unworthy of Public Confidence the ministerial candidates for the representation of the Queen City declares it is right in such eases the men should be closely scanned. But there is in most elec toral contests something higher to be of far greater consequence to be passed it then sets Forth the claims of messes Robinson Hay and Platt the opposition champions two of whom it mentions have been favored More than once with popular Confidence. But above it goes on to say they appear before the people As the advocates of a National policy of a policy which will build up Large factories in this City and elsewhere in the Dominion which will diversify employment which will cause the manufacture in Canada of millions7 Worth of goods to import which is now draining our very life s blood away which will give employ ment to thousands of mechanics and labourers who Are now Idle or working half the concluding paragraph of the article yet More forcibly Emp a promising protective duties to their dupes we must Avail ourselves of the explanations of some other party exponent of authority. Ave have happily not far to seek for them. Following the article we have already quoted the mail a second editorial defending or. Play the candidate for Centre Toronto against the Globe s charge that he advocates Triena tonal policy for selfish motives. Sup posing it were says the mail that or. Play might personally Benefit by a National Trade policy what of it so Long As the Community at Large 11 benefits by the change no one so far As we know proposed to revise the Tariff Only where it relates to furniture. Tho National policy on the contrary at a Complete of Ike entire for the a Cheju of All Das sen alike so that capital May find Means of investment and skilled labor steady and profitable the above is a literal quotation with the exception of the words italic cd which we print in that Way in order that the general and Universal application of the opposition intention to raise All import taxes May appear the More striking. All we need now ask or. Morris to do is to think Over the matter and to Tell the electors at the next Opportunity that presents itself How this general increase of taxation is to promote the interests of the people of Manitoba.

Morris did not know that free Trade o. Protection was one of the questions nay the fought in the other provinces How does he dare come before the electors of Manitoba As the supporter of a party whose policy lie does not comprehend Well May he shirk by indulging in ingenious platitudes a Defin Ite reply upon this important subject to Manitoban chief Issue of the does not know the contest How can he was reinforced by one of them real old honest Nigger the runaways acknowledged the soft impeachment and were provided for.

Both negroes went to work on a farm then explain and exemplify party s attitude in relation to it if he cannot explain the principles of the opposition policy he clearly cannot have studied the consequences to Manitoban Likely to result if it were carried into effect. Or. Morris then stands self confessed As having become a candidate for a constituency of this province without having Given the slightest thought or attention to the Only party Issue of the contest saving the railway question though that in of fact almost dropped out of sight in the other provinces that any live interest for Manitoba.
