TO THE POINT

What a Workingman thinks of the H.P.

The following is a verbatim roport, taken from the Oshawa
Vindicator, of a speech made by Mr. M. Foley, a moulder in the
Oshawa Stove Foundry, at a recent political meeting:

(lENi'LEMEN, — -You have called on me, but perhaps what I
have to say will have little interest for yon, though- it had, I can
assure you, a good deal of interest for me at the time.

The time to which I refer was the time Sir John Macdonald
appealed to the electors of Kingston in 1874. A great hue and cry
was got up against bim that he was a non-resident of Kingston,
and was not doing much for the city. I was working in the locot-
motive works at the time. It was comparatively a small concern,
but was gaining and was getting ready to do the work of the country.
Amongst other things we were told that if we put out Sir John
the works would l)e given contracts for the Intercolonial, and would
run full "time, and the men be kept bus}'. Well, sir, they put out
Sir John, and the promised change was looked for. It came soon
cnougli. The Mackenzie Government gave the contract for
twenty-two locomotives to a Ignited Stittes firm; tlie
Kingston works were closed down, and we were turned
out on tlic streets.

But then we had the great comfort of having Mackenzie cmd
Blake in power.

1 went looking for ^eork, and finally got a job at Barrie for a
short time, but the hard times and American goods sent me adrift
. ain. But you see, sir, there was the comfort of thinking we had
the Mai':enzie party ruling the country. I came down to
Toronto, and the first sight that met me was eight car
loads of sewer pipe from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.

It sfniK'ii iiir flii:i( if s<mv<>) pipe nas in siidi ilonmnd,
why IliniiihoiiN roiiiidrv, nhirli was t'sprrially equipped
Tor Midi work, would be busy. Well, sir, I went .there, but
found the foiindrv ahuo.st closed, aad the sand heups dry and
levelled down. No work there wh*"!! the sewer pipe was
llUidt; iu Pitfsburjii. •/>'(' ' the M<t(ki mic Gtyvernnicnt ruled. I
WHS on a gcnenil tramp, and finally landed in Ottawa, tlie seat of
this Government, When I got there, tlie members of the Govern-
ment were giving grand banquets and dances- to their friends, and
all about them was high jinks and jollity, but it was not so,
unluckily, for the laboring men. They were digging sewers, and
men V)Cgged and prayed to be taken on tlie work. 1 saw incil
seize a pick or a shovel and Jump down into the mud,
siartln;* to work in liopes that tliey eould foree them-
.silves on tlie forenutu, but it Mas no use. Tlio suffering
theru 1 duii't want to see again. You iii;i\' not believe what T am
•"•oinf to toll you, but it is a fact ior all that. A wuikingman pass-
in' ^ along the market .'.'"od a piece of beef and rar\ hojne with it.
He WHS followed by the market clerk and others, and they saw hirn
open the door a, id throw the meat on tlie floor. When they g'ot
up they saw the starvinjf ehildren tearinjSf the raw n*eat
anml <ievourhiu it like doj»s to stop their hun^^er. The
mi.irket clerk was sickened at tlie sight, and said, " Why didn't you
ti'l! us you were reduced to such a state?" "Tell you," said he;
•' haven't I l)egged the city aiul the Government, and everybody to
(dve me anvthing to do, that 1 might enili bread for my children
honestly, but none was to be ha<l anywliere. When I saw my
children starving, then I could not stand it any longer, and took
the meat."

tilentlenu'n. I vote for the Nati<»:Kil Foliey that ehanged
this, and jfave work to those that wanted work, and
wlun I think of my wife and lainily 1 could not do
anything' else. I don't see how any workin$;niaii can do
anything <'lse when he thinks, of the sutterin$i^8 of the
unemidoyed workin^nien under the Mackenzie tiovern-
meut.
