 In Favor of

 COMPARISON.' 
 
 The result of the present political campaign will involve very grava consequences in so 
 far as your direct welfare tad interests as a part of the general conituunity are concerned 
 3aat think camly for a moment. Forget for a brief time the pathetic appeals of the usual 
 
 legion of Tory " heelers " an ' unscrouplus schemers now buzzing into your ears you know 
 
 them well. That they may better entangle you in their nets, traps lor the capture of innocent 
 dupes whoareto^e used in furthering the personal ends of their captors they cunningly 
 work on your race or your leligious antipathies and prejudices so as to sway your votes in 
 f ivor of the Tory party — or rather the Tupper Family Party. But where did you find these 
 self-same scheming vampires after each election in the past? Did you ever find one of 
 them honestly or "Igorously agitating and fighting solely in yonr interest and in your 
 behalf? Never, on the contrary having " pulled the wool over your eyes." 
 
 They lined their own pockets or secured situations for themselvM, 
 relations, and friends generally "on the Hill " — ^you were conveniently forgotten until 
 another election came on and the fools were wanted again. They want you now, and so you 
 find them at their old tactics, and for a like purpose, though the methods may vary here 
 and there. Many and treacherous will be the arguments used to make you believe, if 
 possible, that the Tory Party is friend and saviour, that its so called protective policy has 
 made you rich, but don't neglect to " size up " the motives of your temper. In nine out c^ 
 ten oases a moment's thought will convince you that man hes " an axe to grind " and wttQt.. 
 to u.* e you for the purpose. 
 
 FACTS ABB STUBBORN THINOS. 
 
 Forgetting for a time the mountain oi promises, which were no sooner made and tiieir 
 pui-pose served than they were forgotten. Take a look at the record of the Tory govern- 
 ment in Canada for the last twenty-four years, a record discreditable from every standpoint, 
 and see what has been done by that government in the way of helping or protecting the 
 dueot interests of those of Canada's people who have to work for wages as a means of 
 living. It oan be put in a nut^ shell. In 1872 the late Sir John A. Maodonald, being leader 
 ot the government at the instance and on the suggestion of organised labor, as well as making 
 political pArty capital introjuoed in parliament and hal enacted into law the Trade Unions 
 Aot, which in efieol declared that thenceforward trade unions ol working people would not 
 
be illegal or unlawful combinations on compliance with condUioria netforth in the Act. It 
 wa-. not all that labor sought at that time, but it wa<i all that Sir John Macdonald would 
 eori« ^e, notwithstandnig this Sir John juade the mq«t of thia act, on many a platform, and 
 with much nuccesa during tlie remainrler of his life. A Liberal Government hiivinj,' mean- 
 time supplanted that of Sir John, Hon. A. McKenzie being premier, Hon. E. Biuke being 
 Minister of Justic, in 1876, at tho instance autl on the urgent request of organized labor : 
 and recognizing the necessity and justice of reasons assigned, conceded what Sir John 
 refused, and introduced an act which provided that. 
 
 " A prosecution shall not be maintainable against a person for conspiracy to do or cause 
 any act to be done for the purpose of a trade combination, unless an otl-tice indictable by 
 statute or is punishable under the provisions of the Act. Nor sliall any person wlio is con- 
 victed upon any such prosecution be liable to any greater punishment than is provided by 
 such statute or by the said Act lieieby amended, for the act of which ho may have been 
 convicted as afordsaid." 
 
 In other words thia amendment of the law by the Hon. E. Blake prevented a prejudiced 
 or other judge inflicting any greater penalty for an offence committe I by a tiaUe unionist 
 than what the statute allowed. 
 
 « tu^'i'i *•**'* P™'®ction give.: by a liberal government to the workingmen of Canada was not 
 of the liking of the strongest supporters of the Tory governmont— the " lights " of the " Had 
 Parlor' and ', Sir John A., being again in power when the Dominion statutes were re- 
 vised in I88i the Tory government, tiirongli its revising commission, without voice, notice, 
 or let of ratiiament, had Hon. Mr. Blake's protection as quoted and as instanced above, 
 taken away by substituting therefor a paragraph of a totally different meaning, which ap- 
 p-jars in the lievised Statutes as follows :— 
 
 " No pjrosecution shall bo maintainable against anv person for conspiracy to do any act, 
 or cause any act to be done for the purpose of a trade combination unless such act is pun- 
 ishable by statute." 
 
 That is to say if by any chance a trade unionist or other workingman commits an act 
 punishable under that statute the presiding judge may punish him in such penalty as he 
 pleases, no matter how severe the punishment may be. And experience has exemi)lified 
 that the average judge will sentence " a labor agitator" convicted of the 8li>,'htest offence 
 against law to the heaviest penalty, wliile for a like conviction an ordinary oUender would 
 be merely dlsharged wHh a caution, or, at most, with a norminal penalty. 
 
 But notwithstanding what had just been done to make the criminal l#v as harsh as pos- 
 sible, the powers behind the Tory government felt grieved at the legal status and quasi- 
 protection conceded in the Trade Unions Act of 1872. They were not satisfied, and so in 
 1889 Hon. N. Clark Wallace introduoe<l and had enacted a law for the prevention and sup- 
 pression of combinations formed in restraint of trade. This law provides, among otlier 
 ofiences that every person who conspires, combines, agrees or arranges with any other p»rson 
 
 * * ' to unduly limit the facilities for • • " manufacturing or 
 production of any article, to unduly prevent or lessen competition m the production 
 manufacture, purchase, barter, sale, transportation or supply of any such article, etc., " is 
 
 Suilty of a misdemenor and liable on conviction to a penalty not exceeding four tliousand 
 ollars and 7iot less than two hundred dollars or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two 
 yearti, and it a oorporgtion is liable on conviction to a penalty of ten thousand dollars and 
 not less than one thousand dollars." 
 
 , Somebody may say " oh, the Anti-Coinbines Act does not aflest any of the rights guar- 
 anteed workingmen by the Trade Unions Act of 1872. On the contrary the Anti-Combines 
 Act was aimed at killing the Act of 1872. And it does kill it for its last clause is as follows : 
 "0. The foregoing provisions of this Act shall be construed as if section twenty two of 
 the Trade Unions Act had not been enacted." 
 
 In 1885 the government introduced and passed into law an Act to restrict and regulate 
 Chinese immigration into Canada. The principal provisions of this ii-easure are, one provid- 
 ing thai, no vessel shall bring into Canada at any one time mors than one Chinese immigrant 
 for every fifty tons of its tonnage, and the other clause piovides that any such Chinese im- 
 migrant shall pay to the Dominion government a tax of fifty dollars,

 berths for a while for a few friends. 
 
 Again in IS'.H) another delusive sop was thrown out to mistify the persistent thouith 
 easily dupe.l working people, who were being bled to desth by the ra^0Hlly fi-cal poli<!y__ 
 the so callod " National Polio- "—by the sell same Tory jiioverniiient juissing an Act " to pro- 
 vifle for the collection and publication of lid)or statistics " That is six yt-ara ago ; his any- 
 one yet seen a printed copy of the^e btiitistics? Everyfiody knows however thaf tlie govern- 
 ment did not forget or neglect to make r\ place under this act, for a pHrficular imd subser- 
 viant Inend, and to appoint him as " chief deik and chief statistical oliieer '' at the hand- 
 some salary of #2,UU0 a year. He gets the meat and tlie working people get the bare bone. 
 
 Fonr Acts of Parliament, ostensibley in the interest of the working people during the 
 long period of twenty four years and then even tiro ol thene four liave been rendered value- 
 less by tlio very party which enacted them in the tirst instance. 
 
 In si.ite of this niggardly record for this long series of years the I'orv party to day even, 
 barefacedly and witliout a blush of shame or sorrow, proclaim themselves friends of the 
 workingmcn ! Truly theirs is the frendship of brazen hypocrisy— the fiiemlship of the woJf 
 for the lamb. Tory and Tupperite will say, no donbt " com[»arisons are odious ". That we 
 should not think of such thing just now, that ra»i/ and unworthy i)rejuilice must have full 
 . sway. But let crol headed and seni^iblo workinguien compare a little nevortheles's.'so that 
 they may the better see why anu tor whom they cast tlitir votes on the 23rd instant. 
 
 A Liberal Government under the distinguished leadership of Hon. Sir fUiver Mowat, has 
 been in power in Ontario tor some twenty three years past. What has been the policy of 
 that Government towards the working people ol this Province during all these years? Did 
 it keep its promises to that important section of the whole people? The undeniable and 
 incontr. ■ ortahle answer must be, and is tliat the policy of Hon. Sir (Jliver Mowat and bis 
 Governuieni have always been of the most j.rogressive character not oidy as respected legiala- 
 tion generally, but more especially as regarded the inteaests and welfare of those alleged to 
 make a living through the sweat ot their brow. This l.as been illustrated in a striking 
 manner very recently when he sent an officer to gather together and pay the claims for 
 wages long overdue the men who worked on the Central Counties Kailway in the Kasteru 
 part of Ontario in our immediate neighborhood. Yes Sir Oliver Mowat an.l his Government 
 has scrupously fulfilled every promise to organized labor. Not only that but both he and 
 tlie several members of his cabinet, have, from time to time and sessioa utter session, 
 respectively Introduced and has enacted into law some fifty or more 
 excellent laws which their experience, begotten of a watchful regaM for the rcfiuirements 
 and needs of working people, indicated the need of, without waitiiij^ always to be formally 
 asked to do so, either, nor has he or his government sought to be lionized tor the good work 
 done in this direction, he and they recognize their plain duty and preformed it accordingly, as 
 a matter ot tact it is not asserting too much to say that in the matter ot legislation beneficial 
 to working people the Province ot Ontario bears most favorable comparison with the most 
 advanced counties of the world to day. 
 
 Within the period in which in has been in power, this Liberal Government in Ontario 
 as already stated, has had enacted a large number .flaws in the immediate interest of the 
 working people of the Province. Space will not permit more than a passing mention of the 
 scope and intent of some of the most important of these laws. 
 
 For instance, these laws provide for an deal with argumeuts between employers and 
 employees as to participation in profits, for facelitating the settlements ot disputes 
 between employers and workingmon, making the government responsible for the wages on . 
 thf se of public works aarried on unrler contract. Exempting certain wages from seizure by 
 garnishee, providing for liens tor wages of mechanics and laborers, protecting the goods of 
 lodgers or boarders from seizure for rent due by the householder, exempting wages from 
 taxation for any purpose, securing to wives and children the benefits of insurance on the 
 lives ot husbanrts and parents, providing for the safety of railway employees and the public, 
 establishing tree public iiabries, providing easy and cheap recovery of wages bv orocesa ai 
 law, relieving workiugmen from contracts entered into abroad to do work in Oiitai-ioif misleii 
 or imsintormed by those who hired them, securing compensation to workmen who are 
 injured in specitied cases, exempting goods and chattels of workingpeople for distress by
