John Oliver , the war horse of Del'*
is putting up on? of the best fights
now being waged for reciprocity, in
this province. Outside of bis own
stitu -cjr it is regarded as one of the
hardest in Canada to win on this is
sue. That, however is a mistake.
Ctty people who reflect on the enorm
ous prices charge*! them for food
stuffs lh.uk of the farmers getting
moot of those price*, and they
think of the farmers being opposed
to reciprocity because it will reduce
them. Itut city people do not know
that they pay two to three times as
much for vegetables and fruit as the
Fraser Valley farmers receive for
them City folk do not know that
they pay from 10 to 15 cents a pound
more for butter than the Fraser Val
ley gets for It. Also they do not
know that hams and bacon cost them
at least three times, often fire times,
as much as the farmer gets for the
pig. And so it goes through the en
tire list. The city man pays and pavg
and the farmer doesn't get paid. The
Ethiopian in the woodpile is not far
to seek.
And John Olivers constituents are
fully awake to these facts. The farn>
? rs of the Fraser Valley know that
they are underpaid and that the con
sumer is overcharged for the products
of the farm. And they know. too.
that protection is making the main
tenance of the skin game possible.
The farmer knows that he should get
a higher price for his products, that
the consumer should get them cheap
er. and that there should still be left
;i decent profit for the middleman.
John Oliver's farmers know that Wasn
mgton farmers get higher prices for
produce than British Columbia farm
ers gel for theirs, and they kne w , toc^
that Seattle consumers pay less than
Vancouver consumers do. Aud tuey
know also where the nigger is cached
in the melon patch, and they know
that this Senegambian is biding undeC
protective duties that will be wipeu
out when rec iprocitjr goes into effect,
l'hat nigger w ill get a smoking on
September 21 that will destroy his
taste for melon for some time to
i-ome
Th<- farmers of the Fitter Valley
are being by the most
straightforward, convincing and com
nxui-sensc campaign ever put up in
'his province, and the brains and
tongue of John Oliver are making tbe
i ampaign.
it is good U> hear John Oliver talk,
lie is every Inch * man, and a big man
in his speeches. His straightforward
honnst declaration sounds good to
hon<>st men. especially when there is
a chance to make a near comparison
witii the shifty cunning and subter
fuge. and prevarication and exaggera
tion and windy boastings of his op
ponent. j. p. Taylor. John Oliver is
a man's man. He panders to no sec
tion. He does not tell the farmers
in Ohilliwack that their interests are
paramount, and the workingmen of
New Westminster that theirs are ex
clusive. He makes a clean-cut, hon
est analysis of the right* of each with
a cleaving justice that every honest
nun admires and which ocavinces ev
ery man in honest doubt.
If the voters in New Westminster
want a wan of sterling honesty, of
straight-Hung fearlessness, of unques
tioned ability to represent them in1
Parliament, they must elect John Ol
iver, tor J. D. Taylor cannot in any
small degree lay claim to any of thes
qualities. He is a shufler, a quibbler
and a coward, because he is a liar.
John Oliver has the courage that
fears not to tell the truth. John Ol
iver stood on the platform at Chilli
wack and boklly told the farmers thei
interests were not the only ones in
British Columbia. That was courage.
Then be showed them, convinced them
by proving it to tbe hilt, that recipro
city was a good thing for them. That
proved his ability, his knowledge and
force as a public speaker. In his
hands the interests of New Westmin
ster district will be safe, because bis
hands are strong, his brain is clear
and his heart is honest. B. C. Sat
