.. King and Soup. Kitchens’

During four years of Liberal |!
rule and low tariff hundreds of.
Canadian faetories have gone out
of business and many , thousands
of Canadian workmen are jobless
and gone to other countries,’ In
the same time no new industry
has been started. Capital can-
not be induced to invest in a’sure
lo:ser. But with the tariff ad-
justed Canadian factories, would
re-open, new ones would start,

wages would be regular and ‘in-

~ creased and the soup kitchens in
