Thousands of copies. printed in French and English, have been distributed from this oity.
 I've are today governed" declares the manifesto, mot i'll the interest of ourselves, the people of Canada, but in khe interest of and by an oligarchy com posed of corrupt and needy politicians and place hunters in Canada and usur- CTS and bondholders in England. It is estimated that every year Canada has to send ont of tho country to England not less th. about $50, 100000 to pay the interest on government loans, bonds, mortgages and debentures. This money comes out of the earnings ot a hard working and industrious people.
 We are in slavery to these people. England has, by titles, by decorations and other ways, bought over and cor. rupted mum aers of our political men, members of the judiciary and many others to serve their purpose. It is time we freed ourselves and declared that heneeforth Canada and Canadians should no longer remain vassals Of an alien government"
 The manifest has created a great deal of excitement.
