SIR OLIVER'S LETTER Toronto, May 2, 1896. AL -v clear }lir. Laurier, --When ixrst the application was made for me some weeks ago to give up my posi- tion asPremier of Ontario and become a candidate for a scat in the }louse of Commons, with a view to accepting a position in the Dominion Reform Government which is confidently ex- pected to follow the general elections, the proposal seemed to me to be en- tirely out of the question, there being ,_. in Parliament under your leadership ariany able }nen, and the general elections likely' to add to their num- ber. I disliked what was proposed, because, first of all it involved sever- ing my connection with North Oxfor which bas stood by me at so man elections, and where I have so than esteemed personal friends. Then, gain, no position which could pia tically be assigned to me in the Don inion Government would be equal i popular estimation or in my own e timation to that of Premier of Can;. i.la's greatest Province, and ther t ivo:e other reasons, very 1mtartan to myself and my family, whtelt a.p peared to forbid Ind* snaking th chancre suggested One of these w , n e 0 r Y r n I t ti d y needed for the payment of the anima Y eharges incident to the debt. Alphos a, every year millions have been added c- to our liabilities, while hundreds o 1_ thousands of dollars of the people's n money have been going into the s. the election funds of the party, and L. still more been wasted by extras and c by indli i,renee, incompetency, er t V esse. Of Canadian birth, we both love Canada and the empire, and we both rejoice in our Rr'itish connection, -lye both desire the prosperity of Canada and the well-being of all classes, eonditions and creeds in its popula- tion, and I believe that we agree as to the best means of securing these objects. TARIFF LEGISLATION. We are, 1 believe, at one with respect to the tariff. I think, with. you, that the introduction of the pro- tective system was a mistake on the part of our people. So, you, like. myself, are a Reformer and not a revolutionist, and you recognize the necessity of legislation on the tariff being gradual and cautious, Adopt- ing that policy, I am glad that you see your way 'meantime to changes which will be a relief to our farmers and at the same time will"not injur- iously affect but rather benefit manu- facturers and their workmen. A Government owes a duty to all classes of the people. I quite see that one difficulty in legislation on the subject is the fact that considerable capital has been invested in manufaetories on the faith that a system which our people unfortunately have sanctioned for eighteen years would not be ahrogat- ed hastily or without due regard to the interests which have arisen under that system, I quite see, also, that the difficulty -ol legislation is greatly enhanced by the enormous debt Which the present Government has created during the last eighteen years, and the large revenue which is THE WINGRAR TIMES, MAY 8, i896I much longer term .of political power for the good of the people of Canada than fell to the lot of our lamented friend.

He declared the great issue of the day was the school question.. Resolutions were passed endorsing the course he bad taken. Since it bas attained power the Conservative Adniinstr•ation has in- creased the public debt at the rate of $1,400 an hour, according to n Here is the way the poorer classes are pr' tected. Mico is a staple tbocl of thousands of people in Canada as is shown froth the fact that nearly $140,000 of this product is imported every' year, Of that amount we im- port $98,000 of prepared rice on which we pay an added duty of $68,000, or fi5 per emit., and $41,000 of unprepared rice on which we pav :' 8,000 duty of ahuut 20 per cent. If the duty on the prepared were the same as on the unprepared we would pay only $11,000 instead of $08,000. That is, in order to support factories that produce in all $41,000 of goods and employ about half a dozen hands We—the poorer elasscs who use rice —payout in hard cash about $52,000 towards the customs, and since the Canadian manufacturer sells at the same price that the American rice is sold at, the Canadian manufacturer must pocket the difference in ditties or about $17,000, making a total of +(19,000. that we pay to support this exotic institution. That is helping manufacturing industries with a ven- geance. • Yee, verily, Consistency is a gem. The Conservatives are now appealing to the fanners for their support on the ground that they are the areiers' friend, and were it not for protection the farming industries of this country would he ruined. But surely that scheme is so superficial that it cannot work. The farmers do not forget hat the Inst general election was run n the policy question. The Couscr•- atives elabned that if a reciprocity peaty could be obtained with the United States that they would be as bible to secure favorable terms as he Befell -xi party, and as an taesur- neo of their sincerity they pointed at that they had already appointed elegates to , go to Washington to onfer with the Americans on the rade policy, and on his plea they were re-elected to power.

To remove to some extent, ti;.s objection, it has been suggested that I might take a seat in the Senate instead of the House of Commons. I perceive the rn aclvanta„es of this, both as regards myself personally and as regards the consideration of future constitutional changes whieh would add to the use- fulness of that body, assuming that a second Chamber for the Dominion is o be. retrained. How a second limber, ' rn t 4' c )u. a t t t a so largely 1 of the r, g Y nominees of one party as the Senate now does, can be just to a new Government of a,uother party, re- mains to be seen, and the necessity of early constitutional changes may depend on this. GRAVITY OF THE cants. Besides my correspondence with yrourshlf and my personal interview with you, I have during the last few weeks had many communications front and conversations with other representative Liberals, and it hos been made plain to me that it is the general opinion of the party to whose favor and confidence are owing my 23 years of the Premiership of On- tario -that the aisle is so' grave that every person)tl sacrifice has to be made and every i'Icidental risk run if the country is to be rescued ft= rth Ifit the misgovernment which the Domin- ion has so long been suffering' from. 'From the reasons laid before rite 1 perceive that Iny long experienee and my. suceess in official life in this Province Are theti. lit to he a guaran- tee that t could render useful service in the trt:ty (xnvurnni ent and Petite Ment of the 1> rrrtini n!.

In the light of past events I should not despair of the question being settled in a manner acceptable to the reasonable people of Manitoba and the .reasonable Roman Catholics of the Dominion. 'My opinion in regard to. it, and that of the Liberals of the Ontario Legis- lature; was expressed in the resolu- tion passed on the subject during Our lastsession. We have had in Ontario questions of various kinds which seemed as difficult of solution as t'• is question is, and they have been dealt with by the Ontario Legislature satisfactorily. On these questions and on most others intelligent, Conservatives now agree with Reformers, whether they will vote fur Reform candidates ur nut. If the Reform platform . were less acceptable than it is ti) intelli- gent and independent -minded non- Refurmers, the scandals which have conte to light afford more than sail!. cent ground for all men to condemn and to juin in displacing all men who were artl stotru s e uldn ls whatever rhey arose from. In view of alt such. facts, it is plain. to many Conserve - 'es that the usefuli e,s of a (Jon- rervative Goyerninent under its pre- sent leader is gone, and that as few years of Opposition would do the patty and the country much good. I venture to concur in that opinion. For myself, in the interests of Can- ada I desire greatly to see a Govern- ment in power under your leadership, being confident that it would he a over• good G nment, honest and eeono- mieal, thoughtful with respect to every Province and to all classes of the people, giving to all their just 0 e 0 e e rights, and promoting harmony an good -will everywhere. It would b an honor to assist you in the patrioti work, and, therefore, in deference t yorir opinion, and and that of so many other representative Liber•als,.I hay made up my Mind to forego all con siderations of a personal kind to th eontrary and loin you in what will be • The 'North Piet© Conservati, o L eonventioll lens a good illustration of how far party loyalty can displace tt common sense. At this convention a number of resolutions were passed a of a somewhat conflicting nature, for instance, a resolution was passed ex- pressing confidence in Sir Charles Tupper and. his policy, and another was passed sanctioning the course of Mr. McNeill, who opposed Sir Charles on his school policy, and was in con sequence read out of the party in no ducts –and natural products only— That is • to say, atter these astute gentlemen had gained power, they were willing to sell the interests of the farmer, but the manufacturer must be saved.
