Brit tate hen. member for Welland (N2r. 1!'ergueon) wis himeelf the -author of a [3111 brought in in 1841 and placed upon - the; statutes, wiiien contains the provision that fertilizers i,nllarted from foreign countries into the Dominion must be enbjecte:i; to n.nitlysis here before they eau be entered, and that the materiels mennfaotut'erd 111 this county must foreign markets. If that is soils it right that n high duty should be put upon tares* articles in order to put an ext, profit into the pockets of the manufac- turers here? When he was asked the question : Why do yon put on the duty ? he sad, y iu must remember that thAy are infant industries..

The erial as one of another nationality,preamble of the`Bill reader: ''For the and especia'ly so when these hon=maneprevention of friuds in the =mane gentlemen, out of their own, montes, .tore of a gricultnral fertilisers," Then unite in ssying we have greater facil. the 5th section gives a definition of ities in this country for the product.- Mr. Sproule. Is there al ytliing in material which she requires, yore rye r: agrtcaltural fertilisers. It says the expressions " agricultural ferti:ieers used in. this toiletry shall be construed as, any and every snh,tance imparted, manufactt,red, prepared or exposed for Sale for fertilie±ang or manuring pur- poses." That jilaiuly refers to any articles imported as fertilizers from foreseen 000ntries. Mr.Sproule. 'It says, "manufactur- ed or exposed for sale." But if 'I send en order to Buffalo, as a private in- dividual, and the fertiliser is sent to ale, is there anything to prevent my going' over the line and bringing it across arid using it without. it being analysed ? Mr. Macdonald (Huron). I under,. stand from this Act that all fertilisers inust be analysed If each individual were allowed to bring the article arose, what would be the use of putting on the Statute -book an Act for the protcotiou of farmers ? It would be useless if oath private- iiitdi- videal had a right to violate its provisions.: , Mr, Sp. reale. That is. horn- it is being done. -Mr. Macdonald (Huron■), `1.li,ere- fore there is ample provisions for analysis of fertilisers,. and twat pro. vieiou includes articles imported from foreign as well as manufactured in our owls country. Another argument that wars adduced was one brought forward" itis that -pleasing style . which ie. char- acteristic of the Postreaster General who has generally a gentlemanly way ofeputtio; things. in a fluent,. off - headed style, but with that . positive. nese which, is pecnli.irly characteristic of hen, . He showed dist we had all tlie.matei-ials iti abundance close at oor'hand for the inaeiufacture of those articles which are used as fertiliser:t. He pointed out in eloquent terms,.arie truly, that we had large beds of superphosphates in this Country, and also deposits of copper pyrites from which the sulphuric acid is manufactu.r- ,ed. If we have these raw materials; in abunfiauee, and have- every facility for their disposal, why should any manufacturer require a, high protective duty to sustain hien lir the market 2 The same hon. gentleman t' Id us that we could manufacture sulphuric, acid in this eountry so cheaply that we could send it into the United States. and compete with the manufacturers in that country. Then, why should we not be able to control otrr o,vn . Cana- dian market without a protective duty of 35,1 per cent, -en sulphuric- acid 2' That is the duty now imposed iu favor of the manufacturer. But, if it can be manufactured here as cheaply as it can in the United. States, and if we'have the raw. material ready to our hands, is it not .in the interest of the farthing community, who have to pay this duty, to keep it standing as an extra profit to .the Canadian producer 1 If we have these phospkatie beds, and if we have these two elements which are required to enter into the inane facture of these fertilisers,,is it reason- able to keep this duty on in order to put the extra amount into the pockets of these men at the expense of the agricultural community ? I say it is' not, and therefore we ask the goveten meat to remove that dnty. Another gentleman corroborated that nrgtt anent, My hon, friend, the Minister of Finance, who is capable of awaking the best out of the worst, who is' almost able to make white out of black corrobrated this argilinent. I 'was asteniened at the weakness of the position which be took, fle showed that we load rich beds of stiporphosph- aces in this country, that we had every convenience for manufacturing sat t phuri:r. acid, and we were told that these articles were sent to England, and to' ii eign countries and competed in' ion of urtifielal fertilisers ,than. they have in any other. What constitutes. an infant industry 2 Is it not time to take off the long elothes.from the in- fant? Will it develop. its.tuuscles and strengthen its bones as, king as you do not allow it to wall. ? Take off. the e swaddling clothes. from. these infants. allow theta to use•• thr,ir muscles and s those muscles will develop. and their s bones will harden, and they wilt grow up in the same way as the industries o of the United States belie done. Take the infant induustries iu Michigan. t In every town mut village in Michigan they have•eniall industries which have k to compete with the oldeet in the t 11teited States, and yet they go into T - 'eivery, 8 -ate and their wares compete wirit those of the oldest manufactures in the country, They have grown • largely, they are increasing the nun c - her of their hands, they are increasing. the investments in these industries in the West, and, wheu you remember G that Michigan and Illinois and other States are younger than Ontario and t the Dominion of Canada, is it reason able that we should continue to pay e this duty ii: order to put the extra b amount into the pockets of those who t are engaged in these manufactories, an amount which is taken out of that du large class of • the people who stand w at the foundation of society, and who add More to the national wealth than b any other class 1- I ells the attention N of the county to those who vote against this motion to•niebt, in order to show t1 that they stand by their party rather ti than by the people of the country, In order to. sustain foreigti capital as and foreign: investments in this country J they are willing to burden the Cana ti dian people in order to meet this additional expense. I might continue meth longer in dealing with these matters but I would remind the' Government that they arcs leading the country into some serious ditiieultiea in conlieetiou with these. restrictive treasures, I see to-nignt that < a 'oetaliatory Bill has been introduced by C. S. Baker,. of New York. into the Congress of the United States. and that is going to impose a heavier duty on our products than we can contend with. He proposes- to put 15 cents a bushel upon barley, and the United States is our only market for barley ; 5 cents a dozen , upon eggs,' and we exported to the United States last year nearly .$4,000,000 'worth of eggs; 15 cents a bushel on potatoes, and how will the peopte`Priuce Edward Island, whose principal product is potatoes, be able to pay 25 Cents a bushel to get their product into the 'United States l If we irritate the United States. by these retaliatory tariffs, this is what we must expect. It is time to face duty of this Government to giro earn reoiprooal character, so that peace, go will and harmony may enlist between the two great nations that are adjoining each other, Toilet Setts $;1- and upwards, Stone -China Tea Setts.
