The following is a fall report of Mr.
T. Coughlin's sk'eeeb during the debate
on the tariff. His friends and constitu-
ents will no doubt read it with interest :
Mr. Coughlin acid he would not
have spoked on the question to -night
were it not that au attack had been
made upon hid constituency, North
i\fiddlesex. The ,hon, measlier (Mr,
Trow) who had just taken hie seat had.
referred to the small majority by which
the last election wse carried in that
riding. Bub when he (Mr. Coughlin)
stated that he uow represented a con-
stituency that had been accustomed to
give 800 majority to the Reform party,
tliid !louse would understand the
ohmage that had taken place iu that
Riding in favor of Protection. This
question had been fully discussed in
the western part of Ontario, and the $22e,945. The American duty at two
people knew what they were voting
for. Gentlemen on the opposite side
of the House had tried to make it ap-
pear that this tariff ,meant proteetioo
to the manufacturers and heavier taxes
on the farmers. As a farmer, repre-
senting an agricultural constituency,
he felt it to be his duty to say that he
believed this tariff would benefit the
agirculturalists more than the manu-
facturers. Ile (Mr. Coughlin) thought
he had figures before him, taken from
last year's returns, compiled under the
late Mackenzie adminietratiun, which
would prove it, and would elbow the ne-
cessity that had existed for agricultural
protection. For indictee, we imported

He would uow call the attention of the
House to the question of wheat, on
which a good deal had been said. The
impression on the other side of tee
House was that we had exported mot's
wheat than we imported. tie wanted
to tell the House and country that
such was not, the case, and he defied
contradiction. We imported 5,685,-
411 bushels of %%heat, at a value of
,36,510.148—a '20 per sent. duty on
that, which was the. American duty,
gave them $1,127,082; under the oro-
posed tariff', with a duty of 15 cents a
bushel, the Canadian farmer will re.
ceive $845,811 by way of protection on
wheat against hie American .live).
Then, we imported 146,823 bushels of
rye, at a value of $77,898 --Amerman
duty, at 150 a bushel, $22,023 ; pro-
posed duty. at 100 a bushel, $14,682.
Peas and beans imported, 9 589 bni b-
els, at a value of $18,729— American
duty, $958. From this it will be seen
that the total importation of grain was
15,043,706 bushels, of the value of 10,-
630,578. The American duty on that
amount would be $2,150,367 ; under
the proposed tariff a duty of $1,979,-
628 would be imposed on these graius,
and our farmers would receive a. pro-
tection to that amount against Ameri•
can 'grain's, whew the Mackenzie tariff
left thew at the mercy of the American
farmers, who competed with them on
equal terms in out own market, and at
the same time enjoyed a high degree of
protection at home, Taming to the
article of flour, about which so much'
had been said, he (lir.: Coughlin) found
that we bad last year imported 814,620
barrels, valued at $1,866,101, Arneri-
can duty at 20 per cent, would amount
on (hie artlCl° to $378,220; under our
proposed tariff of 50 cents per barrel
the duty would be $157,260. Of rye
flour welled imported 1,888 barrels,
valued at $8,955 ; American duty at
10 per sent., $866 ; proposed duty at
50 cents per barrel, $941. Indian

There was a large amount of wool im-
ported into this country. .He would
also like to draw the attention
of the Minister of Customs to the
value of stook iinported'into this man -
try. . We found that in regard to
horses that the average value per tread.
imported, was $38, and Aliktb the aver-
age value per head exported was $90 ;
and cattle imported valued at $16 per
head, while our exported cattle were
valued at an average of $38 per bead.
Kuowing, practically, something of the
value of the stock imported, ho (Mr.
Coughlin) believed that they were en-
tered for Customs duty at less than
one-half their actual value, and he was
of opinion that the MHO scale of valu-
ation had been practiced upon many of
our other imports. He thought there
was something wrong .hero, and he
bogged to again call the atteution of
the Hon Minister of Cnatome to the
fact. Taking the tariff as a whole,' he
(Mr, Coughlin) felt that the people of
the country. especially the practical
farmers, had reason to congratulate
themselves on the ehange of Govern-
ment. While desirous that increased
duties should have been imposed on.
